Bug-A-Salt is the most fun you can have with a flyswatter. Lets tear one apart.

[@EweToupeHandel]

I popped over for some tips on fixing my Bug-A-Salt and found just what I needed. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed by your patience and how you interact with your son. We could certainly do with more fathers like you.

[@opmike343]

It can be frustrating, but entertaining a child's curiosity and answering questions is so important. Great father son dynamic here for sure.

I've spent many nights huddled over my dad watch him fix my toys. The best was when he would solder shit, blew my little mind. Thought it was so cool

[@joefolkenroth4962]

Love the way you include your boy, great job oh and cool fix on the bug a salt!

[@AnthonyHart-jd5nm]

Because men keep things working. The easy way would be to get a new one. Plus, the deal he made with his son was priceless. You can't have moments like that at the store. Good job sir

[@sakostwwy1903]

Great video. Little man was a real hoot . Mine just quit working and am freaking devistated. I have some serious fun with it. But I bet this is the problem! Thanks for the video!

Great video, Great Dad, Great Kid!!!! I just happened to have the perfect hex head 1/4" screw with collar and with a little grinding and epoxy worked for me first time, and thanks' to you it really shortened the teardown rebuild time! Got my first Bugasalt in 2012 and this is my 4th. gave the rest away as they released better models. This is the first one that broke because I left it cocked all the time... ordered a new 3.0 anyway.

[@anko-uf1bi]

I will give u alike for spending your time with the son, son-dad like!

[@johnschools6617]

It's a pleasure watching the two of you sharing father & son time.

[@GDubSupreme]

This video wasn't exactly what I was looking for but still watched the whole thing. It's not a great tutorial on the gun, but it's a great tutorial for life. 🤣, he just called me a very bored person. You can tell this guy has a busy life and he's using his spare time to create spare time for his wife and bond with his son thereby enriching his family tree. And it all revolves around a project that is stress free because if for some reason it couldn't be fixed, he'd toss it in the trash and buy another, which he could have done from the get, but then this experience would not exist. Anyways, perhaps I am bored, and perhaps he'll be able to relate when that boy becomes a teenager lol.

[@donmiller8152]

as a professional master tech... i find your video interesting from an engineering standpoint. I just got one of these for christmas and wondered how they work without having to tear into it thanks for the informative video.....

I have two of these guns. one of them that orange trigger catch is what broke and on my 3.0 gun there is a different design of catch and the part that latches the plunger rod broke. I tried supergluing it and it broke again. Tried some metal sheeting and I got three more shots out of the gun and it broke again. I ordered another 3.0 Bug a salt.

Thank you! Your video was very informative and fun. Mine had a different problem that mysteriously fixed itself after I opened it and checked that mechanism.

Cut down the spring a little and than stretch it out to match the original length before you cut it. Might add a little extra power.

[@TheCityLightz]

Love the video.

[@killermikenault9012]

Is there something you could do to that spring to make it shoot with more psi . I was shooting a stink Beatle to see how something with "protective armor "so to speak and it didn't deliver an instant kill even after several shots ... it wasn't surviving probably wasn't doing to good after first shot but not dead just all peppered up (with salt lol ) could you do another video on powering up your bugasalt with more power by doing something with the spring so there isn't problems assaulting bigger game. Some before and after the spring alterations shots to show increased power. Thanks for the video it was good I think that you are the only bugasalt tear down video BTW. You new mission/video should you choose to accept will be good too can't wait

[@mario6814328]

Thanks for the video,I know it is easier buy another one there in america but here in Brazil its is not available, we have to buy from Amazon and very expensive so we have to know how to fix it

[@DWmaniac4n6]

Has the screw damaged the "seer"? Seems like that screw could be hard on other plastic pieces over time. I just got my 3rd Bug a Salt used off eBay seemed a good deal since it came with the Lazer site. The description said "works great" , well it is broke in that exact way. Thanks for the interesting fix video. I always like fixing things as opposed to making everything disposable. I wonder if someone used a part as a template, maybe cast aluminum replacement parts could be more durable?

[@ElohiSilverEarthVentures]

Your little boy totally made me forget why im sittin here with my same bugasalt gun taken apart. Trying to get the pump to pull back and click again, its not shooting and trigger feels jammed...mijes not completely taken apart yet, wanted to make sure i could find a video to show me what im getting into cus ya this thing is surprisingly complex. just mine isnt shooting ...Not bord just a Mom, lol. Im desperately to shoot these dam flies all over my back porch. I dont think mines got same issue as yours though...im not seeing what my problem is either looking at it. But thank you for basically the tear down so i at least can get it bsck together

[@adambased7928]

Waiting for chronograph test

[@garywest3763]

I would rather Mod that Bug a salt for a air tank chamber, made of PVC tube, that way you have Air pushing the salt harder/faster, and mod it for more salt volume to be shot, per shot. Multiple, fast shots with a air tank could be had. You could also use a Main Large Spring spacer to add more spring compression, now that you have it modified

[@the_natrix9959]

A stronger spring will compromise the plastic seer and other comps. You could make a new hammer and piston to accomdate, though you may just find yourself chasing after replacement piece after piece as you break the remaining TOY pneumatic shotty.
