Alright, I’m just gonna address it directly because my DMs and comment sections have been going crazy ever since I posted that tool haul.
“Bro, how do you afford all of this?”
Packouts. M18 FUEL impact. Circular saw. The whole setup. People see it and immediately assume I’ve got some rich uncle or I’m financing everything on a credit card. Neither. Real talk — I’m a content creator. My income used to be all over the place. Brand deals come and go, ad revenue is a joke half the time, and I was genuinely stressed about how to keep building my shop without going broke.
So I started looking for ways to earn something consistent on the side. Not a second job. Not some pyramid scheme. Just something I could do in my downtime — while I’m watching YouTube, editing a video, waiting for a coat of finish to dry. You know, the in-between moments that add up to hours every week.
“I wasn’t looking to replace my income. I just wanted a reliable way to buy tools without feeling guilty about it.”
And that’s exactly what I found. Let me break it down.
The Real Answer
There’s an app called Freecash. I know, I know — you’ve probably seen a dozen of these “get paid to do stuff on your phone” things and they’re usually garbage. I was skeptical too. But a buddy of mine who runs a similar channel mentioned it and said he’d pulled around $300 in a slow month just messing around on it between filming sessions.
So I tried it. And honestly? It’s not life-changing money. I’m not gonna sit here and tell you I made $10K in a week. That’s not how it works. But $100 to $500+ a month for stuff I was already doing — trying out apps, testing games, completing simple tasks? That adds up fast when you’re buying tools.
One M18 FUEL impact driver is like $180. Two months of casual Freecash usage covered that. No cap.
The key thing is it’s not passive income. Let’s be real. You gotta put in some time. But it’s the kind of time you’re already burning anyway. I do most of mine while I’m watching teardown videos or letting a render finish. It’s productive dead time.

Buy tools
This is the part where I order the thing I’ve been eyeing for three months and don’t feel bad about it.
The offers that pay the most are usually the ones where you try a game and hit a certain level within a timeframe. Sounds tedious but honestly some of those games are actually fun. I’ve spent worse evenings.
The Tool Haul Breakdown
Here’s an honest breakdown of what I’ve bought this year using money from Freecash. I’m not saying every single dollar came from the app — some months I earned more from content and used that too. But this is the stuff where Freecash genuinely covered most or all of it:
And that’s just the stuff I tracked. There’s also random bits — blades, bits, accessories, a few things I grabbed on sale. The point is: this money is real and it adds up.
Is It Worth Your Time?
Depends on what you’re trying to do. If you want to replace a full-time income — no, this isn’t that. But if you want a legitimate, flexible way to stack $100–$500 a month doing stuff on your phone during downtime? Yeah, it’s genuinely worth it.
As a creator, I’m already glued to my phone half the day. Might as well get something out of that time beyond likes and comments. The fact that it’s turned into real Milwaukee gear in my shop is just the proof that it works.
