“Stud mark” should be called “BS Mark”, the magnet is finding the nail or screw heads designating where the stud is, I’ve been doing this for 30 years with a 50 cent rare earth magnet 🧲
@@Dustmuz1 Neither Stud Mark or a REM is going to get the job done then, but the chances of wood studs being used are extremely uncommon, right? Note: That's a legit question.
@@BoX08 wood and wood screws. I’ve never used wooden dowels/inserts beyond small projects and I’m highly skeptical that wooden dowels/inserts are actually used in building the structure of a house.
Did anyone notice that most of the shots of the level-ladder were in areas where you wouldn't need that feature if the base of the ladder weren't so wide?
That base board thingy is on many ladders, it's again for stability, it predated the leveling off feature. As for the video, it's simply to demonstrate what it's capable of doing. I think this one was a great idea.
The stud mark seems exactly like a stud finder. Also theres not complicated math involved they are often the same distance, its even marked on most tape measures.
LOL it's actually even WORSE than a stud finder! In my old building, for instance, we have wooden studs and the only metal in the walls are ELECTRICAL BOXES. If I used this in my house, it would mark every location of live wiring for me to drill into and set the building on fire!
I wonder how long the roof pitch hoppers last? The foam underneath seems like it might break down kinda quick with about 7 hours a day use. Either way, I'm going to see if my brother knows about these.
basically no different than having the angled roofer's knee pads. I can see an issue with somebody stepping off the end of one of those things or tripping, and off the roof they go. Something else to move around with both hands, and demanding to go from 3 points of contact to 2 points of contact to do so as well. They might have a use for holding stacked packs of shingles/boxes/water-coolers or tools so they don't slide/roll down off the roof , that is about it. IMO.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Nemo tools were probably named after Captain Nemo from Jules Verne's novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, just like the Nemo from Finding Nemo.

They have been around for decades it is not new, and no, they require n mait other than just washing them off/out when your done, just like you do with your pallet and knives.
I learned the taping tool way back in 1964! It was made by Ames Tools! Same design as the one here! They also invented and I used the boxes for finishing off flat seams and inside corners! Nothing new to see on this one!
That studmark is just a magnet with a bit of plastic molded to it. Its also not really finding studs, just the screws holding up the drywall. Depending on the construction there may not be screws on every stud (normaly yes but not always) and there's no garentee some idiot didnt pound a nail/screw in to hang something mid span that later got pushed in all the way and paint/walpapered over. seriously a cheep stud sensor will work more reliably and you know there's something back there when you use it.
The self loading nail hammer would’ve been great back in the 40’s-50’s … it really is some genius engineering 👍… it’s just that machinery and tech has already exceeded that.
There's a reason why people in construction still have hammers and screwdrivers. They serve many applications outside their obvious means. Like a swiss army knife. This hammer design just adds more compact utility to an effective tool in the trades.
@@jungoogie Does it, though? I think I agree with the OP on this one. Modern nail guns are powered by compressed air, I can't imagine this plastic looking hammer is driving framing nails in with anything less. Hammers are easy to carry around because they fit in a loop; Attach an air hose to the end of that hammer and that's no longer the case. Typically, you bring out the hammer to finish nailing something in the gun wouldn't drive all the way.. are you going to carry a second hammer for the nails this thing fails to drive completely? This thing also looks overly complicated to load with nails. You can load a rack of nails in a standard framing gun in less than 10 seconds, no disassembly required. Doesn't really qualify for the 'homeowner' category, either. That market is already captured by electric nail guns that don't suffer from the above mentioned issues. I like the idea generally speaking though.
@@evbbjones7 My premise points were in the diverse application of the hammer and of the potential to expand upon those applications. The video states this design was not a production model and I didn't state I was defending this particular model as is (edit: though design concept I think has potential). I was providing defense to the application of the hammer... as the tool has many uses outside hitting a nail. You have many questions and I appreciate your response, but I get the feeling you already know the answers to those questions to direct the conversation into rabbit holes of rabbit holes. Yes tools can be as simple or as complex as the tradesman can manage. What might work well for one may not for another. Blah blah (insert fart joke here).
@@jungoogie But.. it's not a hammer, lol. It's trying to be a nail gun that has the aesthetics of a hammer. You won't be hitting nails with this thing, so it's functionally worse at both jobs. I'm not sure I understand what 'applications' you think are present here, could you expand on that?

@@ianrobertson3419 Lol. I didn’t know that some pumps didn’t have those until I lived in South Carolina for a few years. 🤣 Those trigger locks save fingers in the Northern states during the Winter. Lol.
I do agree that most of these are not ingenious but quite a few are helpful/useful, however for thier price point not as much lol. Basically the only ones I would actually get/use is the pitch hopper and the speed deck, not cause it's hard to mark or.anything but cause I do think that it'd save time/make it easier. And if I actually did underwater stuff then def the Nemo tools, those are really cool
So how do you keep yourself from falling off the roof? Because I'm too scared to go up there but I see people looking so chill walking around on the roof seemingly with no concern!
Smart Level Ladder: Werner has been selling an attachment for their ladders that does the same thing for decades. Costs $30 per ladder leg. Roof Pitch Hopper: When I did roofing back in the 90's, we cut the legs off an old pair of jeans, stuffed it with foam or whatever and then taped them to our legs. Some used old pillows or couch cushions. No slipping. Basically free. Stud Mark: I've been using a magnet to find drywall fasteners under seem mud (Tells you where the drywall was screwed in to a stud) for thirty years. LiftRight: ...Or get a dude to do it with a normal dolly. Clepsydra: ... or go to harbor freight, buy a normal $4 wire wheel then use a length of rebar to bend the wire out. Lamello Tenso P-10: Oh great... another proprietary biscuit / Tenon / Dowell joiner. Just what the world needed. Hammer with Collated Nail Dispenser: Anyone who needs this probably already has a nail gun... which can reach tight corners and adjust how deep the mail goes in to the material. Nemo Power Tools: Okay yeah... those are pretty cool! Speedeck Pro: So I should toss away my collection of 2x4s with 8D nails driven through them at 3, 4 and 6 inch spacing and spend $40 each to replace them with these? Nope. Thingamejig Scribing Tool: So its a fancy scribe. I'll stick with my $4 one I bought 20 years ago from a thrift store, thanks. Columbia Drywall Automatic Taper: I've seen guys with these and they do make quick work of taping. Problem is they don't load the gap between drywall sheets, which can lead to cracking... so you still have to do that before you use this $1,400 gadget. They are also a pain to reload and clean.
The Nemo power tools are quite cool, but it's a very fringe market. Would be hard to sell any amount of them as you won't find many people who need power tools under water
$40 for the speed deck... 🤔 Couldn't you like drive some long nails through a piece of wood and make your very own custom speed deck in minutes for next to nothing? 🤣
why do we still get our information from talking heads who don't have a clue what they're talking about. the narrator doesn't know what a stud is? just like a news caster, which I never watch.
So I've actually used the last product for drywall and I hate drywall and I've only done it for possibly maybe 20 homes or maybe a little bit more and that machine is awesome but it takes you a good month of using it to even get to a point where you're just a little faster than normal. Once you get the hang of it yes it's a lot faster seriously! But you have to get good at it and you don't even want to know about cleaning it everyday or soaking it in water over lunch time probably isn't the best thing for longevity either so it's best to clean it out before lunch 😬😬
I remember seeing them in the early 80s. You couldn't buy them, they had to be "leased" and were called a "bazooka". The whole kit rented for over a thousand dollars a month iirc.
@@stevehairston9940 Yes! Ames taping tools had the original patent on them & you could lease just the bazooka or their entire set of drywall finishing tools! The good thing was they maintained them too at no additional cost!
That studmark thing pointed out something pretty obvious. I never thought about using magnets to hold on to the nails / screws holding the dry wall in place. I just tried running a small magnet over a stud with a small ND magnet and it got a pretty good hold on it. Simple way to hang up something lightweight without adding any holes or using adhesive.
Yeah im trying but he lives on the other side of the country, My parentes got devorced 2 years after i was born. So i have only ever seen him on the weekends, but still thanks for your advice, stay safe
Ok, the SpeedDeck thing is ingenious but having done plenty of decks in my life, it can be extremely tedious and very hard to get the gaps exactly the same down the length of a deck-board.
7:47 Not true, aluminium does rust, actually it rusts faster than you could probably see. It's just that it doesn't normally inhibit the tool's ability to perform, and looks almost no different to unoxidized aluminium. So, to say that it is "Guaranteed not to rust" is false, but what you could say is that it has a lifetime guarantee or the blade will last many years before needing replacing? They may have said it will never rust because the target market is so used to steel tools, and if they cheap out on Chinese made gear it rusts very quickly and gets a brownish colour, while aluminium will look very similar to its original form when oxidised.
@@ianrobertson3419 He's kinda right, actually, in the technical way. Aluminum does rust. It's oxidizes in a different way than Steel or other metals, but Aluminum oxide is a real thing. The difference being that Aluminum oxide actually protects the underlying aluminum and doesn't flake off. Iron oxide degrades the underlying Steel, and it makes the metals actually fall apart. Both are considered "rust". But he's wrong about the "blade would last many years" part of his complaint. This has everything to do with edge sharpness rather than the degradation of the aluminum itself.
@@LordBLB rust specifically implies ferrous metals. I have plenty of experience with aluminium and alloys and the treating and prevention of corrosion. The only time you'll see rust on aluminium is when there are ferrous inclusions in the base metal.
I've been looking for something like the roof pitch hopper for a while. I bet I can't buy them around here though. Ooh, starting at $95? I'll probably wait for the knockoffs.
can't you just use your imagination? Just imagine that you're too lazy to hold a nail in one hand and a hammer in the other, but not lazy enough to use a nail gun...
some of these things are just WAY over engineered, solving problems that aren't even real problems. 8:25 being an example. The complexity of this thing and the maintenance it must involve would surely make this thing pointless. There's no drywall contractor in the world that would bother with this thing. A professional drywaller has no problem spackling and filling those seems in a short time. It seems like this was designed by someone who sucks at drywall.
That last one been around for years,, my dad was a drywall finisher for bout 30 years and when I was a kid I remember him using one and I know that was over 20 years.
Figured it would be out of the question for a homeowner like me who uses a wheeler a few times a year max moving things in and out of the basement, but for hospitality industry suppliers and others doing multiple deliveries every day in urban areas that involve flights of stairs, $5k or better can still look pretty cheap at the price compared to the cost of just one worker compensation claim.
Probably geared more towards businesses, not personal use. $3000 for a handtruck is a lot cheaper than paying someone's medical bills bc they fell down a flight of stairs.
@@MrPendell I know several restaurants that would love to buy that they have to send people down the stairs every time their wine shipment comes in and take the boxes up in teams especially since the price of the wine is not worth the risk in dropping the box. So yeah this will easily be much faster safer and avoid any worker compensation claims from getting injured.
The last one is called a Bazooka, doesn't use putty, it uses a lime based drywall mud, and has been around for a few years now. Hells, I used one of 'em at Job Corps back in 2015.
I wish someone would invent a long reach pole that can squeeze a spray bottle. Example: I will put mint into a spray bottle to spray just under the roof of my second story. Currently I use a ladder. I wish there was a pole that could be extended and hold a spray bottle and squeeze the trigger.
for something you hammer on, I'd start with a material other than plastic. even that injection molded one wont last very long being whacked with a steel hammer. a piece of scrap wood and some screws or nails, that's all you need. people who do this type of work know this. they don't use an overpriced plastic spacer
Great vid. I was using something similar to the stair climber 20 years ago. I think we called it a stair walker but instead of the bar it had a second set of wheels. The Lamello tenso P-10? I use a biscuit joiner! How much to for the plasterboard taping thing? All the best............
Bit misleading on the lamello jointer saying it’s 80dollars 😂 maybe for some clips yeah but in what is in fact a fancy biscuit jointer it will set you back best part of 2000 dollars!!!
I could have swore that there was already a hammer that you could load with nails and save your fingers from possible injury. I mean anyone with their weight in hammering could do the job without having to hurt themselves but I guess anything to sell an over priced hammer at the end of the day.
Did people who filmed the Lamello tenso P-10 section know what they were doing? It failed in all promotion purposes by misguiding a unique and good product to a biscuit joiner!
A good drywaller can put up tape and putty much quicker than that machine probably takes to clean afterward and for $1450 you would have to be doing a lot of drywall before it paid for itself considering most drywall installers are day laborers
For someone to say "NEMO FROM ANIMATED MOVIE.." is disturbing... CAPTAIN NEMO was the character of JULES VERNE !! Just to establish my distain from THE IGNORANCE of this generation in spite of THE HI-TECH!!
2:05 THE 'STUDMARK' DOESN'T FIND THE STUD It finds the screws that were installed in the stud to hang the dry wall. Very misleading. If someone where to try and drill or hang something exactly on that magnetic spot, they would be in for a VERY rude awaking
Not sure I get your point. The drywall screws are screwed into the studs. I use a similar device all the time. It's small, cheap, accurate, and sticks to my metal toolbox. Works great.
Nah that ladder was literally only $50 more than most high strength aluminum ladders nowadays and I thought at first that the pad for roofing was overpriced but then if you really think about how long it's supposed to last considering it's taking all that weight on shingles which will tear anything to pieces it's not a bad deal.
@@treygreene2546 I kind of liked the ladder, but its legs (foot?) weren't really designed very well. Most of the times that I've had to deal with uneven surfaces, the problem was uneven dirt and/or dirt that was softer under one leg or the other. I think it may have just as much difficulty dealing with that as a regular extension ladder. But, you are right, the price isn't too bad.
"Nemo" in Nemo Power Tools may also refer to Captain Nemo from "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, which is where Disney got the name in the first place.
the lamello machine is deffo not 80 dollars, one of those will cost you about a grand, and the lamello tenso's cost about 2 dollar per connection. it's an awesome tool as well as the other methods for the lammello Zeta P2 escpecialy if you need to be able to tear it down later to move it to the jobsite.

@@stevehairston9940 Yes! Ames taping tools had the original patent on them & you could lease just the bazooka or their entire set of drywall finishing tools! The good thing was they maintained them too at no additional cost!
Thanks for saying the price after each item..
That studmark thing pointed out something pretty obvious. I never thought about using magnets to hold on to the nails / screws holding the dry wall in place. I just tried running a small magnet over a stud with a small ND magnet and it got a pretty good hold on it. Simple way to hang up something lightweight without adding any holes or using adhesive.
I have been using one for a years. It's the only stud finder I use. Even through tiles for a grab bar for example
I cant be the only guy watching this only so I can impress my 50yo handyman dad, and be the mans man that he never really got.
You need to hang out with your Dad more, Son. One day he's not going to be there to pass along his wisdom. Its never too late.
@@OldSaltyBear that's a fact
Yeah im trying but he lives on the other side of the country, My parentes got devorced 2 years after i was born. So i have only ever seen him on the weekends, but still thanks for your advice, stay safe
Roof pitch hopper looks suspiciously like those liberator wedge adult xxx pillows 😂😂
I had a gutter crew tell me it's like they've always wanted.
That cart lifter looks fantastic if it works.
Whos going to tell the hammer guy about nail guns? Hopefully he didn't sink his life savings into that.
there's also a thing called a slap stapler. does the same thing but with staples
i love your contents it so re💛💛💛
Ok, the SpeedDeck thing is ingenious but having done plenty of decks in my life, it can be extremely tedious and very hard to get the gaps exactly the same down the length of a deck-board.
2:34 lol i was useing stair walkers back in 2009 delivering photocopiers for 'Copyshift'
Columbia drywall taper has been around for 20 years
7:47 Not true, aluminium does rust, actually it rusts faster than you could probably see. It's just that it doesn't normally inhibit the tool's ability to perform, and looks almost no different to unoxidized aluminium. So, to say that it is "Guaranteed not to rust" is false, but what you could say is that it has a lifetime guarantee or the blade will last many years before needing replacing? They may have said it will never rust because the target market is so used to steel tools, and if they cheap out on Chinese made gear it rusts very quickly and gets a brownish colour, while aluminium will look very similar to its original form when oxidised.
Rust is oxidation of ferrous metals. No ferrous metals=no rust.
@@ianrobertson3419 He's kinda right, actually, in the technical way. Aluminum does rust. It's oxidizes in a different way than Steel or other metals, but Aluminum oxide is a real thing. The difference being that Aluminum oxide actually protects the underlying aluminum and doesn't flake off. Iron oxide degrades the underlying Steel, and it makes the metals actually fall apart. Both are considered "rust".
But he's wrong about the "blade would last many years" part of his complaint. This has everything to do with edge sharpness rather than the degradation of the aluminum itself.
@@LordBLB rust specifically implies ferrous metals. I have plenty of experience with aluminium and alloys and the treating and prevention of corrosion. The only time you'll see rust on aluminium is when there are ferrous inclusions in the base metal.
I've been looking for something like the roof pitch hopper for a while. I bet I can't buy them around here though.
Ooh, starting at $95? I'll probably wait for the knockoffs.
Look up something called a ladder pivot tool. You can use it on a staircase as well.
@@joeschmuckatelli3198 Also a little pricey. I'll probably just go with the old sofa cushion.
The drywall bazooka, last tool on your list, is over 20 years old
Man, I saw that and had to laugh. I was first introduced to the Bazooka in 1986 and it worked the same way. Not sure how this is new
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
5:05 It doesn't even show him USING it!!!
can't you just use your imagination? Just imagine that you're too lazy to hold a nail in one hand and a hammer in the other, but not lazy enough to use a nail gun...
some of these things are just WAY over engineered, solving problems that aren't even real problems. 8:25 being an example. The complexity of this thing and the maintenance it must involve would surely make this thing pointless. There's no drywall contractor in the world that would bother with this thing. A professional drywaller has no problem spackling and filling those seems in a short time. It seems like this was designed by someone who sucks at drywall.
Nice video
I made a roof pitch stand last year, but they talked me down after a few hours.
A last stand. If standing means kneeling.
i did too ... he struck out his first 3 batters
That last one been around for years,, my dad was a drywall finisher for bout 30 years and when I was a kid I remember him using one and I know that was over 20 years.
Whoever thought the C120 Stair Climber was a great and wonderful idea forget about it is $3,000 🤣🤣🤣
Figured it would be out of the question for a homeowner like me who uses a wheeler a few times a year max moving things in and out of the basement, but for hospitality industry suppliers and others doing multiple deliveries every day in urban areas that involve flights of stairs, $5k or better can still look pretty cheap at the price compared to the cost of just one worker compensation claim.
Probably geared more towards businesses, not personal use. $3000 for a handtruck is a lot cheaper than paying someone's medical bills bc they fell down a flight of stairs.
@@MrPendell I know several restaurants that would love to buy that they have to send people down the stairs every time their wine shipment comes in and take the boxes up in teams especially since the price of the wine is not worth the risk in dropping the box. So yeah this will easily be much faster safer and avoid any worker compensation claims from getting injured.
Jesus loves you so much....
Smart ladder - great idea not so great price - way too expensive.
Add the leveller to the ladder and make it wider, so the leveller can be useful.
8:49 Masking tape for drywall joints? Lol
Pretty cool stuff
why am I watching this unironically? I got no school and I am watching this...
The last one is called a Bazooka, doesn't use putty, it uses a lime based drywall mud, and has been around for a few years now. Hells, I used one of 'em at Job Corps back in 2015.
Stair lift dolly in a modern building which by code must have a lift to all levels. Hmm...
:45 ...and there's no level under the bottom rung. Genius!
Wow, you just take my thumbnail and other peoples video content to make yours!? No request, Mention or even video links to the original content.
I wish someone would invent a long reach pole that can squeeze a spray bottle. Example: I will put mint into a spray bottle to spray just under the roof of my second story. Currently I use a ladder. I wish there was a pole that could be extended and hold a spray bottle and squeeze the trigger.
7:14 for something you could 3d print for like max 5$ that is way too much.
for something you hammer on, I'd start with a material other than plastic. even that injection molded one wont last very long being whacked with a steel hammer. a piece of scrap wood and some screws or nails, that's all you need. people who do this type of work know this. they don't use an overpriced plastic spacer
We just got some pitch-hoppers, they work great!
What knee pads is the roof guy wearing?
$1400 for the taping tool. Outrageous
Ruler and complicated plans?! Or a magnet just like whats inside
Some are great, some are jokes, some too expensive for what they are.
The one with the wire wheel
Is user error, they are just not sure how to buff that shit , no need for an over priced bulky buffer wheel
Also, I expect that with use the center wires will bend more that the edge wires and create an inefficient groove.
Good one.
1:37 Going to just assume that guy isn't an actual roofer.
Those roof tools are great but scary when you use them. They feel like they will slip.
$1450! I'm slayed :'D
Great vid. I was using something similar to the stair climber 20 years ago. I think we called it a stair walker but instead of the bar it had a second set of wheels. The Lamello tenso P-10? I use a biscuit joiner! How much to for the plasterboard taping thing? All the best............
I have the yellow pitch hopper. I think they should only make yellow for safety
Then only buy yellow and let everyone else decide for themselves.
Safety first when on a roof even more so on steep roofs
Wasn’t thinking about the stud hopper when they showed that horrible bookshelf haha
You've got to be kidding me! "Nemo from the animated movie"??? What about the book by Jules Vern?
That had me laughing so hard! You have partially restored my faith in humanity!
Bit misleading on the lamello jointer saying it’s 80dollars 😂 maybe for some clips yeah but in what is in fact a fancy biscuit jointer it will set you back best part of 2000 dollars!!!
I could have swore that there was already a hammer that you could load with nails and save your fingers from possible injury. I mean anyone with their weight in hammering could do the job without having to hurt themselves but I guess anything to sell an over priced hammer at the end of the day.
The drywall gun tape machine has been around for decades and decades if not a century. Not a new idea at all
Stud Mark is pretty studly.
“Hey, put down that brain of yours…”
Did people who filmed the Lamello tenso P-10 section know what they were doing? It failed in all promotion purposes by misguiding a unique and good product to a biscuit joiner!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
A good drywaller can put up tape and putty much quicker than that machine probably takes to clean afterward and for $1450 you would have to be doing a lot of drywall before it paid for itself considering most drywall installers are day laborers
I forsee osha getting involved on the NEMO underwater tools. how the hell are ya gonna wear safety glasses underwater like that??!!
2:38 every bass player on the planet that saw this felt instant back relief
For someone to say "NEMO FROM ANIMATED MOVIE.." is disturbing... CAPTAIN NEMO was the character of JULES VERNE !! Just to establish my distain from THE IGNORANCE of this generation in spite of THE HI-TECH!!
Calm down old-timer.
2:05 THE 'STUDMARK' DOESN'T FIND THE STUD
It finds the screws that were installed in the stud to hang the dry wall. Very misleading. If someone where to try and drill or hang something exactly on that magnetic spot, they would be in for a VERY rude awaking
Not sure I get your point. The drywall screws are screwed into the studs. I use a similar device all the time. It's small, cheap, accurate, and sticks to my metal toolbox. Works great.
A few decent ideas, but these are all overpriced items that serve in only limited situations.
Nah that ladder was literally only $50 more than most high strength aluminum ladders nowadays and I thought at first that the pad for roofing was overpriced but then if you really think about how long it's supposed to last considering it's taking all that weight on shingles which will tear anything to pieces it's not a bad deal.
@@treygreene2546 I kind of liked the ladder, but its legs (foot?) weren't really designed very well. Most of the times that I've had to deal with uneven surfaces, the problem was uneven dirt and/or dirt that was softer under one leg or the other. I think it may have just as much difficulty dealing with that as a regular extension ladder. But, you are right, the price isn't too bad.
@@kirkjohnson6638
The ladder needs a 6'8 " caddy to place it
@@twobeards6714 What is this caddy thing that you mentioned?
7:20 - Apparently discontinued :(
Nemo Those tools, As a pirate Hawr hawr hawr Rechargable wireless underwater power tools.

I made a roof pitch stand out of wood 20 years ago. I named it ( the roof mate) 😆
What did you use for the grips?
Hammer time
Such smart ideas seen in each product to elevate the comparative values that cap similar ones sound fantastic.
New stuff and twice the price of the old stuff.
gives me some ideas for creating my own DIY versions.
That dry wall putty tool going to malfunction fast.
👍😎🍺🍩🛠️
That ladder is trash. There are much better leveling legs and much sturdier ladders.
nemo doesn't come from the finding nemo movie it comes from capt Nemo of 20.000 leagues under the sea
"Nemo" in Nemo Power Tools may also refer to Captain Nemo from "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" by Jules Verne, which is where Disney got the name in the first place.
Much better reference.
thanks you!
I wanted to say this. 😢
I know the diver using the underwear power tool is wearing his safety goggles 🥽 but why no safety gloves 🧤🤷🏻♂️
Powered/step climbing cargo dollies have been around a while. 30+ years
I've never had an issue with studs, houses here aren't made out of toilet roll tubes and pva glue
the lamello machine is deffo not 80 dollars, one of those will cost you about a grand, and the lamello tenso's cost about 2 dollar per connection. it's an awesome tool as well as the other methods for the lammello Zeta P2 escpecialy if you need to be able to tear it down later to move it to the jobsite.
great, cut the job time down to half and keep making the same amount of money?
Stud Mark, for people who dont know what a magnet and a pencil is.
