Watching you go to all these different stores and showing off tools that I have never seen over in America is pretty cool. I like when you do those $100 tool kit challenge when you go to the thrift stores trying to put together a tool kit by buying used tools. I miss those ones, might be time for a new one. LOL Thanks Jon for all you do.

A few years back I picked up one of those mini adjustable spanners for a friend who loves anything in miniature. I kind of regret not getting one for myself at the time.

Its just incredible how cleanly those foam knives cut, I cut all the Celotex sheets with a wood saw when insulating my garage, as I didn't know about these knives 😕😕. I bet those Ironside pencil leads are 0.9mm standard and will fit in the Tracer and Pica pencils.

As a Barcelonian (almost, i live next door) i love that place. It's not what it used to be. It had good tools, Wera and Wiha screwdrivers and it was the only place with a Ryobi showroom. You can't find Ryobi anywhere. I can't remember if they do still have Beta tools, but they used to. Also Optimum lathes and Peugeot... Their tools are very good for the price. I think they have Fein still and Bosch professional, also DeWalt. By the way, you only showed floor 1 of the 3, second floor is decoration, plumbing and electricity, and third, garden and storage. There was the only place where you can find ride-on lawnmowers, Briggs and Stratton engines even, not anymore. Sadge. Still the best place to buy tools in Barcelona. I got my Gerber Curve back in 2017, which I still use it today, and they used to have Winchester knives also when I bought it, in the same stand. I remember a big machete 😂

Mora knives are great, you can't go wrong with them. Are a lot of the Zollstocks the same manufacturer? I've got two which are both Adga branded.
