Looking forward to the VICE REVIEW! Great tips and video as is the usual case!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Oh man that was epic :) vice review coming up. Thanks 👍

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good Morning Steve, OUTSTANDING INFORMATIVE VIDEO AND I Like that hydro press 👍👍😇😇👌👌💪💪 Keep Warm Cheers 🍻🍻

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Dave , thanks 👍

[@Fudgieguys]

I purchased a Harbor Freight vice over 20 years ago and am still doing good. Once a year, I re-grease the jack screw, but other than that, nothing else. I think I paid $30 for this. Today, a six-inch vice costs about $80.

[@gatorsworld]

I like the installation and that hydraulique pump does a nice job without to much effort and the nice thing is it looks like it should hold for a long time.....CHEERS

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Gator It's a great tool and has a lot of uses with some imagination on things to build with it.

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I never thought of using my flaring tool for this. But the actual crimper is some nice. Crazy strength in those crimps.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Kenny Hydraulic is the way to go forsure.

[@RustyGlovebox]

That worked out really great Steve. That squirrel doesn't stand a chance getting to those feeders now. Cheers

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks Lloyd's , them squirrels are some smart but 1/16 cable is a challenge for even them 🐿

[@PinetreeLine]

Interesting and informative as always Steve! Thanks Buddy! 🍻

[@SteveRobReviews]

Thanks Doug.

[@bobrossi1185]

Nice I bought good brake flaring tool now I know what I could do with that silver piece of crap that never worked on brakelines Sorry for your loss of your vise ..lol the new harbor freight Doyle vice seems pretty good . Been thinking about the hydraulic crimper for while now might have to stuff one in my Xmas stocking 😂

[@SteveRobReviews]

Them flairing tools work great on a lot of things because they weren't designed well for flairing HAHAHA Cheers 👍

[@DIYVariety]

Lol buddy i just bought a bunch but no tool i just used a snips. Thanks steve. The brake line tool now thats a great idea! I dont meed the tool lol new vise

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Jason Yes absolutely the alluminum is soft so use what works . New vice coming up 👍

[@EverydayProjects]

Next week....."How to install a new Vise". (the vise-breaking stole the show....what were you talking about haha).

[@SteveRobReviews]

HAHAHA I know Right !!! Take Care Craig 👍

[@CounTreeGuy]

Thanks for this! Tricky subject to get good info on.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mooseknuckle713]

Yes it is

[@dbtech7914]

Nice! I have about a half dozen crimps to do and couldn't justify spending the money on a crimper.

[@johnd1536]

Thanks for showing how to crimp that cable. That was some surprise with your vise breaking, I’m like umm I don’t think that’s supposed to happen. I didn’t have those crimping tools I just put in vise and squeezed the Ferrell in the direction you showed so thanks. I use mine for a dog line. I used the cable that’s wrapped with that rubber or plastic coating. I had to go with a thicker cable because it just snapped at the ferrel when she pulled chasing rabbits in the yard. Hopefully the thicker cable will work. Any suggestions?

[@SteveRobReviews]

@johnd1536 HAHAHA John that vise breaking was a suprise for sure. I did a couple of dog runs and only used 3/16 cable with a plastic coating that kept it clean and easy to manage but it was for a 120 pound Rottweiler.

[@AnnieFarmerFarm]

Excellent job Love your idea on your bird feeders~! Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Steven~

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Annie Thanks, Annie , the birds love it . Wonderful Christmas to you, too . Take care .

[@BruceLyeg]

That hydraulic crimper is awesome

[@SteveRobReviews]

Bruce I'm positive you would get a lot of use out of it for all the things you do .

[@larryz24]

Thanks Steve, great vice review, safety first!!!! Merry Christmas to you and yours my YT friend.

[@SteveRobReviews]

HAHAHA , yes safety first , that was a close one . MC Larry .

[@rolandosoto4545]

Great videos, wish I had the tools at home fix my dog cable.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Roland I did one with a 1/8 cable for a dog run 100 feet long , just perfect for the person as their dog would jump the fences in the yard and now it can use all the yard but it's tethered to the line that keeps it away from the fences.

[@strongsadventures]

1/16 ? I thought you were Canadian. I thought you did All a Meters. Oh I hate hanging lights with them dooma flotchites. Yeah the company I work for seriously needs to upgrade the tools we have to use to hang lights. Oh my well I guess if you just keep pounding on her she is gonna break at some point. Awesome as always Steve.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Billy We're only metric on liquid measure , vehicle speed and temperature . We're the same as American on everything else. You could never notice the difference between any city in America to any city in Canada.

[@George-pg2ii]

Long live the inch! Bilingual, eh! 🇨🇦

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? That's a neat idea to use the flaring tool to crimp the ferrules. Too bad about the vice, but better it break on something like that rather than a big piece that could fall and hurt you. It was interesting to hear you say the squirrels can't walk a 1/16 wire. LOL I like that part!! Take care!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Hi Mike Oh I hope they can't walk on it :)

[@EverydayProjects]

Easy on the Squirrel talk, Mike! You know they are my favourites

[@kendominey8755]

Why do they use cheap pig iron on vises? Mine did the same.

[@SteveRobReviews]

I'm thinking its because they can get all the old cheap scrap iron for cheap , sell cheap and perform cheap . LOL

[@wtbm123]

JB Weld lol . The squirrels are probably on you tube right now learning tight rope walking . lol

[@SteveRobReviews]

HAHAHA that's a plan B. So far the squirrels can't get to the feeders but let's give it a couple of months .

[@htturner91]

Anyone watch Trailer Park Boys? This guy is Bubbles but for birds instead of kitties. That's a compliment haha

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

When this popped up on my feed I had just had to watch it. I use the plastic coated braided wire (1/16") for the bird feeders that I sell. I just use an old pair of lineman's pliers to crimp the sleeves. Get a little more leverage with the longer handles. Bummer about your vise. Put it on your Christmas list.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Well thanks for watching , so many ways out there to do something . Nice to see your doing something too. Cheers 👍

[@rolandosoto4545]

I’m gonna try that cable for my small dog. Regular cable too mush don’t last. They rust and break.

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@channelname8623]

did you cut the dog in half? that type of cable isnt meant for use on or around pets haha.

[@ChevyCitation]

At 8:25 Cheers 👍

[@SteveRobReviews]

👍

[@doloinc]

Never add an additional crimp barrel right behind the first. It creates a bubble between the two, which drastically reduces the strength of the cable at that point, in turn creating a major failure point

[@phillyfathead]

Treat yourself to a nice Vice for the holidays!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

I'd like to buy a cast steel vice instead of cast iron but the price is more than my first car :)

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Nice demo Steve 👍 But I can’t lie! In my industry if the boss catches you messing around with crimping tools you’re in shit! Lay the doohickey on a big wrench and smash it with the paclower and move on😂 Take care Steve✌️

[@SteveRobReviews]

HAHAHA , I'm thinking many places are like that. Thanks Marc 👍

[@robburton3255]

Good video, but I wonder how many birds don't see that wire and run into it because they can't see it.

[@SteveRobReviews]

@robburton3255 That's a valid concern , very sharp 👌. I did research the concern prior and my concerns were relieved as the birds do not run into the wire at all but they do perch on it . Cheers

[@emersonb5764]

Survival of the fittest. Do your small part to help the future of the bird species select for the genes that bring more caution and better eye sight, making a fitter species of bird. Just don’t hang it low enough to clothesline you off the mower when mowing the lawn. Homo Sapiens is on an opposite trend at the moment. Lol

[@brianjohnston4207]

If it's a non critical application you can crimp the sleeves by smacking them with a hammer or usund a tool smash the sleeves. An assembly for small birds or projects where there's no safety risk you really don't need a swager.

[@SteveRobReviews]

@brianjohnston4207 Lots of my viewers are interested in how to do something and the tools to do it with.

[@grahamtranter3616]

Thats all fine but I came here for a Wally Batty method. I have a pair of pliers and like Wally I'm pretty good at pretty basic!

[@joeo1352]

Well That’s for the birds. 12$ and 500$ for a new Wilton vice on Amazon . That’s why we don’t have birds in New York State we can’t afford them. 😂 have a good one Steve

[@SteveRobReviews]

🤣😅 Hi Joe , you have a good one too 👍

[@airratchetjockey7605]

Ever have any birds fly into that wire?

[@SteveRobReviews]

Great question , nope their landing on it but not colliding with it. So far no squirrels have tried to walk along it .

[@grahamtranter3616]

It must be why Americans are the number 1 Capatilists.., its to do with the capital investment inside their sheds.., "I'll just use this standard flaring die indeed"!😁😁😁

[@SteveRobReviews]

I have no idea about Americans and their capital shed investments , I'm Canadian 👍
