To be fair, cinderblocks will break if you look at them for long enough

[@MichaelWilliams-vb6wr]

Toated block for a bricklayer and you drop one from 3ft and it breaks you ain't wrong with this comment

[@1pcfred]

How easy it is to break concrete block depends on its age. Fresh block is pretty delicate. It takes 28 days for concrete to reach its rated strength and concrete just keeps getting harder the longer it ages. Concrete is actually a crystal. Like those those crystals you grow in water when you're a child. Concrete is something like that. The crystals interlocking is what gives concrete its strength. Blocks haven't been made out of cinders for a long time now. Just FYI. They're made out of concrete today.

[@jakeaboutit]

You could do the same application with duct tape. Or just whack it with a 2x4. He was way over impressed

[@johnmack537]

A couple of screws would likely have made the two boards strong enough to break the cinder block, and be A LOT cheaper.

[@coreytaggart128]

Wood really is about the best chance for that stuff, glue can penetrate and when it dries and constricts has the most chance to compress into and grip it. copper pipe where it is smooth and won't compress showed the other side of that.

[@EthelJung-j5w]

That fiber flex is definitely just casting tape. The stuff we use in the clinic activates with water and hardens in 10-15.

As a mechanic, if you want a true test of the hand cleaner, lather some grease from a grease gun (for fittings), theb rub your hands around a dirty engine. Thats much more representative of our hands at the end of the day than just fresh oil and rubbed in dirt🤣 I've never worked in a shop that had dirt readily available to rub our hands in😂

[@The93Vector]

The hand cleaner was basically GoJo or any other pumice hand soap. Rejected.

[@sintanan469]

Yup. Its just GoJo with some hand lotion. You can get something similar by just taking some dish soap and mixing in some clay powder. Lacks the pumice, but does everything you need in a solid cleaner.

I got the grypmat for my husband andhe loves it. The nice thing that john didnt mention was that chemicals will not eat the silicone. And you have a place to put all the bolts, screws, ect that will not roll around and lose them. You can throw it right on the engine if you want. Worth it, but look out for sales or bundles when you buy it.

[@petrolhead0387]

Its also heat resistant, I use one for soldering and the molten solder doesn't even mark it, let alone burn it.

[@Asylus]

How well does it work on wet surfaces?

[@smokeybowls187]

​@@AsylusDon't personally own it, but I'd imagine it should work as well as any other silicone mat on a wet surface; think silicone bath mats, for example. The effectiveness largely comes down to both how wet & polished the surface is though. A wet, highly polished surface is quite slick and even silicone may not grip as effectively if at all.

[@ipissed]

He's going to knock his tools off into the engine compartment and lose them. A tool belt for tools, and a tackle box for nuts and bolts. Never pile anything around the engine compartment, it's like a black hole. Is this his fancy MAC tools ratchet I found the other day. It cost way more than the Grypmat. Oh well finders keepers.

[@nikkafrog]

@ipissed have you ever worked on an engine? While working on it, you want to everything in reach. Tools belts are for carpentry, not mechanics. The grypmat stops the tools rolling around. Between the silicone gripping and the lip on the tray. The reason this brand is a little different than other silicone trays is the chemicals resistant. Silicone is great for heat and sticky things like glues and resins. But sucks with acetone and brake cleaner. Even nail mats which should be acetone safe since how often it is used in nails, aren't. Reason: That type of silicone is expensive. Some things are worth spending more due to quality. (I think the end of your comment was about price. That was hard to understand)

What John had is a concrete block and how easily a concrete block breaks depends on what kind of block it is and how old it is. That looked like an 8" lightweight to me.

That said, the mistake most people make is holding the nail like you would hold a pencil. If you do miss and hit a finger or tumb you are hitting on the side of the nail. This can result in cutting the nail into the finger, or even tearing the nail partly from the nail bed which is very painful. Instead turn your palm facing up and hold the nail between two fingers. Then if you do miss you are hitting the soft flexible side of the finger. Sure you can still do damage, but it would take a much harder hit to do serious damage compared to the other method. More importantly you should never try and hit a nail so hard that it drives completely into the wood while holding it. Just tap it lightly until the tip is stuck, then move your fingers and finish driving it in. If you want a tool that requires the use of one hand to hold a nail and protect your hand, pliers have been around literally for thousands of years. A pair of needle noise or slip joint pliers is already perfect for this job and offers much more dexterity that this ridiculous tool. 8:40 This product is actually genius. I can't believe someone figure out how to sell dirt for $10 an ounce. I would bet all they did was mix a little dirt and orange juice into dawn dish soap. That said. I spend many years working in the oil field. Arguably one of the dirtiest jobs on the planet. All I used to clean was dawn dish soap. That got everything from oil and grease in my hair to that grime under your nails thats nearly impossible to get out. Also you can buy a large bottle for less than this tiny bottle of dirt soap cost. 10:30 This is actually pretty smart. I hope its made of metal instead of plastic. 13:50 Fiberglass already exists. 17:20 You could just as easily break that with just the board, or even your fist wearing a glove. Those blocks are DESIGNED to hold weight on the top and bottom and are very weak on the sides. 20:28 While there is no justification for this to cost more than $20 tops, its not a bad product. I think instead of using it to hold tools I would cram it under parts I'm removing to ensure I couldn't drop a bolt or nut that then gets lost down in the engine or the frame somewhere. For holding tools. I use a full sized plastic barrel. It only cost $30 new, its very light weight and easy to move around, and it offers a much larger surface to put tools on. Just role it over where you are working for an instant table about the same height as the hood. 23:12 Again, electric knives already exist. You can get one at walmart for $15

Less than 2 minutes in.... John be catering to the "Bear"- lovin' community. Great lookin' w!fe-be@ter. And, that tire? Yeah, you show that tire whose Daddy, I mean _Scrub Daddy._ Yeah, get that tire good and clean. 😁

[@Andy.....]

Idk why you popped up on my feed but love the video! Not boring, no wasted time, I didn't fast forward through any of it. You just got a new subscriber!!

[@_Briegel]

Liquid soap and sawdust help just as well and cost much less. And for REALLY extreme dirt deep in a worker's callused hand, add some silica sand. Mix everything into a creamy paste, fill it into a can and enjoy the best and cheapest cleaning agent against heavy skin soiling there is. I have been using it for over 50 years and have never found a ready-made product that is anywhere near as good as the cream I make myself from soap, wood flour and a little quartz sand!

That fiber fix is amazing I used it on a pipe leak 7 years ago paid $8 bucks for it saved me $500

[@MarkKelly1307]

Need more Sam & Ranger material. Yinz are sitting on a goldmine there. Cheers, Mark

[@ItsSeanTheProducer]

I've used FiberFix to repair the broken legs of a metal bird feeder stand. After the repair, I hammered the stand into the ground. Recently, a tree cutting crew had to move the stand to work in my yard. They wrenched the stand out of the ground, did their work, and hammered it back into the ground. The FiberFix held everything together just fine.

[@EEF2077]

We use a soy based cleaner at work. It works just as good as any other hand cleaner.

[@liraco_mx]

18:06 I did not expect the SFX and actually laughed. 😂

[@Vickie-Bligh]

That electric knife gadget was ridiculous. If I ever saw it, I would laugh. Not at the novelty but at the person wielding it (that said, the watermelon looked delish). The gooey tape stuff, not worth it. Heck, Flex Tape actually works on leaks and holding crap together. The step thing looks intriguing. This was a fun one, John. Thanks for sharing.

[@Univhorn]

A little bit of oil on the fingers while pinching a chaw of dark winter green is the best tasting dip you'll ever have.

[@dakotareid1566]

The scrub daddy is a kitchen product now a car cleaner 😂

[@3DJapan]

Back in the 80s my mom was a construction worker and came home every day south really dirty hands. I recall she used Lava soap south pumice stone in it. It was very gritty.

[@nephicus339]

I mean, as long as it's not dried out; FiberWeld is great to keep around the cabin or cottage as a temporary fix out in the boonies. Also, they probably made a specific water proof version because of those gaps in the fabric which still did a decent job to slow the flow.

[@JP-WC]

You can buy silicone work trays from about anywhere. I got some at good'ol Harbor Freight.

[@kylerhyne1349]

Man, I ran a produce department with a fresh fruit operation for 3 years and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that you have the most mid way of cubing a melon i've ever witnessed. Almost there, but you should start with cutting the ends off, then you can stand the whole melon on its end, you can see where the depth of the rind is and begin your cut at the top and spin the melon as you're making cuts along the edge, then you can cube the remaining flesh or make wedges or do whatever.

"It looks like it hates it's life" while John standing on it almost had me in tears 😅

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

I like the idea of the hand wash products. I am of those mechanics cant seem to get my hands clean enough. I constantly wash my hand while working and some of the chemicals used to spray parts clean dry your hands out so bad. The coconut oil is an nice addition to the micro scrubbers. At work im just used to using the miroscrubber brand and a squirt of the regular lotion brand of soap. Seems like a good home use product.

[@AgentAviStar85]

I used the fiber fix to repair my closet rod because it was cheaper than buying a new rod. It's still holding strong 7 years later. Also the original one I remember having came with rubber that you would wrap the pipe with first and then the fi er wrap to create the "water tight" seal.

[@marylhere]

The scrub daddy works best when the water isn’t so hot it burns your hands. More aggressive when cold. Works good on crusty heels as well.

[@major1040]

Grip clean is amazing. Hands down the best wipes and soap I’ve ever used

[@williamburdon6993]

The fiber hammer is a trick, concrete is extremely strong in a couple of directions ,if it is over a cavity , it is weak as a kitten

[@Fun.Guy.Forager]

Magnetic tool trays all the way. I wouldn't buy it but not mad if i got it as a gift. Now if they could mold in the middle layer a thin sheet of flexable magnets in it for extreme angles id buy it. Even if they took several neodymium magnets spaced out like poka dots inside the mat that would work.

[@masonurycki5456]

10:34 “gonna test it on my JACKED UP 250!” Bro that’s a truck with maybe a 5 inch lift. You made it sound like you had a truck that had 10-15 inches of lift. 😂😂😂

[@victorpapaavp]

I have a similar step thing that I bought off of Amazon a while back, it's magnificent for getting access too my roof rack on my overland rig. I still end up scaling my back tires with my smartcap rack, but to get above the cab... well worth it for my short king self.

[@TheGreatChrisB]

That mat actually is perfect for working on cars. Partially because it is bright orange, so you won't lose track of small parts on it. It also lets you put your tools anywhere without worrying about them scratching anything. Plus everyone forgets a tool or socket somewhere when working on their car, if you have a large mat to hold everything, you won't forget you sat a 10mm socket on the airbox or something

[@Soulcrusher820]

Grip clean has the most honest advertising on social media. They’ll show if the product doesn’t work great on a certain substance.

[@ryanmiskin]

I used some of that fiber fix as a temporary patch on a busted water main. It took it from a huge jet of water to a slow drip until I was able to get the pipe replaced.

[@stich1960]

From someone that was rebuilding an 80's grimy engine while having a day job where I could not have grimy hands the trick is taking a bit of used coffee grounds, mixed with dawn, nothing else including gojo or other simular items work as well, combine with a nail brush for best results.

[@1pcfred]

There's the comet and dish soap trick. The best hand cleaner was D&L Blue label when it contained a solvent. It said so right on the can. Contains a solvent! I don't think they make it anymore. But it got you squeaky clean. Probably gave you cancer in the process too. But you'd die with clean hands.

[@Richarddragon22]

you'll never lose an eye with those Shop Shades

[@DaveFromColorado]

I have used fiberfix before, I have ms, when I was still able to walk, I was walking past my daughter's crib and I literally fell into the rail and broke it. I used fiber fix to repair the broken area and it worked. It held that repair all the way up to when we changed it over to a toddler bed and then got rid of it for her twin bed. For 5 years it was working perfectly and we through the hole crimp into the garbage when we upgraded her bed with that repair still working properly. Honestly it felt and looked and smelled just like dark colored cast material, that you would make a cast for a broken bone out of. But it worked for what I needed.

[@Frankie-p1n]

I have a three size set of the gryp mats and as a mechanic I love them use them on every big job

[@blackoak4978]

There's a product available at Canadian Tire called Fast Orange, it's a orange oil based cleaner with pumice. It cleans off paint, oil, dirt, all the stuff that's a pain in the ass to get off your hands, your fingernails, and even under your finger nails

[@richardrybicki749]

In regards to the soap this female had the pleasure of doing maintanance on hubbies equipment.Before starting I used a oilbased soap. Let it dry getting in cracks and under nails .Cleanup was easy.

[@exzyle2k]

I've got a crack in the hood of my lawnmower right near the hinge, and the Fiber Fix is exactly what I was looking for to fix it. Thanks John!
