I know you're a professional, I respect that. That being said let me tell you a story. A couple years ago my uncle who's been a mechanic all his life was using a grinder without a guard and the disk exploded with no warning and almost killed him. He's been using that very same grinder for decades I'd wager, and I'm sure he didn't think anything would happen until it did. Please be careful for your family if not for yourself, I just don't wanna see anything happen to ya so I thought I'd tell the story. Take care.

I see so many people use their grinder without the guard. It’s so damn dangerous and for what? Genuinely what it doesn’t really do anything for you to take it off other than maybe giving you a tiny bit more cutting space and a “cleaner look.” Not worth losing your eyes or disfiguring your face or worse. Content creators need to start pushing this hard. I think SeeJaneDrill? Talked about this in her angle grinder video. Also about not using gloves.

0:32: Grinder. (Looks like MAKITA or Bosch Corded). Versatile, precise, good for customer contour. Cost $100 9 years ago, about the same price now. Blades from $5 to $50. Quick change lock. Can change wheels to cut what you need or from porcelain, to tile, to metal. 2:38: impact drill driver. (DEWALT cordless impact driver). Quick release and magnetic tip. Many drill bits now come with a little notch that fit into the quick release. Never overheats or melts. Has a little notch to stick on tool belt (important). Battery reader to indicate battery level. Just don’t mix concrete with it. 4:01: Sawzall. (DEWALT reciprocating saw, 20v). Best for demolitions. Lever on the side that give option for blade to attach vertically, horizontal or upside down. If you notice you’re getting jammed with dust and particles, spritz with WD-40 every few months. Can cut cast iron, to wood, to wood with nails... even precision trim on flooring. 5:10: the tool he built the whole shed with... a skill saw. (DEWALT 7 1/4” 20v with brake). 7 1/4” is standard size for the circular blades. Separately sold attachment has the ability to hook onto a guide, and use as a portable table saw. His advice is to only drop the lever to lessen friction to blade. It’ll extend the blade life. Also comes with a wrench and a home for the wrench to change out blades. 6:42: chop saw. 12” DEWALT for thicker materials. Miners, but not a sliding saw (which you don’t need most of the time.. save yourself some money). Pros might get a sliding, but if your reno’ing your home, save yourself. But during Christmas or Father’s Day sales. 8:00: compressor, (HUSKY). Only about $100. If you get the cheaper compressor, get a real nice no-kink $50 hose. Swap the one that comes with it out right away. 1 Qt is usually all you need for home reno. Can run a hardwood nailer, trim nailer, even spray texture. 9:11: (extra, for the ladies) palm nailer. (Freeman Mini nailer attachment for compressor). Only weighs about two pounds, just apply gentle pressure against the wall, and you can nail just about everything.

I've been looking for a decent grinder, but I'm kinda beating my head against a wall. I found one that looked decent, (7" Ridgid Angle Grinder), but some reviews talked about how it wasn't great. Some had the tool burn out on them after a few min of use while others had issue with the disc itself, say it could only use type 27 discs. The issue with the type 27 disc concerned me a bit since I do want some versatility to pick which disks I can put on it. I have a good Ridgid skill saw and love it. Doesn't get much use, but it does the trick. Use a corded Dewalt drill, but I will be looking to hopefully upgrade to either a cordless 18/20volt drill or impact driver drill.

Bought my harborfreght grinder for $20 nearly 20 years ago. Bought another one for $10. Both still works fine. HF tools are not for pros, but for DIY'ers it's great.

Others have mentions this, but I think the one tool I would have put in this list, behind only the impact drill, is a cordless oscillating multi-tool. I use mine for absolutely anything and find it to be an absolute life-saver. In part because it generates a lot less dust than some of the other alternatives. For example, cutting drywall with the multi-tool has to generate half the amount of dust compared to the drywall cut-out tool. Also, Paslode has a cordless framing nailer that I think is the most fun tool I own. Not necessary and shouldn’t be on anyone’s top 6, but it just makes me feel like a kid :-))

You left out the oscillating multi tool!! I don’t know what I ever did without one! Great video

A shop vac is super useful to have!

I just bought my first house and it's a total fixer upper. These videos are saving my ass. Thanks bro!

My grandfather (this was back in the late 40's early 50'd) would make my various toys, like a wheelbarrow, wagon, and trucks with just basic hand tools. I don't believe he had any electric tools. He was a harness maker and an artist his house had murals on all the walls that he painted. The man sure had talent.

I was a helper for a welding company in the Wash DC area for a year. Some of the most skilled guys in the area. First thing everyone did when they got a new angle grinder- can the guard. They only used hilti’s and makita’s. If you know how to use the tool, and how it will react in certain situations, it’s mind-blowingly useful. If you don’t, it’s literally the most dangerous power tool you could own.

Great list. The drill/driver is my go-to tool, especially now that you can get augur bits that make planting in the garden easier than ever.

As a new hike home owner, I have peace of mind when I found Jeff’s channel. Thank you very much.

Great video, as usual! My DeWalt impact driver has got to be my favorite thing, ever. It has taken so much abuse, and yet it never fails. I have it nearby at all times. Second is the grinder, I have a diamond blade, will tackle about just about anything. Thanks for all the videos, Jeff, love your channel!

Wow, I just learned a lot about some tools I already have

I do agree, though I would include a random orbit sander as well.

Good on ya Jeff. When someone with 30-odd years of experience gives advice on his tools of trade, smart people listen! Thank you.

Jeff is absolutely right about the mitre saws, a sliding saw is way more than the average homeowner needs. But as a professional carpenter, I wouldn’t buy one that doesn’t slide… Also, grinders, buy a couple. They’re so cheap nowadays, and they’re so versatile, I keep mine loaded up with discs and wheels for every occasion, even at home.

I've just recently redone my deck, changing it from a rotting 10x12 to a beautiful floating 15.5x15.5 deck because of your videos.

Brad nailer and skil saw are on my next purchase list. I run everything on 18v so no compressor needed

Highly recommend California Air Compressors. Just slightly more expensive than the cheap pancake air compressors but MUCH quieter. 45 dB! You can have a normal conversation right next to your compressor rather than wearing ear plugs or setting it outside and running a 50' hose through a window. I upgraded from a porter cable pancake compressor I had for 10 years and never looked back. Black Friday is the time to stock up on tools that will last a lifetime!

Did one of our bathrooms with a skill saw, impact driver, compressor with nailer and an Apollo pex crimper plus a few hand tools for electrical and plumbing. Saved a boat load doing it myself.

Great video Jeff. I started with only the most basic tools. With a little work and luck I was able to upgrade with good used tools. I only buy them if they are still in great working condition. Got a Dewalt miter saw for $60, sawzall for $15, grinder for $30, and compressor for $40. Bought Bosch drill/driver set and circ. saw new. None of them have ever failed me.

I agree with a your recommendations but there have been times where I wish I would have had a sliding compound miter versus a standard one. It's certainly worth a couple hundred bucks during those times where you wish you had one. Another great tool I use all the time, which wasn't mentioned is a wet/dry shop vac. That tool gets used almost every job that I do. I love that thing.

Thanks Jeff! Watching your videos helped me lay the laminate flooring in my bathroom

“I’m a safety second production first guy” 😂😂😂😂 I LOVE the way you keep it real!!! 👍

I’ve been watching your videos and have learned so much, I thought I was pretty handy already but I got some new tricks up my sleeve now, so much easier and faster, went to sherwin Wiliams and bought some new mud knives and paint brush and adjustable paint stick and roller, I’m a water Plant mechanic/janitor but have some background in residential and commercial construction, concrete and an all-around handyman, thanks

I like how long you are able to keep your tools. Several years and they still work!

From my perspective as a home owner renovating my 120 year old timber home over the last 5 years ( bit a by bit) and starting with just a drill and multi-tool, I would say that if money and space is at a premium and you are just a homeowner who needs to get stuff done at the best price/benefit ratio: get the oscillating multi-tool and impact driver. From my experience of trialling all kinds of tools: 1. Ditch the compressor. Nowadays just about every tool that used to rely on compressors now has a battery version. I do not have space for a compressor to store at home and even less to drag around the house to do stuff. 2. Oscillating multi-tool: a life saver. It can do just about anything if necessary. A must have in any tool box. 3. A track saw: safer than a skilsaw and can do just about everything the skilsaw and drop saw can do. 4. Never had a grinder because the oscillating multitool does everything the the grinder does. 5. I have the demolition saw but never really used it because the multi-tool can do what the demolition saw does with much less mess. 6. Impact driver: yes. Now I'm just dreaming of a compound sliding drop saw because I just love new tools

Nice video. How about supporting equipment that is also essential? 1) Hearing protection 2) Eye protection 3) Gloves 4) Bubble or digital level 5) Speed square 6) Vacuum 7) Ladder

One of the best youtube videos I've seen in a long time. This is invaluable.

My honorable mention would be a battery multi-tool... I bought my first home and that, next to my drill is what I ALWAYS grab.. cutting PVC, nails, drywall, wood, flooring, sheet metal.... For small little holes or jobs it's perfect. Easy to use and fits in most smaller spots.

I'm remodeling my 2400 sq Ft. Wood constructed home . I'm real handy on my application skills but watch Jeff and pick up some helpful and handy tricks of the trade . I like his personality and the way he simplifies his knowledge. GOOD JOB MAN!!!

Great info, Jeff. I love your videos. You do a great job of explaining and showing things. I would definitely add the oscillating multi-tool to the list. I use it everywhere now in hard to reach areas that a reciprocating saw or small circular saw can't get to, cutting off bottom of jambs, drywall, etc.

Jeff, I just wanted to thank you for giving me the confidence to open up walls when I accidentally drilled through and hit a wireline. This channel is priceless.

I would add these items to your great list: - good 10 gauge extension cable (yes it’s heavy, and it’s pain in the back to carry, but it’s better than fried extension cords or running your tools underpowered) - good crowbar/pry-bar - good hammer (a claw hammer will do fine) - good level (preferably in 2ft and 4ft) - good multi tool/ oscillating tool - good speed square - good tape measure (don’t get no magnetic crap, but do get auto lock) - good fine point markers ( Milwaukee Inkzall are really really good markers, produces a vibrant line on any surface) - good magnetic bit set (be it torx or philips safe yourself the headache of dropping screws and get them in magnetic) - good side cutters - good pliers - good caulk gun - good step ladder - good utility knife - good spade bits set - good screwdrivers (at least get a flat/minus as most receptacle and light switch covers/ plates have minus screws, and you don’t want to bust them with your powerful impact driver ) - good set of adjustable wrenches - good socket set ( putting lags bolts or doing automotive, you got to have a good deep socket set) Everything else is job specific Like: for electric - good multimeter (doesn’t have to be expensive, but don’t expect harbor freight to be great) - good wire strippers - good receptacle tester - good voltage detector/tester (use it to double check that the outlet or the switch or the wire has no power, after you turned off the breaker, and before you start working on it) - good electrical tape (please don’t get liquid tape it’s crap) for plumbing - good blow torch (if you’re gonna work with copper) - good pvc/cpvc pipe cutter (if you’re gonna do cpvc or pvc) - good tube cutter ( if your gonna work with copper) - good pipe wrench (preferably universal/adjustable) for walls (framing and insulation) - good jab saw - good framing gun (don’t cheap out, invest into one good framing gun as you can later use it to do osb for floor and exterior walls, wood siding, and etc.. that one gun, very versatile tool) - good stapler ( get a pt50 by arrow, best $40 you will spend, yes you can get a regular staple gun for $20 or a hammer tracker for $30, but at the end of the day your hands will thank you for spending that extra $10-20 ) for trim - good finish nailer (16-gauge will do the trick)

Thank you, we continue to share your channel with friends and family. Hope all is well.

You are right, those tools can do many jobs, I know I've done over 3000 home renovations. GOOD LUCK Tony

That’s a good list of tools. I don’t have the compressor in my top 6 but it would make my top 10, mostly because the compressor is only half of the tool (need those attachments). But to complete my top 10 here are the missing 4 - oscillating tool - router - jigsaw - 3-beam laser level. And to get to 12 tools we add - cordless framing nailer - cordless brad nailer All of my tools are cordless. Dewalt has a neat 2.5gal battery operated compressor too. It’s easy to recharge batteries to/from job sites or a trip to town right in your car.

When ever I start a home project I go and buy my self a tool. If you have the right tools you can build anything and watching his guy helps a lot.

By the way be sure to drain the water out of your reservoir regularly. The reservoir has a boggle seam in it and the water can cause corrosion to form. If the corrosion goes to far the tank will implode. People don't think that there is water in the air and when you compress it, the water condenses.

@bstrickler

Yeah. My palm nailer was a saving grace when adding some blockers for my subfloor. Far less air used than a framing nailer per nail, and just about as fast.

Another tool I’d add is a cordless jigsaw. I worked for years without one but now that I have one I use it way more than I ever thought I would. An oscillating multi tool is another very versatile tool that I use all the time.

Great presentation. My only knock would be with the impact driver and doing tires. You might get one lug nut off a Honda Civic if you are using a short probably chrome socket. If your doing serious automotive work, especially tires, get a 1/2” impact wrench.

Great advice on essential tools! The best investment ever made for me was a cordless Milwaukee Sawzall, purchased in the early 90's !! It is still going strong some 25+ years later, will a 'new' battery. Oh, and don't forget a high quality Fiberglass Stepladder... They are non-conductive and not subject to hidden flaws as a wood ladder. (will not mention my all time favorite brand, but it starts with a W...)

So glad I've found your channel a few years ago. Definitely always informative, and REAL!! no fluff thank you so much

I made the mistake when I bought my first investment home by going with a 10 in miter saw just cause I needed something right then and there to do rough cuts with. I really wish I had bought the 12 in as shown in Jeff’s video because the biggest cuts u can do with a 10 in blade r 2x4 and 4x4. U can forget about 2x6 and if u have a sliding 12 likely can do 2x8. Point being spend the extra 50 bucks and go with the 12 in u won’t regret it.

I have 5 of those tools and so far I've done all my projects.

I agree with most except the grinder. I just get different blades for my circular saw, works well enough. When i saw the title of your video i thought of when craftsmen would build a sturdy house, to last, with basically just hand tools.

Agreed. The average DIYer doesn't always need a top of the line tool. I've been searching and purchasing some highly rater bargain tools online. I just received my slow speed spade handle drill in the mail today for $60, rather than paying $150 to $180 USD for a name brand. This will be used to mix drywall mud, self leveling compound, and perhaps concrete sometime down the road. I won't give away the name, but if you search for it at Amazon or Home Depot, it will show up in the search results. I haven't truly tested it yet other than plug it in and give it a dry run, but the online reviews are mostly positive. I also bought a highly rated budget friendly laser level and tripod on Amazon. They won't arrive until later this week, but again, me being a DIYer, I plan on starting out with "cheap" for my home renovation. However, if I ever progress into bigger projects or house flipping, then I will make a natural progression into buying some higher quality "contractor grade" versions of these tools, but for now, I'm looking for functional without breaking the bank. As for a miter saw, my plan for now is to either use my circular saw, or borrow one from my friend.

Perfect timing again. Thank you.

I'm sure there's hundreds of comments about grinders. You can get away without a grinder guard, but make sure that the blade is not spinning in your direction. Also make sure that the disc is rated for the rotational speed of the grinder e.g. using a 6000 speed disc on a 10,000 speed grinder is asking for a deadly explosion. But the absolute safest way is do all the above, but still with a guard. Nothing is foolproof.

95,000 views and fewer than 4k likes? Show some appreciation, people. Another priceless video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers.

Great video. I was just waiting for the jigsaw to appear. It didn't, and you just made me reconsider my next purchase. Maybe I'll have more diy possibilities with a circular saw.

“Every home owner needs a chop saw.” Well, can’t argue with that! Off to Home Depot I go! 😁

You forgot the shopvac! From sucking up sawdust to drywall dust, to wasps and bees, to emptying the garage drain or spilled coffee. Turn the tube around and it becomes a leaf blower, car dryer, pool return pipe emptyer etc, etc etcccc😁

Love my angle grinder. But that is the one tool I ALWAYS wear eye protection! Little chips of metal or tile fly everywhere. Most used tool by far is cordless drill.

Also, HIT PAWN SHOPS for the tools! The tools can be had for good prices. I picked up an M12 drill, impact, charger, and 2 batteries for $80. Far less than what you'd spend new. And they're still working amazing, 3ish years later. Thousands upon thousands of screws and holes made with them.

Another awesome video Jeff! I am getting ready to build a deck so this really helps.

Glad to hear it! Cheers Hermon!

Three bathroom renovations and I have absolutely no regrets for what I spent on tools for both my son's (CA) house and my daughters (WY). It was money well spent. I have purchased more of the Rigid (Emerson Electric Brand) than you. I love them. Tools are fair investments in the future. They are money makers. Additionally you get the pride and satisfaction that come with doing it yourself.

That is awesome! Gotta love a good tool!

Very helpful video Jeff!. I love the palm nailer. I am looking forward to purchasing a compressor and install my hardwoods upstairs! I love you man, you are golden!

Glad it was helpful!

"except mix concrete" haha! that was funny. This video is super informative!

Do you have any thoughts, Sir, on the merits of an oscillating multi tool for cutting, vs. the grinder? Usually when I think of a do-all cutting tool, I think of the former, rather than the latter. It all depends on what you're working on, of course, but for cutting wood (not metal), the multi tool seems to generally fit the bill for me.

Thanks Jeff, very surprised a good sds drill wasn't mentioned. Made me feel I've made the right investments as a DIY enthusiast as I own all but the compressor

Glad of the chop saw advice, thanks. I have done all my stuff without a compressor and if I was going back 2 years, yes I would have bought this instead of the paint sprayer that I actually bought. I bought the Ryobi 18-Volt ONE+ Lithium-Ion Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit with (2) Batteries, Charger, and Bag in one of the sales you mentioned and saved big. It's now $300. It has been a fantastic investment for me, single mum in Denver area where any help is a crazy cost and there are loads of naff workmen!! Clearly I'm a beast anyways hahaha. I've ended up buying a battery brad nailer to finish up and a jig saw for the kitchen. Even so, it was less than buying the bigger Ryobi kit. My only comment about that kit is that the 5.5" circular saw is a pain in the neck to get blades for and it isn't great for outdoor jobs. Harbor Freight has filled in with cheap tools to mix mortar, cheap blades and I'll probably get a circular saw from there when doing the outdoor stuff. Thanks Jeff

I like all the tool . I use those tools every day in my projects. 👍

Hopefully closing on my first house in early July. Definitely going to shop the father's day sales this year

And other “ tool events” 👍😅

Wonderful Jeff, I have too many tools and I’m a what they call somebody in their a “ senior” . I’m now following your membership and evaluating what parts of this hundred plus year old house

I think you should add a 7th need to have tool. The multi tool is now my favorite. I agree with all of your tools, but the saws-all could even be replaced by the multi tool, but larger cut jobs will need the big dog. Very versatile.

Nice demonstration...love dewalt but when I tried Hilti I followed in love with....try it and you will be very surprised

I bought all these tools but I have a couple more like brad nailer and oscillating saw. I did my whole basement with those 8 tools :)

Love your fun and gun style. I just pig things together and it all seems to work out

My theory throughout the years is, every major job deserves a new tool purchase. Glad to say all these tools have been in my shop for many years and I get more joy than most people understand when I need the tool and have it available. It keeps the job going efficiently, and not screwing around with a MacGyver type of solution. These days I live in the country, away from the convenience of a store around the corner so having the right tools and knowing how and when to use them pays off. Other theory, "I can't afford to buy cheap crap". stick to good name brand tools, they will last for may years or a lifetime.

Thank you for sharing what basic tools is good for us!

If you skip the 12 inch blade on the mitre saw, you can buy a similar priced sliding saw with a smaller blade. You can still cut big pieces since it slides but 7 - 1/4 and 10 inch blades are much cheaper than 12 inch

So glad I found this channel! I was thinking of buying the Ryobi 6-tool kit cordless set since its on special for $199 but some of those tools i do not need and after seeing this video, it lacks a grinder! I was looking more towards the multi-tool but looks like a grinder might be more useful, since what I wanted was to cut some things. Just save some cash and really getting the tools i need after watching this vid! Thank you!

I just wanted to say I love your channel. This is the only channel I follow. Your advice and get great tips for doing things. Thanks.

A grinder from harbor freight and a ryobi corded drill were the first real power tools I bought about 8 years ago were the first power tools I owned... Now I'm addicted, I've almost got a complete workshop in the garage.

Jeff, you have the perfect personality for doing videos. I'm amazed at how you roll I don't think you a spring chicken as my mama would say but dang it you just don't stop man. God has certainly blessed you with good health. Keep on Truckin' !!!! And I'll keep on watchin'
