Can I Source The Ultimate DIY Tool Kit FOR JUST £50 From This Car Boot Sale?

[@melodoubt]

Am I mistaken or did two sheets of Shadow Foam at £27 :99 a pop cost more than the entire tool kit?

[@ojcrook1340]

Never thought I'd get to a point in my life where I'd be watching bargain hunt voluntarily 😂 another great video

[@JonaShone]

You and me both! Never thought I’d get to a point my job was to do bargain hunt 😅

[@LaraAmelia7]

Tool content!!!! 😍😍😍

[@drpuggle9877]

as a sheffield resident its really nice to see the old school quality tools still going, its half the reason i got into engineering!

[@JonaShone]

I don’t think you’ll ever truly stop seeing them, something about their quality that will just keep getting passed on generation to generation

[@ojcrook1340]

I've got a challenge for you: put together a camping tool kit for under £60. Complete with mallet, peg puller, fishing tools, BBQ utensils, etc. Maybe take it on a camping weekend and see how you get on 😊😊

[@JonaShone]

Not a bad shout that, although might be a tad late in the year to do that and release it timely but defo add it to my list!

[@jamesr8318]

@@JonaShone could do a collab with kent survival for that video

[@SeanBZA]

Hammer has that handle to put a set of nails in, then you can hit the edge and have a nail pull off the string, and then hit it into the wood. Used for framing when you need to do a lot of nails, but no air or power nailer around.

[@JonaShone]

Thanks for the info, that's really interesting!

Great You Tube video for the beginners.

Glad to see people are aware of stolen power tools at car boot sales

[@JonaShone]

it's definitely something I want to bring more awareness to as the channel continues to grow!

[@stuartpercival9383]

I like the small set of insulated drivers in the wee pouch. As for something missing from the kit I would suggest some kind of marking implement - pencil, french chalk, crayon, scriber or a Sharpie/ marker pen...... Lol lump of coal. Keep up the good work guys 💪🏻

[@camwinstone]

The “hand made knife” is a glazers tool for removing old putty. I got the exact same one 40 years ago when I was an apprentice.

[@icba4907]

Called a hacking knife in the gas industry, used for cleaning pitch off steel mains.

[@essexmirage]

I have a couple of these too, all the same exact design

[@Penster-Elle]

Not bad for £50.00. I've bought many of my wood-turning tools from car boot sales. You can save a fortune.

[@JonaShone]

Absolutely! What do you think the best bargain I got was?

[@WafflesWorx]

@@JonaShoneThe guy at the bargain shop giving you the extra dollar off was pretty sweet. Love it when vendors are caring like that.

[@patrick9402]

I have a Bosch tool case that I keep meaning to take to the dump as I no longer have the tool it came with. Thanks to your info I'll be breaking out my multi-tool to cut out the inside moulding. Thank you 👍

[@JonaShone]

Let me know how you get on with that Patrick, sounds a good project that!

[@NoisyBoy1990]

Make up a tool kit that fits in the spare wheel in the boot of the car, with all the essentials for basic repairs on the side of the road. Be a fun little challenge, provided you've got a car with a spare wheel to build it into!

[@Composites.Cymru34]

Best bargain was definitely the box! Have had a friend at the tip keeping an eye for them but these are perfect!!

[@MelaniePotton]

Watching this video has inspired me to sort out my tools. Then I’m going to get some of your foam and cases. It’s so much easier to do any job, when your tools are where you can find them, and when you can’t you end up buying again. Big Thank You for your inspiration.

[@courtneygubb2840]

I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now and love all the organising and tool shopping challenges! Now going back and watching your older videos x would love this tool box for my brother! X

[@danielpermien3082]

The hammer is a very nice one and is great in the hand. The sealant remover is one the tools you never have but need at some time as a homeowner 😊👍🏼 Love the videos 🇬🇱

[@davidwalker5966]

What a great idea for anyone on a tight budget and for anyone just setting up home never having a need for a toolkit before

[@dan_4127]

Combination square looks really good and the screw drivers are much better looking quality than you could get in your average new screwdriver set. Really impressed with everything you got for £50. You missed a trick in this video, you should have put your burger in shadow foam 😂😂 love the videos, keep up the good work. Maybe do a video of a budget toolkit made up from tools from Facebook marketplace?

[@peternewman-bl2ws]

I love old tools, they are a different class and always try and get something unusual at a boot fair. Some nice finds there and thanks for the tip about the tool boxes I think that will be on the list.

[@stevencleverly8426]

Great tip on the makita boxes just bought some on Ebay after watching this video, I would say the roofing Hammer was the best buy.

[@mr.b.4048]

Clay Brand. First started my tool collection around 50 years ago, and I still have my Clay square shank flat head drivers from back then.

[@JonaShone]

definitely a tool that was made to last!

[@nickisly6522]

This is great! My step father did something similar for me when I lost my husband. I actually still have it. Love the Makita idea and a major bargain. In terms of car boot bargain, that American style pick/ brick hammer is a steal.

[@FGUK1973]

I bought 4 MW Fuel interlocking tool casses for £30 and have used shadow foam in each of them. I have one full of my hammers, one for my jigsaw and blades. I even have 2 american 50 cal ammo boxes with an Angle Grinder in one and all my bolster chisels and club hammer in the other. They are brilliant. Got a Dewalt box that hold my B&D rotary sander with all its sanding disc too.

[@mikehewitt6484]

I’ve been buying stuff from the guy that refurbishes the tools for a few years now. I’m surprised how much the value of them has increased since before Covid. Good tools more than doubling in value. Really enjoying this channel. I think your shadow foam is a brilliant product. Like the toolbox tip too 👌🏻

[@worstuserever]

Good to see what you can do on a tough budget, as many people have to make every penny count. Bearing in mind it will inevitably have limitations, this has most basics covered for common small home repair and decorating tasks. Keeping as near as possible to the cutthroat brief, I'd add a tenon saw and a "Manchester spanner" i e. rubber mallet. You could introduce minor electrical diagnostics and repair by adding a cheap multimeter, and a pipe cutter to get started on plumbing. I like that multi-purpose sealant tool. If it works, a one-stop accessory for all those functions will save so much rummaging around.

[@franad14]

Love a car boot sale! Found some superb stuff there! 😊 Great budget tool kit! Best price was the Makita tool box I reckon! 😁

[@snellingjam1]

Car boots are great for cheap tools that are usually pretty good quality too..... Love the old style Stanley knife, last for years, still use my dad's one from the 60's!

[@statuescher]

I’ve got the red one of the little 5,000 V screwdriver set, inherited from my dad! I’ve used it for years for electrical terminals.

[@DavidBakker]

The Makita case is a stand out star and I also really like the right angle/ruler thing (no idea what that’s called in English 😅), so I guess I really like the blue/teal colored items 😊

[@MartinBarry-r7y]

Just watched the £50 toolkit video. I lived in Northwich for 10 years and those two bargain shops were not there when I lived there. There was a DIY shop called Handy Jacks which closed down a while back . I would have loved to visit those bargain shops.

[@barrymelody4477]

Liked this one as it shows you don't need to spend a fortune to get started. I also took you tip and went to look in the discount range on ITS and ordered some DeWalt cases for £5 each absolute bargain. Great tip and also ordered some other stuff!!! Keep the videos going 👍.

[@deniseshapiro7145]

❤ here in the states we go to garage sales. It's amazing the cool things you can get for very little money. You found some amazing stuff. ❤

[@rachelmortimore3129]

Seen your channel for the first time - I’m a hobby wood worker - enjoyed following you around the car boot - I got a steptoes yard near me where I pick up cheap tools - I love a rummage - I recon you need to add a pencil to your kit to make it perfect

[@RALLYxREP]

I love these challenges, a fantastic watch and the passion/enthusiasm for bargains and unique tools shines through.......can never have enough tools! Also love that these sorts of tools potentially get a second wind. As you said that'd serve someone well.

[@26conno]

Never thought to go to a car boot for tools. As a novice carpenter, i know ill be going there for anything i need now! 👍🏻

[@matt7blue1]

Some people are brand snobs but for a mixed bag it’s a great addition to anyone. Imagine getting that when u 1got your own house/flat. Looks a great tool box and all fits into a cupboard when you know where it all is. Should be a parent and child activity before they get their own place.

[@JonaShone]

Absolutely agree with you there!

[@RowenaBliss-hu9tu]

You did amazing for £50, and I way you boxed it up with the foam in the box was excellent. I need to get hold of a couple of those Makita cases for my ever growing toolkit

[@techlessman2162]

Loved the car boot visit, and those Makita boxes were a total bargain! But what I really really loved were that set of watch makers screwdrivers in the leather case, they were an amazing find. They looked like vintage Steadfast ones, but couldn't tell.

[@1MartinWaite]

That grout removal tool is for silicon removal and then you can smooth it out with the different smoothing rubbers on the end of the tool handle.😊😊 the 5in 1 was your best buy without any doubt.😊😊😊 To me the only thank you never got was a wood saw but I never seen any so I’ll let you have that one.😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnp-e9963]

5:26 That trim thing is used to cut UPVC window trims i.e. the pieces to hold the glass in. At least thats what my dad has one for. The one he has holds a stanley blade.

[@JonaShone]

Thanks for the info!

I think that grouter toll was one hell of a good find, A little hidden gem with added bonuses.

[@007bondport]

Great £50 kit shows you don’t need to spend a fortune, to get a decent kit , also what a great tip for the storage boxes I’ve got a few Milwaukee ones that just sit there doing nothing so I’m going to give it a go and make a few sets that can be taken to and from work easily, Thanks Jonathan for another video.

Shadow foam has given me the opportunity to combine my fathers, grandfathers and other families quality tools that ended up in messy boxes of junk! They now can be made up into sets of tools that means a lot and can be given to my children as well as nephews and nieces etc!! Endless possibilities for shadow foam and worth the price!!

[@mike_0213]

LOVE these types of vids where you go to non-tool stores and try to put a decent tool kit together. Maybe that little compartment in that hammer is for storing nails. You can find some strange things at garage / yard sales. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work with #shadowfoam

[@edinfreehold1847]

I would add a couple of 3" G Cramps, a 16-20" cross cut saw, a mastic gun and the most useful tool of all, a Mole wrench. Unlike everyone else, although I like the recycling of the Makita box, you can't leave it anywhere showing. I have had two car windows broken to nick Makita tools, both in the daytime !

[@michaelwatson2931]

Love watching you make these tool kits up you never know what you need till you need it

[@staceygillespie7227]

Now that $50 challenge would be hard to beat. You found and packed a boat load of tools in that case. I like how you repurposed the Makita case. Would like to see a prosumer kit done. Happy trails 🙏

[@9000_tegninger]

Love to rummage to fleamarkets, local skips and worksites for that golden find (y) Free or cheap, is the goodie

[@RikRik-x6z]

You got a great tool kit together there! 😀 I have built up a fairly decent wood working tool set from several carboot sales, my fave find being a wooden block plane and a nice old wooden mallet for just £3 for the pair. Both will be getting a light restoration in order to keep the patina. Perhaps a wood working tool challenge would make for a good vid!?!

[@atdrum8060]

Great start for a basic hand tool kit, only things I would add would be a voltage detector, mastic gun, maybe some clamps, a general wood hand saw and a dead blow mallet otherwise not bad fro £50. Would be interesting to see what you could get for £150 or £200+ as if a new apprentice carpenter or electrician needed to start building their own collection of tools together

[@fredjacques2979]

Good selection. The bargin is the grout tool. Most useful

[@JonaShone]

Great choice, hard to argue with you!

[@adrianskelton7399]

That's a great set! I'd be well happy with that for £50! I think I'd probably have to add a tape measure though, but that's just personal preference. Great watch as usual, thanks!

[@I_play_fs22]

This Is the way to do it! I have a car boot near me that also do auctions animals and machinery the tools there and spare parts are great for cheap

[@aidancallaghan5040]

Great little set for £50. Love the idea of the Makita cases, I might have to look into that

[@mihamaker]

I would say that particular kit or similar does not need shadow foam insert, at least not full one. Maybe one bottom layer for heavy tools and other tools just assorted on top of them. Maybe add thin wave foam on the lid to squeeze assorted tools.

[@paulwest4685]

A lot of stuff for the price. The first guy letting you keep on adding things a still charging just £10 was a great start. I think that amongst the best was the digital vernier for £5 and the grout removal tool set was best of the tools, but beyond these was the Mikita box for £2.50 is great.

[@Inigo566]

My friend just moved into a new house and expressed interest in having a tool kit. She’s been curious about some of my tools, when I visited her once, I brought along an old-school tire pressure gauge to check her tires, which she thought was such a simple gadget but effective. When she asked what tool kit she should buy, I offered to put one together for her. She's really into recycling and prefers to have second-hand tools, and she specifically requested a tire pressure gauge. I ended up getting a budget-friendly Milwaukee toolbox, which seems like a perfect fit! Thanks for the inspiration, i'll be ordering some foam for the box soon, i do think she will need a small powered screwdriver , if you have any thoughts on that it would be good to hear

[@johnscruby9134]

Awesome kit. Not sure how long those £6 spanners will last for but a great starter for someone. Great idea to also be aware of knocked off power tools

Older tools always have more appeal to me than newer. Also love a rummage round a car boot sale or looking round independent hardware/ironmongers shops than the bigger chain stores.

[@michaelfairchild]

For a second Ive thought those tools in the blue pouch at the beggining of the video were Pferd brand, but they dont make those type of tools. That would be a steal to get Pferd at low price. Proper way to remove rust from pliers is to chuck them into container with vinegar for 24h. After that chuck them into container with baking soda and water mix to remove the vinegar (acid). Dry and oil.
