Easily beats other Top 10 Tool videos - he's really got a gift for hitting the sweet spot between being concise/to-the-point and having an entertaining, affable speaking style. All of us who've watched a lot of similar channels know that's a pretty darn hard balance to get right!
Those wire stripper/cutters are BALLER! I have some chunky Klein brand cutter/strippers and though they do strip and cut wire super cleanly, they are large and a bit cumbersome. I would definitely like something that strips clean but small enough to throw in my pack out bag
Wow I have only seen the first of the top ten tools. I see you have a really organized shop wall and workbench...something I need to get done for my shop.
Nice video! I have the wire stripper/cutter. I thought I was about the only person that had one. Bought it when my electronics store saddly went out of business. Thank you for sharing!! .
I cannot turn away from layout tools and if one is good then half a dozen of the same thing is just fine. One I rarely see mentioned is the Japanese marking gauge that uses a knife blade. It's delightful for cross-grain and severs the fibers for a neater cut.
I've had those stubby drill bits for years... brad point wood and metal ones. Love them. The metal ones are especially handy... chuck in & don't slip like most bits and don't flex like longer bits. Think about how often you drill deep metal holes... almost never. The short bits tend to drill straighter in hand drills.
since you asked, I have had a set of the stump brad points for a good long while, and they are super handy. using them in conjunction with the Milwaukee compact 12v drill driver makes most of my 'inside' work much easier.
Izzy. Loved the video. Just added several of those items to my Amazon wish list. Tell us more about that drill press fence. You mentioned the Magswitch’s but who makes that fence? Thanks for the video.
I don’t have those particular bits but I do have hex shank bits that I use in my impact driver. I also always use my spade bits in my impact. I’ve seen people say that’s “wrong” but I’ve never had an issue and it doesn’t try to take my arm off 🤷♂️
An interesting array of tools and it's good to see you having fun in the shop. I needed to drill & tap some hardwood for a project so picked up a set of combined drill & taps, they worked surprisingly well and are, I think, oddball enough to fit this discussion.
Too many cleaning sessions with a metal wire wheel and you’ll destroy your rasp cutting faces. I would recommend a brass wire wheel.( solid brass) Yes they cost as much as the rasp but you only have to buy each one once. Thank you for your quick delivery and clear views as opposed to loud music and endless talking because you want to be a you tube star. I found it a pleasure for once.
Hi Izzy good to watch your channel again I like the top 10 review...I have had the stubby's for year the most used bits when woodworking, take care and great videos as always.
Done the c14 power cord a couple of years ago. Love it, only thing is they have a tendency to fall out if you pull the cord. I "updated" my c13 cord to a locking one. You have to push a button for it to release.
Thank you Izzy, I am buying those adaptor plugs. I am not just a wood worker, but a home improvement contractor. And moving tools, lights, fans, heaters..... in and out of homes with cords is a PAIN, but you put an adaptor on a couple 25' extension cords, now your talking.
Those IEC connectors are almost universal on studio audio equipment because power needs to be as hot swappable as audio feeds in cases of outboard processors failing. It's nuts that tradies don't get this option out of the box! A short cable and an extension cord is way more practical than all the tools into a plugboard and less of a tripping hazard, too.
Well Well!! A tool list both worth watching and different, thank you!! I have never used a single one nor have I heard of most, I shall be buying some if they are on sale over here?! Loved your humour. Bob England Ps you may find that roto is from rotogravure which is a photographic process now why that connects with that tool is beyond me?
I have a wire cutter/stripper spring loaded same action cuts and strips wire of many gages with no adjustments. That's called a 1/4 power shank. Telescoping extensions leaves a lot of runout. cords are not covered under any manufacturer warranties nor does it disqualify defective parts or workmanship warranties...all clamps are adjustable that I know of. There's a countersink plug tool all in one that takes the plug from the original piece as well as drills pilot hole and countersinks. Not to Pat myself on the back but I am a power tool technician authorized service for many tool lines and have been in the business for 40 years so you didn't "stumpy" me here. Thank you I really enjoyed this video. the only problem with The Machinist advice is the magnets do tend to attract metal burrs even when retracted. But the versatility definitely outweighs the inconvenience... The putty I was unaware of but with the name brand like that I would have certainly bought it if I saw it.
Izzy is having to much fun. Been cutting my power cords short for years to use with my dust hose / power cable combination hooked to my auto start switch for my dust collector. Prepare tool, hook in dust collector hose, hook in power cord, away we go. Even cut my Festool TS-55 cord short. Have all both stub sets great things to have in your kit. Still using my corner jigs and wedges I made from your design years ago.
I knew you were a smart man and I've been following you for quite a while. So you remind me a lot of myself that you never settle for that is the better mouse trap
In 2006, at an A.S.H.R.A.E conference in Chicago, IL. I saw this oddball tool and the vender said they were only $10US(2006). I bought them and have never once regretted buying them. Yes, I still use them often in 2023. Then I spot the same ones in this episode, I had to laugh and 100% agree with your review of those oddball wire cutter/stripper. Keep being you Izzy, we enjoy what you do.
Great video Izzy. One question, on the replacement plugs, why didn't you use the standard plugs available at the big box stores? Easier to get and better power ratings. I am thinking that that is the way I will do that and I already have plenty of extension cords in the shop.
because these are much smaller. The regular sized plugs and sockets are too cumbersome if you have to manoeuvre in tight spots. Computer cords and extensions are everywhere. Every household has a box full. I just use those.
@@waynoswaynos they're rated at 10 amps. Most power tools worth a crap use more than 10 amps. I'd rather not burn my house down to avoid a cord on a corded tool.
izzy, do you have issues when drilling ferrous metals and the resultant metal shavings collecting on bottom of magnetic base? when in the “unlocked” position would they fall off bottom, or have to be pulled off?
*Yeah, I was going to buy one thinking $79.99 and yikes! There's got to be a cheaper competitor. It's either one large rectangular or four smaller magnets and a knob that raises them with four bolts coming out of the top to connect it to your vise.*

I'm saving this video for future need and reflection. Great video very useful!
GREAT VID!!!! Short, to the point and one of the few that actually has real info!!!!!!
Thanks for the chuckle.
Thanks for the recommendations.
I just noticed watching several woodcraft videos all these guys know and pick on each other..... sounds fun😅
The shop looks so organized! Miss ya all.
We miss you too brother.
The cord trick is LIFE CHANGING
Neat! I had never known about those rasps! Just bookmarked those for a future holiday or birthday gift!
Great video. these are exceptional choices for small shop tools.
I love my dwarf Brad bits.
Those wire stripper/cutters are BALLER! I have some chunky Klein brand cutter/strippers and though they do strip and cut wire super cleanly, they are large and a bit cumbersome. I would definitely like something that strips clean but small enough to throw in my pack out bag
Wow!! Men a few of your pick really blow my mind!! Thank YOU!!
Good Job! And entertaining too.
Nice info, good applications. Thanks for thw content.
Watching in Ireland thank you for share these great tools
JUST ORDERED 2 OF THE CORNER CLAMPS COOL
Izzy, get you a speed vise for your mag base and really speed up the operation. Keep the great videos coming!
Always like your vids . Like adding to my knowledge base with a dose of good humor.
So AWESOME Izzy! Really enjoyed seeing the Magswitch Vise Base....
having trouble finding a source for the Magswitch Vise Base... any recommendations?
Wow I have only seen the first of the top ten tools. I see you have a really organized shop wall and workbench...something I need to get done for my shop.
Really good job with the video. Thank you for posting this. I really appreciate it.
Really like the drill press vise accessory. That's brilliant
Nice video! I have the wire stripper/cutter. I thought I was about the only person that had one. Bought it when my electronics store saddly went out of business. Thank you for sharing!! .
What is the brand so I can find them easier
Thanks so much...just ordered rototape.
I have had a set of the stubby brad points for years ... love 'em!
Great information. Love the humor. You definitely got a “like” from me.
Best shop tools vid. Haven't stopped smiling.👍
I Love the tip about using a drill with a wire wheel to clean up rasps and files.
Thanks Izzy
Thanks izzy! Great tools.
Great video, keep ‘em comin!

I love brad point drill bits. Especially for hand drilling
Thank you for enlightening us
These tools are interesting
These were super useful reviews. I haven’t used any of these tools and now have to buy the wire snips/strippers first!
Just looked for them on the affiliate link, and Amazon is sold out of them 😕
@@AtriumXP666 Yeah we all jumped on that link and ordered them.
Izzy that was a great video. I am going to buy at 6 items to make my life easier, especially those power cord connectors.
Nice callout to Stumpy Nubs.
Great video I'm thinking about getting a few of these thanks for the info

Tell us more about that drill press fence. You mentioned the Magswitch’s but who makes that fence? Thanks for the video.
Nice group of odd ball tools. The marking gauge I can see using often.
Hey Izzy, your odd ball tools are great. But I like your presentation the best!!
I don’t have those particular bits but I do have hex shank bits that I use in my impact driver. I also always use my spade bits in my impact. I’ve seen people say that’s “wrong” but I’ve never had an issue and it doesn’t try to take my arm off 🤷♂️
Great list of tools! Can’t not correct the swapping of circumference for radius in two spots though.
I don’t think he did very good in geometry
The magnetic tools work great. I've made all sorts of them. Fun and easy to make
Love the power cord idea!! I am going to do this on my Dremels, and then they can go in a single case. WAY COOL!!! Thanks so much!!
An interesting array of tools and it's good to see you having fun in the shop.
I needed to drill & tap some hardwood for a project so picked up a set of combined drill & taps, they worked surprisingly well and are, I think, oddball enough to fit this discussion.
Agreed we use are drill/taps combo around the shop all the time. We love them. good call
You beat me to it! I love them!
where can i get some
lol. vintage Izzy. vbery enjoyable video sir. good info and fun to watch. nice work

Those combo wire cutters and strippers look great. Never seen a design like that before.
Love the humour - Poor old Mr Nubs 👍😁
Hi Izzy good to watch your channel again I like the top 10 review...I have had the stubby's for year the most used bits when woodworking, take care and great videos as always.
I only have one oddball tool in my shop. It's not always there but it's always there when I am. 😁😉
Done the c14 power cord a couple of years ago. Love it, only thing is they have a tendency to fall out if you pull the cord. I "updated" my c13 cord to a locking one. You have to push a button for it to release.
Did you consider using a PowerCon plug?
What locking connectors did you find?
Thank you Izzy, I am buying those adaptor plugs. I am not just a wood worker, but a home improvement contractor. And moving tools, lights, fans, heaters..... in and out of homes with cords is a PAIN, but you put an adaptor on a couple 25' extension cords, now your talking.

Awesome suggestions. 🎯. What is the material used for your bench top surface?
Great vid love the tools
I'm ordering the flush cutter strippers for sure. Will use your link.
You sir are the man!
Well Well!! A tool list both worth watching and different, thank you!! I have never used a single one nor have I heard of most, I shall be buying some if they are on sale over here?!

Izzy, you really cracked me up with this one. Especially the Stumpy Nubs reference. My biggest laugh came when I started looking at prices though.
Very nice
Its the best wire stripper I've ever used had mine for 20 years
Great lineup of tools Izzy! Love the humor 😂😂
Do you think you could you modify those rasps to be used with a reciprocating saw? I dig the hacks, tips, advice etc 💯
Izzy, you're killing me! I ordered those wire cutters (very cool!) and the drill bits. I had more stuff in my cart but I had to reel myself in...
Sorry. lol
These tools, especially the first two and the corner clamps are perfect for building speakers.
Thanks Izzy.
8:46 I see what ya did there 😂 I’ll humor you and comment on it ❤
I knew you were a smart man and I've been following you for quite a while. So you remind me a lot of myself that you never settle for that is the better mouse trap
So smart he doesn't know the difference between radius and diameter. High school education fail.
love MAGGIE too.
Nice tool collection. And liked the Doom sample ;)
That drill cleaning of the rasp alone was worth the watch
That power cord thing just blew my mind!! I'm on board 1000%
This video is actually pretty good info . That’s what’s up 😎

Enjoyed your shooting board idea, sorta like a saw kickback. Greetings from Maine
Really liked the power cord tip.
Great fun video.
the clipper/stripper is bad ass
Great unique tools for sure.
@1:17 The rototape does 4' radius which makes it an 8' diameter circle not 8' radiuses as you stated.
Great video Izzy. One question, on the replacement plugs, why didn't you use the standard plugs available at the big box stores? Easier to get and better power ratings. I am thinking that that is the way I will do that and I already have plenty of extension cords in the shop.

@@waynoswaynos they're rated at 10 amps. Most power tools worth a crap use more than 10 amps. I'd rather not burn my house down to avoid a cord on a corded tool.
Nice presentation 👏
Immediately bought the cutter/strippers and the stumpy nubs!
Sweet
Cord end was a great find! I hate cords too... problem solved!
izzy, do you have issues when drilling ferrous metals and the resultant metal shavings collecting on bottom of magnetic base? when in the “unlocked” position would they fall off bottom, or have to be pulled off?
compressed air! (if you have it)
Great stuff. ordered 3 of the 4. The vice base I cannot find anywhere. The link goes to the site, but the base is not on the product list.
I reeeeally enjoyed this video!
Very nice 👍. Where can I buy some of the tools you mentioned like the magnetic vice? Thanks
The magswitch vice base looks great, but that price is absolutely crazy.
Everything by Magswitch is, it’s crazy. They must hold patents or something because it’s such an easy idea and no one else makes them.
$400 is a hard sell
@@taylorhickman84 far, far far too expensive... unless you use it every day
*Yeah, I was going to buy one thinking $79.99 and yikes! There's got to be a cheaper competitor. It's either one large rectangular or four smaller magnets and a knob that raises them with four bolts coming out of the top to connect it to your vise.*
