Sometimes people forget that not everyone has a 1m usd shop to do certain stuff but you are always finding clever ideas to do things whithout being very tool dependant
I will take Torx over Phillips screws, but I live in a part of the world where square (Robertson) screws are the king of screws. I have square bits that are over 10 years old and still work, just fine. Furthermore, I have a pair of square screwdrivers that are over 20 years old, and they are still working fine, those are from the pre-bits era.
I'm old-school, and use a chalk line everywhere longer than my longest straight edge. I like that it's easier to clean away than a pencil, and let's me do runs of any length. And blue painter's masking tape. I go through that faster than any other consumable. I'm also gonna borrow from your list, especially the countersinking bits and the Olfa knife.
Decorators multitool e.g. Purdey: flat scraper, spreader, circular profile scraper (great to remove old finishes from handles etc.) nail puller, paint/varnish lid remover, hammer (end of handle to replace tin lids etc.) pointed corner scraper, mini pry bar (removes rusted washers/annulus rings etc). The pointed tip is sharp enough to scribe, and some versions even have a bottle opener 😊
I don't know if your clamps are reversible like mine, but just thought I'd mention it. You can pull the long part out and insert it the opposite way. So instead of clamping together, it pushes things apart. Not super useful, but has helped me out a lot. Love your content, have been binge watching since I found your channel.
Thanks for doing one of these tool videos. Although I already have all of these tools, I’m sure there are tools that you have and use daily that many people including myself don’t even know exist. Please keep them coming!
Absolutely true what you say about torx screws. They are so practical. I live in Belgium and here we use them all the time. My entire house (that i build myself) is screwed together with torx screws. Thanks for the nice vid's !!!
And thanks Ricky for mentioning Robertson. Since I am also living in Europe, I did not know that existed til two month ago, even having seen Bit Drivers for it. Very amazing History oft the systems Philips and Robertson.
I have some bar clamps similar to those you showed, but they also have a feature that allows the fixed jaw to be removed and moved to the opposite end of the bar, allowing the clamp to act as a spreader. I've found this feature useful from time to time. They are made by Wolfcraft.
Olfa makes the best segmented knifes, ingenious design, high quality, super-sharp and long-lasting blades. Olfa was also a company that invented segmented knifes :)
CA glue is also really useful in combination with painters tape. Put painters tape on two items, glue them together with CA for a temporary hold and remove the painters tape with the CA after.
@@achappel I've seen a lot of CNC hobbyists use that technique to temporarily fix parts on the CNC machine, but woodworkers also use them for all kinds of techniques: ruclips.net/video/fTJ6dP1Im6A/видео.html for example - or just as a replacement for double sided tape - since it is easier to remove too.
I think I use the pry part of the olfa knife more than the actual blade. I also like my pica markers very much for deep markings, when the pencil can’t reach.
I second those clamps. One of my favourite tools is a square with a ruler on it that is marked in *2mm* steps. So much easier to read with bad eyes, bad light or at a distance. You can still measure to 1mm by going between the marks. I wonder why there aren't more rulers like that.
You can definitely have more vids like these, as well as more basic ones. How about one with all the kinds of wood and the difference between them? The challenge is: Can you make a vid about wood as fun as all your other ones? :) But seriously, for people that know nothing, it can be a little daunting to know what wood to use for what part of a project.
Dang, I think I'll have to run out to the nearest Clas Ohlson and get that tape measure! BTW the way I like to use those foldable "tommestokk" ones is to line up the length I'm referencing with the edge and then mark at the zero point of the ruler. Also, those Bahco clamps are really nice and for sale at Jula here in Norway right now for 50 NOK (~$5), I'm thinking about picking up like 10 of them 😃 One tool that I find super useful is my Level Box! Makes it super easy to set accurate angles on my table saw.
I'm American but have to agree with you on metric. Base 10 everything is much easier than having a different base for every type of measurement. But, no one wants to change from whats familiar.
Hi! You should really try the tape mesaure from Hultafors called talmeter. I really love the because they have a metal needle so you dont need your pencil. Keep upp the good work with your chanel! 🤘
i've been thinking of making a tool vest for my most grabbed tools. now with the warmth i dont want to wear overalls....but where do i wear my pencil now? like a fishermans vest for an entry systems tech. perhaps a gunslingers holster for my impact driver. ideas ever welcome
You just copied my list, didn't you? I have the exact same items always in reach, only the little plane is missing. I even got the same torx bits stuck with magnets on my drill. Usually I use my chisels just like that to clean out shoulders, but maybe christmas will be early this year and I'll give that shoulderplane a try
Bad thing about Torx: They dont wear out easily, but if they do, there is no chance of ever getting them out again. Its usually possible to remove worn out Phillips screws. That being said, i like Torx ;-)
You can make a video for history, how it ends up to you, or the process to buy it, what we must careful, how to maintain and what you do with it for every big tool you have like the lathe! And a video how to be careful, not to cut our fingers on a band saw...!!!!!!!
The combination square, how is the fit between the ruler and the thingy?, I have tried to buy a few (can't find them in Norway for some reason), and the fit is always loose, so I wonder if that is how they are, or should it be a tight fit. (like, not sideways wobble etc) And, how do you make ca-glue last?, always after 2-3 uses, then the glue is either dried or not possible to open again.. (user error I guess) And axminster, how are they delivering to Norway?, or do we have Norwegian suppliers of your stuff?
the combination square has a screw that you need to tighten, once that's tight everything should be super snug. With the CA glue it's super important to screw the cap on fully every time, and I've many times not screwed it on fully and ended up with the cap being glued to the bottle :P Axminster are great, they ship to Norway, you'll have to pay the import fees and vat though... thanks for watching :))
@@achappel Would be better with local vendors, or that they handle vat, will try and see. But, the combination square, yes the screw is ok, but the "track" that the ruler lies into, is always much wider than the ruler is thick, so it want to wobble sideways, will try to locate them again, and post a picture somewhere.
@@achappel If you want your CA glue to last a long time, here are two helpful tips. 1) Always store it in the refrigerator with the cap tight. 2) Do not spray the activator anywhere near the open bottle of glue. I recommend you put the cap on the glue before you apply activator. Believe it or not, the activator molecules travel quickly through the air and can start the chain reaction on the glue in the bottle. Just think of how quickly the odour of the activator reaches your nose.
Hey can someone link me to where @alexandre talks about his Black Dry Erase board? I've messed up making my own using paint on fiberboard. It's not smooth so looking at creative ideas on how to make a Black colored (LARGE) dry erase board the same like his.
My favorite are the Wolfcraft one hand clamps. With the yellow lever you can precisely open them with one hand without a fast swing turn. They do not slip and you can even turn both ends around for spreading applications. With an additional connector you may even combine two to a very large clamp. I definitely recommend trying these: www.wolfcraft.de/products/wolfcraft/en/EUR/Products/Hand-tools/Clamps/One-hand-clamps/EHZ-%22PRO%22-One-Hand-Clamp/p/P_3030
Nice Video :) But i think you have forgotten something important on your list, and that would be a small book or a legal pad where you can quickly take notes :)
canadian here. mostly i use robertson as torx is far more costly. at least here. torx is good but the price makes it a less attractive option. to be true i use inch standard self tapping 7/16 fasteners but its very application specific. canada drives in metric but builds in fractions. i use metric for small things but thats because i have centimeters tattooed on my left index finger. that is my most used tool
Unfortunately Robertson is really uncommon outside of Canada. While it's very popular to hate on Phillips I think most problems come from people using the wrong driver or not replacing them when they are worn out. But even so a marginal Torx is still a way more reliable and stronger than even the best Phillips screw and bit. Another standard that's very common is the old Hex socket. The drivers are often reffered to as Allen wrenches. While these are common they are also actually mechanically weaker than both Roberts and Torx, especially when used for small screws. The real strength of the Torx system is that it's immediately obvious when you try to use the wrong size driver, and it's the same with Robertson. Phillips on the other hand you can usually use a driver one size smaller, and to the casual user it's not immediately obvious just how it damages the screw head. Another problem is that you can even try to force a Pozidriv, Supadriv or JIS into a Phillips head. In fact JIS screws are pretty common, but most of the time people doesn't have the correct driver and just use a Phillips screwdriver often not even knowing that JIS is another standard. Almost all of those problems can be avoided by using something like Torx or Robertson.
I was introduced to Robertson much later in life. It’s incredibly strong. Driving 5” screws is easy one handed. And the screw holds onto the head without magnets. Screws can be reused multiple times and quality bits last years. A tribute to a great Canadian invention. It’s a pity it’s not more available worldwide.
@@rickypacheco I will take Torx over Phillips screws, but I live in a part of the world where square (Robertson) screws are the king of screws.

i guess this is sort of a hybrid tools video? drill bits imply power tools. maybe have a manual tools foundation video and a power tools foundation video. by foundation, i mean the underlying tools or components that are versatile and possibly multifunction that are the universal basis for what you want to do. for power tools, the primary foundation of cordless is the battery. i am hoping the battery standards becomes universal / industry-wide so that you buy 1 battery for any cordless power tool. i know there are european efforts (i forget the name of the organization) with metabo as a member, to make this happen, but not everyone is onboard since proprietary batteries are more profitable to many manufacturers. thus is how north america gets messed up with no standardization due to profit rather than building on a consensus of standards.
Hello, how are you?! I love watching your videos (really liking your constructions work, building things, restoring things, etc etc) I’m highly interested in buying the Tape Measure but that website isn’t readable! I’m in American, and I’m having a hard time translating or converting that website to English. Can you please help me?! I really appreciate it! Shawnkhan83
we've been getting a lot more torx fasteners here in the USA and I agree, they are awesome. A bit more expensive since the brands are from Europe (GRK, Grex, Spax). But since they are engineered, they have better grip, don't snap and are better quality. I've used square drive, but I'm a big fan of the torx style drive system.
Hey, awesome content. You missed the marking steel pin in #5 combination square. It's really handy when working on wood and steel. It's at the bottom of the handle, you unscrew it to use it!
Great video and perfect timing! My mother in law just asked me what I want for my birthday, so a tool which is not so costly is just perfect. Although I already have most of these, the ca glue would have been for many projects which where hard to clamp perfect. Also I don't have a measure tape yet. The mini plane also looks awesome. So thank you for the ideas! Regarding the combination square: It looks on the picture on amazon that it has it but you didn't mention: A marking needle. I love that thing on mine. Always there to make a mark. It is more precise than any pencil and always there when I need it. My pencils use to hide from me anyway... Would love to see that kind of video for power tools too! Thank you!
Vise grip pliers are awesome. They can often replace a clamp, you can use them to cut thin stock and if you need a hammer, they are sometimes heavy enough. (I do mostly metal work)
I switched from utility blades to segmented blades a few years ago when the Samurai Woodworker talked about them. I hate standard utility blades now. As far as the blades themselves, the Olfa brand are the best I've used. Spendy, but worth it. However, I really like the DeWalt handle /holder, as it locks the blade securely, yet when you push on the slider there's nothing to loosen / tighten.
This is probably one of the best lists I've seen for usefell tools. And most of them you'll use for all your projects. Also picked up on some uses I didn't know my tools could do. Awesome video! 😎
Personally, I find my exacto knife to be the tool I use the most. I just love it's precision and small form but that may just be because I work with smaller objects. Also, metric is definitely the best.
I like the color grading in this video. WAs it graded or is this right out of camera? if right out of camera, which cam and color mode was it taken in. Just curious.

"Weird square screws". Canadians: We are not weird!
Red and Green Robertson FTW!
My thoughts exactly! Robbies are 100% better than Phillips; and; god damn, if I see one more flat-head, I'll cry.
@@Yolojaculation Flat head screwdrivers are made for one job and one job only: slipping and going straight into your palm.
Robertson is the best! I cant remember the last time I stripped one.

Very useful video... Thanks ,,
Torx is such a lifesaver in carpentry it's not even funny. Such a simple but great invention.
I think I use the pry part of the olfa knife more than the actual blade. I also like my pica markers very much for deep markings, when the pencil can’t reach.
Good tips. I need to get one of those Olfa knives. The model is OL in case you want to get one as well.
Bro you make so good video 💪
I'm partial to the 4" needle nose vice grips
I always have a 3,5mm flat head screwdriver with me everywhere i go. It fits more than flat head screws, ph2, tx20 and many more.
What is also super useful with CA glue is adding bicarbonate of soda. It accelerates the drying of the CA glue and It makes a really nice hard fillet.
Like the ide about powertools.
On that combination square, there is also a pin to leave precise marks. Useful sometimes.

Great video and perfect timing! My mother in law just asked me what I want for my birthday, so a tool which is not so costly is just perfect. Although I already have most of these, the ca glue would have been for many projects which where hard to clamp perfect. Also I don't have a measure tape yet. The mini plane also looks awesome. So thank you for the ideas!
Regarding the combination square: It looks on the picture on amazon that it has it but you didn't mention: A marking needle. I love that thing on mine. Always there to make a mark. It is more precise than any pencil and always there when I need it. My pencils use to hide from me anyway...
Would love to see that kind of video for power tools too!
Thank you!
Vise grip pliers are awesome. They can often replace a clamp, you can use them to cut thin stock and if you need a hammer, they are sometimes heavy enough. (I do mostly metal work)
For metal work i absolutely love them! Hopefully I'll get to do som more metalworking soon :) thanks for watching ;)
I switched from utility blades to segmented blades a few years ago when the Samurai Woodworker talked about them. I hate standard utility blades now.
As far as the blades themselves, the Olfa brand are the best I've used. Spendy, but worth it.
However, I really like the DeWalt handle /holder, as it locks the blade securely, yet when you push on the slider there's nothing to loosen / tighten.
This is probably one of the best lists I've seen for usefell tools. And most of them you'll use for all your projects. Also picked up on some uses I didn't know my tools could do. Awesome video! 😎
I'm happy to hear there where some useful tips in there :) thanks for watching :)

yay!! :))
Where do you buy screws? Im guessing not biltema :)
I buy mine from Maxbo, so the MFT screws (made by hikoki)
I’ll check them out. For me it has mostly been biltema and essve, and some kreg screws.
Personally, I find my exacto knife to be the tool I use the most. I just love it's precision and small form but that may just be because I work with smaller objects. Also, metric is definitely the best.
I love torx too, because Phillips strips too fast
Boom
hahahaha :P
Well in my top Ten List would be certainly a caliper, but depends on the work your doing. Would like if you do a vid about power tools
I like the color grading in this video. WAs it graded or is this right out of camera? if right out of camera, which cam and color mode was it taken in. Just curious.
Thanks :) jeah it's graded from v-log from a Panasonic gh5s ( the color grading is still a work in progress through)
