The tutorial is saying

once the studs are laid out we're going to put them in place, leave their hammer or nail gun.

I guess leave means using here. That guy indeed use nail gun a few seconds later.

So, what are the situations where "leave" mean "by using"?

    I'm not convinced it says leave. I can't be certain, because he has a fairly strong accent with which I'm not familiar, and the audio quality isn't great at my end, but I think he says either "we'll need a hammer or nail gun" or "with either a hammer or nail gun".

    It's "...in place. With either a hammer or nail gun."

  • @mkennedy is correct, the man says "with either a hammer or nail gun".

There appears to be a small consensus that the man actually says "with either a hammer or nail gun", not "leave".

As to the question as originally asked, based on the wording originally (mis)heard, the short answer is that leave does not mean "by using".
