Description

Eric G and John Dudley dive into a delightful discussion about their top ten favorite tools for construction and DIY projects. With a casual vibe that feels like you're just hanging out with friends, they reminisce about the early days of their DIY adventures. Eric hilariously recounts how he would sneak in the cost of new tools into project budgets, all while trying to maintain peace with his significant other. The duo emphasizes the importance of tool rental centers, especially for those one-off projects where you don't want a full-sized tool taking up space in your garage. They poke fun at big box stores, sharing their preferences for local rental places where tools are well-maintained and up-to-date, ensuring that you get a quality experience without the hassle. With plenty of sarcastic humor, they explore the absurdity of struggling with outdated tools, and how the right ones can save time and money, making DIY projects not just possible, but actually enjoyable.
