On this channel I review tools that I use on a regular basis. The majority of these tools were bought when I was a professional handyman carrying out a wide range of property maintenance tasks. I have a vast selection of quality used tools and tool boxes to review, but will also review new tools as and when I get them. I hope you enjoy the content.

Dewalt 18v Drill and impact driver review.
Great bag, I carry a short saw behind the rear flap
Yeah, I am so happy with it. What type of short saw do you mean? A floorboard saw?
They look pretty nice. I dont mind Teng Tools.
@@aussiehardwood6196 yeah, they make some pretty good tools for the price.👍
Had these 3 years, I don’t work in the trade anymore but I still occasionally wear them around our farm. Brilliant, Built Tough like they claim. No BS there. I’ve had boots that the bottom sole has come apart from the boot just after a month or so. But these are exceptionally good. Like you said in the other comment yeah they’re not great working in wet conditions as once it hits the laces your feet are soaking wet, which is one thing I don’t really like about them. But their build quality is amazing, been through fitting windows, roofing, farm work, concrete production the list goes on and they’re still all in one piece. If you’re after a great, affordable boot these are the ones
@@OddballLewis thanks, I reckon these are going to be good. For the £30 I paid they seem like a bargain 👍.
Electrician boots
@@kylew27 yeah definitly. I wouldn't want to dig up roads or do any ground works in them, but for working in relatively finished interiors they'll be pretty good. I'll be using them for plumbing.👍
I went through a few of them then i bought a pair of Puma Rio. Never anything again.
@@robybling I like the look of the low cut trainer version of those, thanks for the recommendation.👍
The BOA,s are the boys
I've always liked Dewalt boots. Unless there has been a marked dip in the quality recently, they should last a very long time. ....I'm still on my last pair which I bought about 15 years ago!
@@davidhull2060 Agreed, I'm expecting good things from these. They've been put a long time and I see a lot of younger guys and apprentices wearing them. I couldn't say no for 30, and so long as they last a couple of seasons I'll be happy. Have you ever had the rigger boots they make? I want to pick-up a set of those again soon.
Mine are the Riggers. Super tough, virtually indestructible, but they are very stiff with the steel mid sole and they are heavy....a bit like deep sea divers lead boots, but that's the nature of a Rigger boot🤣
@@davidhull2060 yeah that's the ones 😄 I love those things, so comfortable, great for outdoor work.
Taiwan?
Nope, Spain 👍
You have a new sub right here
@@Donthetoolman Thank you Don, great to have you on board.
The best hammers in the world definitely worth handing down I still have my estwing
Agreed, absolutly amazing hammers.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse yes they are I have mine from 1994 I got it posted on my TH-cam channel I bought it used so I really don't know how old it is it is something that I will never get rid of I have three girls so I don't know who I'm going to give it to you before I'm gone they're not interested in tools maybe I'll donate all my tools to the tool Museum
@@Donthetoolman maybe find a young helpful local guy that's starting out and might appreciate it and leave a lasting memory.
@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse that's a great idea thanks
Sorry to be a bit pernickety, but is the Wera not made in the Czech Republic and the Klein in Taiwan? I would have to confess to having a bit of an obsession with ratchet screwdrivers and have amassed quite a collection over the years. You cannot go wrong with any of the Wera variants for comfort, strength and durability. Another favourite is the Bahco type which can also be found branded as Sealey, Stahlwille, Blue Point , Britool Expert and several others. But my favourite has to be Snap On...the prices are eye watering, but in my experience they are stronger and longer lasting than any other brand. The Snap On is manufactured by Williams tools and rebranded, and a couple of years back I found that you could buy the Williams version of the T handled Snap on for about one third of the cost on Amazon. These are available in stubby, standard and long lengths and have become my go to ratchet drivers. As usual with US sourced products there are few bits supplied and obviously no Pozi....I don't think the Americans use much else other than Phillips, Robertson and torx screws. As a man who appreciates proper quality tools, you would probably like these.👍
@@davidhull2060 That's a great post mate thank you. Yes you're right about the Wera, supposedly some stuff is made in Germany, and some in CR. And Klein outsource some stuff too but not entirely sure which bits. I'd love the snap on ratcheting screwdriver, but the price puts me off also. Have you ever seen the CK ratchet driver? It's so similar in many ways to the snap on (not as pretty though) and feels amazing, i.e no clicks. I've always wondered if it was made in the same place but with more simple specs, any idea? I'll pick up the bahco one day, you can almost never go wrong with that brand.
A must have tool, i use the erbauer blades out of screwfix but il try amazon, good tip.
Erbauer tools and supplies are great for the price. But when it comes to blades we are being ripped off IMO. Let me know which brand you go for and how they compare.👍
1970's thru 1980's 2mm clutch lead holders, for me: KOH-I-NOOR, England EAGLE Turquoise, Staedler, etc. Built to last, tough as nails, and great for drafting, marking tiles, wood, and other materials.
I have the 3 speed model and the blades I usually use are Smart brand from Travis Perkins. The Metalbuster blade is amazing for small bolts and copper waste pipes, it's my go-to blade for those things
Aside from the 3 speed are there any other notable differences? I'll check those blades out next time I'm in Travis. I always used to use Saxton blades before but my current ones are great, and so cheap.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUseI'm not too sure, I've never used the DCS355, only the 356. From what I've read, the power is the same but the 356 is a little heavier. Most of the cuts I do are on speed 2, I only go speed 3 if it's into wood
Mate it’s a “Tool” to understand the power but to understand the blades ££££, believe it or not,just slow the speed down to slowest, let the blades cut , 😀😀happy days..
@@darrenhutchinson5435 Absolutly, its easy to push the blades too hard. You'll always know when you have as you'll smell the smoke 😄
@ if it smokes , then care not to
Blyme to save blades, slow the speed down , that all I’m trying to say ⚒️
The Velocity and Veto Pro pack bags really are on a different level for quality....but I'm going to be good and not spend that kind of money on a tool bag. As for the weird flap on the side, would a Wera To go bag Velcro onto it? Or if you want to keep your level in it, wrap it up in a bit of non slip router mat...I always keep a bit in my tool bags to help open things and stop workpieces sliding about .
@@davidhull2060 I agree, they have been a game changer for me. I've never liked storing tools vertically in all the other offerings from the main manufacturers due to the flopping about bit this is great. I've been very reluctant to spend the money on it, it I'm working a lot right now so need to offset some tax money somehow, so I'm trying to invest more in the business, as a bonus it will help the channel to.😄
That bag looks solid. Good selection of tools too.
@@tomarm8417 Thanks. Its easily the best I have ever owned. I'm pleased with the tool upgrades I've made recently too.
Get it on first, eh 😂
@@camerongarnham5095 Exactly 😅
Doesn’t even write with it lol
Tracer case only holds 6 vs. the Hultafors 10...
There is that. Although depending on the trade, I find you can get a lot of work done with even a single lead. What type of work are you using them for?
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse Agreed. The hole in the middle of the Hultafors spare holder (that you had issue with) is because it holds more pieces than the Tracer version. In other words, I didn't feel like that comment seemed "fair" because of the quantity difference. TBH, I don't ever carry the spares on me; I keep them in one of my Packouts. I also like the Hultafors case more because it seems to hold up better in shipment than the Pica. The Pica case doesn't seem to protect the lead as well; I always get 1-3 that are broken. The Ox, Tracer, and Thorvald just don't seem to write well [for me] on lumber. Personally, I love the Pica and Hultafors. They work extremely well for me.
I don't think it the name on the tool i think it where the tools come from using them with the person i have a crow bar that i use with my dad and machine tools when i work on the car with him he learnd me alot it the memories
@@tyler-reeceparr6336 Very good point. 👍
Well how does it write, I figured that would be in the review.
Moin, kannst du den langen Halter vorne abziehen? Sodass er kurz ist.?
Hi. No, its fixed in place on this model. It's a great screwdriver though, I'm very happy with it so far.
Thanks for the good review!
@@KodiakCO thank you, I hope it helped.
I’ve been waiting for this kind of content, awesome
@@DanielClark-y4n thank you, glad you liked it.
Ox is nice but I always lose the cap
Great video, i use the harris trade painting tools out of screwfix i find them good.
Team Pica here" 💪 💯
Who is the new style original carpenters pencil made by ???
Team Pica here" 💪💯
Definitely The Pica" 💪
I ordered 1 from amazon, I didn't see that it was not original Dolphin, it says delphine Zympty. I'm happy tho its not original, it is still durable but I feel like I was cheated on
@@PioloQuiboloy the differences are very minor from the comparisons I've made, it'll probably still be better than many of the other stanley offerings in shops.
Tracer works best
My dual blade center point knife smokes them all.
@@CoveBaseDolly which brand/model are you talking? The only duel blade I've seen is a stanley.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse th-cam.com/users/shorts0zR-vi6v1XQ?si=kwJZIzlHM8NIMiqr
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse it's on my page
Mine is a Godsend... Gave my Bosch to my son after quite heavy use and also have a cheapy 240V Sealey that is with me all the time but my 110V Fein is my favourite and I agree with all you say re. case. Bob (Albion Decoration) Weston super Mare)
@@bobx2387 Excellent tool. I just treated myself to a battery dewalt version a few weeks back as they are on sale in screwfix right now, its a brilliant bit of kit.
So I own the antivibe rip hammer. It is my favorite hammer. I'm a plumber so I don't need a hammer 24/7, but when I do need one, it is very satisfying to use. There ya go.
@@augustwest9727 Any hammer will fo the job, but these hammers do feel nice to use.
My dad had the one you said didn't look the prettiest it was his house hold hammer from before I was born I'm 18 and it 20 + years old used for smashing/demo on cars wood the lot just like your dad it was his one hammer miss him
@@tyler-reeceparr6336 sorry for your loss. I hope you had a chance to salvage the hammer and use it yourself. I've started to have a couple of my dad's tools in my main box so that I can think of him when I work. He's the reason I'm practical and can do the things I can do.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse I've got a estwing claw hammer as my job site hammer my dad's still doing housework as I'm afraid someone will take it and I wouldn't see it again my dad had a few ppl try and take it from him alway the new apprentice at work taking stuff
Only just found the channel but I like these tool box tours, for different trades! I have watched a few videos and I will be adding certain bits to different tool boxes/bags. Some simple tools and gadgets but I already know they are going to make my life easier! I can’t believe I have never thought about adding a ratcheting screwdriver with some bits to my painting/prep work bag! I genuinely can’t believe it 😂🤣😂 And a plastic/rubber bowl to mix up a little bit filler or whatever. And rounding one edge on a plastic scrapper so I can get to the corners of the bowl! Can’t believe I have not thought about these things before! So easy to get stuck in your own ways and not think about! I don’t usually watch these types of videos because it always feels like one big sales pitch but your vids are refreshing. Just a genuine gezzer sharing useful, transferable information 👍🏻
Thank you for your message mate. I like watching tool box tours from time to time, but all too many just seemed like people were showing off an unused and brand new collection. Glad I could help with the putty knife idea. Take care.
Hello, very good video, thorvald will have an official page that is not ebay or Amazon please.
@@hopkins6052 I can't find a site for them.
Surprised you didn't check whether it's actually square by drawing one line, flipping it around, drawing another line close to the first one, see if they are indeed parallel.
@@Lumbergh42 that's a good point actually. I've been reading about a lot of them these days being out. I'm currently in the market for a large plasterboard TSquare and many of the reviews I'm reading are terrible regarding the accuracy. It's a shame I missed it off this vid, but I'll check it out tomorrow and report back.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse Sounds good! Thank you for taking the time!
👌
Not much of a video
Nice collection. Are the fixed blade Delphin better than retractable for flooring?
Thanks. I would almost always opt for a fixed blade over a retractable. The blade is far more stable, and feels safer and stronger in use. What are you planning to use the knife for mostly?
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse. I need one to install some homogenous vinyl sheets. I’m a bit worried about getting the wall cuts tight though.
@@solb101 yeah for carpet or vinyl or anything that needs to be cut accurately I would definitely go for a fixed blade.
15:18 that space inside of the lead container looks like it holds another pencil
@@liquidrockaquatics3900 nope, tried it many times and different ways. Shame really.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse I thought maybe it was to hold the pencil so that you can carry the lead and the pencil both. That’s a shame. Missed opportunity there.
I have a ‘mechanical’ carpenter pencil that uses long rectangular graphite larger that what probably comes inside pencils. It is super cheap plastic and works great. It isn’t a fine point however. Great for non-accurate use
@@liquidrockaquatics3900 Sounds perfect for marking rough wood like the old style carpenters pencils 👍
I really rate Halfords Advanced tools, including thei tool storage drawers. Not cheap but top quality. I didn't see any Knipex tools in your kit here
I agree, they're great for the price, and have a good range. I've just had a scroll through the vid, and you are right, my appologies, I promise it wasn't clickbait. I use my knippex pliers and channelocks interchangeably between my tool boxes. They are currently residing in my plumbing tool box.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse Not a problem I enjoyed it anyway. I keep all of my Knipex tools in their tool roll. Good to go
@@jeremynorth thanks very much.
I use a Thor leather/coper hammer but it's smaller than yours. Perfect for bicycle maintenance
I can imagine it has good application for bike maintenance. I'd recommend the small nylon handle one if you decide you want something a bit more beefy.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind if that arises. They are so well made and inexpensive and come from the Midlands I believe
@@jeremynorth that's good to know. I'm glad we still have a few brands left.
My oldest Estwing is over 60 years old . It was my father's who was also a carpenter . Estwing are one of those tools , that look better with age . The patina is ace .
@@TheSavagederek that's a great testament to the quality. And I totally agree, the older they get, the better they look.

@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse Sounds good brotha, let me know!!
Very surprised about core drilling warnings. That's what I need to do. It says it has a clutch, and termed exactly as the larger drills. Have you ever had it lash back while core drilling? The 5.9kg is 59 quid right now
@@TheHateSpeechChannel I have used it loads of times for core drilling, but I position my hands in a way that if it does kick back then it comes out of my hands easily, and I don't grip too tightly either. It's never kicked back on me but I'm always cautious. ⚠️☝️I recommend that no one does this though. ⚠️
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse thanks! At 59 quid I think I'm gonna risk it. 😮
@@TheHateSpeechChannel it's a bargain for it's intended use of course 😄
The problem with that design is the handle. I have that exact model and the handle broke on the first year, not like the other estwing old style hammer
Very nice. Which model bag is that?
