I Found The Weirdest Tools From All Around The World!

[@pieterdobbels1015]

the french tool is a tie wrap tensioner and it cuts off the end too. It is usually used for ventilation 🎉🎉🎉

[@blakeadair3808]

We use them in the states in the HVAC trade to tighten and cut Panduit Straps, or in other words really large 2-3 foot cable ties, great tool!!!

[@Zygion1]

You should come to Czech Republic. We have several high quality tools manufactures such as Narex (hand tools and power tools) , Kinex (measuring tools) and lot more. Almost all WERA tools are made in Czech Republic! :) We have long time history making tools... :)

[@michaeljohnson1625]

I don't know anything about their other tools, but Narex makes fantastic woodworking chisels, at very good prices too.

[@007bondport]

The Panels look great , i really think you should consider selling them made up if you don’t already , what would the cost be for already made one , that way only have to decide which tools to put in and cut , excellent tools need to get the Facom cable tie tool

[@ShadowFoam]

It’s something I have been weighing up for a while, so thanks for the push! 👍

[@chrisheald6897]

Another brilliant and fun video! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow.

[@ShadowFoam]

You too mate! 👍

[@harveysmith100]

Estwing pry bar. I picked it up every year and drooled over it for about ten years at the D&M tool show. Bit the bullet last year and bought one. Really good pry bar. Excellent angles.

[@nathski22]

Opinel for the French!!! Great little knives

[@michaelkrause1338]

sehr ordentlich Alter !!! well done mate !!! love your positivness and energy !!! greetz

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback! 👍

[@davidpuig8415]

Hello Jhonatan, I suggest two brands from northern Spain: Bellota: They are high quality files. My favorite set of mini files. Irimo: They are high quality and very affordable wrenches and ratchets. My favorite six-in-one screwdriver, which greatly facilitates efficiency work. Finally, I explain that in the north of Spain there are bracho manufacturing plants that made palmera brand some years ago. Best regards

[@NickCressman]

You have an unhealthy obsession with those folding rulers 🤣

[@ShadowFoam]

I think you don’t love them enough mate 😅

[@timaschenbrenner3599]

You mean Zollstock they are amazing everyone need a Zollstock

[@volundrfrey896]

Honestly I prefer them over tapes. They're just nicer to use typically.

[@Bangoramazingvids]

You should make a snap on wall panel

[@ShadowFoam]

If I could afford that many snap on tools I would 😅

[@RhinoAg]

Thanks to you I'm going to be spending way too much on shipping getting some of these to the states.

[@ShadowFoam]

Haha sorry mate 😅

[@kittsdiy]

03:47 Facom use to be French indeed .. but it's since 2006 owned by Stanley-Black&Decker .. andy many tools look exacly the same in the stanley version ( like som screw drivers ) The tool is a "colson" ( legrand ) tyrap tensioner & cutter . Looks exacly the same as the Legrand vesion .

[@andyhello23]

Will be great to see you travel to all such places to pick up tools Seeing tools unique to every country would be great

[@ronaldhall1064]

Great tools! Terrific Presentation!

[@Luke_Nuke-em]

Think you need a Zollstock frame next to that dartboard next 😉

[@ShadowFoam]

I completely agree with you mate 👍

[@14rs2]

As a bit of a ‘fun’ video Have you ever thought of doing office desk draws? Think of all the stuff you have in them that could be organised with shadow foam?

[@ShadowFoam]

Not a bad shout that, great idea! 👍

[@andy2950]

​@@ShadowFoamDon't forget the hangover cures and jaffa cakes. 😅

[@Esablaka]

​@@ShadowFoaminserts for IKEA Alex drawers would probably be pretty nice. They gotta be the most manufactured and widespread drawer size ever.

[@MrCarrera28]

Or bathroom or Kitchen? I have my desk drawers, bedside drawers, kitchen drawers and bathroom drawers all laid out neatly in Shadow Foam.

[@Czechbound]

Excellent idea !!!

[@nathski22]

Just found out my bonus from work. Gonna be treating myself to some Lumberjack tools!!!

[@oliverdriscoll8350]

I never knew I had a tool obsession until I started watching your videos!

[@ShadowFoam]

Everyone has a tool obsession here 😅

[@andrewarcher880]

Its a Zip Tie Pliers, Colson also make them, I used them on a French Survey Vessel many years ago.

[@khaleelahmed1097]

Good selection of tools

[@karenalefounder4083]

The Facom tool, is it pipecutter by any chance

[@megafatshady]

diggin the space savin organization and of course video backdrop, very well done

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks Robert, what tool stood out to you?

[@megafatshady]

@@ShadowFoam OOoooo... Now that is a really loaded question as this is one of the BEST tool collections videos of 2024, by a pretty wide margin. I restore tools mostly antiques and lots of the small measuring tools stand out to me a lot. The foldable Shadowfoam is very cool when the Star Wars nerd in me doesn't yell out the working lightsaber.

[@straybaby5835]

This video is so cool. Love all tools

[@matthewrooks462]

Loved the way the set them out

[@johnvickers1981]

Love the new workshop

[@jeffrobinson9810]

Check out the Neji-saurus screw removing pliers, I thought they were a gimmick till I accidently bought some ( strong painkillers and ebay are not good bedfellows folks), they're fantastic. Mind you, Vessel impact screwdrivers are also really good for brake disc/drum screws

[@Roger_Icce]

Engineer comes up with the greatest names for their screw removal pliers, here in the US we have Vampliers.

[@jeffrobinson9810]

@@Roger_Icce noticed them a couple of months ago, wife said go on, treat yourself, sadly the shipping, import duties and taxes were higher than the cost of the tool.. Governments and big conglomerates, worlwide, have a lot to answer for.

[@deankirk1008]

Great vid mate! Where can I buy the little 5m tape measure from please. The yellow one you showed. I couldn’t find the link on your list 👍

[@ScottAlexander-z3s]

Would be great to see you do a panel for woodturning tools 👍

[@robbiejc]

Great quirky tool display. Love the new studio. When is the darts collection getting its own shadow foam? Would love to see that being a fellow dartist. Or even a Shadowfoam dart surround

[@Czechbound]

I'd like a vertical "rollodex" of panels like the 2 vertical ones you have on the wall. Spin it around to find the board you want and then grab the tool. For me, that would be much better than drawers. If it's out of sight, it's out of my mind.

[@timaschenbrenner3599]

Do i have to order an minimum amount to get the cutting set for free?

[@Djjoemi]

You need to come to The Netherlands one day, missing that on your board

[@juffie614]

Yes!

[@mandosdad5436]

awesome mate as always

Thanks again! Which tool stood out to you?

another informative video , love the querky tools and what is the French [ fom ] tool never seen one before👍

[@tattoojavy3640]

Love your videos I'll will like to receive one of your a starter kits your red tool is a strap tensioner plus cutter keep on your great videos

[@craigansell2863]

Is the french tool a wire stripers love these vids and i may not use fome but the video the othe month todo with the cutting kit really helped me out at work as normally my boss changes our scalpel blades but he was off and mine and my colleagues blade had snapped and luckily i remembered that video so big thanks 👍

[@SteifWood]

Every tradesman (I know) has a good & sharp, but inexpensive/replaceable work *knife.* You forgot Mora from Sweden or Øyo from Norway.

[@kpeter02]

only issue with the multi driver from Canada , it did not come with Robertson bits. By the way, Robertson screw drivers were invented in Canada.

[@goncalovazpinto6261]

Saw the Magnum compact tape on your channel and tried to find it for sale in a shop that would ship across Europe. Couldn't find any. I tried to contact the brand several times but they didn't answer any of my emails.... If you know a shop that sells them to mainland Europe, I'd love to know.

[@stes6661]

Play button looks realy good, congratulations again, love the zolstock going to order one when i order my next lot of foam

[@ShadowFoam]

Thank you very much! Appreciate the comment 👍

[@acespark1]

I know you did France but there is a tool company called CATU and they make a Phase tester screwdriver ( testeur de phase pro ) Model MO-65222. I had one of these and it was stolen along with a lot of other tools when I had my van broken into. It is Quirky and practical. The company is now owned by a larger company that also owns Boddington Tools

[@thedoctor3459]

Very nice bro, bravo 👍

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks mate, which tool stood out to you in this video?

[@thedoctor3459]

@@ShadowFoam Everything is good, everything is of high quality, I just envy you because you can afford all these good tools, kudos, but again I have to single out the scalpel that turns the blade, I like it a lot

Hello what a brilliant video can you please tell me the tool name

[@garywheeley5108]

Can you do on a video on cutting huespar laser levels into shadow foam in milwaukee packout boxes because some of the bits are narrow but deep 🤔

[@three-phase562]

The tool from Facom is a cable tie gun for tensioning and cutting the ties. I would like to see a Draper tool wall, they do some unusual tools for automotive work. Plaque looks great in the middle 👍👍

[@FluffyDohBoy]

That pick-up tool is a pretty old tool design. I remember my dad had a couple of them in his garage so he could pick up items that had fallen in inaccessible places, and that was at least 50 years ago.

[@MrTurtlebar]

Nice, have you ever thought of doing office desk drawer organisers?

[@oleskaue3694]

The french tool looks like a cable stripper of sorts ??? But if I’m wrong you’ll let us know right? 🙏🏼 😂 Love my Friday Beer o’clock with Shadowfoam’s tool vids 👍🏼

Your quirky red Facom pliers are for tensioning and cutting plastic cable ties or “zip ties” as our colonial cousins call ‘em. Also called Tie wraps in some circles.

[@VincentOfTheTrades]

The Steelman wrench looks the same as one branded Kobalt (Lowes brand in the states) that I have

The weirdest thing is a German tool but not for DIY but for the breakfast tabel it´s called "Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher" = literally "Eggshell predetermined breaking point causative agent" ..it´s a tool for soft boiled eggs in order to get rid of the cap of the eggshell while the rest of the egg shell keeps intact in order to spoon out the soft boiled egg.
