This is the @Kneel It It’s great for installing floor, grinding floors and pretty much any task that you need to move around on your knees • They just added a chest support adaptor to help you lean forward and take the pressure off your back • This thing is completely tool free and we have never had a problem with it scratching a floor . . . #tools #construction #kneelit #floor #flooring

Over 20 hrs already on my little Kubota! • They say grease the loader every 8-10 hrs with normal use. I’m sure it’s a bit overkill • These are pins on bushings that I’m greasing not sealed bushings so don’t get wild. • 12 spots to grease on the loader alone. If you are running equipment this 18v Makita greasegun gets the job done quick @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makitapartner #makita #kubota #kubotatractor

Between the snowblower and snow plow we get a lot of rocks on the lawn over winter • Using this Makita paddle sweeper just makes it so easy to clean up • This is an attachment that goes into the 18v X2 power head @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitatools #lawn #spring #cleanup #landscape

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

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

#ad Check out this Dewalt 20v Grabo! These are extremely helpful because you are able to add a handle to most flat surfaces • It can support up to 265 lbs. It also has an alarm to let you know if it’s losing suction. @DEWALT #dewaltpartner . . . #tools #construction #dewalt #dwtough

Changing the taillights on the 4Runner is much easier than changing them on the front • These are the LUXX series from @AlphaRexUSA and as you can see it’s a couple bolts and they are completely plug and play • All that’s needed for this one is the @gearwrenchtools ratchet, extension and socket. Just make sure not to drop the nuts down the body or you are going to be doing some fishing • @4Runner Lifestyle has a big sale right now on AlphaRex lights . . . #tools #4runner #alpharex #gearwrench #building #overland

No more heat shrink connections for me! • I saw this @SpliSeal.com @semashow and was sold on it! • The heatgun runs on @RYOBI Tools USA batteries which they include in the kit but I wanted to use the more powerful new Edge battery • Make you connection as it heats up, spray some mold release in the mold and put in your connection • Clamp it shut and inject the sealant. A minute later it’s ready to go • This will be clutch when I wire the @Diode Dynamics lights on the 4Runner, it even makes me want to redo all my wiring on the Tacoma . . . #tools #construction #tacoma #gearwrench #wiring #spliseal

I’ve been asked a lot if the silicone bucket liners like the @bucketsaver_ work for drywall mud • If you are looking for it to dry fully and fall out in a chunk like thinset it won’t, the bottom layer won’t dry • It does cleanup quick with a hose but it doesn’t completely dry • Running the @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA mixer that we got before the tools were first originally released and it’s still going strong, I can’t imagine how many boxes of mud it’s mixed now as well as thinset, grout and even concrete . . . #tools #construction #flex #flexpartner #flexpowertools #drywall #drywaller

Still a bit to cold to turn on the outside tap but I’m eager to try this Makita 40v pressure washer so I’ll use a bucket • On high hooked up to the house tap it will do 1,668 PSI and 1.85 GPM They say runtime of up to 60min with two 5.0Ah batteries • It comes with 2 nozzles, one adjustable one which I used on this video and then a turbo sprayer to get off the stubborn stuff • Once it warms up I will start washing some cars and post more on it @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitapartner #wash #clean #pressurewashing

Here’s the @SpliSeal.com hanger mold • This are a complete waterproof connection using a potting polymer. • I’m trying out this @felowerkzeugfabrik wire stripper I got from @KCITools It works really good on the 14g wire. It works on 24g-10g . . . #tools #construction #mechanic #wiring

Here we go! Got a Topogrphic Pro Grille for the 4Runner from @Taco Vinyl • Super straight forward to put on but the little factory clips are an absolute pain to release, the @gearwrenchtools pick set absolutely saved the day . . . #tools #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools #mechanic #4runner #tacovinyl #toyota #toyota4runner

Let the 4Runner build begin! Last year we teamed up with @gearwrenchtools to do a 2023 Tacoma that we took to @SEMA Show • This year we are doing a 2021 4Runner • First we gotta change these headlight to the @AlphaRexUSA Nova series Way brighter and they have a very cool startup sequence and daytime running light • Funny that once again we had to pull the bumper to change the headlight assembly but it was pretty easy and as you guys know I really enjoy working on vehicles with my Dad • A lot more to come every Saturday! We have teamed up with @4Runner Lifestyle for a lot of cool parts . . . #tools #mechanic #4runner #4runnerlifestyle #alpharexusa #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools #builtnotbought

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

I finally put a cap on my worktruck • I went with the @smartcap EVOa Adventure • It comes in a box and has some assembly. The most important part is to torque it properly. That’s where the @gearwrenchtools 1/4” 120xp 30-200 in/lbs torque wrench comes in handy • This cap is powder coated stainless steel and has a vent up top to make positive pressure while driving so you don’t get dust inside • More to come on this work truck build . . . #tools #construction #Gearwrench #gearwrenchpartner #smartcap #ford #fordraptor #worktruck

I can now confirm that the @kinetic.customs Titanium Nighthawk is even nicer in person • Made sure I followed their instruction by torquing the bolt to 29.5 ft-lb with the @gearwrenchtools torque wrench • Little bit of a Optimus Prime vibe going on here with the colors I picked . . . #tools #construction #hammer #titanium #gearwrench #workofart #kineticcustoms #titaniumhammer

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

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

Installed some aluminum exhaust ports for these bay doors @ExceedAutomotive • Used a @SpyderProducts 4-1/2” tarantula holesaw and as you can see it made quick work, it’s nice not having to dig the material out either • Used this absolute powerhouse @Hilti North America 4 speed drill, Hilti has one of the best anti kickback systems I’ve used but I still like to run the side handle with the type of power this drill puts out • Now they can run cars with the hose hooked up to the exhaust while keeping the doors closed . . . #tools #construction #automotive #mechanic #hiltipartner #spyderpartner #spyderproducts #hilti #hiltitools
