  3. Please do a video on gear oil yellow metal corrosion! There's almost no reliable info out there.

  4. Great video, thank you for the test and the slow motion tearing looks awesome! Could you also test adhesion on different surfaces? And general weather resistance (water, sun, heat, cold, just leaving them outside should be sufficient for a general idea).

  5. Sometimes I wonder if it's just a bot replying.

  8. definitely depends on use, if adhesion is an issue, it has a significant advantage. Though others may perform better, by comparison, on different surfaces (ex: damp, cold, rough, oily, metal, plastic, fabric). I would be very interested to see those results as well.

  9. No but once you have it you tend to use it for everything. At work it was used for everything from drilling rivets, lumber, trees, & fiberglass, to sanding and buffing.

  11. (Watching) ...are these the same oil?? (Continuing to watch) ...!??

  12. I have heard: "It is thinner and will seep through old gaskets, and rings" ...not really accurate if they are the same viscocity. "The sluge it picks up will clog oil galleries causing excess pressure, wear, and leaks" I mean... It could happen?

  13.  @ProjectFarm  I am also curious about Bosch, Skil, and Hitachi. As they are decently common brands where I live.

  14. Well most of these tricks work by thinning the oil to make it brake down sludge. But I would rather go with added detergents than thinner oil.

  15.  @bilbobaggins4710  farms are expensive. Also a million dollar home isn't what it used to be. As an example look at San Francisco or Vancouver, and see what that actually gets you.

  16. I wish I watched this, before I bought a new engine...

  17.  @MrTheHillfolk  To an extent. But, as some other tests have shown, design and material differences can be an improvement on both, compared to stock.

  18.  @mrraz9820  yeah I hope not by getting leukemia

  19. but how much extra would those better important components cost to make them on par? $20 more? $50?

  22. ...should we test this right now?

  23. but it did demonstrate that wax vs no wax has no effect.

  24. Yep, went in for a tap... and went so far it might as well keep going.

  26.  @justinluttrell1769  The range of the fuel probably doesn't make up for the cost there no. But that is a bit absurd of a price difference wherever you live.

  27. even though you meant that as a joke that's not how compression works. Better to joke about increased output, or compression loss. ...or engines as fragmentation grenades.

  28. ahem... it is pronounced 'mills' lol

  29. I like the T-shirt. Do you have, "We're going to test that"?

  30. have you ever poured powdered dish soap and windshield washer fluid into an engine before? ...Don't. I was an aspiring Project Farmer as a child.

  31. oooh

  32. I do like these shirts. ...I think we need to test them.

  33. It must just be the model but I am really surprised a Makita tool is more expensive than a Milwaukee. I am also very surprised by how well the rigid did. Often it is a very mediocre brand. Great as always.

  34. I found the shiny group quite pleasing on the eye... *To the eye. (Flashbacks to graphite slurry in the eye).

  35. I would bathe in Quaker State.

  36. it could run on gas vapours *(technically all do) the atomized (vaporized) fuel is what burns the liquid fuel does not burn well. Which is why modern injectors were designed to better atomize fuel. However, in order to run it still requires a certain air/fuel ratio. Using the engine as an air pump through fluid likely will decrease the efficiency compared to jet/injector approach. *(it also probably distills the fuel which may affect the percieved fuel economy as well)

  37. If the Malco goes on sale I might pick it up, it came out substantially better, but it's also nearly 4x the price. If it were slightly less than double I would just buy it, without a thought.

  38.  @harleyhawk7959  That doesn't necessarily mean exactly what you think it means based on product labeling rules. Products could even merely be assembled in the US depending on the rules. @RAR I am aware of some high quality tool manufacturers in Canada. However, I am not aware of any power/battery tools made there. But yes Dewalt is probably your best bet but... they got really expensive for that reason (and because people found they were actually decent). At the end of the day it is probably most important where the profit is going, which would take more investigation. For example, for cars, Honda is a Japanese company with many models made in the US & Canada, employing their workers. But FCA/Dodge is largely built in Mexico. Which supports North America, but tends not to have the same quality so they can save on costs. Which means more profit ...going to FCA not USA. So if there is a company selling products from China but a larger portion of the item's price is staying in North America (than one assembled in North America with global parts), buying the import may be better. But then there is a question of whether it is employees or owners getting the money and whether or not that is more likely to support the economy based on who is spending it (and subsequently, where and how they spend it). So at the end of the day I would say you might as well just buy the best product that works for you. Let your demand shape the competition (as long as there are competitors for that item).

  39. Exploiting the 30-day return policy LOL No I think he said he sells or donates the ones he doesn't keep to people in the area.

  40. Yes as converters we don't really know what's best. But, We do know what helps as a base layer for paint. I still have to say, in my experience. Rust Killer is the best rust inhibitor/primer I have used. It doesn't seal as well as the $30 one here, but if you use it and apply clear coat or paint and clear coat you may never have to re-paint.

  41. Oh no, I will forever internal monologue his voice whenever I read that phrase now. XD

  43. If Irwin is the original I wouldn't call it 'budget', I would call the others 'over-priced' .hahaha

  44.  @lonniebeal6032  $15 is cheap for synthetic. Did he ever check how much better amazon basic synth is than, say... Castrol GTX?

  45.  @BruceLee-xn3nn  Even if it's the same manufacturer, you'd think they'd change the blends slightly to differentiate the products. But then again most people aren't Project Farm subscribers and have no idea.

  46. I was curious how well graphite would work as an engine lubricant, cooling properties aside... it seemed promising. Thanks for the video. Now to watch... lol *In the oil? interesting... Definitely not putting that in my car if it builds up every where you don't want it to.

  47. that is a huge waste they could have just paid someone to recycle or refurbish parts from those trade ins.

  48. So... you are saying Popeye is the way he is by screwing? Oh my.

  49. indeed

  50. I doubt you will see this.... However, could you please do a video on gear oil ? Mainly in terms of soft metal corrosion rates (it is next to impossible to find out what is suitable for a MT) But I am also curious about which ones perform better in general.
