      I believe the "Cancer Warning" is for California. Pretty much EVERYTHING sold in California needs that warning on it.
      Also, the usage for the keyhole saw is spot on. Most people just use a "drywall jab saw" now instead of a keyhole saw. Keyhole saws are actually becoming kind of rare these days. They used to be far more popular in the 1970's and 1980's.

    My summer job in college was in a small family owned Ace Hardware.
    Those handy cutters were part of our standard kit. There is enough friction they don’t just slide out. I don’t remember anyone getting injured.
    I love that may of the Ace stores are still old time hardware stores where you can buy one screw instead of 20 and a couple aisles over are canning supplies and other stuff for the kitchen and at the front is a set of bins with weird toys.

TBH, the ladies believed it was some customer satisfaction exercise (who in their sane mind would pay 250-300 Euros for train tickets and spend all that time on a train just to see a movie, duh), so they said, you dont need to pay in advance, your ticket will be waiting for you here before the movie starts.

    I think the flexible drill extension is most useful, we all run into tight space problems.

I like the hall effect pens for a quick trace and a multimeter to be clear what is actually present.

      @@ShadowFoam it's not that it hasn't hit your part of the UK yet, it is just really old style, from the 60's or older, they used to have a little screw on the handle side of the blade to lock the blade in with. I think the ones we had were Craftsman from Sears but I could be totally wrong on that. I went to check the old tool box, but don't have them anymore, we moved about 4 years ago and left tons of old tools behind, I couldn't find anyone interested in coming and buying or even just taking tools and such from my father having been a plumber then a DIYer for 60 years.

      Any idea why they were this shape? When I saw this one I thought surely the familiar "U" profile is for throat clearance and this wedge form would limit stroke to the handle end in most uses.

      I’ve been in the building trade in the UK 40 years and never seen a hacksaw that shape, so yes it’s quirky ( in the UK )

      @@worstuserever no idea why they were that shape, I remember when I saw the first one that was like a large square, I asked my dad about it and he said it was not a hack saw that I must have seen something else, it was not expensive so I bought it for him, he said it was great, but he had never seen one like that. He continued to use the wedge shaped one most often. Maybe it had to do with getting it in to smaller places or spots where there might be several pipes and you need to just get one from between others.
      I just know as a kid all the hack saws I ever saw were that wedge shaped until about the mid 70's
      Here is what I found about them with a Google search:
      COMPACT DESIGN: A 9" (22.9 cm) frame supporting a 6" (15.2 cm) super sharp steel blade, perfect for intricate tasks.
      ERGONOMIC GRIP: Natural and easy-grip handle, shaped to resist slipping and ensure maximum control during use.
      VERSATILITY AT ITS BEST: Ideal for metal crafts, jewelry design, repair, and other delicate work, especially in limited spaces.

    So in the usa carpet blades last alot longer than utilty blades. I think because there thicker but demoing out carpet they work better and the ergonomics helps too. Superior tools is mostly a plumbing brand. Pasco do mostly specialized tools for plumbing as well. Alot of stores you work at have thoes sleeve box cutters as standard issue. We use to shave the front of the metal retainers allow the blade to stick out further. We also put fuzzy side of the velcro around the body and keep them in our teeth as we worked very safe 😆. I use thr allway caulk took as apparent maintenance mostly to remove caulk without scratches to the porcelain. Last and not least almost everyone I know what's black packout it's our biggest complaint even more so than price! I've known people to import it even and they do get some sticky fingers near them because that's thr color people want there tool boxes here. So feel lucky they can't make them red due to a copyright issue in the uk. On thr ace side of things the places I lived at ace hardware is good for oddball things like ceramic wire nuts knob and tube things for old places you kinda need to go there for replacement. They also have the best bulk screw nuts general hardware all the odd grab screws for delta they have it all. I needed a m10 1.15 thread pitch bolt for a honda accord they had it. Need platic car clips for bumper what brand they have 5 types. So yea I'll trade you red milwaukee for black 😆.

    7:43 tight quarters saw, 8:13 another tight quarters saw, that one is for metal, there is a different one for sheetrock, been around forever, 9:05 the California cancer notice is a result of a badly worded law they can't change, if you look into it, the stupider it gets, 9:35 All way tool works well, but it's the cheap knockoff of the Husky you get in HD, 11:04 standard carpet tool, lots of companies make them, also known as a suicide knife due to the double sided blade, it works well,but it's super easy to cut yourself, not for amateurs, Roberts makes the tools that professionals use, nobody uses the one with the knob on the side, it sticks out too much, it's double sided for tight reverse cuts, 12:53 tight quarters cabinet adapter, 14:45 junk, 10:50 the standard box cutter is mostly used in supermarkets for opening cartons, it's literally the cheapest knife you can give to your employees. Been around forever. I have a box of 12 sitting around that I never use. Jiffy is the original brand. 12:27 the flex adapter uses a snapring to hold the bits in, you need the correct bits, if you use other bits they jam up.

Also the cost of shipping and producing good going to California goes up because it's a one state only label on the packaging in a place were it's expensive already.
