@@jaydunbar7538 It's the inferior version of the Nintendo Switch optimized for portability because too many people, in spite of the fact the Nintendo Switch is a bulky convertible hybrid games console, complained it was a bulky console. Due to its lack of a docking connector, there is no reason to use a dock and it is always running at "portable mode" clocks which means games for it suffer more being on a platform providing less port for the processor to crunch math and spit graphics. Personally, I'd avoid it. Get a Gen1 switch and see if you can't use the RCM exploit to use some custom firmware. Then you can _really_ have some fun with it.

Channel Lock changed their name from Champion due to the success of their 'channel-lock slip joint pliers. Vice Grip is the original locking pliers.

Just bought the rocketsocket 13pc set for only one project. 2000 4runner lower ball joint. I live in Michigan where rust is terrible. I had replaced one side a few weeks ago when it popped out in my driveway. I ended up having to drill out two of the four bolts and it was to say the least not fun. I was able to move my 4runner out of the middle of the driveway and order the ball joint for the other side. At the same time I also ordered the rocketsocket set. Two days later I did the job. Having this set saved me about an hour or so of laying on my back, trying to drill up. Thanks for the video. Best 65 bucks I've spent in a wile. Thanks again.

@@TheMattc999 I tried that RainX orange stuff several years ago. I didn't personally care for it. It left orange stains in my white paint and while the RainX properties did work, over time I ended up with a thick film around the area where the wipers wiped. I ended up having to use a buffer and glass polish to get it off. That's when I went back to the regular ol' blue stuff. Honestly, I was disappointed because I've used the traditional RainX products for years and never had issues with them.

I bought a set of craftsman reverse spiral fluted bolt removers years ago and never looked back. I used them initially on an oil pan bolt that gave me a ton of trouble. It came out like butter with the tool. Then I made the boneheaded mistake of driving off with the key to a set of locking lugnuts still in the lug nut which was perfectly round hardened steel polished to a mirror. The tool took it right off. I love the reverse spiral fluted design and will buy again if something happens to the set i have. Definitely a tool that you don't need often but when you do they are invaluable.
