I'd recoment getting a Johnny and an Erik. Makes it go a lot quicker and makes the result fantastic.

Did a major renovation on my house. I used all these tools and own most of them now.

I do find it amazing that people still use framing nailers with an air hose, I moved to a paslode gas framing nail gun in 2011 and even though it was an early version of it it was a night and day difference with how much easier and simpler it was to use, also how less fatiguing it is to use, I got the chance to use a Hikoki recently and that was such a step up from the paslode, I don't think I could bare the thought of having to go back to using a air powered nail gun again!

A Circular Saw Track Guide for plywood cuts is a must.

I would also add that in my opinion, as a professional trades person; measuring is an area where you want to buy good quality, and not cheap stuff. Levels for example are not born the same, but can be vastly different from each other.

"Bakers" scaffolding is damn handy. Also highly recommend the levelling legs and the unit with the hatch in the platform. The legs make the scaffolding useful for the uneven outside ground, and the hatch is absolutely necessary If you set up the scaffolding with an offset or in a tight space.

Good overview of the main tools and what they do. I've got most of them except nailers and lasers.

[TheBlackAether]

Awesome video. I learned a few new tools

That chalk line box can also be used as a plumb bob for verticals.

[miketomlin]

Fully stocked toolbelt is a must! Straight blade for flat pencils but they offer a sharpener with 1/4 drive for round pencils! Never needed a hand saw for anything unless it was specified hand tools only!

[forgotmylogininfo]

I understand your point on the circular saws, but sometimes being able to see the blade better is a big plus

[SpencleyDesignCo]

Awesome video, Johnny and Erik! Thanks guys!

I will be 80 in a few days. We're building a "tiny home" with my daughter. I have been in construction for most of my life. Power nailers & other tools are essential for professionals, but even one time builders can justify many. I bought a special nailer just for metal fasteners like joist hangers & hurricane straps that more than paid for itself in just this one project. Not only faster, but safer & more accurate. Also fall restraints well worth cost when you don't have to be exposed to mortal danger & can feel more "comfortable" in otherwise dangerous situations.

[T.E.P..]

this is a delight of a vid. Great job guys.

[jordanholmes]

I’ve been slowly adding tools as projects come up. I think I’m about 2/3 of the way there.

Also, shop vac. Get yourself a good shop vac.

I’m a left handed saw as a right handed guy, makes it easy to see your line when ripping, also the main base is supported on the main body of material when ripping and having to walk along the material such as an 8ft sheet and still being able to see your line and not having to over extend your reach.

[nicko]

Dust pan & brush and a push broom are essential keeping a site/project clean makes every other trades lives easier not tripping or breathing in dust, it will also keep the clients happy seeing a well organised clean site.

Nice video, cheered up a very stormy wet afternoon!

Metal hardware nailers are excellent for joist hangers, strap ties, post caps,  metal framing hardware and more. Building in California I had to buy a stupid amount of Simpson strong Tie hardware. I wish I bought the nailer sooner.

Retired builder. You guys nailed it. The only thing you didn't say was about carrying multiple of the tools and levels in case one breaks . Measuring tape I always carried 3 25 ft. Because someone was going to break their tape . We wouldn't stop so they could replace it.. . Retired about 13 years ago would not count on batteries always corded plus a generator. Good to hear that your getting away from it, lol you all missed the fun of running a 100 lbs of nails by hand in a day. Wow could we slam nails, I carried my first framing gun every where even took it out to dinner a few times. Was that a nice change.
