- “The ABC of Hand Tools” (1945) is a Walt Disney Co. produced training and educational film for General Motors (GM) about proper use of hand tools. The film, which is in Technicolor, is fully animated and opens with a caveman character “Primitive Pete” seen inventing the first hand tool: an early model hammer made from stone with a stick handle. The film then goes on to elegantly show different types of basic hand tools such as the hammer, screwdriver, wrench, and pliers and show their proper uses, design elements and proper care.
Opening credits and title page, General Motors (GM) logo (0:07). Animation of various hand tools on blue background: wrench, hammer, saw, screwdriver (0:28). Various human innovations built using hand tools stretch out from globe: Golden Gate Bridge, radio towers, train (0:35). Stone Age: cartoon character caveman “Primitive Pete” uses earliest form of hand tool, stone tied to stick “Stone Age hammer” (0:58 - 2:12). Various modern day hand tools derived from Primitive Pete’s invention and shots of Primitive Pete misusing these tools: Ball-Peen Hammer design and proper uses of peen vs. face (2:24). Brass or copper hammer, raw-hide face hammer, plastic tip hammer, claw hammer (3:38).

Ordinary screwdriver: Primitive Pete struggles to open window using screwdriver, however, he fails and only ends up ruining the tool (5:35). More information on the screwdriver which is made up of three principal parts: handle, shank, blade (6:00). Various size screws screwed into wood plank, demo on how to find proper blade for screw head size; Consequences of not choosing proper blade (6:44). Repairing blade head on shank if damaged; Front and side view of properly ground screw driver (7:37). Special heavy duty model screwdriver with extra large square shank; Primitive Pete damages screw driver by using wrench (8:19). Pliers: combination pliers, diagonal cutting pliers, long round-nose pliers, side-cutting pliers (8:50). Details of side cutting pliers design and uses: detailed how-to steps for using these pliers to make an electrical connection (9:09).

I watched this very cartoon on one of the first days of industrial arts shop in junior high. It provided very practical knowledge regarding hand tools that I remember to this day. I wish that type of education was still available within all public schools.
There is tech education class I took in 10th grade, but yeah, handiwork is treated as an elective and the trades don't get as much respect as they should. Knowing how to use these tools and what people can do is SO useful and important, I'd argue it's one of the 3 jobs that will NEVER go away, along with IT and transportation. If people don't like computers but want something solid, the trades is HIGHLY recommended. I have friends who are plumbers and general contractors and they make very good money for their jobs...and deserve it.
No kidding, I have seen many injuries due to tool misuse
To tell you the truth this is almost verbatim to a US Naval course I took in the early 80's , it was called basic tools and their uses.
Me too. Exactly the same.
It would be that the holes in a socket wrench oppress disabled trans lesbian black females.
I would get Disney plus if it had content like this
Caution! Never loan tools to Pete, every shop has at least one, who never has his own tools.
...I'd rather loan my dog than my tools, ... my dog can make his own way back home!
😂
Because he destroyed his own tools.
Awsome advice mang
Perfect Pete never seems to have his 14mm socket... or mine.
Honestly, youll learn more from old videos about tools, than modern one. Not to mention the narration has that charm to it.
100%
Agreed, you get that sort, of more fundamental and basic knowledge that is essential for good and efficient craftsmanship, and better a understanding of the brilliance of our ancestors ingenuity, and how wellthought these "simple" tools are constructed.
Its because now days them just try to sell stuff to one . This video is about learning .
This was more useful than just about anything I learned in school
That’s cuz they didn’t try to sell ya stuff back then. They simply wanted you to know how not to screw up your company’s tools lol
Another thing to learn is to use all the teeth of a saw, never stopping midway. It reduces dulling and keeps the whole thing efficient for longer.
Also a bit less wasted effort overall; you'll use less energy that way than you would switching back and forth early all the time.
Yessirree, and relax and let the tool do the job.
И хорошо накачивает мышцы правой руки!🛠🔧🪚💪
This is what Disney was always meant to be, pure, informative, and educational. The good ol' days.😊
Ya the great ole days!!!! GREAT
This film sparked my love for hand tools when I was 11 years old in 1964. Thank you for sharing it after all these years.
In 7th and 8th grade junior high shop classes 1962-65, we were only allowed to use hand tools. Battery powered tools did not exist before the Moon landings, that's what they were invented for. Portable electric tools like drills all had cords.
I honestly learned more from this 80 year old video than from 2 decades of TH-cam.
TH-cam hasn't been around for 2 decades
@@jasonmutschall6154 19 years (since 2005). I think you can spot him a year.
I love how you're insinuating that TH-cam is a legitimate place to learn things. To be fair it is better than TikTok though I guess. 😁
Brother there are seven million science/technology/history/craft/trade oriented channels here. Just because your taste is shite or you're too lazy to look for it, it doesn't mean there aren't plenty of informative things to watch.
Fcking zoomers man, I swear.
It's been around since 2005. That's almost 20 years @@jasonmutschall6154
I can now confirm I am stupid...I have been working with tools every day for 50 years+, and never knew some of this...never to old/late to learn...
Most tools dont' come with manuals, just raw experience. I can assure you half of these tools I've used interchangeably before and now that I'm older and smarter, I realize why you need different kinds of pliers or screwdrivers for different jobs. SOO many stripped screws and chewed metal. The show isn't wrong about that... and materials are only getting more expensive so you REALLY don't want to mess up that nice lumber or metal. XD Amen!
Not stupid! Just ignorant like many of us.
The one that really got me was the idea of smashing wire sheathes with the back side of a pair of pliers. I never would have guessed what purpose that surface served.
Don’t be like me and Primitive Pete lol
Same here…if had only known sooner. Heck, I thought I had invented a new use for flathead screwdrivers by hammering them, like a chisel. Well to be fair, all of my tools were acquired one by one over the years, second hand, without the manuals. 😂
My jaw dropped at the angle cutter pilers removing cotter pins. Never knew they could do that. Perfect for my castle nut on my motorcycle. Awesome video.
I was surprised too when I learned the same thing in auto shop thirty years ago.😆😆
Carpenter for 13 years and a welder for 21 years. I’m proud of the things I helped Build
I wish Disney kept this element in particular to this day lol
"On this episode of the Owl House, Luz shows you how to properly apply carbon fiber stucco lath"
Or Hannah Montana avoids an industrial accident with her lathe?
@@BroonParkerhah, well there's a great video out there to make people fear(respect) the lathe. (Search "Russian lathe accident" )
I like the pace of the movie.
TH-camrs today seem to think that the faster they talk the better.
As a Swede, I have seen many old instructional movies in both Swedish and English.
It may sound strange but it is both relaxing and educational and the quality of the animations is really good regardless of country.
I have a lot of Disney WWII training films. I have been looking for this one for quite some time. I first saw it in a shop class I was taking in the 70’s. I then joined the Air Force in 1981, and this was the “film” (Yes, old school reel, projector, and such) they showed at the beginning of Tech School for Crew Chiefs. Thanks for sharing! I love this one. ❤❤
Dude, you gotta upload them onto your channel, I would watch them all!
While this is 8 decades old, I bet a lot of the content is still relevant today and into the future
It is. I thought the primary use for needle-nose pliers was to fish things out of tight spaces. Boy, was I in for a surprise.
@@frikyouall It's hard to tell from the cartoon, but those aren't even needle-nosed pliers. The tips on those things are both completely round, like chopsticks with a handle. I have a pair of them - they can't be used to pick things up like needle-nosed pliers can without considerable effort. I spent years wondering what the heck they were for. I never would have guessed they were for curling wires.
Absolutely.. the misuse of hammers and adjustable wrenches is sadly a behavior I witness daily by other "Tradesmen". I do my absolute best to make sure I use the right tool. If that means stopping work to find the correct wrench I'll do it... It saves me from more work in the long run... i.e. repairing or replacing rounded off fasteners.
These types of videos should be shown in elementary schools.
Всё нормально, скоро ваши мальчикодевочки и девочкомальчики вымрут и осваивать инструменты станет просто некому.
Dad was an aircraft mechanic so I was fortunate enough to learn about a lot of these concepts early on. He hated adjustable wrenches though. The one I missed was the slight "belling" of the straight bladed screwdriver. That helps prevent the blade from camming out of the slot. If you damage a flat blade screwdriver, I've found that they work better by hollow grinding the blade, by using the face of the bench grinder instead of the side. The blade goes in deeper and more vertically.
Since this was from 1945, most screws were slotted. The Phillips screws had been introduced in the '30's, so weren't as widely used yet.🎉
They need to start showing these again in schools
I am considering it.
I really question if y'all know much about today's schools & youth
@@Heyu7her3 - Who is "y'all"?
i agree
Easter egg: Primitive Pete is a caricature of Disney animator Ward Kimball, one of the legendary "Nine Old Men."
Kimball probably drew this.
He was also re-used in many of the Goofy "How To" films. "How to Drive" is one that pops to mind.
Funny.
If this was made today by Disney, primitive Pete would be a chick and she would be gay
His silhouette looks like Donald Trump.
The best educational cartoon 👍🏻
I first saw this in the mid 70's and I stand by the comment I made then. "He already had a hand tool. What he did was add more leverage." That earned me a detention!
Well, you were right. Were you saying that with a bad attitude? 😁
@@nicholasittzes7224 Nope! Just pointing out the difference. The teacher in question had a firm belief that nothing could ever be improved in textbooks or lecture materials.
😂 @@Damoinion 😂😂😂😂😂
@@DamoinionWell, it was in a book. It *must* be right!! 😂
LOL I was thinking pretty much the same thing as I was watching this. And yeah, I was a smart-ass in school too.
They didn’t say hooking two wrenches together was bad so I’ll keep doing that!
There's another safety video called "shake hands with danger"
What a great film for a tool enthusiast.Thanks periscope for saving this gem which made sense right after ww2..
As a VERY long time carpenter, I never knew until now that my hammers have eyes!
I don't have many modern electrical tools but I thank goodness that my dad left me all his hand tools. It's quite an amount. Thanks Dad!
Electrical tools are convienent, but yeah, even to this day, ALWAYS have regular hand tools just in case. NOTHING worse than needing a drill only for the battery pack to die and you can't finish a job. XD That's what I do. Plus if you learn how to do everything by hand, you'll know exactly what a power tool's power is really necessary for and thus be less likely to "strip screws" or "damage dry wall" or "split wood" because you used a full power drill on an ornate table. (again, personal experience.)
For the finest crafted work, hand tools are often best to use, & the use of hand tools allow for more precise control of a process (drilling, cutting, shaping, etc.). My "go to" tools for fine metal work are hand files (flat, triangular, round files).
Same for me. My dad collected lots of tools - but never without a purpose. I think thanks to him I have just about all the tools in this video and then some.
They used PROTO Tools as the patterns for drawing as the ratchets design is unmistakable PROTO at that time was made on Santa Fe avenue in LA so it would make since they gave them a catalog or some thing to go by as they were close together back then so to speak
You know, I was thinking when they showed the ratchet that I looked just like my old vintage proto.
Agreed. Looks just like my heirloom proto stuff. Now if I can just find a 1 inch drive socket set for under $1K...
This Video Should be Required Viewing for todays Students!
Why? In shop these days we’re taught hands-on by professionals, not with childish cartoons for soft boomers.
@@StressingBabies I'm a boomer myself. I'm adept at using many tools, some ancient and some modern, a few of them even self-made and used for very specific tasks. Every generation learns about tools from the previous generations' latest efforts at creating new ones. Calling a stranger soft or boomer with implied insult is bound to leave chips in the face of your latest hammer that you will later regret. Be kind in your opinions and people will be much more likely to listen to what you have to say going forward. And before you say "okay grandpa," remember that it was someone like me that taught your professional shop teacher to swing a hammer and hit the nail with confidence.
@@mikeyb7263 mhmm. So it’s okay for you to be ageist but a younger generation can’t make observations about how education has changed, got it.
@@StressingBabies Pointing out that I'm older than you is not being ageist. The way you framed your original reply to mikeks8181 was. Neither of us know him and he chose make a comment that implied a negative judgement and I won't defend that choice. I was simply pointing out that leading with an insult is not a good way to learn anything.
@@StressingBabies if the information is still good, then I don't see why it shouldn't be shown. It might engage younger viewers that would otherwise not be attentive. And whose to say they weren't also given hands-on demonstrations alongside the informational stuff?
Lots of these older animated films were intended for a general audience, or even just adults. You wouldn't say the WW2 cartoons were intended for children, would you? They served to both entertain servicemen, and also provide useful information in a format that the general audience could readily handle.
Also, the very first boomers would be born in 1945. They might've seen it decades later, but it was likely intended for the Greatest Generation or the Silent Generation.
1945, eh? Turns out the old men are still taking us to school from beyond the grave. This was very educational, thank you.
The problem with society today is the complete lack of knowledge and respect for tools. No more shop classes taught in schools. So sad and unfortunate. My tools have fed my family for 30 years and are my most prized possessions.
Where are you that has no shop classes? We have special classes where the class builds a small house and all that goes with it.
If that were the only problem we would be fine.
@@cathysmith997 I don't know where you are, but if your high local school still has shop classes, you're in the minority. There has been a huge nationwide trend to stop teaching industrial arts. The high school I went to (small town in Maine) no longer has shop classes.
I get the feeling that more than half of gen z have reverted back to the pre-Primitive Pete era when it comes to basic mechanical knowledge and hand tool capability.
i just loved this. takes me back. This is the real way to learn, kids & adults. We need more like this. Thanks Walt, Thanks GM!
Learning is not about passive consumption. There needs to be practice & synthesis, too.
I remember this in shop class. While we were watching the movie he was in his little office smoking that funny cigarette lol.
I saw this when I was in middle school (1980's). It was in wood shop class where we students need to learn how to use hand tools. I didn't expect to see this on TH-cam, which was my second time seeing this. Considering that this was made in the 1940's, it outta be shown to today's shop class students.
Holy crap. I saw this in the 90s in shop class. They had it on a vhs tape, then they showed us shake hands with danger. This was before the demonstration of "how many fingers you can loose on equiptment thats still spinning down" 6 fingers on a bandsaw. We were one of the last to get a actual shop class. 2 years later they took all the equiptment out- broke my heart - and they were replaced with these 2 person kiosks that we sat at and did multiple choice questions. But home eeexchhhh we still had to sew and make a stuffed animal. Man you shoulda seen that shop though in its glory. We had everything. Lathes, full sand casting with a forge, milling machines, we even had a damn dark room with a rotating door. All of it gone. For kiosks......
@@patrickisswayze3446 You saw it on VHS while I saw it on 16mm film.
@@ThisGuyFrritz yep. It was on one of those 25" zeniths on a cart. They probably converted it over at the high school AV lab.
@@patrickisswayze3446 Talk about conversions, there's a video that shows why people should avoid Legacybox (done by VWestlife). You wouldn't get good results. I suppose the AV lab ain't Legacybox. 😁
Priceless and useful. I would love to see this shown to today's generation being that some of them I have met don't know which end of the screwdriver to hold.
You haven’t met anyone who didn’t know how to hold a screwdriver; and shop classes these days are taught by professionals, not by cartoons. Boomers really needed this stuff spoon-fed to them.
@@StressingBabies Not referring to current industrial arts students. They are well trained and knowledgeable. I am talking about the ones who watch a few videos and think they are the best. The cartoons are there to make us stay interested. This was done after WW2. Everything was taught in a very serious manner. Too serious that it turned off some very bright students.
And if they damage that screwdriver, they don't care. Just buy another one.... Made in China from pot-metal junk for $3.
@@richardgoebel226but holding the wrong end of a screwdriver? That's much worse than Primitive Pete himself! A tad exaggerated perhaps?
I love Walt Disney!! I miss this kind of good television.
Believe GM had Walt Disney productions do this film since all other animating studios were probably busy at the time producing WWII films along with getting back to peace time. GM mainly had Jam Handy, along with their own Photographic Library produce various advertising films for them.
I've certainly had my "Primitive Pete" moments...lol...hope everyone has a great day or night!
It's remarkable that the ratcheting wrench, which has proliferated to near complete dominance, was only a footnote at the time. I've used standard wrenches hundreds of times and I had no idea about that reversal trick to grab a bite on a nut that's hard to reach!
Given the nature of machining and evolution, you can kind of guess why some tools are more modern than others. now a days you can get a socket wrench for only a bit more than a regular, even one you can swap the heads for, but back then I can imagine they'd be a lot more expensive due to more parts needed. I love learning the history of the evolution of technology. Not so much the "Stone age man put a rock on a branch and called it a hammer" bullsh8t, but like "This farmer just cut some spokes on a wheel and saw it spinning and used the power to generate electricity, then over time we scaled that invention to the modern gears we have today." far more realistic.
Looking at the sponsor GM, they wouldn't even use manual hand tools in their factories. It's all computerized torque wrenches for efficiency, quality control and worker ergonomics. They log the tightening torque and rotations of every bolt on a car. When there was a recall recently when some wrong seat belt bolts got mixed up, they looked in their database and came up with a list of the exact 470 cars that had to be recalled and exactly which positions had the issue.
@@straightpipedieselthe video is to try to make General Motors look folksy after all.
But Poor Pete didn't have any eye protection and soon was blind from rock shards
And his jacket wasn't hi-vis for the red-green colorblind either!
His bare feet did not have ANSII approved steel toes!
Are you some kind of OSHA stooge?
That was one-eyed Pete's second invention.
I’ve always been a “tool guy”. I have many tools from my grandfather and father which are great even if primitive.
I’d note that I specifically buy some tools to specifically use incorrectly (aka “beaters”) but yes, most of my tools are used correctly for their specific designed function.
Its surprising to me how many people really don’t know how to use or get the most out of their tools.
How grade school should start . For everyone .
I remember seeing this as a 16 mm film when I was in 9th grade electric shop. I think I'll have to show it to my physics classes now, very practical for when I teach torque! Sadly, a ot of my future engineering students don't know how to use hand tools.
I wish all cotter pins came out easy like that.
For real. The last two I had to take out ended up as drill dust.
....and remember, kids, if things go wrong with hand tools, you can't click "edit, undo". You'll have to deal with the consequences and learn from your mistake.
I would suggest that you only really learn how to use these tools by making mistakes and working with others. This kind of video only goes so far until you have a real world context.
Thank god that the Phillips drive was invented since this
Phillips tips were designed to "cam-out" to avoid splitting and damaging furniture being built in factories.
@@peterdarr383 another fastener fan. I use to sell cold-headed hardware in different life, and it was fascinating learning how different steels are applied along with heat treatments and finishes. But, drives and their best use is something I deal with now in my current life.
To bad they didn't adopt the Robertson...
@@joel_rigby now you're talking! It's more widely used in Canada, right?
@@antony716 yep. Pretty much our national fastner. Such a great system
I'd recommend Pozidrive for a better Phillips if you feel you must use Phillips.
I have not seen this in 50 years in shop class
👍Excellent. Thanks for posting. Years ago I was primitive Pete. Learned most of this stuff the hard way.
5:50 the window was still locked, so.
Tool ruined, window gouged, wife pist, and the lock still locked.
I genuinely did not know you could grind a flathead screwdriver that way to make it stay in the slot better. This is actually great info for kids or people not familiar with tools.
Not sure you could get away with that, with modern "made in China" tools though!
I could have benefited greatly from this video in my youth. It took me years to learn half of it and its still useful.
I’ve always liked these early WD toons; they were both instructional AND entertaining!
I thought the photo of the earth against a blue sky background instead of space like we're used to was an odd stylistic choice, but then I remember that the first photo of earth from space wasn't taken until 1946, and the first full earth photo wasn't until 1972. When this film was made people probably had no mental image of what earth would look like from this perspective/distance.
💯💯💯
I hope I can get my grandsons to watch. I watched a lot of educational Disney films in school, mostly the Jiminy Cricket series. Peter and the Wolf was always shown to teach instrumental sound and musical themes. This is such a well done educational film.
This is good. I surprised myself by watching the whole thing.
I actually learned something more about tools 😮
There is some useful information here.
A very informative and interesting video lecture with a bit of humor. Information not only about the correct use of the tool, but also about its maintenance and even the possibility of restoration, which is completely unusual for a modern consumer society. There were quite a lot of old hand tools left from my grandfather, and at the same time I didn’t even know about some of their functions. The sophistication of these hand tools is amazing, but I've never seen paper instructions on how to use them, so videos like this are very helpful. In principle, such old videos have always carried a lot of educational content in any country, in contrast to modern strictly entertaining content.
Folks, I have seen and used all these tools presented in the short film. I have used all these tools the wrong way. Just by carefully watching and paying close attention to the narrator's demonstrations, I have learned the correct way to master these hand tools. Thanks, to this old fashioned way of learning.
I think that I preferably learned something from this educational cartoon presentation, always use the right tools for the job and never damage a good quality tool.
The charm of classic Disney.
I was hatched the year after this film was made. I wish I had seen it sometime during my youth. I admit to misusing tools (ala Primitive Pete) because knowledge is power, so lack of knowledge is weakness.
i play[ed] this for my lil Grandsons...i wish for them to know the physics behind tools. this is a great vid~ and a testament to the era of instructional film. Classic, like you :)
These wee cartoons are amazing for taking me away from daily life.
They should play this to every classroom in America at the 8th grade level and up.
According to Adam Savage, every tool’s a hammer.
Today, Primitive Pete would be Perfect Pam. All tools would be used exactly right, if not better.
Flipping the wrench over to get a better angle is a great tip! I never knew that.
Looks like even cavemen needed a Disney tutorial on tool care!
Just learnt more about tools in 20 mins than the rest of my life (33); and I took Design and Technology (UK)!
I love old cartoons like this one...specially those that has that "Bouncing ball " sing a-long
I use handtools all the time at work and at home and I have to say this cartoon actually taught me several things I never previously knew about with handtools! Great educational cartoon!
This must be teaching in all the schools of the world 😢, greetings from Mexico!
Tool training 101. I was here.
I miss Old Disney.
Fabulous... Just as relevant today..
This needs to be shown to every kid in middle school.
Interesting and probably useful cartoon even today...
This is how primitive Pete tightens his hammer, hey! Me too.
Do you have one of these beauties in your home? Yes, probably a few 😂.
شكراا لكل من ساهم في هاذا الفيديو التعليمي ..من الجميل ان تستخدم ادوات لم تكن تعرف كيف تستخدم ❤❤
Amazing! 78 years old and I learned a lot from this. I know I've been a Privative Pete with wrenches a few times! The proper way to strip wire with side-cutting pliers... *mind blown* lol I hate to think how many times I've done that the hard way.
I'm such a fan of these sorts of videos.
Very educational. A true gem!
6:36- At least he's holding the hammer at the right end and hitting the screwdriver with it's face.
I need to make my Primitive Pete housemate watch this!
Sadly, Disney isn't what it used to be!
Beautiful cartoon. I learned a lot from this! Brilliantly made! Thank you
Loved this video.
Especially all the ways not to use a hammer.
Still very useful information. (Even now, I didn't know several of the intended extra uses (like the crushing of wire housing before stripping the wire)
Also props to Disney for those awesome 3D movement illustrations of the socket handles
I like that he keeps emphasizing the existence of "modern day primitive Pete" 😂
I've been a Primitive Pete this whole time!
It was cool to watch primitive pete cartoon!
Why dont we ever make interesting informational videos like these anymore?
Remember the first rule of tools - “Everything works if you force it!”
I misread the thumbnail and thought it said “The ABCs of nano tools”. I was mistaken, this type of film had disappeared by the time I was in junior high in the late 70s. This is a video that was clearly created for World War II. Demonstrates the power of our entertainment apparatus used for education. In around 20 minutes you learn what would take a week or two at least of classroom learning. In my view, this is what the US Department of Education should be using its budget for.
Muy bueno !!!!!! Cuando las caricaturas enseñaban, y no se la pasan gritando como ahora 😅😅😅😅 !!!!!
……… Why the hell can’t they make more of these? This is brilliant!
That little tip of grinding the faces of flat-head screwdriver's head with a slight concave so it doesn't work itself out of the slot... hum-hum-hum... now that is crafty. Mmm-hmm.
Thank you!!
Two great American Icons, Disney and General Motors.
I watched this in 1960s high school shop class.
I remember watching this in grade school back in the 60's on an old film projector. Whenever the teacher asked us what movie we wanted to watch, all the boys would say "Primitive Peat!!"
Очень хороший обучающий фильм!!!
I actually learned something new from this.
I've been using tools as long as i can remember and i learned a couple things from this video. For example what round nose plyers are used for. Amazing
I didn't think I'd learn something, but I did. Even if you are familiar with tools, this may be worth a watch, try it at 2x speed which is only 9 min.
Good tip.
That was wonderful! Thank you!
