What Should You Carry In Your TOOL BELT?! (These Are The Best Tools For Carpentry / Construction!!)
Many people have asked me to do a video about what tools I carry in my tool belt. So, here it is! These are the tools I've deemed important enough to carry with me at all times (mostly) in my tool belt. They're worth the weight and space to lug around.
And, since I've worked as a sort over generalized carpenter over the years (trim, framing, repair), I think these tools are a really good all-purpose collection for getting a LOT of work done!
What's In My Tool Belt:
25' Tape Measure
16 oz. Rip Claw Hammer
5-in-1 Painter's Tool
6-in-1 Screwdriver
Pliers
15-in-1 Screwdriver
Sharpie
Small Trim Pry Bar
Demolition Screwdriver
Two Chisels
Torpedo Level
Ear Protection
Two Nail Sets
Needle Nose Pliers
Nippers
6" Combo Square
Speed Square
Cat's Paw Nail Puller
Chalk Box
Eye Protection
Two Pencils
I really do think that these are the best tools for carpentry and residential construction! Each one comes in handy many, many times throughout a construction work week, and therefore I think that it's worth it to carry many or all of these tools in your tool belt. I hope this list helps!
Thanks for watching!

Yeah like how my facial nails get from one pocket to being mixed in my siding nails every day. Every time I reach in my bag wich is every few seconds I'm throwing out trim nails.
I'm right handed but I like my tape measure on my left , to pick it up with my left hand and through out the end of it fast and accurately to the end of the object I'm measuring.

Yup. My belt has the tape measure holder in the back, but you rotate it 180° and it's in the front. It works
The main thing I see absent in your tool belt is the large flat bar. On your last video I said I put mine in the loop of my left bag, where the belt goes. This is the thing, for all you wondering what to put in your bag. What ever you use the most and need all the time is what you tote. You'll figure that out soon enough. My carpentry days are almost over but I'll tell anyone this, I would not trade what I have learned for any job or any amount of money in the whole world. When you can build and fix your own stuff, nothing compares.
I use all of these tools. I like a fluorescent green utility knife so I can find it in the dark. I used to use those earplugs, but they gave me a nasty ear infection, that cost me some hearing. Ironic. I now use big, over the ear ones. They won't make me go deaf.
I usually have two different tool belts, one small one with less tools for finish work, and a framing setup for everything else

Yes a belt is everything on carpentry and demo work. I agree. The big mistake was that I overloaded it. Now I just carry what I need to get the job done because those things get heavy over time. Great video. I love the look of your show. Came a long way from when you first moved in.

When I was installing stained cabinets at a housing development I used to remove my bags to protect my work. My foreman almost fired me because he said I didn't look professional enough while installing the cabinets. I tried to be logical about the issue but he stood his ground. So I started wearing my bags and he checked on me everyday for a month to make sure I was following his orders. He never noticed the bags where completely empty........ Construction can be fun and stupid sometimes.

I kinda fell in to a carpenter belt, I need to set it up for weekend projects! My go to belt is a rod buster belt! Been wearing one for oh my gosh 40 years now wow ! And I make all my leather , pouches , bolt bags, reel pad, and tape holder! Been doing leather work for 25 years, most of my co workers are sporting all my goods . Soon as the carpenters find out it’s me making the leather bags they always hit me up for stuff! It’s a pretty good feeling!! Thanks

Yes I would never work without a cats paw. The Estwing paw is the BEST. AS of my last purchase, they were made in Japan, & still a good tool.
Never heard anyone call it a chalk line a chalk box before , and “ Pop” lines we call it a chalk line and we snap lines where I’m from. Cool to hear the different terminology in different places .
I like using the cat's paw with the flat trim head opposite the nail head. Pretty much accomplishes the flat trim bar function and cat's paw function in one tool. Of course, it's not quite a thin as the trim bar. All this other stuff is good. I do favor the classic Estwing hammers tho, and I am kinda snobbish about that. Lol. I also like lineman pliers, instead of needle nose or slip-lock pliers.
Great video. I really need to spend the money on that rig. I've had a nice padded Occidental belt for 25+ years with cheap bags and suspenders. That looks like the ideal set up for all around carpenters like us. UPDATE: I hinted to my wife what a nice set up the Occidental is. Santa gave me a beautiful rig. Full framer with the suspension. Now after 28+ years using a hodgepodge of different bags and belts, I finally have the Cadillac! Life is good. I told my wife that she overspent on me. She quickly replied, "Nonsense, it's a gift that keeps on giving." She knows she can get whatever she wants built if I have the right equipment.
I as a inexperienced diy-er, truly appreciate this type of video. Thank you Ethan.

Tuck the cats paw between your belt and side the left side bag. It’s lays horizontal on the left side, which you would be grabbing/using that tool anyways.👍🏻 #ProTip
Excellent video, Ethan. Please keep up the quality content. Happy Holidays!
Bought my first tool belt last year. Used a bucket or box before. Just finally put into a position that my diy work covers acreage rather than the kitchen or backyard. Love your tool belt and I’m sure it was a pretty penny, but well worth it. Love the custom space for the speed square. Years ago this old house showed how to make a holder from square extrusion.
I agree I always carry leaf and sawdust debris in my apron too Love your channel!
I spent years as a DIYer carting gear around in shopping baskets. Finally made the switch to a well set up belt, and so glad I did. Saved ratting around every weekend for stuff that now lives on the kit belt.
Nice and straightforward
We are definitely cut from the same cloth. Great video. It's nice to know there are other people just like you. When you do this job long enough, you just figure out what works the best.😊

Where you keep you nippers is where alot of us old schoolers store and use a dedicated cats paw with flat end the flat end is great at recessing nails you can't quite get to with the hammer or the claw end when striking, the combo paw just floats around in right hand bag, usually gets loaned to helpers. Myself I use the oxys, 1 bag set up for framing with spendys, another the oxy lights for finish work, and other bags set up just for drywall, roofing, and electrical, so no swapping tools in and out, dedicated bags and tools for each trade. Usually the hand me down tools from finish work go to drywall or roofing like tape measures etc don't have to be as accurate.

Thank you for sharing this. It was great info to have.
I have the Denali 2.0 from Diamondback. I love the hammer holster and flat bar holster..
I use a Douglas wooden, maple handle. As a younger carpenter I blew out my wrists framing during the day, and then drums in a band at night. It really helped absorb the shock.
I love videos which make you think about what you’re doing and this is one of those. Entertaining and informative. Could I add a couple of stubby screwdrivers to your tool belt. I’ve found them so useful for kitchen fitting where the space is really tight. And maybe the Bahco mini ratchet where there doesn’t seem to be any space at all.
Great, I'm watching you from Romania, beautiful video!
Wore a tool belt four years Mine was never that organized but had a lot of the same tools. This was like a walk in the past tks
I also have two nail sets, but one of them is a door hinge bolt. I ground a chamfer on the end and it one of my favorite tools.
As a landlord DIYer, I use a tool bag. Most my jobs don't have me moving around great distances, rather working on something at a "spot". It contains everything you listed, plus cordless drill, jewelers screwdrivers, set of Allen wrenches in both SAE and metric, scissors, glass scraper, more chisel sizes, drill bit set, larger flat prybar (in addition to catspaw), extra cordless battery, abrasive pads, 1.5" angled paintbrush, small vicegrips, larger/longer angled adjustable pliers, assorted putty knives, small roll of paper towels, trash bag, headlamp... Note nowadays your phone can replace some, like a bullet level, flashlight, measurement conversion app, "glasses" (via camera) for reading small instructions, etc. I have separate electrical toolbox and plumbing toolbox for those tasks, but the bag has all the common stuff for generic tasks.
