You must have a 5-1 or the 7-1 painter's tool! It's a must have for every tool box. I also recommend a bucket organizer for the tools. They are made of canvas with a bunch of pockets and fit inside (& outside) of a 5 gallon Homer bucket. Ryobi and Milwaukee sell drill and driver bit sets all nicely contained in plastic case. Those are very handy to have in your tool bucket.
Great list! The two things I'd add are a good allen wrench set which come in handy for assembling furniture and often set screws in bathroom hardware, and one of any variety of those 2-foot long plastic drain snakes/drain cleaners which are so handy for mechanically unclogging bathroom sinks, tubs, and showers.
pipe wrench and pry bar i would add. Not saying you should fix complex plumbing problems behind the walls on your own, but I had to remove a sink clog from a basement pipe my first day of moving in, and needed a pry bar multiple times (which is especially important if you're doing minor renovating)
The klein 11 in 1 is the same thing as the 10 in 1 but they have an extra nut driver size. Also they have a micro 14 in 1 that's also pretty nice if you're working on small things.
I’m fixing up my house to sell. That has propelled me into the DIY realm. I don’t want to spend thousands on contract labor when, really, I think that I can figure out just about anything if I need to. The singular most valuable tool that I have bought so far is a 14 in one Pittsburgh Tools ratcheting screwdriver from Harbor Freight. I use that thing for every project. Best $15 I ever spent. That and a set of Allen wrenches - probably the first two things any homeowner should buy. Also expanding spray foam. That stuff has somehow, with no explanation, been used in damn near everything.
My advice, stay away from doing your own electrical work or plumbing work. I've worked on houses where homeowners jerry-rigged their own plumbing, which lead to clogs, leaky pipes that leaked into the subflooring, and also their own electrical work which resulted in bad wiring behind light switches, outlets that weren't installed far enough into the wall. Hell I just ran into one where the outlet wasn't drilled into the stud. Just hanging onto the drywall. Plumbing and electrical work might seem easy, but there is a reason they have training for multiple years before they can get their own license.
The only thing that immediately comes to mind that everyone else hasn't said would be small, medium, & large metal putty knife. I use them for other things besides patching drywall. Like removing old caulk, wood patching/repair, etc. Also a good caulking gun. And I have a hack for caulking like a pro. A set of painter's/art spatulas. I use these when caulking because I'm not an expert at laying caulk or silicone smooth 😂 I can work magic though with my set of spatulas.
Hi Wayne! Thanks so much for the kind words! A meter was definitely one we went back and forth on. It's actually gonna be in the next video for the "next level DIY'ers". 😊 Thanks for stopping by!
Y'all have a Great channel!!! New sub here...Great communication skills & your positive helpful attitude comes right through the computer screen!! Jess you are So pretty - but I am going to tell you like I told both of my adult daughters (young still like you) get that nose ring out....those things are not attractive - they are a negative distraction & first thought when meeting those who wear them for those who know where nose rings basically started in history

I have the 5 N 1 scraper in my big too box. So far I have 4 tool boxes. The biggest is Toughbuilt box on rollers.😃
My dad wasn’t around to teach me this stuff. I find myself with a family and home now. This stuff may seam basic to you but for me it’s needed.
Thanks for this comment. It's a good reminder for us as we continue on with the channel! Glad you found it helpful!
You two are adorable! I never thought watching a home tool video would be amusing❤

Need a good Allen wrench set both standard and metric. If you’re putting together your own furniture you need a set of Allen wrenches.
Good video you two. Concise and informative.. Thank you, you two! Keep 'em coming......
I use a lot outlet checker with my tool ti check live wires. A dvm is needed in my tool box. Tks, Randy

You have a beautiful house. Instead of a stud finder, I use a magnet to locate the wall fasteners.
Thanks for the kind words. Yes, a magnet will do the trick as well! 😊
A multitool is a great tool to have around. I would add that to the list as well.

The jelly bean story with the movie clip is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! It was definitely an adventure! Thanks for watching!

Some type of wood cutting device. Hand saw, jig saw or circ saw. Maybe a hack saw too
Just found a nice uncomplicated channel , thank you.
Appreciate the kind words!
Great video and really cool list of items. There were a few on there that I would have never considered! I would probably add a multimeter to list.

Those Knipex pliers are the best.
Let’s not corn fuse slips with locks unless they DO have a lock on them. 😊
Socket set would be good to have.
Definitely!
Need a drain snake for unclogging drains. It’s going to happen eventually. Just get one.
Well done video!
Thanks for the laughs.

Duct tape and crazy glue
