Old tools from the UK- Box one

During the process of building Ben's new workshop we were forced to empty our 'silver' shed of it's entire contents so it could be relocated. Hidden right at the back were 5 dusty steel ammo boxes from the UK - boxes that contained the majority of the hand tools we managed to gather together when we left for New Zealand - under the circumstances we didn't have much time to pack. As a result much of what I owned was left behind & ultimately lost which was such a shame.
For me & many mechanics I have worked with would agree tools that you have owned for a long time often carry with them memories. Some specal project, roadside repair, late night bodge or personal injury!! These tools to me carry many stories of my past in the UK so join me in unearthing the past....
Enjoy
Andy

Thanks - much prefer this style of video.

[@connork5339]

Sure is going to take some time to sort out all those tools, but it is like Christmas time with all the nice surprises waiting in the amo boxes. You can never have too many tools. Cheers Andy.

Andy, you're the boss... the first of your videos I ever watched taught me how to fully service my mazda demio. Cheers, bud. I've been subscribed ever since.

Thanks Kenrick, appreciate your support. It seems so long ago now that I started the channel, been quite a journey & still so much to do but it's great to see the videos helping so many people.
All the best
Andy

Looks like my socket box of misc tools 😂

[@steveclark..]

Never throw away any tools, worn out impact sockets can be used to press out bearings etc for example.

[@AndyMechanic]

Great call, yes, can certainly be re-purposed - I hate throwing things away, no wonder I struggle for storage space!
Cheers
Andy

[@simonrawle7885]

if anything the big sockets will do for pressing bearings in

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Andy you can get your gedore socket replaced it comes with a lifetime warranty

[@AndyMechanic]

Andy, what happened to the Myford lathe you started to do up. did you give up on it!

[@FREE_PUREBLOOD333]

My old best mates Dad used to work at Myfords in Beeston , Notts. Great British manufacturer back in the day. 🇬🇧👍

[@AndyMechanic]

No, not at all, just got put on hold. All stripped, most replacement parts now in hand. Plan to do the rebuild next year all going to plan :-)
Apologies for the long delay, just so many other projects had to get done with a deadline.
Cheers
Andy
