I can't thank you enough for turning me onto that Super Scraper years back! Thing is great. I just used it on a '02 Ram 1500 diff gasket that looked OE. This thing was WELDED onto the housing! Nearly broke the rotted out cover in half trying to pry it off, lol. I'd have been there for an hour chiseling and scraping had it not been for the Super Scraper - peeled the whole thing clean in 10 minutes flat! Even scraped off the rust that was starting to make it's way inward. Glad I didn't pick the OTC for my only scan tool - that would've been super frustrating. Surprised a company like OTC would let that thing go out to market like that. You'd think they have guys there that have been auto techs at some point? Great videos on this one man! 👍👍

It is so helpful to see you reach for different scan tools, comparing what is offered for specific practical applications. Of course data available on scan tools is a moving belt, so these tools all need updates that can be pretty expensive for the DIY market. Competition has fortunately brought the price of scanners within range for some. SnapOn must be choked to see their dominance slide.

Hey Eric!! I have an idea!! Get one of those automatic call on hold system, and put the youtubers on indefinite hold! Let it play some HORRIBLE ELEVATOR MUSIC, and come back to announce "YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US, PLEASE REMAIN ON THE LINE, AND YOUR CALL WIL BE ANSWER IN THE ORDER IT WAS RECIEVED! PLEASE HANG ON", every 30 seconds! I know they have those, I seem to be able to call one, at least once a week, sometimes twice! But, it's never from anyone that considers your call IMPORTANT, and could care less about your business!! Like when you call the DMV to find out how to get your license reinstated. Or when you call the hospital billing dept, to complain about being overcharged for an aspirin!! Or, when you call the power company, to report a power outage!! Or when you call 911, to report the old man next door that just got ran over by a Mack truck, or to report that some unknown people are breaking into your neighbors house, or to report the DRUNK DRIVER that you are following thru a school zone, and thru a parade route. (On a side note. Have you ever noticed that people are always crashing into buildings and such, or other vehicles, and always need an ambulance? However, you never see them crash into hospitals, and are never right there for the ER staff to come out and rescue them?) You know who never uses those call answer services? Small restaurants!! Businesses that are slowly going under! The "report a crime" tip line!! If you call a small restaurant, it's like the phone never rings, it is just instantly picked up. Like they have nothing else to do, and are patiently waiting for your call!! And they can never say the name of the restaurant clearly, so that you know that you called the correct, number! You call "Andrews Italian Bistro", and they answer the phone, "ANDS", and you don't know what they said, and ask, is this Andrews Italian Bistro, and they say "yeah, that's what I said, ain't it"! I used to work for a small local restaurant, WAFFLE HOUSE! (LOOK IT UP) And the mgr would answer the phone, "Waffhous mhelpya"! Or a retail outlet, that is going under! You call, and they answer half way thru the first ring, and detail every product they have, and announce that everything is half priced, before you get to say that you're sorry, but you dialed the wrong number! I hate it when you call the crime tip lines, where they say, "AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME! And you call, and tell the guy that answers the phone that there is a guy that you think is responsible for dumping large amounts of trash at the end of a local dead end street, and that you have his truck license number, and a description of his vehicle, and driver, and that you want to help clean up the city. And the guys thanks for the information, calls you by name, and quotes your address to where to send the anonymous check!! Turns out, it was a guy that you went to grade school with, that never forgets a voice!! He's like RAIN MAN!! He got a job at an anonymous crime tip line?? Really?? Or, an even better idea, to irritate and torture you tube callsers. Read this comment on tape, and play a loop of it. ONCE!! That'll stop them from calling back!!
