TOP 5 TOOLS UNDER $25

Top five tools for homeowners under $25. Let's get after it. All right, so the lineup I have here, the last five tools that we're going to be throwing in our bucket. Over the course of the last four weeks, we have built this bucket into the homeowner's dream tool bucket. And next video, I'm going to be going through this bucket. But I wanted to add five quick tools to here that will help anybody out and are absolutely necessary to have in your tool bucket. So, let's take a look at tool number one. Tool number one that I'm going to talk about, a simple Allen key set. You can pick these up for a couple bucks at Harbor Freight. I mean, you can get standard and metric. Most of the times they come in a kit together. They're just cheap old Allen key sets, but they do the job whether you're taking apart taking apart door handles, IKEA furniture, random stuff around the house. An Allen key set is always good to have both standard and metric. Now, I'd posted a video a while back, probably two months ago now, that talked about the top five tools from Harbor Freight that I would buy again, and I talked about these T- handle hex key sets. These I love. So, if you can pick these up and you have the room for them, definitely pick up the T- handle ones. They make life much easier. But if all you got space for in a closet of an apartment or whatever is a tool bucket, just pick up yourself a little Allen key set like this and get after it. I'm going to throw that in the bucket. Let's move on to tool number two. So number two tool on the list, or really I guess number four tool on the list. We'll go Allen keys number five. This would be number four. We'll go number four tool on the list. Stud finder. This really only has one purpose, that's to find studs in your wall, whether you're hanging a TV or a picture. Um, there are different other ways to do it, like knocking on it and try to find it. But if you don't want to put a million and a half holes in your wall, just go pick yourself up a I don't even know what this is, $5 stud finder, and uh you'll be good to go. It works. It works perfect for me. I've been using it. I've been using it a lot. So, I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to throw a stud finder in a bucket. That's super helpful for hanging TVs or pictures, like I said. Let's move on to our number three tool. My number three tool on the list, the 6in-1 scraper. Whether it's cleaning off paint rollers with the paint roller cleaner in there, or you're scraping paint off of a plate, or maybe some dried up paint on a paint can, or in this case, some pipe dope. Whether you're scraping that off or scraping stickers off of a table or or peeling stain or whatever, this scraper is perfect for just about everything. I can take it to a paint can, get it in there, pop the lid on it quickly, or it's it's a pry bar, a paint roller cleaner, and a scraper allin one. I always got them on me for various different tasks around the job. scraping old cocking around tubs or around toilets or scraping paint off of a wall or even maybe even cleaning off the slag on a on a weld bead. You know what I mean? If that's if that's what you guys want to do. But this is my number three tool. Let's head in to number two. Number two tool on the list, levels. Little rocket levels, little pocket levels, little either a 9 in level or a 6in level. I got a level at work that's probably a 3-in level I keep in my coveralls. I absolutely love it. I use it all the time for for everything. Whether I'm hanging a whiteboard or you can set this on a toilet to get your toilet level or a picture or a TV or whatever you're doing. If you're welding something and it's got to be level, levels are a must have in your tool bucket, especially for homeowners. You don't want to get your wife's picture all crooked and You know what I mean? So, level, that's going to be my number two tool. Also helpful in some trades like plumbing where you don't want it to be level, right? Like you want a certain degree of slope on that plumbing as you go, you know, like eighth of an inch per foot or whatever it is, right? So level number two tool. Put that in my bucket. Let's move on to number one. So my number one tool for homeowners in this top five of this category is a speed square. You can do a lot for this. I'm going to make a separate video on all the uses of a speed square, but the most common, of course, is just put it right on your fence right there, mark your straight line, and that's where you know where to cut. That's your most common use for a speed square. There are plenty other uses. I'm going to use that for a separate video. So, this is my number one tool in the top five tools under $25. So, I think we're at about 25 or so tools in this tool bucket. And honestly, it's not too heavy. It fits pretty well in here. But next week, we're going to add up all these tools and see how much it costs us and see how much you guys can get this tool bucket for. So, sorry this was a quick one. I just want to make a quick one, add the top five, all tools under 25 bucks, the ones that maybe didn't fit a specific category or whatever. So, anyways, stay tuned for next week's video where we add up the total of this bucket. All right, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys on the next one.
