Speed Binders - Two Year Tear Down and Review- PLUS - Trucking for

[@farmerchris1]

Boy that Farmer Chris must be a real sucker buying everyone’s leftover concrete!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Beats paying for $140 a yard and all the labor to pour a retaining wall, that's for dang sure. And a fella can move the wall anytime. Sounds pretty smart if you ask me lol

[@Crewsy]

One thing for sure he's smart enough to stock up on it when it's cheaper just like all that clay pipe he has stocked up on too. 😉

[@dansevern3291]

We only have one concrete supplier within 100 miles, and they said the "$140 a yard" is now a "limited time offer" so those blocks seem smarter at $40 each. Wish I could get them here, I'd have a big stack of them!

[@alexosborne5629]

It is not really leftover, just precast 😉

GREAT JOB and TIMING! Seems like a decade ago that MIKE introduced the SPEED BINDERS and many channels use them and others don't. Hats off for your efforts in this video to do a MEANINGFUL follow-up INCLUDING - UPDATES, MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, DISASSEMBLY & back! The manufacturer should use your video VIRAL!

Thank you for showing your take down. You talked about salt on roadways. And you mentioned ( Fluid Film) worked meany year driving the rigs that put the salt & Sand plowed the snow and ice off roadways. The last year I worked drove the salt BRINE sprayer. We had a tank on dump bed ( 700) gallons. Instead of sander box spreader. I would spray down the read drive axil of dump truck everytime I came in to refill tank, or take a lunch break. End of shift. Spray fluid Film all over, I also used WD-40 in spray bottle. Just buy it in gallon container. I can tell you are SALT brine dump truck had no corroded issues on axil. Some of the other trucks that just used water to clean of axil, well I saw a lift base support completely cracked in half. You ask why the other trucks were not sprayed with ( Fluid Film) my supervisor thought I was full of BS, he was a total control freak, very EGO driven. If he did not come up with idea, it was all garbage as far as he was concerned. I can tell you from driving the trucks that get beaten with the salt BRINE the most on vehicle. That ( Fluid Film) works, please people try it. It helps also on loader bucket. Coat bucket with film completely. Let it sink in. It will keep dirt from sticking to your blade's and bucket's, it works.

Snap over binders, ratchet binders and speed binders ... what next? "Space Binders" ... sounds like a 60's cartoon. Last time I had a chance to use a binder there was a choice of ratchet or snap over, I garbed the snap over binder because I had never used a ratchet style and didn't want to take the time to learn in the heat of the moment. Yup it has been awhile. Thanks for showing how that magic worked ... LOL Video as usual grand slam.... Oh oh oh TouchDown!!!!!! sUperBowL.

I appreciate the 2 year update on the speed binders. I was waiting to see if they lasted before I invested in some. Being rebuildable is definitely a plus. I'm usually cautious when new stuff comes out and wait to see if it lasts. I'm still not sure this whole internet thing will work out. 😁 Stay safe brother.

Great video as always Mike. This comment is sort of pertinent. I went to the lumber yard with my nephew this morning to get some,,, lumber. It was time to tie it down, so I said Chris, do you have rope or ratchet straps? He had one rachet strap that had frozen mud in the ratchet. I told him again for the 57th time, maintain your sh&^ so it will work when you need it. You should also carry more than on strap when you get lumber. He takes after his grandfather when it comes to equipment maintenance.

[@gullreefclub]

@Captain Kleeman The reason why a good drill works better than a impact gun on the chain binders is because a good drill pulls (turns) at a consistent pressure where as an impact is as it name implies uses repeated impact to loosen/tighten a fastener. That is why an impact can loosen a stuck/seized fastener and not break it compared to if you put a long “breaker bar” on the same stuck/seized fastener and pull on it you will break it. FYI if you are assembling something that is carbon steel on carbon steel you are far better off using a good quality“Waterproof Grease” than Anti-Seize. Anti-Seize is best used on Aluminum, Stainless Steel and where dissimilar metals come in contact with each other such as Aluminum and Steel. Most Anti-Seize compounds are Not Waterproof nor do they have good lubricious properties. Anti-Seize is meant to prevent galling and to inhibit galvanic corrosion it was not ever intended to be a carbon steel thread lubricant or rust inhibitor. That said some Anti-Seize compound now have some lubricant in them because of the chronic misuse of the product because nobody read the material data sheets and instead thought if this goop turns me and everything else silver that comes near it as well as costing a lot more than a petroleum based or synthetic waterproof grease that it must be better but in reality it’s not. The easy self test of how well or not anti-seize stays around on threads in the weather is to disassemble something you put it on after 6 months or so in the weather compared to something you assembled using a waterproof grease. The reason I keep emphasizing waterproof grease is because many greases that are plant based are not waterproof and even some petroleum based ones because of how they are refined are not waterproof. Just a FYI when I was still driving I used to break apart pallets and cut the boards down from them to use as on hard edges to prevent damage and keep my chains from coming loose. Lastly one thing you or DP might consider is instead of a cordless drill to tighten the speed binders I’d use the an good quality air drill (No Harbor Fright) and install a 20 gallon (or more)aux air tank on the truck or trailer that way as long as the truck has air your drill has power and you never have battery problems again. Have to say I remember when those concrete blocks were 10 bucks, admittedly they were not poured in as nice as form nor did they have the locking ridge, I think the concrete company I used to get them from went up to 20 a piece but if you paid cash and bought 5 you got the 6th one free

Something also worth mentioning on speed binders, or Atleast in my opinion Because it’s the reason I bought them - due to mechanical advantage of a worm drive setup, it’s very very difficult for them to loosen up from vibration going down the road. For what it’s worth.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Very good point, I've never had one loosen up on me from the binder itself. It's always from things like today, the concrete chipping or something like that.

[@stevehelline1680]

Great point Jason. I have also found that placement of the handle against the floor of the trailer allows the handle to act as a reaction bar, storing all the energy and keeping the binder from loosening. Properly tensioned, it should take about 15 -20lbs of pressure to lift the handle off the floor.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Always liked the speed binders. After first seeing them on DP’s or your channel I later saw a video of someone walking thru trade show. One of the interesting products was a radio transponder chip that could be built into hand tools and provide tracking and statistics of the tool to the user on their cellular phone 📱. I thought then and still do that if a person could develop a load cell into a chain link connected to an app via a chip as these guys were selling you would have a gold mine. I thought it would be a natural enhancement to be added to the speed binders since they are already an improvement. With the things I thinking of, you could have an app that monitors your load securement dynamically, provide a documentation trail for transit that everything was secured while transported and an alert if a load needs attention. Tried suggesting it to the speed binder people however got no response. 😂. Thanks for reading my nonsense, always enjoy your videos. Wishing you and your family the best.

Speed binders should recess the grease fittings so the fittings would last longer. Which would mean the binder would stay greased better. That first binder you were working on was very dry and dirty inside. I assume because of the broken grease fitting.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n… it works! You said that diesel was $3.99 / gallon. In fact it was $3.999. Or for all practical purposes $4! Why you ask is all US retail fuel pricing listed with the 9/10’s of a cent? Well, us old farts know. First, The practice of tacking 9/10 of a cent on the end of a gas price goes back to when gas cost only pennies per gallon and was a tax imposed by state and federal governments. Gas stations added the fraction of a cent on the end of the price instead of rounding up the price. Since then, the taxes have increased exponentially. Why didn’t the state or feds just go ahead and roll up that extra 1/10th of a cent? Two reasons… early on, local retail sales taxes were less than 1%. Rounding up wasn’t allowed. So, if I bought a pack of baseball cards ($0.10) and a can of Pepsi ($0.25) the taxes were less than a penny. The retailer would eat the tax burden right? Wrong! Each county would print its own partial cent currency… called ‘mills”. One mill was $0.001. I always had mills in my pocket when I pedaled my bike to the local mom & pop general store! (In 1965, our county ended the practice of recognizing mills as currency. My dad took his coffee can of mills to the county courthouse and cashed them in for US currency… during the buy back period.) But, you still can’t round up tax charges! The second reason… retailers, gas pump manufacturers, sign makers had already adopted the 9/10 into their way of life. And, strangely so did consumers. (Prime example: diesel at $3.999 is for all practical purposes $4. But, you can actually say you are paying under four bucks a gallon.). It has become a way of life… that no one wants to change. Retailers want the price to appear lower than it is… as for politicians & consumers… they don’t want the price rolled up… even if it’s one tenth of one red cent! Obscure fact: old cash registers had a slot in their tray for mills. That layout is still used in most full sized retail registers. Cap’n… here’s some advice… save your mills… they may still be valid currency in your county. And, go ahead, get your Realtor license… I have a feeling the Ponderosa is gonna sell and you’ll want to collect your fair share!

@@sonnyblazer5504 LOL… it helped growing up as poor farmers in a small town… we used it o pick up pop bottles on our way to the store. With double-bubble gum at a penny a piece… the 2 cents each on the refund was a veritable gold mine! Simpler times… happy days!

I was up at rock suppliers a couple of days ago and there was a concrete truck dumping nearly 2 of these blocks worth of tailings to be reground. Got to wonder if there is a market for them here or is the market just too small and scattered? edit: I should note here, we do have stackable retaining blocks available here but they are a production pour, not salvaged tailings, so are much more expensive. Also, I'm not familiar with regulations at your end of the world, but we would require more reinforcing steel in the blocks, depending on application. Good use of otherwise waste material though. We used to be able to book and buy tailings fairly easily here for private driveways, paths etc but it is getting harder as dumbar*e regulations are trying to stop different grades of concrete being mixed, even for low Mpa usage.

I like the idea of booking waste for smaller projects. That's pretty cool

You mentioned that levee at 19:56. I've never lived in an area where they are used. Is there anything interesting you can reveal about them? I assume they've been around for a quite a long time. Are they ever breached?

[@CaptainKleeman]

The last time the river reached that levee was in 1997.

Good morning metal stays hot for awhile after you weld on it . Just a tip . lol

We have been buying some concrete waste blocks here because of the price increase coming. I figure I may as well make that extra 20 bucks myself. Plus the markup we charge for each one also. Gotta keep a float or our companies will sink right? But now being as it's Farmer Chris we are working for here we gotta pass savings to him too as much work as we do for him each year. You all know what I mean when I say " Farmer Chris" ....
