The boss just bought some of those kinpex or whatever they are . They are the snap on channel locks and they are bad a*# but they are also 250$ for three pairs too much for this apprentice

My Knipex were about $40 for two at Lowes. Using 1 small and 1 medium together hasn't been an issue.

The red Husky bags tore holes in the pockets after a while, I went with the black Husky widemouth bag and have been happy since last Christmas.

Great start! It shows you take your job seriously. Be smart when it's time to add power tools.

I can't believe you guys all missed the most important starter tools of all. Get yourself a roundpoint, a sharpshooter and a pick axe son.

You gotta learn to dig a good ditch first.

Congrats

You must not have read my intro that's all in doing right now is digging I can dig a ditch look how do they look

Good job now get off your AZZ and fill it back in, what the hell ya doin layin' down on the job.

Don't forget to lay the sod back down so they can't tell you've been there. You did peel the sod back first right?
NO??

Don't pile the dirt so close to the edge. You'll learn more if you get your OSHA Competent Person card.

An angle grinder can turn a shovel into a root slaying machete.

That guy on the ground is the JP watching cub dig the hole. Notice how clean JP stays. We let him use the mini excavater it's called a shovel.

First off your lazy lol Jk but I did not use a mini I used my arms and second off I have my OSHA 10 and competent person car I was a laborer before this I know the rules

I second the spray painting and scribing of your tools. I've got a few tools that my apprentices use a lot, and it's easy to spot who has em because of my paint job.
