TOOLBOX TOUR - 50,000 Subs Special!

Here's my long awaited toolbox tour! This is my general purpose toolbox and doesn't include my sharps (chisels, planes etc.) - I always carry those separately as they'd get trashed in my main toolbox. The tools I carry around from day to day have evolved over almost 30 years so there's not many tools I either haven't already had in my toolbox and they've been demoted or stuff that I desperately need. Always happy to hear your suggestions though!

[@adude7050]

A length of flat chain you can feed through troubled areas with it better then string and a weight sometimes.

[@mandyleeson1]

It's amazing how going through someone else's tool box is so enthralling. Some great tips once more. Thanks Andy and CONGRATULATIONS! Hope there are many more to come.

[@LostWhits]

I get my kids to sort the accumulated screws and bits and bobs. They actually enjoy doing it now.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you! 👍👊

[@parchy2008]

Congratulations on 50K brother, you are providing a service that clearly many more people than just me really value. Keep up the great work my my friend👍

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you!! 👍👊

[@peterlarkin9401]

Made my heart sing to see someone else keep a butter knife close.

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

yeah, cause you can never have too much butter on a late morning biscuit...lol

[@rogermartin9481]

50K! Well done, I think it must be all those technical terms you use like ‘sidey-ways right-angle’, ‘top flappy bit’ and ‘lifty-out tray section’ that keeps us coming back for more. We Australians always like to have our poor English improved watching content from ‘mother-England’.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Lol, well Geordie is the mother tongue. Cheers dude! 😂👊👍

[@R333yhn]

Love it mate just the video I wanted to see I’ve got loads of bits just been collecting over the years don’t know what half of them are, very productive video really appreciated

[@bbwolf9925]

I'm about to watch your Toolbox Tour (actually I shall await my 8yo's return from school so he can also watch). Lockdown has brought KZbin to the fore in our house in a huge way: I have started and virtually finished the 2440 x 1220 - 18mm folding model railway baseboard which I promised my son at the end of 2019. That took a nice chunk of COVID time and we passed inactive time watching woodworking videos, including yours. I spent half my working life as a plumber (and heating engineer and handyman and site manager and general builder) having finished training in 1981 and wandered in and out of various careers but I always retained my love of woodwork and renovated the inside of all my homes. I've retired now, Lockdown was the last straw in the fight to do anything useful anywhere for anyone, so once again I'm concentrating on literal home improvement. So when we sat and watched your screwbox saga my son almost jumped off the sofa when he saw your Screwfix red box with the 0500 phone number: "He has your screwbox!" he screamed and it was the first one I've seen of that age other than mine. Imagine my surprise and his when you listed the most used screws you carry and it was 90% the same as my red box, I've really moved to the Goldscrew Plus range recently, in which I carry my most used screws and plugs as I have for more than twenty years. Much of what you said and showed was remarkably similar to my tools, fixings and methods and Junior Maker was highly excited throughout. The crowning moment was at the end when you announced an upcoming toolbox tour and displayed an identical toolbox to mine (I have four of those each loaded for a specific trade: Water; Gas; Electrical & Wood) - he nearly passed out. We enjoy your videos and I like the way you present the truth about materials, costs, safety and ingenuity, do keep trying. Sorry about the short story long. BTW I trained properly for the trade and I've tried to expand my knowledge and skillset since then but try as I might, when it comes to hanging plaster, I am hopeless.

[@philipallen8648]

Great video. Some additions in my tools box - earplugs, a test cable with clips, plumbers PTFE and electrical insulation tape, a box with a simple vernier calliper in it. Must be an ology of some kind that studies toolbox contents and can define our characters.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Defo! A bit like the apps people have on their phones too! 👊😆👍

[@garywood79]

I could watch videos like this all day! Congratulations on the 50k subs Andy. You’ve taught DIYers like me more than you’ll ever know 👍

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you and no worries! 👍👊

[@frogmann49]

Glad to be one of the 50,000. You look well covered in tool box to me. My problem is, no matter what tool I haven't used for years and opt to leave out, I usually need on the next job. Don't understand why craftsmen don't use mechanical pencils. .7 or .5 mm available. Electric sharpener takes up lots of space. Keep them coming. Appreciate you sharing with us.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Ha cheers! I do have propelling pencils in the workshop but I always seem to revert back to normal pencils. I might make a vid about that. 😂👍

[@gwenscoble6229]

@@GosforthHandyman Stanley knife whittling pencils does instead of toffees for contemplation time, oops where are the elastoplast.

[@kerryfoster1]

I recently bought 2 sets of hex keys. Metric and imperial in plastic holders sizes marked. Quick easy and FLAT. Great!

[@NomadMakes]

Congratulations on reaching the 50k milestone! I hope you find it motivating. Good luck on your journey to 100k. Cheers.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you! 👍👊😀

[@mihamaker]

Congrats on 50Ksubs mate! We had that type of toolbox for years in the last firm. It is Stanley 26" , in my experience bestbuy. Good price for what you are getting. We can go chasing that down the road with all sorts of pvc tool boxes :-). Each trade favors some kind of specialty toolbox, this one was a multitrade for me. That long pocket on the top was originally intended for the spirit level. I used it for smaller tools that are more frequently used. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Croatia!

[@frankblack1481]

Congratulations on the 50k! Well-deserved, too... you can see how much effort is put into each video. To your toolbox I’d add: 1) A small ratchet/bit set. Mr Millard has a Wera one, but I have a Facom Pico R1 one and it’s staggering how often I use it. So useful, in fact, the high price is long forgotten and I’d shell out for another in a heartbeat if I had to. You don’t really need a set... the ratchet alone is all.. just like the blue-point one Mr Millard has. The Facom has a few tricks the Wera doesn’t, so I really like it for that. 2) Replace all the hex keys w a decent Bondhus or Wera Hex-Plus set. The latter is good for getting out hex bolts that’ve been abused. 3) Screw pliers. Sorry I don’t know who makes it, but I have this cheap-looking longnose pliers that has the tip serrations running lengthwise instead of crossways. Designed to grip screw heads where the screwdriver recess is fecked. It’s not Knipex. 4) Wera Laser-tip screwdriver. Seriously... I *hate* Wera handles but the laser-tip drivers are unreal. I live in the US where the god-forsaken Phillips is king. They are horrid. Torx is starting to take over tho.

[@GosforthHandyman]

I keep my ratchet driver and bits in my drill box. Philips needs to just disappear - Pozi and Torx are good though. Cheers Frank! 👍👊

[@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse]

Great tour of your tool box. That stanley box was the first I ever owned. I used to keep a level in that top section. I like the bit about the butter knife too. I reckon every tool box has a similar personal tool in it- mine is a tent peg. 😁

[@philenglish3931]

Proud to be one of the 50k. Congratulations on a milestone well deserved and long overdue. Not that I'm spending twelve quid on a mug with dodgy printing and a sharpie signature. Oh, wait. Limited edition? Only 6? Now I'm climbing over my grandma to get one.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Ha ha - thank you Phil! 👍👊😂

[@martinmackett2758]

It made me smile when you tipped out the tool box, as I have a couple of boxes that get in that state. I also have 1 of those boxes, and I also have one of those little plastic spanners?? can't remember what it's from. ONE item I do carry in my go to box is a couple of those push on stop ends in 15 and 22 mm just in case. Thanks for another real life video!!!

[@EquinoxPublicAddress]

Congratulations on reaching 50k! I spotted the paracetamol in the wood under the bench and wanted to shout to you when you couldn’t spot them moments later! I have a Boa Constrictor rubber spanner thing that has rescued so many problems. My top tip though would be to use pencil cases to separate things a bit. It’s so handy to grab the red pencil case for spanners and the green one for hex keys for example.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Yeah, I found them about 2 weeks later 😂 Really good idea with the pencil cases! 👊👍

[@animationcreations42]

I think you need to get an imperial only tape measure, to go with that Phillips screw driver! I would suggest having a couple plasters and a tube of Savlon (or Germoline if you swing that way) in the tool box, I've lost count of how many times I've injured myself trying to get things out of the tool box, never mind actually doing work!

[@GosforthHandyman]

I do sometimes have a couple of plasters in the top bit but they've vanished too. 😂👍

[@hansdegroot8549]

You have an amazing amount of tools in your toolbox, now again nicely organized (til you start your next job on site) What are the outside dimensions of your toolbox? And how much does it weigh, fully equipped?

[@christofix]

Congratulations on you 50K. Great video man! You got a lot of tools in there!

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you! That's just the ones I use regularly! 😀👊

[@richardstewart6900]

Congrats on the 50k! My DIY toolbox is like a sawn-off version of yours - a smaller Stanley with many of the same contents. A heads-up word of warning though. Be careful when lifting, especially in awkward places or positions! Just before Xmas I had to get mine out from under a worktop in a corner. Halfway through the lift "something" pinged in my right shoulder. OK, soft tissue injury so take it easy for a few weeks. Except around Easter I had to shift a few boxes around. Somehow doing that overloaded the joint and next morning I couldn't move my right elbow more than an inch in any direction. Doc says rotator cuff injury. Three months on from that and multiple trips to the Physio later, it's still not fully sorted and is probably going to take a while longer before it's fully recovered. Dem tings is HEAVY! Be careful: think before lifting it!

[@GosforthHandyman]

Cheers Richard! That sounds nasty - hope you're OK! 👍👊

[@richardstewart6900]

@@GosforthHandyman It was an awkward full-reach lift. Thought I was being careful but obviously not careful enough. It stopped me driving or doing much of anything for a few days and there's still stuff that's difficult or no-go to do or reach. The main reason for posting it was to flag it up for others to just watch out when lifting, especially when it's heavy or awkward ... or the years are starting to add up!

[@Harani66]

That "scraper with a funny shaped end" is a glaziers putty knife :-) congrats on 50K dude !

[@GosforthHandyman]

Cheers Glen - enjoy the States! 👍👊😀

[@joychip5994]

I bought a screw driver one with the screw holder on the other day honestly , I was looking for a thin end screwdriver it cost me £7 from an antique center now I know it was for holding screws thanks 😀it was a Stanley 100 plus made in the USA

[@GosforthHandyman]

Fantastic! 👍👊

[@philmaples9865]

The butter knife idea is amazeballs! I'm gonna add it right now! One suggestion for the box; wood glue.

[@williba24]

I have 3 tool boxes the same as yours, the "Flappy bit".. when newly bought would have held a spirit level

[@GosforthHandyman]

So I heard - never knew that! 😀👍

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Your toolbox needs a Bahco carbide edged scraper Andy, the little one with the triangular head. Brilliant tool that you’ll use on every job once you’ve bought it 😀

[@twicebittenthasme5545]

I usually have to clean my tool boxes about every three months. Between my natural sense of disorganization and the odd helper or three adding to the unintentional confusion, that within two months it almost becomes a hazard working out of them. Anyway, cool video! And congratulations! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@GosforthHandyman]

Thank you! 👊👍

[@rickfletcher8389]

Congratulations on 50k. Missing might be hex nut drivers, small tweezers (the type that spring closed), masking tape and that one tool that you need for a particular job that you haven’t got with you!!

The hex drivers etc. live in my drill bit box 👍👊😀

[@jimmcdonald6465]

Absolutely fantastic Andy, really well done! Onward and upward!!!

[@GosforthHandyman]

Cheers Jim! 👊👍

[@paulcharman44]

Andy, great video, here's to 100k subscribers. the blue bendy thing is called a "French curve" used when drawings were done with pencils to get a smooth curve through a number of points. Regarding the electrical test screwdrivers I think you mentioned, these are junk and potentially lethal, check out the John Ward video on them. Personally, I use one of those plug in units with 3 lights on them to confirm a socket etc is live, they are also good for checking extension leads. they let you know when an earth is missing or the line and neutral are round the wrong way, more common than you would think. keep up the great videos.

Congrats Andy.

[@MarzNet256]

Cool. I used to carry tools in a canvas bag and throw all the junk in it at the end of a job. I would then empty it out at the shop and flip it upside down to shake out all the screws that got caught in all the nooks and crannies. They actually wore holes in the bag...little buggers.

[@adude7050]

Glazier's pry bar it will replace your butter knife and add a scraper nail puller to your kit in one tool. Also or fishing wire you can replace the string and weight with a length of flat chain.

[@FordPickUPRed]

The collection of different screws is so worth while having.

[@MrLamrod174]

If you've got a krone punch down tool in your box, its always worth while keeping a handful of jelly crimps in there too. Never know when you might need to extend a phone line.

[@frankblack1481]

That metal folding rule is lovely.

[@SammyInnit]

One of the things I've come to terms with over the 12 or so years I've worked in a trade is toolboxes and bags are a bad idea. They're a magnet for junk and I'd end up with a spread much like yours and much of it needless. So a few years back I thought right, what can I do and I set about making a set of tray organisers out of ply that stack inside a systainer. Obviously this wouldn't be to everyone's taste but you know now, everything has a place, it attracts no more than necessary and it works. For tasks where I'd require tools that I don't carry daily I have three sets of shallow drawer cabinets with each having a drawer allocated to say pliers, or screwdrivers, hex keys etc and I'll make up an on the fly tool kit for the next days job using an open tote systainer to accompany my EDC systainer. I know 'OCD' is a bit of a buzzword these days but I do have OCD and it was mentally taxing for me when I had a bag that everything was thrown in. The system I use now allows me to see exactly what I have and I know when something is missing as every tool has a specific place to it becomes photographic and it's easier to think I need X that's in tray Y next to A. My ideal would be to take a snap on type cabinet to work but it's not ideal for construction sites where I normally work.

[@GosforthHandyman]

Fantastic - I've seem some lovely set-ups with systainers and custom foam cut-outs. 👍👊

If you DID want to carry a chisel in this box, FastCap balisong-style chisels could be an option (if they're legal in the UK ; ) I have several in my toolbox and I never have to worry about them dulling or me accidentally jabbing myself with one. They're sturdier than you'd think by looking at them. I do not, however, recommend their pocket awl, as the shaft construction and shaft material used are substandard. Mine broke almost immediately.

[@Pistol_Knight]

Ha Ha loved it, BUT..............(this may be a long post.....) Its a Glazing putty knife not a scraper, buy a decent hammer!!, Plastic level!!, feeler gauges, your spark plugs need constant adjusting :):) Put the Power detector in the top out of harms way, put your setting tool in your OCD (I have 3 screw/plug boxes all catering for different sizes etc, Pencils....what can I say use propelling pencils, no huge sharpener involved, constant width of lead (Wilko do 2 for about a £1, with a pack of spare leads) I only cleaned my toolbox out this week as it was full of sawdust chucked lots out to put into a 2ndary tool box (I have 3 of those now :()

[@GosforthHandyman]

My hammer is fine - I hardly ever hammer anything. The bigger level is metal - the little one is just for awkward spaces - it's accurate though. You're right about the detector - will see if it fits. No room in my OCD boxes for the setting tool but it normally ends up in my drill box depending on what I'm doing. I just don't get on with propelling pencils! Might do a vid on that. 😂👍👊
