[@rgreen93021]

Pretty much watched all 611 over the years Tom. Def some gems if not most of them. Thank you.

[@guytech7310]

The videos most rememberable to me were the pranks on Adam Booth. Loved the precision measuring tool: "Stare-At-It"

[@sharkrivermachine]

I was a Central tool dealer when I was in the automotive business. The micrometer is an automotive crankshaft mike. As you said it is sized for connecting rod journals and most mains. I had them and used them extensively for grinding crankshafts, On a rare occasion I would have to break out the 2-3 for some of the larger shafts. Thanks for sharing.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Steve. I figured as much. Thanks for the comment and confirmation. Cheers, Tom

[@karlh6700]

One of the reasons we buggered up case screws is that Japanese PHILLIPS were not, they were JIS

[@wrstew1272]

You beat me to it, now Mr. Tool has to go back and get the correct screwstick for Japanese motorcycles. And….he said “ some of the screws “ not! Every one that I ever encountered was put in by a Gorilla. Everyone that I knew had that mandatory crappy tin box hidden in the back of the tool box. They were like six to ten bucks unless you hit the Overpriced Tool Guy what came to the shops.

[@billmoran3219]

The six to ten dollar one I had bought in 1980 I still have and use has lasted for decades!

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Karl. Good point. I think this driver is #2 phillips specifically. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom

[@bigbird2100]

​@@oxtoolcoit's specific to Japanese screw's they have a punch dot on the head of the screw.

[@Smallathe]

Hi... Just realized no video in a long time! I hope all's well - and Merry Christmas! Please send a word... looking forward for more 2024 meatloafs... :)

[@EVguru]

Hi Tom, it's been great to see you producing content again. On the subject of Japanese case screws, the reason that people struggled with them is that they were not Philips, or Posidirve, but JIS (Japanese Industrial System) instead. I used to have a set of JIS impact bits just for the purpose.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Paul. Good point. Those old school impact drivers sure seemed to take care of them. They must of put some super samurai thread locker on them as well. All the best, Tom

[@EVguru]

@@oxtoolco I don't recall seeing threadlock very often. They tended to use long slender fasteners with a lot of tension in them. They also used stronger alloys for their castings, but with less corrosion resistance. On engines that have stood outside for long periods, I've often found it easier to remove the heads of the fasteners to dismantle the engine, then deal with the stuck threads afterwards.

[@Dreddip]

If you want to have some fun with stuck Phillip's and torque-set fasteners, we have two Lear 31s we're scrapping. You're welcome to come have all the fun you want with'em. I can show you a few of the tool we use to deal with those fasteners in aviation.

[@TheLoxxxton]

Ok where everybody go?

[@hankcohen3419]

I live in Japan and I love Vessel screwdrivers. I used to like Snap-on but now I would take Vessel any day. Super precision fit, well hardened so they never get bunged up by a difficult screw, and super comfortable in the hand.

[@floodo1]

Will check out TY

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Hank. I'm going to agree with you on the Vessels. They seem extremely well made. Better than some of the other top brands I have. Cheers, Tom

[@Bilamac]

327 Chevy main bearing journals are 2.030 and connecting rods are 2.0. Common undersizes for reconditioned crankshafts are - .010 - .020 so that would be the perfect mike for an engine builder.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Bil. Thanks for the comment and confirmation. Cheers, Tom

I have watched them all. Amazing amount of expertise shared. Thank you - I wouldn't be where I am on machining without your video contributions.

Hey Joshua. Thanks for the support and viewership. Cheers, Tom

[@RambozoClown]

Those Vessel are also JIS form, slightly different than Philips and just what is needed for Japanese motorcycles.

[@vitesseguy]

That's the key. It actually fits correctly into Japanese "Phillips" head fasteners.

[@mm9773]

But this one clearly says "PH2” - that’s Phillips. Very sneaky.

[@RambozoClown]

@@mm9773 Last time I checked they are all JIS but are labeled for both, since you can use a JIS in a Philips, but not the other way around.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Bozo. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom

[@brianmoore1164]

You brought back memories about stuck case Phillips screws. I recently picked up a Vessel bit set and I am impressed by the quality of their bits. Vera makes a similar impact driver with swapping bits that is a real shop gem.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Brian. I do like the quality of the Vessel. It seems very well made for the price. Thanks for the comment. Cheers, Tom

Tom, fantastic stories about great people and new tools. I too discovered the Vessel screwdrivers a couple years ago and instantly loved how well the JIS crosspoint engages every 'phillips' head near it. Haven't slipped out (cammed out) once since. I must confess I've seen all 600+ videos you have uploaded. Several of them more than once as I'm a slow learner 😂. All the best to you.

I've personally watched most of your videos and always learned something new. I would actually like to go back through and watch most of them again since I have alot more machining experience now and I'm sure I would pick up some more tips

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Leigh. Thanks for the support and viewership. Cheers, Tom

[@buckinthetree1233]

I'm not sure I've watched every video you've posted, but I've probably watched some episodes as many as 4 or 5 times. I like watching these videos of obscure tools you've purchased as much, if not more, than machining videos. I pick up quite a few ideas from the unique engineering that goes into these tools.

[@oxtoolco]

Hey Bucking. Thanks for the support and viewership. Cheers, Tom

[@MrShobar]

That Central micrometer was configured for use in measuring automotive crankshaft journal diameters. One shortcoming of that screwdriver is that the tip is not replaceable. The "old" percussive impact tools you refer to had multiple tips, and you could even use them to loosen small cap screws. On the plus side, the merchandiser named after a lengthly Brazilian river only wants about $13.50 for it. I've watched at least half of your videos. Many thanks, Tom.

[@DennisDijkman]

Love your content Tom! You’re a big reason I’m in the machinist trade today. I often go back and watch the squareness comparator or composite square builds when there’s nothing on the Tube. I’ll be in the US this summer but unfortunately to late for the bash. Anyway, thanks again for the great content 👍🏻

[@akdenyer]

Thankyou, nice to see you back

[@bearsrodshop7067]

For us that do fall back to rewatch yours & other creators older content, here's one for you, that I wached just an hour ago. 2016 "Machinist Apprentist box (Long format) ! Why? because my interest to learn more about the history of The Kennedy Co. & the differant models by year. When you did that video 7yrs back, I was still paying machine shops for their services.Wasn't till 2019 that I bought my first Lathe.(SB 9 jr). Any who, July 5th I a date with a young man south of me that posted Machinist Tools on FB MP.. Yes, went for a Blake coaxial, but Starrett & B&S said they needed a good home too :-). Wasn't till I saw Randy's last video that showed his Kennedy 256 that I realisted, Damn, "I have the same box"! My first one, now Iam hooked! Pop in and see how this old 70yr + 4 yr Apprentist did organizing his tool boxes. I may never be a true machist, but damn I love finding and collecting good tools! Bear in Tx.

Most of those Japanese motorcycles used 'JIS' (Japanese Industrial Standard) head screws... which Phillips drivers will make a mess out of.

[@wrstew1272]

All caps on the WILL ! Messed up a lot of JIS until I found out about the dot. A Freson bit will work in a pinch, boatbuilders sometimes need the never heard about “different “ head.

One thing I don't like that creators do is post the "have you seen my video from last week" community post. It gets my hopes up that they put something new up until I read the title. Especially when it's a creator that doesn't post that often. I get it, gotta feed the algorithm and whatnot. It's just something that gets on my nerves a little.

Re the old videos. The only options to sort out your video page are now most recent and most popular. Sorting by oldest used to be an option and made it easier to start at the beginning. The only way to start at the beginning is to go back by scrolling and when that twitches and glitches, it back to the start again.
