I really enjoyed the surprise of success with the first lock. After the failure on the hex key I never in my wildest dreams imagined success with the first lock. The sound of the vice groups being locked on to the pieces was really quite pleasing. I went back and watched the entire video with my eyes closed and just enjoyed the sounds. There's a hidden layer of compassion if you watch and listen with a different mindset. His concern for his feline friend which is never pictured on screen is quite heart warming. Having the rust at the hinge pointed out during the middle of the video shows his attention to detail and ever watchful eye. The debris and bits of metal that built up as the video went on was quite pleasing to watch. It was like looking back behind you in a boat and seeing the waves push away from the bow. You can see where you've been and those pieces of metal served as a visual reminder of our successes and failures. Truly a journey and great analogy for the experience of living as a human.

I used to be a helicopter mechanic in the army. I remember when they swapped out our toolboxes to the large black pelican case ones they have now. Our regular tools were mostly snap on and they continued this trend in the new boxes.... Except for the diagonal cutters. Everything on the aircraft is stitched together with wire and cotter pins to keep hardware from loosening due to vibration, so your diagonal cutters are among the most used tools you have. I used the new ones once and the blades started chipping. Three uses in and I had some tiny hacksaw blades. These goofy Chinese cutters on here are apparently better than what we had in our tool boxes. Thank you, Army procurement.

@@CptBlackbeardlives The major manufacturers in the US standardized Romex color coding back in 2001. Orange is 10ga, Yellow is 12ga, White is 14ga, and they now have blue for specifying AFCI circuits in bedrooms. If you DO happen to see cable that isn't color coded as such, it's either REALLY old, or from some cheap overseas manufacturer somewhere. But all the brands you'll generally find at any supply house, home depot, lowe's, or even your average hardware store (the few that are still around), etc. will follow that color code by now.

Electrician here. Those Milwaukee 6 in 1 wire strippers are legit. They’re one of the few Milwaukee hand tools that are actually really good. I have a pair, but I only use them for trim-out. For everything else, especially when doing roughs, yeah, I use Klein. And, yeah, as someone else pointed out, generally, the more things a tool is designed to do, the worse it is at all of them. Especially when it comes to lineman pliers, I’ve noticed. Anytime I’ve gotten a pair that also strips or crimps wire, (or worse, when they’re made with teeth for turning nuts, instead of splicing wire) they suck at those all those extra things, and then they also suck at being lineman pliers, for having been robbed of their simplicity.

[@JJ-qo7th]

Another electrician here: I don't even like the extra weight when I'm trying to strip wires, and the handles on lineman's are a lot fatter than the handles on strippers. They feel like a whole lot more fuss than they're worth. Mine do have a crimper on them...but yeah, I don't use them for that. I *have* crimpers already. Also, if I _must_ strip wires with my lineman's, that's what gentle pressure with the cutting edge is for. I couldn't imagine the nuisance of trying to turn nuts with them. _That's what nutdrivers and wrenches are for._ Or my tiny channelocks if I can't access my wrenches for some reason.

Great video (new subscriber here)... When I worked full time at motorcycle shops (decades ago) the SnapOn guys loved me (most of the time) and two of the best pliers I bought were the duck bills and line pliers. The duck bills would grab broken bolts so well that (after applying some heat) they would remove almost any 6mm bolt that was still long enough to grab (until the jaws wore to where they wouldn't grab anymore) and that's when the tool man wasn't happy, having to replace them without actually being broken. And I learned to use the line pliers (from a hose supplier's wife) for cleanly cutting steel braided hose (up to -6 size) by holding them on concreate floor and smacking the jaw with a hammer. I was shocked how long they lasted (almost a year of cutting MANY hoses) before the blades got damaged to where it took more than one hit (and turning the hose a bit)...

Other side note, yellow nowadays is generally 12-2 romex. Many strippers however indicate both a solid and a stranded size or a copper and aluminum size. Stranded 14g cuts and strips at roughly the same size of a 12g solid conductor because there are physically more wires compact together. Same with aluminum since most of those are stranded anyways. Also when stripping solid conductors sometimes you need to give a not quite full throttle solid grip and wiggle it a bit to strip it better. But I still wouldn't use those strippers if given an option lol

Milwaukee makes disturbingly fine tools. There's certainly better, but for the price they're some of the most brute reliable buggers I've ever used

You and AvE are some of the best content on KZbin

[@abelhernandez2381]

Ave reference recognized. Try compressing the handles in a bench vise. See if it cuts then.

[@FunkFPV]

I might do that in a short

[@billboy7390]

Not at all surprised. I’ve never believed any video that is flat out deceiving. Rule of thumb, don’t buy cheap tools.

[@patrickhughes7302]

Do you think that since they don't show the bottom of the grips they just extended them a foot or so to make it look easier?

[@heber991]

I love this video. When he said I’m not gonna do it, I said “come on” and he said “aw screw it I’ll do it anyways” I laughed so hard. Amazing video

[@user-mz7hb1dq5x]

Thanks for this video, I'm clenching every time you squeeze the tool. POV style is cool.

I have a couple tips/tricks which will help you get more gorilla on your grip. I still doubt you'll be able to cut some of that bigger stuff, but I've bent proper side cutters in my day ! First is, just like you cut with the inside of the cutting blades to get more leverage > the same but opposite is true for the handles. You want your hands to be on the farthest part of the handle. Most of your strength is in between thumb and index. So, if you want maximum hand strength, your pinky is pretty much going to be off the handle. To add to this even further, when you grip, you're going to want to be on the inside of your finger segments. The worst case on handgrip is if you had your fingertips on the handle closest to the pivot. Do the opposite of that for max torque. It's a similar logic to adding cheaters. Next is using 2 hands >> when using the second hand for adding strength >> your hand HAS to be over top of the other one. If your second hand is upwards towards the tool pivot, then your second hand is not doing much. You know you're doing it right when your first hand is being crushed immensely. This will pretty much double your squeeze strength !! Think > I am crushing my own fingers. Last one is a big one... A HUGE one >> when squeezing you can add arm strength in addition to finger strength by holding the cutters close to your chest. Right in front, basically touching chest and elbows all the way out. You should be able to bend the tool handle with arm strength alone. Yes, you can easily bend the tool handle without finger squeezing at all. Obviously, In this position you can also squeeze with fingers. I think this is the max torque position. I find that the farther I hold the cutters from my body, the less force I can put on the tool. Also, when using gloves you gain more power. Dunno exactly why, but there is more than one reason. When I was a kid I called wearing gloves and using cutters "being superman." As an adult I think this is due to >> less hurt=you will naturally exert more + gloves add thickness and the size adds to the leverage. One way to debunk these video's completely is to put the hand tool INSIDE the vise. -OR- Grab a pair of water pliers. Yes I am talking about 'double hand tool.' You can easily break tools like cheap side snips by squeezing them with a beefy pair of water pliers. Water pliers have that super long handle and have a ton of leverage... Nothing beats the vise tho! It will make the tool seem like butter. Careful of slippage !! omg be careful ! If you filmed trying to cut the wrench by putting it's handles in a vise it is very likely the handles will bend all the way closed & the open end wrench will probably barely get marked. using the pipe jaws for the vise helps oh and I almost forgot >> another nother way to cut tough stuff is to rotate and then cut again. You know when you cut and do not succeed the workpiece has gouges ? If you rotate your cutters 90 degrees and cut the virgin metal you will whittle away at the cut and eventually succeed. It works like a charm. P.S be careful with the double tool method I mentioned with the water pliers. It is really easy to bust your cutter handles. ALSO and most importantly, if you slip, you're going to hurt your fingers AND everything goes flying !!! Be careful... Go slow. P.S I luv that trick you showed with the vise grips !!! I've never thought of that !! Oh yea !!! New Skills :))))))

Thank you someone with common sense

"As far as grip strength, I've been married 15yrs." That's Funny. And so true. LMFAO!!

[@corypope4495]

I don't know that I've ever had a moment in my life where there wasn't a pair of these laying in the toolbox or in the spare tool drawer or somewhere around, you knew where they were at yet they are always the last things I grabbed for... Probably why they are always around

I am an electrician and we work out of a Ford Transit Van and even have a similar shelf setup like you have, video was hilarious

[@LaplacianFourier]

Funky stuff. Also you look like my boss and my boss is a funny man. 😂

“Married 15 years” 😂😂😂😂 This man has the grip strength of hercules

[@HeathenHammer80]

Great video! Love your take on the internet idiots and scammers. They are probably rusting because of the salt air during shipping. They used to pack everything with cosmoline and they still do certain things. I’ve gotten some car parts paces with it and you have to clean it all off before installation.

[@Tony-i4k2w]

The look on the guys face on the package is priceless! He looks so concerned that you decided to purchase this thing hahaha

[@vincedibona4687]

On grip strength: “I’ve been married 15 years…” _makes lewd hand gestures_ 🤣😂🤣

The funniest part was when you said you didn't want to impale the cat 🤣 😂

I'm glad you kept the key tradition alive

Almost choked on my tea with “no f’in way” with the wrenches

" As far as grip strength goes i´ve worked with my hands 15 years plus I´ve been married 15 years , so you know how that works" 🤣🤣 7:34
