I just wanted to say how big a fan I am of the channel. I’ve been fighting colon cancer for the last 10 months. During that time I’ve watched a ton of your videos. I acquired a bunch of tools from various deals of the day, so now I need a bunch of ShadowFoam for my Dewalt Tough System 2 boxes. Just wanted you to know that I found your show very comforting and therapeutic through all the chemo, radiation, and surgery.

[@mrjellow]

I wish you the best. I hope health will find you again.

[@stephencave187]

@jpy74 Sending strength and best wishes your way pal 💪🏻

[@ShadowFoam]

Thank you so much for the comment mate, genuinely touched to think I helped you in anyway. I am sorry to hear about your struggle with cancer, I can’t begin to understand the struggle you have had these past 10 months but hope you get well soon. ❤ Kick cancers butt brother 💪

[@valcomllc7840]

Best of luck in your battle!

[@RenewRestorations]

Same thing here, was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in June of last year. Found this channel and watched a lot of the videos. Keep pushing brother, and #fuckcancer

[@barrymelody4477]

Big wipes, is my choice. After just doing a load of thermal boards in my garage I filled all the gaps with expanding foam. And yes it was everywhere. Just shown the misses them as well!! She's always getting paint on her hands and arms when doing painting and spraying the outside furniture. Keep the tool fairs going I'm seeing some amazing stuff 👍👍

[@gjw1971]

Some amazing stuff there. The Big Wipes demo was particularly impressive.

[@HelloAll8031]

The wipes are a must-buy.............

[@JayPearson-dp8oj]

From the US and love your visits to tool fairs to see brands not apparent here. Keep up the great work and high energy.

[@hnnhgaming]

Impressed with the quality of that Bosch set, like you said you can tell it's not a generic rebadge . Glad to see how generous all the brands were with the free swag they gave you ! Really enjoy these tool fair videos .

[@stro241]

Great video as always. I've had the drill bits for about 4yrs now and they are great. Fantastic generosity from the stands at the show. I'll keep my fingers crossed 🤞

[@jonmarsden1366]

Please can you give me the name of the company?

[@cedarstuff]

Another cracking trade show video. Easily the best swag you've blagged so far! Wish we saw more of these tools for sale to public customers.

[@litoyguy]

Those wipes were super impressive. Thanks for sharing.

[@jimmuendo]

It’s nice to see such a big turnout of brands, stands & punters, at a UK show. Some awesome demos too! 👍🏼

[@ShadowFoam]

Absolutely, I’d say we saw more brands here than in London!

[@justinlepp9613]

Will this toolfair be in the midlands anytime soon

[@BruceRichardson-vb7ki]

The big wipes demo was amazing. Thanks for showing.

[@adamsnape6869]

Hiya, I'm currently setting up my own company, which is installing security products to commercial vehicles. I've been a mechanic since birth really, and always been a tool geek due to that. I started following you as I will be putting your foam in my van for a number of reasons, but one reason is I like you as a professional, and you sell your product amazingly. Just watched this post, and have never been to a tool fair, but will certainly be at the next one. My choice of your top 5 would have to be the drill bits, which I will be buying very soon. Thank you again for what you do, and I dont think you will have seen what I'm going to do with your product in my van, so I will send some pictures when completed if you want to see. Thanks yet again, and all the best for the future.

[@malcolmbennett530]

The Cobalt drills are amazing, I also love those wipes I'm like you I use Swarfega, keep the shows going these freebies are brilliant.

[@swe_nurse8121]

Those wipes seem pretty impressive! Would love to see a demo (maybe a foam project?)!

[@m2dat791]

I use them red lid heavy dutys. Brilliant, don't waste you time with the others there like baby wipes

[@gym1989able]

Caught one video this morning. Now I'm binge watching while making lists of tools I "need". I had no idea a tool fair was a thing.

[@TSM-908]

Great video - I purchased a tub of the Big Wipes. I use to swear by the old green swarfega, but I find at 68 this does not work as well as the stuff I use to use when I was a youngster. Thanks for the info. I also loved the drill bits and the Wago connectors ( I never knew they existed. ). I now one of you regular thumbs up brigade. 😉😎👍👍

[@jensnielsen8807]

Nice tool fair. Those wipes are sick! I would love to test the wipes and the markers✏️

[@thecraftylarder6943]

Love those wipes, great for all sorts of household and hobby stuff too!

[@TheLakesUk]

Thanks KZbin for recommending this video, i’ve seen stuff i never knew i needed. Use many of the brands you visited, but never looked deeper at more of the stuff they make beyond spanners and pliers.

[@robbietaylor7202]

Ive said it before, and i will say it again now. You really are such a nice guy! You make everyone you encounter feel like they have made a mark on your day! Its an amazing skill to have in your locker. Another great video from you and the Guys.

Them drills are insane! Really enjoying the videos recently. We kitted out all our drawers at work with your foam and it's holding up a treat. Really happy with it.

[@ShadowFoam]

I'd love to see some pictures of those drawers! 👀

[@phillwildman]

That is absolutely SWAGTASTIC. 😎 the BIG WIPES demo amazed me

[@douglasmiles1215]

Always interested in what your bringing to your videos. What you guys do different and how different your tools can be across the pond. I've gotten so many helpful ideas from you on using foam. Thanks for all you do for us folks out here in the tubaverse.

[@belly7897]

It’s the drill bits and the wipes for me. One set of bits to drill so many different materials is a great space and time saver. If the wipes actually work that good I don’t think there would be anything better. Thanks for sharing.

[@dsmclaughlin12]

Who makes the drill bits?

[@Whigu]

@@dsmclaughlin12 It says "Cobalt" big letter behind him so probably Cobalt.

[@christeece-millington1641]

Those wipers look amazing clean hands at last.

[@TechModProjects]

Loving the energy and genuine interest you bring to these tool showcases and demonstrations. Cool to see what's upcoming and you know what, those drill bits that go through pretty much anything, £50... Pretty good deal of you ask me.

[@paulambridge5685]

Really impressive set of tools. I really likes the Drill bits, the pens and the wipes. They all seem like universally useful things you would use daily. But great purchases and great swagging..

[@anthonyrobinson8869]

There is something so satisfying about these videos. Can't explain what, they just are

[@m.t.v.7934]

I would LOVE to go to a tool show, we do not have many near me. Until I can get a chance to go I will have to enjoy watching you visit them. Thanks for sharing. If those "Big-Wipes" work as good as they did at the show, they would be a game changer. I need to buy some asap

[@pvj999]

I like your presentation style, it’s great that you are exposing us to new products whilst demonstrating yours.

[@jeeptrucklover72]

I just found your video on the tool fairs in the UK and I’m definitely impressed with your presentation of the tools and other items. It seems that you have fun at these events and that’s the idea. Keep up the good work!

[@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast]

It was good to see a real person using those drill bits! Half the internet says they are great, the other half says they are crap. I will look at them when I need new bits.

[@NashBen]

I like to believe there is a reason why there are different bits with different designs/construction and steels so you get the best result. Every awesome "all in one" drill bit so far was worse in each category than a specific specialized drill bit. Maybe these will do better, maybe they won't last as long. There's just trying out. Have fun with those!

[@pezpen]

Can't seem to find that drill company :-(

[@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast]

@@pezpen They are called Does it all drill bits in Australia, and Bad Dog drill bits in USA. They were previously called Artu drill bits. I know there are copies of every product out there, but they all seem to be in the same cases, so I think they are all the same product.

[@WoodyMotorcycleEnthusiast]

@@NashBen,I agree with you, which was why I was so surprised to see him use them so easily. I have been watching infomercials of these for years thinking it can't be true.

[@yrrek1983]

@@pezpen Exactly, that was the worst advertising I've ever seen. They had a booth without their brand, and they never mentioned it.

[@kevinpreston1454]

Have become a big fan of the channel, and after collecting boxes and cases of power and hand tools over the years I’ve now rationalised everything, awesome product expertly demonstrated by your good self. Bolton tool fair looked amazing.

[@ShadowFoam]

Cool, thanks, what boxes and tools do you have?

[@PaulL-ox8sg]

If I could buy anything at a trade show it would be your enthusiasm, it’s infectious! Keep it up.

[@guylandymore]

The big wipes are just fantastic - what a show!!

[@valaofthehunt]

I think the more I watch your channel the more I expand my tool set, and my wishlist for more tools! Great channel mate, looking forward to seeing more

[@DTindell-eb6ui]

Excellent video as usual. I love seeing someone get as excited about tools as I do, especially the quirky ones like the Bosch spanners. Looking forward to the next one to see what interesting tools you can find next.

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment! 👍

[@easyyards3154]

Discovered your channel recently, compulsive viewing. Love the enthusiasm. I’m really interested in tool buckets. The ability to place a tool storage apron in the bucket and fill essentially the outer shell of the bucket with tools, whilst keeping the bucket itself free for, drills, impact drivers, screws, silicone and other assorted tools seems really handy, ergonomic and time saving to me. Especially as I always seem to end up with more tools at the end of the job that need carrying out. However I can’t really find anything in the UK that will do the job. It seems to be bigger in the U.S. Do you have any ideas as an expert in tool storage and organisation? Would love your thoughts.

[@Uninflected_]

Great selection we have here! Thank you for all your work!

[@SP-bl7lz]

I've been an artline user and love them, no more frustrating than writing on a cable that's not clear. Like the multi pack. Wipes were great, especially for silcone and what comes off stays off brilliant. Cobalt drills are worth having as a backup for emergency to get me out of an expected sticky job when I don't want to carry the shed around.

[@TheRikSmith]

Fabulous video. Really good explanation of the Shadow Foam make up and how to get great results when cutting in your tools. Thanks 👍

[@92DanJ]

those drill bits look mint. Very good to keep in an everyday toolbag. Big wipes demo was very impressive!

[@MyMKIV]

Wow the kindness of the people at the trade shows! Bundles are awsome this time round, markers are cool! be looking into them 😎

[@michaelmortensgaard9228]

I love the wipes and the nice tools form Hultafors, the caps from bosch are cool too... but my favorite thing is watching you cut foam for your tool it's so satisfying 😍

[@keithhayward9095]

Great video - such a friendly bunch of people at the show. The shadow foam section at the end has got me itching to get my tools organised!

[@jaykelly7541]

Great video as always. l've had the drill bits for about 2yrs now and they are great. Fantastic generosity from the stands at the show. I'll keep my fingers crossed🤞🤞🤞

Great video! The fair looked like tool heaven!!! Those Big Wipes look awesome and very handy when you're in a jam

[@robinlindholm410]

Wow, Hultafors Knive and Big Wipes!! So amazing, plus everything else on the show was fabulous!

[@curranhouse]

Yet another great video! It's good to see not only new products but the wealth of Knowledge out there! Thanks 👍🏼💪🏼😁 tool I loved? The Milwaukee pack out - super useful and that hultafor mineral saw 👍🏼👍🏼

[@galacticmonkey21]

The big wipes are great, but those markers are super cool! Also, those joker spanners are very interesting, love me some Wera stuff. Also, the idea of a Wago Pick'n'Mix is awesome. Great video, keep the show tours coming!

[@seanlyons1504]

Since I found your videos while back, I have gone down a rabbit hole in my own shed. Roll toolbox is not getting foam inserts and making everything more visible and accessible. No more rooting through drawers full of tools to find one. Keep up the great vids and show visits. 🤘👍

[@MikeCarter]

Great to see those drill bits in real world testing. And the big wipes demo was an eye opener. I’ve got some but didn’t realise what they were capable of!

[@ShadowFoam]

What have you been using them for?

[@bigfil1981]

Great video as always. Inspiring how generous the agents where.

[@user-mz7cg5wl7x]

I’m coming back to the UK for a few weeks from NZ. Delighted to see you have some Hultafors gear and I’d love to bring some back and be the envy of my tradie mates!

[@fatblokes_ferguson]

The pens are a must for all tool boxes, as a general mechanic I normally go for the sharpie to find there dry so I end up using different coloured electrical tape, the ruler is brilliant and I have 1 that came from my grandfather which is just a talking point because I don’t want to break it as it’s about 70 years old, I don’t have the skills to foam out my toolbox’s just because I have tool many tools that have their own special needs. I use hand wipes because I’m a mechanic in a van, the mess on the steering wheel gets clean when I can but I like to make sure the customers car/vans are clean when I’m done. I have most of the tools and they are old but because I get quality I have most, I would definitely get the wipes. Watching you make the foam insert looks a lot better than my past attempts. But as you said you use specific foam. Great job

[@chrisheald6897]

Yet another great video, its quite amazing what you manage to fit in the foam in the smaller spaces.

[@davehughes332]

Artline looked so good will have to get some of that. Love your enthusiasm for all the products and your honesty.

[@Maker355]

Love the fact you take time out to chat to people and do give away, we walked past you at maker central and bee lined for your stand 👍 keep up the good work

[@MarceColucci]

Amazing set of goodies. I love the Wera tools but I can only buy them a bit at a time as they are pricey. The Big Wipes are my favourite. In our aircraft building business they would be invaluable.

[@ericquick4266]

The Big Wipes were very impressive, like you my main go to is Swarfega. I also like the Bosch Professional Starter Tool Kit.

[@stes6661]

Another great video, I would definitely make use of the markers, Wera spanners, and the Brucey bonus Big Wipes!

[@johnwalkerlrpsbahonsphotog1140]

As a gadget geek your videos are amazing. I think that this UK one showed me so much that is available even down to markers useful to the trade. The demonstrations are one of the best parts actuality, giving the viewer a chance to see the item in use. Plus you cover such a wide range of items and deal with the staff in such a relaxed manner. Keep up the good work.
