Thanks. I am 75 and I learned a few more things!

Respect

Got a ton of deckmate screws to remove and replace in my deck but they've stopped selling the ol' blue bit!!! Now its another color and these screws are all torx! So your tip using the needlenose for spinners will come in handy. Went on a wild goose chase trying to find the blue driver bits recently. They're extinct.

AWESOME VIDEO, ESPECIALLY FOR PPL LIKE ME WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TOOLS ARE GREAT FOR DYI-ERS. I WANTED TO GET MY NEPHEW SOME TOOLS HE CAN USE FOR CARPENTRY & THIS VIDEO IS EXCELLENT IN GIVING ME IDEAS. THANK YOU!

Awesome tips!!! Thanks 😊

Great! Some tips & tricks I already used, few new tips & tricks were new to me. My most used: 1.) safe nails and reuse old curved nails hammer them straight again when holding it with your (needle nose) pliers. But this works best with soft metal nails, and not so perfect with hard metal nails (baseboard nails).
2.) when sewing/cutting/drilling clamp the workpiece so that the cutted/sewed/drilled side is free, not laying on other material (table desktop etc), this way you don't need to waste "sacrificial plate" below it.
3.) Nail holded by pliers when hammering is also good in narrow spaces.

They need to add 5/6 to the drive when the rod is removed

Love this expert. 72 yo diy'er female from Adelaide South Australia. Always learning from this page. 😊

This man is a hero

One of the most overlooked tricks is using the magnetics of your (quality) level as a stud finder. Just glide it over sheet rock and you’ll feel your magnet grab the nail/screw. There is also the studball tool you can buy that’s even better!

if you are dismantling a pallet, and don't own a prybar, spade shovel works in a pinch

Well I watched about 7 seconds of the video then more ads - better luck next time
