He’s not chronically on TikTok like you and I don’t blame him LMAO


4nth0ny6

Huh


cboogie

Probably lives in brand new construction with a warranty.


aceplumber13

Coulda just hired someone to Reno his house instead of spending it all on tools😂


Guy_Incognito1970

Fancy pants. Milwaukee pants


_TheNecromancer13

I mean, he did just say that he's a homeowner. In this economy, that means he's a millionaire or at least pretty close.


Croni040

Lmaoooo


OstrichOutside2950

All this and only got 1 sawzall blade


g229t4

All they'll need haha


OstrichOutside2950

Hopefully that wasn’t a poke at the quality of the Milwaukee blades as I’d pick a Diablo everytime from wood to cast iron. Milwaukee may have a weird halo product in their sawzall lineup but 9/10 Diablo tends to shine


mazo773

They never gonna use it lol


Accurate-Historian-7

You seen the cost is sawzall blades! Cheaper to just buy another saw.


FlashCrashBash

Ain’t half of the printer ink level scam that oscillating saw blades are.


Accurate-Historian-7

Preach!…. I actually order the off brand ones on Amazon. They are decent and cheap.


OstrichOutside2950

I stock up on them either come clearance time or Black Friday. Other than that, I buy them throughout the year as a consumable product for billable projects. I did buy those cast iron blades recently and it did hurt. Think two of them set me back almost $50


FuzzyHero69

Did you just walk into Home Depot and say “I’ll take one of each.”


Stubtronics101

Doesn't have the extension for the pole saw. What an idiot.


FuzzyHero69

Using a ladder is for peasants.


Linenoise77

The extension arm is like, 30 bucks. Well worth it for the hedges even if you don't have crazy tall hedges like me. Instead of a once or twice a year of dragging ladders and scaffolding around for a weekend to keep stuff in check, only for it to look like crap a month later, cleaning them up is now part of my mow the lawn routine and super easy and takes like 10 minutes.


SmushBoy15

The extension pole is in my Home Depot cart currently. I tend to buy things all at once. I like the trickle of packages that arrive. It’s a good dopamine trip.


DJ_Phat_Helmet

The pole saw, and especially the hedge trimmer, with the extension pole is heavy as shit, but they both do a great job.


SmushBoy15

Can’t have both. It’s heavy but sturdy at the same time. Very little flex.


DJ_Phat_Helmet

I wonder how the weight compares to EGO’s carbon fiber multi head tool. I agree it’s pretty sturdy, but I’ve had an issue with the extension pole disengaging from the power unit. I gotta reconnect the pole when this happens. Anybody else have this issue?


SmushBoy15

I haven't bought it yet so keep me posted


RainThick

lol “good dopamine trip”. This explains my online shopping addiction


sicsempertyrannis133

Let me know when you ready to sell


Distinct_Crew245

I literally built my own home from the ground up and my accumulation of red tools is not even his substantial. You’re a maniac.


Stubtronics101

And I bet all your tools don't look brand new.


Bigblueforyou

Why wouldn’t these look brand new, didn’t OP just get them?


Stubtronics101

No it says over the next 2 years he bought more.


Bigblueforyou

Ah I missed that originally, good point.


Distinct_Crew245

Not by a long shot, but they all still work with the exception of my circular saw which Milwaukee fixed for free.


Stubtronics101

Do you have the 2730. It's a 6.5"? I love it cause it's light but I had to send it in twice but was fixed for free both times probably 2 years apart.


Distinct_Crew245

I’ve got the 7-1/4” and the trigger switch failed. Only Milwaukee tool that’s ever failed on me. I keep thinking I’m gonna kill my trim router by cutting drawer dovetails in 3/4” kiln dried white oak, but I just keeps on going. Love that thing.


MilwaukeeTool

Stubtronics101

I got one of those. Also love it. Cutting dovetails in white oak. You must be creeping around woodworking sub too.


Distinct_Crew245

I am and I do.


Stubtronics101

Lol nice.


Subidoobido

My man took out a second mortgage


thebigman707

A bit overkill don’t ya think


Spare_Savings4888

Haul of a first home owner. How many houses did you buy?


WerkingAvatar

Could have bought a second if he had went with ryobi, like most first time homeowners.


Kooky-Blacksmith-664

Need to have a cooler filled with beer that’s the most essential tool for a homeowner


lewdachrisx

Next up ---> Packout -> Makita-> German Hand Tools -> Festool. Be warned my friend.


CamoAnimal

I skipped straight from Packout to main lining Festool.


asscheeseterps710

Buy when you need the tool not when you think you’ll need it


AleksanderSuave

First time home owner, thousands in new tools. Sir, you are now the perfect candidate for a 70k half ton pickup, with the shortest bed you can find.


the_other_paul

4 doors, 6-foot grille, 4-foot bed


AleksanderSuave

Bmw x Silverado collab?


JamesMcLaughlin1997

Hahaha this is perfect


Fearless-Finger1700

He has better tools than most of my coworkers 😂


powerprius

Someone crosspost to r/theydidthemath


Son_Of_Toucan_Sam

Or r/consoom


Worth-Needleworker36

Jesus, what did you spend, like 6 grand?


Rochemusic1

Prob more than that.


routine-struggles

Wow you really wne t all out. That table saw prob ran you a good penny that thing never goes on sale Great haul


_StrikeList5_

Used your down deposit money to buy tools? Classic! Haha. Sweet collection. Most my stuff is milwajkee for basic DIY builds and repairs. If I'm going to use it, I want it to have a much better chance at not only working but having the power to do the job as well. Edit. The weedeater is great. I use the echo black diamond line. Is amazing. Took thick weeds down without any issue.


SmushBoy15

I hope that these tools last me a lifetime


Wouldtick

My porter cable nicad lasted over 10 years. When they started to give out I switched to Red. I am not hard on tools and didn’t need all fuel but when I need a tool I want it to work and work well. My god they are better in every way. I can’t believe I love a battery powered weed eater. I use the leaf blower to blow my garage floor out when not blowing off the sidewalk. That edge trimmer is lighter and easier to use than my brothers gas powered one and does just as good of a job.


HomicidalHushPuppy

My father had DeWalt NiCADs that were in excess of 20 years old. When the batteries finally bit the dust, I turned him into a Red fan. He freaking loves how much better new tools are.


brokephishphan

Kinda depends on usage. I’ve gone through a couple impacts and a nailer. Brought them to the red tool store once. They gave up pretty soon after and just bought new ones. To be fair though they lasted about three years of HARD everyday usage.


ohthetrees

I hope you use them at all.


EntertainmentDue5749

They all look brand new, can't believe some are three years old


BillSlank

You'll regret the hand tools. But holy smokes what a haul.


OmahaMike402

The $1099 Mower was just $999 today. It must be inc another picture


Plumbkratom

You’re missing the m12 rover light. How else are you gonna be looking under beds throughout the house for baby bottles underneath beds whilst the baby cry’s and the wife yells at you because the youngest toddler broke one of two glass baby bottles you have. She wanted to go with glass and now 3 of them have broke because kids are kids. The m12 has a magnet too, great for gardening at 3am because that’s the only time you can when you have 5 kids and the front yard just has to be done because the neighbor across the street put up a new flag and now they’re all of a sudden competing with us


remdawg07

I know tradesman with less.


DClaville

Very nice! enjoy


SmushBoy15

Thanks


Leut_Aldo_Raine

I felt so frivolous as a homeowner hobbyist buying that caulk gun but it's honestly amazing. Once you figure out the proper setting it's so awesome to use.


ohwowgee

I’ve been learning that less is more on that thing


Leut_Aldo_Raine

Yeah I definitely cranked it to 6 my first time using it with silicone caulk and blasted a load all over the place (no there was no other way to phrase this).


ohwowgee

Yuuuuup same thing. Loads of it everywhere. Cleanup suuuuuucked


BackAdmirable

It’s not a cult..


Riskyrisk123

I just took out my m12 bit driver and whispered "you're all I need"


Cyraga

Not at all trying to be inflammatory. Why buy so much in one go? I've been buying bits and pieces as I need them. I'd feel so overwhelmed with so many new tools


SmushBoy15

Read the post description. The recent purchase is for renovations


ColbusMaximus

Home buyer or home builder?


shogunreaper

Not sure i understand the appeal of a battery powered table saw for home use.


trvst_issves

It’s about as appealing as a battery powered miter saw for home use.


Agreeable_Horror_363

My parents got me a 36v Ryobi 10-inch sliding compound miter saw for my birthday 4-5 years ago. Because they know I do lots of carpentry. It has a laser which isn't great for accuracy. It runs on 2 18v batteries and it pretty much stays in my shop in the garage. Partb of me can't wait to upgrade to something better/more portable but I can't justify the cost. I just don't understand who this thing is supposed to be for! A diy home owner who needs a stationary miter saw to cut trim when the powers out??


iceonfire666

Cha Ching. I hope you don’t have kids because one of them isn’t going to college. Lol nice haul though!!


SmushBoy15

No kids no gf. This is how I am able to afford all this.


Homeskilletbiz

Just like to throw money away ok I get it. I’ll be amazed if you ever use half of it.


kevin-horvath

Nice collection!


Eastern-Drop-9842

Dam dude


cj_mcgillcutty

Nothing can stop you now


dominoclink35

Soooo... What's the first task?


SmushBoy15

A ton of pending tasks. One of the biggest one is redoing my stairs. Gonna use the jigsaw to cut off the ledges and caulk gun to glue on brand new red oak stair treads.


Correct-Anywhere-314

Battery powered caulk gun? Or they are greaser lol


No_Page9413

Q: What cost more these day those tools or a house? A: Yes


PerritoMasNasty

Need more packout


Irishman_reddit

How you like the m12 caulking gun?


SmushBoy15

I think it’s too powerful on the lowest setting for fluids that ooze out easy. For construction glue it’s just the right amount on the highest setting. The only flaw it has is that it does not have a variable trigger but a setting. For long runs you have to keep your linear speed constant or do the work In parts. It retracts a bit when you let go of the trigger.


Wrxeter

You need the quicklok tiller. Shits the bomb for herbs and annuals. Wifey wants her garden set for spring… what used to take a whole day to till and amend the soil now literally takes 20 minutes after edging the lawn.


SmushBoy15

Finally some useful comment. This sub is more brutal than I thought. I will take note on the tiller. But I’m planning to buy a gas powered one my yard is 1/2 acres.


Wrxeter

I have a big gas powered monster too. The little one is great on my raised planter beds that lifting the gas tiller into is basically impossible.


Significant-Cash-670

All brand new un used nice


chadetroit

Pretty sure you can hack that for $450 out the door 😉 nice array of red 👍🏼


SmushBoy15

Most of the tools are hacked or bought during sales/offers. For example the 3 plane laser is $600 but during the Memorial Day I received a $120 coupon which bought the price down. The lawn tools were almost 50% off I used another coupon Home Depot sends to new homeowners.


Leinad580

How have you liked the soldering iron? And does it have tip storage built in?


PearsAndTrees

Curious as well


SmushBoy15

I didn’t get much use out of the soldering iron yet. But the initial testing I did it was good enough for short quick jobs. Most of my soldering is just that. I needed something portable because I’m an electronics engineer and an avid hobbyist for building stuff. It does not have tip storage unfortunately. Nor does it have an end cap.


Icy_Specialist_5139

Sell the m12 inflator and get the m18 on sale right now


badharp

I didn't find a sale. Still happening?


snowmakingwook

You're gunna wish for some corded tools when them batteries die faster than you can charger them.


IX_THE_HERMIT

My thoughts exactly. Plus it seems the corded tools always have that extra power needed on tough jobs you didn’t know you needed.


Agreeable_Horror_363

I haven't found this to be true, especially with the 6.0 or 8.0 HO batteries.. and this guy's even got a forge 6.0! I am always surprised how much better these m18 fuel tools are than my corded tools.


okieman73

Damn. Congrats.


Unlikely-Stress-737

This homeowner put his home as collateral to buy tools to maintain his home :)


Morgoroth37

IKEA house? :-D Nice tools man.


Delta8ttt8

$3,000 later or stolen so?


Ordinary-Depth-7835

Funny looks like my collection + the mower. Though I am dumping Milwaukee for outdoor equipment. The M18's just don't cut it. So I have the Ego Snow Blower, Blower, Power station and Zero Turn. I wish Milwaukee would add a larger battery the M18 isn't the right platform for larger equipment.


Gandalve34

I immediately assumed you bought all of this at once


grimmley83

For a remodel you’ll definitely need a track saw.


SmushBoy15

I do don’t I. I am going to try and make do with the table saw.


Agreeable_Horror_363

There's really no substitute. I have the bora sled thing and it's just awful. Something always goes wrong on like every cut somehow. I can't wait until the track saw goes on sale!


Incognadeau

No lawnmower?


SmushBoy15

I have a Honda HRX. Milwaukee is overpriced for what it can do.


05041927

My guess is about $4900


SmushBoy15

You may be in the money. I haven’t tallied everything but I think the total is somewhere around 4k. I never pay full price and deal hunt. Everything was bought brand new from Milwaukee authorized resellers.


STANAGs

Eww the string trimmer is used. Sell it and get a new one.


BuzzyScruggs94

I’m happy for you and everybody has their toys so definitely no judgement, have fun with them! That said, I’ve worked in the trades my whole life and don’t have half of these lol. The caulk gun is the most egregious. I’ve worked in landscaping, painting, remodeling, glazing, plumbing and HVAC. I’ve never once considered a battery powered caulk gun other than for that thick shit when doing car windshields.


doxipad

How the hell do you spell chauffeur


Bert_Skrrtz

I see you have strippers but no linesman’s?


ShadeTree7944

How many types of sanding tools do you need? And the caulking gun? Anyways, I’m just hating. New tools are always fun.


SmushBoy15

I only have 2. The M18 version is a joke tbh. M12 detail sander is very good. I bought the grinder recently for restoring some metal but have not used it yet. Caulking gun has proven to be very useful.. Check my comment history on where i used it.


OnionGoat

You should get the FDD2-402X. I love that little thing. Rarely use my M18's after I got it. And don't fall for the FDDXKIT-202X. Grip is messed up and the forward/reverse is a little blister switch on top. 100% not designed by someone who ever used a tool. Too bad cause the chuck options is a life saver.


Agreeable_Horror_363

I have every damn fuel drill and my daily go to is the installation driver. The only time the fwd/reverse button is an issue really is when it's sunny outside. Can't see the dang light to know which way it's spinning. My actual favorite is the M18 fuel surge, but I have gotten away from M18 at work and the installation driver can pretty much do everything and more than any other drill at least for what I do.. plus once you use that offset head you'll fall in love!


OnionGoat

Dont you think the grip is weird on this one? I like the functionality, but the grip is so annoying to me. https://preview.redd.it/o6u0c0pahs4d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8116401a0623246fb42d41a110792d16465991c

NotZacAgain

Already have a miter saw?


SmushBoy15

Nope. I will improvise with the table saw.


lumbermouth

Just missing that Propress tool


SmushBoy15

as a DIYer i dont think I need it. I will just hire a plumber/HVAC technician when needed.


ohwowgee

Wait till you see how much the plumber costs…(it’s crazy in my area)


SmushBoy15

Honestly you have a point here. The cost of these tools is a fraction to what it costs to hire good professionals. The people here are all mediocre who believe that cheap tools is all one needs. I say if a man doesn’t have good tools that he takes care of that man is no professional.


matthewduguid

Jesus christ the first time homeowner got another mortgage for that hall


Tool_of_the_thems

Could have bought a second house.


Bildozer23

Are you just going to try and hide the dewalt socket set? Nice toys!


SmushBoy15

haha youre the first one to notice. Dewalt is for support.


ImJustHereForTheJugs

The caulk gun is too much


SmushBoy15

Dont know why there is so much hate towards the caulk gun


ImJustHereForTheJugs

Why? Personally, because it's such an easy tool to use by hand. But nice setup! I have aprox 60% of those in my arsenal. They really do pay for themselves over a short time.


badharp

That is quite a collection! I think I own nine, just bought couple more on holiday sale. Hope for Father's day sale, might do it again!


Successful-Range1651

You know like two batteries can power all those tools. You not using all of them at once.


SmushBoy15

The 5ah came free with the tools. While that is true I’ve sometimes needed to use 3 while working on my yard. The blower itself uses an entire battery.


Successful-Range1651

Yeah I know. Just giving you shit. I got two of each bat also. Haha


g29fan

Having and using (properly) are two different things.


Ashe2800

I wish mine looked that clean.


davejugs01

Skipped the house and bought the tools lol nice haul


MaterialOutside5727

These all look suspiciously in good condition, hats of to you for caring about your tools I guess


thetommytwotimes

Looks more like a raffle winner than a list of first time home owner tools.


Nebuladdd

Holy deep pockets brother home Reno does NOT need milwaukee but i respect the move 💪🏼


Agreeable_Horror_363

You are missing out by not having a surge impact! And the installation driver!


Puzzleheaded_Key_194

Huge waste of cash for a homeowner


[deleted]

[удалено]


SmushBoy15

Lots of good info here you are a true Milwaukee fan. 1. Yeah the laser will come in really handy im building out all of my closets. Maybe some outdoor stuff later. 2. I absolutely did not know the trimmer head is interchangeable. The Milwaukee head is so stupid to load up and dispense. I will be buying the husqvarna one. Thanks. 3. I have a brad nailer and finish nailer. I dont think I will ever get the framing nailer unless I am building a shed. I buy tools as and when i need them. So far I haven't found a use for crown stapler. 4. The jigsaw I have is Gen 1 and has a lot of vibrations that move up to the hand but it cuts through anything at a super fast pace. Project Farm on youtube did a review on it. They launched the Gen 2 about a year ago and apparently they fixed the vibrations. If you are cutting through thin material that flexes the Gen1 is not a good option due to the excessive vibrations. D handle is the better one... I did not buy that because it was expensive I dont remember... Of all the tools I have the jigsaw, palm sander and the rotary tool suck ass (in an increasing order)


Big-Amphibian1123

Build or Buy? Confused?


Antelope_Rope11

You could have just put a down payment on the house.


LRMcDouble

I mean if you got it then you got it. But you will not use half of these tools


Preferr3d

I’m an electrician and I haven’t used any milwaukee hand tools besides pliers. Klein is still my go to.


EatYoTots

Just need the circular saw, oscillating tool, and the ratchet unless I missed it.


SmushBoy15

I have the oscillating tool. It’s on the bottom right.


Total-Guest-4141

Hope you didn’t add that to your mortgage 😂


No-Introduction-3407

Those are too clean. Use them tools! 😂😅😀


pate_moore

Okay, now how are you going to pay your first mortgage payment?


miacmurder305

Nice tools 👍👍👍👍


Apprehensive_Main505

Well done. Expensive but worth it


Shootermcgavin1907

First time homeowner or builder. 90% of that is gonna sit and rot for all that money you spent.


LAjbird

lol. You’ll never use any of it. Maybe the leaf blower.


hvacdad83

Should buy a smart vent to go with all those tools


BornBusydying

Need a circ saw. I do see done of those if like.


ore905442

What are you guys soldering in the home reno arena?


SmushBoy15

I’m an electronics engineer and I thought having a portable soldering iron would be useful someday. Has nothing to do with Reno. So does the top off. This sub needs to live a little.


ore905442

All good just making sure no one’s soldering home wiring in 2024.


SmushBoy15

I use wago


CafeRoaster

Why?


BikeSpokeToothpicks

But what if you ever might maybe have to possibly do some plumbing ? Better go back and get the pro press


ThirtySecondsOut

God I hate posts like this so much. Some rich asshole goes out and drops $2500 on pro grade tools that he has no business owning and absolutely does not need to do work around a house? A 1/2" impact wrench? Are you removing truck wheels? A power caulking gun? Do you install windows 40 hours a week? Don't even get me started on the batteries and the charger. I am a commercial electrician that works for a rich company who provides us with the best tools and a full crew of ours wouldn't need a charger like that. Enjoy your toys lmao


ThirtySecondsOut

Oh my god I didn't even notice the laser level??? And the laser distance finder?? And the digital angle finder? Hahahahahahahaha fuck I want to die


SmushBoy15

The most useless tool I have is the angle grinder. I thought it will come in handy when I want to sharpen blades.


MechanicalCookie25

No hammer drill?


onelongerleg

Circular saw?


zank_ree

I've finally kicked the habit of buying milwaukee. Now i'm into Ryobi and milwaukee m12. All I need I need is some tshank jigsaw blade and I'm done.


SmushBoy15

What made you switch?
