[@mishawakafire]

Knew the was more to you than this channel. I have greater respect to see another RN, Paramedic get into wood working.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@CH-sx9je]

Always appreciate the DIY angle to your suggested tool segments. Too often the other channels just push the expensive tools. Thanks for keeping it real!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Some of the most use tools in my shop are inexpensive and really not made for woodworking.

[@jamesbeecher4431]

@@MatthewPeechWoodworking Mat, I was a fireman for 21 years at Penn State and I used a set of trauma shears to cut a window out of a rollover car accident one afternoon. It happened right in front of me and I needed to get into the driver ASAP. The FD was probably 10 minutes out. I secured the vehicle by 'cribbing' the posts and corners and then punched a starter hole with my car's lug wrench and then cut the window out. They can cut a lot of shit.

[@buggyridge]

Ordered those scissors immediately upon you showing them. Thanks!!

[@theclown3967]

The roach clips or the "oh shit" shears? Lol

[@cuervojones4889]

Those trauma shears look awesome! No more having to get my good, expensive fabric scissors resharpened after cutting a bunch of vinyl mesh for sling chairs and awnings! Yay!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes!

[@locknload9143]

The Rubber block for cleaning you paper/belts is a must have! 4 years later and I still have about 3 inches left. 🇨🇦 Edit: That kinda came out wrong lol..

[@jeffreykindron7162]

At least it's getting used 😂

[@RedneckDaveAbb]

Do you call him "Mr Winkie"?

[@wfd805]

Trauma sheers are so useful! I am a Firefighter (for almost 20 years now) and I use these for so many things on and off scenes. Good suggestions using the "clamps" also!

[@kellyhlad2641]

As a ER nurse for MANY years I have so many pairs of Trauma scissors Ive lost count , not to mention hemostats and needle drivers that I use from sewing to getting a fish hook out of a fish mouth. LOL

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes! I know what you mean.

[@kamilegier4730]

Wow! I too am a retired trauma nurse and use trauma scissors and a selection of hemostats

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes!

[@briansnodgrass2895]

Yup, I have a tool drawer labeled “odd tools”. Also have large mirrors mounted on the wall behind my work bench. When working on projects it helps to see for lining up or squaring etc..when my hands are busy holding the side I’m on. Cheap mirrors from a garage sale for example. Tks Matt.

[@sklikizos]

The mirror trick is awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@BearSoul85]

Never used a hemostat for woodworking, but love using one when fishing.

[@StillLivinginthewoods]

I like to use the "magic eraser" type sponges from the dollar store for applying stain and dyes. You get a pack of four for a buck, and I cut each one into two to four pieces. They work really well for dyes.

[@jshelton0055]

The hemostats comment had me in "stiches". LOL

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

🤣

[@richardandrade9418]

Thanks for all of your knowledge... you're like a woodshop buddha

[@dcruicks1]

Now I know why I like you. A fellow ER nurse here. Love your channel!!

[@danburd783]

That’s really cool to see the medical tools. I’m an ER nurse of 15 years myself and trying to get a side gig going. I have two or three pairs of trauma shears in my shop along with hemostats, and various other items that come in handy from time to time.

[@Laanwa43]

Great ideas for a Fathers Day Basket (oil pan)!

[@navret1707]

My wife is a retired RN. I’ve got all sorts of medical equipment in my shop. Yes, and a first aid kit!

[@halsonger1317]

Great ideas and I'm definitely getting a set of the trauma scissors for my main first aid kit and another set for shop use. I had a dried-up tube of clear silicone in a caulk tube, so on a whim I cut the tube open and tried it on my oscillating spindle sander. It cleaned the sawdust off about as well as the dedicated cleaning stick I had been using, so instead of throwing it in the landfill it found a useful purpose.

[@mishawakafire]

What a fantastic idea! I have got a tube that is dried up so I am going to try it

[@Book-Gnome]

Another long time ER nurse here. Wonder what draws us to woodwork

[@egbluesuede1220]

Love the addition of medical supplies for woodworking. I also use a huge box of tongue depressors and syringes for stirring finishes and measuring or applying finishes or glue in the shop.

[@NathanielOnYouTube]

Wow! I’ve watched a ton of your videos and loved every one. I am an RN also, married to an RN who spent the first several years of her career in the ER and on a helicopter as a Flight RN. Those are both definitely super handy tools, in and out of the workshop!

[@theocdogg]

The scientific name for hemostats is Roach Clips!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol

[@paulmood308]

[@JGerm]

Lmaooooo

[@hurricanelorraine2206]

[@nicoleellis7593]

Lol roach clip! There is a lot of us that already have that tool. Don't regret buying that one!

[@danieldaponte1819]

That piece of rubber for cleaning sandpaper... you can get very large ones for dirt cheap at truck stops. They're used by truckers for removing brake dust or something

[@patrickhaupt5723]

The magnest bar is a great place to store your roach clip, I mean screw holder/puller/tape roll holder/

[@netltube]

Great reminders on lot of these and great content, no BS. You put out a lot of good vids that's at another level than most I've suffered through. ty sir!

[@mostlymoparih5682]

Another great video. Happy Motoring and WW.

[@BassMent70]

I'm new to the channel andI knew I liked you for some reason. Big props to being a Nurse.

[@ST-0311]

Decent trauma shears will cut a penny in half. They are incredibly versatile cutting tools. I keep straight and curved hemostats all over the house. Perfect size and grip for multiple tasks. The staining pads looks fantastic. I have 12/13 stair treads and risers to stain next weekend. Those are going in the cart. 👍

[@alishar9109]

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!

[@jodygotyourgirlngone]

Thanks Matthew!

[@jonfritter295]

I worked in the ER as an NREMT for years and love my trauma shears but never thought about using them in the shop. But they will be in the shop now!

[@PaganWizard]

When your scissors start to get dull, take a small sheet of heavy duty foil, not the really thin cheap stuff, fold it over itself 2 or 3 times, and cut the foil with your scissors. Be sure to use the entire length of the blades to cut the foil, to be sure that the entire blade set gets sharpened, and this will bring your scissors back to life really quickly. Going back to your medical supplies that work in a woodworker's shop theme, another very important "tool" every woodworker absolutely MUST HAVE, is a good first aid kit. Between my roommate who used to be an ER nurse, and a cardiac nurse, and of course you, who also works in an ER, and me, having been a first responder and an Eagle Scout, from way back in the day, I know the importance of having a large first aid kit that has lots of gizmos and gadgets in it. I think I spent about $150 for my kit, and then I bought a 4 pack of tourniquets, cuz you'll just never know. Think of this like car insurance, it's a waste of money until you need it. If there's one thing I will carry with me to my grave from my Boy Scouting days, it's "BE PREPARED".

[@P46345]

A few years back I was looking for a way to organize my screwdrivers in my roll away, I came across a channel from a guy in Canada and he was using the magnetic bars to hold his in place, now I've got them holding all my screwdrivers, wrenches, ratchets, extensions, pliers you name it. I need more tools. ;-)

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes!

[@rikbitter]

Hemostats are also handy for removing splinters.

[@danieldaponte1819]

Love these suggestions

[@harldave9850]

Gotta agree with you on the sanding eraser- it works so well and as you said watching it clean it fun- Tyler

[@jeffreykindron7162]

I bought erasers for my mechanics, I had to explain and show them how to use them. They hardly get used, they would rather change out a $10.00 sanding disk

Abrasive Cleaning sticks are a good buy for absolutely any one and literally save you crazy money.

As an EMS provider, I can 100% agree with the trauma shears and hemostats in the garage/woodworking setting. I have needed them many times to cut and hold when the needle nose pliers were to big.

[@matersworkshop6123]

Thinking outside of the box brings new ideas. I've done several videos showing how I've done that

[@StileandRailWoodworking]

I was a nurse for 10 years too. The funniest thing I used was Foley statlocks to organize extension cords along the wall.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Lol I had never thought of that. Awesome! 😂

[@Jeedehem]

« Trauma » and « scissors » are words that opened a whole new dimension for me. Thanks a lot. Also, I can testify to thinking outside the box, regarding alternative use of tools. My favorite: I bought a cheap light motorcycle lift and use it as my thickness planer cart. Since my shop is small, I can store the planer under a bench, and get it ready to use in about 2 minutes.

[@user-nx3zk5qi8t]

Speaking about small family owned businesses with an amazing product, and I rave about it every chance I get, is The Mullet cyclone. They just came out with their boom arm as well. Saved me from building a cheap one and I don’t know how much in filters and bags for a CT26. And I use that DE A LOT. Filter looks brand new and I haven’t had to ever change the bag it came with. Pricey, yes, extends out instead of being on top of a shop vac but the thing is amazing

[@jcwoods2311]

Excellent! These tool vids are great, just like all of your stuff. - Amateur tip: I use small diameter heat shrink tubing on the hemostat jaws for delicate work. Prevents the splines from scratching the work, would protect those fuel lines as well I think. Keep up the positivity Matthew, wen really appreciate your work!!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Great idea! Thanks for the tip!

[@WomanUnfiltered]

Okay, so now I have to add a few things to my wish list. Trama sheers & hemostats are oddly enough in my odd tools bin, bar magnets I got several years ago from Harbor Frieght, i think they carry the sheers & hemostats too. I don't just use my bar magnet for organizing my tools on the garage but also for my jewelry tools. Several years back, I carved out piece of wood & glued a bar magnet in for a mounted knife holder for my Momma. Oh dang! Note to self, make some mountable knife holders. I'd say since I don't do KZbin videos, you should add that to another smalls video. Lol The hook magnets you can order from Temu, they have them capable of holding from like 5 to over 100 pounds. They usually arrive about 2 weeks after you order and shipping is free. Man, now im thinking of a sheet of metal with some heavy duty magnets for even more tool organization. 😂

[@liquidrockaquatics3900]

I had a hvac shop cut me sheet metal to fit inside my cabinet doors in my kitchen next to my stove. I then got stainless steel containers with magnets on the bottom to attach to the door for spices. The same thing would work great for organizing bits and connectors. The ones I got were about an inch and a quarter deep and three inches in diameter with a clear window in the lid

[@user-nx3zk5qi8t]

I literally can never stop staring at all those Bridge City Tools back there.

[@ChattanoogaDan]

Bro, I agree. I use my roach clips for all kinds of tedious tasks. I have a set in the car, in the kitchen, in the shop and probably a few more places.

[@SteveH-TN]

I love that little comment about the magnet that the tools hang from, “the tool will always be there. Theroleticly

[@JamesSmullins]

I've had hemostats around for well over twenty years for fishing and fly tying. Never thought of using them for pulling or holding small nails and staples. Now I need to get a couple more to keep in the shop and truck toolbox.

[@normanconnors95]

I use the hemostat pliers/clamps for holding coins when I make them into rings while removing the temper. I am always looking for a stain or resin applicator rag that won't come off on the wood, the pads sound awesome!!

[@stacyboyett2823]

Pro tip: Hemostats can be purchased at most autopart stores 😊

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

They are a handy tool!

[@paulrooster2108]

Yep an their lil bro's alligator clips , gotts to add leather string with a small feather off'n it

[@marialawing1866]

The hemostats is a must have for my job. I repair cars that come off the line with issues that need repaired. Also discovered these along time ago for use in sewing.

[@rogerwatkins8557]

they make good roach clips also

[@leslieapplegate65]

I have a hemostat with my business card slitter at work - it can get into the small spaces when I get paper jammed in the rollers . Grips the paper nicely!! Next trip into town, I'm going to look for the bar magnets!!

[@alfisk9738]

Trauma shears are also known as penny cutters, they can and will cut a penny in pieces

[@skipanardoross6805]

I'm only as far as the trauma shears but I have to comment. I did an impulse buy from Harbor Freight a couple years ago for a pair of them. .99 cent. I was blown away by how they cut anything. I ended up giving them to a friend because I figured I'd pick up another one the next time I was at the store. Haven't seen them there since lol. Anyway, I can vouch for how good they are.

[@BenNawrath]

Great video, lots of good ideas. I use one of those 6" magnetic trays with dividers built in for my most-used bits. Kind of categorizes them. So handy.... I used to hold my lathe tools on those bars, but a friend pointed out that you can magnetize the tool which could then try to hold itself in place on the lathe tool rest. That can cause you to overcompensate trying to move it around during a cut, and potentially be dangerous. I since re-built my took holder with a bunch of small PVC pieces. I also have one stainless shaft tool that never stuck anyway!

I have several hemostats/Kelly clamps and trauma shears from my paramedic days. I used the tape trick for holding tape because my interns were usually off doing anything else but handing me tape! The best clamp and I can’t find after the last move was the curved ones. I miss that curved one the most.
