I'm a fan...of the Milwaukee fan!
I’m a carpenter and this man has more tools than me and I thought I had a lot😂
You should watch the video released today..😆
Nice set up😎🤙
Amazing! Your organization and cleanliness says a lot about your work, keep it up!
Very nice!
Your tool cubbies, how deep and how tall did you build them? I'm measuring my longest tool, recip saw at 20 inches long, or dewalt nailer at 15 inches tall. What is your dimension?
Bottom two rows are 13 inches deep and 9 inches tall. Top row is 16.75 inch deep and 15.5 inches tall
I like the trailer mine is close to the same but why a microwave instead of a dorm fridge? ... says the guy that only eats supper.... I would rather have cold drinks than hot food
New tool trailer has both a microwave and mini fridge. Cold drinks can be had with a small cooler but new trailer has a coffee maker so need a spot for creamer so…why not.
@RenovationsandRepair with the roads here in Nebraska I see a coffee maker not surviving more than a couple days often I have a drawer or 2 on the floor and I have a 2 inch drop so they should stay in when I get my new trailer I'll probably do everything level with magnetic child locks or a velcro strap on each door
Your tool trailer is rockin....Nice Job...👍😊👊
Wow.....I wish my garage looked half as good as your trailer!
This trailer space is genius. And I think I’m going to use your design for my 16’ I’ve got a 12’ but put cheesy shelves in it before I actually started watching videos on real trailer shelves
Is great for heating up anyting that's what a microwave is far......LOLOLOL
Everything I want to have and everything the way I’d want it, too! And I believe I saw USMC around there! Freaking awesome, man!
Yes sir. Thanks.
Some roads and driveways in my area are pathetic using a trailer. Impossible to turn around , etc. I prefer a semi organized van.
I was thinking of getting a ford transit but I like your idea the truck can be used for personal or business and use the trailer for business. Great videos !!
I own a ford transit connect, the small van. I sometimes pull a 5x8 enclosed trailer with a 6ft interior. I only pull the trailer when im wiring a house or a meter socket and breaker panel change out. The trailer is like an small inventory store with common parts I use. The time i dont use the trailer is when im out doing service calls. My gasoline bill is only $28 a week since its a 4 cylinder motor. The van has plenty of power. Im going to start making custom shevling for my trailer here son.
What truck are you hauling with? Going to buy a trailer this spring and deciding for a 12 or 14 ft. Tow rig is a 2020 gmc AT4 1500 diesel so should be good for weight.
F150.
Would recommendation 14Ft over the 12ft. You will always want more space.
great trailer. I wish i had the space for all that stuff im currently in a 10'x8' cargo trailer and have it filled to the max. I really like how much space you have for the extra supplies. nothing worse than making several trips to the hardware store each day.
Any build videos any the side door storage for all the squares and straight edges?
I am in the process of rebuilding a few things including side door storage. Will have the video up this month.
How many one measures do you need ? LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Awesome trailer, man. Thanks so much for sharing your work. I’m always looking to upgrade the trailer and will be stealing some of your ideas!
Sweet trailer bro! You put mine to shame 😂 keep up the great work. Enjoy watching you videos. We do share one thing in common for sure the name Rich👍 catch you on the next one
No poop bucket? FAIL. kidding all looks good!
looks like home depot on wheels
Great tour. The using the crate to store the 118 track was genius. I’m slapping myself for throwing it out now
Well this guy knows how to make money 💰 the more organized you are the more time you can be working getting the job done efishently the Richer you will be very good I've seen another guy with a nice trailer like that if only I had the time maybe my next life lol
Thanks. Being efficient directly relates to making more money working piece rate.
What would be any words of wisdom for someone thinking about becoming a maintenance/handyman person in MI? Not in 517 though!! Lol
Know your numbers. Overhead costs and profit ect. In in the 248 area.
@@RenovationsandRepair 989
989 area huh. Well I would definitely have a truck because of the 4x4 areas you will need to go in. Which means transporting tools will be a pain if you dont have a covered bed. Maybe invest in a enclosed trailer.
Focus on what you do best and use social media to get your name out there. Tell all your friends and family. Ask for referrals from them all. Document all your work and post it to your socials. Get a website. I used GoDaddy. Pretty cheap and you can build it yourself. Funnel all your work through your website once it's up and running.
Thanks bro 100 hours i was wondering about that i got ball park now
Yeah. Always a work in progress but if I had to do it again and has straight time I could get it done in 60.
Nice trailer. Do you have a video just on your electrical trailer setup? Thanks

Impressive layout. Although I only have one concern. Instead of one trailer that does it all, you should have a storage that carries everything. Invest in multiple smaller enclosed trailers. Have several crews come to the storage and sign what is needed for the day's project requirements. Instead of having the capability of only doing one or two jobs at one time. I started like you 18 years ago. It took me 3 years to understand the logistics of scaling. Now I vacation over 4 months out of the year, and still bring home over 1.3M a year.
Some people work "in" their business.
I chose to work "on" my business.
From a bird eyes view and manage the logistics by empowering the right people to run your company. Expect only 90% done correctly, and that no one will work as hard as you. Learn that, and you too will be able to join me at one of my beach houses. Great work! Keep it up!
I thought my tool trailer was set up good until I watched this video. Nice Job!
Hey Todd
Thanks man. I have an update video coming out next month. Some big changes to this setup to make it more efficient.
Nice setup!! Very organized
Love the trailer. I’m a handyman in white lake. I could totally make your painting more efficient.
Overall I like the setup. Needs a few tweaks here and there. But I will say this, clean your mudding tools. Leaving them looking like that speaks volumes about what others may think about your work. I would murder my crew for leaving my tools looking like that.
Yeah the dirty mud tools definitely jumped out to me as well.
Same here. I'm a flooring guy and each time we make a new bucket of patch or leveler we clean the tools. No exceptions. And because of that I haven't had to buy new floats in years.
Got some great tips ty
Thanks for sharing. Like how you store your squares on the back side of the door
Nicely organized. I'd put a burglar alarm system on it.
Love the 16 ft trailer and like the idea of solar on the roof. Like it great thanks for sharing.
Love your video . Where do you purchase a plan? thank you !
Look up Ron Paulk
Damn. Looking good! Awesome trailer!
Thanks. Lots of work.
You have an excellent set up !!!! Looks very useful 👍👍👍
Thanks. It has changed since this video. Will need to do a update video sometime soon.
Almost had to wipe my mouth cuz I’m of drooling.. amazing
Great setup, thank you. Good ideas for my build out
What was the material cost for the built-ins?
Birch plywood around $1300
@@RenovationsandRepair Thanks! Great job on the build!
lithium batteries stored in a hot trailer in the summer heat scares me. it only takes one to explode to lose it all
Did a great job. Enjoyed watching. Thanks
nice setup, took notes for my trailer setup
Nice looking trailer. Highly suggest a quality security system. How much does this rig weigh loaded as is?
Thanks. 5980lbs
@@RenovationsandRepair Looking to do something similar in a 6x12 soon. I see lots of these build outs and I always am curious about weight. Under 6k with everything you have in there is very impressive! Lots of wood, your battery bank, and inverter.. very cool! Cheers!
I seen a Marine Corps sticker rah
1/5 Alpha. 2003-2007
3/5 Lima co. 04-05 Rah!
justin bernatz 3/5 darkhorse right?
Very nice setup.
Amazing work Richard, thanks for inviting us to the trailer. Great idea going with 100% battery tools 💡
Love handymen, we always get hired o fix your work....always hire a pro
😂
Love General contractors, Generally not good at fixing anything, Call a sub to do the work and complain about them while you cash the 50% you charged for the phone call
Did you use standard a/c plywood?
Yes
Good looking setup! Thanks for sharing!!!
hit a bump and half of that is on the floor.
Lol. You would think but no. It all stays put.
Bro I’m jealous! lol. awesome tool trailer
Very impressive and inspirational. Thank you Sir.
That is a proper set up! Curious on how much you’ve spent on tools lol
Very good video!
Very well organized trailer!
Great work! Thanks for sharing your tool trailer. It is nice to see how other contractors set up their tool trailers.
Love the set up bro, but i have to ask you; when everyone is specialising what made you want to get into so many disciplines? Do you ever get flack from the "specialists" in your area? Finally doesn't it get hectic with the truck stock and the different clients calling you for different things? I mean i get it, because if you spend any time on a jobsite and are willing to learn, over the years you will learn almost every trade because i have done that, and while i can hang drywall, plaster & paint, fabricate forms,tie steel, etc. for business i do Hvac/r and Electrical...minor plumbing like water heaters and simple repair because find it too much to deal with being pulled in ten different directions...i am curious as to what is your take.
Been thinking about that quite a bit myself. I think the reason I don't "specialize" more is that I secretly like the variety...or maybe I should say "no" more often 🙄
@@guydesnoyers8417 i got you...no is not that easy after you have created a clientele of people who has now started to depend on you, plus with times so tricky, its hard to turn down the money...working at it tho..."Concentrating my forces"...so to speak...in any case keep up the good work fam, its a blessing to able to feed your family
Very Nice work Trailer!
Te quedo perfecta la traila bien ordenada!!
Thank you for your upload and your time..!
that you used to hang the squad?
?
@@RenovationsandRepair what do you use to hang the squad? I see you have some clips?
@@eddears r u talking about the speed squares? Had to do some googling.
What do you do for winter
I work inside customer houses
@@RenovationsandRepair We have "freezables" bins that we put all the freezable stuff in, like caulk, batteries, spray foam, etc. and the bins stay inside or in the heated truck and go in someone's house at night.
Outstanding
Semper Fi
Jack of all, master of none
the masters are my guys and subs, i just collect the money hehe
But often better than a master of one!
Very cool, but i have saying for guys that do a bit of every trade. “A little bit of everything, but good at nothing”.
Leaving money on the table if you are passing up the little things just because you identify as one trade. Though in general, I agree with your comment.
I was always taught to pick up a profession and kill it. Unfortunately i could not become a Doctor and a Finish Carpenter. Neither should you. I seen tons of phoney work get performed by so called multi tradesmen. Become a multitasker in your home, not on job sites. Stay in your lane. Cool setup if i didn’t mention it.
@@q-r6 The trades are not rocket science, what experience brings you is getting the job done faster without any loss of quality. If you work outside your "lane" just estimate your time accordingly and you'll be just fine.
3 things for all contract handymen:
- don’t just accept any job that comes up.
- don’t kid yourself, it’s important to do work properly.
- if you like rough work, do that. Finishing work, do that. If you just install windows & doors, etc, etc, etc.
Pretty good, eh? Now where’s my dbl dbl
Thats a load of crap, i cover MANY trades and my quality doesnt lack in any of them. On the other hand, i see liscensed plumbers around me doing shit work, and painters doing half ass work. I come behind and clean up after many "professionals".
Excellent trailer build! Anyone can tell you have put a lot of hard work and money into making that trailer a fine shop to work from.
I have said this before to other trailer owners, remember that loaded trailer is like crack cocaine to thieves.
They notice you on the job site, the supply house, when they walk on the sidewalk past you and even when it is parked at your house.
They will even try to steal it out of your own driveway while you sleep.
Unless you have a special rider on your insurance with each expensive tool listed out your insurance will not cover the loss.
I would put a 12 volt battery hidden inside and install a car alarm with a loud siren.
Some of them have motion detectors and they all have door switches.
Very few thieves are going to steal a trailer with a siren screaming at them.
I have two friends that lost everything they owned in trailers thefts.
Just be careful and do everything you can think of to stop criminals and enjoy your trailer.
Yeah I don't talk a lot about how I secure it for obvious reason. My battery bank provides all the 12v power I need for alarms and well...everything. Thanks for the view!
Much respect, that’s once production space. Do the drawers slide well? Have you ever considered drawer sliders?
They slide great. The heavier brewers I use wax to slide. Thwy all come right out smooth.
SearchingforSignalLLC I did not even think of that! You are brilliant. Thank you for sharing!
most boring 20 minutes of my life.. I was looking for build ideas, just decided I won't ever build anything so cramped and although your workmanship is great, I am not a fan of your 'super trailer'...thats life, I will look elsewhere, sorry.
James Thomas well what did you find lmao ?! My elbows have bruises just from looking at this cramped space🙆🏼♀️
