Welcome aboard, is there anything you’d like to see me tackle specifically?

Thanks mate, what stood out to you?

Thanks for the info!

Keep me in the loop as your workshop progresses! Love seeing a dialled in workshop!

That’s a great idea actually, why didn’t think of that?

Glad you enjoy it Adam! Really feel like I’m hitting my stride with the videos! Is there anything you’d like to see me tackle next?

@@ShadowFoam I feel although it’s an absolute rabbit warren, the ‘Really Useful Box Co.’ could be a mad series idea to go at! Because the sizes are widely available from what I know worldwide (could be wrong?) so your ideas for doing inserts etc could be used internationally 🤷🏼‍♂️😊

Wow what a collection you have! 😳

It is, but we have a little more than the shipping cost added. Generally on an item that may be £120 in store, we can pay as much as £165 online, Costco in the UK like to rip its customers off whenever they can. Our membership is also now extortionately high, Executive membership this year went up to over £70.

@@melvinphillips786 That's interesting on the shipping. I wonder the reason. With regards to the Executive Membership, 70 pounds is equal to roughly 88 dollars here, and our Executive membership has been $120 for many years at this point and rumored to go higher, so it's much more expensive here. I can't speak to how it works in other countries, but just to let you know from someone who has worked there much longer than expected, Costco has always been a solid company where reputation is everything to them, and one thing you can count on is that they are never looking for ways to rip you off. Someone might beat them on a price from time to time, usually because they are selling it below their cost, but Costco has never been known for trying to take advantage of its members, one of the reasons people feel comfortable shopping there. When most companies have an item to sell, they wonder, How much can we sell this for? Costco's philosophy has always been, How can we sell this for less? And trust me I'm not trying to stick up for Costco because I work there. I've been there almost 30 years, and I've always hated working retail. This is not the career path I expected to take in life, but I have to be honest about them at the same time. I know from being in management there long enough that I have sat in countless meetings where they talk about assuring they maintain high standards and to never let that change. They are well aware of many large corporations who seemed to big to fail that ended up falling one day to their death anyways, and they work exceedingly hard to make sure they won't be the next one. Just wanted to give you a brief look inside what goes on behind closed doors.

Keep me in the loop with how that project goes! 👌

Similar to an idea we are developing for a future video! Stay tuned! 👀

Thanks mate, appreciate you! 👍

Thanks for the tip! 👍

Came on here to see if anybody had mentioned this little known pro tip for locking the chucks , looks like I was beaten to it. Not all drills etc do this only the quality ones. As stated once tight turn the chuck back the opposite direction a few degrees you will feel it lock

Fantastic! What do you put in the little drawer?

@@ShadowFoam I would put in a 3/8 socket set, 3/6 ratchet, 1/2 rachet and maybe the caliper piston tool if it fits. LOL Ofc I want it all in Shadow Foam

Oh: we also have crafting supplies like hand sewing, painting, crochet and knitting, and a lot of pens. Fountain pens, bottled ink, notebooks, and a drawer full of various dog things. And about 40 spice jars and packets.

Haha that does sound a challenge! Let me know in the future when I announce my US ideas

What project are you starting with?

@@ShadowFoam I am going start on the DeWalt items, batteries and charger in the TSTAK organiser as I share batteries across many power tools.

Thanks for the info Ben! 👍

@@ShadowFoamgreat videos by the way. Recently found your channel love the tool hauls.

That sounds like a fun project! I’d love to see that, let me know if you get onto it 👍

Definitely, they are so versatile! Let me know if you do as I’d love to see some pictures

Not used Metabo miling tools personally, but you’ve peaked my interest now

Haha I was tempted to use it as a drinks storage drawer

The hotdogs are incredible aren’t they? And suffice to say my first time they went exactly the same way as yours

Very lucky with my local Costco although I do want to compare it against one in the US

Thanks mate, which version of monopoly?

Might be worth putting it to a test more intense than my Shadow Foam test 😂

Looks like a half decent tool, been looking for a cheap drill I can leave in the car just in case instead of taking my makita

Please do! I thought it was a good deal for what you got!

Congratulations Malcolm, you are the WINNER of our Costco Monopoly set! Please drop us an email at m.wood@shadowfoam.com with your details and we shall send it out immediately!

Think it’s seasonal, I should check it out in Summer!

Ooh Lala indeed mon amie, what are the pieces in that game?

the same excepy one piece was eiffel tower

Can’t complain with that, do you have any tools?

I have the exact same heat gun (minus the ShadowFoam logo ;) ) that I bought years ago specifically to keep in my tool box to carry for heat shrink :). AC Mains and only complaint is the lead is a little too short.

I couldn’t agree more, however my Ryobi tools were busy being used on this Fridays video 👀

Big question is though, have you organised that kit yet?

​@@ShadowFoamYes indeed, all my cordless tools and batteries are loosely arranged in a stacked toolbox system, with plenty of gaps for everything to rattle and clatter about. I can't imagine any way to improve on this. 🤔

Thanks Mandy! Which tool stood out to you?

@@ShadowFoam the DeWalt. We have quite a few Dewalt tools and love the Tstack system. I know we will be ordering some of your foam to improve our system layout

It’s become a daily use in my workshop since buying it!

Good deal that! 👌

@@ShadowFoam yea a thought so.

Yes they are

That is a great deal!

That would be cool, thanks for the suggestion!

Yes it will.

I see no reason why it wouldn’t 👍

I like the sound of that! What model drill is it?

@@ShadowFoam it's the DCD791 I bought it in a kit with the impact driver DCF887 (in witch you can choose level of impact)

I agree mate, you get a lot for the price! 👍

They had a Bosch Multitool that I already had, currently working on a big Bosch project, stay tuned 👀

I’ll have to give them a closer look 👀

Sounds scary Ray, are you sure you're alright after going that high up mate?

Couldn’t agree more mate! 👍

Hahaha worth an ask isn’t it Tom? Drop me an email at Jonathan@shadowfoam.com and I’ll give you a discount code 👍

You sir are more awesome than you know ❤

Let me know how you get on with them! 👍

@@ShadowFoam I must have around 8 sets of Hole Saws, but the only ones I ever use now if possible is the Bosch Quick Change ones. So So much better to use. Oh.. little tip I found for when you have the Saw jammed onto the Arbor on the 'normal' hole saw kits ... Put it onto an Impact Drill and have a go on a piece of scrap wood - that impact vibration loosens it up again! tried this on a set that had the Arbor stuck on for over a year and freed in seconds!

Absolutely! It was dead comfy too tbf 👍

Thanks mate! Mine were too so I decided to do this and get them organised!

Thanks mate, appreciate that!

Recorded this in late November 2023

What deal did you get?

@@ShadowFoam The 6 peace kit for £789 from Screwfix, it's back up to £899 & just picked up the orbital sander to add to it from Toolstation for £80

14 sets wow! What’s your favourite set of Monopoly?

Doesn’t look like it mate

Fingers crossed mate!

Agree with you mate, what’s your hometown?

@@ShadowFoam High Wycombe, but reside in Windsor now 👍🏻

Not tried it yet but I see what you mean! 👍

I don’t recall picking them up at Costco

Fingers crossed you are the lucky winner!

Yours doesn't!?

What makes you say that?

For the price and Stanley I feel are worth the money, plus you said that all the extra bits in kits are just to make up the numbers.

It’s available online over in the USA

Haha that’s tickled me that!

This was my local Costco in the UK

Stay tuned 👀

Thanks for the info!

Highly underrated comment! Same goes for the higher voltage batteries like 40v and 80v. Ryobi has their 18v batteries listed as such but their 40v is just two 18v together and matches any other 36v tool.

You know me! I was tempted to make a shadow foam insert for the ladder 😂

What sets do you have?

@@ShadowFoam we have normal, junior, cheaters edition, Disney, game of thrones, empire, simpsons, elf, secret vault, Christmas edition, Edinburgh and only fools and horses edition.

What happened?

Near enough yeah which surprised me tbh

Near enough yeah which surprised me tbh

Well probably made in the same factories, it is all just Black & Decker, that designates the labels.@@ShadowFoam

Dare I ask what the rail stations are for those? 😂

@@ShadowFoam Unfortunately the Deadpool ones are not as risky as I would prefer. They are the Deadpool logo, an 'okay' hand, a Deadpool bomb, a unicorn, a taco, and a chef’s hat. Ya, pretty sure Hasbro had a hand in control this. SO many other items that could have been used. The most risky is the unicorn... Disappointing. The Iron Maiden one made more sense and has the Guitar Amp Stack, Steve’s Bass, Nicko’s Drum Kit, Albatross, Flying Helmet, and Wasted Years Computer from the video. It was made by a different company so they did a better job.

Find anything good in there?

Who is the struggler?

Not too late at all! We’ll drop you into the tombola and we are announcing winners next Friday 👀

What makes you say that?
