Kruger Construction

This is the @Kneel It It’s great for installing floor, grinding floors and pretty much any task that you need to move around on your knees • They just added a chest support adaptor to help you lean forward and take the pressure off your back • This thing is completely tool free and we have never had a problem with it scratching a floor . . . #tools #construction #kneelit #floor #flooring

Over 20 hrs already on my little Kubota! • They say grease the loader every 8-10 hrs with normal use. I’m sure it’s a bit overkill • These are pins on bushings that I’m greasing not sealed bushings so don’t get wild. • 12 spots to grease on the loader alone. If you are running equipment this 18v Makita greasegun gets the job done quick @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makitapartner #makita #kubota #kubotatractor

Between the snowblower and snow plow we get a lot of rocks on the lawn over winter • Using this Makita paddle sweeper just makes it so easy to clean up • This is an attachment that goes into the 18v X2 power head @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitatools #lawn #spring #cleanup #landscape

Talk about a compact portable pressure washer! • This @EGO is the smallest I’ve seen with this type of pressure • 2100 psi with 1.2 gpm • You can hook it up to a hose or siphon from a bucket or jug • It really came handy when I had a vehicle in a car show and it rained all the way there, I rinsed it off with this and pulled into the building . . . #tools #construction #egopowerplus #pressurewasher #clean #cleaning #Summer #yardwork

I thought I’d do a runtime test with the Makita 80v breaker but it didn’t even break a sweat • I can hardly believe it was still showing full batteries on both 8ah 40v’s • This thing hits hard and the Anti vibration technology (AVT) makes all the difference • Now it’s time for the worst part, cleaning this up @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitapartner #makitatools #concrete

I’ve been asked a lot if the silicone bucket liners like the @bucketsaver_ work for drywall mud • If you are looking for it to dry fully and fall out in a chunk like thinset it won’t, the bottom layer won’t dry • It does cleanup quick with a hose but it doesn’t completely dry • Running the @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA mixer that we got before the tools were first originally released and it’s still going strong, I can’t imagine how many boxes of mud it’s mixed now as well as thinset, grout and even concrete . . . #tools #construction #flex #flexpartner #flexpowertools #drywall #drywaller

Here’s the @SpliSeal.com hanger mold • This are a complete waterproof connection using a potting polymer. • I’m trying out this @felowerkzeugfabrik wire stripper I got from @KCITools It works really good on the 14g wire. It works on 24g-10g . . . #tools #construction #mechanic #wiring

Here we go! Got a Topogrphic Pro Grille for the 4Runner from @Taco Vinyl • Super straight forward to put on but the little factory clips are an absolute pain to release, the @gearwrenchtools pick set absolutely saved the day . . . #tools #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools #mechanic #4runner #tacovinyl #toyota #toyota4runner

Today we measure things by hand • As you can see this 16-5/16 blade on this Cordless 40v XGT saw is massive! • 6-1/4 cutting capacity at 90° and 4-3/16 at 45° This saw is now available in North America @Makita Tools USA . . . #tools #construction #makita #makitatools #framing

This is genius! Continues Bag system from @Hilti North America • I wanted to show that even with super fine dust the filter won’t plug up because it taps itself out well working • There is now no pulling the vac apart to clean out the canister, just zip tie the bottom of the bag, cut it and get back to work! • This system worked amazing for grinding floors and I know it would work the same for drywall dust . . . #tools #construction #Hilti #hiltitools #hiltipartner #flooring #concrete

We’ve all had nails blow out the side of material • Try turning your nailer 90° and it will likely not happen. Pins, Brad and some finishing nails have a chiseled end so sometimes they take off to the side. • Here’s the @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA 16g 20° finish nailer, quick depth adjustment and lots of lights on this. The tiny 2.0 stacked battery keeps the weight down . . . #tools #construction #flexpowertools #carpentry

Our second summer with this @EGO Bike • I thought it was going to be more of a kids bike but that’s not the case at all • It runs on the same batteries as all their tools like the mowers and snow blowers • It’s been great for ripping around on the gravel roads and trails

Here’s the @PeakSuspension summit front suspension that I put on the 4Runner • These are adjustable and have it the lift I needed to fit the bigger wheels • The kit also comes with an upper control arm. • The ride from the previous shocks is night and day. Super smooth for daily driving and great articulation and handles the trails with ease! • Great part is these are aluminum so they won’t be rusting like other brands over a couple winters • After I torque with the @gearwrenchtools wrench I give a quick mark with a paint pen so I know it’s been done. I tend to second guess myself. You can get this setup @4Runner Lifestyle . . . #tools #mechanic #gearwrench #gearwrenchtools #peaksuspension #offroad #4runner #4runnerlifestyle

I can now confirm that the @kinetic.customs Titanium Nighthawk is even nicer in person • Made sure I followed their instruction by torquing the bolt to 29.5 ft-lb with the @gearwrenchtools torque wrench • Little bit of a Optimus Prime vibe going on here with the colors I picked . . . #tools #construction #hammer #titanium #gearwrench #workofart #kineticcustoms #titaniumhammer

Installing the @PeakSuspension Summit kit to give the 4Runner a better ride on and off road as well as lift it up for bigger wheels • Here I’m swapping out the back shocks and adding the adjustable coil spring that comes with the kit • The Runner is sitting a bit high in the back but once we add everything we have planned it will lower • Next week I’ll post the fronts and tell you what I think of the new setup @gearwrenchtools @FLEXPOWERTOOLSNA . . . #offroad #peaksuspension #tools #mechanic #4runner #4runnerlifestyle #toyota #suspension

Giving this New Gen 2 Nuron cut off saw a go! • This walkway/slab slopes towards the house so its time to go, I’m going to build little deck here instead • I had 2 batteries that haven’t been charged in months, some other brands would have almost fully lost their charge but these Nuron batteries were still showing full • I got just over 20ft at full depth in this old concrete and I wasn’t taking it easy on this saw • The extra power is noticeable on this Gen 2 • Also I love the battery powered water tank, no pumping! @Hilti North America . . . #tools #construction #Hilti #hiltipartner #concrete

The amount of mods you can do on the 4Runners seems endless, 3 I’m doing here just on a mirror! • It’s nice to get rid of those little convex stick on mirrors and add these built in ones from @4Runner Lifestyle • While I’m at it I added these smoked out sequential turn signals also from @4runnerlifestyle • The last one is the @mesocustoms puddle light, the old ones were so dim I didn’t even know they were there. These are also available @4runnerlifestyle • I did all this with just one @gearwrenchtools phillips screwdriver • We are hardly even starts on this build and I feel like I’ve changed so much! . . . #tools #gearwrenchpartner #gearwrench #4runner #4runnerlifestyle #mechanic #overland #toyota #toyota4runner #mesocustoms

The Makita framing nailer is here!!! Just after we finish framing a basement haha • But here it is on bump fire mode easily sinking these 3-1/4 ardox nails • Now this one is the full head 21°, in Canada most of us use clipped 30° nails. So far from looking around only this 21° is available for preorder at stores but I’m sure the 30° will be coming. • This is an 18v LXT tool, I know a lot of Makita users were scared when 40v XGT was announced that Makita would abandon the 18v lineup but they certainly haven’t. I’m sure they will eventually drop a XGT nailer too @Makita Tools USA @Makita Canada Inc. . . . #tools #construction #framing #makita #makitatools #makitaframingnailer

A ladder to climb on the roof if I drive in a river is an absolute necessity • This the @Prinsu Design Studio 4Runner ladder, super easy to assemble and install, the only thing is making sure you drill the holes in the right place. • My 6 year old daughter is gonna love climbing this thing, maybe I should by the first to add a slide? • Best part is this will work with the @CBI Offroad Fab swing out bumper we are putting on • @gearwrenchtools 🤘 . . . #tools #construction #gearwrenchpartner #mechanic #cbi #prinsu #offroad #4runner #toyota4runnertrdoffroad

Swapped out the 4Runner steering wheel for this Carbon Fiber one from @4Runner Lifestyle • Since I had it all apart might as well do the @mesocustoms volume fix. It takes the volume up and down from side to side to being up and down • This is a pretty straight forward swap but it’s also sketchy working with an airbag. • Nice part about the @gearwrenchtools MegaMod setup that I have is I got pretty much every tool to get things done 🤘 . . . #tools #gearwrenchpartner #4runner #gearwrench #4runnerlifestyle #mechanic #overlandbuild #overland #toyota4runner
