I am a DIY homeowner and I show you the tools I use that make me hate myself a little less.

My vetting philosophy

Never recommend a tool that wont last forever.

M18 FUEL 1/4" Hex Impact Driver Tool
Jobsite Power Tools$149.00

Milwaukee

M18 FUEL 1/4" Hex Impact Driver Tool

Why I Recommend This

The motor control on this impact driver is unrivaled. It balances raw torque for heavy timber framing with micro-control so you never strip out delicate hardware. It’s the single most reliable power tool on my truck.

Wave Plus Heavy Duty Multi-Tool with Premium Replaceable Wire Cutters
EDC & Pocket Hardware$119.95

Leatherman

Wave Plus Heavy Duty Multi-Tool with Premium Replaceable Wire Cutters

Why I Recommend This

If I could only carry one tool on my belt for the rest of my life, this is it. Every blade locks with reassuring precision, and the replaceable wire cutters mean you aren't throwing the tool away when you hit hardened steel.

🔨

Straight 22oz Rip Claw Hammer with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction
Hand Tools & Masonry$46.15

Estwing

Straight 22oz Rip Claw Hammer with Smooth Face & Shock Reduction

Why I Recommend This

Forged in one solid piece of American steel, there is no wooden handle to split or fiberglass core to break. The balance is perfection, and the shock-reduction grip actually saves your elbow after 1,000 swings.
