Antique stores are littered up and down the country, and to me are really a secret haven for some hidden gems when it comes to vintage tools! My challenge was simple - craft a tool kit containing all the essential tools needed in a tool kit with just £100! It may sound simple, but trust me, we are in for one massive challenge!

As a 75 year old I love the older type tools. You seem to have found a new source of bits and pieces I can by where quality counts.

I would definitly go for the high street toolkit, mainly because of the cordless drill.

Just found this channel, loved the two "Toolkit challenge" videos. The seller seemed like they would rather their stuff sit on the shelf for another 5+ years instead of knocking a few quid off for a bulk sale. Hope they enjoy their prices getting devalued through inflation, all while they are paying their monthly cabinet rental. Mad!

Nice to see someone use a Gerber knife! Is that the Armbar? I love these videos. Would be very interested in a First Time Home Owner kit. Budget of say £250-£500 with all the absolute essentials for someone who has just moved into their own home. Especially if you mention tools that people DON’T need too! Love the videos! Cheers mate!

Old tools like this remind me so much of when I was growing up and I used to get all these kinds of tools for my own use as that’s all I could afford growing up and now they still adorn my boxes and are used frequently- still the best tools made. And my daily driver tape measure is an old steel 6’ Lufkin Rule Co. One that my Great, Great Uncle had and it works better then most new ones do still. Great video and I hope your able to find a Robertson screw driver set while you in the US even though there mostly Canadian. Take care
