It’s just effortless with the Makita rebar tier • This is their 18v deep tier, they have a 16g coming out soon that runs on the XGT 40v platform • This deep tier really pulls the rebar tight @Makita Tools USA @Makita Canada Inc. . . . #tools #construction #concrete #rebartier #makita #makitatools
Talk about a compact portable pressure washer! • This @EGO is the smallest I’ve seen with this type of pressure • 2100 psi with 1.2 gpm • You can hook it up to a hose or siphon from a bucket or jug • It really came handy when I had a vehicle in a car show and it rained all the way there, I rinsed it off with this and pulled into the building . . . #tools #construction #egopowerplus #pressurewasher #clean #cleaning #Summer #yardwork
Years ago I got messages to try out one of these paint cut in pads • The first one we tried was actually pretty decent, I’ve picked up a lot of different brands since then and have always been disappointed • Picked this quick solutions one from @sherwinwilliams and both Dave and I agree this is the best one we’ve seen • We do cut in by hand but if you don’t like to this could be the answer
I thought I’d do a runtime test with the Makita 80v breaker but it didn’t even break a sweat • I can hardly believe it was still showing full batteries on both 8ah 40v’s • This thing hits hard and the Anti vibration technology (AVT) makes all the difference • Now it’s time for the worst part, cleaning this up @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitapartner #makitatools #concrete
Today we measure things by hand • As you can see this 16-5/16 blade on this Cordless 40v XGT saw is massive! • 6-1/4 cutting capacity at 90° and 4-3/16 at 45° This saw is now available in North America @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitatools #framing
Check out this Ryobi Dual function lighted creeper/seat • It has 2 light that run off the 18v battery, they can be spot or flood lights and are 400 lumens on high • It also had the Link mount on the side for adding bins or accessories • It went together quick and the wheels are bigger and roll super smooth. Weight capacity is 400 lbs @RYOBI Tools USA @RYOBI Canada . . . #tools #construction #ryobi #ryobitools #ryobination #mechanic #DIY
Here’s the @PeakSuspension summit front suspension that I put on the 4Runner • These are adjustable and have it the lift I needed to fit the bigger wheels • The kit also comes with an upper control arm. • The ride from the previous shocks is night and day. Super smooth for daily driving and great articulation and handles the trails with ease! • Great part is these are aluminum so they won’t be rusting like other brands over a couple winters • After I torque with the @gearwrenchtools wrench I give a quick mark with a paint pen so I know it’s been done. I tend to second guess myself. You can get this setup @4Runner Lifestyle . . . #tools #mechanic #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools #peaksuspension #offroad #4runner #4runnerlifestyle
We’ve all had nails blow out the side of material • Try turning your nailer 90° and it will likely not happen. Pins, Brad and some finishing nails have a chiseled end so sometimes they take off to the side. • Here’s the @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA 16g 20° finish nailer, quick depth adjustment and lots of lights on this. The tiny 2.0 stacked battery keeps the weight down . . . #tools #construction #flexpowertools #carpentry
This is genius! Continues Bag system from @Hilti North America • I wanted to show that even with super fine dust the filter won’t plug up because it taps itself out well working • There is now no pulling the vac apart to clean out the canister, just zip tie the bottom of the bag, cut it and get back to work! • This system worked amazing for grinding floors and I know it would work the same for drywall dust . . . #tools #construction #Hilti #hiltitools #hiltipartner #flooring #concrete
After having so much trouble with my shoulders this @Hilti North America Exo-S shoulder Exoskeleton has been very welcome • It’s lightweight and doesn’t need any batteries to work • It helps support your arms working overhead and takes a good amount of the weight off • This paired with their drywall sander is a really slick combo. . . . #tools #construction #drywall #hilti #hiltitools
Our second summer with this @EGO Bike • I thought it was going to be more of a kids bike but that’s not the case at all • It runs on the same batteries as all their tools like the mowers and snow blowers • It’s been great for ripping around on the gravel roads and trails
Installing the @PeakSuspension Summit kit to give the 4Runner a better ride on and off road as well as lift it up for bigger wheels • Here I’m swapping out the back shocks and adding the adjustable coil spring that comes with the kit • The Runner is sitting a bit high in the back but once we add everything we have planned it will lower • Next week I’ll post the fronts and tell you what I think of the new setup @gearwrenchtools@FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA . . . #offroad #peaksuspension #tools #mechanic #4runner #4runnerlifestyle #toyota #suspension
Check out this Ryobi Telescoping pole pump • Now obviously it doesn’t have enough pressure to wash your car but it’s perfect for watering the flowerbed out of this rain barrel • It even has a timer for 5-15 minutes so we hooked it up to this little sprinkler • It will do 15 gallons a minute and run for 26 minutes on a 2ah battery @RYOBI Tools USA @RYOBI Canada . . . #tools #yardwork #ryobi #ryobitools
The Makita framing nailer is here!!! Just after we finish framing a basement haha • But here it is on bump fire mode easily sinking these 3-1/4 ardox nails • Now this one is the full head 21°, in Canada most of us use clipped 30° nails. So far from looking around only this 21° is available for preorder at stores but I’m sure the 30° will be coming. • This is an 18v LXT tool, I know a lot of Makita users were scared when 40v XGT was announced that Makita would abandon the 18v lineup but they certainly haven’t. I’m sure they will eventually drop a XGT nailer too @Makita Tools USA @Makita Canada Inc. . . . #tools #construction #framing #makita #makitatools #makitaframingnailer
A ladder to climb on the roof if I drive in a river is an absolute necessity • This the @Prinsu Design Studio 4Runner ladder, super easy to assemble and install, the only thing is making sure you drill the holes in the right place. • My 6 year old daughter is gonna love climbing this thing, maybe I should by the first to add a slide? • Best part is this will work with the @CBI Offroad Fab swing out bumper we are putting on • @gearwrenchtools 🤘 . . . #tools #construction #gearwrenchpartner #mechanic #cbi #prinsu #offroad #4runner #toyota4runnertrdoffroad
Here’s the original Makita Deep tying Rebar Tier The second one is the New 16ga Rebar tier that uses the 40v XGT battery • This one uses one wrap of 16ga making is stronger, quicker and less wire @Makita Tools USA @Makita Canada Inc. . . . #tools #construction #makita #concrete #rebar #rebartying
Crescent just launch a New ShockForce Nite Eyes tape measure • This one has a Flatter STABLEWING blade design which provides greater stability and rollover resistance • The sides of the blade are flattened, I haven’t personally seen a design like this before. It does seem to be more sturdy • I also like that it has grit on the hook for better grip @Crescent Tools . . . #tools #construction #crescenttools
It’s doesn’t get any easier than a auto taper • This is the 2nd gen @LEVEL5 Tools with a quick clean head • You just pump it full of mud, put tape on the reel and it does the rest. • There is a short learning curve but they have a ton of resources on the YouTube channel that explains everything . . . #tools #construction #drywall #level5tools
Installed the @Prinsu Design Studio Pro roof rack on the 4runner • So many fasteners but the @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA 3/8 impact wrench on low with a @gearwrenchtools Allen key socket made quick work of it • Dad came up with a great idea of zip tying some pole to the rack so we didn’t have to lean in so much to put the rack on top • It’s utilizes the holes from the factory rack so there is no drilling involved • Now Im ready for some lights and a roof top tent . . . #tools #construction #Gearwrench #prinsu #roofrack #4runner #toyota4runner
Last minute Father’s Day gift!!! • This isn’t just a small powerbank from @gearwrenchtools its also a jump starter • It’s 1200 amps and will do up to most V6 vehicles • It also has a light on it and comes with a storage bag, perfect to keep in your glove box • I got some electrical gremlins in this Yamaha Grizzly, when it’s not started for a bit it has trouble. Then it starts perfect the rest of the day. I even put a new battery in it. Maybe it’s the starter . . . #tools #mechanic #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools #FathersDay #giftidea
