Carpenter Tries the Cheapest Hammer on Amazon

go one ticket yes damn it miss go again 
Scott Brown here check this out this is   the cheapest hammer you can buy on 
Amazon well at least it was a month   or so ago when I bought it seven dollars 84 
New Zealand let's go to work and try it out I mean the fact that you can buy a hammer for so   cheap begs the question should 
you spend good money on tools I mean if this one here costs $7 84 and this one 
here cost $300 that's a big discrepancy now I'm   gonna admit right now that there's a terrible 
comparison this hammer doesn't have the same   use that this hammer has this is phat hammering in 
like small pin nails and this is for framing but   well where will compare them anyway just for the 
sake of the video so I know I can buy a titanium   hammer the cheaper probably half the price that I 
paid for mine but by the time you pay for shipping   and everything it'll probably work out the same 
that seven dollar 84 hammer actually cost me so you have to spend good money to get good 
tools here in New Zealand for example this   will cost you $300 without the battery this 
$360 without the battery this here $180 for   their level you can go somewhere between the 
seven dollar hammer and the $300 hammer that's   for sure a nest wing for example will cost 
you about $80 here in New Zealand that's   what I had before my current hammer and that 
thing lasted me 10 years and that is why you   pay for quality the cheapest hammer on Amazon 
there's some Vivienne passed the drop tests   you can make the switch Oh looks good let's do 
the test first we'll use the 300 ala Hema well   oh my gosh it hasn't got the magnet but okay 
then like I said earlier this isn't meant for   framing so this is a little little unfair on this 
hammer so let's try a pin 45 mil pins let's try where's but not for Coventry so there is no 
real benefit in comparing these two hammers   on this video because you figure out the value 
of tools as you use them and you figure out the   value of good tools over time so this one cost 
me $300 but my previous earring cost me like   a hundred bucks when I bought it and it lasted 
me 10 years so that's a pretty good value where   if I use this every day for 10 years I don't 
know it might look like a toothpick at the end now having said all of that I'm going to 
contradict myself now you don't have to get   the most high quality best tools you pretty 
much just get the best tools you can afford   so if you're going to buy a level and you're an 
apprentice you can afford to buy a Stabila or   something of that quality get there because 
you're likely to have it for because you're   likely to have it for at least 10 years like I 
did with my first level so spin the money you   can afford to spend just what I'm saying what's 
your spending money on tools Potter does anyone   to ask you about spending good money on tools 
this Hueber what's your philosophy on spinning   good money on tools ah my philosophy on yeah 
really good screwdriver yeah but I'm not a   spiky so he cute shirt I think I have a bit of a 
different take on tools I rather have it when I   need it and then not have it when I need it kind 
of thing mmm that's why I have a ton of tools in   the garage that's the reason why bro so you pretty 
much buy them as you need them yep now that you've   got your place bro you'll be probably buying 
more tools you probably give me a spark in there   to pull me Kindle a shovel yeah ten bucks per 
head of cracking in the way yeah I'm talking 25 alright let's try the 20 something else 
25 25 hours wow that's heavy but it   thinks that yeah now this is my beloved 
okay no this is my beloved born dilute love it and now you have the mini 14 ounce this 
is even a lighter and it's got that cool pulley   on the side there let's do that dance and now 
the East Wing what he called us from whether   it's the new titania on a aluminum one but I 
can remember the model number oh nice so you   can take the hit off it Kenyon yeah and it's 
got like like um little shops in there so X   like a shot curves over so what's the like 
for like pulling out now mm-hmm I like the   little bit can you do it like that I'd you have 
to get it started some other way yeah yeah it   kind of work this is yeah this is how to pull 
out it straight let's vote shall we argue all   you think is doing it you think is right uh-huh 
I'm kind of leaning towards this is uh I think   this is the winner Hey look you can check the 
hit off or can you hit the it office yeah here   you can take the head off and put a mill did do 
that the mode head is sort of like a golf ball   and it provides grip I guess right what are you 
doing finishing everybody knows that you missed oh speaking of spending money on tools and 
organizing tools and vans last week this is   way too windy last week the fist of guys got 
in touch one of the fiscal people had seen   the video where Cameron and I compared our vans 
and the hidden and the head of Festool marketing   was happened to be in New Zealand and he came 
and looked at Cameron's van yeah so what do you   think of that bar well that that's great it's 
it's amazing how how organized he is and this   is what we experience all over the world that 
this is what his customers recognized yeah so   he he likes to reorganize with this with his van 
and this is way how he's doing his job yeah no   yeah this brings new customers to him so that's 
that's great this is how idea and he and he's just   promised that when our new table saw thoughts 
he sells his Dewalt one and buys a festival how do we finish this episode camera wow that's 
be another exciting episode of Scuppernong   coventry and stay tuned and we'll do something 
very exhilarating in the next one see you then let's turn it out of it
