For permeant markers, I really like the Clog-Resistant Jobsite Permanent Markers from Harbor Freight. They come in a two-pack (currently on sale for 99 cents). They are almost impossible to dry out. They claim that the cap can be left off for up to 6 days without drying out. The only thing I don't like is that they only come in black.

there's a specific dewalt locking bit holder I use because the mechanism is inline and provides the smallest possible profile. Figured I'd mention it incase anyone else has a similar need.

I’ve used the FastCap Lefty/Righty for years..it’s a great shop tape…and if you’re dyslexic like I am, it’ll save you bunches of money on hardwoods.😂

When it comes to tape measures. Using Centimetre or millimetre measurements you cant go wrong.

Oddly enough the Harbor Freight sharpies have held up pretty well for me so far.

You did not mention on the fastcap tape measure that there is a built-in pencil sharpener that is so handy every time. It also has a second button on the underside that you can push to slow your tape rewind down, so it is not whipping when it comes back at you from a distance.They are the handiest tape I’ve used. I even bought a few as gifts for relatives that would appreciate having a great tape.

The Diablo mesh sandpaper comes with a pad in each pack of 10. The pad sticks onto the sander, then the sandpaper sticks to the pad.

I think every one of those suggestions were on point. The two I can give a double thumbs up to are the vix bits and the 90 degree drill adapter. Both cost so little but are so critical in certain situations I think every home owner let alone woodworker needs them. I used my 90 degree adapter for only the second time yesterday for drilling a few pocket holes inside a narrow cabinet that I somehow overlooked before I assembled them. With the drill bit in the drill i didn’t have enough room to get the drill behind and into the jig. The adapter did the job.

crap, watching this video has now cost me more money! Just saw another tool I have to have! Good Job!

Like that locking bit holder! Some of my magnetic bit holders require a pair of pliers to remove the bit. The retaining ring inside locks onto the notches on the bit and doesnt want to let go!

I've used the right angle bit holder for over 20 years, I first used it at an Aerospace company and it was a Milwaukee one, so I got one for myself.

Greetings. I love your glue bottle device. Being a mechanical designer, I thought that for your wall mounted version, if you added a flange to the right side as well you could put Peg board spaced holes in top two, the bottom two could be offset for tilt stability when wall mounting.
Informative show, Thanks

That is a great tip! Using the Last Drop glue dock for shampoo bottles is a perfect way to get every bit of product out without any waste.

This is the 1st video of yours I’ve seen. I’ll be watching more.

@Greg8872 2 months ago

@11:50 tip! before you close the tip to put the bottles back in the holder, give them a slight squeeze as you do it, so in case temp changes happen between now and next time you use, so if it is warmer, you don't get glob popping out from the pressure in the bottle, since they had a slight squeese, the botttle has room to expand
