Tim Tim Tim Tim Tim. I have that exact bronze hammer, and if you grab the large handle and twist it a large flat screwdriver will unscrew from the hammer
@@Humbugmsm i later learned the flat blade has a Phillips screw driver inside of it, as well as a smaller flat screwdriver inside the phillip, and an even smaller one inside that one.
Tim reminds me of one of my engineering professors who has many gadgets and collectables of his own including a little engine powered by heat from a cup of tea and a revolver sawn in half.
amishgable I don't think it's hoarding when you neatly store everything away and it's not piling up anywhere. For example, I put away my NERF blasters that I collect. so they don't pile up and get in the way.
theboarman Well if you keep attacking me on a personal level, I'll just file a suit. That way you really learn never to do that again. www.rethinkwords.com/
I've got the same set of nesting screwdrivers, except they go into a fourth, larger screwdriver, rather than a hammer. So much utility stored in what would have been otherwise wasted space!
This gentleman is delightful to watch and listen to. Love to hear his fascination and enjoyment as he describes the various items in his vast collections. Delightful.
My grandpa had one as well. He was an electrical engineer, I'd always assumed he got it at a trade show, perhaps in Germany or similar. Lovely little thing.
I have one, very similar, he didn't take out the larger screwdriver screwed into the base of the hammer. It's not a super useful hammer/screwdriver, but neat nonetheless.
Brass hammers are often used in gunsmithing or metalwork, when you need to hammer a delicate piece of metal without scratching/damaging it, a brass hammer, because it is softer, will do the job without any scratches.
I am a 75 year old automotive mechanic, I believe I started work at 4 years old taking things apart and such wondering why. There was no tool or gadget in you little presentation I had not seen or owned or knew what it was straight away, other than the chocolate piece. I don’t know why I watched the entire video But because we, you and I for 10 minutes or so were little boys and you were showing me your good treasure. Thank you.

I've been watching your videos for a while now, Tim, and one overwhelming question I have is: Where do you keep all these marvellous toys, gadgets and whimsies? You must need a lot of space for everything (I assume you personally keep samples of stuff that you sell as well?)
Alright, so I am going to create a donation site for Tim so we can get him his complete army knife. Once I am told this has 10 likes, I will make it and post a link!
Parallel pliers are fanstastic for jewelry, as they're less likely to slip or scratch wire or other jewelry bits. I've been wanting to make myself a nonmarring/brass jaw set for a while. Those universal/pin socket tools unfortunately don't work very well, the idea seems sound but in reality they are easily damaged or gummed up with dirt and tend to slip when putting a lot of torque on a bolt. That brass hammer tool is awesome for a variety of reasons, but the typical use of a brass hammer is when one needs to avoid damaging a steel part. My university had a number of combination brass hammer/wrenches that were used to adjust the draw bars on the milling machines. The draw bar tends to bind up when the tool is tightened, so they were very helpful in freeing the tool without damaging the machine.
the "pin" socket at 4:30 is sold as a Gator Socket in US. handy to have in kitchen drawer or in socket set. Grabs odd size bolt you don't have socket for and also rounded off bolt heads .
+Alexander Shekhtman Thatb it is, been in my junk/tool drawer for years now. The hammer is perfect for hanging stuff, or popping in little nails in a cabinet and such. Nothing to heavy duty. The old lady loves it, she always threatens to paint it pink because i find myself using it so much for some reason.
Hi Tim, yes, a lot of screwdrivers are magnetised to help find a lost screw and also to help hold the screw when positioning it for placement. Also, there's some very nice multitool key rings out there.
Those parallel pliers are excellent tool in leatherwork. They don't have "teeth", so grabbing a stuck needle does not make marks on them. I myself have a good alternative for them - they are dentist's pliers which have smooth surface, originally they are designed for fine-tuning the wires of dentures as far as I know.
i have a gator grip on my tool board in my garage. it's possibly the most handy item in my collection! very pleased to see you have one as well, even if you don't use it.
His little chuckle at the end of every video makes my day.

i recall that it’s also a specific hammer for when you need a nonferrous hammer, so it’s not exactly as useless as thought
4:21 "It works very well" then that quiet "I never used it" killed me XD XD XD
Thanks for pointing that out! I would have missed it. XD
God I love this man, it feels like listening to my grandpa talking about things. It's just so wholesome

Fun fact about brass and bronze tools, they are used in high hazard areas as they do not create sparks when used.

Tim is the grandfather I never had, and I wish I had.
The brass hammer actually has one more screwdriver in it. It´s the biggest one, slot driver and it disconnects by the flat part of the handle.

It's always fun to listen to someone who is excited about the material they are presenting. Very engaging series. I Look forward to viewing them all!
Tim is that cool substitute teacher that lets you stand by the door before the bell rings
What a bright gentleman! And the show is wonderful.
Tim has some strange friends.
“Hey Tim can you look after my glass hammer, no questions asked?”
I really enjoy Tims attention to detail. Thank you for such wonderful content. :)
Brass hammers are often used in gunsmithing or metalwork, when you need to hammer a delicate piece of metal without scratching/damaging it, a brass hammer, because it is softer, will do the job without any scratches.
Or in environments where you can’t risk a spark
Tim is an engineer!? Man things are just getting more interesting by the minute!

You and James May from the BBC need to do a video together.
Tim and David Attenborough should narrate a documentary together, i love both of their voices. Very soothing...
Yes
Lazy House Cat Tim and May sorting, cleaning, and explaining tools. Narrated by Attenborough. Could bring peace in the Middle-East!
That’s what I thought
Watching Tim gets rid of my anxiety. Thanks Tim!

ASMR videos are also good at that.
Que hacés aquí vos Pablito?
Its c 137 not 137 c
Honestly same
the videos calm down totally. just starting to watch them against anxiety of all kind 😊
If I had a terminal illness my last wish would be to hang out with Tim and his toys for a afternoon.
It be so cool.
Damn it tim, is this an asmr channel in disguise, because I always get goosebumps and relaxation

The one with the sink-in pins is now marketed on facebook ads as a new invention
Oh my God, a couple of the tools shown here are absolute genius. How are they not standard?
It took Tim 5 tries until he finally insert the screwdriver inside the hole at 5:34
yes
His humor is quaint and makes me feel like there are still good people. love the videos. 🎩
brass hammers are used when a spark could ignite something
my thoughts exactly, alongside needing a nonferrous hammer for working around magnetic fields
Some people could only dream to have a passion for something as strong as Tim has for his toys.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, Tim, and one overwhelming question I have is: Where do you keep all these marvellous toys, gadgets and whimsies? You must need a lot of space for everything (I assume you personally keep samples of stuff that you sell as well?)
Joanne Gray - BBC interviewed him and it shows some of the places he stores stuff
Keep The toys in the nail!
