I started watching you when I was 19. I’ll be 27 this year. I’ve learned more from you about life, tools, and just generally being a good man than anyone else in my life could have ever taught me. In that time I got into the trades (HVAC). I’ve gotten married, had a son, and joined the Marines. And anytime I’m having a rough go at it I just pull you up on KZbin and watch your videos. It’s not what your videos are about that keep us watching. It’s the way you make them, your excitement, and enthusiasm will keep us watching as long as you want to make them. Thank you for making an impact on my life and I’m sure the lives of many other young men.

[@brettcasto3356]

Very well said, and thank you for your service!

[@danieldickson460]

A very thoughtful and true statement!

[@NYRangersteve]

Thank you for your service!

[@slipknotmaggot29]

I don't remember what age I started watching, but I'm 26 now, and not having a father around or grandfather's to grow up and learn from, Cody has definitely made an impact in my life, I keep watching to learn something new, I'm now a buisness owner, just a bit over a year now.

[@raptureready9502]

I agree. He is a blessing to everyone with ears to hear

[@Chris68688]

Started watching your videos when I was 18 and I’ll be 23 In may, sounds cheesy to say but growing up without a dad you’ve been the biggest father figure in my life and have taught me so much about stuff I thought I’d never get to learn without a dad and I’m sure I can speak for lots of other young men as well. Thank you Mr. Wranglerstar you don’t know how important you are to all of us.

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I have two sets of tools at work. The box in the maintenance crib has all my quality stuff. When I am rebuilding gearboxes, drives, pumps, spindles, hydraulic cylinders....the bench work, it's with those tools. Snap-On, Craftsman, Proto, Channel Lock, etc. When I get a call on the production floor, I grab my bag full of Harbor Freight stuff. We use a wet coolant system with sluices under each machine to carry away the chips and swarf created by machine tools. Your hands are always slimy and so are your tools. All the sudden you hear tink tink tink and a wrench you lost grip on is now white water rafting to the sump in the basement, 100 yards away. Occasionally you can recover them inside the hoppers, but it's rare. Or you think you have everything and you left some tools sitting somewhere inside the machine...gone. Never to be seen again. And people "borrowing" tools as well....gone, never to be seen again. So that's my system, it works pretty well. And it saves me from replacing high dollar items as frequent

[@kevinpackard6518]

A few days ago my smoke alarm went off. Simply Safe called me and said, "dinner is done".

[@brw3079]

As a professional aircraft maintenance technician, I have had coworkers borrow my Snap-on wrenches and sockets because they get into tighter spaces than any other brand. Just a small change can make a difference sometimes.

[@midamort]

The last minute of this hit pretty hard with where I’m at in my life. Stuck in the medical field where every week there’s a new mandate or some kind of sensitivity training. I got into the field to help save lives but all it feels like I do now is follow orders by people that shouldn’t be giving them in the first place and when I question I’m told not to. That led me to really look at what I want to do for the rest of my life, which in turn led me to choose to start welding school and become a CWI and to work for myself. It’s thanks to channels like this that put me back in touch with my construction background. Funny how I quit construction only 5 years ago because I thought I was bettering myself, but now I’m choosing to go back to it to better myself.

[@professornuke7562]

You are so right. I've been in health for over thirty years, and that has been the case. Spent my long service leave doing gardening. It's a very satisfying way of earning a living.

[@ObsessionAddicted]

ED RN, right there with you…

[@scottybobatv]

The reason i started watching your channel 4 years ago was because your enthusiasm was infectious Cody. It was that enthusiasm that kept me watching, its why I subscribed and its why I'm a member. I also saw that you are a good man and it made me think about the sort of man I could be. Now I'm a man of God wheras 4 years ago wasnt. Steel sharpens steel cody and I watch you because I learn new skills, shop skills and life skills. I also see that your only human and you own up to your failings. God bless you brother

[@johnburnitin1027]

When I went to work at the railroad, there was a set of Williams wrenches all the way up to 2" that were already old, when I got there. They had a hard life. I used them for 46 years and never babied them. They were left for the next guy to try and wear them out. They were good, heavy and felt great in the hand. Can't go wrong with Williams.

[@mattbishop8432]

Thank you for sharing your life with us!! I’ve watched you for longer than I can remember. Back in the wrangler barn days, back when KZbin was commercial free and no where near as popular. :) it’s been a joy to watch your journey!

[@DaroffApFire]

As an ASE certified master mechanic that's Ford, GM and Chrysler certified.I do indeed give my nod of approval. What a wonderful kit. Job well done Cody. And I really, really appreciate you bringing us all along and sharing your life with us. It's truly been a pleasure and an honor and I look forward to all of the future content you have coming up.

[@Worthrhetime]

Well said , I thinking the same way. Couldn’t express it better . Nice .

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I was concerned when the stream had disappeared. Hopefully it was just an audio problem

[@alexgalloway4795]

you will never regret buying good quality tools, this is very true! as a mobile mechanic it makes all the difference. never fun to spend the nut upfront but totally necessary for someone whos serious about getting the job done

[@probeteam9936]

True story brother...

[@RLSteffler]

Well, sometimes it's fun

[@imandy44]

I've been watching this channel for around four to five years. I am 31 now and for me, I cannot express how rejuvenating and invigorating it has been to explore these subjects in the manner you express. I grew up learning woodworking and basic mechanic skills from my dad. Not to say I haven't stopped learning from him (because I do each and every day), but that was the spark of my own passion. And winding down from a long day at work and expounding on the subjects previously instilled on me by my dad has been absolutely wonderful. Five years ago, I would have never thought, "I should remake the handle on my hatchet". But after trying it, every single wooden handled tools I own has been shaved, sanded, and oiled with love. And I loved doing it! YOU have furthered that spark of passion, and pushed my soul in the direction it needed to go. My wife and I are working on starting our family, and the direction of our next chapter is fueled with knowledge behavior I have learned from watching this channel. In both the technical and spiritual sense. I never comment on videos, but felt compelled to express my own experience after hearing your words (even though this simple paragraph only summarizes the tip of the iceberg). Always follow your passion, and I look forward to the coming content. God Bless - Andy.

[@tedsmith4311]

These videos are the best on KZbin bar none, the production, the lighting, the audio. I don’t even think there’s a close second. Not to mention I’ve learned more from Cody in the past year than I have in 18 years of school.

[@simonthebroken9691]

Thank you for being transparent. I'm soo tired of being manipulated by our culture. Integrity matters. If you lose yours I won't throw a fit. I'll just stop watching. Thank you for the honesty. I continue to take a personal moral inventory. When I'm wrong I promptly admit it. First to myself, then to those I've wronged. Thank you. Fear God. Tell the truth. Go to work.

[@605portdawg]

Cody as I have told you before. Your content is amazing. There may be days I pick and choose what I watch to my liking but I tend to come back and watch the other stuff later. Why because your genuine American loving man! Your experience and insight has helped me grow as a man just in the last 3 years I have been watching you. And I am 49 years old. Thanks for what you do and stay being you! Of course we do like to see Mrs. W as well sometimes. :)

[@kodywilliamson473]

The last three minutes completely explains why I, and several thousand people follow and watch you. Cody, you are still down to earth

[@mattphillips1910]

Fantastic video Cody! I found you because of the ram pumps......I have stayed along since then, and really enjoy your channel. Your comments about hard work and sticking with it are very important things to say, or even do entire videos about. Our younger people need these lessons, and a good act to follow. Thank you for all you have shared over the years. Great content!

[@sandimkoffer4201]

What a great mindset Cody! 👍 I‘m about to turn 50 years old this year, and I see so many thoughts, fears and motivation about the little and also the big issues in life that we have in common. As a man, husband, professional homeowner and father of two kids, I enjoyed and learned a lot of things from you, and, I‘ve seen many of my ideas and perceptions to be confirmed by you. I also lost my father 11 years ago, this is one of many things where I felt so close to you. I‘ve seen videos which literately made my cry. But after about 4 years I still enjoy the entertainment of your content! Keep listening to your heart and do whatever makes you and your wonderful family happy! It’s great to observe your development! Best regards from Germany!

[@pascalrouen]

I’ve been watching since 2012, when I was 19 or 20. Now I’m about to turn 30. You’ve taught me more things than I could put into words.

[@andrewrees5426]

Cody, I’ve been with you for most of your decade on KZbin. I’m still here and just love growing with you. I’m 54 and get where you are at. I don’t always agree with some things but completely respect you as a good and honest human being. You give me the inspiration to emulate you. There are very few people in this world that are able to do that. Gotta love a rant, keep at it my old friend! Very best wishes from a brother in the UK.

Was a final video of this series ever published? The one with the Cart that ties it all together?

I think there might be some audio problems? Edit, it's been fixed!

Ah finally, something I can comment on! Thank you for the refreshing tool review. I'm an ASE Master Diesel tech (retiredx3). All my hand tools are American made. I have favorites, calluses, scars and opinions...but my favorite wrenches are SnapOn BLACK IRON,non chromed. These babies are gripable and not thin or slippery. The William's brand has also been a favorite. Great video.

[@D2O2]

Glad my vote counted! Thank you!

[@matthewschram1100]

Keep making content that you’re motivated about… I would normally never watch a video about somebody fixing their German cuckoo clock… But I sat through your whole video and watched the whole thing because I’m interested in what you’re doing and how you go about solving your problems… anything you do that you’re passionate about is going to keep an audience… you are very good at what you do and I’m so glad you have found a way to motivate yourself to make more videos

With regards to tools, life is both too long and too short to spend with any but the best.

[@chrisbeyer4432]

This was an awesome video, I'm not exactly watching this video because I need tools, I am a typical kid that got roaped into buying 50k of snap on tools because I'm a mechanic. I'm watching this video because I try to catch every video you make, I choose your channel over any television show. I've learned so much from you, I've gained passions as I learned that your interests fall in line with what I find interesting, and I could not thank you enough for the things you've taught me. When I was younger, my dad picked work over family and unfortunately he was not there to be a role model for me, and my pap passed when I was a year old, leaving me without any male role models, I've stumbled through life trying to find my way on my own. The day I found your channel is the day I started learning how to do tasks that I wished I'd learned, I've learned how to be a better man, I've adopted your mind set of trying to do everything in a way that I could be proud of. That being said, I couldn't help but notice almost every video you've made in your current homestead has been different, I felt like the light has left your eyes and this has become more of a job for you. This video you have admitted that my fears are actually true, but now that it has come to light, I have faith that you will follow this path to rekindle the things that have brought you such happiness. Words can not express how much I'd like to thank you for all of the amazing content you have blessed us with, but I'd still like to say thank you. God bless you and your family.

[@FountainCityVol]

Of all the tools in the kit, I can’t believe you didn’t go with the new Eagle Grip locking pliers by Malco . They even have a Snap On version for a little bit more. I’m sure other Wranglerstarites will also let you know about this. It is hard to go wrong with Knipex but the new Eagle Grips are made in the old Vise Grip factory in Dewitt, Nebraska factory. Either way, a very nice tool kit that you assembled.

[@RLSteffler]

Yeah I don't use locking pliers but those Malcos look amazing. Trying to find an excuse to buy a pair haha

[@masonranabauer4864]

He so correct the reason I love this channel is because of the honesty and the authenticity. To many channels all follow the same annoying fake enthusiasm “WHATS UP GUYS WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER BANGER COPS CALLED 10k GIVEAWAY”. I’m so thankful to Cody for saying no the the worldly trends and fads and making content he himself enjoys and I do as well.

[@carlzirk]

Thanks for completing the kit. Yes, need the adjustable wrench. I use a big adjustable wrench for bending metal back into shape. Doesn't take hand strength to hold like pliers.

[@mrsamzero1]

FYI. My shop teacher back 1967, in Jr. High School pointed out Cresent is the brand name, correct terminology is "open end adjustable wrench.

[@9696scott]

I am 31 years old and have spent 12 years buy quantity not quality. This was very necessary due to the number of specialized tools needed to complete jobs on different name brand cars. At this point, I have every tool I could need. 2 post lift, welder, plasma cutter, hand tools ect. Now I am reinvesting into better hand tools. This is because the Chinese hand tools have worn through the chrome and the brass/cooper is showing underneath. This has caused a few striped bolts. I wish I had the money when I was younger but that was not an option. Thanks for the great videos.

[@kenrebro2746]

Your channel is well established. Take as long a break as it takes but don’t come back too soon, just come back for your best effort. You’ve earned it. We will miss you and we will be here. Last note: asked my doc the other day if ok to toggle between off/on taking some meds. He said yes. Ok with some medicines. Can this be the same for a YT channel? I think yes in your case.

[@isaacwagner9918]

Heck yeah let’s go!!! I just got on board of your channel late last year but everything I watch I’ve learned something from your videos!! It’s almost like being next to my own dad and working on things with him you know so many different things and it’s a pleasure to watch your videos

[@bradnelson253]

Cody, I'll probably never have a "homestead" or do many of the things you do on your channel, especially buy an anvil. However I have always been impressed and drawn to those who have a passion for something. That's what I think makes a channel watchable... the passion for what you do. Thanks for sharing and enriching our lives and being an inspiration to find our own passions.

[@coreysmithsvt]

I’m a shift electrician at a plant. A 5” Knipex pliers wrench, cobra pliers, a 6 in one screwdriver and a multimeter take care of 90% of the work I need done.

[@aprelax8427]

Touching on if you're happy or not, I had the same thing when my partner and I bought our first home back in August. I'm 27 and in my head I thought I could go whole hog and get everything done as soon as we moved and forgot about taking a simple day off. We sat down a couple of weeks ago and realised that we haven't taken a good family day or anything like that... Best thing I did was to take a week off from doing anything and just taking the time with the kids and my partner. That's had me back on track and I feel so much better now

[@kevinc.8869]

I'm a lifelong mechanic by trade. Close to 40 years. I still like the old 70s-80s SK tools. Naturally Snap-on, Mac, and Matco, dominate the tool quality market. Alluding to a recent tool video, you mentioned Blue Point, my Snap-on man told me they are the same wrench as Snap-on. The only difference being the finish. There are several older names of renown quality that take up residence in my toolbox are, Williams, Proto, and Cornwell. All American made.

[@AlexHartford]

Cody, I went and rewatched your anvil videos from back in the day and it seems like the attitude you had toward creating (videos and projects alike) back then is what you are trying to regain again. I look forward to following along with your transition of the channel. Cheers!

[@JaketheJOATGOAT]

I have wright wrenches. Another really good quality USA wrench set.

[@CAJones-bu6tu]

I think I have missed only a handful of videos over the last 6yrs or so. I agree with 99% of what you say and do. One of the things I like so much is what you are doing and have to say about what you are up too. So keep it up. And I’m pretty sure the Napa Carlyle adjustable wrenches are rebranded Wright Tool ones.

[@skullandcrossbones65]

G'day, I sometimes regret buying expensive, high quality tools. It is typically when they get dropped into the bowls of a machine not to be seen again.

[@AndyRoche]

Cody, I started watching you many years ago when I was laid off and wanted to think about something other than the hard work of finding a new job, learn a few things, and be uplifted. Your enthusiasm for learning and trying new things is what hooked me and I have enjoyed the journey along the way. I do miss some of the old content but times change and I am really enjoying watching you setup the new household and figuring out the new environment since I too moved in the past 2 years. Your shop videos have helped me think about how I will want to lay out my shop once we finally have our own place again. I appreciate all your hard work and I am glad to hear you are getting back in the swing of things.

[@earlyriser8998]

Very good. Shared rant fits my thinking. We moved to a 110 acre farm in July.....now making it our homestead.

I am 24 years old I I have learned so much from your videos, I have never not enjoyed a video you’ve made past to present! Thank you for keeping it going!

[@MrMadeinthe80s]

Ball hitch nut is bigger than 1.25", so technically a Professional Homeowner would need that larger size eventually lol.

[@howardkendrick3525]

Wright is indeed a great USA toolmaker! I have said it before, and will say it again, the Wright 2.0 (Wright Tool 952) is a great value at less than the Williams set (same size set for ~$200). As an added bonus, the wright has the cuts in the open end just like the Snap-On. Great USA made value!!

[@tomreese9127]

I worked in a paper mill (TP) and carried a 12” crescent wrench and a Channel lock pliers every day. When Knipex came out everybody wanted to know where I got them.

[@anthonyca]

My favorite part of this video was the last 30 seconds. Many of us have had the "get a safe, secure job with benifits and a pension" pounded into us. The last year showed us that is the least secure and least amount of freedom of all. I know many people who lost that pension and career because they refused to take part in a forced experiment on thier health. I know many more who took part in the experiment without informed consent, against thier will amd under duress for fear of financial ruin. We need more discussions about how to not be in that boat and to teach young men how to never get in that boat or atleast to have a lifeboat when it's time to bail out.

[@girfalcon1]

Absolutely, Cody. Do what you love. We love the channel because we share so much in common, so trust your passions. They'll overlap and evolve and we will too

[@Jerkasaur]

I don't have a preference for what videos you make. I just enjoy watching and learning about tools and skills that my dad never got to teach me. Thanks for all the knowledge sharing.

I lost my grandfather on Wednesday. Spent alot of my childhood with him on his Farm working on tractors, cutting hay, hunting, and learning to be a good self sufficient man.

I'm 36 years old and I'm thankful for all the years God gave me with him, and I'll miss him every day. Thank you for your wisdom and honesty Cody. I've watched you for many years and always enjoy your videos.

I've been watching your vids for about 10 years or more, not even sure anymore. Probably watched just about every vid you've posted and bought your book. Yea, your channel changed but so have I.

Doing the things you love will keep the passion in what you do, and it does convey over to your content. People will enjoy following your journey! Thanks again for taking the time to share your journey!

[@photoboy154]

THANK YOU Cody!!! I was talking about this to my girlfriend just the day before. I told her, “I love watching Wranglerstar and would prefer to see the forge set up first if I have to choose… But a month ago he said he had one more tool kit video in the series. I just want that finished first! LOL” I’ve loved this series, and Jack is going to have a heck of a starter set! Quick side question if you have time… What would you recommend carrying in a minivan that isn’t all too secure in an area with a lot of car prowlers? This kit is great for working on vehicles at home in the shop, but I wouldn’t want them stolen out of my company van. I carry a Leatherman with the bit-kit and ratcheting bit extender as well as a magnetic flashlight in my EDC, but last month my battery died all they way to the point that I couldn’t even jump start it and here I was “gadget EDC guy” without being able to undo the the 3 fasteners to change my battery…

[@photoboy154]

I think I found the car tool kit video. My favorite part… It’s called “20 Winter Truck Tools & Tricks you NEED to Have” from Oct 17, 2021… However, it mentions exactly 46 or 47 different items depending on how you count (including the SAE and metric sets of Allen Wrenches as “one item”). The fourth item you mention is “a folding hand saw or a small axe” so I listed that as a single item.

[@kerryjoeharn9646]

[@simonthebroken9691]

Everyone needs to make their own choice. Multiple lifetime quality verses get it now, break it tomorrow. If you need something in a hurry, fine. Personally it depends on what it is for me. I struggle buying anything from Harbor Freight. I had some loading ramps that were dangerously weak. They wouldn't hold up 100 pounds. If I can pick something up I don't need ramps. The ramps were advertised at 500 pounds. Total fallacy. I then checked the jack stands and engine hoists. Looked and felt incredibly weak. I won't trust them on anything that I could end up in the ER.

[@paulgrimmer2230]

I'm a true fan Mr. W follow your passions, I'll follow along for the ride. Also As a Canadian I too put lots of value on supporting local and buying Canadian manufactured goods, but can I add an addendum to that adage, because I see you seemingly struggling with the inclusion of quality, but not non U.S made goods in your tool box and presumably life in general. The last few weeks has really shown that we (the West) are all in this together and when the chips are down we rely on each other. Supporting a German factory worker ensures that they are paid fair wages and are able to buy quality U.S made goods. Let's support quality work done by people who are fairly paid for their effort, regardless of where they happen to live and lets say no to low quality slave labour junk and the systems that make it possible. Keep on keepin' on Brother!

[@CrummyVCR]

I'm not a handy person by any means and I am painfully introverted. But over the last two years out of sheer boredom, I've been collecting tools and trying to fixing them up bit by bit. I got to meet a bunch of really cool people along the way and it became clear to me over the course of time that I was gaining insight, and skills on how to repair things , and at the same time know I can talk to people a little more easier. Videos like yours and other made me realize I needed to get out there more and see what I could really do. I do feel better knowing I'm not completely lacking now lol. Thanks Cody. :)

[@towhee7472]

You're part of a new phenomenon that you're not aware of, Cody: You're like a father to a lot of young boys and men who grew up without one around. The passion you describe in your videos is more than just the tools, repairs and builds, it's all the challenges of life that they revolve around it. I learned how to tow a vehicle in the army, I thought it was common knowledge, which was wrong. Now there's hundreds of thousand of young men out there who saw you organize the tools, drive out to your friend who was stuck on the side of the road in snow and tow his truck out of the ditch. This is not just a job, it's an experience, one that many wish they had with their fathers.

[@kstofkos]

Your review of the video response along with the balance of the video was perfect and spot on. When you mentioned what was in the video response I turned to the misses and said, the guy isn't wrong. And your response to that was perfect. 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

Sometimes you need a thinner wrench for applications like flash hiders. Many are too thick and don't fit the flats right, and interfere with crush washer and hider dimensions forward of flats. What is a good snap ring plier for AR14(

[@feyrband]

Channel lock has made in USA snap ring pliers for around $30. If you are looking for something cheaper, the Quinn from HF have worked well for me as someone that's only using them a couple times a year. I think they were like $12 with coupon, $16 without . Channel lock also makes thin jaw adjustable wrenches I've used on muzzle and barrel both (depending on the barrel nut style)

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

@@feyrband I want quality, and tips that are tough. If I can find that for 30$ that is a win. Was debating on buying a good set, just in case need for other applications working on vehicles or something.

The most compelling content on youtube is watching someone chase their own passions and hobbies.

[@webb-cast1030]

Thank you for the quality content for all these years. You were my first KZbin subscription. I would be all about videos of still pictures of progress on shop infrastructure projects. That way you could really get down to the business of working on and completing critical projects around your house without all of the work and distractions that come with professional videography. Jeff Baron is doing something similar on his house building videos. I find it just as entertaining as watching him pound every nail. I'd log in every day, and be happy to do it, to look at pictures of your progress. A short intro or outro explaining what you were up to is all that would be required. God Bless.

The advice my father in-law gave me shortly after I married his daughter is every time you do a new project buy a new tool to complete that project. Eventually you’ll have all the tools you need. The best part about this advice is when my wife objects to a tool purchase I just say, “Your dad told me to!” Some of the projects I’ve done have required more than one new tool. After 11 years of marriage, I find myself making less and less tool purchases.

As a man who enjoys a good argument, I have nothing to argue with on this kit as a place to start. Well done.

[@bobbailey4954]

I will say the size marking of the wrench could be larger on the Williams however I can buy a lot of reading glasses for the price difference on the wrenches only.

[@mattshaffer5935]

I had a teacher in A&P school who if he caught you with a crescent wrench would throw it into the woods! Thanks for the great rant!

[@hobypatrick]

What we like Cody is you sharing with us what you do day to day. Challenges and successes. Laughing with you when you make mistakes. Because that is exactly what we do. Now when I make my mistakes there will probably be more cussing. But we laugh. Keep it up brother

[@atlascharles6895]

Cody, can't wait for what will come! I'm happy you're going to make videos on things that you like to do. Just like you said, people can sense what isn't authentic. If you do what you love to do, no matter what it is, and having the kind of enthusiasm you have, I have no doubt that it will be interesting, educational and fun to watch. Happy Sabbath and God bless!

[@yurimodin7333]

my dad always told me the reason the Snap-On wrenches hurt your hands is that was about the point they thought you needed a bigger wrench.

[@Ps2352]

Generally in life you get what you pay for. Pay cheap=get cheap. I’ve learned this over years of life experiences. 👍

[@jarred8733]

Wright has been one of my favorite brand of tools for the longest time. Everything they make is pure quality.

[@aaronchristopher9777]

You tube didn’t want to play you today! Had to refresh some 20 times. Knock it off KZbin!

[@Damian_mtn]

The Klein 20 in One, ratcheting screwdriver is much better, imo, than that Williams. More options, the bits have a place to mount to…not just sitting loose in the handle…and is a much sturdier feeling driver.

[@jhowe5571]

I think you hit the nail on the head! Your enthusiasm is very much inspiring to many watching your videos!👍😄

[@magwee24]

Would be a cool series if you picked up a bunch of old vintage tools and restored them.. those type of videos are some of the first videos I remember watching of yours.. loved those kinds!!

[@lukehodgson5222]

Going to look into these Williams tools. Thanks for the info.
