What happens here
This drawer is filled with various pliers, cutters, and measuring tools. The presenter shows off his Milwaukee needle-nose pliers (a favorite), Milwaukee wire strippers (recently reviewed), and a specific pair of pliers designed for punching holes in siding (an interesting specialty tool). He also has industrial-sized scissors for cutting shingles, various utility knives, small and large Milwaukee Fastback utility knives, a Milwaukee Hawkbill knife (for electricians), a Milwaukee folding utility knife, and various Milwaukee tape measures (25ft and 16ft, including compact and magnetic versions), along with Stanley Powerlock and Craftsman tape measures. Finally, a Milwaukee speed square and level are present.
