Learned many years ago to retap holes and replace all hardware wiith better quality stuff after buying an item from H.F. Makes a world of difference.

Opens Snap-On toolbox, pulls out Harbor Freight Tool :) I have plenty of those and that spring compressor too. Nice tool you made. Heat treating it somehow might make the edge hold up longer.

Very nice build but the handle is way too short. For that size tool I would think you are looking at a 14-17 inch long handle to give you the proper balance for the tool and prevent problems with it flying out of your hands with a catch. But brilliant on the reuse of a shock!! Gonna be looking for some! And I would guess that the steel is plenty hard and tough.

I like the video and everything but I'll have to agree, a long handle would be my preference. I'm even tossing around the idea of putting a little weight in the end of my handle too. Not much, just until I like the balance.

Are shocks made of good material? I've thrown away 8 and I wish I hadn't now.

It is hard to know for sure what is inside any of them. The metallurgy would certainly be different from manufacturer to manufacturer. I mentioned in the video that most of them are likely to be softer on the inside with a hard plating on the exterior.

Tiny Little Workshop soft and only shallow hardening makes sense. If your tool stays hard and didn't become easier to grind in the center it could be hard all the way through. I wish I had some to play with to see how it cuts on a lathe with hss and carbide

From what I've been searching and reading, the piston rods seem to be made of chrome plated steel... 42CrMo4 among others (not that good to breathe fumes if welding on it) The tubes might be made out of some regular carbon steel alloy (safe enough to weld).

Don't be a douche. If you don't like it, move on. Try making your own video. 😆😆😆😆😆. Not!
