Our Mission-
We are passionate about creating places that bless others. We want to share our trials, lessons learned with those on a similar journey.
This channel-
We hope to inspire not with some awkward speech but more of a "shit if those two can do it..."
We will teach what we learn along the way... both with Diy and all the things going into setting up your rental. And how to keep boats, and cars running along the way.
And we hope to make you smile...we are two goof balls that crack each other up. We hope you laugh, too.

Bring it
nice job
like we dont know to start with the cheapest first. also we are watching videos to research so we are not throwing money at the boat
Don't buy any part first, test each part to find which is bad. It's called diagnosis.
Is it still on sale now?!
Nah, it was a Nov sale. Sorry
It last up to 24 hours on low. If you use high it last 4 to 4.5 med will be close to 9 hours. But on low the box says 17 but yes it will pass the 17 to 23 close to 24 hours. And it’s unscrew able. Negative is they should make the battery detachable n have higher ah (Amp hours) so it can last longer. Second the legs should be 100% way stronger. And lastly the height should be way taller min 5ft max 8ft. But for 50.00 it’s really not bad n can some what give dewalt n Milwaukee competition along with HarborFreight. If they fix those 3 problems I’m telling you hf/dewt/milwk would have to drop the price due to competition. N if ur working in a small tight area just unscrew the light from the stand and you have 2 options, hang it on to something using the hook ooooor use the magnet if you have a metal pipe or something it can magnet too.
I’ve been trying to c if I can get 1 hours of run time I’ve gotten 4 hours every time
CZcams is not for everyone
Is that what you tell yourself
Can u advise full model number?
Sure thing! K40437 is the model number.
Looked like the klien had the probes with a sheeth around it. Fairly sure you can slide it off and expose alot more of the probe.
No...they arw what we showed. There weren't any sheeth.
@@WaltaRetreats Awe too bad, I had leeds simler to those and used and hated them for at least a year before discovering I could just slide the sheeth off
Other youtube videos had 4.5 hrs on high.
I got one...barely. Thanks for watching.
@@WaltaRetreats maybe you got a bad one. File a warranty claim
It’s nice to see a toolbox. It looks like it gets used and for my DIY standpoint I wish I had have the tools you got don’t worry about the haters
Brother, keep on pushing and getting that one piece at a time.
Which setting did you use? I imagine that was 1 hour on high, not low.
I did use the high. The advertisement did not specify. There is a huge difference between 1 and 17 hour.
You get what you pay for when it comes to Chinese parts and tools. You buy cheap prices, you get cheap tools. You pay good prices, you get good tools. There's plenty of high end brands in the UK, I prefer to stick with Clarke / Halfords gear, it's good quality and does the job. Dont' always have to spend a fortune
Good to know. Thanks for watching!
For the people that are really really really bothered or what’s ver because you don’t buy expensive ass tools. They need to get the f*** off their high horse and realize the tools don’t matter and if bothers you that much you are the problem with the blue collar workforce
At this point in time, I would like to say what a dumb ass. LoL.. Don't sweat it, my friend, accidents happen, mistakes happen, people get in the hurry, it just sounds kind of funny. What a dumbass... You were just anxious to get to the water. And I completely understand that. Safety first
Shop looks good. I’m a poor guy to and you sir have a smaller shop than me and I am impressed with how you have used the space! I subbed 😊
Hey brother! I really appreciate you watching. I appreciate the encouragement.
No problem. I love seeing how people utilize small shops. I used to think "Man I want a huge shop" but now, I am getting to the point where I am not sure what I would do with a huge shop. At least with a small one, I don't have to have a car in it half of the time. @@WaltaRetreats
Very nice job using the space wisely. 💪👍🇺🇸🙏🏼 Our lord Jesus will be back.🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's the only hope we have. The only thing that is real. Thanks, brother, for watching.
NICE VIDEO ,NOT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE BUT FOR THE WHOS YOU HAVE
Hey thanks man!
You have no idea what poor is. You may not be rich but you definitely aren't poor.
NOT AT THE MOMENT. THANKS FOR WATCHING.
You never said what the problem was.
It was a brand new starter relay that was no good. thank you for watching.
You do know Milwaukee is owned by China 🇨🇳 so you support China 🇨🇳 if you buy their products
They are actually owned by TTI a Hong Kong parent company that also owns Hoover, Orek and Ryobi. They have manufactures in Mexico, Germany, China and the United States. So like any other company you buy thier products they have their hands all over the place.
@@WaltaRetreats And where is Hong Kong? China 🇨🇳 so if you buy China Milwaukee 🇨🇳 you support China 🇨🇳
@@loucifer4205 Where are the tools you use from? I would love to know an alternative.
@WaltaRetreats Dewalt, Craftsman and Porter Cable are owned by America 🇺🇸 and a lot are made in the USA 🇺🇸 . The problem is China 🇨🇳 is trying to destroy this country and so far they're doing a good job and if Trump doesn't win you can kiss this country goodbye forever because China is buying up land in Jamaica and South America and you know they will put middle station's there
Great use of space and deal hunting.
Thank ya, brother. Gotta be a good steward of what the Lord gives ya.
The answer is Makita
Definitely not Makita...if you have to do heavy duty work that would never do.
A good amount of the milwaukees are even fuel. They are a major step up
True!
Great Video nice toolbox tour Fuck haters 👍👍👍👍
Thanks brother!
You work hard. Those tools are beat up.
Yeah, every day...all day!
So what do you prefer ?
Thank you for asking. The thing I accidentally left out was my tiny pile of Matco power tools. You know as well as I do how expensive they are. Those are what I prefer. What about you?
Nice 👍 🙏🏼💪🇺🇸
Thank you sir
The MASSIVE torn paper graphic with follow-along captions is so distracting. I got about 15 seconds into the video and won't watch any more. If you're going to put in the effort to burn captions into our video, I would suggest keeping them simple text at the center bottom third of the screen.
Thanks for the feedback. that is exactly what we have been doing. Would love to see your videos.
Nice set up.......
Thanks brother!
What’s with the negative comments? Good video and keep ‘em coming. Nice toolbox tour 👍🏻
Thanks for the support!
Don’t go in deep dept to buy stuff
Agreed, brother! That's why I have been getting a little each month.
98.8 Fahrenheit! Glad you survived to use those nice tools later. Your boat sounds inviting right now.
Thank you for watching!
Great vid,dude!
Hey man! I really appreciate you watching!
Next time, put the dialogue boxes even bigger with more misspelling!
We are trying things out. Apparently, AI is not the best speller. Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent box not poor at all
Well... it's poor if you knew how I came in to it all. Very slow. What I knew is that if I paid top price I would be able to keep up with every socket and wrench. Was tired of having that size that I needed not there when I needed it.
Nothing about this is "poor man" LOL. I get what you mean though. This is buying something that is good, and then getting the next thing. I think free storage is the best, and those shelving boxes are pure gold. The cheap tool box is cool too. I prefer everything to be "the best" (not the most expensive, but the one that wins the showdowns, which is usually expensive). But there are certainly things you can cheap out on, or save on compared to the best.
Thanks brother for the input...very valuable. I am more student than teacher. There will be a follow up video on a very cool update to the garage and I would like your input on that as well.
@WaltaRetreats youtube JUST sent me an update that you commented LOL. You're welcome! Good job, and keep up the good work!
Nice job packing alot of sensible and necessary tools without a lot of stupid purchases. We all make them but the trick is to try and limit the waste of cash.
Thank ya, brother. So true, so true!
You are not poor my friend. You might not be wealthy, but you are not poor. If you have a roof over your head and a car, you are "rich" to a whole lot of folks. Wealth is relative...
So true, brother!
New sub! Enjoyed the video, hope to see more!
Welcome, and thank you Brother for the follow.
Liked the video, need to get rid of the dialog box's. Also poor man's tool collection? I'll show you a poor mans tool collection 😄 it's a some what large sufficient collection too, not much is Chinese. Mostly old usa and Japan, and some new Taiwan stuff in my box's, some of what I have and use for tools and shop equipment is literally antique. I'm always gathering more stuff as the years go on.
I have much respect for you brother.
Watched about 1 min. Those dialog boxes are annoying.
Thank you for the feedback.
A billboard placed over the tools - genius! 😂
@Death_by_Inflation Billboard very funny! Brother, we thank you for the feedback and wish you the best on your own CZcams journey.
Awesome video, great tools. Although I don't recommend buying all matco. They're stuff is mostly rebrands
Brother I respect your opinion, thank you for watching.
What with that annoying text baloon that take halve of the screen ? You think to be soooo interesting that you need that ? You're not 🙄🙄🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂
Interesting how you speak of taking advantage of a friend in one breath then say "He is Risen" in another. I don't think that is how He wants us to treat each other.
Brother...I thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was not aware of this and I missed it. Iron sharpens Iron. How would you correct this?
@@WaltaRetreats I don't have the answer for that. But I'll tell you what I would do. If I had your skill set I would find out what this friend needed. (Such as a break job on their vehicle.) Then after the work was done just don't charge them. If the welder was worth $200 more than you paid, do $200 worth of work and don't charge for it. But like I said, I don't have the answer. I really like your set up by the way.
@@jakeoutdoors9600 I'm on it. Thanks brother!
@@WaltaRetreats I didn't expect this reaction. My hat is off to you. I'm very happy to hit the like button. Good luck.....and tHanks @jakeoutdoors9600
matco doesn't make any tools,,everything they sell is just other peoples stuff rebranded with their name,,,most of it made in china
Maybe so, but the quality is fantastic!
dewalt will do the same lol
Maybe... but I'll always be a Milwaukee man.
Great video !!! Nice garage !!! I appreciate your inclusion of your "He Is Risen" Cross, in your video, along with the statement that He truly has. THANK YOU for that !!!
It is because of his mercy that I have these things but most importantly my wife.
Ain't no poor man's garage now... Small investments over long period of time... Lead to large long term gains 👍
Man, that is really well put. Thank you!
Im all for throwing stuff out or slimming down , Im trying to become a minimalist especially in my garage , and every year I go thru everything at least in my mind I inventory everything , I hate to need something and know you have it but cant find it . Its a work in progress I'm getting there , I to have a HF Icon tool box with mostly Snap-On it works for me .
The worst part is cleaning out and the next day needing that one thing I threw out.
