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!!!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@michaelkrause1338]

I completely agree with you mate 👍

Opinel for the French!!! Great little knives

[@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... :)

[@ShadowFoam]

You too mate! 👍

[@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

[@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.

[@Czechbound]

Excellent idea !!!

[@matthewrooks462]

[@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.

[@Djjoemi]

[@firehorse74]

Fantastic !!!

[@ronaldhall1064]

Great tools! Terrific Presentation!

[@enjaymarine]

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.

[@emilyhudson198]

You should get one of those scratch off world maps and then work your way around the world!!! 👍

[@ShadowFoam]

I’d love that, which country should I go to first?

[@JayVeeDoubleYou]

Orange Tool - Cable Tie tensioner and cutter

[@chronicgaming3280]

Looks amazing! I look forward to seeing more intresting tool videos, still love the Hacksmith saber 😁 Keep up the great content 😃👍

[@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 👍👍

[@mandosdad5436]

awesome mate as always

[@ShadowFoam]

Thanks again! Which tool stood out to you?

[@andrewarcher880]

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

[@xtremeplasma]

Hi Got the range of shaviv deburring tools at the show tomorrow looking forward to meeting you

[@rubensintes1]

From Spain you got tool brands like Bellota, Palmera, Urko...

[@neil_bird]

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 👍🏼

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@oleskaue3694]

Wow fantastic 👍😊

[@ShadowFoam]

Thank you very much! Appreciate the comment 👍

[@chrispcream1]

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

[@camwinstone]

Loving your vids. Would be good to see some Fiskars tools from Finland, established 375 years ago.

[@ShadowFoam]

I’ll look into adding some to my collection 👍

[@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.

[@12345anton6789]

Bahco is owned by Snap-on, so that snap-on adjustable wrench are probably made by bahco and rebranded Snap-on

[@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.

[@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 .

[@daverdaceng]

Brilliant collection - love it ❤- you've missed out Switzerland though 😢

[@ShadowFoam]

I’ll rectify that soon enough, reccomend and Swiss tools or tool shops?

[@daverdaceng]

Apart from the diy shops like OBI, Hornbach, Jumbo etc. - Hasler, Briner (tool merchants) - Brands like PB Swiss (obvs) but also Technocraft, Kraftwerk (not the techno-pop band!) 😂

[@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 👍

[@sprinklesontopps2197]

love the channel!

[@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.

[@btcharlee9727]

Check out Vessel from Japan, especially their ball grip electric screwdriver. They also did a colab with Wera and have Japanese style screwdrivers with a ball grip.

[@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! 👍

[@sizzleneck]

I walk around Lowe's an Home Depot a lot and end up with clearance tools that are they are practically giving away, I can't pass them up even if I might not need them. Maybe I should display them like you 👍🏼

[@ShadowFoam]

That sounds like a great idea! Any hidden gems?

[@sizzleneck]

@@ShadowFoam I got at Lowe’s 2 days ago Craftsmen Versa Stack 11 piece 3/8 ratchet and metric socket set for $10.50 normally $25.98 missed marked but Lowe’s honored the price and a Klein 11 in 1 plus another flip socket impact shaft for $8.72 in clearance normally $34.98, I normally don't buy the new Craftsman stuff but at that price, and the ratchet is surprisingly pretty nice 👍🏼

[@VincentOfTheTrades]

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

[@michaelgrabner8977]

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.

Those Magnum pliers are a terrible copy of the self-adjusting Knipex Cobras (85 01 250 for example). Do yourself a favor and get those instead. With these Magnums you trade one fiddling with the other. The Cobras are fully automatic and don't needs to be PRIED OPEN. What kind of dum-dum even designs something like this?! Norwegian tools: haven't seen anything impressive other than the Viking Arm. That one is top notch craftsmanship and a really handy lifting tool. I use regularly to oil door hinges and such. I don't really understand the magnet and stainless steel. SS has to have 21%+ Chromium to be considered SS. It has small amounts of this and that, but the most part is still iron so it should be quite magnetic. I'm not really a fan adjustable wrenches, but that Speedjaw looks interesting. It'd def. deserve a 60 second short where it's properly demo'd.
