"Shipping damage", didn't know you named your letter opener.

I bought one of these in Vietnam last year. Unfortunately I don’t have a Bosch nano saw so the screwdriver remains unopened.

AvE: "I'm all about the base 10 system" also AvE: Uses units of 127/5 mm instead of base 10.

Re: foreskin eyelids - think of the foresight!

i love how you bought the mini chain saw as a joke and have fallen in love with it

Who else thought that the first time that switch got launched into a low earth orbit was the last time you would ever see it? Kudos for retrieving it from the great beyond - several times.

6 in German is pronounced “sechs”, near indistinguishable from “sex”. Suitable choice for stiff things to shove into weird places.

I'm fairly certain my father inherited a tub of generic grease from his dad that I will in turn inherit when the time comes...I doubt anyone alive today has bought one of those tubs new.

if you looked like me AvE you'd want to wear a mask too.

As a German, I absolutely appreciate how you curse in german language. It's truly beautiful, and causes some good laughter as well.

The article linked in the description is self-published by former physics professor Denis Rancourt, under the auspices of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association. He was dismissed by his previous employer, the University of Ottawa, for numerous subversions of the university's academic integrity. These included unilaterally changing the content of one of his courses, advertising another course he taught as being free despite it being a fee-taking course per university regulations, and giving every student an A+ in another of his courses regardless of their actual competence. Physicists have a time-honoured tradition of speaking authoritatively on topics they have zero expertise in. Having a PhD does not make one immune to the Dunning-Kruger effect, and I'm afraid this is exactly what is happening here.

3:00 Bumblefack cuts through the case with a saw then claims "shipping damage" on the tool. LOL

Let me try to explain the 1 to 6: Why bother? (Also known as "paid by the hour") - 1 Dead slow - 2 Slow - 3 Half - 4 Full - 5 All she'll suffer - 6

AvE, masks aren't to stop the wearer from potentially inhaling 'viral particles', although they can certainly do that. The efficacy of masks in containing the spread of a virus has nothing to do with the size of the viral particle itself, and everything to do with the size of a droplet containing respiratory mucosal secretions (and viral particles). The viral particle itself has no chance of withstanding the extremes of the outside elements with its tiny protein coat. It easily succumbs to the effects of osmosis, at the very least, to dry out and become ineffective in attaching/penetrating cell membranes and replicating. Thus, anyone who dismisses masks based on their efficacy in mitigating the movement of a single viral particle can be safely dismissed. The efficacy of a mask lies in its ability to decrease (not eliminate) the transfer of previously mentioned respiratory droplets from an infected patient to surfaces that non-infected people may come in contact with. With that said, the mortality rate of COVID-19 is very very low in non-vulnerable people (below 65 years of age, not immunocompromised, no pneumonia, etc.). The way we've handled this, IMO, is atrocious. We could've done a much better job, and saved more lives, by not causing mass panic and simply allowing non-vulnerable people to continue regular lives while affording extra protection and isolation for vulnerable people. In the process, we could've rationed healthcare resources and distributed them in a more efficient manner. In order for that to work, we would need good social distancing in public, the normalization of masks in public, more testing, the closure of the international border, and educating people about the danger of coming in contact, under any circumstances, with a vulnerable person. Had all of that been done, we could've eliminated the need for mass lockdown, in lieu of regional lockdowns when necessary. Look at China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, etc. None of them had a nationwide lockdown. Instead, we've used Italy, Spain, and other such countries as role models. Then again, here in Canada, Justin Trudeau appointed someone with very little knowledge of public health to be the health minister (Sajdu) through a cabinet reshuffle, and our leading physician on COVID-19, Dr. Tam, was against border closures for months, she deliberately lied to the public (instead of actually controlling the supply chain) about the efficacy of masks, going as far as saying that they're not useful, in an effort to ration them for the healthcare industry. IMO, what Dr. Tam did amounts to criminal negligence, and she should be in jail right now. I can't imagine the number of cases in Canada caused by her. Imagine all the people who were infected and used public transit without wearing masks, spreading the virus on every surface they touched...

7 is too fast. I can't believe you didn't know that.

Glad to see you haven't washed your hands since cleaning out that chicken coop. Nothin fortifies the immune system like a little salmonella.

German in Germany here. No one knows why they dont go to 11.

Wearing a mask is destroying the facial recognition industry. We should all wear masks, glasses and use vpns

Karen is the lady at a store being asked to wear a mask who then demands to see the manager while some poor kid behind the counter just wants to end his day.

As a farmer I just wanted to say that you're entirely right about us just moving shit around from one place to another, and back again. The best tool we ever acquired on our farm might just be a mediocre old forklift because let's face it, material handling is what we actually do. The plants are doing all the tricky work of turning sunlight into something for a rainy day, we're just chasing our tails trying to keep up with them. I just wanted you to know you were right about something since 2020 has been such a crap year to date :-)

Caught an error. 1:53 he says "wall receptacle" instead of "walrus testicle." All that Spring soreness I guess.

Can cofirm, wrapped my laptop in saran wrap to protect me from catching the covid on the internet. Works like a charm. Haven't gotten sick yet.

11:42 Such a coincidence: he's a grown-ass man and a grown ass-man.

2:29 ‘बॉश पावर टूल खरीदने के लिए धन्यवाद’ translates to ‘Thank you for buying a Bosch Power tool’ in Hindi. Why would it be in Hindi in Canaderp? Or is AvE secretly filming these in a sweaty workshop in Mumbai?

"get a whiff of that!" Yeah, I have a can of grease that looks like that. I keep it in a grocery bag, wrapped in two more grocery bags, and sealed with a trash bag. Opening that can sends people out of the room gagging lol. Great grease though.

I ALSO used my Bosch screwgun to assemble MY hentai robot as well.

Thanks for the shoutout!! "That's funny, there's a delay while the brain-box decides whether or not to chooch." I love it when my favorite KZfaqrs support my mental health issues.

IKEA’s $13 screwdriver has an all metal gearbox, just sayin

From the promotional material in the images on Amazon... "Diminutive Figure Full of Strong Power", "A Simple Push, A Perfect Screwing!" I'm not sure what they're trying to sell here.

So I went to look this up on Amazon and one of the pictures says "A Simple Push, A Perfect Screwing!"

You may be interested in the DeWalt DCF682N1 I do a lot of work with screws in plastic and rackmount screws and the gyroscope control makes it easy to avoid crossthreading and when the screw bottoms out, the small shock to the device makes it stop turning. I've been impressed with the control I have with it. It certainly doesn't have the power of an 18V tool, but for what it's made for, it's well done.

I bought some Bosch screw bits years ago, and they were actually the best bits I ever used.

Shoutout to Uncle Bumbleforks from z Indian subcontinent!

“Shipping damage” even though he opened the package with a mini chainsaw! 😂😂 that’s why I love AvE

You always inform and entertain me at the same time, that's why I continue to watch your videos. You are extremely knowledgeable and have a great sense of humor, thank you for sharing your experience and expertise with us!

I am from Coimbatore. The place u tried to read off of the service directory.

“Roboticized hantai dolls...” *My Freshman year roommate has entered The Chat*

I’ve watched every single one of your videos. But today more than ever, do I surely appreciate your technical, yet funny videos. I’ve learned a thing or three from every one but it sure takes my mind off the craziness. Plus I get to drink a beer or two whilst watching

5:57 You didn't warn me about putting my safety squints on!! OSHA is gonna hear about this one...

could the shipping damage have something to do with that exact part of the thing being right under the toolpath of your jumped up boxcutter when you opened er up?

The Dremel unit looks exactly the same this one, but its about half the price. And when I say exactly the same, I mean they are the same unit

I bought that screwdriver under the Dremel brand name to drive in inch and a half hex screws on cable clips at work. I used that screwdriver 5 days a week every week and it is by far my most favorite tool as it pretty much negated the need to be running back and forth grabbing the impact driver, and when youre working out of a tool belt you want the smallest lightest tools possible to get the job done quick. and save your back. i loved how i could hold the screw with my index finger, hold the driver with the rest of my hand and still have my other hand to hold the cable tight against whatever surface was driving into and it never let me down. it did break after about 2 years of use, one of the bearings popped out of place and jammed the clutch but i took it apart as you did, put the bearing back in place, regreased it, and put it back to full time use like it was brand new.

Missed these BOLTR videos! Thanks man keep them coming!

Theres the mini chainsaw, thought he broke 'er Yep it must be time for another BOLTR This time a Bosch wrench with that unique plastic stench Hence the lilac to make it more kosher.

8:05--thats a shunt resistor to mesure the current to calculate the torque the potentiometer regulates the torque not the speed. the switch with french name reverse the motor . all the current pass thru the switch. i had one of these first thing that fails is the tactile switch then the motor shorted,,... battery great when new after 1 month dies quickly.

About time you did a BOLTR again - been missing these

Been subbed awhile but I've never really watched a video... Now that I have I'm glad I did! Love your humor, love your candor, keep up the great work!

hey man, what happened to that sweet japanhese toaster?

I actually got an aunt Debra but everyone calls her Bob

"Sorting a fly shit from pepper with boxing gloves on" One of the better ones I've heard

Oh man you make my day!!! Seriously, your my one stop shop for useful information and comedic relief

I needed this reminder to remain humble. To get back to being scookum as frig and to focus.

5:57 EDIT OF THE MONTH

Your Random Rants are super hilarious, I thoroughly enjoy your specific choice of words. Keep up the Great Work!

"Sorry bout the rant" the rants are why i come here

jesus ave, if that citation is an argument from authority then two things to consider: rancourt is not an epidemiologist, and he is a crackpot with a long history of controversial opinions. rather than some guy who was fired from his university, im gonna go with the CDC recommendations.

Don't Panic - that's the most helpful or intelligible thing anyone has said to me all day. Actually amazed how much torque that doodad has.

"Tappy tap..." was my favorite part.

Punch line; “oh well, at least he’ll have great forsight!!” 🤣

Yeah, but he had amazing foresight

1 to 6 is because "it goes to eleven" but in a subtle German way...

This is like the Black and Decker Versa I purchased in 1991, batteries no longer available. Worked like a charm with a clutch that worked perfectly on small screws as I worked on printers and fax machines all day everyday. No circuit board inside, just a motor, slide switch and similar but bigger gear box, battery is removable from outside. I would love to find a battery for it. I just cleaned all the grease that has hardened, re-greased it and tested it with an external power supply, still works after been in storage for 19 years.

I have 3 of these from Dremel. One in electrical pack, one on bench and one in general tool pack. I mate these with the meewalky shockwave 18 piece impact set and one extra long philips impact bit. Beautiful to use on door hardware as there is no skip out to mar interior exposed screws. ( just as it hits tight, loosen your grip a little on tool and when it hits bottom the drive spins briefly in your hand and seats screw perfectly. )

Got one (bought in Peru !), the wheel dosn't control the speed, it's for setting the torque. I know it goes against the grain, but sometimes the FM needs reading :-)

Thank you needed this, have an amazing day. engage safety squints 🤣

Your videos are the best! Great content man! Your my officially my favorite Canadian! God speed my good buddy!

I took apart the classic stick shaped version of the black and decker nicad based screwdriver when it broke. the gears were metal back then, don't know about now. It certainly lasted longer than I expected considering I used it to fix a deck, and decking screws are no joke.

You gotta love when it lists a reputable shop with a @yahoo email address

Could somebody please tell me what "BOLTR" stands for/means, etc ? I've been wondering for some time.

I have a Hitachi cordless power screwdriver that I used to put together a gazebo with over 1000 M10 hex-head cap screws, and I was very, very glad of it. Much lighter than a drill, and the clutch was very precise. I also strongly recommend Wera Hex-Plus bits when driving head-head cap screws - once I switched to those bits I had no trouble at all.

Gave me anxiety the instruction manual wasn't thrown out of shot 🤣

​@AvE The masks are not there to protect yourself, they are there to protect others. The masks filter some, but not all of the water particles so they are not effective as a safety device for yourself. the main problem not being the material it is made of, but the fact that they do not seal against your face. As you can see, the masks look the same as the ones worn in an operating room. The mask a surgeon wears is not to protect himself, but to protect the patient. It contains saliva droplets in his breath so they don't land in the open wound. The masks they urge you to wear have the same function. The best prevention from being contaminated is keeping a distance. You need to keep distance, so any water droplets from someones breath have time to fall on the ground. The mask you wear reduces the amount of water droplets that go into the air, and any water droplets that get out will have a lower velocity and will travel less far before falling on the ground. And that is why masks DO work. During the incubation period, or when you are asymptomatic, and you don't know you have the virus, the masks saves the people around you.

When you cite a researchgate paper as if it could be trusted.

Use one of these little dealies on the daily, absolutely brilliant for working on cabinetry and such especially with the torque control.

I like the touch of “Hitchhiker‘a Guide” there at the end. Brilliant.

The only time I've ever been so excited by a screwdriver, is when I got my Weras. Edit: It's probably 1-6 so you have turn it up to almost 11, but not eleven, because it would be 12? Maths.

I just realized having the captions turned on introduces a whole new layer of puns and double entendre.

I did buy this one, NFG for repair work, since the “torque limiter” doesn’t limit torque as they don’t short the motor when it trips.... good for minimal use on wood work, forget about screws in plastic, it’ll strip it right out.

I got a good one for you lot. So a cop pulls over a car, and walks up to the window to discover two priests. He looks at the two of them and say "I'll cut to the chase, to keep from time you up too long. We're looking for two child molesters." The priest recoil a bit and look at each other, then the driver looks back at the cop and says "Alright we'll do it."

@AvE is probably the only person in the world who could post this stuff and not get insta-cancelled into obscurity. The last forum for evidence based discussion in the world is a tool review channel.

2:46 That's கோயம்புத்தூர் you bumblefack nice review love your vids.

The Cock-eyed joke had me rolling!!🤣🤣🤣

I love this little screw driver, have had one for over a year. FYI the 1-6 is a torque setting.

You should test the Wiha version of that tool, a 500 euro electric screwdriver :)

Farmers: Everyone has a plan until they are knee deep in schmoo.

Love the lilacs. I have a HUGE lilac bush in my back yard. There are lilac trees in the area that are well over 200 years old. Brought over by the French way back in the day.

"a portend of things to come." You got that right.

Try the dewalt one with the gyro. I love that tool :)

Thank you for the nod to Towel Day at the end, I thought I was the only one celebrating. 🇬🇹

I pissed myself laughing when the switch cover fucked off across the bench.

Bosch’s glory days will forever be in the 40’s when they manufactured headlights for german tanks.

Hey so since my President won't wear a mask and you're dogging on your PM for wearing one, you uh, wanna trade?

I’m a new subscriber and I really enjoy your videos man. I consider myself a jack of all trades and only a master of air conditioning and refrigeration lol. Im really getting interested in electronics and manufacturing processes and your wealth of knowledge across many subjects is amazing. . Your like the fn cool uncle that has all the bad ass toys and know how I never had lol. Thanks for all the really interesting content.
