I'm 73 years old and just now getting into DIY projects. Your video was extremely helpful to me as I am trying to set up my small workshop, starting with the "most essential" tools. Since I have a multimeter, I can do without the voltage detector, but I consider the safety glasses to be a top priority. I honestly hadn't considered the jigsaw to be a top contender, but after seeing your video that's what I'll be shooting for first. Thanks very much!
The impact driver would be nice to have. I would add an adjustable wrench and a pipe wrench to your list. Enjoy your videos.
The much maligned jigsaw was probably the first tool for most of us. There’s nothing worse than cheap screwdrivers when the tips bend and chip with the slightest pressure. Never buy cheap with drill bits, I like Milwaukee bits, their forstner bits and hole saws are excellent though quite expensive. I agree about proper voltage detectors, those screwdrivers with a bulb are often dangerous. However, I think a decent set of wood chisels would be more useful and I’d leave electrical stuff to experts as a beginner. I was waiting for the all important organised storage. My workshop is only about the same size as your blue tool chest so organisation is important.
I have disabilities and can only do small projects, but I have a little 2.5hp 24 litre compressor which I couldn’t live without. I use my die grinders, 3” cut off wheel and cheap paint guns all the time. But maybe that could come in the intermediate top ten tools along with a MIG/stick/flux welder.
Why you not doing videos I find your videos very liberating and fulfilling I enjoy them I am trying to do things myself around my home and I have watched a lot of diy projects you are very helpful you take your time explaining and your clarity it’s refreshing thank you
The drill bits is very useful. I think a torque wrench is useful to ensure that you tighten bolts to the correct torque.
Very good video tools were well explained on why they are important to have... im working on building a tool set i dont have the impact driver drill bits yet or the jig saw but with the info you have given i now have more info to go on when i go to get this thank you again for the video
Thank you for the advice
Definitely the jig saw!!! Just bought a home in Utah and am going to be doing a lot of work on it over the summer, jig saw seems like something I will be using a lot.
Utah rocks! Hope all go's well with the new house!
👍
impacts are so useful
Just getting started, super helpful thanks!
I would replace the jigsaw with a multi tool. Everything else is spot on!
hi Bri, the impact driver would be nice to have , I've got a lot of sore knuckles using wrenches all the time.
12v 1/4 impact driver!
I use combination wrenches quite often, maybe less if I had small impact!
Are those akro mils parts organizer @ we sec. how do you like them? Maybe review?
Those are 3/8 not 3/4 sockets
I would need the tool bag the most. Great foe organizing my tools.
The impact/drill driver from Milwaukee is my most needed tool atm!
I'd choose the jig saw. Very useful. Pliers too. Keep up the good work, man. =)
I’m putting together a tool kit for my son when he moves out I want him to have everything he will need to set up shop. This Christmas I gave him hand tools no sockets or wrenches yet and no power tools yet I guess next Christmas. Thanks. B,K.
Linda and Brian Kruse awesome parents! A Milwaukee drill/impact kit would make him very happy I’m sure!
I vote jig saw. Great vids!
Hello Brian, I personally swap the voltage tester for a set of combination wrenches. I feel this is a better choice for someone starting out buying tools on a budget. If you need to have some sort of tester a low cost multi meter will yield the same result and preform other functions as well . Thank you for the video look forward to the next one. Shane
Thanks
I could use an impact driver. I have a nice 20v Dewalt drill, but no impact driver to go with it.
I really need the Cordless Drill,
Tools you missed i think that is very needed is a Angle Grinder
The 18v Drill and Driver set is the most versatile and most desired. Awesome video boss... keep it up!
Rotary tool is really useful .
Great ideas, and would like to see a Milwaukee power tool giveaway. Also, I would have included a level in the top ten.
The Milwaukee drill and impact driver is a must have!
I would like the plier set please. keep up the good work
Very nice man, thanks!
There is a difference in what brand you choose depending on the job and the application ....I talk about this subject in my own video and explain for instance that if you are a professional contractor then a brand like Milwaukee...Dewalt... or Makita would be your best option as opposed to if you are a homeowner/DIYer then something like Ryobi... Black and decker... or porter cable would be a good option Based on the fact that the homeowner is not going to use his tools as often and for stuff around the house you generally don't need something to powerful or expensive for that matter
adjustable wrench or as they say in Texas Ranch.
1/2 impact should have been on there, i use mine every day, couldn't live without it
Thanks for the video Bri. Welcome back to the fray, we kinda missed ya. 🙄👍
impact driver definitely
I. Have a nice old Black & Decker jigsaw that was my uncle's model 7580 3 amp 3200 strokes a minute got a skil saw got a. DeWalt 14.4 volt hammer drill dc935ka I found one this year brand new sealed in the box couldn't refuse it had other older DeWalt drills and sold then I held on to the new one and one flashlight DW 906. I got a few tools from Ridgid compact drill gen 4. And a Gen 5 brushless impact driver 3 speed as well as a Bosch idh182 I'm good to go with those tools I might want to get myself a reciprocating saw. I have all the tools you are showing all the basics enough to get the job done in my house I got a nice socket set Craftsman I got three socket wrenches one is a sk 3/8 other is a Craftsman.... Am pro. 1/2 Klein 8 needlenose pliers regular wire cutters other Stanley back in the 80s all red handle drop forge linesman pliers old Ridgid pipe wrench couple of crescent. Slip wrenches of course I got extension cords nice orange ones and yellow plenty of good drill bits I plan on getting that Milwaukee set that they have at home Depot right now for $29. ...142 piece good value for what it comes with
An impact driver or drill would really come in handy 👍🏼
I could use an impact driver.
Would love a combo drill set.
I’m a newbie and I’m sure there’s a reason I’m wrong, but with the jigsaw v table-saw don't they have the clean edge on opposite sides of the wood? Isn’t the clean edge generally on the underside with a jigsaw and on the top with a table-saw, or did you use a jigsaw blade with the teeth facing away? Or was it because of the material you were cutting? I’m sorry if this is a stupid question and there’s something obvious to everyone else. A very useful video, thank you very much and I’ve subscribed.
I would have combined the basic tools such as the hammer, screwdrivers, utility knife, tape measure as one tool so we can get more suggestions for power tools. Great call on the jigsaw, a lot of people overlook them.
and my favorite saw for demolition would have to be the sawzall
I love the sawzall!
Jig saw will be a good giveaway. How about an adjustable wrench?
Good list for basics... I am suggesting a SCREWDRIVER SET for the giveaway... my reason for that is I have the other stuff, but I made the mistakes of buying cheap screwdrivers and my collection is garbage (cannot even call it a set!). Also want to say I appreciated your comments on the impact driver... I just recently discovered how handy that can be over a drill in some situations.
i would love to see a nice set of pliers or screwdrivers in your next giveaway. thanks bri
Impact driver will be useful
Thanks for a jigsaw tip 😁
I would've included a voltmeter. This is an essential tool for checking voltage, resistance, amperes and continuity among other things. I understand the immediate use and quick ease of use for the volt-tester, but the voltmeter is a better alternative when doing electrical work on any handyman or diy projects.
My top 10 has a square. My vote for the give away tool is the Jig Saw. Thanks
Why would you use a jigsaw to cut carpet?
Tape measure, east to read and always need several all around the house.
Impact driver is 10x more versatile than a drill. Just my opinion.
Drill set
Hammer and tape measure. The utility knife it's optional
impact driver!
deffently could use a drill . I would swap the voltage meter for a miter saw.
Jigsaw for me.
Flashlight, wrench, hammer, 11-1 screwdriver and tape measure is all I would take to do an assessment
The cordless drill would be used the most.
Yes for sure..
Drill and drilbits
Also I suggest a circular saw, miter and reciprocating saw as the three saws you will ever need.... Jig saw? Not so much a necessity... Couldn't imagine cutting everything with a jig
the best tool is the drill
Impact driver.
Would definitely need a jigsaw.
I've actually been looking to buy a jig saw.
a jigsaw is a good tool to giveaway
cool video
You can't do without a set of hex & tore wrenches
Jigsaw
Absolutely drill/driver
Guys don't worry about a NICE set of screwdrivers. If u don't plan on doing much it doesn't matter and saves money
Great video but I think I must have a miter saw.
I'm voting for a screwdriver set.
Thanks!
I would have to say you forgot a level... for door jams, tv mounts, shelving etc...
Please can I get one.a vice is the most important
Hi bro it's Nick sweet CZcams channel!
+Nicholas Bassett Thanks Bro! Nice to see you on here!
Socket set. You can never have to many sockets
need a new drill
A swiss army knife
safety glasses should have been in the list. don't know what you could take off the list because all those items are so essential
could have saved the coffee cup , think we all know what a hammer is and that it will break it. lol
Jigsaw I got a circular slope no jigsaw
um thats not 3/4 drive thats 3/8 drive
I disagree about the drill over the impact driver... Impact driver is far more versatile than drill and can do everything driver can do and many more tasks than drill... I own the Milwaukee fuel drill and impact and basically never reach for my fuel drill.. It's always the impact for construction and automotive work.. I would take the impact over drill any day
God damnit....i got tricked again, thinking you were a hot chick named "Bree"...please change your click baity name to "DIY Kevin". lol. This was an awesome list, I would add a flashlight of some kind and a Leatherman multi-tool. Thanks for this cool video man
can't have too many tool carriers
jigsaw
someone has OCD !
Very useful video.
Few tips for better video
1. You see the space between the top of your head and where the frame ends? That is called headroom. You have too much space there and as a result you look like a midget in the video. Generally speaking you want to leave about half an inch space between the top of your head and where the frame ends. Also step closer to the camera, there is too much dead space (or negative space as they call it) on the sides. Just look up "headroom" and "the rule of thirds".
2. The 2nd camera you used from the angle/side video, completely pointless. I know - from experience - that it looks really cool and "professional" to have an angle camera and you probably were super excited about it when editing. But in reality that serves no purpose. If you have used the 2nd camera to zoom in on the tools it would have been a much better and more professional looking video.
3. This video is really long... Like REALLY long. Videos of this kind should be between 7 to 9 minutes tops.
4. You can turn down the music in the back ground just a tiny tiny tiny bit more. Just a touch.
Couple of examples:
- Your whole introduction took one minute and 40 seconds of talking. It should be like 10 seconds: Hello, my name is ______ welcome to my channel _______ and in this video we gonna talk about top 10 tools for DIY projects. Enjoy! (intro video with music starts here).
- Explaining that these are basic tools that will make your life easier with anything related to DIY projects (another 10 seconds).
- You don't have to go on and on and on about how wonderful the jigsaw is, or compare it to table saw etc. just keep it simple: THE JIGSAW!!!! a must have for bla bla bla... You can cut straight and curvy lines with it, and variety of materials with dedicated saws... And what a WONDERFUL tool it is. And you move on to the next tool and keep the same general idea.
And you can always make a dedicated 9 minute long video about how wonderful the jigsaw is.
Other than that, great video. The video and sound quality are both really great!
You speak very clearly and I didn't have any problem understanding what you are saying.
Good job!
P.S: I wasn't aiming for coming across as a complete asshole. I just like being direct.
+Rayan A Thank you for the detailed information, all very good points! I will keep your suggestions for upcoming videos!
