SPEAKER_04

I'm sorry, people. We're okay. We're okay. We're good. We're chilling. This is my lunch break. Hell yeah. Pay yourself. I am apparently getting paid.

SPEAKER_03

Aha. I'm on. I've got them. Ready? Photosynthesis. Let's get into this.

SPEAKER_01

Let's get into this. Energy, energy, energy, energy. Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready?

SPEAKER_04

Bring the mic closer, you fucking piece of shit. Ah, yeah, the number one trading podcast in Australia. We are back. We are ready. And we have high energy for today's episode because we're gonna ruin Toomie, hopefully. Run a train.

SPEAKER_02

What the it was already bad.

SPEAKER_04

Sorry, sorry. Uh well to start off this episode. As a lot of you are aware, Toomy has not been on a construction site. Not in my life. Worked on a construction site.

SPEAKER_01

Have you ever been on you've never been on a construction site? Nah. We had like an extension put on our house when I was like 15. That's the closest. I have actually worked for a guy's.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_01

Bad timing. Sorry. Um, I have actually worked for a construction company. Well, sort of. I would do their online stuff. I managed like a construction company's website, social media, and we used to sell some stuff online. So I know some little things, maybe, but genuinely when you were talking to uh Elijah. Elijah, and he was talking about being a chippy. It was only as I was editing that episode last week that I Googled what actually is a chippy? The carpenter. Carpenter.

SPEAKER_04

Who knew?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

So we have, I have five photos, and JP has five photos. Yes. Uh of tools that would be in, well, I've got mainly ones on a construction site. You have ones well in in the mechanic field. In the field that you're in.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Not the typical ones because I didn't want to make it too easy, but ones that, you know, mechanics know what they are.

SPEAKER_04

I am gonna so we will send them. Do you want to send a one by one? One by one, I think is the ideal way to go. I'm gonna send you the first photo. I'm starting off fairly simple. So you should. I'm hoping. I'm hoping. Alright. So I'm gonna send this one and we'll obviously chuck it up on the screen. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Do you know what that is? I don't know what it is, but it's got measurements on it. It's in the in a in a triangle shape, so I guess it can go into corners. Just for measuring putting stuff in corners, carpet, flooring. You work in flooring, right? So I I mean I do use this, but it's not like one of the main. I'm guessing it has multiple, like there's many edges to it, there's many numbers. I'm guessing you could use it in many different ways for measuring angles. What what do you think this is called, this this tool? I'm looking for hints. What does it say on it? It says measuring. Oh no, that's just that's see, that's a good point. It's a Lufkin. I purposely got one that doesn't have the name on it.

SPEAKER_03

I was about to say, normally they say something on it.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know. We'd call it the the the the corner, the the because you have a measuring.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna say, I'll give you one good hint. It's half of what it really is.

SPEAKER_04

Oh I feel like that's a good hint.

SPEAKER_03

It's half of what it really is.

SPEAKER_01

I think this is good. It's half of what it really is. Okay, so what it really is is a triangle? Half a is a a try, a tri-measure. No.

SPEAKER_02

Like you're on the right track.

SPEAKER_01

You're getting something there. A truler.

SPEAKER_04

A truer.

SPEAKER_02

That's possibly the greatest idea for it.

SPEAKER_04

A truler. Pass me the truly. No, it is not a truoler.

SPEAKER_01

No, it should be.

SPEAKER_04

Go on, M. What is it? That is called a square.

SPEAKER_03

So it's half a triangle is half a square.

SPEAKER_01

Well, a speed square. Yeah, I get it, but is what it's called. There's one thing that that thing is not. It's a square.

SPEAKER_03

So you can, yeah, put it against a piece of wood and it finds it's square, like when you mark off to cut it. Yeah. Because you can have against the edge.

SPEAKER_04

So there's a little lip on the bottom of it. Yeah. So that goes up against like a piece of wood. And then you can get certain angles and stuff like that. Got it. You were right. You can use it for a lot of different things. Cool. Very resourceful. Yeah. Truer.

unknown

There we go.

SPEAKER_04

Hey, true. Bro, hit me with a truoler. Yo, shout out uh shout out Lufkin too. We got Mr. Mechanics tools.

SPEAKER_03

Alrighty, here we go. Mine's a really small one, but I don't know why.

SPEAKER_01

Well, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_03

Is it a sticker?

SPEAKER_01

You made it a sticker.

SPEAKER_02

I'm showing.

SPEAKER_01

Uh okay.

SPEAKER_03

It's it's can I send it again? A metal. Ah, I send it as a photo now. This should be bigger. Alright, here we go.

SPEAKER_01

I'm with you. I don't know what this is. So it's a 16 millimeter. It looks like a kind of drill bit.

SPEAKER_03

It's not used for drilling.

SPEAKER_01

It doesn't go into a drill. It's got Is it for filing? Yeah. Of some sort? Like it's got this um rough end to it, almost like the filing something down.

SPEAKER_02

Is that used to do with filing?

SPEAKER_01

To grip?

SPEAKER_04

Like you can use like multi-telling. I don't know what that means. It's like what they have on the barbells at the gym. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Like the grips. Like you can you can grip it with something? It is designed for grip.

SPEAKER_01

That's what that's what all that marking is for extra grip. And 16 mil, so it's not very big. That's huge.

SPEAKER_03

They come in different varieties.

SPEAKER_01

You can get lots of different sizes. Ungrip it and you would. Is it just for like you put it in something to try to think of mechanic?

SPEAKER_05

And it's grip.

SPEAKER_01

Come on, staff, even you. So you put the ungrippy end in a hole for support. Ungrippy end.

SPEAKER_03

I'm imagining what you're trying to do with the ungrippy end. You work front and back. You think it's like more than a bigger one? Yeah, kind of throw it back in butter.

SPEAKER_04

I'm I'm lost. I don't know. I'm assuming you would grip it with like some multi-grips or something. Yeah, there's nothing to this one. It's just a metal red.

SPEAKER_03

No, multi-grips are probably oh, you could, but I wouldn't use multi-grips on them.

SPEAKER_04

But then what is the talk like the thing that's getting me is you can grip it, but what are you using it with? You're not using it to smash something. Oh wait, can you use it and uh with a hammer to punch like people? Ah okay. Is it to make holes?

SPEAKER_03

No.

SPEAKER_04

Is it to punch like something out of like a like a bracket?

SPEAKER_03

You could, yeah. You can it has a million uses.

SPEAKER_04

Okay. But is there a main use for it?

SPEAKER_03

It's not one specific. It's no, okay.

SPEAKER_04

So it's like a multi-purpose thing.

SPEAKER_03

It's a punch, but more specifically, this is a brass punch because it's a really soft material. So when you're putting in certain seals or bearings or things, you need to be able to push punch it in without damaging it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03

This way, only it damages the punch. So you do it for like, you know, bearing raceways and stuff. You need it to be seated or get down without damaging it.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So it's a brass punch because it's soft. Makes sense. 16 mil long or thick? Diameter.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So you can use it like that's you can get really big ones or small ones, like depends. I have a huge chunk in my toolbox out there of just brass, like that big. Yeah, yeah. But it's been used for like large surface punches.

SPEAKER_04

I was gonna get a hole punch, like because I use it for like uh marking things on vinyl and shit. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I use it for um oh, just regular hole punch? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Or the ones with the cutouts for circles. No, no, just a regular like pin, yeah, pin one that you can use.

SPEAKER_03

I thought that was too easy.

SPEAKER_04

Tell me brass punch because it's okay. That one kind of threw me, not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, see, I didn't use the brass to my advantage.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, the colour I thought it's it's all.

SPEAKER_03

It's like a tap because it's soft.

SPEAKER_04

See, I was I was looking at like I thought the six, I don't know, I looked at that as like something long, like fat, but then I didn't fat at 16 mil. Yeah, huge, huge. That's right. All right. All right, I I've got another one. This isn't even in my field, but uh it's one that a lot of people would know.

SPEAKER_01

Weird. Okay, it's kind of like a crowbar meets uh hammer uh in its shape, but I'm guessing you don't use the hammer end to hammer things.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

You do, yeah. You'd use that to bash. Yeah. Okay, and why would it have this sort of angle on it and those and it's got like ridges throughout it? What would you use this for? I mean, if you can bash something with it, you could bash anything with it. So So this is this is a specific trade.

SPEAKER_04

No other trade that I know of uses one of these. Is it for roofing? No. Not for roofs or floors?

SPEAKER_06

No.

SPEAKER_03

Do you know what this is? I wouldn't know it is particularly. I would in my mind it's just a hammer and a pry bar in one. So it's just useful that you don't have to have two tools.

SPEAKER_06

No.

SPEAKER_03

I would say something to do with carpentry, so you can push beams across.

SPEAKER_04

Nothing to do with carpentry.

SPEAKER_03

Concrete.

SPEAKER_01

No. Let's work out what so what trade could it be? Let's just go through trades. We'll narrow that down. I mean, what else is the we've narrowed it down?

SPEAKER_03

Electrician. No, they wouldn't use that.

SPEAKER_04

Metal. Uh sheet metal. This is a shout-out to all my funnos out there. Scaffolder. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

As soon as you do the hammer single. Oh, is it for is it a scaffold hammer?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah. So it's for like putting together scaffolding so you could bash it together and take it apart. Uh yeah. See, as soon as you know it's for scaffolding, that makes sense. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

They sling these things around, man. Yeah. They they like flick them through the phone, chug them in the belt, blah, blah, blah. Like those guys with signs on the streets.

SPEAKER_01

You just see, you just go past scaffolding, they're just doing tricks.

SPEAKER_04

They're they're cool, those things.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, right. Very specific. Very, very trade specific, that one. Right, JP, what you got? Oh, I know. That's hair strainers. I don't know at the first glance before I opened the head looking. Um, okay.

SPEAKER_03

So every mechanic kind of knows what these are. I haven't really found many mechanics that have them, though.

SPEAKER_01

See, because it's got these ridges on it.

SPEAKER_03

They're a useful, useless tool.

SPEAKER_01

Useful, useless tool. Is it what because they serve one very specific purpose? Or is it for making holes? No, no, no. I'm gonna guess not everything you sent me.

SPEAKER_04

It's a hole maker for sure. It's got the ridges on it. Is it spreading your ass cheeks open?

SPEAKER_03

Toledo is the brand.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's uh I mean, I obviously know what these are. Yeah, I showed you this. Something to do with cables, like wires?

SPEAKER_03

You are on the right track, sir.

SPEAKER_04

You are.

SPEAKER_01

Is it for like uh not for like stripping a cable? No, I know what that looks like. I've used something like that before. Think more mechanic, like putting on like uh like ridges or something. What do you would you call that? Like uh putting something on the end of a cable? Like an appliance. Not crimps, yeah. So I have my cable and I wanna well let's go.

SPEAKER_03

Where does the cable come from? What's it connected to?

SPEAKER_01

The car. Yes, somewhere, somewhere in there electrics, like uh the yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Where does it all come from though? It need like cables need a certain something. Power?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Where's that come from?

SPEAKER_01

Uh the plug? Like power battery. Yeah, we're on the right track now. There we go. We're getting there. So it's for uh uh doing something, uh putting the cable on the battery, putting the I don't know. I mean, I'm trying to think. When I have my car battery, the cables have the little circle things that go on there. You're on the right track. Is it for putting them on a cable?

SPEAKER_03

No. No, so you're on the right track with those things that are on the battery there.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The little round things. Is it for is it to make the little round things?

SPEAKER_03

No, but judging by that picture, what would it do to those little round things?

SPEAKER_01

Open them, spread them. Battery terminal spreaders, battery terminal spreaders.

SPEAKER_03

Sometimes it's really tight to fit down. Sure. But those are you supposed to spread them to push them down. Ah, very, very specific. Yeah, no one really has them because you can just kind of tap it down or you know, snugger fit 90% of the time.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But essentially that's what they are. So you said it's like a useful, useless tool. So to my brain, I would go most of the tools that you would have. It's like a small pry bar.

SPEAKER_03

Useful, useless thing because you just use a screwdriver. You'd just use something else in your hand. You wouldn't go buy those one thing because that's all they're gonna do.

SPEAKER_04

So a lot of your tools would be a multi-purpose use thing.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, that's something I've learned about JP. I mean, I saw them cutting gnocchi with a spoon.

SPEAKER_06

You're gonna have to wait and see that, bad boy.

SPEAKER_01

And you literally said, like, I'm a mechanic. I've learned that if it if it works, it works.

SPEAKER_03

So there are so many tools you use. Like uh we have to take tires on and off. Someone has a shovel because it's like the perfect size and shape to like lever up a tire and put them on. Really? Just a regular garden shovel. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_04

Tools that have multiple purposes, but it's specifically so fascinating how you you go from like a like a specific tool that's designed for one thing to take that into a different field and use it for something completely different.

SPEAKER_03

It happens a lot, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Or also like people will be out there inventing special things to take a tire off where and you're like, I just fucking use a shovel, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03

Fucking shovel, yeah. Yeah, there's like uh special tire levers and stuff you have and stuff like that. $15 shovel versus your $400 bar, maybe. What's wrong with the tire levers? What's expensive?

SPEAKER_04

Okay, so you just want something cheap that works just as good.

SPEAKER_03

Does the job buy the cheap tool first? If it breaks, buy the expensive tool. If it works better than the expensive tool, why even bother with the expensive tool?

SPEAKER_04

That is very, very fair. All right, I've got I'm gonna go a little bit harder. Great.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, this was way too easy. What the hell? Okay, sandwich press. For sure. Yeah, it looks like something from making meats of some sort. Butchers use this. Yeah. Oh, I actually know what this is. You had this in is this for flooring? This is something you use.

SPEAKER_04

This is in my trade, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And yeah, I feel like I've seen it. It's for what do you do with that?

SPEAKER_04

It's got the handle on it. Technically, we all should be using this by standard. We do not. Right. There's another version of this that is like longer and bigger, but it just takes it just takes, yeah. Big always equals better. It just takes way too long to do it, and you can uh do it easier by another tool.

SPEAKER_01

And it's is it to do with something to put the flooring down to secure it?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So you would you would have your your flooring, which is what wood?

SPEAKER_04

No. So this this specific thing is used for a certain type of flooring. Okay. Vinyl? No. So look at the teeth. If I was to use that on vinyl would rip though.

SPEAKER_01

So what else is there? There is What wouldn't that rip through?

SPEAKER_07

Your mum.

SPEAKER_04

What wouldn't it rip through? Like metal? Um I mean, technically, if you were to push down hard enough, you could rip through anything.

SPEAKER_01

Anything, yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm trying to think what else it was. Carpet? Carpet. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_06

So it's used for carpet.

SPEAKER_01

It's used for the the spikes doing something to the carpet. Digs in. Digs into the carpet. For what purpose though? Why? To just secure it into a spot? Stop it. This this is a hard one because there's there's like a lot going on. You've got to leave it, you've got teeth, you're like, yeah, yeah. Whatever. I don't even know what the fuck this thing at the back is.

SPEAKER_03

At first I thought it was like a um something to hit. Yeah, but then I'm thinking something to clamps down.

SPEAKER_01

Did you bring this in once?

SPEAKER_04

He had a similar one. I had yeah, so I've got a knee kicker. Yeah. So the one that I brought in is the one, the one that I use on a daily that has ruined my hips. Yeah, because I edited that episode. Yeah. I don't remember what it was for, though. Yeah. So that that is used for carpet. It's essentially the same thing, just less uh like physical labour.

SPEAKER_06

It's also hard to. Is it the back bit of hook?

SPEAKER_04

Huh? Is the back bit a hook? Yep. Yeah, so it is a hook. It's designed to hook and then like pull. So that that flat piece is designed to go, so in carpet around the edge. I don't know if you've ever seen what's underneath carpet.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_04

Bed bugs. Underneath carpet, there's uh underlay, which is the foam stuff that makes it soft. And then around the edge is what we call uh gripper, which is like wood pieces with spikes. Spikes, yes. I've stepped on them. So that is used to hook behind the gripper.

SPEAKER_01

What'd you say? You stepped on them. Yeah, the rental we moved into just had fucking metal spikes sticking up through the carpet all over the house. I spent the first month like hammering them down because I kept cutting my feet open.

SPEAKER_04

They I have ripped my fingers open multiple times by those. So is that just a bad, a bad, what do you call a flora? That's that's first job. Yeah, it is. No, that would the reason why they stick up is because the carpet would be thin. Yeah. It's thin piled. I just bashed them down with a hammer to try and blow it. So that that hooks on behind the gripper, and then that lever, you push it down, and that that spiky head pushes it back. So with carpet, you actually have to stretch it. If you don't, it just ripples. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So with that, yeah, it hooks behind, you push it down, and it stretches the carpet.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04

And what do you call it? A bulldog.

SPEAKER_01

Whatever.

SPEAKER_04

Whatever. A bulldog. We're just making up these names as we go.

SPEAKER_01

No, that is cool. So actually, if I go into Bunnings and say I need a bulldog.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I don't think you'll find it in Bunnings. Oh. So the reason I got it got that photo from Kevmore, because Kevmore. Like you can buy the knee kickers from Bunnings, but they're absolute dog shit. Right, right. This is more that's more of like professional stuff. Yeah. And I've found too that carpet tools or flooring tools are so fucking expensive. That alone is about $1,500. Jesus. Which is why I haven't bought one. It's so stupid. Crazy.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But in saying that, like they say that you use that in order to make your uh your like less manual labor, but you still got to use the knee kicker.

SPEAKER_01

I know what this one is. You use this to inseminate aminals. Aminals? Hell yeah. What was that? Inseminate your mum. Right. Well, it's it spins. And I'm guessing so it spins and that secure that you're spin. You you screw that into some in. What's with the fucking shake weight in the middle? What's that doing? We love shake away. Do you know what that is, sir?

SPEAKER_05

Uh yes. Yes.

unknown

Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Autobody now.

SPEAKER_01

It's something to do with it's used mechanics. Yeah. I'm I'm I'm struggling to understand the scale of this thing. Is it a meter long? Yeah. Like it's decent. It's not huge. Does the thing in the middle move? Uh yes. It slides along. It slides along. So we would screw that into something, we would slide that thing up against the thing. Uh is it used for like take measuring something weird? Not for measuring at all. It's for doing something to something. Yes. Oh, if could I bash the thing in the middle? I don't know why you would bash. Bash, not forward, but backwards. Backwards.

SPEAKER_04

Do you feel like do you ever just like do it super sexual? What?

SPEAKER_01

Just I feel like a lot of these things are very fallow.

SPEAKER_04

It's one of these.

SPEAKER_01

Mate, I'm two-minute Tom over here.

SPEAKER_02

Two minute Tom, right?

SPEAKER_01

Um also when we talk about mechanics, I think cars. Is this you're working on vehicles? Well, I'm a heavy diesel, yeah. So I work in a lot of bigger stuff.

SPEAKER_03

But this can be used, yeah, it gets used on cars. It gets used on and like heavy diesel is things like in the mines, like anything from like a truck, a loader, an excavator, dozers, you name it.

SPEAKER_01

But you but this is they have similar tools for cars versus.

SPEAKER_03

So that one would be used from anywhere from on a car to on something bigger.

SPEAKER_04

Obviously, the scale would go up to do with the engine.

SPEAKER_03

Well, I'd use that same size for all of it. If you need if that isn't solving it, then you're you don't go get a bigger one of those. That's not you don't do that. You just you you give it a try. If that doesn't work, well fuck start going. Next option. Fuck, I have no idea. In the engine? You can You can. It's universal, so it's it screws into something. Those screwing bits are for like attachments, so you can have different parts that you can hook onto the front of it, or you can screw it into something.

SPEAKER_04

You've just blown his mind. I have no idea.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, go on, go on.

SPEAKER_01

This is called a slide hammer. Okay, now we're getting a reasonable name. A slide hammer.

SPEAKER_03

So essentially, what that threaded end is, is you can chuck different like attachments or make your own for it. You can use it to like chuck basically, people use pullers on it because you can hook it into like a seal or a bearing with your slide hammer. You can like essentially hammer it backwards out. So you can use it to pull seals out, pull pins out.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

Usually it gets done with stuck injectors. You screw onto the top of them because they get stuck in the engine. So you can like use it to reef them out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_03

So essentially, so you can hammer stuff that you couldn't necessarily. Hammer. That's why it's called a slide hammer. Slide hammer.

SPEAKER_04

Very useful. What's an injector to me?

SPEAKER_01

I was thinking about that as he said it. Is that one like on an engineer? Dumps the fuel in the engine.

SPEAKER_03

Dumps the fuel.

SPEAKER_02

That's exactly what I was about to say. Was he gonna say the glue, the spark one on the top?

SPEAKER_01

I was thinking of like the pump, like when an engine moves, it's got things that pump piston, is what I was thinking. No, but yeah. Injector, yeah, injects the whatever into the thingy. Uh mechanic.

SPEAKER_03

I'll make a fine mechanic out of you yet. It's not true what staff says about you.

SPEAKER_01

This is for sandwich press again. These four different things, right? Like they do the simple, there's not one thing that morphs into different shapes.

SPEAKER_04

No, so they are used for the same thing, just and they're for um, actually.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I know what this is for. It's not for applying some sort of sauce. Some sort of source? Sort of cream, some sort of cream would you call?

SPEAKER_02

Oh, like cake decorators.

SPEAKER_01

No, like, you know, against the wall when they fucking put in sprout and stuff. I don't know what you call it. Plaster. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Plaster. Yep. So one of those brick videos where they make the plaster and they slop it on and they two of those are.

SPEAKER_04

So the the bottom two are used for the internal and external uh corners to put the plaster on. The other two, I've only seen them used as certain well, I don't think they're used for walls, um, but they're used for something different.

SPEAKER_01

Hmm, like wood? No. When you have okay. No. Um I mean, is it similar to like the plastered job? Yeah, but just a different surface. Yep. Um, and instead of plaster, it would be like a like a like a wallpaper, like a pat like not woolpaper, but like some sort of paper. Think more outside. More outside construction. We've got like like grout. Like this one has a little thing, the top left one has a little thing in the middle, I feel like would be for in-between bricks or something. So s kind of. But I'm thinking floors.

SPEAKER_04

Or is this outside of floors? This is outside of floors. This is outside of like it is in construction, but it's more well, I mean, technically it is a floor. It's not what I lay, though.

SPEAKER_01

Roofs, a roof floor, a roof floor. We call that the ceiling. Yeah, but if you're on the outside, it's all about perspective, isn't it? Very true.

SPEAKER_04

Um, so those top two are used for concrete.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

For like you're uh spreading concrete?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, gutters. Not gutters, the the verge, eh? You know how you can get the shape of the verges and stuff?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, well, that they aren't used for the verge, I don't think. But yeah, essentially the the same thing. It's used for shaping concrete, finishing certain finishing in certain scenarios. That top left one. So you know how when you go uh onto like a driveway or something and you see like the line straight through the middle? Yeah. So that's to prevent cracks in the concrete. Stress relations through and it allows it to yeah not add so much stress. Yeah. Yeah. And then that, yeah, that and what would you call these? Just trows.

SPEAKER_01

Trails.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I think the top left one would be called something. What about this one? We haven't really you haven't said much.

SPEAKER_04

They're just a different so that one is used for the edging of concrete to get that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

You would use this to give it a nice little round um curves circular motion.

SPEAKER_03

There we go.

SPEAKER_04

He's thinking Star Wars right now. Stick anything in that couple of drinks. Don't put your fingers where you lose what you think.

SPEAKER_03

Wise mechanic terms. Uh fuck. This is bizarre. Do you ever watch that new, like, um, what's it called? Dune? That's a worm. I have seen it.

SPEAKER_01

I know what you're referencing, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Or Star Wars on that one planet. Ah, that's gay.

SPEAKER_01

All of this stuff can be very phallic. Yeah. Could be. Um, well, what okay, so we've got this little metal brush thing. And a spiky. I mean, so but nothing goes in there. You're not putting anything in there.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah, you are.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, something's going in.

SPEAKER_03

Well, yeah. Also, the thing in the background there is the cap or the lid of that. So that sits on that goes on top of it. Yeah, there.

SPEAKER_05

Oh.

SPEAKER_01

And this is this is this is a tool. This is a tool. My again, a specific specific tool. Yeah. Yeah. What for one very specific purpose?

SPEAKER_03

It has one job. It does its job well, but it doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_01

And this is all mechanics would have these and they're regularly used or not all.

SPEAKER_03

I know a lot of them that can get away using a different tool or other tools because it's that one's more universal. But this one is specifically for one thing.

SPEAKER_01

I rate it. Do you use it on an engine or on not on the engine? No. It's so funny watching Tubi like break down where this thing is going to be used. Gotta narrow it down somehow. I mean, fuck, I don't have a clue what's for.

SPEAKER_03

If they had the the previous tool, they would have this tool.

SPEAKER_06

Also, also spoken about something.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, you mean if they had this thing?

SPEAKER_03

Oh, sorry, no, the one flat.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, the trowels. No, no, no.

SPEAKER_03

Mine before. That one. If they have that, then they have the other one.

SPEAKER_01

And that was used for the battery. And if they have that, they probably have. Is it something to do with cables again? Is it for like shredding a cable? Jesus, that thing would ruin the cable. Hooray. Cable strippers.

SPEAKER_03

Just clean your knob.

SPEAKER_01

Do they come in different sizes? Brother, you would be gone. It's for uh doing a circumcision, right? That's a fucking that's a torture machine, that thing. Do they come in different sizes? No. No, it's all one specific.

SPEAKER_03

Definitely do it electrical.

SPEAKER_01

Due to electrical.

SPEAKER_03

Used for the electrical same thing we're talking about with the pies. Very similar, but slightly different purpose. Close area.

SPEAKER_01

I can't work it out. I can't get out. Because it has a lid on it too. So what you're doing is that it's a good thing that's just for transport. You don't like it. Okay, that's just like it's not you don't need the lid on it. So that well, let's work. What could it go on? So it's you're not putting a cable in there. No. You're putting like some sort of because it's so sharp. Is it is what's going inside of it made of metal?

SPEAKER_05

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

That doesn't help me, but what's near the little bristles? Does does does electricity go through this thing? No. No, sir. What are the bristles for?

SPEAKER_04

Think of the the size of that hole. Massive. Yeah, it is quite girthy. But the thing, the thing that you said earlier with the pliers.

SPEAKER_01

The battery terminals. Yeah. Oh, does it go on the battery terminals?

SPEAKER_03

That is a battery terminal cleaner. So you put it on. And then the other end is so you can clean the actual inside of a terminal.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, very good.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, so that's what it's used for. Take you out.

SPEAKER_01

Man, I never even thought you would need to clean your battery. I mean, it makes sense, yeah. If stuff builds up on the bad contact, never good. Yeah, bad contact.

SPEAKER_04

So I think we've got one more. Yes. Okay. So I'm gonna send you this one.

SPEAKER_06

I know what that is. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, Pac-Man. Looks a bit sharp. Looks a bit sharp. That looks a bit sharp. Oh, and it's it it's got an arrow. Got some clues here. So it's it almost it's the shape of like a tape measure without the tape. Are we measuring stuff with this? No, we're cutting something to a certain size. Yes. We've got half inch and three-quarter inch. This thing moves, and when you oh, I've got it. We're cutting pipe. Yes. And in this, it moves this to make it either bigger or smaller. Yep. So if I move it and it's up this end, that's gonna be half an inch. And over here, it's gonna cut a three-quarter inch pipe. I can put it around if I have a long bit of pipe and I want short. I have long pipe, I want short pipe. You put that on and you just fucking spin it. Yep. So you just pretty much have to be a little bit more. At least makes enough for you to then fucking what pipe do you reckon you're cutting with us?

SPEAKER_04

Copper. Yeah, fucking spot on. Copper spot on, Tommy. I would honestly say, okay, what trade uh use is this? Plumbers. Fine.

SPEAKER_01

I would say you're a qualified plumber. How people get their apprenticeship?

SPEAKER_03

We have the same thing, but on a much smaller size, but identical. It's good um for bunny tubing, which essentially is copper pipe on a real small scale, like quarter inch. For what are your brake lines and clutch lines so you can replace one?

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

If I move to America, I'm good to go. Yeah, fuck these and put it in the room.

SPEAKER_02

Four hamburgers by two.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, they're they're I've I've never used them before, but yeah, they go fucking. Finish on a win. Love it. That was good. Hell yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Beautiful work.

SPEAKER_04

Now, speaking about tools, we do, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I now I I've gone out and I've spent oh before we get into any of that. The swear jars have been moved. So me and staff have individual jars now, and we have our coins. So if we miss one, you've got to keep us on.

SPEAKER_01

I don't have a swear jar, so I can say whatever the fuck.

SPEAKER_03

Are we paying for to me? No, we technically.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, yeah, fair. Oh, I'm gonna ruin you, boy. We hey, if we don't upload an episode next week, we are poor. Yes, we spend all our coins. And if we have missed a swear word, you make sure you let us know. Because these, as you guys know, will be getting donated to a certain cause or me, uh, mental health charity or um maybe an apprentice. I don't know. Depends how much we have. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Depends how much they have because if they have a lot, then we got very little.

SPEAKER_04

But yeah, talking about tools, I so I've gone out um over the last week. I went out and bought some I bought some tools. Uh, I spent a fair chunk of money and I haven't even used fucking one of them. Damn it. Shit. Two off the bat.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's two.

SPEAKER_03

Have we sworn yet? Huh? I don't think we've sworn yet so far.

SPEAKER_01

I did.

SPEAKER_03

This episode.

SPEAKER_04

You're out, all right, buddy. Time out. Uh yeah, so I've I've gone out, I've spent some money, and I bought a uh drop saw, uh a Makeda drop saw, and I went out and bought a DeWalt table saw.

SPEAKER_03

Why are they different brands? Yeah, what happened?

SPEAKER_04

This is this is uh anxiety. What happened? So I run AEG tools.

SPEAKER_03

Then why did you buy two of the competitors? Cheaper. Do you have three different types of battery charges and charge? No, so charge.

SPEAKER_04

The the Walt is uh 240, so that just plugs into the into the house. So I don't need a battery for that. The Makita one I do because it uses it's a battery operator one. To buy the the drop saw AEG one, it was way more expensive because it didn't come in a bundle. The reason why I bought the Makita one is because it came in a bundle.

SPEAKER_03

What did you get?

SPEAKER_04

It came with a drop saw, it came with a stand, it came with two batteries and a battery chargey. Chargy. Yeah. So and if I was to buy the AG, it would have to be all individual things. And batteries are expensive.

SPEAKER_03

But you already had the batteries.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but you need a certain like eight, I think. You need more ampers. Yeah, in order to um do it. So if I was to buy one or even two of those, just the batteries and the charger alone would have been 600 bucks, uh 700 bucks. And I bought this drop saw with everything that came included for like 1599. Too cheap, tradey.

SPEAKER_06

No, because it's still expensive. Yeah, but well, this is the paper of more expensive.

SPEAKER_04

This is this is the budget.

SPEAKER_03

Why don't you bunnings also have another good brand that I've seen you run? That other red one. You um you should. What's it called?

SPEAKER_04

You're dirty mouth, you bitch. So this is what this is what I want to get into. What is the best brand? Right? What yeah. Now, we know what you run, we know what I run. To me, you have the green one, right? Yep. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07

Right, over it.

SPEAKER_04

So there's obviously a whole different lot of brands. And I want to go over, I want to talk and have a genuine conversation about which one will come out on top. So we've got a scoreboard, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, we have a tournament, uh, what do you call them? A bracket. Yep. So we've got a bracket. Now we've got what is it? 16 different brands here randomly organized. Um, and they've in rounds, right? So you would do one versus one, who's better from that, and we all end up with you know, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, whatever.

SPEAKER_03

So we need 16 brands.

SPEAKER_04

So to start off with, no, we we already have them. Oh, we already have them. Yeah, so all of them are there. We're all all ready to go. So we've got to start off with round one. Okay, we've got Ozito versus AG. And what are you what are you? That's fucking disrespectful.

SPEAKER_02

All right, I'm gonna be honest right now. I think I would rather buy Ozito of AG. What the fuck? Why?

SPEAKER_01

Oh my god. Because the thing is, are we just talking about the quality of the tool or are we taking things like value, price, right? The value.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so like value and also like the um like because I know with certain brands they come up with like they have heaps more tools. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That give your spiel first on these two, and then I'll give my spiel.

SPEAKER_04

Is cheap. Yes, it is very, very cheap. They don't like I've used a fair few Ozito stuff. This the quality, the clunkiness, dog shit.

SPEAKER_02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04

Uh, damn it. Um I'll tuck two fives in there. Equals 10. Um so and because I'm a little bit biased, but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take that in from what I've used and the availability and uh like how much stuff that they make with AEG, I think AEG is the better. Plus, it's also made in a certain manufacturer compared to some of the other big brands. So Ozito, I would say. Now, if me and JP disagree, you're the tiebreaker. Okay. Alright. So I think just now, plus also another thing. I've had my like the first AUG drill that I bought, I still have, and it's eight years old.

SPEAKER_06

And it still goes hard.

SPEAKER_05

Alright.

SPEAKER_03

The way I'm seeing this, AUG is just kind of poor performance. I'm gonna be honest. I've used them and I'm very disappointed with them. For the price of them. What'd you use? Criminal. Oh, like a rattle gun drill. I can't remember. Some other bits of mobs, maybe a saw. But so you would write Ozito. Like here, now let me explain more. Or around the house, like and at home and all the rest of that. When I started as an apprentice back in the day, I had a little Orzito Impact as my first rattle gun. And that bad boy carried me for at least a week and a half because I'd bought Milwaukee tools. But regardless, it did well for what it cost. I bought a drop saw Orzito the other day for at home. Do you know how much it cost me? 80 bucks. How much was yours?

SPEAKER_04

My Makita.

SPEAKER_03

What about the AUG one you said was so expensive.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, that was uh a thousand. That's a uh that's cheaper of the brands as well. Like if you look at the other brands, that's cheap. I don't know.

SPEAKER_03

See, money for value performance, Azito's winning here. Oh, don't worry about it. Reliability would go to uh AUG. AUG?

SPEAKER_04

AUG AEG AEG Reliability, AEG absolutely destroys Azito.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but and like I guess output, but the price. You can't be buying a battery for like 40 bucks and a whole cordless thing for 30.

SPEAKER_04

I bought a drill and it came with a battery, 50 bucks. You did, I mean, you can buy bundles of AEG, but you did before, you did say before that if you spend the most like the on the more expensive tool and it works, gangster, you don't have to buy the cheap one. No, I said you buy the cheap one first and if it breaks, go to the expensive. Which is what's gonna happen with the Ozito.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. I've still got an Ozito sander that I've used for like five different cars. It's like six years old and it still runs.

SPEAKER_04

But you said the Ozito lasted you a week.

SPEAKER_03

No, I said I replaced it. I still have it in the shed, I use it.

SPEAKER_04

Right.

SPEAKER_03

And that's years old. Some money for value there.

SPEAKER_04

But how often are you using it? Oh, what's the bet you probably haven't uh used it since? The sander? No, the the I think you said rattle gun.

SPEAKER_03

No, no, I used it to put up a shelf and duck deal some help remove some stuff.

SPEAKER_04

So housework. So it doesn't actually get used on like proper like construction.

SPEAKER_03

No, I don't use uh I don't do that kind of construction and I don't use uh or even like on on mechanic stuff. Well, I don't really do that.

SPEAKER_04

You don't do mechanic stuff?

SPEAKER_03

You don't do that with the impact, you do it with the rattle gun.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but that's that's what I'm saying. The Ozito isn't getting used for like Welly Mate's run.

SPEAKER_03

I've made I don't know. I'm I'm going Azito over this. That's fucking diabolical.

SPEAKER_01

Do you want you on the decider? Yeah, give us a target. Let's get out of it. So I think, yeah, both are good arguments. From what I understand, Ozito is lower like consumer levels.

SPEAKER_03

This is BYD versus Tesla.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Budget electric versus expensive electric.

SPEAKER_01

Um, but I think if we're talking the best tool brands, regardless of price, I think AEG has the better products. And from what I've looked up, is they offer like a six-year warranty on their tools, which is warranty. That is a good point. Like one of the best in the tools. I think they offer the longest warranty out of all of these people on the list, which I think is a testament to how good their products are. If you're able to offer a six-year warranty on something that is used the way that they are used, I think that speaks a lot to the quality of their product. So we're going um going AEG.

SPEAKER_04

I do agree with you though. I'll say that's fair. With the whole um like when you like if you're just doing around the house stuff, you you don't need to buy big expensive stuff. Like with Ozito and stuff, you can buy like a drill and it comes with battery and charger and all that stuff. I I do agree there.

SPEAKER_01

Next up, Bosch versus Hilti. I don't know why it says Bosch blue. Is that a thing? It's Bosch is just Bosch, right? I don't know what Bosch blue is.

SPEAKER_03

Uh I think Bosch is Bosch.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we'll just go with Bosch. Go Bosch versus Hilti. I'm gonna go JP, you start this time. Hilti.

SPEAKER_06

I was gonna go Hilti as well.

SPEAKER_04

I haven't so I haven't used much Bosch, but I feel like it's just corded?

unknown

Shh.

SPEAKER_04

I'd go Bosch. I feel like a lot of corded stuff is also really good, but we're we're gonna go cordless.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Bosch cordless. The only thing I know about Hilti from working in the construction guy, and he used to have some like Hilti tools, is like they're like really highly regarded for what they do, right? Like, don't you have to have like a Hilti specialist if you need something repaired or whatever, you can't just take it to what he does have in. With Hilti.

SPEAKER_04

It's the same with um that other super super expensive brand I almost saw then. White and green, not Hilti. There's no there's another one. But yeah, with Hilti, it's almost like you need uh uh like Smeg, like the brand Smeg. You need like a specialist to come out to or you have to send it to a specialist. That sounds like a pretty easy decision between you guys. I would I I would say Hilti, just because I know plus I'm also probably going biomanx.

SPEAKER_03

So I'm gonna have four brains. Hell yeah. Uh, would Bosch's uh stick to you know the other stuff they make?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Is it frowned upon though to find the best of all brands and just have just a mixture? Yes, it is fucking frowned upon.

SPEAKER_03

If you rock up to the job site and pull out your fucking rainbow of a toolbox, there's no way you're getting pulled the piss out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that uh right. Well, next up is Ryobi versus Flex.

SPEAKER_04

I don't know what Flex is. Flex is a good brand. It's it's more of like a it's more of a middle. I also like the thought. I like the um the look of theirs. It's like, yeah, the grey.

SPEAKER_03

That gives us Kings tools and oh I forget.

SPEAKER_04

Immediately, immediately. It is it it's more of like a middle type. I'm going Ryobi. Right look, I would say I I'm gonna go Ryobi just because it's more of a um more of a known brand.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna go Ryobi because the only tool I own is a Ryobi, which is a Dremel for trimming my puppy's nails.

SPEAKER_03

I go to Ryobi with a snippy hat in the back, and it's a print.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I don't know much about flex, um, but I know that they are a good brand. But the only thing I'm thinking of is a flex seal.

SPEAKER_03

Slaps it on the water. I saw this button off. Losing together. That's a brand new.

SPEAKER_01

That would get my vote if that was what we were talking about. Um, this is a big one. Well, it's got a big big player in it that I've heard of DeWalt versus one I've never heard of, Festool. Festool.

SPEAKER_04

What is Festool? Festool is so expensive. It's like top, top, top. It's in my opinion, it absolutely destroys. It destroys DeWalt. 100%, million percent.

SPEAKER_03

But you said it's really expensive.

SPEAKER_04

But it's so expensive. Like for a drop saw, that's the same kind of one that I bought. It's like three and a half grand. So value for money, I don't see it. German done, sold.

SPEAKER_03

It's high end. Yeah, it's too. Look, as much as we uh shit on DeWalt, it's that's like America's number one or semi-number one. That's their snap-on tool.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the guy I worked for, he was DeWalt through and through all of his stuff as well.

SPEAKER_03

I'd I'd go Dewalt on that. Like they're they have enough to back themselves up. I haven't heard enough.

SPEAKER_04

I want to go Festal just because I know how good quality they are, but I'm also not paying the money for Festal. So that's why I'm gonna go DeWalt. Plus, DeWalt also, like, as like a main competitor, I think I think DeWalt is is good.

SPEAKER_01

Another big dog here, Makita versus Works.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, maybe I don't think I know works.

SPEAKER_03

I know the Makita.

SPEAKER_04

I know a lot of mechanics. Oh, that looks like a knockoff Chinese Timu brand. Yeah, it does, doesn't it?

SPEAKER_03

That looks like a better AUEG. What? You shut your dirty mouth.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I'm I'm not even all right.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna be honest. I know a lot of uh like mechanics have started out with Makita, some that still have them, but have switched over to a different brand. Yeah. But started out with them and they still have a couple tools for them. So I I do rate them from work, yeah. So they you you Tommy, Simon They've started off with work. Sorry? No, no, started off with Makita and switched to um a different brand later on.

SPEAKER_04

Uh that looks like something you'd buy off Timu.

SPEAKER_01

Like you you guys would know better. Like, how old is price? So they're a circular saw for 200 bucks. Is that cheap?

SPEAKER_04

Is it cordless?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, cordless. That's pretty good.

SPEAKER_04

It's not bad, but battery and it's actually probably on the cheaper end, anything. Yeah, so they're probably a bit more of a budget brand. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

What's the what's the warranty like?

SPEAKER_03

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

Uh two plus one year, so yeah, they give you an extra year.

SPEAKER_04

I would probably yeah, I would probably spend a little bit more. It's 20 volts as well. I'm gonna say Makita. Disgusting.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I mean it's gotta be. Makita's one of the big dogs, as far as I know. Absolutely. Right.

SPEAKER_03

We're all about the big dogs around here.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I don't know. But now we're going to Bosch green.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, right, that's their other ones.

SPEAKER_01

Because we had Bosch blue before versus Hilti, and now we're doing Bosch Green versus Ego.

SPEAKER_05

What the f what's ego?

SPEAKER_04

I feel like Bosch Green and Bosch Blue would be it should just all be Bosch, isn't it?

SPEAKER_03

There's a lot that you gotta bring in. Like Ew. As a mechanic, there's a lot of things you have to bring in that the fact that we run a lot of air tools.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Which will negate like air dye grinders and rattle guns and grinders and other bits like that.

SPEAKER_04

I think ego's all electric.

SPEAKER_03

I've seen ego, actually. Isn't that a that's on Sydney Tools now, I believe.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's like just fully electric everything.

SPEAKER_03

Which I mean is what is a power tool.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, it's all electric.

SPEAKER_03

Just imagine getting a two-stroke drill. Have you seen the people that made them? No. They use like an old Wibbersnipper motor and modified it into a drill, which went so dark. It's funny, as but you can do anything with spare time parts.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, is it more like garden tools? It looks like it. Everything here seems to be garden.

SPEAKER_06

Okay, well the versatile if it's just garden tools.

SPEAKER_03

And what was this against? Against Bosch Green, yeah. I think I could go ego over Bosch Green. Bosch blue is better, but Bosch Blue was against what was that against?

SPEAKER_01

Hilty.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, but that was Hilti, so I'm gonna go Bosch Green.

SPEAKER_04

But but does okay. Oh okay, so you're you're not gonna go eat uh ego. Oh no, sorry, sorry. I'm gonna go ego. I mean, so okay, so before I choose, does ego have like like drills and all that type of stuff as well? Because as far as I can see, it only has like garden. Mowers, blowers, trimmers, chainsaws.

SPEAKER_01

No, it's all garden tools.

SPEAKER_03

My second favourite trade was.

SPEAKER_01

Damn right, Gardner. I'm gonna I'll fucking motorbikes.

SPEAKER_04

Only two six. That might sell me. That might sell me.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, where's your trick mini bike up to 45 minutes?

SPEAKER_04

Where's your little mini motorbike?

SPEAKER_01

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, send us one out so we can do a so we can do a review.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, we'll give you we'll give you the vote if you use all send us if you send us one each.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna yeah, we want five mini bikes accepting brides. Hang on, but you can't uh no ego wins. You gotta go you gotta go versatile, like it doesn't have drills and stuff. We're talking about drills and stuff.

SPEAKER_01

I love going to talk about the best tool company.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. I'm gonna be honest, Bosch Green's getting knocked out by the next competitor, so I would go ego. I can't watch Bosch lose twice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, to be fair, whoever wins this is going up against Makita in the next round. So yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Um I'm gonna have to go Bosch just because it's more go Bosch for the same reason.

SPEAKER_01

Even like looking at ego for like garden tools, that they they don't impress, they they look like cheap, yeah. Cheap like tool new.

SPEAKER_03

You quiet down over there, but they were expensive.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, what a wonderful thing. So hey, we will change our vote if you send us out one of those motorbikes.

SPEAKER_02

No, they're sending me one. Fuck you.

SPEAKER_01

You got poor, bruh. I am all right. Two big dogs here. Milwaukee versus Black and Decker.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, Milwaukee, all the way.

SPEAKER_04

That's not even a question. Come on, black and decker can kiss my dut.

SPEAKER_03

That's like the black and gold version. You still get black and gold.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, but Milwaukee absolutely destroys. Yeah. We're going round eight.

SPEAKER_01

Hikoki.

SPEAKER_07

Hikoki.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, aka Hitachi is what they used to be called, apparently. Hitachi versus Matabo. Matabo.

SPEAKER_03

I'm gonna go old Hitachi, new Hitachi.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I think Hitachi is a better brand. Plus, I know that's got better warranty than Matabo. I know that um my and they're both versatile in like drills and everything else. But I think uh the Hitachi is a green one.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah, they're green, green, black.

SPEAKER_01

Easy decision there. Ease. All right. So we've narrowed it down now. We've got one, two, three, four. So what do we got? Is this semifinals? No, this is quarters. Quarters. So the first up is AEG versus Hilti.

SPEAKER_04

Can you show me what Hilti looks like again? The look, the look makes a lot of difference. It's all very difficult. Oh, Hilti's big. Hilti's big, yeah. They're big. I like Hilti.

SPEAKER_01

Hilti is big. Are they German as well? Oh the people ask, is Hilti German? It's literally the top question on Google. That's a random. Uh family in Schan Lichtenstein. That does. Is that German? Is Liechtenstein German? Can you say it? But it says Texas below there. German-speaking principality in Central European Alps between Austria and Switzerland. So yeah, it's German.

SPEAKER_03

German-born Austrians, eh? Yeah. I'm well they get JP's vote.

SPEAKER_02

No. I love how staff is just not thinking about it.

SPEAKER_04

I'm just, yeah. As much as look, I'm gonna have to go hit. I know Hit's the way is a better brand. Surprise from you, I thought you were. Look, I do, I'm I'm at A G. Are you gonna do the true because I have two other brands?

SPEAKER_03

Are you gonna do the subtle Jared salute?

SPEAKER_01

I think I think this is gonna be pretty obvious where the semis are gonna end up. Yeah, Ryobi versus Dewolves. That's easy, Dewol's very easy.

SPEAKER_04

Royobi. Royobi is owned by non-construction old people. So to me. Yeah. That's why they got my vote.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Makita versus Bosch Green. That's Makita all day. It has to be Makita. Bosch sucks. And Milwaukee versus Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_03

As much as I love it, you know. Hitachi's good though. It's not that good. I've used some of their tools. But you're biased against Milwaukee. I haven't found a better brand yet, that's why. I've tried a couple other things, but I'm like, no, this is just sad. The only way I'm going past Milwaukee is like air operated tools because they have so much more torque.

SPEAKER_06

And they don't run out of battery, obviously. Can we have a look at Hitachi? Hikoi? Hikoki. Hi Koki. Yeah, see. Sad.

SPEAKER_04

So what what makes you a Milwaukee slut? Price to performance. So you rather go to in debt than try something else. Have you seen how expensive this new Hitachi cost? Bro, Milwaukee, way more expensive. Way more expensive. Way more expensive. I was going to buy Milwaukee tools. I was going to go from AG to Milwaukee. When I went into Sydney Tools the other week, they can stay right where they are. Because what were you going to buy? Well, I was going to start off with like the drop saw, and I was also going to buy like um like a pack, like an impact drop saw.

SPEAKER_03

Look, so I'm going to be honest, most of these tool brands are marketed for chippies in general housing. Milwaukee is probably the only like fully mechanic? Mechanic, like ideal tool. They really market towards mechanics. That's why they get my vote. They know how to make them.

SPEAKER_04

What about the versatility though? Like brother. I know that Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_03

Milwaukee probably make more tools than any other one of these.

SPEAKER_04

I was going to say they have a lot of such a range. Alright, I'm going to go I want to go Milwaukee. Yeah. Because they also have a pie warmer, a battery-operated pie warmer. They do.

SPEAKER_01

They have jackets, you name it. Yeah, they do. Semi-final. So we're we're choosing third, second, and first.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that first one's tough.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they're both going to be tough. Hilti versus DeWalt.

SPEAKER_03

Can we have a look at Hilti again?

SPEAKER_04

Hilti. I think I'm leaning more towards Hilti. I think. Yeah. Yeah, you have to.

SPEAKER_03

I think Hilti is more of a. But they don't make much automotive grade stuff. It's construction grade. Their vacuum looks like R2D2. I'm I'm gonna go to DeWalt. I have to go to DeWalt because they look, there's no automotive grade stuff. I don't know DeWalt make because Americans. They're up there.

SPEAKER_04

Well, so when you say automotive stuff, what are you talking specific tools?

SPEAKER_03

Like I'm talking like rattles. Rattle guns. But like so Milwaukee make everything from like 3-8, half-inch ratchets, like electric ones, pass-throughs, electric torque wrenches, everything. They've got stubby rattle guns, medium rattle guns, large rattle guns, all in half inch, three-eighth, three-quarter inch guns.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, Hilton is specifically heavy duty construction, anchoring, demolition. If you go in universal, the grade of their tools, I think, is like the best. Yeah. Exceptional durability.

SPEAKER_03

But then DeWalt's still up there for the exact same. Reliability, durability, what are you saying?

SPEAKER_01

Output staff.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, it's yeah. I'm gonna stick with DeWalt on this. I think I I've Well, no, I feel like Hilti would have all those types of drills and stuff that uh you said about him.

SPEAKER_04

I'm gonna go uh Hilti. I think Hilti is a also fuck DeWalt.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, this one's tough.

SPEAKER_02

Just do it and don't cross. Don't look spam away.

SPEAKER_01

I'm gonna I'm kinda I'm siding with JP's reasoning on this one that DeWalt is just more versatile. Hilti probably, if you were to take the tool, is yes, probably the best one available on the market. But in terms of availability, like DeWalt is the name and the brand that you see everywhere. Hilti is very, very specialist, although I'm sure their tools probably are the top of the line, but DeWalt is just uh do you know what this is going up against?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, wait, no, uh we don't know yet. No, because now we've got how is DeWalt made it into the a well I'm this is gonna you've got Makita versus Milwaukee. I'm going to Milwaukee. Okay, I'm I'm gonna have to go Makita.

SPEAKER_03

Do you want to hear my reasoning here? I know four people that have traded in all their Makita tools for Milwaukee tools. That's because they're all sheep. They're all mechanics, and they can't think of it. They're all mechanics because they it Milwaukee is probably the greatest there is for mechanics when it comes to like Yeah, but you can't think of just mechanics though.

SPEAKER_04

You you gotta think of all of them. You gotta think of all trades.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05

You're thinking mechanics. Hey, what did Brody run?

SPEAKER_04

He's gay. There it is. I'm gonna I'm gonna just you can't lie, you know which your vote should lie. But um you can buy essentially all the same tools. Yeah, they're just not as good.

SPEAKER_03

For way, but uh even think of like the range. Milwaukee of bringing out forge batteries that have more output for all your tools, more longer power. Do you know the difference it makes, like 12 amp hour and a forage 12 amp hour? Yeah, you get like an extra 25% increase in tool output or speed. You can just do your job faster, you can drill faster.

SPEAKER_04

You can if I was to choose out of these two brands, I would have to go Milwaukee. But the reason why I'm not choosing Milwaukee is because of the price. The price is so high for what you get. The price isn't that bad compared to Makita.

SPEAKER_03

It is way more, way more.

SPEAKER_04

Maybe for a mad, massive drop saw. No, if you buy, okay, this will this will seal my vote. If you if we get the same package from Makita and uh Milwaukee, just an impact drill and a normal drill.

SPEAKER_03

Sydney Tools, they're gonna Yeah, uh Sydney Tools.

SPEAKER_04

We're here for you if you want to just you know respond to my emails, get I mean, as in so to me, can you look up the Milwaukee, just it's just a basic Sydney Tools sell them both, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So they have the same packages.

SPEAKER_04

So it's just a an impact driver and a drill with a battery. That that package will combine them both and see how much more expensive they are like that all the way to the end to me, I think. The two-piece, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That's a two-piece up the front, though, isn't it? Yeah, two-piece on the front. That's M8. See, that's another thing. Uh M12 versus M18. You get the smaller.

SPEAKER_04

So that that that comes with a battery, a battery charger, uh impact 790 on Sydney tools.

SPEAKER_03

Yep, and what's the other one? That is up there.

SPEAKER_04

It's almost a thousand bucks, bro. 750. That is so that is so pricey. Yeah, it needs to need to drill with it.

SPEAKER_01

Is that something that exists? Yeah, it's it's just be a generic thing.

SPEAKER_03

How much is it? Standalone.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, okay. It isn't well, I mean that one hundred just for the impact. It's starting to look like the Milwaukee is a little bit more ex cheaper.

SPEAKER_05

I told you.

SPEAKER_04

You get more bang for your buck for sure. Oh, well, if that's the case, then I'm gonna have to go Milwaukee. I I have to, just but just based off that, just based off that.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

If you're getting more you shut up.

SPEAKER_01

The research that I did, the main difference between Mikita and Milwaukee is basically uh they say Mikita is more ergonomic and and smooth, whereas Milwaukee's more like raw power. Um, like when they do tests um between the tools, Milwaukee pretty much always comes out on top for power and strength. So more like talk, more yeah. So I think Milwaukee, I think Milwaukee's a good call, though. Yeah, I'm gonna have to go Milwaukee. Which leads us, well, let's do third place first.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, that's an option.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So for third place, you've got Hilti versus Makita. Quite different.

SPEAKER_03

I think I have to go to Makita for this, honestly.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think I think that's a that's an easy choice.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

So Hilti comes in fourth, mikita comes in third, second and first place is down to DeWalt. It's got Milwaukee over. Milwaukee. That's bullshit.

SPEAKER_02

Put the coins in the jar.

SPEAKER_01

Put the coins in the jar. AEG's not there because you didn't vote for it. AEG should be taking that spot.

SPEAKER_03

No, it shouldn't. Number one, Milwaukee, you know it. This is this is Milwaukee. If you want to like I mean, just saying, like, if you chat the staff can trade in all his tools, just I mean, this is probably what like the biggest debate in the tool world, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01

Milwaukee versus DeWalt. I think it would be DeWalt and Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_03

In the construction world, I'd say, yeah. Mechanics, it's all about like Snap on versus this brand versus Milwaukee versus Snap. Snap on make power tools as well.

SPEAKER_01

Are they good though? They're expensive. What's really funny is it says here is you know the difference between the two. Milwaukee's more for mechanics and DeWalt is more for carpenters and builders and stuff.

SPEAKER_03

But I know plenty of carpenters that run Millie. Yeah. I've got to go Millie. DeWalt is expensive as well for what it is.

SPEAKER_04

Don't make me get proved wrong. Again.

SPEAKER_02

You know it's alright. Like you actually put up the facts.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, you know why I hate this is because everyone swears by no, everyone swears by Milwaukee. And I'm just like, you're just a sheep and you just want to be cool. Oh my god. Well it just checks you out, doesn't it? I'm gonna have to go Milwaukee. I have to go Milwaukee.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and although my vote doesn't count, I would have gone Milwaukee as well. Just from the little information I know about tools, what I see on social media, and when we talk about power, if it was Milwaukee's to go head to head with DeWalt, Milwaukee would win.

SPEAKER_04

I think the other thing that kind of seals me with Milwaukee, the thing that I'll the reason why I like Milwaukee is on every um on every April Fool's Day, they'll release some stupid tool that obviously doesn't exist, but it's just yeah, they like to joke around. So Milwaukee is out on top as number one best power tool you can buy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. And then we've got DeWalt in second place. That's bullshit. Makita in third, and Hilti in fourth.

SPEAKER_03

I still can't believe it ended like that.

SPEAKER_01

There you go. That's the official ratings.

SPEAKER_04

That's the rating of so there you go. You have that is the best tool, Milwaukee is the best tool that you should buy. As much as it pains me to say it. Irks you, doesn't it? And that's not even an opinion now, that's fact. Yes, that is fact. So if you disagree with us, keep your opinions to yourself. All right. No, put the comments. Well, let us put them in the comments. Put them in the comments.

SPEAKER_03

We would like to hear what you're gonna hear so many brands that were not mentioned.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, if they weren't mentioned, then they don't deserve to be on the list.

SPEAKER_03

I'm trying to think of one now. Well, like, you know, generic like ToolPro. I guess it's all mechanics stuff.

SPEAKER_04

King Chrome. Kings. Or all King Chrome. King Chrome make power tools. Do they? Yeah. I would not, I would not. Well, rep coat?

SPEAKER_03

No, they don't make power tools.

SPEAKER_04

There you have it, folks. That's um that's the episode. That's the best power tool you should buy.

SPEAKER_03

It really shows who we are as people. That hurts me. And it shows that I was right all along. No, you shut up. What was that? You close your dirty mouth. Dirty, dirty floor layer.

SPEAKER_00

Back on the ground. I don't like it. I don't like this at all. I like this at all. He's got nothing. This pissed me off a lot.

SPEAKER_04

Well, to end this episode, I, well, no, JP wants to do a little unboxing because I want to give a little shout out to Trademart because Trademart sent us out these. And this isn't even a paid ad. This isn't paid anything. They have sent us out their new winter range. It is um their puffy vest or puffer vest. Oh, that's the wrong one. They've got the short sleeve and long sleeve, and they are absolutely fantastic. The fact that I've been sitting in this this whole time, I'm sweating my absolute dut out.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, they are sick. I like them. And the inside? The inside's the best. The inside looks really. Ooh, that one's nice.

SPEAKER_03

And then we have a jumper, regular.

SPEAKER_04

And then the inside of that one. That one's also orange. The reason why I like Trainer is because they're all they're all about mental health. The hoodies, the hoodie's got the colour, so the hoodie. The little hoodie. Yeah. So they're just all about uh mental health. The reason why they do this is because it's a conversation starter. So if you go out on the site, they say this you go, Oh my god, what the hell is that? Conversation instantly, straight away.

SPEAKER_03

I would love to wear these on stife uh stiff on site. We talked about it. These are very not high-vis, so I can't run these. Well, they have especially on night shift. They have high-vis on the back, their little logo. Does that I don't know if that is quite adequate enough to be running around with road trains and stuff driving around?

SPEAKER_04

I just want to give a little shout out to Trademark because they're they're awesome. They're such an awesome legends, honestly. Yeah. Um, so I'm gonna chuck all their links below. And if you are suffering, if you are a construction worker or a mechanic or just a household person like Toomie, just a normal generic fella. Just a generic fella, my god. Um, yeah, jump over to their website, or they do have uh special numbers that you can call if you are struggling to talk to certain people. Um, and with that, that episode is done. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Oh well. Did you put all the links of we uh here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here.

SPEAKER_04

That'll all be below. Hell yeah. Now I need to go back to work. That sucks.
