I've got 10 tools under 20 right in this box I
love them and I think you will too So our first tool is the tough built scraper utility knife
and this guy comes in right at $20 And it looks like just a normal utility knife
and you can push it up and use it as a box cutter It doesn't extend but what it does do you've
probably never seen before look at that that Is so cool when you put it up into the scrape
mode the head turns 90 degrees and that razor Blade turns into a scraper now I love this
because I typically will just grab a razor Blade and just use my fingers and you know it's
harder to get I can't get as much force on it so Having this in the handle in the utility knife
makes scraping easy I've had this in the shop For a couple months now really nice and just how
awesome is that mechanism as an engineer I just I could just do this all day but I won't having
a tool that can do two things and one is awesome But you know what's even better How about having a tool they can do five in one This is the five in one painters tool comes in at nine dollars
there was a lot of comments in the other videos about this one And I do like it so this is really
just a modified putty knife and so it's got a lot Of little features on it though obviously you
can use it to apply putty on the back end but it Also has a bevel on the other side so it is great
for scraping I use this on dry glue whether it's On a glue up or on a table it's got this nice
little hook here at the end which is great for Breaking a caulk joint if you're removing trim
and then this is really the painters feature of It this little hook here is for scraping excess
paint off of a paint roller and it works really Nicely and then this end piece here is great for
opening cans of finish so we can just open this Right up and you don't need a little can opener
and those are the traditional five in one uses But this is actually a six in one because
it also has a little Hammer end and that's Really cool because when you need to close
up your finish you can just use the hammer And if six and one isn't enough they also have
a 15 and one but honestly this is kind of like The Swiss Army knives where you just start
adding a bunch of different implements and Then you know some of those just don't really
make sense like I don't think this would ever Be great to have as a hex wrench and the uh
screwdrivers in here which are four of the In ones are just not something I would probably
ever use so I'm going to stick to the simple six In one but there's tons of different options out
there if you want to check them out one thing I Use a lot as a woodworker is glue and I've got a
ton of bottles of glue and they kind of all look Like this at the end now the Caps are always
getting messy and so when you have to pull it Out it kind of sticks and gets gooey then you
gotta pick that booger off there at the top And also as that glue starts running down you
start doing the old Heinz 57 I think if you hit It right there on the 57 it'll flow a little bit
easier but there is a better way because this is
The fast cap glue bot and this one comes in at
eight dollars and no it is not the younger son Of C-3PO even though it sounds like 3PO may have
been through a few glue UPS in his life we seem To be made to suffer it's our lot in life so this
is a really cool glue bottle that uses physics to Put out glue it has this main reservoir here and
you can just open up this top cap and then fill it Up with your favorite glue and the main part has
this nice flexi plastic that as you squeeze it It pushes the glue up and then out of this nozzle
and you can put on different tips here so you can Get a bunch of different tips to have them for
different sizes they even have little Precision Ones and they even have a little guide ring that
helps you Center your glue line right on a piece Of three-quarter inch material here's some of the
features I love most about it first of all it's Just got a little holder spot for the cap which
I think is a nice little feature and because it Works on pressure you can apply it vertically the
same way that you can horizontally so there's no More fiddling with having to get it up and shake
the glue down to the bottom to make it work and if You're trying to apply it and get up you have
to get weird angles with a regular bottle but This guy gets around all that so this next one is
great for those of you who like to Tinker like me So I might have something like this battery that
might not be charging and so I want to open it Up and see what's up inside and of course that
means a lot of little itty bitty screws or maybe I'm putting a new tool or jig together and I've
got lots of little bolts and nuts and washers to Keep track of and that's why I love the next tool
which is a magnetic Parts tray now this little guy Is only six dollars and you will see these a lot
in the automotive settings for nuts and bolts but As a woodworker and a maker these can really come
in handy when I'm taking apart that battery I can Just take these little screws drop them in there
and they just stay right in place right where I leave them and I could even separate out the
different nuts and washers into different sections And they're going to stay right there so this guy
is great but there's also a little trick that I Learned a while back that makes it even better
I don't ever really use the tray for wood screws Because I typically have containers for those but
I have been known to drop them on occasion so now I'm gonna have to play 52 card pickup with all
these screws on the floor but if I take the little Tray and then take a shop towel or just a paper
towel and put it over there now I can go over And it will pick up all of the screws now they are
all on the paper towel and all I have to do is put It down and pull the paper towel right off of the
magnet and then put them back into the container Easy peasy now most of us don't have the strength
of Chewbacca and we can't lift things with our Mind like Yoda [ __ ] why you fail but this next
tool can give you some superpowers in the shop So this is the Craig panel carrier and this one
does come in at 25 I know I went a little above The 20 but because this gives you super powers I
think it's okay the super power this gives you is Lifting a full sheet of plywood with one hand so
I work with a lot of sheet Goods in the shop and
This adjustable clamp just makes it so much easier
and it's really simple all you do is bring it over To the sheet push up so it locks in and now you
can just lift it up with one hand and walk around The shop you can move it around put it in place
and do it all by yourself that is adjustable So you can use it on different sides of sheet
material so if you had like one inch MDF if you Know you had a death wish for your back or all the
way down to something like a quarter inch and you Can also use this for drywall this has been a game
changer in the shop for me and I've used different Versions along years but this coming in at 25 is
actually one of the cheaper if not the cheapest Ones and I really like it you may have noticed
this great looking shirt as I've been going Through the video and this is our new merch we are
just launching it is called the mistakes Strike Back shirt so you can go check it out it's at
fixthisbuildnet.com and we do have this new merch But we also sell plans so you can pick up plans
anything in the shot that you see that's made out Of wood or plywood and that is something I built
and those plans are available out there for you For digital download and you can print them out
and bring them to the shop or you can access them On your phone laptop or iPad they've got parts
list cut diagrams and step-by-step instructions so You can just hit the easy button and get on with
the build and not have to worry about designing It or wasting materials because we optimize the
cut list for you so go check it out down below Link in the description and we appreciate all the
support of the channel and for what we do I bet Most of you have a random orbital sander because
sanding by hand is kind of a pain in the butt but I just thought these hook and loop things are kind
of a rip-off so why can't I use the same paper to Sand by hand now you can these are hook and loop
sanding blocks and they come in some different Varieties uh this one with another one comes
in at 12 and this little guy is ten dollars but Basically you can take that same exact pad from
your five inch sander and then just put it on here And then roll it around the side and now I can
sand away I probably had this guy for well over 10 years and uh the wear kind of shows I actually
did buy some new ones and this was pretty cool I Like this one because now you can use the entire
surface of the five inch pad instead of having it Come around and actually I really like the the
grippy on this guy these two came in that kit Together these were the 12 and they do come in
five or six inches but I will say that I really Like the heel on this one a lot better because it
just kind of fits better in your hand as you're Moving it this one and this one doesn't this feels
like kind of like a bad Mouse but this little Flexible pad is probably the one I like the best
because you can just put that on there and then You can form your hand it's great for breaking
edges on corners and it's also really good for Concave shapes so I can get in here and really
sand everything because that's really hard to do When you have a block that doesn't conform to the
surface I did upgrade to a six inch sander a few Years back and so I just picked up a larger one
this is the six inch and it works just the same
I'm going to be using this guy a ton and honestly
this might be my favorite thing in the entire list If you've been around the channel for a bit you
probably know I hate dust so to go along with These dust makers uh we need something to protect
our lungs so sometimes I will use just a velcro Mask little n95 mask but what's even better than
that is our next tool which is really a safety Tool which is a 3M respirator now this is the 3M
6500 respirator and this will come in right around 20 bucks it may be a bit higher depending upon the
sizes and when you get it but this guy is awesome Now of course you will need filters for these but
these are also under twenty dollars now I use a Couple different types of filters and these are a
2097 model and they are a p100 filtration so this Is great for kind of the dust in the air that you
would find in a wood shop but if you're going to Be spraying finishes I would also pick up a set
of these which these are the 6001 and these are For organic Vapors so these will help protect your
lungs and keep all of those nasty particles rolls From spray paint or oil-based finishes and all
that out of your lungs they even have a little Topper on here that you can add some of that
fine particulate filtration to it because these Are really just for Vapors not for dust so don't
wear just this in the shop I like these so much I actually have two masks just so it's easy for me
to have a one for the shop in the dust and one for Spraying finishes and you can tell this one's got
a nice little paint job on it now these provide Way more protection than a paper mask because of
the Rubber seal around here and the great thing About this half latch version is that when you're
wearing it you can put this little latch here and Pull it down and not have to take off the mask
so you can take that down if you need to talk to Somebody Chuck what's up or take a sip of water
to stay hydrated so if you want to protect your Lungs definitely pick up this combo now staying
with the safety thing I think we've all learned From Norm there is no more important safety rule
than to wear these safety glasses now like these All clear little thin versions and these are
great just make sure you have a pair that is ANSI rated and that they will stop impacts but if
you're really starting to shoot the dust out and Especially if you're working with metal or working
overhead I would recommend our next safety tool Which is enclosed goggles or enclosed goggles
with a mask the mask comes in at 19 or just the Enclosed goggles I just got these for 12. but I
really like the extra mask here because one it's Got the whole Vader Vibe going on it Luke I break
for kittens but two just because it really helps Protect anything coming off that cheek especially
if you're grinding a lot of the spars are coming Up and I've just heard way too many horror stories
over the years of people getting a little Shard of Metal in their eye because it bounced off their
cheek and under their normal safety glasses some Wearing these whenever I'm cutting metal or
grinding or any time that I might be working Overhead an enclosed goggle would be great so
you just keep everything out of your eyes and Keep safe this next tool is for your table saw
and these are auxiliary fence clamps and these
Are 14 bucks these come from miles craft and let
me show you how they work the main thing I use These for is attaching this sacrificial fence that
I use when I'm making potatoes and rabbits so I Can put this right on my fence and then these go
right into the holes and then I can tighten them Up now if this sacrificial fence and a dado blade
installed I can bury that blade into the fence a Little bit and you can see the Cutaway there now
it's going to protect my fence and it's going to Let me make Cuts right up against the edge like
for a rabbit cut or I could use my miter gauge And make end Cuts Like for a locking rabbit on
the end of a drawer or something similar another Way I will use that is I'll take off this piece
and just have a little stop block so I can have This just one little piece and then I can attach
this guy right here onto the fence as well so this Little stop block is great if you want a little
bit of extra space and you don't want your piece Riding against the fence so you can go against the
stop block and then after you pass it now you've Got extra space so that the blade and the fence
are not binding that piece together and once you Make the cut it will just have a little space to
hang out until you shut down your saw now when I First got these it was really hard to move and I
was making this funny squeaky sound it's a funny So go ahead and spun this piece all the
way out and there was a bunch of metal Shavings in there I guess from when it
was machined I emptied those out and now It works like a charm no squeaking now before
we move on to our last item I feel like I gave Hearing protection a disservice because we talked
about lung protection and eye protection and this Is just a bonus tip but this is under 20 I really
like these 3M ear plugs you can get a set of 80 For I think 16 I actually wear these when I sleep
because my wife may or may not be a snorer but In the shop I like to wear earbuds these are the
isotunes extra 2.0 I really love these these work Great because I can listen to music or take calls
if you don't like a wired version like this you May like ear muffs they have their air defender
or a Totally Wireless earbud like their free 2.0 Isotunes is a sponsor of the channel and you can
use code fdbt to get 10 off anything on their Site and you can just put that in at checkout
I'll have a link Down Below in the description All right let's jump into our last item now and
you've probably seen these little grippy pucks That you can put down on your bench you would put
a little piece on it and then you can sand it or Do whatever and it doesn't slide around and these
little painters triangles where you could put Paint or finish on one side and then flip it over
onto the triangles and put paint on the other side And not mess up the Finish except for little spots
well this next tool can do both of those these are The Kreg project blocks and these come in a set
of four for fifteen dollars I think that's a sale That I think normally they are twenty dollars and
just like our first tool these have a cool little Mechanism they combine two features into one so
they've got a little rubber coating on the front And the back and you can use those just like the
other little pucks to keep your work in place but
When it comes to finishing the secret inside is if
you just give it a little turn this little pyramid Pops out with a little rubberized tip on it now
you can put those down and use those as finishing Painters pyramids now I still do recommend
grabbing a lot of the painters pyramids because You know if you have a bunch of drawer fronts to
paint it's nice to have a lot of them that you can Move throughout the shop but these are awesome if
you're only going to be finishing a few things at A time and for basically the same price as the
other ones you get two tools in one if you want To check out more tools under 20 bucks I got a
video queued up for you right there a big thank You to the fdbt builders club and until next time
guys get out there and build something awesome
