13 Cool Tools You've Never Heard Of - But Need!

[@ThioJoe]

I know a lot of people have mentioned they have heard of all of these, but keep in mind the KZbin algorithm probably recommended this video to you because it knows you're interested in tools and therefore are more likely to have naturally heard about them before 🤔 I can assure you though the average person probably hasn't heard of most of these before. Also I've learned that Pozidriv screws are actually pretty common outside the USA, but here they're way less common.

[@glennreynolds962]

The rubber tape is used to insulate electrical splices on large wires with split bolt connections or "bugs". Electrical tape or friction tape is usually wrapped over it. It is not designed as a temporary pipe patch.

[@tyronewilliams1502]

Hi Theo Joe! Regarding the self-amalgamating tape, I used it for satellite installations. The F-connector is attached to the LNB, and the tape is wrapped around to provide an airtight and waterproof seal. The trick is to stretch it so it becomes half its width as you wrap, this makes the bond tighter and it actually makes a solid boot. When making interconnections, extensions etc, you can use it to make a safe retention of an F-connector, which could normally be pulled of the end of the cable. To remove it, a sharp scalpel or craft knife will cut through the layers.

[@EvilDaveCanada]

The tape at the end is also great to use where you need heat shrink but can not get the unshrunken heat shrink tubing down to where it needs to be. For example, I needed to cut through the outer insulation of a USB 3.0 cable as I needed to cut the power wires but keep the data wires intact. Now you could just cut the cable and then resolder the data wires back together BUT that would destroy the quality of each data wire. By using that tape, I can carefully remove the outside shielding, cut the 5v & gnd wires, then bend the cut wires back on themselves, put a drop of 'Crazy Glue' to hold the bent wire bent and then use that fusing tape instead of heat shrink. As you saw in the video, once fused, it does not want to come apart like 'electrical tape' wants to do. Now I know this sounds like a lot of work to just cut two wires in the cable BUT I had to do this to ten(10) different cables. These cables connected the USB 3.0 A sockets on the back of tbe motherboard to a powered 7 port USB 3.0 hub on each of the cables. The powered hubs have individual power switches on each socket and while that could mean I could have 70 different USB devices but the USB 2.0 spec allows for up to a total of 127 different devices so I still had lots of extra unused USB IDs. The reason I had to do all this is that the 5vDC from the hubs were flowing BACK to the motherboard and putting the 5vDC right back in to the PCIe bus. Unless you literally switched off the P/S, the cooling fan for the CPU kept spinning and it's LEDs stayed lit. The heat shrink would NOT fit over the type A connectors at each end of the cable and the cuts in the outer shield of each cable HAD to be sealed. This left me with only two options: the fusing tape or LTB-400 Liquid Electrical Tape. As it had to work but didn't have to look nice, the fusing tape was the easier of the two. I have both in my kit with my soldering pencil so it's not like I had to go and buy something special. I'm an old school software developer (62yo) trained in UNIX by AT&T Bell Labs. In those days you didn't have techs sitting around drinking coffee untill they are needed, if you had the skills, you fix the problem, be it software or hardware. I'm also a licensed amateur radio operator and the first personal computer I ever used was a S-100 system runing CP/M on a Intel 8080 CPU long before IBM even started selling the 8086 5 slot PC, not even the XT version. You can see the actual model in the movie 'War Games'. Yes, I'm old and I hated being a programmer right after 2001,A Space Odyssey came out in the theatres. I actually watched the movie in it's full 70mm format.

[@slusheewolf2143]

As soon as you talked about Posidrive, I liked the video. Seriously, that's life-saving information for an IT contractor.

[@AbominableHuman]

Someone could still blow out your pozidrive screws with a phillips head. If you need something more reliable, for small things like that stars (torx) are ok because you won't have much torque on them, but if you need something secure (as in security) consider spanner, one-way or bristol patterns. I think even torx has a security pattern with a peg in the middle, which is used in public areas.

[@darrylstromberg8207]

Self vulcanizing tape is used to weather proof outdoor electrical connections or connections in high humidity environments. We used it in the military to seal up connections to our antenna’s on the ship. If wrapped on tool grips it provides for a more secure grip. It’s an excellent product and I always have a roll in my tool box.

[@derschafer1012]

The manual impact driver is incredibly handy if you work on your own car. A lot of manufacturers secure brake rotors to the wheel hubs using phillips head screws so the rotors don't fall off when the vehicle is turned sideways during the manufacturing process. By the time you need a set of brakes, they're already rusted in place and you won't be able to remove them with a screwdriver alone. Sometimes you can use a screwdriver with a square shank and turn it with a wrench while pushing it into the screw really hard, but it's best just to buy a manual impact driver.

[@rachelwolford9876]

so happy to hear you speak maturely and being honest behind it

[@mjc0961]

Get a magnetic parts tray. You can stick the tray to anything metal and then stick screws in it, so they stick into the tray and don't get lost.

Years ago, as an electrician, we used step drill bits to enlarge panel holes from 1/2" to 3/4" or larger. Panels and boxes already came with 1/2" holes with knock-outs in them. But if you needed to enlarge that, this was the tool you used.

[@Chris-pb3se]

A manual impact driver does not do the same thing as an electric or pneumatic one. There are many applications, such as Honda brake rotors where you can either remove the hold down screws with a manual driver or start drilling because an electric one does not produce down force (tangential impulse) and is guaranteed to strip the #3 Phillips screw. They’re simply not the same tool.

[@ryanwilson1369]

Ahh yes I couldn't think of a use for the 1-2-3 blocks but eventually I thought of using them for their intended purpose of machining and manufacturing

[@Bballbeech1]

It's a little heavy-duty for the application but it could be used for carpentry applications. Like trim work, cabinets, stairs, bathrooms, and kitchens.

[@nicholasdowns3502]

Ryan Wilson, honestly I thought they were test tube holders, but that is because I have not gotten into machining yet.

I used to use the self-amalgamating tape for satellite installs. The F-connector on the LNB is made waterproof and even attaches to the thread. The way to use it is to stretch it so it goes about half its width as you wrap it around, this activates it much better than if you use it like a normal tape. It bonds so tight, it is as if it was moulded right on at the factory. A side note, if you install your own dish, remember to make a small loop at the bottom where it goes into the wall/window frame, so the cable goes down, bends, then comes up to enter the property. This is to avoid water ingress through the outer cable. Water cannot go upwards. :)

[@AbominableHuman]

Water can 'go' upwards, or any direction, including against gravity. Capillary action. But in this situation you are right, because the criteria for capillary action is not met.

Those are 1-2-3 machinist blocks. We have lots of those at our machine shop and use them for CNC set up, inspection or many other uses in machining.

[@neilbaker6756]

I think that they would be even more useful for the layman if the holes were drilled with different specific common sizes ( 1/8 , 3/16 , 1/4 ,etc.) on one side and then tapped with specific common threads (again 1/8 , 3/16 , 1/4 etc.) in the opposite side . With the sizes engraved along side each. A second block could be made with metric sizes.

[@cjhification]

@@neilbaker6756 there are metric equivalents, but they are 25mm X 50mm X 75mm having 25.4 X 50.8 X 76.2 is not so useful if precision work is being done. Better to have imperial and metric versions separate to my mind. 1-2-3 blocks are very common in engineering works or 1-2-3 metric blocks (25-50-75) and use common threading of either metric or imperial depending on the type.

[@artfulcodger7489]

There are a lot of people criticizing the presenter for saying Pozi Drive bits and screws are a bit uncommon. He is correct, in the US, at least. As a non-pro, the first time I was aware of them was when I was working on European cabinet hinges. I went to Lowes and Home Depot and inquired for them; nothing was available and none of the staff knew anything about them. Had to order from Amazon.

[@Name-ps9fx]

Super awesome tool accessory you can mention whenever you show a metal cutting tool (drill bits, hacksaw, file etc) is CUTTING OIL. Makes tools go thru metal like a hot knife thru butter, and protects the blade from excessive wear. I did hobby stuff for years before a clerk at a metal store mentioned it. I remembered it when you showed the multi-step drill bit...I’ve used my “cheapo” one for a couple years now and it’s still good, probably because I use cutting oil everytime I cut metal with it.

[@HepauDK]

When I apprenticed as a fitter some 25 years ago, we used coolant (demineralized water mixed with an oil based fluid that made it look like skimmed milk) for practically everything, except for the hacksaw and filing. Oh, and we used alcohol when drilling and threading aluminium and clean water for nylon. For half a year it was my job to check the coolant content on the CNC machines every morning.

[@EinChris75]

The measurement at 2:30 reminds me of an old joke... I hope it translates well: The Austrians developed the thinnest wire in the world. When this was finished, they wanted to know what diameter it had. The wire was so thin that they could not measure it. Says one Austrian: "Let's just send it to Germany, they are highly technolized, they may be able to measure it." Says the other: "No, we do not give ourselves the embarrassment, let's send it to America, they are also highly developed." So they pack the wire in a box and attach a note, if they can measure the diameter. After 2 weeks, the box comes back. In the box is a reply. "Unfortunately we can not measure this wire, it's just too thin." (That was the part I was thinking off when Joe was measuring the blocks... but let's continue...) One of the Austrians says: "Do we have to send it to Germany then?" Says the other: "No, we send it to China, where microchips are made, they can certainly measure it." Said and done. They attach a note again, if they can measure the wire. It takes about 2 weeks, then the box came back. The answer says, "Unfortunately, we can not measure this wire, we cannot find it in the box." Says the one Austrian: "Now we only have Germany left." Says the other: "Hmm well, let's send it to Germany." So they put a new wire into a box and sent it to Germany. Out of sheer frustration they forgot to enclose a note what they really wanted. It takes 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, no box. After 6 weeks, the box comes back. There is a note attached: "Well, we did not know what to do with this wire, so we cut a thread onto it and bored a hole lengthwise, we hope that's in your interest."

Most people stick to the wrenches, hammer, and screw drivers. I have been a carpenter for 15 years and I am self employed. That said, I take on anything that will pay the bills carpentry or not. And, I am a tool freak, so I waste time and money trying tools or accessories for my tools all the time. 30 years 50 years Australia, Austria, TinBuck2, I have seen those screws maybe 5x my whole life. I have seen the allen wrenches often times, and wondered wtf, why. Well, thanks to this video, now I know. Most of these tools are kinda lame, but not to all of the 133 thousand people who took the time to watch. If you can do better, do it. I welcome any tool videos. Especially if tools are represented that I am not familiar with or are "new" to me. I guarantee that I could show you at least 10 tools that you never even knew existed. Or show you uses with your own tools that you had no idea were even possible. I would never deny that you or anyone could show me uses of my tools that I was unaware of. So Ill just go back to my garage/shop now or my "rock" and finish my miter/table saw/router station with a carpenters vice, table vice, 4 drawers, saw blade slots, slots for hook and loop sandpaper, TV mount. Been working on it for a couple months now, but maybe you have a couple of suggestions that could help me speed it along.

For that manual impact, it's used when you don't want to use an impact drill, because you might strip the screw. I work on boats and stainless steel screws strip very easily. When there's a stubborn screw I use the manual impact. Slightly stripped screws as well. Use a larger bit and hammer away

A would suggest that impact drivers are generally associated with maintenance of machinery and are of little use in most other situations (a couple of which you did mention). Here in the UK, the bit holder is usually on 1/2inch drive so that you can use it with a socket set too. Word of caution, while Chrome Vandium double hex sockets can be used, it is intednded that black, single hex "impact" sockets are used to avoid rounding of nuts/bolts and shattering of socket. Also, here in the UK, Pozidrive are more common than Phillips screws, tho availability of bits is wide for both... probably a European thing.

[@HepauDK]

@@anywilldo4me Allen is the name of the company that invented the key/socket type back in 1910, and the use of the term is actually discurraged. The correct term would be "socket head" or "hex socket head" In Scandinavia they are generally called Unbrako keys/screws...

[@anywilldo4me]

I actually have some Unbrako branded keys and some Allen brand In the uk the female hex is often called Allen head or cap head When you start looking into them all several the same have different names

Pozidrive screws are mainstream in the UK. Phillips are most common as, drywall, machine threaded, or appliance screws etc!

Are you joking ? Who didn’t heard about “pozi bits” ? I believe you are the only one! That’s hilarious! :)))

Got you :)

I had never heard of them before, but this could be because the majority of my job involves measurements above 32mm.

[@Lapizi]

Well, i think it's just more common in Europe and very uncommon in the US

@@Lapizi Us citizens r so illeducated,so it's most likley several of theese tools that they never heard of-to us europeans they r quite common

[@SillyPutty3700]

@@hedning003 Europeans are so arrogant and pretentious. I can assure this guy does represent the average American trades person or even serious hobbyist. I personally own at least half of these tools, use them in my trade and have been for 33 years. I have seen or occasionally used the rest of them. Just because some white bread kid makes an inane video about semi-common tools does not mean that they are uncommon.. With the exception of the 123 block literally every tool he mention is likely available at a HD or Lowe's store within 5 miles of 75% of the us population.

Nice video. Didn't know about those rounded hexs keys - very cool. A decent version of those step bits are less than $10 at ye old harbor freight and you can get a free magnetic tray - so you don't lose your screws (or a large range of other choices) with coupons.

[@PengunFury]

for the step drill bit ( @13:15 ) dont't buy the tiny ones. you're way better off buying the biggest one you can find. you can always drill small holes with a big bit, but you can't drill big holes with a small bit. Greenlee sells the biggest one I found, and their quality is top notch.

Really Good List list! A few things could have been added: Screwdriver Demagnetizing Tool - Handheld Deburring Tool - Deburring / Chamfering Bit - Automatic Center Punch The Wera Hex Plus keys are actually the best available. The pozidriv section was educational, but not really a tool I would recommend. I personally think that a socket adapter set should have made it onto the list before screwdriver extensions.

Ive been a carpenter in the uk for 18years and have been using pozi drive for as long. How the hell do you not know about pozi drive screw bits?? This is very common in uk not new at all

[@jray5363]

Ben Makepeace They are not very common in the US. Although I had heard the term, I had never heard someone explain the difference. I don’t think this guy knows his ass from a hole in the ground, but it was nice to hear an explanation. By the way, I have worked in a home improvement store the last 23 years. Those screws just haven’t caught on. It’s like those square head bits the Canadians are crazy about. The first thing an American does is throw those bits away because they are pretty much useless here. The posidrive as least has potential to worrk a little better.

[@benmakepeace5759]

@@jray5363 im shocked the square bits the Canadians use are without a doubt superior. You Americans are definitely behind the times not using metric system and no pozi drive screws haha

@@benmakepeace5759 never heard them called imperial. We just call them standard. I'm usually happy if I can find the right socket when I need it. As long as it works, I'll use it.

That air shim is 👌 for getting into your car if u ever lock the keys in it

[@joshthecomputertech]

Cash. Lots and lots of cash. That's the best tool. Period.

[@Lapizi]

Note that cheaper bits will break more easily, and with break i mean that the tip will lose the ability grip in the screw and turn it. Take my advice, someone who has experience with it and uses it on the daily, spend more on bits to be sure theyll last. I got a set of €40 and i have around 12 bits or so but even the tiniest bit on that (Torx 12) will screw a 120mm screw with ease 😉
