Didn’t know that toilet bolt holder existed. I guess everybody goes through the tool buying stage..... you did make me want to go buy that telescoping magnet grabber. 👍

You can tell how serious a maintenance man is just by looking at his tools... I know a few techs that go to work orders without tools. Then they go get a few tools in their hands to do the work order. Ofcourse they end up just walking back and forth to their shop just waiting time. *we all go through the buying alot of tools phase😬. It comes and goes through.

I'm a maintenance ma'am, I agree with the budget guiding the tool shopping. I've got a blend as well and also I'm not above a harbor freight trip if need be! That being said though I haven't had any performance issues with my ryobi tools. Tool shopping can get outta hand easy.

Good video. I think I suffer from the same addiction...buying tools I don't need. Heck, I purchased a Ryobi BT3000 table saw over 20 years ago. I put it together in the living room. Made my wife really happy. I have never used it so it is in my tool graveyard in my basement. That is just one of the many useless tools I have. It sure is fun purchasing them though.

80% of your tools will only be used 20% of the time. However, it is nice to have them all when you need them. In my residential property management world, there is no need to lug everything around in backpacks. My service truck is never more than steps away. My carry in tool bag is golden and I am constantly upgrading it to meet the changing times. I use a lot more power tools than apartment techs. For example, I use one of my Dremels, or other power tool, on almost every job. -
