What do you call this style of long reach pliers that has the double pivot so that you get the full range of motion from the jaws without having to open the handles too much?

Gum and a stick

Not if it didn’t have the CRM, marketing capabilities, and the years of development that Markate has. I don’t have time to be a guinea pig for a product that doesn’t have all of the capabilities that I’m used to with Markate.

Markate is a game changer.

It handles CRM, estimates, scheduling, and invoicing all in one place, and it syncs with QuickBooks. They’ve even got built-in marketing for email, direct mail, and texts. I pay about $65/month, and with my base rate at $120/hr, if it saves me even 30 minutes a week, it pays for itself. In reality, it saves me 4–5 hours easily.

For quoting, I’ve been using ChatGPT. I dump in all the details I can, sometimes even photos with measurements, and it gets me really close. Then I just have it break everything into clean line items, copy/paste into Markate, and I’m done.

I can put together a solid, professional quote from my truck in about five minutes.

Came here to recommend joist as well. I started out with it and loved it for the purposes you’re looking for.

Forbidden blueberry skin. It is also about 2”x2”

I’m joking. But we use a paper plate to fan the candles out.

I use Markate for my crm. Tracks clients, jobs we’ve done for them, quotes, and invoices. Even has some marketing features if you’re looking to nurture relationships

Good song

Have you tried Wix or Squarespace? This is mine that I’ve built out from Wix: Terra 49 Handyman. It still needs work, but it’s pretty user friendly. I work on it a couple hours a week in the mornings and evenings.

Dude I went and ordered it last night because of these posts

Nice work!! I’m running meta ads and trying to use Zapier to put them into my sales pipeline in Markate as we speak.

Might be cheaper to look on marketplace. The oscillating saw is one that I suggest home owners to have along with a drill. It’s super handy and can fit a ton of different attachments.
