I Found AMAZING French Tools in 2 of France's BIGGEST TOOL STORES AKA Brico Marche & Mr. Bricolage!

[@richw456]

Love the homage to The Naked Gun movie opening sequence. Camera system looks amazing

[@ShadowFoam]

Was humming it as I was driving 👍

[@glynprice3815]

Taken over by BOM

[@urbanlucky98]

The level is also sold in the Netherlands, commonly the small ones are magnetic, and the bigger ones only the expensive ones. They are commonly used for metal building, the bottom part is extra flat to make sure you can do 1mm leveling on metal beams etc. (Torpedo level)

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

This has become the best place to learn about tools, including tools that I didn't know about, and didn't know I needed! It's clear that you are passionate about tools, so thank you!

[@malteseowl]

Hi Jona, how about a "Made in Sheffield" tools collection ? You may have to look in the antiques shops, unfortunately. Love the quirky tools !!

[@ShadowFoam]

Funny you should say that, I’ve got the starting of a Sheffield steel tool collection in the works atm

[@adamwells3716]

Those cameras look brilliant, really good quality, would love these 🙏🏻

[@AJPsWorkshop]

The cameras are awesome. If I won, I would keep them in view of my 10mm sockets so I know where they keep going. lol 😂 great video

[@ShadowFoam]

😅

[@chrisomahony7166]

Gotta love a classic "Police Squad / Naked Gun" reference! The Eufy cameras seem really well / easy to set up! Great video as usual Jono, keep up the "hard" work! 😉

[@sextonhardcastle2656]

That go on then dad joke made me laugh way harder than i thought i would

[@ShadowFoam]

😅😅😅

[@Oncearedalwaysaredx6]

Been using the Eufy doorbell camera for over a year now and it’s been an excellent piece of kit Those camera would be a great addition to my setup to keep check on my shed and cars on the driveway Also love the quirky tools Keep the videos coming the more the better 👍

[@alanmcguckin5257]

I have the Stanley saw and the hacksaw handle, had them for a few years, I think they were from B&Q, both have come in handy a handful of times for lightweight uses in awkward places. Got to agree that the Stanley saw isn’t the most user friendly, but I’ve still kept a hold of it.

[@watson2867]

Greetings from Thailand. I bet you don't get many responses from here. You are so spoilt in the UK and Europe for DIY tools. Come here and see the meagre selection. That camera set looks epic. With all the sunshine we get here, that would work a treat. Spot the elephants breaking in to steal the bananas from the garden.

[@senabob]

what utility knife would you recommend ? i prefer folding body must be something tuff and able to reload blades quick and simply. would have to withstand daily abuse i was looking at the unilight one

[@daverdaceng]

Love that camera set! These videos are brilliant - I am addicted 😅

[@MrAidanfleming]

Those cameras would be perfect to protect my van on my street outside my home!!!❤

[@curtis7739]

Love watching your videos they really show the tool market outside Britain

[@liamkelly4471]

A gimlet is essentially a tool used for pilot holes. They were extensively used when people were using hand drills and bits and braces etc. before we all used quick chucks etc on our electric/battery stuff. This is what people used for the pilot hole. Im still only in my 40's but was lucky enough to be taught by some real old school people, and still to this day, carry a gimlet in my tool belt. They are obviously quite small and dont take up much space in my rig, the amount of times they come in handy is remarkable. The amount of time they save in modern days if youre a distance away from your vehicle or similar or on a roof etc is fantastic. If you know what they're purpose is now, and given their size, i highly recommend putting one in your arsenal ?

[@blarfroer8066]

What material do you use it on?

[@liamkelly4471]

It's for timber

[@Mrchris800]

Love the videos, content and the delivery. Great just great.

[@tonym1968]

Love seeing all a quirky tools Jona, you've inspired me to always visit a local tool shop whenever I'm away. That Eufy kit looks absolutely amazing.

[@ShadowFoam]

Let me know how you get on with your tool visits! 👍

[@WayneArrowsmith]

Loving the videos, your finding some niche tools. The camera system that you’re giving away looks awesome!

[@rsruddick]

Loving the naked gun reference. I am very jealous of all the tool shopping trips you have 😂

[@tim1289r]

Love the self loading utility knife. Im still using one that I bought forty odd years ago with a hook type hinge at the end and a slotted screw fastener. Before retractable ones or a sheath to stop you cutting your hands to ribbons when delving into the cantilever toolbox.

[@admspk]

Another great video, nice to see eufy come on-board with a give away. I have a set of their camera's for inside and they work well

[@jamesmullen287]

The French store looked very similar to a B & Q or Homebase but with the addition of Tool boxes. The Security camera though what a useful bit of tech. I am in the market for one of those as the door bell camera has a very limited range so was thinking of getting another system set up but it looks like this is a full comprehensive system which is great. thank you for choosing them as sponsors. Great show as always.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks James, appreciate that mate!

[@paulbudford]

The camera system actually looks pretty good. I love the quick replace blade knife as well. Great design.

[@ShadowFoam]

Agreed Paul, thanks for your input!

[@Mavisto2]

Camera system looks amazing, perfect for my garage and home office. Can’t wait to visit France again as I’m a real Opinel fan boy.

[@TheJame951]

hey Jona it's always so interesting to see unusual tools from different parts of the world, hope you keep the series up for a long time. also love the versatility of the security camera system

[@ShadowFoam]

I plan on doing that my friend!

[@shaneparton1143]

The camera stuff looks amazing just like all your amazing videos I really enjoy them all

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Shane, that's really nice to hear mate!

[@warwickhowland5816]

Just moved to France from the other side of the world. A question for a local. My local Weldom (hardware store) has screws in bulk but I'm unsure how it works. Do I just cram as many into the supplied bags and I get charged according to the bag size?

[@mike_0213]

Another classic tool haul video. I really love seeing new and different tools that I might not of ever seen without being a sub to your channel! Thanks

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks for subbing mate, it's always appreciated!

[@adamtingle3748]

How strange! I’ve just been looking at those exact cameras lately! They look awesome!! Another great vid Jono 🎉

[@willbennett6831]

Great video as always especially the naked gun/police squad reference ☺️I honestly find these stores like an adult version of “toys r us” when I was a kid 😂

[@JohnSturrock-t1z]

Looks like a great camera system and easy to install. Great to see you review this in conjunction with your great tool / foam reviews.

[@GroundedDiagnostics]

the activity zone is brilliant what a great piece of kit

[@chrispcream1]

Loving the videos as always ,I like the Stanley pin punch and the McKenzie utility knife ,the camera set looks very interesting mite have to look into one of those , keep the videos coming 👍

[@NottsKnots]

Hi Jona, Had any time to revisit the 3d printing space since you picked up a 3d printer at all? it would be interesting to see if you could intergrate some Shadowfoam with the Gridfinity 3d printed storage system. Could really help with organising things with plain Gridfinity bins that you then fill with Shadowfoam and cut out the tool shapres for those of us who can't or don't want to design our own custom gridfinity holders for objects on a computer. You could even sell pre-cut sheets with common sizes for bins like 6x2, 8x2, 1x4 etc that are still attached with tabs to the main sheet so people can just pop them out.

[@ShadowFoam]

I must admit Ive not got round to it and I've not long got myself a new 3D printer, must make an effort to find tie to work my head around it

[@barrynicholls3467]

Look forward to a utility knife episode. Don't forget all of the strange shape / specialist blades!

[@bossdaddy1919]

Camera set up looks easy which is a bonus for a oldie like me! I would use it to keep an eye out for pesky Herons raiding my garden pond. Great vid as normal.

[@ChairboyRules]

That camera set is awesome, loved the tools as always.

[@Nermash]

The Naked gun, classic😊

[@ShadowFoam]

It absolutely is my friend!

[@jasonchadburn1434]

That security camera set is quality I would love that for my home, keep up the amazing content pal 👏👏👏👍

[@Imshrekstwinbro]

Ive been looking at thar camera system recently myself. It does look decent. Always love a tool hunt video. Its great to see what you find! Another cracking vid.

[@ketsu_pl]

The quick reloading utility knife really caught my attention. Definitely a number one for me. Regarding the cameras, isn’t it super easy to unscrew them and just… take? I guess they have to be somewhere out of reach?

[@GaryLeishman]

2 things I really liked, the Dimpler looks very handy as I'm guilty of using too much pressure on screws, and the camera setup. I have cctv that doesn't work too well due to the need to have a degree in double dutch for the setup instructions, (or maybe it's just me). That Eufy set up looks very easy to use.

[@ShadowFoam]

Both great points you are making there mate! 👍

[@zaxmaxlax]

The dimpler was the worst 18 euros I ever spent. It broke within literally 30min of use.🤦 the next day I bought a drywall drill.

[@MrDonnygillies]

What's the max frame rate on the camera system and are they any good at picking up registration plates especially at night.

[@flyndas]

Aww I remember my dads gimle set. I'll be in Brico next week..😊 love Leroy merlin over there. Cameras are a good idea. Face recording how brilliant ..

[@stuartsear4474]

Hi, i realy like the way tools fit in shadow foam I managed to get a piece from a friend to try and was delighted with how it transformed my small tool kit, also I was using my dads folding wooden ruler up till a few months ago it was about 75 years old but I left it on the floor and it got crushed I was mad at myself maybe if I had my shadow foam tool box then it would not have happened.

[@jonathancatchpole7170]

Another question: How do you get these tools (knifes) back from other countries. Check luggage? Have you ever had issues with customs?

[@Sol-hl2rj]

I’ve had that two way Stanley nail setter for years now. And it remained unseen until today! I like it a lot, and use it regularly to set pin nails as well as small regular nails. It has held up well, no jamming.

[@ShadowFoam]

Very happy to hear that it has held up!

[@williamking6019]

Another great job Love the cameras definitely pretty cool and pretty smart.All the tools you got are amazing Keep. Up the great job appreciate all your hard work

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks mate, appreciate your comment!

[@michelleking6843]

Never miss your vlogs. Would absolutely love the camera system.

[@t.o.c_media]

Excellent video love you visiting different countries and seeing you need tools 🎉

[@andyfadian]

Camera kit looks very nice and very good quality 👍

[@pcjudge100]

Those CCTV cameras look great. I haven't seen anything like that before, but I wouldn't mind getting a set.

[@davidl1338]

Camera set looks very good. The app seems very well thought out. Stanley knife with the 3 blades ... Seems someone made a solution and waiting for a problem to use it on. Can't see the point either 😕 The Dimpler looks very nifty. Can see that being handy not just for plasterboard but plywood as well. Can see me buying one of those if I come across one. That hacksaw handle is handy ... I bet it is something that you could 3D print actually? The semi-automatic knife is a great design for someone who goes though loads of blades (maybe get a auto-loading scalpel for Shadowfoam cutting 😁). The other knife with the choice of locking blade or auto-retract is clever as well.

[@derekpeace9055]

Police Squad. My Dad used to use a folding ruler not a Zolstock, so I had to get one.

[@ShadowFoam]

got it Derek, well done mate

[@mm9773]

0:54 French hammers are ever so slightly more fancy than they would need to be. I quite like those shapes.

[@RichFlynn1]

Those CCTVs do look easy to set up, enjoying the channel 👍

[@mandosdad5436]

can never have enough cameras especially ones easy to setup, i am curious how many work knifes you got now,

[@chrismitchelmore6087]

Love watching your videos and your shadow foam is brilliant for storing my air rifles

[@BleepinScotland]

Friday night, tool night 👍

[@ShadowFoam]

What else would we be doing?

[@daleleatherbarrow6354]

fantastic piece of kit would love one and have you got a part number for the kwb knife

[@bk2764]

I think France has just thrown down the gauntlet with these pencils. The rest of Europe now needs to defend its honour.

[@ShadowFoam]

Absolutely!

[@PocketablesYT]

That picture on the package of the punch doesn't show it being used as a screwdriver but as a nail set instead(for trim nails)

[@ianpalmer8093]

I've had one of the flip over nail punches for years, it stays in my pouch so is always on hand, never had it jam and I've given it a lot of abuse

[@jonathancatchpole7170]

Hey Jona, great video. Question: will two 50mm layers of inserts fit into the Dewalt Tstak II deep draw?

[@martinford1649]

Another great video. Plus the cameras would be handy in my new workshop

[@azurewolfe8505]

My favorite items are the Dimpler and the auto loading KWB utility knife. I really appreciate how often you do giveaways, keep the content coming.

[@ShadowFoam]

My pleasure, I love sharing my tool finds with as many of you guys as I can!

[@chrishoward6774]

That Eufy gear looks awesome!

[@Paul-ry7rv]

I always appreciate a good Police Squad reference. I'm not sure how confident I'd be using the Stanley 3 in 1, it seems like it could fail in some unpleasant ways.

[@RAYMOND122918]

Security cameras give peace of mind, currently looking to upgrade from Blink at 3 locations.

[@ShadowFoam]

Would eccomend it, my camera man is looking to upgrade from his blink cameras too

[@tsr1190]

Great video as usual,do love some quirky tools. Also them eufy cameras look the most simple out of any ive seen.

[@ShadowFoam]

They are! I had them set up and working in 15 minutes

[@barryskeates5623]

Jona's next live, lets put all of these Knives in foam and put them ina draw along side the Zollstocks, great video, like the Nail setter/punch, usful and takes up less space than a bigger set

[@ShadowFoam]

Now there's an idea Barry!

[@aca4621]

Those cameras look smart how much are they and habe you been to poland for tools before am going next year and was wondering if there was anything worth picking up

[@huskandhull]

Had my eye on this camera system and been contemplating buying them, such clever technology. Free app use as well, perfect. 9:34

[@lampknapp]

Do you have any plans of visiting Sweden? In case you ever do, I'd recommend checking out either Biltema and/or Clas Ohlson because they have a few tools you might find quirky if you dig around enough. Clas Ohlson for example have an adjustable ring spanner I think you'd like. It adjusts between 5-16mm and might be great for a compact tool kit.

[@ShadowFoam]

Not this year, but I'll keep this in mind when I do visit!

[@Taztool786]

That is a great cctv system. How many trips abroad do you make? Are these trips just for tool hunting or fun aswell?

[@williamgallacher4069]

You made it look so easy to mount tools I will do this to mine instead of all lying in my tool box

[@ShadowFoam]

Definitely go for it, it’s so worth it!

[@stephenlipton525]

Great information re France. Currently working in Germany. , your channel introduced Bauhaus and Toom to me. Once our job moves into the French sites I now know where to go looking for various bits of hardware. Last zolstock I collected had Bauhaus Ingolstadt on it. 😀

[@ShadowFoam]

I would love that zollstock, thanks for commenting mate, always nice to hear things like this!

[@chrisleeks3890]

All you needed was a toy flashing light on your dash. Not the best tool haul for you, I thought the French would have had more quirky stuff. Love the Eufy camera set up. Looks more hi tech than my Ring setup.

[@sainzfab]

This looks like it's worth the drive over!

[@ShadowFoam]

I'd definitely recommend it!

[@ladylockpicker3289]

I have both the Stanley punch and one of the hacksaws, the hacksaw is great for awkward jobs and the punch has withstood a good hammering

[@lukeryves5097]

The spirit level reminds me of a French baguette 🥖

[@ShadowFoam]

😂

[@RoyWCanada]

Great tool selection as always. Nice layout on shadow foam. I thought the best was the France made spirit level. it would be interesting to find out why the slope. Security light kit looked great, i would love to win a set, fingers crossed. Thanks till next time.

[@three-phase562]

The handle for the hacksaw blade is really nice and simple. I had a similar one many years ago, that finally gave up and never found a replacement for it, so got a Toolan handle off Amazon.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks for the info!

[@peteryoung5791]

Very good. Using hand tools less and less this gave me a little enthusiasm to re-look at my hand tools........ I don't know if it carries the same name, but your shadow Foam is now sold in Australia, Super Cheap Auto (SCA) Interesting product. :)

[@tammybrazeau1213]

Good day, bud. Missed the live last week but will take time to watch this week. Those cameras are the 💣. The store reminded me of walking into our Home Hardware stores here in Canada.

[@ShadowFoam]

No worries about missing the LIVE mate, hope to see you at the next one!

[@aotnks]

CCTV system looked good, can you link it up to a storage device to record the video incase you miss the alert ?

[@ShadowFoam]

you can attach a 1TB hard drive

[@tomyorke1686]

The cameras are really idea with a good mix of modes and options

[@ginge7744]

thank you for another great video.

[@M2403K]

Another great video!

[@malcolmalty1604]

another great video. going back to one of your older video's, i think i need a weasel (got daughters and a slow bath drain) it was call a weasel i think. have you done the pink tool set yet. the camera picture look sharp and the solar panels a great ideal.

[@ShadowFoam]

It was a drain weasel mate, great tool! I have done the pink tool kit but I am currently in the midst of an additional project for it, might end up releasing it for breast cancer awareness next year!

[@Dronie35]

I think them cameras are great!!! Love ya videos keep it up buddy 😂

[@Mark-ng4es]

The camera system looks great I could put that to good use around me. Keep up the great videos love what your doing.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks, will do!

[@tompirozek4490]

Love the Eufy stuff, I have the doorbell camera and was actually looking at their security cameras but theres so many to choose from but this one looks ideal, particulaly like the facial recognition

[@ShadowFoam]

definitely worth looking into

[@denziljoe]

BINKY!! ❤ with Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln

[@ShadowFoam]

I'm afraid not but what a shout!

[@jamesmacleod8388]

I wonder how many of the tools in other countries you find quirky that they have as their every day tools

[@neilduncan345]

Hi Johanna great video again make’s my Friday night. Number 3 was my favourite items in this video.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thank you for joining us this Friday Night!

[@grantsmith2891]

Love these videos so much

[@ShadowFoam]

Glad you like them!

[@wyattskelton5481]

Love the security cams! Useful to check weather at home where abroad or check basement for water. I like the quick reload knife.

[@JordanTait95]

I actually have eufy cameras just the first generation they are really good! And no subscription fee like you get with ring 👌 I would definitely recommend them

[@ShadowFoam]

Really happy to hear you've got on well with them!
