  1. "Some random manufacturer claim" Project Farm: "We're going to test that!"

  2. "Responsibly made in China"? Nothing is responsibly made in China.

  3. People who have them told me they take a real long time to produce heat and don't work that well.

  4. Also, here in The Great Industrial Northeast, it's hard to have to put a couple of thousand dollars of repairs in a vehicle that is only worth a few hundred bucks just to get it to pass inspection.

  5. Years ago I had a flat bladed Craftsman screwdriver that I used for just about everything except a screwdriver. It was bought in the early 1970's when they were made in USA and made of pretty good steel. I used it for a pry bar, chisel, hammer, and knife. It was getting pretty worn so sometime in the 1990's, I took advantage of the lifetime warranty to get a new one. No problem. But the problem was the very first time that I went to use it on a stove bolt, the very thing it was designed to work on, it broke. Not only broke but the tip shattered. Got a new, new one but wish I had kept the old one and just regrinded the tip to fix it!

  6. Best thing about this channel is that it will be a very long time before he runs out of things to test.

  7. Red Green background noise! 😂

  8. Can't go wrong with stainless steel and cast iron. Teflon, or its contemporary equivalent, is something that wears off over time and flavors the food we eat out of them.

  9. @Jake Heke That's why they make pipe wrenches out of aluminum. After a day of lugging a cast iron one around, you would get pretty tired too. Not so much for the aluminum one. I wouldn't want to call any professional plumber a pansy.

  10. Man, that tractor was a good investment.

  11. If you don't own a business of your own, then you have no idea how many expenses are involved before you can even begin to make a profit.

  12. I have the old style Craftsman torque wrench with the indicator arm and handle that you have to keep centered. Got both foot pounds and inch pounds back in early 1970's. Takes a lot more patience to use them but work well.

  13. Hand up here.

  14. I bought the Milwaukee trimmer last year because I bought into the Milwaukee system. I also have the edger for the quik change handle. I also have the drill driver kit and sawzall. So far, the Milwaukee products have held up well and have not been disappointed in quality or ease of use!

  15. @One Unit Of Chicken Produce...Are you saying that Warped Perception has his own YouTube channel and his videos are bad? I'm not understanding where the bad videos comment is coming from.

  16. @S. Rica I give you the benefit of doubt but everything I have that was made in China either has a strange metallic smell or is broken within 6 months.

  17. Typhoon East: Like native Americans naming their children after the first thing they see after they're born, Chinese name their tools the same way after they're made.

  18. I never understood the fascination with Paslode nailers. They're expensive to operate with having to buy those cartridges and the nails are proprietary and expensive.

  19. Remember the old Thermos containers? You know the ones that the glass liner shattered if you bumped it against anything?? But, they would keep any liquid hot/cold forever!!!

  20. What fan isn't made in communist China?

  21. It never ceases to amaze me the creative ways of testing you come up with.

  22. When you ran the angle iron cut test, did you use the same blades as on the iron pipe test?

  25. I hit mine a few times with the skill saw. Nobody's asked me to borrow them!😂

  26. @3:44 If there's a disclaimer or warning label on a product "Made in USA", then you know some idiot used that product in that manner! So, Florida man decided to forgo that expensive dentist visit and work on his own teeth.😂

  27. "...converts natural gas into the first-of-its-kind synthetic base oil..." I have to call bullshit on Pennzoil as Germany pioneered this technology in 1913 and the Nazis used it during WWII to help make up for supply shortages of crude oil.

  28. Years ago I had a Makita 7.2v system. It was great for driving in screws in tight places and working on a ladder instead of dragging out a lead cord and all. But, it would've run away screaming like a little school girl at the thought of driving in one of those lags. Driving in three 3" screws and it was done.

  29. Amen to that. It's like Budweiser beer, it's all advertising.

  30. @1:00 Yup, nothing unsafe at all about that chainsaw attachment... perfectly safe! 😂

  31. "Made with global materials": In other words, the plastic garbage that gets recycled, we send to China, then china grinds up that plastic refuse into tiny plastic pellets, ships those pellets back to the US and then plastics factories magically transform those plastic pellets into plastic garden hose.

  32. I would buy Milwaukee with no reservations now. However, that's subject to change with time.

  33. Ummm, couldn't you have used a hood or trunk lid from the junk yard instead of your car??

  34. I used to use a Brita water filter at work because the city heavily chlorinated their water. The Brita did a good job removing the chlorine and filters lasted about a month before the taste changed.

  35. I've used Rustoleum Rust Reformer. What's nice is you can spray it on rusted metal and it stops rust from coming back!

  36. Isn't it about time to feature the Farmebago in one of your tests? 😂

  37. Did cousin eddie come with it's own battery?

  38. That's a nice little test rig you got set up in the cart with a small gas engine running a vehicle alternator charging the car battery. Do you have a voltage regulator in that mix?

  39. I'm confused, vinegar is used to remove rust from metal and you're using it in a formula to cause rust??

  40. Funny thing about burst pressure. The average house on a city system only goes to a high of around 80 psi, otherwise at higher pressures, you'd be replacing your entire water system.

  41. Hammers! 🔨🔨🔨

  42. I switched over to the Milwaukee system about 4 1/2 years ago and am very happy with it so far. I used to have all Makita power tools but their quality slipped a little and was surpassed by Milwaukee products.

  43. "Up to (insert number here)x the life". My question is life of what? If it's a human being then yeah I can see these bits being around 3500 years from now.

  44. Bionic steel hose reminds me of the shower head hose you'd find in your shower.

  45. But, if you wear jeans, then don't you not want "breatheability" in the wintertime?

  46. Stanley: Used to be an underrated and underpriced line of tools and accessories. I guess they still are.

  47. When people ask me about electric chainsaws, I tell them an electric chainsaw will cut you just as fast as a gas one! 😂

  48. When the woods cutters came through clearing trees for the construction of I-88 in the late 1970's near my parents house, I told them to drag down trees in my uncle's field instesd of turning them into wood chips with their industrial sized wood chipper mounted on a tractor trailer bed. Then I went out and bought the best chainsaw on the market at the time, a Stihl Farmboss. I cut up at least forty cords of wood with that thing. I mixed gas one small can oil to 1.8 gallons of gas instead of 2 gallons of gas as per advice from the old timer who ran the business. Told me that it would lubricate better without plugging up the spark plug. Every fill up, I cleaned the air filter, lubed the sprocket on the end of the bar, touch up the chain and adjusted chain tension. It ran beautifully, gave me absolutely no issues and would start on less than three pulls every time. When I was done, I sold it for not much less than what I bought it for.

  49. 3,000 rpm on a diesel engine?

  50. It would be helpful if you stated where you bought each product so that we could buy it from that source if we wanted to. Thanks!
