When I was a kid, working in an upholstery shop, one of my jobs was to remove the existing fabric from the frame of chairs, sofas, etc. The most indispensable tool to use for removing upholstery staples was a pair of side cutters. Gently grab the head of the staple and roll the side cutter on its side and the staple pulls right out, smoothly and almost effortlessly. I've never forgotten that tool and the usefulness for a job that it arguably was not designed for. Steve

I was a young man walking with my father and we were tool shopping. We were almost to the power tool section and we were talking about brands. I called the Porter Cable brand the Porter Wagner and he started to laugh hard. I pulled a Norm Crosby bit without thinking. He died years ago and it's silly, but it is one of my fond memories of my father. We always had good laughs together.

You may mention channel lock pliers in a future video, but if you haven't tried the knipex brand cobra channel lock pliers get a pair. Game changer for sure. I haven't found a better gripping pair of pliers yet. If I had to limit a tool kit for weight or some other reason those could take the place of vise grips, regular pliers, and even pipe wrenches. I've used them to remove oil filters, fit pipe, and even used them to remove a stuck spindle nut when I didn't have the proper socket available. I was able to put my hands under the fender and push on the pliers with my foot. Since they self lock once there is tension on them you don't need to squeeze the handles to maintain grip.

I'm a tool guy and don't own a large pair of side cuts. I have a small pair for electrical work and a specialized flush cut version for trimming pin nails in trim. I think linesman pliers are more versatile and except for really tight places give most of the functionality of sidecuts. A huge improvement over pliers are the Knipex cobra series, with the 10" my go to tool. The features are far superior to regular pliers and channel locks, but aren't apparent until you use them. The most important is that the geometry doesn't fight you. The harder you twist the harder they bite. Your hand isn't forced open by the torque. They are thin and very strong. Fine teeth. One hand push button adjustment. Parallel jaws with recesses for a firm bite on hexes. My favorite pliers. You won't be disappointed. .

I suspect my uncle still has Grandad's pick, I should call him. I know no one else in the family would have interest in it. I also detest plastic handles, but my "truck" shovel that rides year round in the back of my truck has one. I live near Astoria, it rains here, if you hadn't heard, lol.

Hi Cody, I have been getting rid of all my coded tools, I was fed up with every time I wanted something the cord would be tangled with all sorts of other tools, so I bit the bullet and cut off all the cords. I bought twenty good quality three pin connectors and put the mail connection onto all my tools. I then bought a fifty-foot reel of good quality flexible three cord wire and made several extensions ten feet, fifteen feet, and twenty-five feet extension and I have never looked back, I got the idea from Festool and it is so much easier to keep tools that do not have long cords on them and I use less room storing them as well.

You could never go wrong with Vice Grips. The originals were made here in Nebraska in Dewitt, will be stamped on the side of the vice grip. There were made here and the name had also changed to American Tool, until they shut the plant down and moved production to China in 2008. Something like 330 people lost their jobs and really hurt the town of Dewitt, then eventually was bought out by Malco. Still very good tool, most now have wire cutters built into them and there are different models from Vice Grip C clamps and even chain strap wrenches.

Ya know, that's a really good point. This should be renamed. Maybe "Most used tools to make your life easier while fixing stuff." Does not have the same ring to it. Oh I have an idea for a video Wranglerstar! So, I am not saying all men do dangerous dumb stuff when trying to fix things, but we have all seen those crazy meme pictures for example where some guy is on a ladder 20 feet in the air with the base of the metal ladder supported on a tiny board while fixing an electrical thing with a huge metal screwdriver with the power still on while his friend is holding his beer. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration. Lol How about do a video on the top 10 or 20 safety tips to survive life when fixing stuff while not being dumb? Or another one I myself would appreciate is: So you have made an investment in good tools spending your hard earned money. How do you keep them in good working condition so they last? Just a suggestion because I know I am super guilty of not putting effort into upkeep until I pull out some tool and it is stuck and will no longer work. It makes me sad when that happens. :(

one quick thing I want to note is that when it comes to jigsaws corded is nice because you don't have to worry the battery not being fully charged,however that's literally the only benefit vs cordless,if you take into consideration that with a cordless jigsaw you can use it both indoors and outdoors because you don't have to worry about plugging it and you don't have worry about tripping over the cord and you don't have to worry about how long f an extension cord to reach your work area unless you have a receptacle nearby,however the problem with cordless is that some brands aren't very precise with their cutting so I can totally relate to why you use corded,another downside to cordless is that they're always more expensive than corded regardless of what brand you want,but those are just my opinion's on my own personal experience with jigsaws and I thought I'd share.
@torjones1701

That is a very interesting challenge! I just had to pause and go build my list to see what I came up with and how much we over lap! :) Side cutters, screwdrivers, vice grip, drill bits, crescent wrench, pliers, jig saw, all yes, so 70% match so far... I get why you chose a sledge type hammer, but I prefer a rock drill and wedges. sure, it's slow, but I can do a whole lot more than just break those rocks up, and if you've got a forge setup, they're really rather easy to make. The reason I didn't chose the chalk box/plumb bob is because they are such simple things to make, with the right tools of course! :) That's the same reason I didn't choose a putty knife either, way too easy to use a wood shingle shaved down to give the flex that you're looking for. (tools implies the ability to build things with them, which implies the ability to make other tools) Given that you've got drill bits, I'm guessing that there's going to be a drill somewhere on the list later on... Thanks for sharing this, it's a fun one!

I've used a Makita drill and it definitely has more torque than Ryobi and is built beefier but for my purpose I can make my budget go a lot further buying Ryobi and they work just fine. Zero issues thus far and I know others who agree that have used other types of tools. Definitely on most things corded go with the better quality, it's not going to be that much more expensive. On cordless I'm going to stick with Ryobi for awhile.

Oddly, I'd take a fine wood-working saw such as what my Grandpa and Woodwork teachers and we in the UK call a Tenon Saw, as opposed to the longer and rougher Cross-Cut Saw. The Tenon is like the Japanese one with the re-inforcement along the top of the blade in the 'Tool Kit' you made as a prize a while back. I've heard them called DoveTail Saws as well but a Tenon is what I grew up calling them.

Just my opinion, and maybe you have channel locks in one of the next videos already. :) Can't wait to watch them. Keep up the great work!!
