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
#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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
Couple quick 4Runner mods that only need a @gearwrenchtools Philips screwdriver • First I swapped out the 3rd break light with a @morimotolighting • Next the door courtesy lights with these @4runnerlifestyle lights • Last I did the license place lights with a led upgrade All this stuff I got from @4Runner Lifestyle • Soon I’ll be doing full suspension and starting in the body mods. . . . #tools #4runner #4runnerlifestyle #gearwrench #offroad #toyota #toyota4runner4x4
Check out this New @Crescent Tools SiteRunner 3 shelf folding cart • Each shelf can fold up to 100 lbs and it has lots of spots to hang tools • It also has locking casters . . . #crescentpartner #tools #construction #crescenttools
The amount of mods you can do on the 4Runners seems endless, 3 I’m doing here just on a mirror! • It’s nice to get rid of those little convex stick on mirrors and add these built in ones from @4Runner Lifestyle • While I’m at it I added these smoked out sequential turn signals also from @4runnerlifestyle • The last one is the @mesocustoms puddle light, the old ones were so dim I didn’t even know they were there. These are also available @4runnerlifestyle • I did all this with just one @gearwrenchtools phillips screwdriver • We are hardly even starts on this build and I feel like I’ve changed so much! . . . #tools #gearwrenchpartner #gearwrench #4runner #4runnerlifestyle #mechanic #overland #toyota #toyota4runner #mesocustoms
Giving this New Gen 2 Nuron cut off saw a go! • This walkway/slab slopes towards the house so its time to go, I’m going to build little deck here instead • I had 2 batteries that haven’t been charged in months, some other brands would have almost fully lost their charge but these Nuron batteries were still showing full • I got just over 20ft at full depth in this old concrete and I wasn’t taking it easy on this saw • The extra power is noticeable on this Gen 2 • Also I love the battery powered water tank, no pumping! @Hilti North America . . . #tools #construction #Hilti #hiltipartner #concrete
Sunday Funday at our rental house! • This old sink and taps was hurting and needing to go, plus the sink was cracked • Tossed in a new vanity with sink and taps. Also cleaned up all that plumbing. • The 6” @Crescent Tools was perfect for getting in the tight spot. • The water main is now enclosed in the vanity but I had to make a little not with the Makita XGT barrel grip jigsaw to get it in • This 100 year old house needs a lot of love in little places so I’ll be picking away at it over the summer @makitatools@makita.ca . . . #house #construction #tools #crescenttools #makitatools #bathroom
Added the some Molle panels and a shelf from @4Runner Lifestyle in the 4Runner. This is their in-house setup • Lots of parts but it was straight forward • This gives us a shelf for the smaller stuff and lots of places to hang things. • There isn’t a ton of room in here so as the build goes on I need to figure out how to set everything in here for our adventures • I love having this rolling @gearwrenchtools tray for assembling stuff right by the vehicle and keeping all my tools within arms reach. Only a couple Screwdrivers, Allen key and sockets for this job. • I’m going to put a rubber mat on the shelf to keep things from rattling . . . #tools #construction #4runner #overland #overlanding #4runnerlifestyle #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools
