What's in my Tool Trailer for 2019 Building Season

I always get questions about tools....what brand is the best, what drill is the best, and a million other questions. I figured a video about what's in my tool trailer for the 2019 building season was a good way to address it. However I didn't want to make it about the brands themselves. My Goal is to help people make informed decisions. I am extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to try so many different brands and models without any real requirement to use them. Even when a free circular saw is sent to me, I don't have to use it, but I am able to, and from there decide if it's worth keeping in the trailer.

In the END, my post frame business is where my priorities lie, and being the best, most efficient builder is always my goal. So hopefully you continue to watch Toolsday as I am sure in 2019 there will be some awesome additions to the Tool Trailer.

If curious, or looking, I will link my current favorite tools for starting a business in 2019 below. Please leave me a comment if this helped you and share with a friend that might enjoy the video.

It is very refreshing to see someone actually, " PAY IT FORWARD". I AM NOT A CONTRACTOR AND ONLY A HOBBY CARPENTER. But I am an amateur musician. I play the Native American flute, and fully 1/4 of, my flutes were gifted to me by someone who thought I needed a new flute. One such flute was gifted to me when I was about halfway through treatment for stage 4a throat cancer in 2015. I am happy to say that at this time I am nearly 4 years clear of cancer. have been playing flutes now for nearly 19 years, and now I am starting to, pay it forward by gifting flutes to those special people that I feel will benefit from them.

Watching your videos after a long day of work makes me want to get back to the job ASAP I appreciate the motivation we all need it keep up the great work

[cody]

Those are the footsteps i would follow. . Right there is the perfect example of how hard work pays off.

Kyle I love your content, I’ve watched all of your build series, they are awesome. I appreciate the knowledge soo much. I’m 26, I’m in my 3rd year as a general contractor in the trades, we started out doing kitchens and baths for the first year, but have found our way and our nitch doing sweet custom deck builds. Sound Services & Construction LLC out of Bothell, WA, a suburb north of Seattle. Just wanted to let you know I’m watching, and your helping me grow. Started out with a 4Runner, packing tools into the trunk, now I’ve got a old beater ford van and a 6x12 single axel tool trailer that I tug around and drop at my job sites. I had to say something after you mentioned your VW, the struggle is real and hard work pays off. Your builds are freaking cool man!

It appears that you have multiples of essential tools for your trade. You could either; add a backup trailer as insurance against disaster, add another crew, or expand your brand to another location. Lot's of possibilities since RR-Buildings has such a worldwide following and a deserved reputation of quality service.

Your story of all your tools in your car reminds me of my brother. Hard working guy and just working hard to make a go of it. I don't always have the means but when I get a new tool I always pass my old one off to him. I think it is cool that you not only give back to the community with the valuable knowledge you share but also are looking to give material goods as well. This video (like most the others I have watched of yours) is great. Thanks for the work you put into your content.

[TheTsunamijuan]

I love your message at the end about how you can't have them all to begin with when your starting out. That you should grow your collection over time and that is sense able financially too. Keep up the good work, and stay safe out there as the work load increases during the summer.

[clevelandmatheson]

I think what you are offering is a good example for many folks in your position should be doing, passing along tools you don't use to someone just starting out in the trade. I did the same for my son, he bought a house awhile back and really didn't have much in the way of tools, I gave him some of the tools my dad passed onto me and tools that I didn't need anymore.

[antisdelg]

Another great video! Can’t wait to see how you organize the trailer!

[raincoast]

Getting and staying tool organized. Storing/transporting large items, eg: step ladders, saw horses etc.

[dougneufeld]

Tithing is paramount Kyle. I am like you. I bought tools, lots of which may sit on a shelf for a year before I may need it. I also never bought junk. I would always wait until I could buy the better ones instead of cheaper. Albeit I notice you don't have a generator. I purchased a Honda 2200w. It has been a time saver for all corded tools that just last way longer than their battery powered counter parts. It has payed for itself because of the batteries I haven't had to purchase. Batteries are the largest cost of cordless tools.

Right tool for the Right Job.. Smarter not harder.. Hey.. Hope you enjoyed your visit to the great state of Texas.. looks like y'all where out by Jacksboro.. Next time your down this way be cool to have a little meet and greet so we can show you how much we appreciate you work...

[gittowork]

What about the most important tool? GREG!

[legioxequestris]

This beautiful tool layout gives me a fizz

[frazer]

1:36. Thought to self “I don’t have enough tools”
Epic collection btw. Looks like red is your favourite colour

[RicardoRodriguez-ituw]

DeWalt 60v worm drive style is a keeper for cordless power!! Got my self one and it's and have no regrets at all.

[sntgchns]

Thanks Kyle, you are a great person. If I lived in your city, I would love to work with you, but I live in Argentina, which is very far away. A big hug, and thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

Very dynamic introduction, walking out of the trailer. Good filming experimenting.
