    My dear British friend, I don't think you know how or what you can do with a "Zollstock" other than measure? That you can use this measuring instrument to mark measurements without getting splinters in your fingers when you run your hand along rough edges, because you can even use the "Zollstock" as a stop with a measuring distance. The "Zollstock" - at least some people have one - can indicate angles; there is an angle scale printed between the joints. And as kitchen and BBQ tongs they are unbeatable and you can even use them to remove the crown cap from a bottle of beer (leverage with a longer arm = physics).

    So at 6:39 in the video you have a large T key in your hand that is made for door locks. When you install a door lock but not have a cylinder in yet or door handle to open it, this tool with the pointy end can open de door, a bit further down you see a notch that work as a cylinder to lock the door. At the top you can use these square bits also for the door handle if the square pin is in place but no handle attached yet.

    Over here in the US we call them a "carpenter's folding rule" and they used to be VERY common...
    I do like the safety box cutter, though I will say that the older metal ones are a LOT thinner and but I do like the safety of the thick plastic one... Though the old metal ones we used YEARS ago seemed a LOT more secure than the new one you showed...
    The screw drivers with the cartridges, I have seen a LONG time ago over here(though I have no idea what brand they were sold under.
    The take apart tool chest/drawers is a great idea!
    The little black power screwdriver kit is a great bit of kit that is sold under multiple brand names, and it is a very low price alternative to a VERY expensive one that is variable speed and direction one that you control by just turning your hand in the direction you want to turn it... But the little cheap one you passed up has been a great little one, and YES you did make a mistake by not grabbing one.

    From USA, love unusual tools, which is why I watch. When I was young tools in the USA were high quality and inexpensive. There are still quality tools, but most are expensive . As old man I have new category I call "old man tools" . These are tools that make it easier on my limited stamina and declining strength. My 1st tool in this category is my Dewalt battery powered caulk gun. I was finding it difficult to pump out a whole caulk cartridge. The Dewalt makes it possible to apply multiple caulk cartridges without my hand hurting. A side benefit is smother dispensing . Another is my Dewalt pruning shears which I use on my roses and other plants. More recently I got a Dewalt copper pipe cutting attachment for my Dewalt impact driver. I recently used it on a project to make many cuts, each of which was perfect and fast. I was so happy with it I got the Dewalt PVC cutter attachment. One of the problems with these tools is that to keep price down I buy them bare. I already have a fleet of Dewalt Batteries but these don't come with any bag ir storage boxes. If I have the time I am going to use your foam techniques to make inserts for some kind of carrier.
    BTW: I have had a "D" battery powered foam cutter for over 20 years which I got to work on projects with my son.

    6:38 This is a Neubauschlüssel, also called Architektenschlüssel. It gives you access to newly built houses before the door locks or door handles are installed, it opens doors of electrical installation, windows and other things too. In addition it has a scale on it that makes choosing the fitting lock cylinder easy, no matter what design the door is and it can be used for installing door handles. It's a pretty handy tool.
    6:44 I'll need to have a closer look next week (need to visit a Baumarkt on monday anyway) , but judging by their style, these pliers are made by NWS. NWS sells under their own brand and also manufactures for other brands with individual color scemes. Even Milwaukee sells some NWS tools. They are great quality. When it comes to combination pliers and water pump pliers, I even prefer NWS over Knipex.

    FUNFACT in case you ever wondered about the precision of the "Zollstock" or "Meterstab" or "Gliedermaßstab" (almost none uses the last name for them , but i wanted to add that name aswell)
    it is categorized in 3 classes indicated by the oval sign in the front.
    An accuracy class of III in the oval field provided corresponds to a measuring tolerance of a maximum of 1.4 millimeters over a measuring length of two meters. An accuracy of III is common for wooden folding rules. An accuracy class II reduces the permitted tolerance to 0.7 millimeters with a measuring length of two meters. This is a common measurement for metal rulers and tape measures. With an accuracy of I, the tolerance is just 0.3 millimeters. Hard to achieve with a painted scale, which is why it is usually lasered.
    Those ratcheting pipe cutters are pretty dangerous epic, i remember me using one to cut a full wooden oak broomstick shorter for my little nephew

    I’ve always liked them rulers, ever since I picked a vintage one up from a carboot sale. I’ve also got one that folds out one way then swivels open for double length

    This kinda reminds me of my childhood, loved going to my local Bauhaus and spending what felt like hours wandering around looking at everything they offered while waiting for my dad.

    Thanks for the showcase of memories. Spent a number of years working in Germany and still have a good number of tools from when based over there. Sadly don’t have a single wooden rule left so if fortunate enough would love to win one.

    UK DIYer, with three folding rulers.
    A 3m yellow wooden one inherited from my dad, a 1m in my go to belt pouch, and a vintage 2ft Rabone boxwood and brass because I like how it looks.

    Another great video Jonathan. The Duratech electric screwdriver you left behind, is great for small electronics repairs, especially given the LED's. The Stanley quick slide sport knife has a quirk that always catches me out, if the slide out blade isn't locked all the way in, you can't open the other blade.

    You can use stainless steel fishing leader instead of nichrome wire in the foam cutter. Thinner wire might cut quicker.

    My grandad swore by his wooden folding ruler as he called it. Not seen them in years until i started following your channel! Gotta get myself one. They seem easier to use than a tape measure. Problem is, as you say those easily obtained are cheap compared to those you've get from abroad. Keep up the good work Jonathan
