[@mattstanford9673]

A "really hard turn" would not budge that gas can with the torque strap. Lol. The simple physics involved wouldn't even remotely topple it. You were struggling just to move it with your own body. That said, who straps their lone gas can in the middle of the truck bed? Lol.

[@copasetic1]

A ‘really hard turn” at about 600 mph might tip that Jerry can over

[@clifton4566]

[@caraiya]

Right? I was like, okay, it's a gas can, you're not gonna put it with a bunch of dropcloths then drive at 160mph on a hot cloudless day while hitting every single pothole.

[@nathanhorst8886]

Pro tip: When he says, " I was thinking" put playback speed at 1.75 and it is a lot funnier. He is forklift certified and an actual Engineer, Seriously.

[@scod3908]

That's a 20L steel can, they weight about 20kg full of diesel. 20kg will generate a fairly large force on the strap when you hit a speed bump with leaf spring suspension The standard ratchet strap will not stretch significantly under such conditions, however the sprung section of the "torkstrap" can and will extend if not maxed out (assuming they have a limit strap). The spring might give the impression of sturdiness, but the fact is that it is risky as if there is any extension left in the sprung section and you generate enough force to lengthen the strap, your load is no longer secure.

[@NitroCigarette]

A ''really hard turn'' is just Tyler driving his shit off a cliff, like come on man nothin' is tippin' that can lmao

[@MyJp1983]

Sorry if someone already mentioned it: 16 gauge, 19 strands, or medium flexible conductor. If it wasn't intended for movement, it might be 1-4 strands, high flexibility, 24-32 strands

[@-Jethro-]

The straps Tyler already owned and doesn’t like are actually really nice motorcycle tie down straps with bar protection loops. They work fine for their intended purpose, but they aren’t really meant for strapping down a gas can or lumber.

[@sunburntodin910]

I was on my way to say the same thing.

[@runningscout14]

I just used the exact strap that he says sucks to haul my dirt bike sideways on a trailer and they work amazing. What helps those work is the opposite pressure from the suspension pushing up

[@JDsBBQnBourbon]

Right, if you are strapping down something under a spring load, they dont need to have a spring built into the strap.

[@bigbee6897]

When you tie lumber down on a trailer or in the back of your truck you should gut wrap your load.

[@TheB100NL]

When you take such turns that u make the gascan tip over with the strap attached you should be locked up for the rest of ur live..

[@saltysteel3996]

The advantage of the Torq Strap is that it keeps constant tension. So if a load shifts or bounces then the strap keeps the tension tight where a regular strap will fall off or come loose if a load compresses or bounces.

[@billyboots3730]

My biggest pet peeve with ratchet straps is that sometimes someone will borrow mine, and they never wrap it right and it is so tedious to get them to loosen up. that torque strap is perfect for light loads, and no messing with a ratchet! I think i might buy a few.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

OMG I have 1 like this & I have no idea how it got that way & all my others r fine. Whoever got into my ratchet straps is fired😂

[@My_cat_is_so_cute]

I always take the strap out of the binder, wrap it up and use either a rubber band or electrical tape to keep is coiled up…. Is that what you’re talking about? Because when people don’t do that I get so mad

[@sagasta1983]

Im sure everyone who has worked with electrical wiring, had a little laugh when he pulled out the wire strippers 😂. I sure did, but im not surprised tyler is amazed by something so common

[@ronblack7870]

those are light duty and don't work great on hard insulation. i have broken several of those . they are always made of plastic. i have used the ideal brand that actually have the notches for the wire sizes . they pull sideways and are made of metal. those are way better.

[@sagasta1983]

@@ronblack7870 yeah i know. I use to do traffic signals so I've used my share of wire strippers. I've also had these wire strippers and the teeth got stuck. I just took them apart because they were trash. My point though, was that pretty much everyone who's stripped wires.. has either seen or used these.

[@straingedays]

IF that's Tyler's new backyard, I'm seriously happy for him!! Folks on here have ragged on about losing his garage background that we've all grown accustomed too, but that brief view of a yard bordered by trees and heavy bush looks so much more peaceful than his old abode.

[@DrTubeman]

When tying down one or more boards that are positioned like the ones Tyler did, wrap your straps around your boards twice so 'starting from the left side tie down point go under the boards around over the top of the boards then back under the board again to the right hand tie down point' then racket tight as normal making sure to keep your load centered as you racket down, by tying anything down this way you get a stronger as well as equal strength pull from both sides stopping the side ways movement...

[@MrBuyerman]

The benefit of the torque strap is for shifting loads. If a ratcheted load shifts, it gets loose, with the torque strap it's supposed to adjust with the spring to keep it tight.

[@somborn]

15:12 Holy cow are you kidding? Those wire strippers are around for 25 years at least.

[@kumakell]

That thing is just a super over-built rokstrap. They've been around a long time. They're most useful when dealing with things like soft bags strapped to a bike or ATV, where the load can compress or deflate. Instead of allowing it to shift as the load gets smaller, the elastic (rokstrap, not the one you have) keeps it under tension.

[@burk3552]

I was about to mention rokstrap then seen your comment,yea I love rokstraps,they are handy in many ways for sure

[@insaneclowne]

I think you should strap the gas can in and do some donuts and see if it stays in place!! (I just wanna watch you do donuts for real!)

[@SpyrosAdventures]

I use the electric DeWalt screwdriver for kitchen remodels when Im working on the cabinets. Good for installing the doors after, the knobs/handles. If you install cabinets, get one of these straight up. Had one for a year and I use it on literally anything you'd use a screwdriver for but it's way faster and the tool is intuitive as hell to use. It also does in fact have enough torque to remove 3inch drywall screws from studs but it's not made for that. It's really only made for things you use a regular screwdriver for. Drywall anchors are a dream with it

[@Nirinium]

Exactly, this is the same thing as the cordless ratchet goofery. People think cordless ratchets are impacts, and are upset when they dont break the lugnuts on your Kenworth

The wood burner has multiple uses. Of course, there’s the soldering, but I have an 80 watt version that I use to weld plastic. I have fixed many kayaks, four wheeler panels, gas cans, car parts, etc. over the years with it. They’re good to have around, and if you want, you can even make custom tips.

[@SOLDADITO76]

The Pyrography tool would be nice to have for stippling. Looks like it has a temperature control which is much nicer than a standard soldering iron.

[@modelmisfit]

That's what I said as a gunsmith we use em for that and otd has some great tips

[@bryan314]

One point about ratchet straps: DO NOT use ratchets to tie down kayaks. Rotomolded kayaks will deform and composite kayaks will crack.

[@JXZ2]

I have seen people fill the bed of their truck with gas, but I have never seen someone strap a gas can in the center of the bed. Now I know, this man is failing upwards.

15:26 automatic wire strippers been around forever as well. Often used as electricians. In the Automotive industry, a lot of aftermarket sound systems and alarm installers used them back in the day. Of course they used the more higher quality ones.

[@alexanderunguez9633]

12:15 I'm sure someone has already pointed this out. There are two reasons for using the zip-tie tool. The first is to leave a clean cut behind but the second is to dial in how tight the tie is so that you aren't squeezing the absolute heck out of it. Being too tight doesn't matter for stuff that is temporary but it is important on wire harnesses that are meant to last for several years . The mechanics at my place use a 'fancy' version of these with a width based tension adjuster.

The nut splitter is useless in about 90% of the situations you'd need to split a nut. Most spring shackle nuts, leaf spring U bolts, most exhaust clamps, that's the extent of usefulness on a vehicle, and those examples are dependent on actually being able to get the tool into position.

[@francwieling4475]

That last tool is for Pyrography . I use to do it years ago to burn pictures in wood. But the one i used had different settings and whent up to 750 degrees celsius. I first had a cheap one like this and they don't get hot enough and the tips get loose and even fall out

OK, ziptie gun, I've seen, but it was literally only once. Came with a kit of zipties at a job I had. The torque strap I've never seen, but why? Rachet straps aren't that expensive. The strippers I haven't seen. Nut buster is also new to me. But really, a wood burning kit? They are like a soldering iron because they are a soldering iron. In fact, the kit I bought came with a tip to solder and soldering wire. They are both a heating element that you apply a tip to. Like $15 at Walmart. About as unknown as a crochet hook.

[@dskubberud9038]

Tyler, I think the DeWalt gyro screwdriver is designed for smaller repetitive jobs like installing a ton of cabinet hardware or maybe installing a bunch of light switches and receptacles in their boxes. Those are much lighter torque loads than what you tested it on. I could easily see this tool being a game changer for smaller repetitive jobs.

as a tradesman who has used a ziptie gun for over a decade... its a whole lot better to use the tool that is designed for the job... you dont need to do multiple squeezes on the trigger... you apply the tie just as you normally would, you then use the tool to apply the proper tension and to give it a perfect flush cut all in one single quick motion. 10x as fast as your method of applying the tie as per normal, using some pliers to pull it tight, then getting some side cutters to cut it flush. but whatever, you cant teach an ignorant dog new tricks.

[@rare6213]

You’re completely forgetting the whole point of the torque strap. The whole point of the torque strap is not too compete with a ratchet strap, which by the way they do sell a version that is a ratchet, but their whole point and goal of their product is for when your load shifts your straps stays tight if you do if you shift your load with any type of strap that doesn’t have a spring in it, your strap will most likely be loose and you’ll have to tighten it. The whole point of the torque strap is to prevent that.

[@iamjeffreybezos]

That spring won’t last forever.

[@AlAmantea]

Dude, you could roll that truck and not move that Jerry Can. The purpose of those torque straps is for delicate loads that you don't want to damage by over tightening the straps. The idea is to leave a bit of give in the spring so you maintain tension. It's not meant to hold a ton of steel... The automatic wire strippers are probably still ok, but the adjustment knob works the opposite of what you think. turn clockwise to have less grip, and counter clockwise to have more grip.

The biggest advantage to those spring straps is that they keep tension when your load shifts. Like if you're hauling a motorcycle and you hit a pothole and the forks compress a bit. It might be just enough for a normal strap to slip off

[@caraiya]

For the heat pen, there are some that allows your hand to be closer to the tip, so that you have more control. The one Tyler showed is basic and not as great for crafting.

[@lylebrownrigg7403]

If you absolutely MUST strap your gas can in the middle of your bed, try this. Instead of just passing the strap through the handle, wrap the strap around the handle and then cinch it tight. The extra friction from the strap will hold it in place. This works with ladders and long boards as well.

[@mpoulin]

Regarding the zip tie gun, there are some applications that you wouldn't want to make the zip tie too tight. For instance, a bundle of networking cables. In a network cable, such as Cat 6, there are individual pairs of twisted wire inside. Each pair has a specific twist to them, some with longer twists, others with shorter twists, some twisted in reverse, you get the idea. They are engineered this way to allow for maximum throughput and minimum interference between the pairs. By crushing these twisted pairs with over tightened zip ties, especially when they evenly space some set distance, you degrade the performance (throughput) of your expensive cables. By setting the torque on a zip tie gun, you can apply enough pressure to get the job done and be consistent with the pressure applied for each zip tie. This is also true with coax cable and high frequency signals (ie: 3G, 4k video) passing through them. The spacing between the center conductor and shield is intentional based on the signal frequency. Over tightened zip ties can have a negative effect on the signals passing through the cables. Final tip, a good set of flush cutters (not expensive...$10-$20), cutting in the wide direction of the zip tie (flat side of the blade down toward the head of the zip tie), will give you very smooth cuts. Zip ties with poorly cut ends in equipment racks can be very painful and draw blood easily. It's a professional courtesy to cut them cleanly. I used to install a lot of equipment professionally for many years.

Wow, using a Milwaukee bit on a Dewalt tool and the planet didn't explode!!!!

I get ads for that Torkstrap all the time and they're the most biased garbage ads ever. Nice to finally see a relatively unbiased showcase of it that it doesnt outperform ratchet straps by 500%.

I have had a ziptie gun for over a decade. came from newegg with a set of 1000 ties. its absolutely amazing. I still use it all the time. no more using side cutters to get a flush cut. I used to build a lot of computers and it was very nice to have that professional look, every single time, with perfect tension. mine doesnt have a tension adjustment wheel, you just hand tighten it as much or little as you want, then rotate the tool until it cuts, it has a U shaped blade on the end with a scandy grind so that its always perfectly flush.

Those gigantic white zip ties are more likely to be used in HVAC, to strap insulating material to vent pipes and such. And the only reason #1 was any improvement over the standard friction strap is not only because of that constant tension of the spring, but because you literally strapped a gas can to the base of your bed with only one strap with two points of contact, and the only thing "securing" the can to the bed in that case was what little friction there was between the nylon strap and, i'm assuming, the flat metal top of the can.... which is basically no friction. A better example of what could have been done with the typical strap would have been to wrap the strap around the handle of the gas can before hooking it to the bed. It still might not have had AS secure of a hold as the spring assisted one for obvious reasons, but it probably would have handled it a bit better. Long story short: Of course putting the friction strap under the handle to hold the gas can in place wasn't going to do too great. That'd be like looking at someone with a flatbed truck loaded up with plywood or drywall or something of the sort, and only strapping it from one side, across the top, and down the other side, and calling that adequate.

Those very, very, very big zip ties are for flexible duct, like you would see in some HVAC systems.

31:20 This guy, lmao. "can you just use it as a regular screwdriver?" I can never tell if he's joking or serious.

[@aisforannihilation1662]

Apparently that last zip tie is for holding down elephants 😂

14:17 OMG, you LOVE Zip Ties, Tyler!!! 😂😂😂 😍🥰🙌❤🩷🧡

Zip tie tool for the win! 🏆

[@Thatweirduncle]

glad to see tyler is only furthering the times I have seen people using Milwaukee bits on dewalt tools. Its just as funny as the constant craftsman on Milwaukee tools.

the torque straps are great for kayaks, you should not use ratchet straps on kayaks when loading on roof hooks because you could tighten them to the point of breaking the plastic. However when going long distances, the regular cam straps also wiggle loose. the torque straps prevent that.

[@degtyarev708]

We've all seen what Tyler does to tools, and y'all are questioning his ability to tip over a gas can with a "really hard turn"? The real question is how he expects a ratchet strap to keep a can upright in an upsidedown truck.

The "other project" with the extension cable was definitely the electric hammer lol

[@mmartian1969]

Zip tie guns are a must have. I worked at a metal shop and we had them there. I bought one for home after using it. The wire strippers vary greatly in quality. There are some nice ones like that, but there are many out there that are pure trash. Your nut buster is known as a nut splitter. I’ve only ever used the manual ones you use with a ratchet.

One tool you didnt know about, but every working man needs - A "Shammer with socket end"
