My first set of tools :D
on: January 04, 2013, 03:04:40 PM
I was working on a project in my workshop and was searching for some parts and stumbled onto these. My first tools i got when I was something like 6 years old :D (Yes, I was allowed to play with "real" sharp tools at that age, the horror :ahhh ) I have to find the pliers though that were in this set. I know I've seen them somewhere. :think: It brought back some fun memories. Do you have your first tools too? When did you start crafting your first projects?

My first tools were my first SAK, a Victorinox Camper that I still have.  It was my go to tool for everything for years, when I was working in watch repair to when I worked maintenance to when I worked security to when I worked as a driver and has been used for everything from food prep to emergency surgery, from fixing guns to car repairs.

I was well into my 20's when I started to get "normal" tools as I just used my father's for most things.

I had kiddie tool set too when I was about 8 or something  :think: I can remember horrifying my father when he caught me using the mallet and chisel for trying to carve a housebrick  :rofl: No one had told me there was a difference between chisels for wood and chisels for stone  :cry:

I got my first real tools at 13, though i had a leatherman or gerber on my belt at about 8.  My folks bought me a craftsman toolbox with a combo wrench set, screwdriver set, and socket set, all craftsman.  I still have everything and use it all.  A couple of the screwdrivers have been upgraded through warranty but everything else is there.

I love those Nikola, great set for a kid :D

I was allowed to use my stepdad's stuff which was fairly comprehensive so never had my own at that kind of age.

I went to carpentry/joinery college at 18 and had a full set of decent tools when I qualified form there. Still got nearly all of them as I look after them and keep them away from electricians :ahhh

I had a similar, small but real, set in my youth too, with saws etc... I have no idea whether they were lost, broken or given to someone else... 
I still have my first screwdriver though, Japanese "Champion" ; good as new and the best philips I have, or have had. It's next to me..  :D

I have 2 pieces left from my original set :(. The saw and a wooden mallet. I still use the saw as the size is good for small projects and it's still sharp :)
If I remember correctly, wait, what was I saying?

I think if you gave something like this to a 4yo today the do-gooders would try and have you locked up as an unfit parent.

I think you have to be 18 today to use a pencil sharpener. ;)
