Tim Tim Tim Tim Tim. I have that exact bronze hammer, and if you grab the large handle and twist it a large flat screwdriver will unscrew from the hammer
@@realdrravager i later learned the flat blade has a Phillips screw driver inside of it, as well as a smaller flat screwdriver inside the phillip, and an even smaller one inside that one.
amishgable I don't think it's hoarding when you neatly store everything away and it's not piling up anywhere. For example, I put away my NERF blasters that I collect. so they don't pile up and get in the way.
theboarman Well if you keep attacking me on a personal level, I'll just file a suit. That way you really learn never to do that again. www.rethinkwords.com/
Tim reminds me of one of my engineering professors who has many gadgets and collectables of his own including a little engine powered by heat from a cup of tea and a revolver sawn in half.
This gentleman is delightful to watch and listen to. Love to hear his fascination and enjoyment as he describes the various items in his vast collections. Delightful.
I've got the same set of nesting screwdrivers, except they go into a fourth, larger screwdriver, rather than a hammer. So much utility stored in what would have been otherwise wasted space!
I am a 75 year old automotive mechanic, I believe I started work at 4 years old taking things apart and such wondering why. There was no tool or gadget in you little presentation I had not seen or owned or knew what it was straight away, other than the chocolate piece. I don’t know why I watched the entire video But because we, you and I for 10 minutes or so were little boys and you were showing me your good treasure. Thank you. Gordon D. of Waxhaw, North Carolina, USA.
the "pin" socket at 4:30 is sold as a Gator Socket in US. handy to have in kitchen drawer or in socket set. Grabs odd size bolt you don't have socket for and also rounded off bolt heads .
My grandpa had one as well. He was an electrical engineer, I'd always assumed he got it at a trade show, perhaps in Germany or similar. Lovely little thing.
I have one, very similar, he didn't take out the larger screwdriver screwed into the base of the hammer. It's not a super useful hammer/screwdriver, but neat nonetheless.
Brass hammers are often used in gunsmithing or metalwork, when you need to hammer a delicate piece of metal without scratching/damaging it, a brass hammer, because it is softer, will do the job without any scratches.
"I use it constantly. [...] It's a little bit knackered now, because I have some.... use it as a punch unfortunately, knock someone a ...*motions punching to the handle* and off it does... It's not made for that" *I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS*
Parallel pliers are fanstastic for jewelry, as they're less likely to slip or scratch wire or other jewelry bits. I've been wanting to make myself a nonmarring/brass jaw set for a while. Those universal/pin socket tools unfortunately don't work very well, the idea seems sound but in reality they are easily damaged or gummed up with dirt and tend to slip when putting a lot of torque on a bolt. That brass hammer tool is awesome for a variety of reasons, but the typical use of a brass hammer is when one needs to avoid damaging a steel part. My university had a number of combination brass hammer/wrenches that were used to adjust the draw bars on the milling machines. The draw bar tends to bind up when the tool is tightened, so they were very helpful in freeing the tool without damaging the machine.
The zip bags video was my first experience on this channel, now I watch the videos daily. There's something oddly therapeutic about an old English gent sharing his collections with the world.
3:35 parallel pliers are working on electric motors with square wire. Not really useful for much else, but they are invaluable whenever working on form wound motors.
Alright, so I am going to create a donation site for Tim so we can get him his complete army knife. Once I am told this has 10 likes, I will make it and post a link!
I've been watching your videos for a while now, Tim, and one overwhelming question I have is: Where do you keep all these marvellous toys, gadgets and whimsies? You must need a lot of space for everything (I assume you personally keep samples of stuff that you sell as well?)
Brass hammer is also used for working with car gas tanks. Don’t want to create a spark and ignite the fuel. As someone else mentioned, when you don’t want to damage another item the brass is softer and will bend/dent easier.
+Alexander Shekhtman Thatb it is, been in my junk/tool drawer for years now. The hammer is perfect for hanging stuff, or popping in little nails in a cabinet and such. Nothing to heavy duty. The old lady loves it, she always threatens to paint it pink because i find myself using it so much for some reason.
I have a decent trick, I'm a 66 year old tired man with a little kid heart and mind that thinks of this man as if my own grandfather who I love so much! I think that's lots better than a chocolate tool, and chocolate is my favorite food color, even! My grandfather had a trick gold watch that created "Peaky Pie" for me each morning I woke up for breakfast when I was a very small boy, but then one day when I was lying there already awake I secretly learned by pretending that I was still asleep, then peeking through my eyelids that it was only the early morning's warm sun reflecting off his gold watch on his wrist he was mirroring for me on my bedroom wall so lovingly, and not only "magic" like he had wanted me to 'make believe' believe, while I still could. That was 1960 and I still remember my grandfather and his gold watch.
brass hammers are specifically designed with solid, soft, heavy heads for good driving force yet the striking face yields readily on contact to prevent or eliminate work damage.
The brass hammer is for striking tool steel chisels and punches. If you use a regular tool steel hammer on tool steel chisels/punches, you run the risk of shattering your tools.
i have a gator grip on my tool board in my garage. it's possibly the most handy item in my collection! very pleased to see you have one as well, even if you don't use it.

The brass hammer actually has one more screwdriver in it. It´s the biggest one, slot driver and it disconnects by the flat part of the handle.
It's always fun to listen to someone who is excited about the material they are presenting. Very engaging series. I Look forward to viewing them all!
I want to hear more about the vice Tim made and his engineering days.
What a bright gentleman! And the show is wonderful.

“Hey Tim can you look after my glass hammer, no questions asked?”
I had a brass hammer just like that! My grandpa gave it to me when I was little.

I have a confession: i use these videos to help with my insmonia
ASMR videos are also good at that.
Que hacés aquí vos Pablito?
Its c 137 not 137 c

the videos calm down totally. just starting to watch them against anxiety of all kind 😊
Brass hammers are often used in gunsmithing or metalwork, when you need to hammer a delicate piece of metal without scratching/damaging it, a brass hammer, because it is softer, will do the job without any scratches.
Or in environments where you can’t risk a spark
I really enjoy Tims attention to detail. Thank you for such wonderful content. :)
Tim is that cool substitute teacher that lets you stand by the door before the bell rings
Watching Tim gets rid of my anxiety. Thanks Tim!
8:23 imagine having that and needing scissors
"No this is for wires... and this is a screwdriver. Pinzette... can opener..."
6:55
he just collects things because he enjoys showing them to people. As Tim would say, how wonderful!
Tim is an engineer!? Man things are just getting more interesting by the minute!
His humor is quaint and makes me feel like there are still good people. love the videos. 🎩
YEEEEESSS!!!!! 10 minute video!!!
If I had a terminal illness my last wish would be to hang out with Tim and his toys for a afternoon.
It be so cool.
You and James May from the BBC need to do a video together.
Tim and David Attenborough should narrate a documentary together, i love both of their voices. Very soothing...
Yes
Lazy House Cat Tim and May sorting, cleaning, and explaining tools. Narrated by Attenborough. Could bring peace in the Middle-East!
That’s what I thought
Thanks Tim, I always feel better about the world after one of your nice vids.
It took Tim 5 tries until he finally insert the screwdriver inside the hole at 5:34
yes

Dangit_Bobby heh. Loser.
I can't stop watching these videos. I don't know why.
brass hammers are used when a spark could ignite something

You, sir, are an absolute delight to watch.
Tim is my spirit animal.
Some people could only dream to have a passion for something as strong as Tim has for his toys.
Anyone else getting AMSR vibes from his voice?
Yup. He helps me allot. I finally can fall asleep.
Not as much his voice, but whenever he brushes against his mic I do c:
ayy me 2
