Now I picture Adam turning up to do a talk somewhere, pulling out this tiny brief case and pulling his notes for the talk out of it! All while acting like its a full size case and acting like its completely normal to have such a tiny brief case!
My dentist used the coolest torque wrench ever just the other day, while seating a crown over an implanted post. I could hear the greatest ratchet noise while she used it, and yes, my tooth is now torqued down to proper spec.
1. You stole what I was going to say. 2. I thought the same thing. I had a dental implant... implanted last year and my dentist used the little Torque Wrench while I was numbed up and I thought it was really cool. My girlfriend thinks I am crazy for being excited by that. 3. I actually work for a dental company and spoke to one of our dentists about that experience. They told me that those little wrenches cost like $500 or so because of how specialized they are.
@@ReetinEntertainment I love automatic watches, so when I saw it on the tray, I immediately perked up and asked her all about it, and it's fine quality look.
@@ReetinEntertainment I had a dental implant to replace a broken tooth earlier this year as well. I'm a 40 year old man and I'm not ashamed to admit I literally asked my dentist if I could play with it for a few minutes like a kid getting a lollipop for going to the doctor! 😂😂
I went to a dentist in an impoverished part of NZ 30yrs ago & it felt like he was a blacksmith operating on an anvil in a rather run down Soviet bloc Railway factory... 😢🦷💥🤓🔧🛠
I really love miniature scale things that actually work. I know there are probably practical reasons they wouldn't all be usable the way they do at full scale with square-cube law, but it's very lovely to see them actually do the appropriate motions.
That's why I collect miniatures and work on miniatures. Right now in the midst of making a modern Midwestern town for a modular train set. And things like Gundam are great. Go for 1:6 scale its the most common as Adam mentioned
Now you have everything you’ll need to make a growth ray, after you have an accident while developing your shrink ray. I can’t wait for “Honey I shrunk a mythbuster.”
Those notebooks look like they're straight out of the TVA. Beautiful piece of history. I can picture them on the desk of an analyst wearing a white button-down short sleeve shirt, tie, and sporting perfectly combed brill cream hair.
This episode reminds me of Richard Feynman's talk called "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom"' where one uses tools to make miniature tools which are in-turn used to make even smaller tools and so on, until we're making cutting edge nano machines.
As a hobby sewist I love scissors, my large black Guttenhein one that can cut through anything, my pinking shears (big and little), my embroidery snips that look like a bird, but my prized and favorite one is the tiny one I got out of a Cracker Jack box when I was a child. It’s 1 1/8th inches long, 1/2” wide at the handles and 1/4” wide at the blade. And it cuts!
The smallest open end wrench I own is 1.6 mm. That and a 2.0. They were laser cut. Box end and open end. I had to order them to replace head gaskets on a 1/20 steam engine. There was no space to use a nut driver without taking apart the complete engine. I will say using tools that small is a fun challenge. But fingers are so big and the bolts are so small. My vision is not what it used to be either.
Wow, great stuff Adam. As if the micro-tools were not enough for me to geek out on, the Bell Lab books really hit home. My late Father worked for Bell from 1953 to 1988. Many a "Bell System" hand tool managed to find its way in my boyhood home, as well as Western Electric "stuff." He would take me to work now and again in the 1970's. Now, if I listen closely, I can still hear the infamous Bell Tel Crossbars clicking across the entire floor of the building. Brass bars with magnets attached, making connections old Gertrude did seated at her switchboard, not too many years prior. Hundreds of books and notepads not unlike the one you have and many other types lining the sea of desks and shelves of the stone building. Everything, proudly branded with that familiar Bell logo. You got me on this one my friend. This vid brought a tear to my aging eyes. Thank you kind Sir. Enjoy...
We used notebooks like that in a lab I used to work at. Every piece of data I recorded would go through that notebook. Most of it would end up in a spreadsheet somewhere for easier reference and calculations, but the canonical values were the ones handwritten in that book.
Every company that did patentable work used notebooks like that through the 1990s, I used them at Rockwell. Fun fact: Oscilloscope traces would be polaroid-photoed and then stapled in.
Enthusiasm is infectious and delightful to share. Adam is an enthusiastic person and this is what makes him a pleasure to watch regardless of the subject.
It must be like Christmas everyday in that workshop with gifts each day to open and be amazed at. It should be renamed from the Cave to Santa's workshop
Hi Adam, have you seen the work of Willard Wigan? The sculptor who works in the smallest level and uses his pulse as a jackhammer. He has put camels in the eye of a needle and a motorbike inside a human hair
I realized i started watching this video on a 55 inch screen so the tools looked larger than life, Ive now dumbed it down to my small chromebook screen so the tools actually look small now, anyway those are some IMPRESSIVE little tools
For a machine factory, this is like a tech demo. No need to impress your customers with some 1000 tonnes behemoth. Just pull this little think out of your pocket as a sample case for precision tooling.
Oh no Adam, you already made the tool set so popular its not even on the Amazon link anymore, only 2 hours later. I would love like 20 of those c-clamps though, not gonna lie
The CO Code '582' for the Warren Service Center, was the same as my home town in East Central Alberta, Canada - Forestburg. Of course the country and area codes probably differed but I thought that was pretty cool.
These are the tools you use to build the teeny tiny flintlock Royal Armouries just did a video on. :) (Or, more realistically, they're meant for the same purpose - to show just how precise the manufacturer can be.)
Those notepads had my mind spinning. I wonder what they were for. Very cool! Also the tiny tools would be amazing gifts for my brothers, but they don't ship to where I live :(
I would have fumbled the case when opening it and dropped every tool on the floor. Then after picking them all up, I would break each one as I play with it and see how they function.
When you started singing you sounded like “Skippy” from “Expeditionary force” audiobook lol Skippy is an “ancient super advanced talking beer can” (AI)
Adam! Can we get a 1-day build of taking those tiny tools to full size just to show how tiny those actually are. It's easy to see their tiny but what would that actually look like real life size
No joke, I actually need all of these tools but maybe two or three times the size. Specifically I need a caliper as thin and narrow as it can be, but regardless, fantastic video ❤
God I was in Japan last year I wish I would have known of this, this would have made great souvenirs for my machinist friends! LOL these look amazing by the way, thank you Adam!
@Adam the subreddit you're looking for is r/thingsforants and I'm sure the lovely folk there would be absolutely delighted if you made a post out of this video! :D
Such fun. I found the Castem Minature Tool set on Amazon and then found your link here. Such a beautiful kit. The notebooks are very special and I know you'll put them to good use. Hugh andd Merry Christmahanukwanzakamas and Festivus for the Restovus. 💙🌻🌲🌟🌲🌻💙

Unfortunately it says Currently Unavailable. Although that could be if they got a rush of orders after this video, ha ha.
Do the locks in the briefcase work?
The tools are dehydrated, you have to add oil to get them back to full size.
Ain't science wunnerful?
I like that joke ;)
Why do I get the feeling you follow This Old Tony? I could 100000% see that gag in a TOT video! 😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

"sorry, my vision isn't what it used to be"
*produces miniature magnifying glass*
I have a briefcase in a similar scale for business cards. Also with working clasps.
And pulling out a comically large magnifying glass to read the notes
Me when the family breaks out Monopoly for games at Christmas time... "I wanna be the machinist vise!!!!"
Dibs on calipers!!
😂
Haha
It's hard not to admire a man who loves good stationary
Please build anything using these tools.

My mind is blown. Those micro tools are beautiful! I can't believe the detail and that they actually work!!!!
2:48 I was waiting for you to say "Operation," and even when you picked up a pair of tweezers to move the tools, I was like "THE JOKE'S RIGHT THERE!😂"
I really love miniature scale things that actually work. I know there are probably practical reasons they wouldn't all be usable the way they do at full scale with square-cube law, but it's very lovely to see them actually do the appropriate motions.
1:10 "I love nothing more than a little briefcase!" 😆😆 this is why we love you, Adam
Love miniatures. If everything i owned was miniature, i could collect exceptionally more crap in my 895 square foot space.
That's why I collect miniatures and work on miniatures. Right now in the midst of making a modern Midwestern town for a modular train set. And things like Gundam are great. Go for 1:6 scale its the most common as Adam mentioned

1:22 that brief case would become my new wallet or business card holder within seconds that thing is sweet.

Those would look really awesome in a mini cave diorama!

Oh well, now you have to build a miniature replica of your workbench area!

-4:40 When he said this, I was not looking at the screen and snapped my head around so fast, I nearly fell off my chair! 😮😂
Speechless Adam is a most joyous Adam.
I love seeing Adam geek out over little things like this. Literally!
Adam playing 'operation' with these Micro Tools. Love them!! ❤

What a wonderful Monday morning treat - I'm glad it landed!
Adam going into convulsions of joy at the sight of old blank graph paper most people would have thrown out. Things you only see here.
When someone calls Adam a "nerd," you know he takes it as a compliment.
I've been looking all over for boxes to wrap my small Christmas gifts (most of which are 3D printed) and IT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME TO PRINT BOXES.
Oh yeah, that reminds me... have you tried printing boxes? 😂
I was not expecting to hear “Little vice” being sung like Edelweiss 😂
Enthusiasm is infectious and delightful to share. Adam is an enthusiastic person and this is what makes him a pleasure to watch regardless of the subject.
See, these are the pliers I'd need for the fifth edition of The World's Tiniest Chainmaille Dice Pouch.
What a lovely set. If there's one thing I love more than miniatures, is functional miniatures ❤
These are excellent to give to that one person who always asks to borrow your tools.
It must be like Christmas everyday in that workshop with gifts each day to open and be amazed at. It should be renamed from the Cave to Santa's workshop
Hi Adam, have you seen the work of Willard Wigan? The sculptor who works in the smallest level and uses his pulse as a jackhammer. He has put camels in the eye of a needle and a motorbike inside a human hair
2:00 It's all fake, Adam just made himself bigger and is manipulating real size tools
Sounds plausible :)
Thanks for 18 subscribe you tube family ❤🎉
I realized i started watching this video on a 55 inch screen so the tools looked larger than life, Ive now dumbed it down to my small chromebook screen so the tools actually look small now, anyway those are some IMPRESSIVE little tools
These would be great for anything tiny! RC, watches, mini mech etc
It reminds me of Oscar Goldman's exploding briefcase. Watching Adam showing the tools reminded me of Land of the Giants.
Lol, love the "Little vice, edelweiss" reference
For a machine factory, this is like a tech demo. No need to impress your customers with some 1000 tonnes behemoth.
Just pull this little think out of your pocket as a sample case for precision tooling.
i couldn't help but think all of the 1/6 scale inaction figures at tested would be right at home with those awesome little tools! 😋
Oh no Adam, you already made the tool set so popular its not even on the Amazon link anymore, only 2 hours later. I would love like 20 of those c-clamps though, not gonna lie
I think my favorite is the micromicrometer.
The CO Code '582' for the Warren Service Center, was the same as my home town in East Central Alberta, Canada - Forestburg. Of course the country and area codes probably differed but I thought that was pretty cool.
Japan does miniatures like NOBODY else!♥️👍
Having to use tweezers to pick up a pair of incredibly tiny needlenose pliers was so ridiculously amusing to me for some reason.
what’s the smallest drill bit we are allowed to own?
Loved the Donnie Darko reference hidden in there :D
Damn. The Borrowers have started their industrial revolution.
Ant Man now knows where the airline sent his toolbox! But for real , the crafting that produced such detail is highly commendable! 😎👍
The little vise almost looks like a fender style guitar bridge saddle!
Adam is always introducing us to things that i didnt think were possible at a scale suited only for the ones who are not visually impaired.
In a warehouse somewhere there are thousands of those bell laboratory books of peoples inventions and work

Happy Holidays =)
I can't be the only one who was a little bit anxious Adam was going to cut himself with the tiny box cutter 😅
Maybe you can use these tools to finish that bank vault door!
I love the テステド（tested）shirt.
Is that what that means? Thank you if that is.

@@Yossarian921 Yes, it's here: tested-store.com/products/tested-in-japanese-classic-tee
You somehow got a set of tools meant for the Borrowers/the Littles!
OMGEEE the Donnie Darko deep cut
If these do work. There needs to a micro one day build with them
I see a Adam Savage, in his cave, diorama in the near future lol
Imagine coming to work and pulling that out for a legitimate project.
No joke, I actually need all of these tools but maybe two or three times the size. Specifically I need a caliper as thin and narrow as it can be, but regardless, fantastic video ❤
Now I know what Adam was like as a kid on Christmas morning 🎄
Yup! Pretty much!
Im very jelly of your micro tools. So cool 😎
God I was in Japan last year I wish I would have known of this, this would have made great souvenirs for my machinist friends! LOL these look amazing by the way, thank you Adam!
Yes, max headroom please!
I could honestly use those needle nose for jewelry work😂
I don't know if there's a market for it, but I feel like Savage Labs reproduction notebooks could be a thing.
YOUR BEST VIDEO YET!!!
@Adam the subreddit you're looking for is r/thingsforants and I'm sure the lovely folk there would be absolutely delighted if you made a post out of this video! :D
remarkable ⚡
They look like props from "Downsized," that film where Matt Damon got itty-bitty. 😸
The subreddit is r/thingsforants
My goodness. This reminds me of Policeman MacCruiskeen's tools from The Third Policeman
Brilliant video .
AHHHHH 😱😱😱😱😱 I HAVE TO HAVE THEM!…….2 minutes into the video and I already ordered a set.
Here's my HUGE teeny tiny thumbs up! AWESOME VIDEO!
Thank you!
Such fun. I found the Castem Minature Tool set on Amazon and then found your link here. Such a beautiful kit. The notebooks are very special and I know you'll put them to good use. Hugh andd Merry Christmahanukwanzakamas and Festivus for the Restovus.

I see keyholes in the briefcase I wonder if there were some keys inside and those locks work.
I can't wait to open my gifts, u make me so excited
Well... now you have to make a craftsman toolbox to put them in
A tiny set of channel locks to go with his gigantic channel locks😅.
I love the micrometer
3:30 talk about a paper cut
set it next to bank vault door as a workmen was there
To Adam, Mrs. Don't Try This, Thing one and Thing two, and everyone at Tested have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and prosperous New Year
What is this... a tool box for Ants!
Micro tools for Micro Machines (although a bit gigantic vs MM scale)
Very nice video
