The Seymour post hole digger is the most amazing tool that no one knows about. You can add a 3/4 pipe extension and go deep.
Totally agree Jarrod! Glad I’m not the only one. Haha!
I need to figure out how to get that pipe extension now! 🤣
Fiskars makes a great post hole digger too! Their offset handles pretty much eliminate the problem you mentioned (scooping dirt out from deeper holes). They're very sturdy too.
Awesome video! Those tools make homesteading a lot easier! I would add a 5 gallon bucket to that list too!
I actually love that leatherman free! I also got it as a gift and im surprised how much I like that thing. My fave one with pliers is the skeletool. Really good knife, the carabiner is nice I love to clip it on my belt loop, super lightweight and you can choose what bits to put in it, and it has a place for an extra bit, no other leatherman with the bit holder has a spot for an extra bit. The pliers are there but honestly all leatherman pliers suck. A crappy needle nose combo plier that doesn't grip well, cut well, and the "handles" dig into your hand. A good option is the knipex mini cobras, just carry them with your leatherman free t4 and you'll be happy to have real pliers in your pocket.
Absolutely, the FREE is a great tool. But glad to now have my WAVE with the pliers. I have it on me at all times.
Love my leatherman wave.
Loved it. You were honest on what you liked and you included your family, bonus points for the family.
Oh THANK YOU for saying that! 😁😁
Thanks for the video very helpful! Can't wait to start more of your videos!! Love the content!
Awesome, thank you so much for watching Nic!!!
This was a good informational video. Some of us though, will be doing things more manually-very little to no gas, nor battery. Thumbs up.

Nailed it with the battery chainsaw. I bought a small Makita 18v on a whim and now use it 10x more than my Stihl saw. Would also encourage building a standardized battery powered tool set from the start. Dewalt, Milwaukee or Makita are great higher end brands but nothing wrong with Ryobi I see a lot of pro subcontractors using them and you’re not paying extra for a big name. Crazy how many tools they have on the same same battery systems these days.
Love it!!!!
Love the leatherman wave. Also have the leatherman st300. It’s big and bulky but if I forget something the st is in my truck and it will work.
Leatherman Skeletool 7-in-1 Multi tool....it has pliers.
I’m everything Craftsman tools!! Great brand and so strong! But love your list!
That’s so awesome Thomas! Love it, and thank you sooooo much!!!!
Leatherman squirt is a good one that has both scissors, pliers and is small
I really appreciate this vid. It helped me figure out a basic on what we will need before we work on the piece of land we are looking for. :)
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Oh that’s so awesome Rebeccah!!!! Thank you for commenting and letting us know you enjoyed it! 😁😁
Oh and CONGRATS on your new property!!!
@@BetterTogetherLife haven't gotten it yet(it's my fault...I'm very picky for what I'm looking for. Lol), but it's definitely a goal we want to meet soon!
Thank you though!
And anytime! If a video is good, it deserves a response!🥰
If you wan just a Leatherman then I would go for the Wave Plus but if you want a smaller set with pliers then I recommend the SOG Power Pint!
Thank you for this very informative video. We sell land mostly in rural areas and we'll let our clients know about this before finally starting their homestead journey. 🤠
We haven’t got our property as yet… however we are getting all these things you are talking about…actually we are running out of room at our current house.
We bought all Fiskers… I figured that my Fisker scissors are da bomb and cannot fault them, then the tools would be the same.
TO GET LIST:
Wide Fork - mulch/poop picker upper.
Channel lock fence pliers.
Battery Powered - Chainsaw, Staple Gun.
Post Hole digger…YAY, we have that👍🏼
Thank you for the tips☺️
This is soooooo AWESOME!!!!! Way to go Karren! 😁😁😁😁😁😁
I see a lot of Americans go either ryobi or Milwaukee, in Europe and Asia makita, dewalt and Bosch professional seem to be the main go to depending on the trade
They are all great for sure! My Ryobi’s are still going Great!! After almost 10 years.
Loved ur top 10 tools 🔧 you will need to have before you get a home stead.....
Awesome! Thank you so much!!!!!
This video is so perfectly timed for us. Just starting out on 5+ acres. We are also in the Ryobi family. They are like Apple products- once you’re in they’ve got you with the batteries 🤣 They all work together!!! Love em. Thanks for this. Love that post hole digger.
Garden and leaf rakes are absolutely necessary.
I recommend you think battery systems when getting cordless. I have the Greenworks 60V system. So I only need one or two batteries and one charger and they work in other tool families like hedge trimmer. leaf blower, etc. The same goes for cordless drill, skill saws, etc. Pick a brand and battery size then later as you expand you can by "bare tool" offers, tool only with no battery saving about $100 each time.
I 100% agree with you! Which is why I have gone so deep in Ryobi. Its what I started with, and its what I have continued with I guess. Thank you so much for your awesome comment Steve and thank you for watching!!! :)
Again, if you’re just starting get the nail/staple gun. Does both wonderfully. Idk if ryobi has one but that’s the way to go. I’m like Alton brown, no single use items.
Pretty good... All I would add is a spud bar (tamping bar)
Great suggestions, blessings from Ontario Canada.
Leatherman wave plus. Or the Free P4
The Leatherman with a fire starter is on my wishlist.
Oh Michelle, I gotta look at that one now!
Instead of the hammer try a t post driver & the t post remover. They are amazing tools!
Haha, you are the first one to notice. In that shot I had messed up and bought T posts that were too short, so I couldn’t use my T post driver because it kept hitting the cattle panel.
So I had to use the sledge hammer. 🤣🤣
Shout out to the Gorilla Dump Cart (farm stores and Amazon carry it) 600 lb capacity is easily moved by one person ... For reference, I'm a 5'0" and 130 lbs female and it's easier than a wheelbarrow if you're going to have to spend money anyway
Ooo! That’s on my wishlist-kelly
Hi.... Thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣 🐥🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐇🌱🏡🎥👍👍👍
Use tape on the hole digger to mark how deep you need a bunch of holes. Safe guess work.
For off-gridders a axe is one of the first tools you need especially for splitting wood, most off-gridders have a wood stove because it's free heat.
I totally agree and understand Suzanne!
My question is, wouldn’t you prefer a wood splitter then? But YES! I do love my axe, but down here in Texas I don’t use it often.
But that is why I put our axe in the video. 😁😁
@@BetterTogetherLife We don't all live in Texas, here in Canada this week was -32, then we got 1 1/2 feet of snow, it's nice to come in to a wood stove. As for the wood splitters, we all can't afford all these things, maybe when I become a youtube channel, I can earn more money to buy all those things from the support of youtube viewes.
Oh Suzanne, I don’t believe I was trying to be argumentative. Please forgive me if it came off that way. I am very very sorry.
I totally agree that many homesteaders have an axe in their must have tool list. Which is why I briefly put it in the video.
Thank you very much for your comment! I do truly appreciate you watching and commenting. It really means a lot and helps us!
Dewalt. Because it’s what I’ve always had and I have the chargers and batteries. But my sister in law can do everything I can with her ryobi. Big ryobi fan. Don’t down play your tools man. It does exactly what you need when you need it to.
Also. Don’t by gimmicky shovels. A shovel is a shovel. If it’s cheap, it’s made cheap. Spend once on a good heavy standard shovel and never buy another. Until you use it as a pry bar.
Leatherman Rebar
Oooooo! I need to check that one out!
How about doing a chainsaw vid for BEGINNERS??
Dude your railing on your deck is awesome did you build it?
We did!
@@BetterTogetherLife Do you think it would work for a deer fence if I used taller 4x4s? Looking for a way to make a nice looking deer fence for my garden
funny you talked about mulch on the homestead.. i have been watching back to eden paul gautschi who only uses wood chips in his garden and he has the richest soil in minerals. You should look up some of the videos and look into doing that on your homestead.
Buckets!
Ooooooohhhhhh YES!!!!!! Stephanie you are so right about buckets! 🤣🤣
I agree with all your tool except for the electric chainsaw. Gas power for me is the best. Gas chainsaws have more power.
Well…. I do believe that the majority of people will reach for the electric chainsaw that has “enough power” vs the gas that has “more power”.
Life on the homestead isn’t about taking down 3ft wide trees everyday. That’s being a full time lumberjack
Great tip on the post hole digger! Have been putting off a project b/c traditional ones suck.
Looks like there are 6" up to 12" versions. Which do you have and do you wish it was larger or smaller?
There should be a link in the video description to which one I bought, I can't remember the size. And the one I have is EXCELLENT! haha. Very happy with it!
Perfect. Looks line yours is the adjustable one...just ordered, thanks!
What about a T post driver???
I'm surprised a multitool with strong pliers isn't on the list. I know you briefly mention it but that is by Fer the most used tool for me. Pliers on my multitool for tying wire and my knife (boker kalashnikov with a D2 steel tanto blade)
Hi James, I am pretty sure I did say that I want a Leatherman with good pliers. I carry my small Leatherman everyday, but would love one with pliers for sure!
@@BetterTogetherLife you did. I'm just surprised it wasn't first. I bought this off brand mechanic multitool just for the pliers. Best purchase ever. I had a Gerber NXT Suspense...snapped the pliers in half fencing.
Watch2End&Comment
Do not go polymer on axe handles. Once it breaks it’s done. Wood handles my man.
How long does it take to get approved for the FB group? I am patiently waiting but it seems to be taking longer than most other FB groups I've joined.
Very sorry for the delay, what is your name on FB and I will approve you ASAP.
@@BetterTogetherLife Gallo-delaCruz Rod, and thanks for the repsonse.
Ok you should be in. I think the reason why it didn’t work is because you only answered one question.
But please let me know if you didn’t get in.
A hay fork.............
Yup! Super basic, and I thought I mentioned that but you are totally correct!
Letterman charge TTI +
Good afternoon sir, Just to let you know...
Ryobi battery power tools are made by Milwaukee. Milwaukee is the contractor brand ,then Ryobi is the next generation then comes Hart that Wal-Mart sell . Go to UA-cam VCG Construction. Go to Hart Power Tools at Walmart back on July 8,2020.You will be amazed at this video.
Oh that’s cool, thank you Scott.
But I don’t see a video. So are you saying that Milwaukee makes the Hart brand? I’ve seen those at Walmart and they look kind of cool.
Niiiiiiiiiice!! You should use a service such as Promo-SM!!!
A post pounder
What about a T post driver???
What about a T post driver???
Absolutely!!!!!! Great add!
