What Should You Carry In Your TOOL BELT?! (These Are The Best Tools For Carpentry / Construction!!)
Many people have asked me to do a video about what tools I carry in my tool belt. So, here it is! These are the tools I've deemed important enough to carry with me at all times (mostly) in my tool belt. They're worth the weight and space to lug around.
And, since I've worked as a sort over generalized carpenter over the years (trim, framing, repair), I think these tools are a really good all-purpose collection for getting a LOT of work done!
What's In My Tool Belt:
25' Tape Measure
16 oz. Rip Claw Hammer
5-in-1 Painter's Tool
6-in-1 Screwdriver
Pliers
15-in-1 Screwdriver
Sharpie
Small Trim Pry Bar
Demolition Screwdriver
Two Chisels
Torpedo Level
Ear Protection
Two Nail Sets
Needle Nose Pliers
Nippers
6" Combo Square
Speed Square
Cat's Paw Nail Puller
Chalk Box
Eye Protection
Two Pencils
I really do think that these are the best tools for carpentry and residential construction! Each one comes in handy many, many times throughout a construction work week, and therefore I think that it's worth it to carry many or all of these tools in your tool belt. I hope this list helps!
Thanks for watching!

agreed but being a 'brand snub" will actually save you money in the case for cordless power tools since rechargable batteries arent standarized whoch means each brand' batteries arent interchangable across brands so. it pays to invest from the start on the highest quality brand for your first cordless power tool like makita or milwalkee so you can use any of those expensive batteries and chargers for more than one tool

The main thing I see absent in your tool belt is the large flat bar. On your last video I said I put mine in the loop of my left bag, where the belt goes. This is the thing, for all you wondering what to put in your bag. What ever you use the most and need all the time is what you tote. You'll figure that out soon enough. My carpentry days are almost over but I'll tell anyone this, I would not trade what I have learned for any job or any amount of money in the whole world. When you can build and fix your own stuff, nothing compares.

One thing for certain, if you get an unlike fastener mixed into a pouch of different fasteners, every time you reach into that pouch your hand will find the offending intruder but if you purposefully try to find and remove it you'll find yourself chasing it to the bottom of the pouch, LOL.

Great video. I really need to spend the money on that rig. I've had a nice padded Occidental belt for 25+ years with cheap bags and suspenders. That looks like the ideal set up for all around carpenters like us. UPDATE: I hinted to my wife what a nice set up the Occidental is. Santa gave me a beautiful rig. Full framer with the suspension. Now after 28+ years using a hodgepodge of different bags and belts, I finally have the Cadillac! Life is good. I told my wife that she overspent on me. She quickly replied, "Nonsense, it's a gift that keeps on giving." She knows she can get whatever she wants built if I have the right equipment.

I kinda fell in to a carpenter belt, I need to set it up for weekend projects! My go to belt is a rod buster belt! Been wearing one for oh my gosh 40 years now wow ! And I make all my leather , pouches , bolt bags, reel pad, and tape holder! Been doing leather work for 25 years, most of my co workers are sporting all my goods . Soon as the carpenters find out it’s me making the leather bags they always hit me up for stuff! It’s a pretty good feeling!! Thanks

I like using the cat's paw with the flat trim head opposite the nail head. Pretty much accomplishes the flat trim bar function and cat's paw function in one tool. Of course, it's not quite a thin as the trim bar. All this other stuff is good. I do favor the classic Estwing hammers tho, and I am kinda snobbish about that. Lol. I also like lineman pliers, instead of needle nose or slip-lock pliers.

If anyone gets these bags also know that the suspenders loop tends to fall off the belt. I found a fix using Velcro if anyone had this problem I’ll explain what I did. Anyways great video!

As a landlord DIYer, I use a tool bag. Most my jobs don't have me moving around great distances, rather working on something at a "spot". It contains everything you listed, plus cordless drill, jewelers screwdrivers, set of Allen wrenches in both SAE and metric, scissors, glass scraper, more chisel sizes, drill bit set, larger flat prybar (in addition to catspaw), extra cordless battery, abrasive pads, 1.5" angled paintbrush, small vicegrips, larger/longer angled adjustable pliers, assorted putty knives, small roll of paper towels, trash bag, headlamp... Note nowadays your phone can replace some, like a bullet level, flashlight, measurement conversion app, "glasses" (via camera) for reading small instructions, etc. I have separate electrical toolbox and plumbing toolbox for those tasks, but the bag has all the common stuff for generic tasks.

I can swap my stronghold suspenders from one rig to the next as needed. I try to keep a minimal about of tools in my belt.

@cre9127 Год назад

Occidental pouches are he best. I like to set myself up for the type of work I am doing. Framing, trim, siding, roofing. Whichever one I am doing, I have the “core” tools in my bags, nearby I have a bag with all the other ones that I carry for other jobs, plus a few others I often need. This way I can carry only the weight of what i will likely use but have the other stuff nearby for when I need it. I always have my eye/ear protection, speed square, utility knife, pencil and tape measure, nail sets, and usually my end nipper pliers. Other than that it varies. Sometimes the hammer is even in the way, like when installing cabinets. The last thing you want to do is gouge the side of a nice cabinet with your hammer claw. Anyway, good video.

Where you keep you nippers is where alot of us old schoolers store and use a dedicated cats paw with flat end the flat end is great at recessing nails you can't quite get to with the hammer or the claw end when striking, the combo paw just floats around in right hand bag, usually gets loaned to helpers. Myself I use the oxys, 1 bag set up for framing with spendys, another the oxy lights for finish work, and other bags set up just for drywall, roofing, and electrical, so no swapping tools in and out, dedicated bags and tools for each trade. Usually the hand me down tools from finish work go to drywall or roofing like tape measures etc don't have to be as accurate.

@@scottslotterbeck3796 ty, yah got tired of swapping tools around, or trashing tools for certain trades to go back and use them for say finish work etc plus ruining good bags like the oxys for drywall for example, a bit of an investment for sure but worth it in the long run for sure

50 years ago I invested in a tool belt not unlike yours. It has a 4" wide leather best lined with sheepskin for comfort and nylon pouches like yours. I carry very nearly the exact inventory in the same locations as you do. ( I also have an antique voltage tester with 6' leads and a tiny neon bulb.) It has served me up and down both coasts, from concrete forms to cabinetry.

Loved it. Especially the saw dust and leaves. Lol.

I need a tool belt. Can’t believe I’m just now realizing that. You have a knack for making videos on critical details that are probably so obvious to most pros that they don’t think about them, but not at all obvious to the rest of us.

I am just so fortunate to have stumbled across your videos! Seriously, cannot say thank you enough! Please keep doing what you're doing. And, as I'm confidently assuming that you are happily married, tell your wife she did goooood! 😏 The knowledge I've gained from your videos is outstanding! Keep it up! Thanks So Much!❤

I use 3 different belt setups and what’s in them depends on the day and what I’m doing that day as I do many different trades at my company .. I can say I always have a framing hammer, Cats paw, Torpedo lighted level, Tape measure, Pencil & Marker, magnetic bit holder, flat blade screwdriver, Utility knife, and whatever fasteners I may be using for that job..

i wear overalls as work in scotland and not that warm here, things i got in them for my job in a timber frame factory are, Stanley knife, the double blade one, so i got a clean blade for cutting paper and a blade for plaster board, also have to change blades less often as change them both when they blunt. also carry a nail punch, a spacer for osb, air hose valve to hose bench down of saw dust. when i worked with my dad in his general building company, i made tool boxes up with all the tools needed for certain jobs, that way once we work out what is needed for that job, just carry the tool boxes in out the van. set them up in the corner of the room and no need to have a tool belt getting in the way when going through doors and just take the tools with you as you need them in the room or outside.

Everyone has their own preferences on their bags…I worked in Oregon where it rained quite a bit and you worked in it or you never would work in the winter…so most guy’s had soft leather bags so when they got wet they would collapse and keep most of the rain out where large hard bags would retain most of the water…crazy …talk about some miserable days…but you did it…good video…oh you ever hear of a tool box…lol…save a back…

Fun video. I'm told that the UK version is exactly the same, except the little head-shake at 11:01 is removed because it's unnecessary.

@simpleman283 2 года назад

I do the same thing with trash, bent nails & such. Good one.

@natehoover5266 2 года назад

It's amazing that I almost carry the exact same tools, except I have snips for siding and gutter and metal roofing. I have a Japanese cats paw with one flat side that acts as a chisel, pry bar and many other things. I've never found another one like it and it's my favorite tool!
