Recommended Tools and Products

Hello, I’ve been wood working since I was a young boy of 10. My first project was a 3d illuminated star that I dreamed up one day! My parents were so amazed that I could come up with that idea and had the skills to create it by myself. At that point I was hooked. I’ve also been a professional dealership mechanic for 39 years but have always continued my passion for wood working and anything to do home repair. That being said I know the importance of the old saying “The right tool for the right job” And I agree 100%.. I’m not here to “sell” you anything but through my experience I’ve come up with a few of my favorite tools and products that work for me. Thanks

Walabot DIY 2 Advanced Stud Finder and Wall Scanner and Detector
FACT Before you poke anything into a wall you should know what’s in there! This is 100% my favorite tool.
I have personally tried so many different brands in all price ranges and this by far is the best I’ve used for a clear informed image of what’s hiding in the walls.

Zircon MetalliScanner m40 Metal/Stud Finder 62518 image
Zircon MetalliScanner m40 Handheld Electronic Metal
The best tool for detecting studs in a Lath and
Plaster wall is without a doubt the
Zircon MetalliScanner m40 Handheld Electronic Metal.
It works by detecting the nails that holds the Lath to the studs.
If you find a vertical row of nails that’s your stud.

DEWALT Miter Saw Stand With Wheels (DWX726), Yellow
like peanut butter and jelly… The matching stand is a plus! Not only does it get your work off the ground but it makes the saw portable as well. The Hydraulic piston really helps with safely raising and lowering the saw.

DEWALT 20V MAX Power Tool Combo Kitimage
DEWALT 20V MAX Power Tool Combo Kit, 9-Tool Cordless Power Tool Set with 2 Batteries and Charger (DCK940D2)
After many years of buying all different brands of cordless tools and searching for the correct chargers/batteries for my random tool collection and getting frustrated bringing the wrong chargers with me I decided to sell all my random stuff at a yard sale and get one brand so everything is compatible.. Best decision I’ve made. This was the purchase I made. I would recommend that you purchase only one brand to simplify your tool collection. You can choose any brand you like/prefer HERE
