Not all old tools are created equal — some are forgotten relics, while others are hidden gems of engineering history. In this deep dive, we explore what separates valuable antique tools from everyday tat, helping you understand the craftsmanship, rarity, and stories that give certain pieces lasting worth. Featuring real-world examples and expert insights, this guide will sharpen your eye for spotting true treasures, whether you're a collector, a restorer, or just curious about the legacy left in steel and brass.

In our latest blog post we delve into the value of investing in high-quality tools. While acknowledging the initial expense, we highlight the long-term benefits such as increased efficiency, reduced tool requirements, and enhanced precision. We emphasise that quality tools can streamline workflows and minimise frustrations, ultimately leading to better results in both professional and hobbyist projects.

In our latest blog post, we share our visit to the Leeds Industrial Museum during the "Engineery" exhibit, celebrating the 300th anniversary of John Smeaton, the "Father of Civil Engineering." The museum, housed in a 16th-century wool mill, showcases a rich history of textile manufacturing and industrial innovation.

We're excited to pull back the curtain on how we transformed a vintage Baumann-Weltrecord ratchet screwdriver into the modern MetMo Driver.

We took a deep dive into the roots of the classic Baumann‑Weltrecord ratchet screwdriver in our latest post, Take a Drive Down MetMo‑ry Lane. We tracked its origin back to the early 1900s, uncovering original patents and designs that paved the way for our modern take on this legendary tool.

At MetMo, we believe that great design is timeless. Our latest creation, the MetMo Grip, is a testament to this philosophy. Drawing inspiration from classic engineering tools, we've reimagined the grip to offer a modern, ergonomic experience without compromising on its rich heritage. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the MetMo Grip seamlessly blends form and function, making it an essential addition to any workspace.
