Those paper yoyos started so many fights with my brothers. Getting smacked in the back of the head with one of those was like the touching of boxers gloves. Good times
The moment i found this young gentleman, i immediately thought of my grandpa, im pretty sure that he reminds most of us of our grandparents too.....long live king
This man just seems like the most incredible grandpa. Imagine him coming home from a long trip to wherever to check out new toys. You just know he would bring back the best gifts and tell the best stories!!
I really enjoy Tim's enthusiasm for sharing his collection and I'm continually impressed by the variety of themes for the videos they produce for youtube. Great work.
8:45 man, I had a lot of those as a kid... I think my dad bought them at a garage sale and I could never figure out what the heck I was supposed to do with them. They confused and enraged me and made me want to go play with sticks! :P
Might sound a little bit weird, but I consider Tim to be a grandpa of mine. I never met either of my grandfathers and if I ever did, I think the comfort Tim makes me feel through these videos would be the same feeling I'd feel with my granpapas. Thanks Tim, for making me feel not so lonely whenever I need it over the years.
1:20 - It's not a bit of fun - I have one ! The pen is its second function. It's primary function is being a pocket pointer - for when you're stood in front of a white board, projector screen or whatever and you want to point out specific things to 'class'.
the telescopic magnet is worth its weight in gold in the crash repair / mechanics industry when you drop a screw, nut or bolt in an engine bay or car's frame etc
The sound of those corrugated plastic tubes expanding & contracting was so distinctive & familiar that it trigged some feelings of nostalgia - though I can't recall the exact details, I'm pretty sure my brother had one...
2:00 For me, that is a reality in relation to my Uncle. He always has a telescopic fork on him to play around with. He loves pulling a few pranks and jokes on his nephews XD
That telescoping wand with just a magnet on the end that was shown alongside the cutlery is very often used to fish things out of engine bays when they get loose from messy or shaky hands. Very useful little devices.
I used to have a Spider with a piece of rubber similar to the one in the snake tongue, but It worke like a spring. It was connected with a wire to a little squishy balloon, and when you pressed It, It made the spring move, and the spider jumped, scaring people. I loved It. Its amazing how little contraptions can be so fun
My father has such a telescopic pen. He told me that it is ment to be used as a pointer for presentations so if you have a big map projected on the screen you can use it to show the audience where you are right now for example.
very very nice to see your back in your studio the covid-19 pandemic was pretty rough for me and you I can imagine tim thank you for helping me get through it with a smile we love you keep up the good work
I remember my grandfather had one of those telescopic magnets when I was younger and my Dad used to buy them as well too. It was really fun to play with
does extendable pens are also used for few another purposes. - simplist was a pointer for a chalkboard or other board. tip was typically white. - My dad used to use them at a gas utility company to light pilots. the entire staff used them too. you take the pen ink/tip insert out. you put a wooden match into the end. you could light the match and reach it into a gas appliance and light the pilot light. keeps your hand away from the burner flame. can also use them to light things like a barbecue grill
sometimes they would also take the pen insert out once it was no longer of use and salary alligator clip onto the end. same purpose use a match to light something remotely but not getting your fingers anywhere near the flame
I remember the good days of RU-vid when it was toy reviews and stuff, not bad Elsa and spider esc kids videos. Tim, you have fulfilled the true duty of youtube my friend. Thank you :) Edit: grammar.
The telescopic magnet is more so for mechanics. So should you drop a bolt and it doesn't fall onto the ground, you use a telescopic mirror to find it and the magnet to get it back.
I used the old pool filter tubes I was wondering if there were other things smaller that made the same noise so I learned something else from this other than that all these cool things exist.
