How Many Tools Can I Buy From Lowe's for $400? (Beginner Tools)

What tools are supplied by the company you are working for?

I know I'm late to the party but when it comes to adjustable pliers I have used channel lock and Pittsburgh and everything else but I have recently come to knipex and I will never go back

My old tape measure is a Standley 8m/ 26' by Tylon, when I was a glazer. I use it as a home tool now just because a starting employee kept bending the measure back and forth and really warpped my blade from 0-5in/ 0-12.6cm and it has a lot of chips on the side too. I rarely give someone my tape now and expect others to have the bare minum or I watch them use it and give it back right away. So far my Toughbuilt 26' (Main) and Milwaukee 16ft (spare) are my go to and haven't yet lost it.

Great video. Greetings from Dundalk, Ireland.

Pretty good. i would definitely swap out the chisels for a set of Allen keys.

Flat-head screws should've been phased out of existence 60 years ago. T25's should be the norm.

And why wouldn’t you shut buy everything kobalt because everything is lifetime warranty

Lufkin 35f is trash used it first day buying it pulled it out to 33f and then wouldn’t go back in the holder. Kobalt 35f is the best even have the 16f kobalt.

this was the absolute last place i expected to see filthy frank but i am overjoyed that i did.

My first tool bag was my old backpack from high school. Served well for those first few months

You're better off buying black market tools

you can get this under 250 at harbor freight

Thank you for your videos, I just got hired on as a fire sprinkler apprentice first days Monday..

3 in 1 plunger

Don't forget a drill

The last thing you want as a finish Carpenter is a waffle head hammer smooth for finish work waffle for framing

You could get the same variety of tools for cheaper at Home Depot. You get the same warranties and even better quality but will save on nearly every item I saw here. The only great deal I saw was the hammer.

Tools for guys who already have a collection started ?

u need a sqare g

I ain't ever seen anyone ever actually use the warranties lmao. I should probably get on their ass about saving the receipt and doing this with their tools.

Why do you throw a lot of the heavy metal hand tools into the metal shopping cart? I realize tools are going to get wear and tear on them, but why intentionally abuse them? Especially before they belong to you. If someone came into my shop and tossed my tools around like that, I'd kick them out and tell them never to come back.

"Hazzle free" at lowes means you have to have a rexeipt or the exact card you used to purchase it, sif its no longer available oh well they just tell you to fucc off. Lowes is the shittiest store there is and yes im aware ace exists

IF YOUVE HAD A TAPE MEASURE “”FOREVER””” THAT MEANS YOU AINT WORKING !! 🤨🤨🤨

Lifetime warranty is meaningless once the manufacturer goes out of business

Buy expensive tools, expensive tools are cheap compared to other items such as a phone

Who else watching this has there boxes flooded with makita Milwaukee or dewalt amd your just watching this cause you also have a weird addiction with good work tools😂

Mainly a Milwaukee man myself but when it comes specifically to tape measures, Stanley FatMax is what i always go for.

It should be illegal to be this wholesome

I have a milwakee tape measurer that I’ve had for about 3 years now and a ryobi one that has lasted me 1 year and a half. Hold on to these things with my life!!!

lmao. i challenge you to go put together a starting drywall finishing kit thats actually fast enough to compete with the illegal immigrants for under 1k.... ill wait

is adding a light clear coat to the commonly used portion of a tape measure to protect the numbers from wearing out a thing?

Carpenter here I love the Stanley fatmax

You should $500 next lol😂

I go by the rule of "If it's a MUST have, pay a bit more; if it's a NICE TO have, spend a little less". I don't see the economic sense of paying a lot for something you only use very rarely. The core tools, the ones seeing daily use, are where the money needs to go.

I use Dewalt tools purely because my brother found a pile of batteries during a remodeling job and gave me 12

You're the reason I learned basic repairs. I got an HVAC license when i was 18, and it's been very useful at home and in my car. I can do most trades and mechanic work. I still call up a trade if I can't do it right.

Used to work at Lowes. If it hasnt changed, the hassel free is just that. You literally grab the new one off the shelf, go to returns with your broken one, and your new one.. sign some stuff.. then walk out the door. I love Kobalt stuff

Not a big fan of lufkin I am a welder and I’ve had it ruined in a day the kobalt brand has lasted me months and the new Irwin brand tapes are very sturdy

This dude is such a boss.

Amazing can't wait to get my tools together and help my dad out

Stably fat max served my dad doing carpentry for 6-7 years and now serves me now that he’s gone. Thanks dad…I miss you

Osmosis style got me in the floor

Drill, sawzall, and rotozip are mandatory.

What I love about tape measures with magnets is that I can use it to pick up all the screws etc. I drop down holes and behind furniture 😅 I'm seldom more than three feet away from a tape measure! (Totally a lie, but I did get me another one to have in my apartment, because it's too handy and I don't want to go down to my workshop all the way down in the basement! I mean, I live on the second floor! It takes me all of two minutes to go down there!)

The knifes without the slider for the blades are meant for drywall, it’s so the mud can’t dry in the slider and prevent it from working anymore

Cold chisels are one of my favorite hand tools. Super handy in all trades.

You can always upgrade as you go along 👍 good for starting out

Get a stanley fatmax 30
