Years ago when I worked as a formwork laborer I had one of those Buckeroo belts with shoulder suspenders. My lower back thanked me after a while.

My lower back was happy with suspenders but not my shoulders!

Awesome to wake up and see a video from you brother. Love the channel and seen every video. I’m a concrete finisher from the US. Do all my own formwork and I’ve definitely learned a lot from your channel

I did buy the artisan system 3 years ago and it was one of the best tool investments I ever made.After 2 back surgeries,carry my tools was a daily torture till I bought the D.B. tool belt.The way it fits on the waist is really suitable for the people with back issues. Instructive video.

I have been a formworker for roughly 20 years and I have never owned a speed square. I don't even carry one, only keep it in the bag. I find a combination square more useful, mainly for scribing a thickness long ways along a timber. Apart from that, I prefer to use a sheet of ply. Most tools I do not carry except long handle straight claw hammer, 300mm chrome knips, tape, knife, nail bar, pencil, crown, and obviously fixings. Everything else goes in the bag. Nice video.

I can’t remember if I mention it or not in the video but yes when I did suspended slabs I would carry very little. I never carried a square for about my first 14years. It is great having all the right tools but it is more important that you know how to do a great job without them. That’s a true master. But having said that having high quality tools will improve your quality of work and your ability to charge more $$$.

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 6 ай бұрын

Oh and if you buy a speed square with the pencil notches it is great for scribes, we do lots of angles, lots of stairs. Speed square is king for this

@charlieayres9050 6 ай бұрын

id say it would be different state to state but terminology could potentially be a good one, also weird tricks (tie wire & tek screw to hold ply to concrete ect.@@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783

I defense of the combination square. They are really useful for checking outside corners like if your forming for drainage in a concrete slab 2 years ago I was forming a lot of that and the speed square just wasn't quit cutting it.

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 6 ай бұрын

You can hold a strip of ply against one side of your speed square to check out side corners or grab a roofing square. But if you do it regularly yes a dedicated tool is handy. I however would have checked an outside corner with a square maybe 20 times in the last 18 years.

Hi, what is the chalkline you use? I use toughbuild belt with gelfit suspenders. They are amazing. I bought a nailer from milwaukee based on your previous movies and i am happy as well :)

@bmformworkconcreteconstruc9783 6 ай бұрын

I think it was a Stanley chalk line. I’m not fussy with chalk lines. They all work fine when new and they all break eventually and clog up no matter how much you spend. So I just buy the smallest and go middle of the road for price.
