I've noticed a shift in my interest towards Hueguh's recent content.
A lot of his recent videos (even Instagram posts) seem to be sponsored, that's perfectly fine - who wouldn't appreciate a nice paycheck for a sponsorship?
His sleek, minimalist style edits in these projects are commendable.

While I understand there's a limit to the number of "minimalist wardrobe" or "my watch/EDC collection" videos one can make, I'm eager for some relatable content in the future!

Does anyone else feel the same way?
Initially, what drew me to Hueguh's channel were his minimalistic videos, simple wardrobe choices, and other non-sponsored content.

I would like to say, the bits and sockets in the tool check are not impact rated. Which means you are not supposed to use them with an impact driver or a drill at high speed. That being said you will probably be fine using for diy home stuff. But if you are really going to be putting your drill to work then go buy Milwaukee impact bits. You will be much happier and won’t ruin your nice Wera bits.

I would also recommend a Milwaukee fastback compact utility knife! It’s one of the best utility knives you can find and is only like $9!

If you want a little more versatile I would a Knipex Cobra pliers. They are similar to the pliers wrench shown. Cobras are for round pipe, pliers wrench are for hex nuts or anything flat. You only need this if you’re doing any plumbing or anything like that. But they are the best “channel locks” you can buy hands down

Throw in an oscillating multi-tool. For cutting and finish sanding.

When putting together Ikea furniture most of the time you should use Posidriv bits/screwdrivers not Phillips. Posidriv bits (PZ) are the gold ones on your Tool Check Plus or green on your PB Swiss.

My minimalist tool kit is: drill, level, light(a headlamp will do), wrench(es), duct tape, stud finder, hammer(straw claw for prying), extension cord, carpenter square, a cutting tool like a Japanese saw, glue, assorted nails and screws, clamps/vise (4-6 inches), measuring tape, filer, utility knife, lubricant oil, step stool, scissors, screwdrivers, plunger, combination square, pliers(small, large, channel lock), allen wrenches, safety goggles, work gloves, mask, chisel, tin snips, punch tool, and a 5 gallon tool box. Add whatever else if you need it.

wow, PB Swiss hex key set... I use hex keys every day for a living and haven't found a justification to spend that much on a hex key set.

As a tradesperson I must say this video did hightlight some of the most versatile & high end tools for the average person. Maybe a little too expensive for most people, but these will last a lifetime

[commentsonthetube]

I've got most of these tools and they're excellent recommendations. Great video!

[rthankia]

Excellent video, a great showcase of high-quality tools that are going to last a life time.

Great video but keep in mind that magnetic stud finders find where the drywall hangers put their screws, not where the center of a stud is. For pictures this may be okay but if hanging something heavy, like a tv or shelving, use a good quality one like the Franklin Prosensor. I like the M210 but the T6 is smaller and will fit in your bag as well.

You will definitely need a caulking gun at some point. The cheap ones suck, it's definitely worth getting something like the $20 Tajima Ultralight. Also a utility knife, the Olfa LA-X is the best I've ever used.

Awesome kit you put together there, it's all quality and a once-in-a-lifetime buy for the most part. Perfect basic kit.

[iangregoryhome]

Nice tools, especially the PB Swiss stuff 👍

[GmGrayfox]

It’s funny how you went from a bag of little hand tools to buying Festool. Quite a jump there.

[WhiteVaille]

I was thinking someone must have gotten a sponsorship from KC Tools, but I see now that a lot of these tools can be had from Home Depot, too. Neat!

[tormentthatinspires]

For attaching anything to a hard concrete wall, you basically need a hammer drill. For bed frames, a bigger ratchet. And so forth.

The one tool I use every day is a small electric screwdriver. A pistol shape. So that's what I would start with.

[PedjolinoMarkovic]

Even replace ENTIRE sink with only one Knipex wrench! WOW! :)))

[SuperTallMidget]

Ikea uses Pozidrive screws, not Philips. I cursed a lot of Ikea hardware until I started using the right bit, no more stripped Ikea hardware now. You can tell if its Pozidrive or Philips by the notches/slits on the screw head.
