Your favorite landscape rake broke and you need another one? You might not be as well equipped as you think. We consulted our experts and came up with the complete list of construction tools you should bring with you to overcome any challenge.

Gas-Powered Construction Tools

 

  • 1x Jumping Jack
  • 1x Reversible Vibratory Plate (4-5,000 lb C.F.)

If you’re searching for a good quality plate compactor, Bartell Global is your best bet.

The new OSHA silica standard restricted our choices of masonry saw since american landscapers now get severely punished if they produce dust while cutting a block.

We don’t recommend wet cutting technology since it’s very messy. Consider getting a dry cutting with dust control masonry saw. You can read more about it in our Dry Cutting with Dust Control vs Wet Cutting article.
