Thank you AvE for that Mexican welder vijeo. That clip will be the highlight of my day.

KZfaq algorithm must hate you, watched engineering and tool videos for 10 years and it only suggests yours last week, I've got some binge watching to do

Welding helmet with built in safety squintz 😂😂👌🏼👌🏼

I can’t believe AVE posted a clip of El chaparro schwarzenegger! He’s a Mexican comedian and kind of an icon, great stuff !

Once I learned that I could weld with a car battery, by welding a wrench between 2 terminals, a world of possibilities open up to me.

The poastal service finally got the tool to ya after 30 years.

My dad had one of those wrenches. Turned him against battery tools for years.

I’m convinced that your super power is being able to put stuff back together after it sitting apart for months.

That's amazing. Haven't seen one of those in years. I remember my dad having one when I was growing up. Invariably, the battery was always self discharged when you went to use it. Of course, if it was charged, the damn thing wouldn't fit into wherever the fastener was anyway.

The backup to the healing mat is the healing floor. A ball bearing hitting the clean floor would have bounced all the way to the wheel house of the MV Ever Given. In you case the bearing hit the equivalent of a movie theater floor and stuck.

New camera looks great! But I am seeing a low-level shaking or vibration almost the whole video. Software stabilization might clear that up, but so too would a lens with integrated hardware stabilization. Food for thought!

We’d love some water cooler talk on the cargo ship plugging up the god damn!

Watching from St.Mary's hospital in Saginaw, MI. Had quadruple bypass surgery yesterday and in cardiac recovery unit. Turning 44 April 4th! Too much good living, fellas! LOVE THE CHANNEL, BROTHER!!!!

I’m almost positive that cameo welder is my moms neighbor...I’d have to hear an open header engine roaring after dark to be sure.

I had one of those. The battery didn't hold a charge for long and the motor didn't have a lot of power. But they were built well compared to some of today's plastic tools. Would be fun to see it built up with a modern brushless motor and a LiPo battery. Hopefully the drivetrain could survive the power. Glad you found the ball bearing for the sprague clutch.

A brand new boltr video and on the day I count another trip around the sun. Thank you sir.

I had to look that little video up. Now everyone I know and work with is watching it. Needed that today thanks 😊

A battery, a switch and a motor...that is all you need. It's all SHE needs too :)

I had one of those and I was able to use it for years. Whenever I had a small job to do I would yank that off of the charger. Whenever I had heavier work to do I would use my air tools. Finally about 10-12 years ago it gave up the ghost. It would no longer hold a charge and with all the new technology it really didn't make sense to take it apart and try to retrofit new batteries. I really want to thank you for bringing back a memory. It was just a week ago that I was talking about this.

My grandpa was so excited the day he bought that tool when it came out and i saw him use it twice in my life and it now sits in my own unused random box with most of the other sentimental hand-me-downs now i dont have to rip it apart to see whats inside thank you

AvE: "Die-cast" Me: "It's a lost art."

Your call out video clip reminds me of every time I go the get hardwood to build furniture. Guys in the back playing conjunto music hard and hustling to get me my order. Makes you want to go get some barbacoa and cervesa.

I like that you packed the raceway with mild abrasive to polish it over time. Very smart

my dad came home with one of those over 35 years ago. i still liked using it even when it had no charge.

Damnit, make this thing chooch so I can call it a piece of crap in-line with my confirmation bias!

Get well soon, mouse!

Thanks AvE. Ya brought back some memories with this tool. Rebuilt an old F100 inline six engine with it. It got me thru the entire build til she stopped chuchin. Alas, I did give her a proper viking funeral.

I absolutely love seeing how wireless power tools used to be. You’re knowledge of the battery and electronicals is awesome to listen to. Great video looking at the antiquated past

The rail road talk got me to remembering like how is that anvil holding up in the urethane rubber

Would be nice to see with a new battery and possibly a new motor

I bought one of those cork stuffers for my grandpa ways back in 1990 sometin. The F’in thing sat on a shelf until I through it away when he went to the big shop in the sky. Good old memories!

Hi Ave. You should charge a large capacitor from rectified line voltage (120 VAC rectified will be about 170 VDC), then remove the line and use the charged capacitor at 170V to chooch some angry pixies into the battery. When the pixies are agitated at 170 V, they're not just mildly annoyed, they're quite angry when you let them into a 3.6 V system. They burn copper buildups inside the battery and might skoomify it back to (mostly) original state.

When my husband introduced me to AvE I was like WTF is he saying? Now many videos later I'm fluent and can't stop laughing my A off at these videos. Anyone else want AVE as a neighbor just to be able to shoot the sh1t with?

I woke up on the ground a couple of times from the seizures caused by the shaking video! Other than that it's a great video! All joking aside, I appreciate the video.

Sears/Craftsman stuff was always hit or miss in the quality department but the great thing was every manual had a parts breakdown on the last page with actual part numbers! You could call up Sears and but replacement parts. What a concept!

I had that cordless wrench back in the late 80's. It was given to me as a B-day present when I was 16 and working on my first car. Contrary to what a lot of people say the thing worked awesome for a couple years until like batteries gave up the ghost.

I think this was the same camera they used for the Bourne Supremacy fights.

“Nobody yelling at him”. I read a horrible tweet which ruined my day - to paraphrase; “do you think the dog thinks we stopped talking to him?”

Its humbling to see that beautiful makita laid out like a crucifix, but the shitachi's ready the go!

I love retrofitting and using old tools like this.

Might need to keep the coffee away from the new camera, seems to have the jitters.

Whats 6 years between friends? Depends on weather you loaned or borrowed!

I cannot tell you how refreshing and entertaining your videos are. Thank you.

“Healing bench where things come to die apparently” 🤣🤣👌🏻. Speaking for the maintenance engineer masses right there. I have a special little bench also for such things.

I'm gonna miss the "Focus, you fuck!" 😁

The battery mines of Birmingham are nearly as famous as the Jam Butty mines in Halifax! The whole of the north of England is powered by jam butties & beef dripping!

Bonjour , goedendag , gutentag piet . I love how you show the ins and outs and expose the " crapule deluxe "

Should be the way they make tools today! Sweet and simple!

Anyone else notice the odd micro stuttering the video does when he zooms in for details? I don't know about that new camera but the video is now giving me a headache... bring back the old Sony camera please.

love your vids, patiently awaiting the suez canal situation video fockery.

I had that exact same ratchet years ago under the Skil label. Loved the thing. Worked great for years until it finally crapped out. I was actually sad about it. Best thing was that it was metal. Super durable, not like the plastic/metal crap that we are stuck with today!

Classic. But just because it appears to be made better doesn't mean it can't fail just as fast. I offer this up because I had a Craftsman Cordless Screwdriver of this era and in under a year of just taking appart B&W tube TVs in the parent's basement the thing failed. Sears did give me another one but later I found Skil to be a better model at half the cost because it had a replaceable battery system. Good to see you back at it again!

That bench is looking particularly clean 🤔

Lol’d real hard at “38 years old, never chooched a girl” and then had to explain to my wife way more backstory than I anticipated. #ripgord

I have that ratchet. It was my grandfathers. Still charges and works like a charm after some maintenance

Can't wait to see that ratcheta Chooch. Mine gave up the smoke years ago. It was a handy little dingler.

6 minutes in an right glove still intact. Who even are you anymore UBF?!

"Haas is up and running again." Clearly you aren't referring to their Formula One team, where the Russian Flag paint scheme couldn't prevent their rich-boy Russian driver from crashing on the third corner.

I have the exact same ratchet, in my get to it pile. 10 years later this video might help me get it back together with new lithium in it

I have one of these. Rebranded though. Was used by my dad for a short while and he put it up on a shelf and forgot about it. Surprisingly it still works..... for about 5 minutes. Been debating on getting a new battery for it.

1:11 el chaparro chuacheneger en el canal del canadiense jajajaja

Did AVE just use a box cutter to open a box? Is he okay?

I have one and thought about sending it up. Thanks for telling me more about it!

I'll add to the "My dad had one of those..." club... My dad had one of those way back when...I never actually saw him ever use it. It just stood quietly sentinel in its charging dock on the wall in the tool closet day in and out. I remember trying to use it on some lawnmower repair project once and it made it like half a turn and died, probably because the batteries were cooked from perpetually sitting on the charger for years. Cool idea, and probably was expensive in the store, but there's no getting around the RadioShack technology that was common in most battery powered stuff back then. These modern day cordless tools would have been Godlike back then.

Mas Cerveza Por Favor! PS - The Deluxe Welders Helmet* comes with Sunglasses! *Cerveza Not Included!

Mesmorizing CNCing with ethereal music coming up soon?

Damn thats a nice camera. Thank the gods for the gloves, they spared us your follicles!

I had one of those craftsman ratchets. Ever since I had that one, I have been getting another one to replace the old one, as they were wearing out.

I'm unfamiliar with that box opening technique. Next time please provide more detail explaining the caveman approach there.

Was this what the settlers used on the Oregon trail to repair the wagons?

my brother in law gave me one of these recently...cheers.....love your Vedayooos

Glad to see that japanese made Makita has been put to great use

That new camera seemed to listen right away!

Wait, THAT'S the camera everything was filmed on this whole time???

Many moons ago I purchased one of those very same Craftsman ratchet gizmos for Christmas for dear Pa Pa.

thank you for showing us the "how to" and "what for" buddy. Love your stuff.

I'd be curious of your thoughts on the suez situation lolol

Can you remember when Craftsman had a lifetime warranty?? John

I loved that thing. Wife bought it for me for Christmas one year and I thought “(Oh no) Well, thank you dear.” But it came in handy many times.

Can’t wait to see what comes of the railroad rail.

The only love from AvE is for a six day old post... Yeah-nah, we’ll just continue to enjoy the freeviews on KZfaq, eh boys?

Well if you can do an 18650 or similar single cell, then surely you can slap the guts of a single cell charger into the original charge box.

PLEASE dont kill it! That thing needs to go to a museum!

I still have mine. It's the skill brand. Used it in the early 90s wrenching on aircraft. Great for tight spots. Called it sammy the christmas snake due to its sound whilst operating. If you hold the side button in just a little it runs quiet.

I can’t believe it only took 10 seconds to find that bearing..my shop 3 weeks later found that sumbitch.😂

Holy crap I’m still laughing about the famed battery mills of the midlands

I got those units for $19 new. did a great job and cut snowmobile rebuilds from 8 hrs to 4 hrs. Used them until I could afford air ratchets. and I still have them, though sitting in 'need batteries box'.

I remember having one of these. Made for a good club.

why do I feel like after watching your videos for so long that I always wonder if your voice and appearance actually match up in my brain.

I've had a saying for way too many years...someone put it together, I can take it apart, but I never said anything about putting it back together again afterwards.

Summer caught us by surprise last year, came on a Tuesday. Totally randomly hilarious

I have an old Craftsman battery screw driver. Replaced the two NiCD AAs with an old 18650, taped it up. Battery hasn't died yet in two years. Then I realized I never use the thing. But it still works!

Glad to see my $5 put to good use. No but seriously, keep making videos and I'll keep throwing my five in the pot

That new visual standard all youtubers seek to achieve... something vision 😂

I have one of those. It's been sitting in a junk box for decades. A few years ago I gutted the motor and battery and fitted it to my drill press to ratchet the table up and down. Yes, they were nicads.

AvE, 38 years ago sounds about right. I bought one BUT, mine said SKIL. Bought from a big hardware store chain. Once I wore it out I found it had been discontinued & no one built anything like it UNTIL, Milwaukee introduced their cordless ratchet. I've not been with one since. !

Ave, where can we find the professional Mexican welder??? 🤔

Mexican welding is now being taught to "the children" of our local community.

I had one of those 30 years ago. Worked just fine. No torque compared to today’s cordless ratchets but you could break the nut loose by hand. I think I used it until the battery wouldn’t charge anymore.

that battery mill line had me in tears lmao.
