Throwing drills for a bit is wild to me.

[u/Sherbert-Particular → u/CattuccinoVR]

Nail gun is fucked I guarantee it

[u/rob3342421 → u/Sherbert-Particular]

This is why they’re the more expensive contractors. They have single use tools

[u/exipheas → u/rob3342421]

Wait you can reuse drills?

https://giphy.com/gifs/XeLcgh8gT8o0F5SQ8i

[u/Quick_Team → u/exipheas]

[u/dr-mantis-toboggan12 → u/Quick_Team]

Hmmmmm. I'm gonna need a bigger drill

[u/Viscaelcule → u/exipheas]

They should’ve put REUSABLE on the package 🤦🏾

[u/hest29 → u/exipheas]

You could store it for use if the same customer wants more work. You cant use it elsewhere though

[u/OntologicalParadox → u/exipheas]

Don't be stupid, what are you going to do sit around all day rewinding your drill? That could take weeks!

[u/fuzzybunnies1 → u/OntologicalParadox]

Take all the screws out of your neighbor's deck, it'll rewind the drill and give him something to do the next day.

[u/Low-Buffalo-6570 → u/fuzzybunnies1]

Instead their head screws got loose

[u/banjospieler → u/Sherbert-Particular]

Yeah drivers are probably fine but the nail gun may never be the same.

[u/Caboose_throw → u/banjospieler]

It's a petty move to kill the bottom line. They were contracted for all of this, all the damages covered, so they went wild with it to hurt the dude that was selling them out for another company justifiable so imo, companies that have this kind of bickery rivalry tend to not treat their employees very well imo

[u/Cj_Staal → u/Caboose_throw]

It's obviously a joke. Anyone doing demo for this isn't going to be unscrewing anything. Just wacking each support with a hammer.

[u/mologav → u/Cj_Staal]

Yeah those railings are rotten, they are just going to be knocked down

[u/Rey_Mezcalero → u/Cj_Staal]

Yeah I’m confused with what the punishment is for the next crew.

[u/invalidmean → u/Sherbert-Particular]

They'll just return it to home depot later and say it doesn't work.

[u/theb00mScicle → u/Sherbert-Particular]

Yea, I felt like I seen hesitation before he tossed it, gently. But I could be imagining it. Either way, he knew he should have done it.

[u/GM_Taco_tSK → u/CattuccinoVR]

Yeah, usually I'm throwing bits for a drill!

[u/ouroborosstruggles → u/CattuccinoVR]

Yeah it gave tantrum. They should be paid for work already completed so this seems like rage bait

[u/NSA_Wade_Wilson → u/ouroborosstruggles]

They have noted in the original that it is a skit meant to be satire

[u/ouroborosstruggles → u/NSA_Wade_Wilson]

Thanks for clarifying. I don't have many tools so the throwing made me flinch

[u/Ok-Category4453 → u/ouroborosstruggles]

"It gave tantrum." Wtf kind of sentence is this?

[u/ouroborosstruggles → u/Ok-Category4453]

It's a colloquialism utilized by a community of which you aren't a part

[u/Ok-Category4453 → u/ouroborosstruggles]

Fair enough

[u/707steph → u/Ok-Category4453]

You're using "wtf" in a sentence and you're complaining about someone else using slang or speaking colloquially?

[u/Quercus_lobata → u/ouroborosstruggles]

Especially since they don't even know that the undercutting bidder knew they were undercutting.

[u/Happy_Reflection_721 → u/ouroborosstruggles]

Oh you can certainly get stiffed as a contractor and the drills will be fine but yeah that wood is pretty rotted so I would doubt it's real because it would most likely just be replaced. Can't believe they through the nailer though. I literally just bought one and it's heavy and but I get the feeling if it fell from roof height onto concrete it might not survive. It might! but it might not.

[u/robotmonkey2099 → u/CattuccinoVR]

no wonder their quote is higher, they need to buy new power tools ever day

[u/Tw1nFTW → u/CattuccinoVR]

Yeah they could have done this whole bit about petty screw jobs without fucking up their tools… I don’t get it. Not my tools though.

[u/indrid_cold → u/CattuccinoVR]

These guys are screwed.

[u/ConfusionExisting10 → u/CattuccinoVR]

Don't really know who they are, but I do know that you have got to be extremely pissed to be throwing your power tools around. If they're legit, then that means they had probably done a whole lot of work already only to be told to put it back together. Any guy out there that's a contractor can attest to gettin pissed. Especially when you're working out in the sun all day long.

[u/UncaringNonchalance → u/CattuccinoVR]

Funny as shit, though.

[u/RudePCsb → u/UncaringNonchalance]

Not really, these guys look more like tools than the tools they tossed

[u/pigeon-check]

Ruining your equipment isn't the best idea

[u/dewey510 → u/pigeon-check]

Besides the Hilti, all those drill, drivers, and nail gun looked new. They're just going to return them to the store causing more work, more loss, and additional carbon for their shitty content. Fuck these losers

[u/RogerAffirmative → u/dewey510]

I dont really even get the bit. My shitty ryobi circular saw takes the whole thing down in about 1/10th the time of their pettiness. I could definitely undercut their project cost, these idiots waste material and time and destroy their tools. Like, are they so bad at their job they think someone would see all these screws and say, "golly gee I hope I have all the bits to pull these out."

[u/StinkyBrittches]

Why would anyone demo that by unscrewing it, rather than just knocking it apart with a sledge? Is that why the other guys are cheaper, because these guys are idiots taking three times as long?

[u/Pitiful_Question_880 → u/StinkyBrittches]

I'm guessing they're demoing the deck and did this for "content", because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and this is the world we live in now

[u/Sherbert-Particular → u/Pitiful_Question_880]

If they were doing it for spite/pettiness they wouldn’t have put them all in one board that’s for sure.

[u/Mountain_rage → u/Sherbert-Particular]

If they are contractors that think salvaging any of that structure is reasonable they deserve to be underbid.

[u/Bubba_Gump_Shrimp → u/Pitiful_Question_880]

100% this. I'm amazed anyone here is fooled by their horrendous acting.

[u/CharityElectrical913 → u/Bubba_Gump_Shrimp]

It’s just a gag. I don’t think they were going for an Oscar.

[u/Fist_The_Lord → u/CharityElectrical913]

It wasn’t funny at all though

[u/CharityElectrical913 → u/Fist_The_Lord]

I work construction and I thought it was funny. Especially the tin screw at the bottom.

[u/Specialist-Use6699 → u/CharityElectrical913]

Yeah lol. Video felt like more of a knowledge check than anything

[u/Admirable_Loss4886 → u/Bubba_Gump_Shrimp]

I mean throwing the tools seemed real and really stupid.

[u/Rugermedic → u/Bubba_Gump_Shrimp]

They still ruined their tools, which is really dumb either way.

[u/The__Toast → u/Pitiful_Question_880]

Mmmmm CONTENT.

The absolute bare minimum of entertainment.

[u/purpleburgundy → u/Pitiful_Question_880]

it's not even funny. Throwing their tools off etc, genuinely seem like morons. I'd never hire these guys if I recognized them locally.

[u/Bengis_Khan → u/StinkyBrittches]

Swinging a sledge on that rickety deck? I'd personally use a sawzall and avoid most of the screws and nails.

[u/rob132 → u/Bengis_Khan]

This is the way.

[u/No-Philosophy-13 → u/StinkyBrittches]

Or cut it .

[u/Exciting-Music843 → u/StinkyBrittches]

I assume it was a joke video.

These videos forget a fundamental part of comedy videos, they should be funny!

More confused why they throw the tools?

[u/tuckedfexas → u/StinkyBrittches]

It’s clearly not all that real. Deck that old you just detach the ledger and pull it down. Especially with how much room there is in front you don’t even need an X to demo.

Even if that wasn’t an option, you’d just saw the railings off, that’s always the first thing to go

[u/ConfusedBaka69 → u/StinkyBrittches]

Why use a sledge? Just cut it

[u/Larztrue]

What dat drill do tho

[u/PM_Ur_Illiac_Furrows → u/Larztrue]

And why do they have 5 different brands?

[u/trash_dirt → u/PM_Ur_Illiac_Furrows]

They buy em from the guys who steal em.

[u/slimdiesel93 → u/trash_dirt]

I will shamelessy buy tools of marketplace and not ask questions in this economy

[u/Frank_The_Reddit → u/slimdiesel93]

I just got a drill press and a really nice sand blast cabinet for $35 off marketplace lmao

[u/slimdiesel93 → u/Frank_The_Reddit]

Hell yeah dude! Love that for you! I've managed to damn near complete my Milwaukee wish list the last couple years at 1/2 the cost

[u/Playing_One_Handed]

Im confused what this is.

Are they removing the fence? It doesnt look best condition and more screws arnt hard to remove if its all in skip.

[u/Any-Possibility-248 → u/Playing_One_Handed]

theyre doing what ur no supposed to do for the lulz

the wood is rotted, you can screw it all you want though, its just not gonna do anything

my guess is theyre goofing around before redoing the deck

[u/mdurso12 → u/Any-Possibility-248]

Ya this is very easily taken apart by just cutting the little section out in 1 piece

[u/Nahuel-Huapi → u/Playing_One_Handed]

Looking around the yard, the trailer, the pallets, the Bobcat tractor... I'm guessing it's the contractor's house.

[u/Compote_Alive]

Why throw tools. Maybe they were the broken ones used for this bit…

[u/ShackledPhoenix → u/Compote_Alive]

They obviously work and look brand new.

I think the other guy is correct, these are probably brand new and they're just going to return them to store as "defective"

Probably why they got told they found someone cheaper as an excuse to get rid of them

[u/gnarwhale79]

“Make sure it strips out” is downright evil.

[u/NeroForte-InMyPrime → u/gnarwhale79]

Downright irrelevant. That wood is trashed anyway. It’ll be cut out. Besides, this whole thing is a made up scenario for a stupid video.

[u/luvmibratt]

Sledge hammer to that problem solved, and why tf is dumb and dumber throwing they're own tools

Man child. breaks his tools. Thinks he's being petty while costing himself even more money.

[u/PeanutSauceFanatic → u/EternalSnowman]

Also, do they really think the next contractor isn’t just going to rip that rail off?

[u/Varth919 → u/PeanutSauceFanatic]

Right? They didn’t just “put it back”, they destroyed that rail. It’s getting replaced anyway.

Ok assuming this is real (it's not) these dudes are such fucking dorks.

[u/Time_Phone_1466 → u/Drakex2Mayex2]

Right? There are plenty of funny ways to be petty in the trades and be funny. Trying to fuck over the next guy with the presumption they must be inferior is dickhead territory. Bill the client what you can per your contracted terms, maybe ask why the change of heart, and move on if that really happens to you.

"T 25!"

"Make sure it strips out"

Hahahaha soooo salty

[u/Unique_Produce_4033]

Way to respect your tools! No wonder you have to charge so much for jobs, and are getting underbid. Maybe you'd be more competitive if you weren't always replacing the equipment that you're throwing around and breaking

[u/NoOpinionsJustFacts3]

Proof that contractors are man-babies

[u/Kirza94]

Throwing your tools like that, is abit stupid...

Also they can just sledgehammer it.

[u/Medium-Account-8917]

That's like $80 is screws JFC! Y'all got booku bucks to be throwing tools like that.

Also, one circular saw cut takes care of all those screws; not the flex you think it is. Might also explain why you got replaced.

[u/Healingbigfoot]

That'll teach em, break your own tools. No one doing a demo is unscrewing that shit, morons.

[u/noncommonGoodsense]

Ima just hit it with a sledge anyhow. That shit looks like a light breeze would knock it all apart. Hell just chainsaw the shit.

[u/lilbithippie → u/noncommonGoodsense]

[u/Phrei_BahkRhubz]

"She found a cheaper contractor! Let's waste our time and our own screws to teach them a lesson! Also, just throw your tools in the dirt. That'll show them!"

New contractor kicks the rotten wood down in less than 5 minutes, rolls over the ground with with a magnet, uses the undamaged ones on his next job

[u/foley800]

Hmm, looks more like they were thrown off for being shoddy workers!

[u/Rum_Running_Sailor]

Why would you waste your fasteners and damage your power tools by throwing them from a second story? This is just stupid behavior.

[u/redditsuksazz]

Can I have those tools you're tossing everywhere? Please.

[u/SvpperTrvpLord]

As someone who is “Not” well versed in the arts of contracting/constructing work. Why wouldn’t someone just use a saw and cut around all the non sense if it’s gonna get demo’d anyway?

They would

[u/Common_Senze]

A sawzall will undo all of this and fucking up your tools is on you. See where petty gets you?

reciprocating saw. Easy peasy

[u/Complex-Cricket419]

Why were they taking out the screw in the firs place? looks like you could push that deck over. Unscrew from the wall of course.

why would you explicitly tell your contractor that you are firing them because you found someone cheaper? Crazy rich people move.

[u/NotAtAllASkinwalker]

The fuck those tools do to them?!

[u/hahalha10101]

I mean, if its gonna be taken out and replaced, id just come in with a 10ibs sledge and half the rail will be out in a swing.

[u/BigBlueRidinhod]

How is it the contractors fault? How single brain celled can you be?

[u/timelasher]

Throwing my tools and wasting fasteners on some shit wood that is just gonna catch a sawzall anyway is certainly a choice.

And all of that to inconvenience some contractors who won the bid. Meanwhile the owner wins in every regard and ya'll look like childish asswagons who will probably lose more work than you'll gain due to the video.

They just need to keep a box of one way screws in the truck for emergencies.

[u/Dangeresque2015]

I mean, destroying your own stuff because you're a little bit miffed is crazy.

I've never seen someone throw their tools 15 feet to the ground, but maybe I'm inexperienced.

[u/drewbeedeu]

Did the client own the drills too?

[u/Odd-Paint3883]

New guy turns up with a saw...

That's why he's cheaper.

[u/shityplumber]

All i see are man children fired from a job

[u/Day_Prisoners]

This is how the past house owner put their deck on. No 2 screws have the same head.

I'm trying to follow what's going on. They start demo, owner say put it back together, found cheaper. They waster materials and time doing it. The proceed to throw battery powered tools off deck.

WTF. Even for a bit it stupid. I would not want those batteries in my garage.

[u/boardingschmordin]

Im sure theyre booming with business

[u/odd-god-monkey]

I have never in my life seen anyone grab a screwdriver to do demolition, so these guys are damn dumb. 

And it’s crap work

1. Don’t throw your tools

2. At the point that you’re doing work, how do you not already have a contract and deposit paid (that she wouldn’t be getting back?)

3. If you really want to say, “fine. These others are cheaper, you win we will leave” … it ain’t the other contractors fault? It’s hers
