"if you're installing a kitchen get a track saw" - Funnily enough, I just finished installing a kitchen, and bought a track saw for it. Worth every penny.

As a cabinetmaker i can agree a track saw is well worth the investment. It saves so much time with scribing, and pays itself off with the amount that i use it. Couldn't imagine going without it now. Definitely recommend it

@richardcapey-wade8191 4 года назад

Thanks for the new episode, over 3 weeks in lock down now (UK House building) I have far too many tools for my job as a carpenter of 30+ years (and other trades tools ) what I actually use on site from cordless extractors, miter saws etc but when I'm at home doing a little 'DIY' I break out the old nobex hand mitre saw which is very accurate, and various hand tools, taking time to sharpen well, even saws as well as chisels and planes. May be for the weekend warrior, acquiring and learning how to use hand tools to make say a small storage box etc as these skills can easily be up scaled up and used to fit doors, kitchens or roofs as these are all elementary and it's having the eye for accuracy and detail, what makes a good tradesman. I'll have to have another lie down after that, keep it up.

@ridgiesmakingit 4 года назад

As a carpenter - Best ever tool's that I got is my Dewalt Table saw - Cordless Makita track saw - Makita cordless drill combo and a Multi tool .

@recommit 4 года назад

I have the same. Upgraded from corded to cordless track saw & what a difference. As much as I don't like to admit it, I added a Ryobi multi tool to the van & it sits in the draw right next to the Makita one at twice the price, yet I grab the Ryobi almost every time...it's that much better.

@bighands69 4 года назад

For a beginner an MFT and track saw could do the job of a table saw and miter saw. Not ideal for a professional set up as it would be too slow but then again there are cabinet makers producing real detailed work with just that set up.

@anand8905 4 года назад

As a carpenter from Canada, M18 Milwaukee fuel impact/drill combo kit is the best impact setup out there. I've had both Makita and Dewalt.

@DiscoFang 4 года назад

During the lockdown I just built a skullery extension to the kitchen. Ended up doing all the framing including the subfloor, walls and roof with a cordless circular saw and a hand-held set-square guide for it. Initially couldn't be assed setting up the big Dewalt droppie and table because of the threatening rain and ended up just doing the whole thing that way for the hell of it. So refreshing just going basic. ... errm apart from the Paslode.

Ah yes! And a truckload of pencils, or a great mechanical pencil. Hung about 8 doors earlier this year and made good money. Only needed a drill, chisels and a hammer. Along with the basic measuring tools. A friend was kind enough to lend a planer. I wouldn't call myself Paul Sellers, but I got quite the confidence boost for doing a quality job with what I had.

@davidhull1610 4 года назад

I think a track saw is indispensable these days. When I bought mine it transformed my woodworking. A mate of mine is a carpenter. He was so impressed by my ts55 that he went out and bought one straight away and now it's his most used tool next to his drill/impact driver.

@Mattittas 4 года назад

It seems as you have some experience, so I'll ask you a question: if I were to buy a track compatible circular saw, would I then "need" a tracksaw later, or do you think it would be sufficient with just the circ saw?

@pablolobo6560 4 года назад

As a newbie myself, I would personally add a jig saw. Incredibly handy, light and relatively cheap. It will get you out of s lot of trouble and used way more than I thought it would.

@Overworkt 4 года назад

Yep! I think it's one of the more underestimated tools - you can cut all kinds of fancy joints with a jigsaw - use it as a tablw saw, chisel, demo saw, metal saw - limits are endless!

I like Makita due to the huge LXT range of tools - once you have a few batteries it is easy & cheap to buy body only tools without batteries & chargers. Their LXT garden tool range is excellent also.

@DiscoFang 4 года назад

I second that about their garden tools. I bought the hedge trimmer expecting it to be a small one-off job tool but it turned out to be incredible. I now use it as the number one trimmer and the petrol powered one is only used for high trimming.

@richardcapey-wade8191 4 года назад

I'm a general builder, and I would say the top three tools for a starter would be an impact driver, saw and a hammer - you could build a house with these three tools. I say impact driver because you can drive massive fasteners, as well as use drill bits without risk of injury (such as drilling into steel). Everything else just increase efficiency or accuracy. 👍

@jay-rus4437 4 года назад

As a general contractor we use by far the most often impact, oscillating saw, 4-1/2” circular saw, and level. Of course we have many other tools, and all are used. Most all of our tools are dewalt 20v/60v platform Nailers: Framing nailer, 16g finish nailer, 18g brad nailer, 23g pin nailer Saws: table saw, compound miter, circular saw 7-1/4”, circ saw 4-1/2”, oscillating saw, reciprocating saw, jig saw, tile saw Impacts/Drivers: single speed impact, multi speed impact, standard drill, hammer drill Finish work: router, rotary tool, belt sander, orbital sander Hand tools: everything known to man 😂😂😂

Some time ago I was put onto the battery powered AEG tools and for the most part I've been very happy with them. They have a significantly longer warranty on batteries and gear and in my experience they compare well to Makita. The AEG brushless battery grinder and brushless battery circ saw seem pretty heavy going on batteries, but I have nothing to compare them too. I'd add a couple of good chisels and a good sharpening method for same to both lists. Stay safe and well. Cheers, David

That is another useful tool - angle grinder, if you are doing a large amount of metal work or vinyl siding.

Plus you can get a full set of pneumatic nail guns and a palm nailer for less than just one cordless nailer.

Another great (and exciting) video Scott, thanks very much. One tool you didn't mention and is definitely in the upper end is an inexpensive laser level. I know you can do it all with a standard level, but once I hung a door using a laser I don't think I would go back. And don't even consider tiling a shower or back splash, or even hanging a few pictures. For around $100 (US$) it is an inexpensive luxury.

@richardbaron7106 4 года назад

As a home owner with not a lot of money and just doing maintenance / general projects, I've found Ryobi are fine for the cost (my corded and cordless Ryobi drills are all over 10 years old and still going strong). I'd buy Makita if they were on sale at the hardware store, though, just coz the overall quality is better. Having said that, I bought an 18v cordless drill from Argos in the UK a few years back and shipped it back with my household stuff in 2019 and even though it's a no-name brand, it's been more than adequate. I recently installed a kitchen using hand saw, skilsaw and cordless drill - def think a tracksaw is an awesome piece of kit.

@alexgreve2321 4 года назад

Great video. As I'm in no capacity a professional I combined a circular saw with a tracksaw. Bought a Makita (HS7601J) which with an adapter-bracket (197005-0) would fit the standard railing from Makita (Q311). Much easier to make straight cuts and also nice to have the flexibility of one saw for two purposes.

@captbill279 4 года назад

You can get a nice "super quiet" compressor and a nail gun kit, with a framing nailer, 18 gauge ,and 15 gauge nailers for about the same as ONE cordless nailer. Even as a professional I started with air tools and then invested in the cordless Hitachi's. The only real value as a pro with cordless is it saves you so much time vs packing and unpacking the air tools.

Aloha Scott, just started watching your channel since I'm researching tools for DIY. About to get started on gutting and renovating our downstairs once the tenants are out at the end of the month. Already had the Makita 18v impact driver, so I'm building out based on that platform. Already got a couple of good Cyber Monday deals on the subcompact drill (with 1.5 batt.) and a 36v rear handle circular (with two 5.0 batt.) saw which also came with the mini router (tool only), so I already have 4 batts. Would have selected the multitool instead of the router, but I'm planning to get the newer version with less vibration based on your feedback and research. I'll eventually give away or sell the few corded tools I have to go totally cordless. It is a pain to search for outlets and run cord vs just grabbing a tool with built in power. Probably stick with corded if/when I get a table and compound miter saw. Gotta admit I'm both excited and nervous to get started on my first reno. Luckily, my wife's friend who's a contractor will be involved and can help me show me the ropes before I screw things up too bad. Ha! Daughter also wants me to build shelving units to replace drawers, which was another reason for choosing the router. You're very easy to follow & engaging...thanks for the videos & Take Care, Brian
