Oh and another takeaway, if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified. Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course sso.teachable.com/secure/245841/checkout/1320802/b… I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.

    That rebar tying gun is game changer.

    $75,000 for a triaxle dump truck to move my own dirt to and from jobsites . Figured out the truck by itself Made half the money back in the first 5 months of owning it. No more waiting on delivery truck or running twice as many loads in my smaller truck. Saves on fuel and can work when I want as late or early as I want. Also hiring it out to other guys in my winter downtime at $1,000 per day . Was scary in the beginning but so happy I took the gamble! Great video!

    2000 NZD for a David White rotary laser level a good 20 years ago. I was setting out a split level house on a steep section with a dumpy level and a long stick clamped to a saw stool.... by myself. That level earned its keep on that job alone. I needed only one profile along the level top and one along the easiest sloping side and squared everything (poles) off with the level. I still have it, but recently bought a cheap 3/360 green laser level off Aliexpress to keep in my van for quick everyday use. I love that thing as well. Use it quite a bit.
  • We use a lot of cement fibre boards in Australia. I spent good money on some cement board shears, no dust, no noise and little clear up. Great for avoiding silicosis.

    A Veto Techpack, a $600 backpack with inserts but I save so much time always having my tools organized on the go.

    About to start a three car garage as a home builder with help. This very timely. You also are doing a great job instructing.

    I love her yawn to your singing lol 😆. Haven't been up on that hike for years. Looks beautiful.
  • Loved the singing was awesome. It’s funny we listen to a lot of music at work so I get to know just about every song word for word!😂😂
  • As a roofer, the tool I bought that was a game changer for me was the AJC Mag-hatchet. I don't know how I ever lived without it now that I've had it for a few years.
  • Bought a sawstop cabinet saw, painful on the wallet but not on the fingers, and it’s a dream to run.
  • @totheriver
    Always feel smarter at the end of your videos, like I’ve been in class walking away with more knowledge. My cry once tool is a $380 hultafors wrecking bar, no other tool can do what it does but I still can’t get over the price for what it is
  • Chief Architect Design Software. For 10 years I hand drew my home plans. Then purchased AutoCAD LT....and finally got smart and went 3D and design every project with CA X-15 design software. Total cost over the last ten years has been $9,000 in software purchases and upgrades, and about $30,000 in computers...nothing low end about the computers; PCs and laptops every 4 years.

    Paslode XP framing nailer, cost me $400 including the initial fuel charges, greatly speeds up framing work and makes it easier, especially when we are on ladders or on top of walls
  • @scssarge4409
    I say that if you truly need then just buy and make your life easy in saving money in long term.
  • LCD sound system? Sweet job site And somehow I had Pioneer Builders as my T ball sponsor many years ago. PNW.
  • Hello Tim, Absolutely love you channel (more long form content please) In answer to you question - everything Festool that I own was a shock but worth every penny (from the UK). Keep up the great work Gerard
  • @zephyr1408
    Festool Kapex w/ wings and stand $3000 plus! Went from packing 80 pound 12” Makita , plus 30 pound stand , and 50 pound fast cap wings ! Now ? 56 pounds and dead nutz accuracy on my Moulding cuts! I bought the 26 vac system w/ it ! Hepa filter which now I don’t breathe as much MDF dust!
