Would you pay $3000 for a Tool Kit?

[@haywire1705]

My 1931 Ford Model A and my 1932 Ford sedan both have the actual toolkits that came with them when they were new (including, the grease guns, the air pressure guages, and the tire pumps). But I keep seeing the individual original tools at second hand / antique stores. Sometimes I buy them just to have spares. I bet you could find original Porche tools at places like that too.

[@leslietardif4687]

It’s a nice looking tool kit. I was going to sew up a bag and collect the various items needed to complete it but by the time it takes to make it up its probably not worth the hassle after seeing the one you bought . I worked on a original owner car with the original tool kit in the car and she said I could take it if I needed the tools in it and I told her that I would not even think about using any of the tools in it and told her I that kit was only for emergency only. I told her I wouldn’t take it. It goes with the car and if she takes it anywhere else to work on it that she should keep that kit at home. I showed her on my computer and we found one for $13500 . She thanked me for being honest and not taking it but even I couldn’t do that to a old lady

Dude, you need another Classic Porsche to work on. Just loved those videos.

[@noelmcgarry456]

Were have you been your my favourite KZbin channel your Sunday and Wednesday posting very entertaining look forward to your return

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thank you for the comment. I hope to have a new video out soon

[@JoeEngineer]

The want is strong for those Porsche branded feeler gauges.

[@ianhardin1148]

What a beautiful toolkit. Way too nice for me to ever actually use! :)

[@marklangren3142]

It is not original, but better than the original kit

[@stuwemhoener5937]

That’s cool, I think it’s worth it

[@JakobKsGarage]

I assembled my own 356 tool set from old pictures and what I had lying around in the workshop. Including the air pressure meter and belt. Built a hubcap remover by heat bending a screw driver 😀

[@craigheller9053]

Nice! And great job on the 914...

I like such tool kits. Craftsman came out with specific tool kits years ago. I had a Harley at the time. My wife bought me the Harley tool kit one year for Christmas. She bought me a SAE tool kit another year and the Metric tool kit another year. I keep the Metric tool kit with my Yamaha V Star. I have the other one in a safe dry place in my garage. They came with a small can of WD 40, electrical tape, wrenches, screwdrivers, a spark plug socket and ratchet, zip ties, pliers, a tire pressure gauge and I added a mechanic type towel in each kit. While not leather, they came in a Cordera type fabric with snaps. I keep the one in my motorcycle bag in a gallon ziplock type bag. The Germans always include some tools with their cars. They usually have a first aid kit in the car also.

[@Makatea]

First aid kits are mandatory in german cars since 1970.

[@turbofan67]

That's a great looking kit. I don't have a Porsche, but I want one of those tool kits.

[@tommccall7540]

Nice find. $400, that depends on the buyer. I would. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@dontropepe5929]

While I am not into Porches, I am into tools. Way cool set. And great price.

[@steves9905]

That was fun to watch. Once a car is close to being sorted, def fun to then start looking at all the doodads to outfit it with. As you say, probably not useful but satisfying to look at. I like to get all the brochures and manuals for my cars

[@Abrothers100]

Jeeeez! Be careful! Would hate for you to scratch the paint! :) thank you for all these 356 videos. I’m starting on the engine/trans on a 356 project I picked up last year.

[@tobysettle8595]

Jared!! Where did you go bro? Hope everything is OK!!

[@Jerod_Helt]

Thanks for checking in. I’m fine. I should have a new video out soon👍

[@louietesta3752]

It’s a very interesting assortment of tools. I hope you get to use some of them, they Definitely look high-quality. I liked the carry bag.

[@misterdaz1018]

At the start of the video my thought was that you shouldn't have spent the money on that but when I saw the Porsche branding on the outer box and the quality of the leather case and the individual branded items (I am a sucker for legit branded bits and pieces like that) I was fully on your side by the end. What I had expected was for it to have Porsche on the case but not on of the tools, the way it is I am surprised you got it the price you paid.

[@vayabroder729]

Looks great! To the extent that you don’t want to use it to not get it dirty or damaged…😉

[@tinmeister356]

What?! No tire pressure gauge? The original kits had one. ;-)

[@jz9985]

Hard to justify the expensive alternative for such basic tools. Good choice. Joe

[@miguelpagansr6128]

Thank goodness you didn’t pay that much for it, why would someone pay 3 grand for a tool kit? I don’t see the sense in that. You got yourself a bargain and as for the 914, excellent job on the sale.

[@k708388]

hope to see you at the 356 west coast holiday in sept 2022 maybe do a tech session?

[@targamotors309]

Can you please keep us updated on the Chinese solex knock offs that you recently put on your 356?

[@Jerod_Helt]

Will do👍

[@jamesenloe2791]

Wow! That Porsche tax is no joke.

[@cbadnc9040]

Just discovered your channel! Thanks so much! Can I ask, where did you learn all of your skills. Seems like you have a background in mechanics or engineering. Anyway, keep up the good work!

[@Jerod_Helt]

My background is in Architecture, but I’ve been taking things apart my whole life

[@cbadnc9040]

@@Jerod_Helt Thanks for the reply. Just one more question on the Model T build. It is about the magneto. Can you explain what you were doing when you increased the magnification? Out of all your builds, that was the only part where I was totally stumped! Thanks in advance.

You bought this on ebay but it not a dealer item as well?

The original tool kit is long gone. This is a new one that is very similar

[@joesixpack7551]

...did you end up selling the FJ40?

[@Jerod_Helt]

No, I still have have it. I will get back to it after I finish the Fiat.

[@markerickson3569]

What happened to you?

[@Jerod_Helt]

I have a new video coming out Sunday that explains what’s going on 👍

[@WayneCook306]

Just to let you know there is no "A" on the end of Porsche and is not pronounced with an "A" on the end.

[@2manycatsforadime]

and how is it pronounced? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIqQZ2WQaauAlck
