Weekend Project: Lost Screw Finder

[@MichaelD8393]

0:05 "I'VE GOT A SCREW LOOSE ! I know that's not a surprise to *some* of you". One of KipKay's best lines ever.

[@mikimomo97]

Seriously guys. It's not about the practicality of the project. It's about having fun doing it. Yeah there are countless other ways of doing this but come on. It's about having FUN with your projects.

[@900bz]

mikimomo97 if its not practical its not fun

[@mikimomo97]

***** I no longer have this. I posted the comment over a year ago. But I do make some silly stuff now and then. And I have loads of fun doing it.

[@XOIIOXOIIO]

I love figuring out these projects just by looking at the parts and then seeing it's just what I thought.

[@scarlettemeug6888]

This video has saved me hours iff of me life. Thank you kipkay!

[@jollyrgr3]

As others have said: Sock or nylon partly in tube, secured to the outside with a rubber band. Used this idea for 30+ years now. ZERO expense.

[@Yogenh]

Love it. It is always nice to have little thing to make that you can not always find

[@emzirek]

This is the KipKay we all love to watch. The one with the screws loose!! LOL GREAT VIDEO!!5*

[@walperstyle]

Its a nice thing build, however, for screws I have a collapsible magnet pen that I purchased for about $3 at an auto parts store. I also was given another one from my father that is a fixed springy 2 foot long one that fits around corners really well. This thing you built I suppose is a good idea in the event you lose a crew around other metal objects that the magnet would rather stick to. I might consider building this. Cheers!

[@tutoriales3minutos]

I did it, and i grabbed a bunch of rouches. Thanks Kip, gonna roll one now.

[@tzkelley]

It always amazes me when these videos come out and have almost as many 5-star ratings as they have views! There's obviously some ballot box stuffing going on...

[@iggy151]

You know, this is a pretty damn good method to keep chunks of metal from eating up the vacuum. Good idea.

[@ak122version]

I wonder why do ppl dislike useful videos like this video

[@robertdawson3747]

Kipkay is amazing I've watches all of his vids hope he makes more :)

[@MAKE]

Magnets will not pick up non-magnetic screws like plastic, stainless steel...etc.

[@zacdee316]

Once again, Great How to video. KipKay is awesome.

[@MONST3R46]

what a great into and endtro. or whatever u call the ending haha. Great Videos and have a Happy Holiday! : )

[@coondogtheman]

that was awesome, Nice work Kipkay.

[@Prence]

Awesome Idea Kip.. I' going to do this next week.

[@kd5gua]

I built this a while back but I never ended up using screen, I just keep it with clear part down and many items you would wish to recover are too heavy and not enough wind drag to go all the way through. They end up in lid using just the decreased airspeed to drop them.

[@mainjunk]

stop hating he is just showing cool projects

[@silntdoogood]

I defiantly think this should be named something else. I saw it in my sub notifications, first thing I thought was it was an over glorified magnetic on a stick (which is kind of what is promoted towards then end, but for retrieving plastic things this would be very handy!

[@MegaPashag]

You can use magnet in this cd box, it means that it isn't needed to use grid on pipe and all litter will go inside the litter bag but screws will stick on the magnet

[@steadfast1984]

@DiarmuidC15 sometimes your taking stuff apart and you cant get replacement screws. if you loose one its more work to drive to a hardware store and hunt for one with the same thread pattern, and even worse waitting for one to be sent in the mail from the company who originally made what your working on.

[@Sniperification100]

guys, don't think limited. this can be used to find a lost screw everytime you lose one under the cabinet while you don't want to run to the store to get a new screw every time you lose a one do you?

[@CatalystEXE]

It's Kipkay bro, he'll build a three trillion dollar machine with 80 billion computer processors and a fusion reactor core that wipes his ass for him.

[@crankit944]

@bloodhound389 because a dremel can't cut round edges, and you need a rough circle, so what you would have to do is cut out the circle, and then use a file to get the circle shape a little bit better. But this would take a LONG time, and would be faster just to use an Exato knife.

[@Chirimorin]

@101klows sure, but this thing isn't a 1 time use only so next time you won't have to go to the shop. Also, I sometimes have screws from appliances that aren't really standard so I'd have a hard time finding those in the store

[@ObliteAbyss]

@hiddenshadow1221 Looks like this fitting catches larger things (e.g. screws) instead of letting them through to the vacuum bag. Basically removes the hassle of sifting through all the dust you hoovered up, since the filter lets through most of the dust.

[@superchunky3]

Thats a great idea. a vacuum plus you dont have to go through the dust and garbage to find the screws

[@MikeMattera]

@daeheadshot Yeah... Magnets only work on Ferris metals. Basically, it needs to have Iron in it. Brass is an alloy from Copper and Zinc.

[@MrXstacey]

An easier method would be to zap strap a nylon or sock over the top of the vacuum hose it will all stick in the sock until you turn it off. A great tip for when you lose something down the sink like your wedding ring.

[@eRahFeed]

Excellent!!! Your in the will!!!

[@Spaghettikid]

Try gluing a small magnet to the end of a bendy thick wire, it works better and it can fit in tiny gaps..

[@danrichards23]

that guy is brilliant. where does he come up with all these ideas?

[@TheLimbReaper]

Cool use for those CD/DVD cases. I think I'd rather mount it to the vacuum or nearer though.

[@Holyfraek12]

im going to make this for my grandfather who has lost many screws and he loves to help me build things, but im going to build it myself and give it to him for christmas

[@pyro5050]

that is actually a pretty neat design, i would consider making something similar, but not quite the same, :)

[@renowebb1]

KIPKAY YOU ROCK DUDE

[@hansdegroot8549]

I like it. I'll try to make it some day.

[@superspider64]

@RobbysMagic in the description he mentiones that this also gets screws a magnet would miss, like plastic screws

[@TheLilasian21]

You should use the cd/DVD holder for putting in lots of LEDs, and turning it into a giant LED spotlight.

[@moomasterq]

its like watching one of those infomercials except they dont sell it. you make it.

[@crowecanada]

that's awesome!! you could also use a flashlight to help see

[@FFFre4k]

He said that his screw was made from non ferromagnetic material so it would have been impossible to catch the screw with that method. But of course its much easier that way if you are looking for an object that sticks to a magnet.

[@CatalystEXE]

Correcrion: He's not a trillionaire YET. He will be after he builds a nuclear powered money-materialization device out of an old Wii-mote and a paperclip.

[@NafrytiNosferatu]

as you were finishing up there, you looked as though the neighbors were walking by and staring at you while you were talking to the camera lol.

[@armadica10]

Thats really awesome kip Now hows about telling me how to build the vac.

[@MrDelicious808]

Kipkay is a GREAT technition!

[@theflue]

@thetreeregimovies not if its a stainless steel screw, since stainless steel isn't magnetic

[@bestSVMS]

@BrokenHeartboizz what kinda swrew would that be? They dont make/ use aluminum or plastic sqrews. All normal sqrews are magnetic if its truly nonmagnetic bc its this crazy hard to find sqrew, wrap a bunch of tape to a pole, and slide it around

[@ormsie9252]

What do you know, it's a mini shop vac attachment for your shop vac! Still pretty cool though.

[@Twitch7733]

great video!

[@boraboe2]

nice :D you are making really nice things :D

[@dyldyljkj19]

lol never thought of that! gotta try it!!!

[@rifleman1002]

@Emboweler were is the fun in that? Kindof like how NASA bought a Space pen created by a private company that can write under pressure and in a vaccum. They could have used a pencil.

[@BoomBrush]

so, after all this work, what did you have to use the screw for?

[@MrSmurfBurger]

you could detach the hose then put the filter on the open plaCe then replace the hose over the filter and PRESTO

[@lewisvz]

very cool i will have to build one my self!

[@zaplumz]

basically you made a vacuum head thats also stores like a normal vacume, what about using a normal vacuum, or is this one less powerful?

[@5taticip]

lol does kip ever have any yard sales? i bet his yard sale would be the coolest ever

[@_MrBread]

Would it be easier if you just stick a magnet on a long stick or an end of a broom stick instead of using a strong vacuum?

[@SoundsLikeOdie]

You could just place the gauze at the intake side of the vacuum hose. It would have been quicker. But I suppose it would be less fun.

[@TIO1JPG]

well it works kinda the same way that the bug catcher, but nice project kip!

[@CaptainNibblets98]

Vacuum + Pantie Hose = Win

[@m4d3ng]

Put a 90 degree join on the inside so that when a screw goes in it spins around the inside of the container

[@dennussie11]

@appleteacher100 why did he say that you can use a magnet in it so you have more safety the screw will be in there?

[@SpdrMnky]

Hook up a dust-buster style vacuum to it and you'll have a pretty good bug catcher. :)

[@DrThunder88]

@RumblingintheRocks08 Coffee canister? Margerine or sour cream or cottage cheese tub?

[@bigo93]

@bigo93 Of course after adding a better filter compartment in the spindle and using a real foam filter, not a lint snare.

[@rocketman63]

It's a remote, see-through catch can. Clever!!

[@AxelTheGreat482]

@Nabelnoir He did say that the screw was non-magnetic.

[@GaryUehara]

can you make a noiseless vacuum??? that would be great!! thanks for your videos ; )

[@BNSFfan1996]

because to save money the manufacturer could have plated steel screws with brass, its just a common thing.

[@Metal-Spark]

Or you could turn the lights off and look for it using a torch. The concentrated light makes the metal screw shine and it sticks out like a sore thumb

[@johnnysitarphillips]

@thetreeregimovies how about for a plastic screw? :P

[@MWMWMWMWMWMWMWMMWMMWMMWMWMMWMW]

kipkay you can make a video on how to connect the air sucker you made?

[@daveyognaut7288]

you can use the cruved magnits(i don't know how to spell that)from hade drives of old computers on the bottom of the disc holder to grab the nuts and bolts!

[@Ben.e39]

@zac856314 That probably was another screw that was identical or, he made the Lost Screw Finder then made the beginning. I can't explain the whole thing.

[@bland9876]

you could also use it to find that tiny surface mount part you just dropped

[@callumybob]

Womens stocking/tights over the nozzle will work just as well.

[@VEightMerc124]

@NoPancakeMix54 it was a brass screw, but what if it was stainless....then...?

[@MacMashPotato]

He also says the screw is aluminum in the video.

[@patriotbarrow]

Bicycle screws are mostly aluminium; some titanium.

[@adarco99]

@RobbysMagic the only reason he didnt put a magnet on a stick is what if somthing isn't metal or non magnetic, merry christmas

[@goompapa]

one word....genius

[@aftoyboy]

i just use an old speaker magnet with a string tied to it, toss it under tool box and pull it back use a broom stick to slide back and forth no more missing screws

[@DreidMusicalX]

With a space like you have under there, why would you not use a broom or coat hanger? Seems like allot of work to make that little thing. And for the time and money? I would have just bought some extra screws if it was that important to have at that moment? The I have extra screws laying around to use later and not a piece of plastic pvc thingy? lol! I live in a place where space means everything! But maybe you can convert it to a bong?

[@mwstudios11]

@thesickandwounded is there room ON the broom?

[@ojkolsrud1]

Which material did he use for the pipes, again...?

[@Kris35Productions]

@MMOExplorer not just fixed you have a nice view also!

[@horizonflyer9]

I just bought a big neodymium magnet from k&j magnets that has 30lbs of pull. it finds any screw within 4 feet of it!

[@RockBand2Freak78]

If you can get that under there, you can definitely get a broom under there too.

[@briant159]

hint. magnets cost less then pvc piping and a shop vac. though i do acknowledge the fact that some screws are non magnetic

[@Cychro]

People are over thinking this way too much. Stretch a bit of pantyhose over the wand vacuum attachment and rubber band it on. Turn on the vacuum, voila. It'll catch a screw no problem. And it only cost 25 cents.

[@qrthrse1]

I have a lost screw finder already. It is my black book.

[@Darwinpasta]

This is also a good way to catch bugs. lol

[@MrAnthrocite]

i could see this tool as a great tool for the visually impaired.

[@Cattifur]

You could just fit a sock where the vacuum bag is suppost to be. Then you don't have to make that thing at all.. It saves time and some money if you have to buy thos things. =)

[@power-max]

he said also those plastic screws a magnet would miss. in the description

[@Manyangles]

good invention
