Hello, guys Kirk and J here with Kirk giordano plastering,
Today or just I'm gonna explain something a little bit different than what we generally do,
like explaining how to do plaster but talk about tool belts today why because it's important a
lot of you guys you text me you email me and say Jay Kirk which tool belt should we
use and that's a good question because there are so many and so many of them are useless.
And so there are just a few good ones guys for what we do as a living as lathers. I thought I'd
show it to you, okay guys. Generally, everybody got a different pattern. I say for me if now if
I'm doing paper and wire lather, I take the paper I put everything I need right here okay
a hammer tacker you got to put the moisture barriers up then I got all my staples here
I just dumped my box into my bag here most important thing a measuring tape and notice
this measuring tape right here it's square it won't fall out most of all these are how
this weird pocket this weird pocket hangs open and guess what when you're on scaffold. You're
three stories high you bend over it falls out if it hits somebody in the head, three stages below
it hurt it's kind of like here's another thing that I want to explain about belts these belts
right here this is the biggest scam in history. All right, you see how they have this metal
right here, and they have the metal on the other side. I've had to buy a
few of these because I had nothing else, and I thought, well, I need something.
I'll tell you what a pair of blue jeans in a hoodie to put all your stuff in is
better than this kind of belt right here. Why? Because if you're on the scaffold,
and you have a hammer first thing that happens. If the hammer hits the plank,
comes out, and falls out now, it's bad enough if you got it if you're up four or five stories. You
got to walk all the way down and get it, but what if the hammer hits somebody in the face,
or the head and the snips always come out they just with these maybe you seized a belt with these
right here don't buy it guys another thing to while we're on the subject of these belts and guys
I've been lathing for 40 years that's a long time. I've had every belt known to man and then some
belts to avoid if you go to any of the plastic material yards they have
these genuine leather belts, they come in three pieces I cost you about 200 bucks;
I've been so desperate I bought one of those and gave them both away after like a week they're
worthless you want something that is one pouch carries all if there are three separate pouches.
You're paying 40 a pouch, and they're just useless.
They're not useful. They're useless, guys. Another thing is these quick releases are great.
These quick releases, okay, lunchtime comes. I just click off boom, and it's out. Of course,
I just unclick my Mic, but hopefully, I will click this back on here. I don't jack up the sound,
so if you get a quick release that's better than I've had, I've thrown away about 20 belts in the
40 years I've been making this trade. You can get cheap belts like these right here not a bad belt;
I'd rather have this than one with these metal pieces on the ends. Now notice the one. This is
my preferred belt, guys, right here because it'll hold a hammer. It's comfortable if you're on plank
you're laying down it holds them see these two useless once more never buy a belt for lathing,
that has these guys right here you will hate it these were in my garage because
they're outdated sometimes I have a lot of guys working with me and so we
all need belts this is my brother Lou's belt. Lou's got a broken foot still. Usually, we cut
a sleeping bag in half, which is good enough for Lou. But Lou's 270, so this works for him; guys.
He's a big boy, so he loves this belt right here. It's hard to find one to fit him. Another thing
I'll tell you is that one of the best belts on Amazon is this pinkish purplish one, 27 bucks guys,
and it has everything. It has a quick release. It has this belt right here, so you don't lose
your tools on the scalpel. It's got everything you need. It's just kind of a weird color.
I'd wear it except I don't like the color you know that's like I won't wear purple pants either but
this is the best deal on Amazon and what I mention Amazon because I took the liberty of
I mean we've been doing videos for 10 years we've got about 800 and yeah that in every video we have
a description it says go to Amazon where we make a couple bucks on Amazon but I tell you this for
free even if we didn't make any money on Amazon because I know all this stuff I've been doing it
I mean for example this compressor it makes it's soundless it doesn't make any noise if you guys
like my explanation of belts say Kirk give us another explanation of all your compressors I
have about 10 and I've had 30 or 40 of them in 40 years I like this one because it's quiet it's from
Italy no noise anyway getting back to the belts this particular one holds everything I mean I
could even put my gun on it and it's not cheap so it'll hold it a lot of these belts are cheap
a lot of them are good this one here I'll tell you what they're charging on Amazon I'm just guessing
now because I'm not sure but this one here is a craft belt if you click on Amazon this one I
show up I think this is one of the most expensive ones it's like 150 this is the one Jay and I both
use right here now my daughter mal is she says dad I don't know wearing that purple belt or whatever
color it is and I say fine you don't have to my other daughter Luily loves it because she likes
the color and it is one of the better deals on line this these right here about uh I don't know
a hundred bucks they're kind of useless too. Because you see how big that is that will drop
your tape measure every time it's it's frustrating - you think it's bad enough when you're on scuffle
and you're worried about hitting somebody try walking down three stories just because you got
this belt right here where it just falls out so you want one with a belt like like this right
here it's a firm grip this isn't going anywhere I don't I don't even have to put it in and lock
it in it just doesn't go anywhere it's perfect there are a lot of a lot of different reasons
why to buy the right belt like this one here the latch I don't like it and I've bought I bought
all these in the past the ones I say to avoid are the ones in all the plaster and material yards so
just to give you a rough idea that's what would hit you about 150 bucks this will hit you about
thirty bucks this one here I think it's a 140 he kind of get what you pay for it's garbage
these little guys here you can buy these anywhere Home Depot and all that but these are real drags
see this metal when you're on the scaffold or when you're trying to sit down for coffee you
better take it off because it digs in your back no fun guys so always remember a quick
release I can go on and tell you a whole bunch of stuff about this but if you're interested
just go to our amazon site and now it was a out in attorney's office and we were sitting there
and I told my friend I said dude you're paying this guy you have an appointment we're sitting
in this room 20 minutes now let's just leave any and then we got it dawned on us that he had a big
sign it says I've been doing this 50 years. So I charge 500 an hour because you pay for
my time in hey we everything we do, we show you guys for nothing you can't beat that if we get
a few bucks on Amazon, you know what it helps put food on the table that's that work so anyway guys
I'm trying to direct you to the Amazon site. After all, I had already done all the homework
because I needed them for us, and I got five kids. We all wear these belts, especially Lou.
So I have to know what we're doing, guys, and I thought I'd share these tips with you
and everybody again. This is my setup for easy access because when I'm lathing, I don't mess
around. So we get a job done quickly, so again, if you like it, you say it. Kirk does something
similar and shows us all your compressors, which are good and which are too heavy,
too bulky, and just too pricey and useless. Let me know, guys, anyway. My name is Kirk.
