Thanks to Zarges for sending this beautiful case and incredibly thoughtful contents! Learn more about their cases at zargesusa.com/

Seriously thoughtful gift from a business, for real. You can tell they're fans.

I appreciate that this box wasn't sent just for self promotion but it's a well thought out gift and signals genuine appreciation for Adam

That's how you do a promotional gift! It's not just full of promotional stuff, it's been packed with items specifically for Adam, ideas they only could've gotten by actually watching his videos, showing they are actually fans of his as well!

That is so thoughtful, and wonderfully laid out, they caught each element of Adams personality in this gift, starting with the box, and that lighter was the cherry on top.

I’ve never seen a company send a more thoughtful gift to someone, very cool.

You deserve every positive experience you are given after everything you have given us during our childhood and now adult hood. Cheers Adam

Normally I'd be upset if someone made Adam cry but in this case (see what I did there). Well done sirs, well done

Of course, Adam can spin in his stool and two seconds later have a bottle of butane for his lighter. He really does have EVERYTHING. Happy Holidays to Adam and everyone at @tested.🎅 🎄🎁

I love a great unboxing, and this is simply a live letter to Adam's personal favorites.

That is a gift to the core. If I were Adam I would go buy 100 cases, from them, for this gift.

Dearest Adam. You have been a huge part of my life for almost half of it. You have been an entertainer, a source for good and safe knowledge and a wonderful teacher. You totally deserve the gifts your fans send you. I only wish I were rich so I could curate a box of memories to send you. Thank you for being here, being real, being you. Happy first day of Hanukkah to my Jewish friends. Happy holidays!

this is the kinda thing that makes me like a company it shows they care about their customers as much as their products.

Adam your enthusiasm for products and ideas is infectious. You can tell when someone has done there homework on getting you a gift.

It’s a beautiful case! Good job zarges! Someone over there is a fan.

Adam, I often forget that you are only 5 months older than me when I in fact look up to you so much for your skills and enthusiasm. I feel like I learn something from you in almost every video of yours I watch. As you describe your childhood, I sometimes feel like I'm listening to my childhood. We just went on different paths. I too was into models and kit bashing them in the 80's. I don't think I even heard of that term until years later. And, I was interested in movie special effects back then, but I honestly think I was more interested in being a stunt man, LoL. I didn't pursue any of that because I followed my other dream, to join the military. The US Navy. Now, many years later, I'm a 100% disabled Veteran (not complaining. If I had it to do all over again, I would) who enjoys woodworking, building models, customizing 1/64 scale diecast cars (Hot Wheels and such), building dioramas, and photography. I photograph the sports teams at the school my wife works at and give the photos to the school and the students. One of these days I need to upgrade my equipment, but I'll get there. It's just a joy to see the kids faces when they see themselves in print. They are superstars. I feel like your videos are helpful towards my hobbies in so many ways. Thank you so much for sharing your Experience, Talent and Enthusiasm with us. You are always a joy to watch. God bless you.

Man those guys at Zarges nailed it :)

I LOVE giving a gift when you just nail it and the person is overwhelmed and emotional. Not always expensive, just being thoughtful and finding THE right thing. Well done Zarges folk, impressive efforts👍🏻😎

I can't afford them right now, but I've had my eyes om some Zarges ever since I saw Adam talk about them. I've always wanted some aluminium cases, and with Adam's recommendation, Zarges is IT. Especially the collapsible ones! Pricey, but am totally gonna get some when I can afford it, all thanks to Adam showing them.❤👍

“Oh you know that I’m going to make this work” a pure expression of just why I enjoy watching these videos

One of Adam's best quotes: "That is James Bond shit right there." Be careful, Adam. The old lighter rabbit hole (collecting them and making them work) is long and cavernous. So many designs from nations and companies all over the world. It's an amazing hobby.

for everyone interested Zarges is a German brand, producing in Europe. They are also known to build ladders and scaffolding. But their quality is pricy

Wow, what an incredible gift. I have no words. This goes to show you Adam, you have touched so many people with your authenticity and your genuine passion for making and the people you inspire. You sir, deserve it.

Now I'm super excited about the inevitable Adam visit to their facility.

So cool to see something from our birth year. Thank you for sharing this with us Adam!! Happy Holidays!!

Adam, you are such a kid. It's a joy to watch you get over the moon over the things that you love!! Your enthusiasm continues to inspire others!

When the 12 year old kids enthusiasm stays with Adam as an adult !😄😄🤩🤩😎😎

almost made me tear up when adam was talking about the lighter and how it is his birth year. just a little cute thing and it is exactly the sort of object i would think adam would love and appreciate. so sweet

Heck, even I started to tear up. That’s such a sweet gift! thought through, well packaged and super surprising

I loved to see that real smile from you Adam. the gift really touched and made you happy and it was written all over your face! Happy Holidays!!

Holy crap. This is insane! I honestly got a tear in my eye when is saw the Bundaberg... Damn man.... 😢

I enjoy it when Adam is in overwhelmingly happy little boy mode.

It’s nice for the fans to get to see you open something they wanted you to have. I enjoy seeing what people send.

This is unbelievably cute. I love how wholesome you are Adam.

Adam , you are a amazing and genuine man. It would be awesome just to spend a day listening to your stories.

I am in Charlotte NC. You may have helped me answer my traveling stackable boxes. Those look amazing. Thank you for showing us the wonder of Zarges. They did an outstanding job on your box.

What a wonderful present. You deserve it, Adam.

Making an insert to hold a bunch of poker chips, a small table top poker mat and some prop money would make it a cool kit for a poker night and ode to the movie that had adam fall in love with the cases

That's a very thoughtful gift. You definitely deserve it Adam :)

Me wanting a Zarges isn't because its a great product, but because the people behind it are thoughtful and took the time to make a special gift to Adam.

Wow...how is that for brilliant marketing...conception, execution and expectations all exceeded.

Double likes on this video. It’s awesome to see someone show that much interest in another person. Simply astounding when it’s a company that goes that extra mile. Merry Christmas!

I love your genuine enthusiasm for cases and crates

Just watched this never having heard of Zarges, and my kids happened to be watching The Avengers in the other room. When Cap breaks into the storage area on the helicarrier, the room is full of Zarges cases. The are beauties.

When Adam gets happy and sentimental we all do

I've been told that I'm an amazing gift giver, and I just want to say that no one tells you what they really want when you ask them, even if they think they do. They tell you what they really want when you hear them complaining about something, or when they're struggling with something. Because that gift shows not only that you understand what they want/need, but also that you care enough to pay attention to recognize their needs. For example, I just heard my mom gush about her friend's onion container (we recently did a kitchen renovation and our onions are currently stored in a bowl in a cupboard), so I recommended my brother look into it, since he's still doing his shopping.

You should make the plutonium case that Doc has from Back to Future out of that case.

That has to be one of the best gifts ever! Real thought went into that and it obviously hit the spot for you Adam. Love Zarges boxes, I've half a dozen for expedition/camping kit, such a versatile design. That foam infil would probably cost as much as a box too!

I bought 15 Zarges cases for photo gear, overlanding, and props because of your captain america video. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zarges because Adam introduced them.

Your joy is palpable. Thanks for sharing.

When I was in the military (in Norway) we used Zarges aluminum crates and cases for damn near everything. one day I stumbled across a Zarges step ladder, and it was one of those things you dont expect something to be so good, like a rolex of step ladders, it looks like any other step ladder just like a rolex looks just like a watch. i realize a step ladder is a weird thing to obsess over but i think its just one of those things you have to be there to experiance.

That story about forgetting why you bought a taxidermied fish is absolutely hilarious. I don't think Tested has ever made me laugh out loud like that before.

The only thing equal to being Adam Savage could be sending him such a totally useful, thoughtful and also personal gift , kudos to Zarges and their employees 🙂

My heart is full of the spirit of giving as a result of this video / AMAZING in-depth gift from Zarges - kudos and mad respect to all involved!

This is one of my all time favorite kinds of videos. Much like the Bunderberg rootbeer one where they honored you out of the blue. These are the universe giving you a gracious wink, and a knowing knod. True gifts.

what a lovely thoughtful present, and gifts, well done,

Extremely thoughtful gift… Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!!!

That tray on the table behind him caught my eye. I have a set of those photography trays. They're nice enameled steel trays. I still develop film, but if I ever quit, I'd use those trays around the shop too.

I am not a builder, but I find these videos entertaining and informative. But this one is something special - I find it surprisingly heartwarming.

Im most impressed that Adam stood up and 2 seconds later he had the right size screwdriver and a can of lighter fluid. It would take me about a beer, beer and a half to find all that in my shop.

Wow they really did their homework, that’s impressive. If I ever have need I’ll definitely consider Zarges. I also love the design of those cases but don’t, at the moment, have any need for one. But should I, I will.

The grin on your face when the lighter lit up made my day hahaha

Just wanted to say that it appears things are going well for you. I'm glad. I hope you have many joy filled years to come!

What a seriously lovely gesture. Also, I was shocked by how dangerously affordable their cases are.

I always learn something I can use as a builder and a luthier! Thanks for being cool Adam!

The temporary tattoos are brilliant. I hope you sell millions of them.

I had never heard of Zarges before, but I certainly know it now. This was certainly a very thoughtful gift from the heart, and it clearly shows. Especially the case looks excellent, and very well made, rugged, and dependable. Well done, Zarges.

Now I wanna see a duet reaction video from the crew at Zarges, specifically whoever found (and I'm pretty sure cleaned and tested) the lighter. I can imagine the utter joy they felt watching Adam exclaim "You *know* that I'm gonna make this work!"...

Adam, you have been seen 👀 The people at ZARGES are very thoughtful. 🎄

This gives me ideas for projects. Also, stacked cases can make for impromptu side tables.

Zarges, Fantastic boxes, I must have over 30 of them in various sizes as well as one as a coffee table, their large one, that is a nice set. Enjoy

A perfect gift is a mix of the giver and the giftee. This is an awesome example.

I just love your joy Adam. Positively sparkly! Happy holidays to you and yours! x I will cheers to you with my Bundy Ginger beer, also my fave.

someone knew what they were doing when they put this together. its a really lovely package.

Sweet gift, the best gifts come as a surprise and with the things that mean something to the person that receives it. Great job Zarges

That's awesome! Will have to look into them for my case needs with my RC hobby.

That is a company with heart, good on you Zarges, I might have to get some cases when I get my shop.☺

This is what I love about this channel, I never knew that existed before and now I almost want one. Information to be filed to the back of my memory for when needed. I also guess I'm not alone there's been a few things I've ordered and I'm like I know I ordered that for a project but I don't have any idea what I was going to build with it. I keep reminding myself I need to make a note of what I'm planning to build when I order it. Which wouldn't be hard I'm already taking the tracking numbers and throwing them in a text file so I can keep track of what I've ordered.

Adam, as a huge longtime fan from Charlotte, North Carolina, I do hope you come visit and enjoy your stay here in the Queen City. I'm pleased to learn that Zarges is based here, i didn't know Charlotte was home to such a fine pedigree of excellence. I recommend you try and come in early spring, it's particularly lovely when the flowers bloom, prior to our annual Pollenpocalypse and when what we call spring turns to hot, muggy, and humid midsommar (know you love that movie) in the blink of an eye. You're gonna want to get some good NC barbecue while you're in town! Also if you're in Raleigh, you're gonna want to pronounce it Raw-lee not Rally so as not to upset the locals 😉

Zarges went above and beyond for Adam

I lived in Charlotte a few years, beware attempting to navigate the roads, virtually every road in Charlotte is named "Queens" for some reason :-).

It's nice to see Adam so excited.

A good carry case should have a few dings in it. Shows its used and well traveled

man! you need to have an Adam's lost/forgot stuff! auction !!

The thing with Zarges cases is that you don’t need to be picky about age - normally. They are so robust that 20-40 year old cases are just fine if you don’t mind Patina from their previous life… A good source are auctions for government surplus, especially in Europe (widely used by firefighters, police and military). Airlines and Railways are a good source too. I have 4 used cases myself: 1 Bundeswehr, 2 Lufthansa, 1 Deutsche Bahn - all with embossed Logos and Department names.

Eagerly awaiting the now-inevitable "How Zarges makes their AMAZING cases!" video on this channel.

Marketing geniuses! But obviously thoughtful fans as well.

Sure, it's a promotion, but how nice to make it so personal. Someone's put some real thought into that, gone out and sourced the gifts, and then cut foam to house them. What a shame the couriers couldn't treat it with respect. I noticed one of the edges was a bit banged up too. I don't know who handled your delivery, but I've found that UPS and DHL seem to go out of their way to make sure your packages arrive in the worst possible shape. Happy holidays Adam, and the rest of the Tested team. Thanks for your constant dedication to producing interesting content.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode 😍geniuses are human 👍

that's an awesome gift from them. Never heard of them until now but I'll remember them for that.

*8:27**...something worthy of the new and sparkley Zarges case?...foreshadowing teaser for yet another epic one day build*

We used Zarges boxes for decades in disaster and counterterrorism response. There's no better combination of light weight, space efficiency, and durability. They aren't quite as bombproof as pelican cases, but the seriously lower weight and better interior volume, and better nesting and maximizing cube space with multiple units makes a big difference.

Ginger Beer at Xmas is traditional here in Oz. It gets hot so us kids grew up on Ginger Beer while the adults got that other beer. That's still my favourite brand.

When I was a kid my mother thought I obsessed with boxes, any box didn't matter. 60 years later I realize she was right.

Lovely cases, more expensive stuff I didn't know I needed, thanks. :D I haven't been game to check the shipping cost to Australia yet . . .

That was a super sweet gift! Well done Zarges folks!

That fish story is absolutely hilarious!

thanks for sharing this I sat here in my home and felt just like I was receiving it myself 😊

Happy Holidays, Adam.

That is so cool. I live in Charlotte and have probably driven by their place and never realized who they were. Happy Holidays, Adam!!
