December 2017 Tool Haul - YouTube

so always a good time for a tool tuber

around birthday time so I've got a bit of a tall haul here from a birthday so

let's get started the first thing I got was this set of Bergen hex drive sockets

they're 3/8 drive there's nine of them they come in this kit foam tray they're

nice quality I haven't used them over six only got them though for yesterday

I haven't got any hex drive sockets at all so they are a good addition to the

tool chest then it's up I've got a LED torch here so it comes in a case with a

little pouch there and it comes with an adapter to be able to fit triple-a

batteries which is handy because it takes one of those I remember what it

called everyone who's got one of these LED torches well no yeah 18 650s

it's nice and bright and the interesting thing with it is its zoomable and the

camera is not quite picking up how bright that is there and it does sort of

different intensity and strobe and SOS so if I'm stuck in the shed without a

cup of tea I can put that to the window and hopefully my wife will see that and

rescue me with a cup of tea that's good and it comes to the charger as well for

the battery and the battery came in the kit so it was everything that you needed

there with any of these things I can't obviously tell you how much they

were because they were gifts but if anybody needs to know I'll be able to

find out next up some ratcheting spanners they're 72 teeth and my

youngest son got me these and these are the rest I need for the complete set of

the spanners from I think it's something like 6 millimeters up to now 27 without

missing any steps at all so I'm really pleased for those some good good chunky

wrenches or spanners in the UK as we know them by so pleased with them when I do

the toolbox tour my show you get to see all the rest of the house that's very

pleased for them next up next up is a set of three ball pin house somewhere so

I've set these free

okay so I didn't have any ball-peen hammers at all got lots of claw hammers

deadblow hammer all kinds of things but no no ball pens so it's a hammer

fiberglass shafts made by Berg you know quite like Bergen swords I think they're

very good value for money and when everybody was saying to me what if you

like this what would you to get you through now you like tools you know I

say to people you know do you don't need to buy me expensive friends I'm not

about there I'm about having a tool that works and does its job and I find that

generally Bergen tools are excellent value for what you get so set three

hammers they're pleased about that as well got this cutting mat as well so the

timber here that you see under E is the new work top for my workbench this is

the first video in the workshop I'm pleased to say we're finally in and yes

I won't be carving up the top of the workbench with noise and things

next thing is a Bergen is 1551 and it's a thirty inch half inch broad breaker

bar I had one so so a long old beast is very

chunky very chunky swivel end and they actually do replacement kits for the end

of this as well so not I can imagine this is gonna break I don't envision

that breaking but if I just get the other one

so this is the by comparison this is the one that I've got currently and this is

been my workhorse for a number of years this is a Clarke breaker bar I think is

18 inch something like that so you see the sort of size comparison I'm gonna

get a lot more leverage with this new bar so I know for that I'm gonna have to

be doing the brakes on the Jeep in the new year hopefully the weather gets a

bit very pleased for that next up some spanner holders or racks

whatever you want to call them I do like a bit at all organization and I've got

the new tool chests and I'll be doing a review video on those soon I am pleased

with them and I've bought them in February so it's taken me a long time to

finally be able to get to use these not these obviously I'm talking about the

tool chests and there behind me so yeah it is what it is probably have to I've

done it with I'm gonna have them lengthwise and the span is along the

width of the drawer that way I'll cut them and have them moving in that way so

it's good next up replacement chainsaw gloves because mine went a little bit

moldy in the old shed and if there's something you need PPE for is using a

chainsaw

next thing not at all but is for the workshop is the mount for the TV screen

I'm gonna put in the shed man needs a TV when he's working because

he does why not! and I'm gonna be fitting in Saturday is coming Saturday

next item this is a common rail diesel injector leak back kit

the reason why I needed this is I think I've got a problem with one of my

injectors leaking out of sync with the combustion and the reason why I think

that is because the oil level in the Jeep is going up slightly and I do

actually have a small oil leak which I've got to fix as well so I know

there's something going on there and I'm gonna have to get that fixed pretty

quickly because if I am having diesel leak back through the combustion chamber

into the oil gallery it's obviously going to thin my oil out and it's

they're going to do my engine no good whatsoever so I shall be using this

quite shortly I'll probably do a video on that the kit I think this whole kit

here was got all these connectors and so it's a nice kit I think it's about 20

pounds probably made in China but the fittings and things and these are quite

thick perspex I think these are yeah but the fittingings are, they're quite nice

quite well machined so interesting to see how that works out certainly give me

an indications to end of what injectors if any are not operating correctly so

I'll be able to put that through its paces

next up a drape a handheld vacuum now this is a mains vacuum so it's 230 or

240 volts in the UK 600 watts so you might think that that isn't a

particularly powerful handheld vacuum I had a battery one in previous years and

I'll be perfectly honest that was completely gutless and

didn't really do an awful lot of anything so my wife gave me this bless her

and she did a bit of research on the interwebs the reviews on

this were really good and I have already had a little go and I can tell you that

I was properly impressed with this

so if you're in the UK I don't know if this is available in the US or Canada

the item number is two four three nine two Draper handheld vacuum cleaner yes a

really cool little little vacuum I tdidn't really want to get a bigger

vacuume for the workshop and I have to work something out for dust collection

on things like the bandsaw and bits and pieces like that but I didn't want to

have a additionally to that another vacuum in here because it takes up space

I don't really want to give up if I can help it

and last but by no means least a soldering iron now I I think it's fair say

that if you speak to my boys especially my oldest boy who's been present for

some of my soldering escapades I've gone through a few soldering irons over

my time (old ones packed away at the moment) and I havn't unpacked all the tools.

my current soldering iron is something like 20 watt handheld I've had the gun

type that when you pull the trigger the tip then heats up I'm ..... it always

tends to be really frustrating to use so my son's girlfriend Catherine... she very

kindly bought this for me for my birthday

and I appreciate that very much because This things 60-watt so it has some sleep

modes and put it together necessarily but I'll just have a little cheeky plug in

and see what happens well we know what happens.. it'll get hot

but I just want to look at this display to see what we get with a display so

what digital display on the front there

we got a lock on the sensor say temp 90 and then it turns just get out I'm not

sure if you can see that so well thank you showing goes up to 480 it's got

typically an area obviously hydrater spun just one of those and suck the

moisture out of it top sponges and there's a button here to lock the

temperature so even if you turn the dial temperature stays the same so that is

excellent it's getting hot already heats up quite quickly as well so yeah a good

haul of tools for my birthday which I'm really pleased with got plans for quite

a few videos coming up over the next few weeks one I'm going to be talking about

is lifetime warranties of tool companies especially machine Mart in the UK which

I did not have a good experience with yesterday with a lifetime set of

screwdrivers so I'm going to talk about that I want to go through all the

projects I've got coming up with the mr2 and yeah so good stuff exciting times

for me because my workshop coming to a close that means of course

somewhere fixed to be able to do my filming and things so I shall be able to

output more videos than I have done previously

so I'm going to wrap this up now thanks for watching hope everybody finds

themselves fit and well and looking forward to the holiday season and

Christmas and all that kind of thing so thanks for watching and I'll see you on

the next one

you
