Handyman Corner "Duct Tape Spare"

[@jeremydiez-luckie5831]

anyone notice he's actually tightening the nuts even more?

[@rickclark7846]

I was wating for him to say '' you might want to figure out what way to turn them"

[@djmiller232]

Prior to the mid-60s, many lug nut on the left side of a vehicle used left-hand threaded lug nuts. Especially Chrysler products!

[@whackyjinak4978]

djmiller232 That van is feom the 80s

[@isaiahshaffer]

WhackyJ in AK even from the 80’s it could be, hard to tell, some trucks from that era had reversed and some didn’t, they’d be stamped with an L if they did, might be a joke might not 🤷🏼‍♂️ either way good stuff 😂

[@timetable620]

I had a 1972 dodge power wagon that had left hand threads on the drivers side. The studs will have a “L” or “R” On the end of the studs I’ll tell you I fought them for the first time for ever till I figured it out

[@Assassin.Brotherhood]

This never gets old for me, watched this back in school in a free period of class.

[@MilwaukeeF40C]

I thought he was going to make a whole solid tire out of duct tape.

[@andrewsutton6640]

Myth Busters material for sure. An entire episode could have been devoted to this guy. Miss opportunity.

the law of the lever: "if it's not workin', leaver 'er" :)

[@justinjonessr2166]

That tire tool would work better if you go the right direction.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

A lot of older cars used to use left-hand threads on the driver's side

[@pika62221]

***** and it's Canadian.

[@SynchronizorVideos]

Jude Law Yeah, I've heard that certain Canadian models kept the left-hand threads a few years longer than American vehicles.

[@hansorsic7387]

my 74 dodge has right hand threads

[@AD-fd9vz]

mostly true with heavy duty truck they usually are marked R to signify that. was not sure if it was part of the gag (aka trying to unscrew the nut by screwing it) or if the gag was to just oversize the lever action.

[@Spootnik]

"The nuts on this wheel are tighter than say, the discs on my spine"

[@colemanadamson5943]

When Red was using the tire iron the direction he was turning was TIGHTENING the lug nut!!!!

[@eosdelb]

So if he had been as generous with tape as he was with wd-40 it would have worked. :)

[@Dargonhuman]

When he was spraying the WD-40 on, I was starting to smell it myself!

[@richardunicorn7879]

So glad he didn't destroy the van. (Sigh of relief)

[@andrewsutton6640]

For those noticing him turning it clockwise: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3-3nJVno6ZmqbM In this other video he turns it counterclockwise and realizes(and vocalizes) that these are left-hand threads

[@cliffordbruber2791]

4:18 You've picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel.

[@tusk3260]

the Mythbusters made an entire boat with only duct tape and sailed it on the ocean and it worked surprisingly great you should try it

[@jasonlisonbee]

Uh uh. _You_ try it. Don't forget to report back if you survive. Arrange for someone else to report if you don't.

[@ianfinrir8724]

What and episode that would've been. Red Green and Mythbusters.

[@b_uppy]

The "How To Do Everything" Tour hopefully has a dvd available out there.

[@wtbm123]

Needed one more wrap of duct tape

[@fun_ghoul]

How else would you do it? That's actually the proper technique for drums and steelies.

[@PyroShim]

Loosen the lug nuts about half a turn with the vehicle still on the ground. Then drive a few meters and slame the brakes. Works every time.

[@avroarrow1805]

@@PyroShim I'm guessing you're kidding, but I really want to try that now!

Funny thing is 31 people are too stunned to realize that Mopars use left hand threads on the drivers side studs on their fine vehicles,

[@hansorsic7387]

my 74 w100 uses right hand threads

[@MooyakAttack]

Fenris Kammler that was so funny, I fell off my _dinosaur_ ..

[@unclemikeb]

They used to. I'm guessing it was about 69 or 70 when they went to all right hand thread.

I was waiting for him to realize that he was turning the nuts the wrong way!

[@bellevernon15012]

Mopars use left hand threads, last year was 1970...

[@SynchronizorVideos]

I think they were used into the mid-70s in Canada, at least on some models.

You are wrong!

he was tightening the nut with the tire iron...

Did anybody else notice that he was tightening the bolts the whole time, instead of loosening.

Is Red Green using an impact wrench at 3:10-3:31, or, another tool?...

No, just an old 12 volt stick battery powered Makita drill.

I noticed he is going up going righty tighty. He is not going lefty loosely. Further evidence is with the long pipe. He actually is going the wrong way.

its only temporary if it works

I quess this is one of the newer episodes? Sounds as if he lost some sting compare to other videos.

[@sausky2379]

I've been trying to talk sense to my mom about using a blow torch for clearing the weeds at her guest residence. I know I'm an idealist in thinking that is too extreme, and dangerous. It might be easy to imagine going ahead and doing it, but really, she doesn't have any practical knowledge about it. Short of being on hand to dial the fire bureau, what should I have in mind to be prepared ahead of time for this? -Burnin' For You in Green Oregon
