[@daveboatman4024]

Great stuff, just subscribed to your channel! Thanks

[@Mack_Dingo]

I like how you put the 'Skil' foam in it's place😂

[@davidpollock4703]

First time watching. Great channel. Will binge it now !!

[@Gladius7]

WOW I had no idea there where so many tool brands. Bloody amazing. Subed

[@adamw2307]

Did u see anything to stop tool theft from vans there at the show??

[@mattbland9676]

This is the type of show we need in the UK! I love the diverse mix of national vs independent manufacturing.

[@ranterbul]

In the States, we only have these shows for tradesmen. I think they would be very popular if they opened them up to the public.

[@benbubear8046]

Tough Built might be my new favourite brand, the prices are so affordable for the average tradesman and the quality is unreal! Love it!

[@cerealkiller4248]

I’ve always skimmed past them before when I’ve seen them in B&Q, perhaps they’re worth further consideration. 2/3 years ago I found a Homebase own brand flathead driver, probably about 10mm. I used it for something ( chisel, podger or the like ) at the time to protect my expensive Klein driver. Afterwards I found a vertical slot on the outside of my tool bag and mindlessly put it in. I’m a self confessed tool snob, but damn, that driver is by far my most used tool………………. 😂😂😂

[@wyattskelton5481]

Cool tool finds.

[@pattheplumber100]

2:25 I have this spanner but it is made by crescent tools and you can get a socket adapter for 1/4 " screwdriver bits and 1/4" & 3/8 socket adapter. Did try and upload a Picture( but the app doesn't support it ) and the guy at work gave me the different adapters from another make, oh maybe that was Sata tools

[@lipzc]

Love the idea of the lads from Hammerstroke giving tradesmen a way to realise the ideas they have probably had for years

[@hammerslaget]

thanks! We love it too!

[@EdsETV]

Trade shows in Germany are always amazing. Loved the Sata socket set with the through ratchet design. Just brilliant

[@MrPhil1965]

Hi, I have to say that the margin marker is my favourite tool. It maybe a simple thing, but it is amazing how many people notice the exacting margins I have around my door frames,and this will make my life easier having this, amongst all the other freebies.

[@NiManaut]

The folding ruler is very popular in the nordic countries, in Norway we use it almost exclusively except for longer measurements above 2 meters.

[@AlexKall]

Yeah, he really wanted to promote his tape measure 😂

[@hendrix6]

Meanwhile at the Hultafors booth 23:52

[@oscarlau6353]

Same in Denmark

[@tonybedford3429]

Autoloader looks brilliant, can’t believe that was invented years ago and no big company hasn’t bought into it. Mark seems a very decent bloke tbf

[@mikamurco]

I bought an autoloader from Festool in 2009 and it still works fine. There is a text on the handle "MADE IN CANADA - U.S. AND FOREIGN PATENTS PENDING." I have one for Torx bits and one for Hex bits, very handy. Next time I'd like to go to the Eissenwarenmesser, didn't know it existed ...

[@ookulelewess]

yes, it's been out a while. I've had one like 15 years or so. Everyone loves to "borrow" it and I have to go find it. Bought a second one to hide so I didn't have to waste time finding the first one all the time! hehe... but it is handy, you don't lose the bits, and you can pull them out to swap a different one into the rotation. 8^)

[@MrCarrera28]

Respect for the way your were so friendly and polite even after seeing so many different salesman and not getting snippy or rude despite I suspect getting quite tired.

[@inappropriatelaugh]

My 8 year old and I are now obsessed with these trade show videos. Just some great stuff coming out.

[@quimteaser]

That SATA passthrough looks nice, can't find it on Amazon UK at the moment but will keep an eye out for it in the future

[@michaelwilson3844]

Hi maybe I can help , I like you searched Amazon in comes under a different name , type in Crescent CPTAW8 11 piece3-in-1 X6 Pass -Thru £31.44 they also have a bigger set 25 piece CX6PT25 for ££53.06 hope this helps and for anyone else who is interested.

[@AndrewFrancisFreeman]

I love how the guy selling the 600 euro trowel didn't flinch when you said it was expensive and he just said "Yes" lol

[@ShadowFoam]

😂 wasn;t much I could say to that really

[@benbubear8046]

I can just imagine Dave the bricklayer rocking up on site with his custom engraved £540 Towel, soon lost for ever in the site skip whilst he takes his morning dump in the portaloo

[@zachpangos7159]

Well it’s handmade Japanese, they can ask for however much they want. Doubt they’ll sell many.

[@fraserhardmetal7143]

Oh for the days of a canvas bass .... how did we build and lose an empire without all this stuff ?

[@---l---]

That is another level of 'tool you hand down for generations'

[@johnhanson3000]

It'1s great fun watching someone who really enjoys tools. Not old tools but new and exciting innovative tools. Keep the videos coming and well done.

[@Nermash]

I would have to say that BMI level/tape measure is the most innovative tool IMHO

[@bimble7240]

I got one of these 4 years ago at the Sandown park show. It doesn't get used very often but useful putting up shelves, mirrors and pictures if I don't have a long level to hand.

[@HerselLawson]

I really like the Tough Built line so far. They seem to keep coming up with new ways to make tools more functional at a reasonable price point. Love the Shadow Foam too!!

[@deancrow7359]

It’s great to see trade people’s ideas for innovative solutions like the cork warmer. Would love to see more from the small guy. Dean from New Zealand

[@jamesturner2403]

That little foam chat at 12:48 was really interesting. I was never sure of the differences between your product and everything else, but your explanation was very insightful.

[@ShadowFoam]

Hi James, I am very glad to hear you say that! I don;t usually bring it up in the videos often because I know not everyone is as interested in foam as I am but I am glad it has resonated with you mate!

[@wiggle871]

Same

[@zachpangos7159]

Yeahhhh, kaizen is wayyy better than picknpluck, the former lasts forever when taken care of. Picknpluck rots in the sun and just falls apart.

[@philcaira7703]

Great video, great content ,love the tools​@@ShadowFoam

[@vishaldinesh4762]

@@ShadowFoam brother I'm from India im not able to get hands on any of the tools bro maybe you start to sell them here too if we wanna import the shipping cost is more than the actual product cost..

[@KevinLee-ww3ny]

Love the Skil screwdriver and the and the Sata kit.

[@joshuagraham2163]

I believe Crescent has the wrench with pass through sockets as well

[@Gavin.Smooth]

SATA Tools are a secret gem of the tool world. I do precision machining of arms and tools of the trade for some American agencies and use SATA quite often for assembly. Solid tools. This is the first episode I’ve seen of your show. I like it. A new subscriber and looking forwards to future content.

[@Rrevo]

Thanks so much for a look into the show. I'm always interested in how the smaller innovations get into our hands!

[@Treasuremonk]

Man you make tools cool! So good seeing people happy, friendly and giving things away.. made me smile

[@johnwalkerlrpsbahonsphotog1140]

Its fantastic to see what other countries have to offer. Language barrier does not seem to be a problem in this sector of the market.

[@syn4057]

Sata tools have been around on Amazon in the US, for a while. That type of spline looking socket is made by by many brands, now. I haven’t bought into them yet, but the pass through is get more and more desirable to me. Looking up the Sata crescent wrench. Sometimes it’s nice to travel with only a few tools to get a lot of jobs done. ToughBuilt looks nice. Another tool manufacturer I’ll look up. Still up in the air about the stacking boxes. I carry a canvas tool bag. My drill bit box, 2 cordless, 4 batteries, set of box ends, tape measure, level, bit set boxed, and a standard socket set and ratchet. Covers every thing I need. No one makes a box 5 inches high, it’s all 6+ inches and will not fit under my truck seat. Width and depth on the systems are good, but all are to tall. My canvas bag stuffs under nicely.

[@handsmcneil]

The thing I really liked about the BMI booth is while theyre trying some new stuff.. trying to innovate.. theyre also doing traditional things which I think is cool. And while not every idea is a good idea you still learn something.

[@ShadowFoam]

I agree, i like the mix of innovation and tradition, you get the best tools that way!

[@johnm.withersiv4352]

Quirky Tools: I recently bought a vintage push screw driver. It's basically a manual power screw driver that does not spark. I was excited about it. As soon as it came in my 12 year old daughter snagged it for her own tool box. Now I need to find another vintage one.

[@MarcoParlanti]

Sata tool and the toughbuilt scraper were absolutely my favourites

[@ruthmcdonald6547]

I love a tool and given our current project of converting our van to a camper I’ve just seen at least three we’d benefit from!! The Canadian screwdriver is genius!

[@callumfishercom]

as someone just starting out getting a arsenal of tools together i really enjoyed seeing all these tools!

[@LiveMusicTech]

Really appreciate your honest and down to earth approach in these videos and first impressions. Keep up the good work! I’m also heading to my first tool fair in Exeter later this month and I’m keen to know if there are any particularly interesting or quirky tools to keep an eye out for. Any suggestions?

[@TheCowPastureGarage]

It's 11:00 pm (in Australia) and I've discovered this channel. What a tool fair! Some obscure brands I've never heard of that are really the best of the best tools. Tomorrow's going to be a long day watching your videos.

[@michaelgrossmann8395]

Great episode. SO good seeing products from brands I wouldn't normally run across

[@ShadowFoam]

Which tool stood out to you?

[@justinlepp9613]

That show looked like heaven we need more like this in the uk and on this scale

[@jcslaw01]

The OX foldable ruler design, was originally made of wood and brass and was the British joiners standard ruler before the tape measure and was a very versatile measuring rule.

[@adude7050]

I have used that Autoloading screw driver for years. It is a great piece of kit. I caught my first one from Canadian Tire they are now sold through Lee Valley.

[@MP-cb7zk]

Hello there, the tool that interests me the most from this segment would have to be the SATA Universal Driver set, especially the fact that they have the pass through feature on the sockets. Pass through sockets are non-existent in the part of the world where I'm currently working. Super innovative set and well thought through design. Great segment, I really enjoyed learning about the various innovations from the trade show. Thank you

[@Bawdsey64]

I was selling the Autoloader probably 12 maybe 15 years ago, they were supplied by Festool when I was a Festool reseller here in the UK. A great product, they are so good that my daughter and my wife each have their own one in their tool kits. Remember the ladies in your life need a tool kit! Trade shows like the one in Germany are hard work, yes they can be enjoyable. The hardest show I ever did, working the booth and also going around the halls was the AAW Show in Atlanta Georgia in 2010, which was a four-day show. With the big shows you need at least two days to go around and then a third day to revisit the important booths if you need to tie down business. For me, the SATA wrench with socket set made a lot of sense but my daughter would go for the Lego set.😊

[@Treasuremonk]

I also have an addiction with storage boxes, bags, foam, glad I’m not the only one!☝🏻

[@Val11Freya]

Never realised how much I’d enjoy watching someone go around a tool show

[@chrisperry7963]

That Sata ratchet is pretty nifty. A great tour and rundown, lots of fun stuff!

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Chris! 👌

[@simonking6983]

Love the blade sharpener. Having all the differing angles self contained is awesome!

[@ookulelewess]

I wonder if it has a chart inside or inside the lid/flap that indicates what things might have what angles.. or do you just line the edge up with each and find a match? Nice to have choices to get the proper angle!

[@Awesom3Adam]

Honestly really cool to understand that a lot of these stack able tool chests are all made from the same company but branded different, but love the look at the pro-click, need to check these out!

[@pauldowie1399]

I discovered Bacho tools quite by chance a few years ago and they're really awesome. I bought the standard socket set and while it doesn't get a huge amount of use, it looks and works like new after about 5 years.

[@tomjohns8498]

Next year you could have a shadow foam road trip and get supports in show reviews, Being a successful company adding unique useful tools sounds a match in heaven 😀 😊

[@ShadowFoam]

It’s definitely something I want to do more of! 👍

[@alexanderballantyne4000]

Bought my first Toughbuilt tool earlier this week, it won’t be the last as the quality and innovation is exceptional. 💎

Enjoyed the focus on the innovative/different/quirky and the review summary looking at 10 products.

[@AG-cg7lk]

That BMI guy definitely knew what BMI stands for. All bought and paid for.

[@RhysTallentire-kj4rc]

Great video! Love the Lego pliers. I’ve always thought tapes could be smaller, good to see someone has eventually sorted it.

[@Ecdtheow82]

Loved the Getta tools screwdriver and Mark seemed like a really decent chap.

[@ErmIDK19]

That Stanley knife/scraper is the greatest invention I've ever seen ! . That would be so handy in my line of work .

[@ShadowFoam]

Definitely a top tool pickup!

[@AG-cg7lk]

Passthrough sockets are such a good and simple idea. All sockets and ratchets should be designed that way. No more issues with sockets that are too short.

[@-Nobody-1]

Pass throughs are less practical in reality though. Difficult to extend, bulkier and cumbersome, and limited socket choice. They really aren’t as great at they seem when out into practical applications.

[@vadimr4866]

It's always fun noticing metric tape measures when viewing this from the other side of the pond.

[@anthonyfoster3605]

just discovered your site and I'm blown away with what you are showing us.

[@cubluke]

I've been building my home toolkit for a while now and I really like the look of the Sata multi tool and that Canadian multi-bit screwdriver. I'll be hunting them down!

[@djohnson9857]

Pico do an excellent tape measure with a window on the top and a hole at the hook. You fold out a little pin on the base, put a pencil in the hole, pull the tape until the desired length is displayed in the window, and then you can spin a perfect radius. I use it much more than I thought i would.

[@dreckers1966]

love the show , need to go next year

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Do like a good tool fair or trade show ! Always good to see new innovations !

[@steadicamant]

Watching these videos is basically a gateway drug for buying more tools. Just ordered the SATA spanner. I have used shadow foam on loads of my tools. Hopefully they do kits for Peli cases in the near future.

[@robz1878]

Where did you order from? I'm struggling to find it.

[@steadicamant]

Amazon

[@steadicamant]

Also lidl or aldi did the same tool rebadged as there own for £20 so I bought a second one. Exact same tool not a clone.

[@GaryRobinson-pe6fu]

Great information given on your product and on different tools that can be purchased.

[@MaltandMake]

Great video but I'm also impressed at just how informative the comments section is! Great job creating a such a cool community and hope we can catch up again at Makers Central!

[@peterkerr3496]

Thankyou for the down to earth way of your presentations. The honest reviews. You I can trust, with your advise, and amazing foam. The tool that took my heart was definitely the Canadian built instant screwdriver bit swap unit. That would definitely find a way into my toolbox, along with the Skil electric screwdriver. Keep up the excellent work.

[@stevenwilson4614]

Keep up the good work Jonathan. Have been using foam inset tool boxes with the military for years. Just trying to set up my own collection and you keep providing too many options and tools i would like to

[@antesdedormirmanu6789]

I got the 3rd one and is a joy to use it... Sata made some very good professional tools in an affordable price...

[@JonnyGearjammer]

I clicked the link & there was an option for the same driver in a plastic branded case with a 45 piece bit set for £42.77. Its been to Plymouth, Michigan & Cheektowaga, NY but is now safely in Doncaster & is a handy thing.

[@joeking4206]

This was presented to me by “the algorithm” and I found it fascinating. I’ve been an aircraft engineer and car/motorbike tinkerer for many years and I do like a nice tool (Missus!). I had no idea just how big an industry it is. I’m aware of quite a few brands but nothing like the amount at that Cologne show. Nice one.

[@bloodreport146]

great collection of innovative tools... thank you

this is a very good video respect for the people that have the skill for this.

[@Jay-Croome]

I love the idea of the SATA pass through wrench, its simply amazing.

[@emeltea33]

I agree, that's why I bought the Crescent branded set about 5 years ago (they're called X6).

[@csbaero]

i had Toughbuilt back in the days when they are just making those belt tool pouches. I didn't recognize the brand when toolboxes was released here in HKG. Very good design but it cost an arm and a leg. Still I believe it's worth it!

[@JohnField-xh1xu]

Just bought that socket set, love it. Would never have known I’m about it until I saw it in this. Thanks

[@mikebrfc8868]

The sata kit is cool, looks like it has a place in a small effective tool kit. Love the tough built stuff too, I didn’t realise b&q stocked it

Definitely need to get my hands on that skil twist driver. Looks really good for those jobs you really shouldn't grab the drill for.

[@stephenlipton525]

Loved most of the top 10. But if I had a choice the Lego pliers to give to my grandson would be great. He loves getting out to the shed and helping grandad. I hope he keeps his enjoyment of working with his hands as he grows up.
