Somewhere sometime a engineer caught a mechanic doing his wife and we have been paying for it ever since

I miss these tips and tricks videos. The grease, punch, paper towel, and a blind bearing trick still reigns supreme after all these years. I'm glad you started to do the starts on the simple stuff

As a Filipino/American I will graciously accept the honor of new Filipino buddy if ever needed. With a Filipino buddy the job will get done and plenty left over adobo and lumpia to take home. Don't porget to take opp your choos!

this guy makes me so happy because he makes hardly no sense

This man's terminology alone made me sub

"Where do you find an 80lb Philippino buddy?" As a merchant mariner I laughed too hard at this. There is nothing like trying to tie a chemical barge off to a tanker ship and having to yell up at the Philippino ship hands how you want to lay the leads. 😂😂

This is the first time on KZfaq that I’ve ever seen somebody use a grinder with the guard still on

I do believe I’ve learned to speak Canadian exclusively through this channel.

I spent 7 years in the NAVY on submarines you should see some of the ways we got things out. I wish I was still in to bad I got hurt and now in a wheelchair but I have lots of time to watch your great videos. Thanks!!1

I've been an auto mechanic for decades. I can't count the number of times I've used my air hammer on a wrench. Works great.

You don't need a new air hammer (aka peening gun). You need to oil that one and rotate the black piece behind the spring portion clockwise while holding the silver piece still. Eventually it'll bottom out and you're good to go again. The vibration rattles them apart. When it's loose the air seeps by the threads and there's not enough driving force (air) behind the chiseling bit.

Here's a totally off topic tip that saved my bacon not too long ago. I needed to drill some holes in heat treated wear steel backhoe teeth. The holes needed to be precise, blasting them in with a torch wouldn't do. I was all set to run through boxes and boxes of drill bits but even those weren't looking like they'd do the job when I decided to see how far a hand full of dull old carbide tipped masonry drill bits would do. They did great! They didn't drill as fast or last near as long as a regular good quality bit would drill in mild steel but they did pretty good. Used a mag drill at 250 rpm with lots of oil and high downward pressure, safety glasses and ear plugs (it sounded like a dinosaur was being tortured to death) and what looked like an almost all day job got done in an hour with only the cost of some old masonry bits I had bought at a garage sale for no discernible reason. Definitely a win for me that day!

AVE, I've always wanted to see the internals and hear how air chisels work. If yours has bit the dust and you ever get time or think they'd be enough interest I would enjoy seeing you disassemble it and give us the overview. Thanks John

Thanks for the great tip on removing seized nuts and bolts. That's one of the smartest methods I've seen!

Fantastic as usual ! I watch anything you post, just to hear you tell the story, keep up the great work !

This guy is awesome, I am always glued to these videos.

But you said, you couldn't get a wrench on??? How do I get the bolt in my vise??? LOL

I found your channel a few months ago looking for how to fix my loose hammer handle. Now I'm flippin hooked.

Good tip. A wobble extension attached to a short socket might let you use your ratchet in that small space. The air hammer trick will also loosen up stuck front suspension parts on most vehicles in about 3 seconds, if applied to the right place.

i have no idea what just happened...

This also works when you have to drive anchor bolts in confined space or to ease your load when pounding them overhead. Though I usually don't have an air hammer, so I use a rotary hammer without the rotary function. Works like a charm.

Absolutely hats off to you sir. Your sense of humour chimes in so great with a man of the Britania persuasion. My jaws are aching.at your constant irreverent quipary lol

That was awesome good sir! That's a great trick. Not your first Rodeo I see 😉. The jokes and humor were the best part 😂

Time to bust out the the air chisel and the grinder, thanks mate

How are you going to get an air gun in there if you can't get a spanner there?

Your narration makes me happy

I always learn something from your videos. Thanks

Just great!!! Now I have to buy one of those! Thank you so much for the added expense! :)

Offset box end wrench woudln't get that? OBE wrenches are almost required for some older vehicles.

Love the commentary. Sounds like we could be family. Never seen that trick but as a heavy equipment mechanic it will definitely be used. Thanks

Top tip and demo mate. Thanks. All the best from Australia

The two ways I loosen really tight bolts is to hit the end of the wrench with a hammer. If the bolt or nut head is shot then a good sharp chisel in and then at an angle with a good whack with the hammer will pop them loose. Your method looks nice and easy if you've got air and the pneumatic chisel hammer with you.

I love manly man skills. MORE PLEASE! Thanks, Uncle Bumblefuck.

This guy just cracks me up, LOVE AVE.

Most excellent! You rarely disappoint. Thanks again.....

This same principle works well on hydraulic hose fittings minus the wrench part when you have the flat rate time bomb ticking and the last guy to tighten the hose evidently had something to prove. Hit the flats with a drift punch bit. Careful with this tip though, much like chloroform a little goes a long way.

Friggin Canook, Lefty loosie! Great Idea! Great Videos!

Great idea! Finally found a guy that sounds like I do when iron wrestling! LOL! Ya got a new sub there mate!!

Dude! That's a great trick! I might have to try that some day in my travels. Filed for future reference.

Loving the old school hip hop! Second time i've noticed it in two days haha

FOCUS

dayum, ur taste in music is amazing!!! classic n everything

Always love the channel, but this trick is top notch lol. I just hope I remember it when time comes.

I just fucking love everything you do a life time of experience and just dying to enpart it on us thank you

Trick number one, use a 6 pt wrench.

Always a good time, thanks for the laughs bud!

Seriously love your work. Not only do I get a experienced engineer's view of manufacturing, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science and cost engineering but I get to laugh hysterically when you scream at the camera "focus you fuck!" So genuine and true to life. Thanks for the education and making my day that much happier. :)

Don't use a 12 pt socket or wrench on a stuck bolt. You'll just round it off quickly. Use a 6 pt.

As a professional fleet mechanic, I thank you very much. I have used pickle forks that way.

that's brilliant would it work on steel bolts fused into alluminum casting like engine mounts etc

Expat Canadian says - this is all kinds of awesome. I could listen to this all day - maybe I will.

Does this guy remind anyone of foghorn leghorn? "I say I say I keep pitchin'em and you keep missin'em!" You got a hole in your mitt!"

Great tip. I just hope I can remember it one day when I really need to remember it.

Loved it, an idea to apply at the right time. Thanks.

Thanks for the tip sir. Looks like you have been working on ships.

What's the music?

You dont need a new air hammer, theres like 2 parts inside of them, just unscrew the black bit, and reseat the thingy doodle in the fun hole, and its good

really enjoyed this here, thanks for the advice

Gold love the vid and the humour! handy trick never thought of that

What ever happened to the big mill that you had in a video a while back?

This is the first time I've seen a 91/6 wrench!

Brilliant idea AvE thank you!

I am sad I never thought of this. Thanks bro!

I have an 80 lb Vietnamese buddy. Will he work?

Very nice.....you figured out how to untighten a bolt from a vise! Why not show it working on an actual pain in the scenario!!

Could you modify an electric impact wrench to do the same job, and if so, how? As I could see a use for a little hammer to smash on a spanner with no clearance.

Thanks, work on European automobiles at a shop will be using this trick when I pickup an air ratchet this weekend

What is the connection between the bolt shown at 0:10, and the bolt in the vice at 0:15? I don’t get the connection.

I grew a beard from watching this

Great video. What do prefer on the impact the pin detent or the hog ring and why?

I like your style!

Nasty spots?! You had your seized bolt in a vise!! Lots of clearance for what I seen...baaah!

Just put the wrench through a long pole so you can get more torque

I use the technique to get the "screw onto the water pump" fan clutches off newer vehicles. I use a large crescent wrench and the v-groove chisel right on the end. Sure, it looks beat up, but it's worked every single time.

I learned some new words today. Thank you for this idea

EVERY VIDEO: "Now,as you can see...Focus, you fuck!" I think it's come to be my favorite part. Please AvE, never change.

still not gonna work in a tight place

Good job mate keep up the good work!

That is an incredibly nasty trick! I love it! :)

If I had a nickel for every single thing I ever hoopajooped...

Time after time I've watched Americans interview Brits and they can't understand a word us Brits say. Which can be amusing, but this is the first time I've listened to a yank and not understood a single sentence. lol. I got the general idea from just watching what he's doing its all good. Quite a good tip actually. 👌👍

Awesome tip. Thank you. Keep posting.

Video is 4 years old, I needed this last night getting out a water pump. It’s in my feed the next day. Typical

Nice! I love how old school mechanics think and especially love how crass they are! This ole timer has been getting myself in trouble because the new generation mechanics all need safe spaces and get all offended just from my normal everyday communication. I just put in my earbuds now and keep to myself..... I’ll tell you though, the shop feels dead with everyone being all politically correct..... walking on eggshells. It sucks.

Could always heat and bend your wrench

Is this fella from another Planet cause half the time I'm struggling to understand him but (there's always a but) he is better to watch & listen to than some of the crap that's on the Tube.

Been there, dine that! A good trick for the book! I always start with PB blaster, then a torch and a WD40 quench when possible. This one is a fool proof, effective last ditch effort when you are willing to bugger up a wrench.

"" DIRTY TRICK FOR SEIZED BOLTS IN NASTY SPOTS "" A nasty spot is now defined in a vice in the workshop ? Why didnt you show us undoing the first bolt you showed us where you couldnt access it with a spanner ? Would you have been able to get the air gun in there too ?

what the hell is he talking about??

Forty years in the shop, That's a new one. I will use that idea . Thank You! One step further might be to make little short wrench's with a strike receiver .

I subscribed... because the commentary kept my ass laughing the whole time! Thumbs up!

what's that song? anybody?

I worked with my uncle one summer He’s a welder machinist Came back after summer And talked like him My mom had a heart attack Needless to say Mom didn’t mage me go work with my uncle again

I have four cross member bolts i am going to use that on right falking now! Another great vidjao.

That was slick. Thanks for the tip!

Isn't this is what a crowfoot wrench is for?

This guy is hillarious😂😂

How about using a standard or deep offset box-end wrench in this case? Both are in my toolbox for situations exactly like this one...and they get used in most other situations, too. ATB, Gereon

This man is a real one for sure I admire him already ! Can’t work with him if your sensitive
