    Great useful video. May I add, that those multi-function screwdrivers have both a 1/4" hex (with bits removed) and a 5/16" hex on the other end as well. As a retired electrician I used those often. That 5/16" hex is also very useful for putting on the end of a wire nut to tighten is making it easier on one's fingers. Just thought you or your subscribers might find this useful.

      Oh. Makes perfect sense now. I didn't realize that. Now I'll have to make use of those. Thanks!

    Nothing beats the 4 in 1 screwdriver, 2 sizes of Philip, 2 size of straight slot.
    The best tool is the tool between your ears.

    I never thought a Stubby would be useful, but the Klein Tools 32308 Multi-bit Stubby Screwdriver, Impact Rated 8-in-1 has become my go to...

    I found a "leaf" blower on Amazon that weighs about 1 1/2lbs,blows great, and uses my Dewalt batteries. I wanted lightweight for drying the car and truck after washing. It does a great job.

    • @RVwithTito

      Great! I don't carry my blower in the RV because it's too big. But I do like the power it has. I normally just use an air compressor when on the road.

    Another great place I found for using the leaf blower is cleaning the inside of the car. Blowing all around the dash, instruments, all the little cubby holes and doors. Blasting all the seats and around the floors it cleans out all the pine needles and dirt that gets under the seats and places impossible to reach. A couple of minutes with the leaf blower after a trip to the woods or beach leaves my entire car looking like I just spent an hour cleaning and vacuuming.

      😀 You're right. I've used it for that too.

    I was guessing it would be a tape measure. Never thought about leaf blower. I too am a clean freak and have mine available to use at all times. Actually I have two.

      Growing up I had a ton of chores. I remember when I left home for the military at 18, the first thing my Dad bought was a leaf blower 😀

    Great vid! I have and make regular use of 99% of those same tools you laid out, including the Packout system which I really like for being weatherproof and rugged portability. For cordless tools I too went with Dewalt early on, from same blower, drill + driver, ratchet, plus their tire inflator and jobsite fan. My Dewalt batteries get lots of use also with cheap Amazon accessories like portable LED lights and USB power adapters. I even installed a 20v to 12v step-down power converter inside my enclosed car hauler so now I just snap in a battery and all the interior/exterior lights, even camera are powered up when disconnected from the tow vehicle.
    But at the end you got me thinking too what was my single favorite most-often-used tool and I must concur it's the blower. As mentioned, I do have the same Dewalt leaf blower but my #1 tool has been a MetroVac mini "Sidekick" blower that I've used almost daily the past 10 years. It's more compact than a leaf blower, filtered too and I'm always clearing/cleaning and blowing things out from our computers to engine bays. The heated air it puts out is also a plus this time of year, blowing out water after washing from behind side mirrors and seals before anything freezes.

      I certainly have many more yellow tools than I showed, and they all use the same batteries. BTW I also have the step-down battery attachment for fun little battery applications. 👍

    The 11-1 screwdriver also has 3 sizes of nut drivers with the bits or bit holders removed.

    Hey Brian - If you actually USE these useful tools, how can they all still look so fresh and new? I try my best to keep my tools looking clean but not quite so "camera-ready" - you're NEXT LEVEL! (LOL) Thanks for all your videos and suggestions, great value and delivery. THANK YOU and all the best to you and yours for 2025!

    • @RVwithTito
      @RVwithTito  3 дні тому +1

      They are definitely a bit more banged up than they appear on camera, but I do try to keep them clean and wiped down after use.

      Haven't gone anywhere. Still putting out videos. Are you still subscribed? UA-cam has been known to unsubscribe folks. Glad I popped back up in your feed.

    I would have bet on the hot glue gun and totally thought you had tried using the sticks like chewing gum. The small ones of course 😊

    • @RVwithTito
      @RVwithTito  3 дні тому

      That certainly gets a lot of use, but not as much as the blower for sure.

    Always enjoy your shows and frequently add to my tool collection! I didn't know they made a pop rivit drill attachment. Look like it would be real handy especially in tight spaces so I have one coming! 😊

    • @RVwithTito
      @RVwithTito  3 дні тому

      Much cheaper than a dedicated powered rivet tool. 👍

    Wow, great video and I love your videos. I am surprised that you did not talk about a simple tape measure. You always start off a project with the amount of space either that you have or will need. 👏

    Great tool suggestions. I do bike events and its important to keep things to a minimum but need small compact tools like multi screwdriver. Thanks!

    • @RVwithTito

    Awesome video, Brian! The Packout system is such a smart way to stay organized for both RV travel and shop work. Loved the tool recommendations, especially the thermal camera and clamp meter. The rolling dollies and leaf blower tips were great too-super practical ideas!
    By the way, I just wanted to check in on our email communication about collaboration with outequippro - did you happen to get our message? If not, maybe it went to your spam folder! Let me know when you get a chance. Happy New Year!🧨🎆🎊
