I was taught that if you install the trims you should make sure it’s ready for the painter, I even worked with a few guys that would fill all the nail holes and caulk the trims so it was ready for the painter • There is a lot of “it’s not my job” out there. Personally I’d rather be someone that’s nice to work behind. . . . #tools #construction #carpenter #carpentry
It’s that time of year again, and we have got a lot of snow in the last couple weeks • This Ryobi snow thrower can do up to 6” of snow which is what it’s doing here. It’s good for decks, walkways and small driveways. • The unit in the video is actually 2 separate pieces. The power head had the battery and attaches to a bunch of different accessories like this snow thrower • There is a ton of Ryobi Black Friday Sales going on right now @RYOBI Tools USA @RYOBI Canada . . . #tools #construction #snow #ryobi #ryobitools #winter
Check out this flip drill from @SKIL POWER TOOLS • A press of the button and you can flip it rather then changing bits • It has 2 speeds as well as 9 torque settings. It can run on their 12v or 20v battery • This could make a pretty good installation driver for cabinets . . . #tools #construction #skilpowertools #skilpartner #carpentry
This may look like a packet of ketchup but it’s the Kwik-X CRC Dual Action anchor system • The dual system is KH-EZ CRC screw anchors with corrosion-resistant coating and KHC adhesive capsules. • They have a ton of information on the @Hilti North America website. • This could definitely speed things up . . . #tools #construction #hilti #hiltipartner #concrete
We’ve had this Makita multi-cutter for around 4 years now and still running the same blade • It self cleans and sharpens the blade as it turns. It’s a good way to get the kids to cut up the recycling and put it in the bin 🤣 @makitatools@makita.ca . . . #construction #tools #build #makita #makitatools #cardboard #recycle #cooltools
This will be our second winter running the 28” Ego 2 stage snowblower • It’s self propelled so you just walk behind it and it throws the snow up to 60’!!! • I love the electronic chute control, we ran it in -35° and it worked perfect. • I do recommend getting a couple sets of batteries for continuous runtime if you have a big yard/driveway @EGO #egopartner . . . #tools #construction #snow #winter #canada #saskatchewan #saskatoon #yxe #snowblower
Best vehicle for construction? Finally got to check out the MAKTRAK while we were at Sema Can’t wait to load it up with tools @makitatools@makita.ca . . . #tools #construction #makitapartner #makita #makitatools
Check out this New 12” Hilti Nuron Miter Saw! • It runs on one battery and is dual bevel. I like that the lock for the bevel is upfront • Tons of detents on this saw and a bright shadow line to see where your going to cut • The stand is light and a quick setup. Also a fan of being able to use the cordless vacuum on a button to turn it on and off @Hilti North America . . . #tools #construction #hilti #hiltipartner #carpentry
This is a serious bit! Some I’ve tried over the years drill in fast but get caught up because the chip ejection isn’t good • Now on the packaging it says optimized for use low speed high torque. But you know me, I had to put the @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA drill into 2nd speed with the turbo boost on and let it eat. And it did not disappoint • It just pulled itself through. This is a @SpyderProducts 3/4” x 18” bit that says it’s good for wood with nails. They say 20x faster and 10x more holes per charge than a conventional center point bit. . . . #tools #construction #spyderpartner #flexpowertools #flexpartner
Check out this New @CBI Offroad Fab bumper on the Tacoma! • I thought I was loosing my hitch but nope! It’s behind the license plate. • Perfect for the @adventurehammocksystems • This was a quick swap out with no cutting, take off the old and put on the new . . . #tools #construction #cbi #tacoma #toyotatacoma #truck #sema #overland #overlanding
Check out these @Diode Dynamics SS3 Max Fog lights • This has to be the easiest install ever. Reach in and unscrew 1 screw and unplug the light. Then put in the SS3 the same way you took out the factory light • The wide cast of these lights into the ditch on the highway when there is no oncoming traffic around is unreal. Better then my brights • The are available in white or yellow and sport, pro or max output. • @diodedynamics has all the info on their website • Check out that screws driver organization in my @gearwrenchtools Mega Mod setup! • These lights can be purchased through @esskcustoms . . . #tools #truck #tacoma #tacomaoffroad #toyotatacoma #diodedynamics #overland #overlander #gearwrench #gearwrenchpartner
I’ve shown you the spring tool nail set, here’s the punch • We had to install these wall panels and the screw heads were pretty much the same size as the slot be we had to make sure the drill bit wouldn’t walk • Using the Makita 40v Drill @makitatools@makita.ca #makitapartner . . . #tools #construction #carpenter #makita #makitatools
This @gearwrenchtools mobile work table has had a lot of Tacoma parts assembled in it this year • It’s also helped me from misplacing the 10mm sockets 🤣 . . . #tools #mechanic #gearwrench #gearwrenchpartner #tacoma #toyotatacoma
How are you fastening your plates to basement slabs? • Our go to is still tap cons with a rotary hammer. This way if there is a change for any reason it’s super easy to pull the screw and move the wall • Here I’m using the @Hilti North America TE 6-22 Nuron rotary hammer with the TE DRS 4/6 Hepa dust extractor • It runs off the tools battery to keep the size and weight down . . . #tools #construction #concrete #hilti #hiltipartner #framing
