In this show, The Handyguys detail the basic Handyguy Home Tool Kit that every homeowner should have. We also have our first free giveaway contest. Listen to the podcast for details.
But first, The Handyguys discuss a new Mantis Cordless Reel Mower
But what do The Handyguys think of this product? We have to be honest, we haven’t used it and aren’t exactly sure how it works. However, when he was a kid, Brian used a traditional reel mower

Hi, this is a fabulous idea for a site. I’ll have to come back & look around a bit more – My tool kit is an absolute mess at the moment.
ciao for now 🙂
This is a great idea. I’d always heard that a good pair of pliers is the #1 tool that any handy guy should carry…what do you think? It’s only #5 on the list…is there a reason for this?
Thanks.
Hey Flashlight guy,
Thanks for commenting. The tool kit is not listed in any particular order so there is no particular reason we listed pliers at #5. We think all of these tools are important.
Hey Guys,
I would add sawzall to that list!
thanks,
David
Thanks for the comment David – Yes, a sawzall, or reciprocating saw, is a valuable tool in a DIYers arsenal. We are not sure it is essential for a first or basic toolkit though. The handyguys recommend buying tools like this as you have a need for them.
