21 HAND TOOL TIPS, TRICKS & SECRETS!! (Hammer/Screwdriver/Tape Measure/Pliers...& MORE HAND TOOLS!)
There are more aspects to many of the hand tools we all use than meets the eye. In this video, The Honest Carpenter will show 21 hand tool tips, tricks and secrets that he has used over the years. Perfect for carpentry newcomers and DIYers!
1) Tape measure tabs are supposed to wiggle. (This is called tab/hook travel.)
2) Tape measure tabs can be used for quick marking.
3) Changeable screwdrivers have six functions (6-in-1), not four.
4) Screwdriver bits can be used in drills...in a pinch.
5) You can countersink roughly with a phillips screwdriver.
6) Use needle nose pliers to hammer small nails.
7) Needle nose pliers come with wirecutters built in.
8) Hammer nails at 90 degrees to start...then angle them.
9) Use a scrap board to pry nails.
10) You can pry nails sideways (when surface quality doesn't matter).
11) Combination squares have a secret marker.
12) Wrench heads are helpfully angled at 22-1/2 degrees.
13) Use a sharp nail set as a drill punch.
14) Speed square can act as a saw guide.
15) Speed square makes a great straight edge for knives.
16) Utility knives better than pencils for marking cuts.
17) Most pliers have a helpful slip joint.
18) Use needle nose pliers to help back out a screw.
19) Screwdrivers help turn eye bolts.
20) Use large screwdriver for offset nailing.
21) Use mini hacksaws for tight spaces.

A piece of cardboard can work too. Poke the nail through a piece of cardboard, and hold _that_ to hold the nail while keeping your fingers out of hammer's way. You can tear the cardboard away from the nail once it's got firmly started and doesn't need to be held any more.

I had an employee review yesterday and one of the things they brought up was that they liked how I spent time outside of work learning more about the tools I use and they could see that it has made me better at my job. I'm a house painter but we use most of the same tools in carpentry (not least becsuee the GC's out where I am are awful and hire crappy temp crews to pump garbage trim sets and shoddy drywall out.) I have learned quite a bit from your videos and I apply that knowledge on my sites. Thank you!

That's great to hear about the review, Taylor!

Nice video. Quick paced and informative. I was an interim administrator at our local vo-tech school following my retirement and watched the instructor give most of these tips to his students. He didn’t show them the multi tip screw driver as a nut driver. I asked him if he ever mentioned that to his students. He kind of laughed and told me that he was sure they all knew that trick. But, he told me to come back to his class the following day as he would be asking some of his students individually if they knew the trick. It turns out that many did not know. He was surprised and added that tip to his instructional repertoire.

All your videos are highly informative and very well presented! No difference with this one... I have been binge-watching them over the past few days. I am not a professional of any kind (I am originally trained in fine arts, but presently tied up full-time with tedious managerial work!) - However, I have been fiddling around with hand tools ever since I was a kid (I am 52 now). And, I have learnt almost everything I know by either trying-out stuff, or by watching a professional worker - most of them, in my country, hail from the poorer communities - and so, usually have a limited set of tools and equipments to work with. As a result, they use a LOT of 'hacks' - in order to maximise/ diversify the use of each tool they possess! Of all the tips & tricks in this video (most of which I have seen our carpenters/ car mechanics/ etc use at some point), the LAST one was SPECIAL for me! I didn't even know that there actually was a tool such as the "mini hacksaw"!!! Here in India, we do have a "hack" for the problem - which, even though slightly risky, does get the job done... When we need to cut something that is inaccessible (even with the "miniature versions of the larger frame type" that @rivolhino has mentioned below) - we simply DISMANTLE THE HACKSAW BLADE FROM THE FRAME > WRAP A THICK COTTON CLOTH TO THE BASE END OF THE BLADE > AND GRAB IT WITH OUR HAND, TO STICK THE CUTTING END OF THE BLADE INTO THE TRICKY POSITION! When I saw the mini hacksaw tool on your video here, I ASSUMED that it would NOT be available here... but to my pleasant surprise, amazon.IN actually has a NUMBER of them on offer! It has promptly gone into my "wishlist" for the workshop I am presently trying to set up... Thanks for the tip!!!

This is so brilliant I loved these experienced tips and tricks of the trade, I learn so much from your how to use these tools videos, its essential to know how to use the tools correctly and safely I really appreciate these types of informative demonstrations it's so valuable knowledge, I'm a very inexperienced DIY-er I can use a drill put up shelving but I lack knowledge of what tools to use and how to use them, I really dont know how to operate handsaw tools, as I've never used them before, but I would love to learn and feel more competent and confident, your channel is excellent I'm loving it all, please keep it coming, do you have any videos about how to use jigsaws, bandsaws and what's the best way to cut circular projects in wood what's the best tool for that? Thank you new subscriber Laura in England
