We Asked A Bunch Of Tradies To Judge DIY TikTok Jobs From Dodgy As Hell To Total Pro

Step right up ye tradies, ye tradie adjacent, and all of you looking for a safer shoe. Blundstone has released a new boot that hits all the right ticks on the safety scale and is slick as hell to boot.
They’re called RotoFlex, and they’re the perfect pit stop if you’re after some new tires. In the spirit of all things tradie, we decided to hit up some of our tradie mates to get them to judge some fun, smart, and downright weird TradieToks (I’m so sorry for that). Enjoy!

“Ahhh the classic ‘rooted’ stormwater. The plumber in the video looks to be all over it. The property obviously has some blocked stormwater pipes and when it was raining water overflowing causing flooding. The owners have got a plumber in to see what’s going on and as he has cut the PVC pipes open he’s seen the cause “totally rooted”. Very satisfying when you pull out a big root like that.”

Somone keeps taken a dump on site anywhere on the ground instead of going to the toielt #fyp #construction #plumbing #australia #fypシ

“Just the boys on site with the classic stitch-up of using the floor and not the toilet. Always funny seeing the site manager lose it over a funny prank. Very rank but funny reactions! Ballsy move by the culprit.”

“Hahaha, this is a plumber’s worst nightmare. A leak on the mains water line. These lads look to be trying to clamp and stop a leak. The water pressure is too high and the boys aren’t having much luck. The hole is filling up and they are working blind. Deadset nightmare. That’s a job you leave for Sydney water!”

“Often in construction, you can’t always get a second pair of hands and have to be a little creative to get yourself out of trouble. These top tips definitely make life easier working by yourself. I just wished I had known them sooner, it would have saved me some time. 8/10.”

“This video is gold! The poor apprentice doesn’t have a clue what he’s done wrong, if only we could have seen him try and close the door. I bet he definitely won’t make that mistake again, a good learning curve for the young carpenter. 9/10 great content.”

Did I forget to show you how I actually mounted them on the wall? Oops! Here ya go! #wallmount #floatingshelves #install #carpentry #woodworking #shelves #diy #4u

“Bit of a different carpentry video, it’s a cool DIY woodworking project to improve the style of your living space and to add more storage. Projects like this can be performed by anyone that is competent in power tools so don’t be afraid to have a go, you might find that you love it. 7/10.”

“Okay, inches? Might as well be measuring in King’s Hands or something but damn they are good with a tape. I’m absolutely using those tricks. Actually, the more I think about it, the effort of locking my tape and folding it in half — I’m probably just gonna measure it as normal and use my brain.”
