In my experience, the more things a tool is "designed" to do.. the worse it is at all of them. They should have just stopped at the lineman pliers and they would have been Okay -ish.

Honestly it did a lot better than I expected, especially with the lock. But that’s probably cause the cheap lock was cheaper than the cheap tool.

I absolutely love that he has to twist the wire ends no matter what.

My favourite part about thin shackle locks is that some can be easily bent and broken with bare hands

110% to this guy for following through on this. He could have just left it at the funny piss-take clip reviewing the demo tape but no, he puts his ass on the line and does the most fully honest test you'll see a youtuber do.

"I've worked with my hands my entire life plus I've been married 15 years so you know how that works 👍" - had me dead 😂

I really enjoyed the surprise of success with the first lock. After the failure on the hex key I never in my wildest dreams imagined success with the first lock. The sound of the vice groups being locked on to the pieces was really quite pleasing. I went back and watched the entire video with my eyes closed and just enjoyed the sounds. There's a hidden layer of compassion if you watch and listen with a different mindset. His concern for his feline friend which is never pictured on screen is quite heart warming. Having the rust at the hinge pointed out during the middle of the video shows his attention to detail and ever watchful eye. The debris and bits of metal that built up as the video went on was quite pleasing to watch. It was like looking back behind you in a boat and seeing the waves push away from the bow. You can see where you've been and those pieces of metal served as a visual reminder of our successes and failures. Truly a journey and great analogy for the experience of living as a human.

It’s so cool that you put so much time and heart into testing if crap is crap. Love it!

I sincerely hope tool companies see this and start to send you cool free tools to "test"

I used to be a helicopter mechanic in the army. I remember when they swapped out our toolboxes to the large black pelican case ones they have now. Our regular tools were mostly snap on and they continued this trend in the new boxes.... Except for the diagonal cutters. Everything on the aircraft is stitched together with wire and cotter pins to keep hardware from loosening due to vibration, so your diagonal cutters are among the most used tools you have. I used the new ones once and the blades started chipping. Three uses in and I had some tiny hacksaw blades. These goofy Chinese cutters on here are apparently better than what we had in our tool boxes. Thank you, Army procurement.

A huge, no wait, A Huge THANK YOU for the side splitting, gut busting laugh out loud relief your highly informative videos give me; nearly spit-a-stitch in my morning hernia surgery when your tool reviews appeared ! Please don't stop this much needed relief !!

Electrician here. Those Milwaukee 6 in 1 wire strippers are legit. They’re one of the few Milwaukee hand tools that are actually really good. I have a pair, but I only use them for trim-out. For everything else, especially when doing roughs, yeah, I use Klein. And, yeah, as someone else pointed out, generally, the more things a tool is designed to do, the worse it is at all of them. Especially when it comes to lineman pliers, I’ve noticed. Anytime I’ve gotten a pair that also strips or crimps wire, (or worse, when they’re made with teeth for turning nuts, instead of splicing wire) they suck at those all those extra things, and then they also suck at being lineman pliers, for having been robbed of their simplicity.

I’d wear gloves. I pinched the hell out of my finger one time doing something like that. Choking up on the grip is the dangerous part. They close real fast when you finally cut through. I loved the demo though

10 out 10 grip strength joke. This man clearly knows his way around a vice.

As an electrical I had fun watching you try to strip the wires. Lol. Love your videos

I don’t work with tools and have no idea what 99% of the tools should do but I freaking love you!! You are an honest good guy and funny. Thanks for making me laugh.

Yellow Romex is 12g wire. However the size of strippers for solid 12g and stranded 12g are different. 12g solid is the same as 14g stranded.

You are basically the only “short” maker that I watch any shorts of this isn’t completely stupid. Keep up the great content funkman

Lets be honest no actual mechanics or electritians etc use these, the ads are for city people that work in offices that wishes they had garage

dude I just want to say i just found your channel yesterday. your shortz had me cracking up. you're delivery is hilarious. thanks a lot for the good laughs my man.

I still can't believe they advertised them as cutting rebar. My big bolt cutters will do it no sweat, but no pair of pliers is going to, ever. 🤣🤣

From flying drones to reviewing tools taken from comedy bits. Man, it feels like I'm watching the steady growth of a future big KZfaqr staple. Love your videos man, keep it up.

12:04 got a massive *WOW* when that happened. Considering what you have done is genuine the manufacturer should be sending you a box of these tools for free to express their appreciation for how good you made their tool look without the standard trickery bull💩.

Great tests you did! Thanks for showing the closeups on their pre cut wrenches! When I saw these commercials i just clicked them off thinking - Yeah Right! But you showed how they were able to fake cut all that stuff!

"You gotta cut the keys...for good luck" Love the sarcasm lmao Seems the pliers were more breaking the big lock rather than cutting, so the smaller having less leverage makes sense not breaking.

You are legitimately the only shorts creator worth watching Honestly you should do more bullshit tool tests, could get some views

i freaking cant get enough of your heavenly sarcasm💪💪 your shorts are amazing, and i had to find this one. keep it goin man. you make every evening entertaining

Those Milwaukee pliers are almost as good as the Klein tools set. I have both pairs and use the Klein when I'm doing some bit of maintenance that requires 14/2 or 12/2 because the Klein have a cutout sized just for cutting through the outer sheath of the Romex without going through. You can do the same thing with the Milwaukee but it will just as happily cut right through it. I actually have the Milwaukee pair on my tech bench. They make a wonderful multi purpose tool to go between the 3D printer, electronics and guitar work.

Electrician here.. That yellow #12 wire is commonly called Romex ( it's actually a brand name) But its technically called "non metallic sheathed cable" I know you didn't ask but I told ya anyway.

Man you have to be so careful with that style. I once accidentally got my finger in the wire stripper area right when I managed to cut through a bolt. I got lucky that it wasn't a huge bolt, but it still took off my fingernail.

Been a big fan of yours for a while. You have great videos. I really appreciate your content. Plus I love so much how you use length of marriage as a testament to your grip strength. So great. Keep up the good work.

Every time I need a good laugh I look to one of your videos! Always gives me a good one.

the lock thing was impressive, even though they looked like dollar tree ones

I have been emotionally invested in this saga and i thank you for taking the time to tear up innocent tools for our entertainment. Keep it up.

Dude I'm not to comment very often, but man at 1am your calm voice, and the chill vibe you get from this is just perfect, you deserve the sub and like l, well done 👏

Finally! The magic pliers I’ve heard you talk about so much but haven’t seen yet!!!!!

My favorite cutters are the 10" Knipex high leverage diagonal, and Klein Journeyman 2000 Lineman pliers.

I'm honestly impressed by how well they did do, I've never tried cutting anything beyond copper with linemans like this but I wouldn't have guessed they'd do well with anything even remotely hardened!

Omg funk! All I was thinking about is how much pressure ŵere you putting on your hands! 😱😱 thank you for the hard work to show what is what 🙏💪

I love your short videos. Your dry sense of humour is just my cup of tea! Hahahahaha!

I don't know why I was so excited for this, they basically did exactly how I expected. Still appreciate the follow through and the content in general. Would love to see some more long form stuff.

when talking about grip strength: "I've been married 15 years... so you know how that works" LMAO also, safety squints

Great video (new subscriber here)... When I worked full time at motorcycle shops (decades ago) the SnapOn guys loved me (most of the time) and two of the best pliers I bought were the duck bills and line pliers. The duck bills would grab broken bolts so well that (after applying some heat) they would remove almost any 6mm bolt that was still long enough to grab (until the jaws wore to where they wouldn't grab anymore) and that's when the tool man wasn't happy, having to replace them without actually being broken. And I learned to use the line pliers (from a hose supplier's wife) for cleanly cutting steel braided hose (up to -6 size) by holding them on concreate floor and smacking the jaw with a hammer. I was shocked how long they lasted (almost a year of cutting MANY hoses) before the blades got damaged to where it took more than one hit (and turning the hose a bit)...

I subscribed when I started laughing because your labored breathing adds true realism to the video. Keep 'em coming.

I laughed my butt off when you said "holy shit it worked" on the lock 🤣

45 years of being an electrician, personally speaking, I prefer the 9” Kline linemans. Short of cutting into an energized circuit, keep a little oil on the pivot and they will last for years. On another note, love the callouts, keep them coming brother!👍

Please keep bringing these pliers back as much as possible. 😂 it help my business in Shenzhen. 🤣

Great video! Love your take on the internet idiots and scammers. They are probably rusting because of the salt air during shipping. They used to pack everything with cosmoline and they still do certain things. I’ve gotten some car parts paces with it and you have to clean it all off before installation.

Brand was misspelled it was supposed to read FUCT, as in; "id be FUCT to used these shitty things"😂

Its going to by hysterical when they steal the footage of you cutting the thicker stuff with ease and use that footage in their scam advertisements... 😂😂😂

Love the dedication in this video. Buying tools to just prove the scammers wrong. That's awesome. :)

These plyers work exactly as intended. As a marketing tool and you people talk about it and give this thing exposition. Even a youtuber showed them for 25 min. I say it's a huge success.

Once you cut it about half-way through it's significantly compromised. Rather than just shearing through the material, you're applying leverage to separate both parts. That's how they make it look so easy.

Would love to see more reviews/takedowns of bad products! I’m not even in a field of work that uses tools but something about this was very interesting regardless!

I must say, i am actually impressed with how much these ACTUALLY did.

Thanks for this video, I'm clenching every time you squeeze the tool. POV style is cool.

Can you see light between the cutting jaws? Check it again after cutting things. Edit: I asked too soon

magnificent. this went almost exactly as I thought it would. the fact that they didn't break completely is surprising.

Your videos are hilarious AND informative! You just saved me from buying these for rescue work!

I’m an electrician and I’ve had a pair of those Milwaukee strippers for 6 years. Not as sharp as they used to be but I can make them work. I really like how they feel in the hand.

I've been. Machinist for 15 years and married for 7. It is ALL about the grip strength! Awesome video brotha.

Well done, sir! I like your science of using them for what they're meant for before trying to recreate the demonstration. I would've been impressed if they were still usable after beating them up, but as we all expected, they're meant for casual home use. No electrician could make them last a week 😅

I am really enjoying how great your dexterity is, definitely lots of experience, and an interesting video for sure 👍

Good old wire stripper with additional bone stripping function as an extra. What a nice way to start your Monday. My fingers hurt just from watching this tool.

Why would anyone believe a pair of side cutters could cut most of that stuff. That being said they did better than I thought.

Grip strength directly proportional to years married. 🤣

I'm glad you had fun making this. I would love to see more

Have watched your shorts for a long time and just subbed! Great channel!!! Lots of fun!! Lol…

Love the mix of comedy and actually testing the tool. Will definitely stick around for more full length vids

I love those cheap dollar store padlocks painted with gold glitter paint to make them look like they have a brass body. :)

Channels literally a god send. Quality channel!!!!!!!!!!

The look on the guys face on the package is priceless! He looks so concerned that you decided to purchase this thing hahaha

I’m actually impressed it cut that braided steel cable. Clean too. You should show your cat destroying something with the appropriate relief cut

I've got a set of pliers that are over 8 years old and have been well-used and abused, and they cut wire better than those do after their abuse.

So they don't f*CK off across my room and impale my cat. Funniest chit I've heard in a long time

I am an electrician and we work out of a Ford Transit Van and even have a similar shelf setup like you have, video was hilarious

After the demo videos I figured they'd be more suited to be called FUCT pliers than FUTC pliers lol

One of my favourite things was terrible padlocks. My grandads old shed lock used to be possible to open just by pulling it hard and the shackle would just pop open. Perfect for when I wanted to use his tools as a kid 😂

Great video man! Your short videos are funny as hell!!

Almost choked on my tea with “no f’in way” with the wrenches

I figured they were mostly BS but they did do better than I ever thought. Good Harry homeowner pliers.

Love that you went through effort to do this. Awesome.

I was thinking of getting these but in the UK they are £51, you have saved me a lot of money thanks

this is hilarious!! Love your shorts and came across this

You could of made this video 1 hour long and I would still watch it mate 💪🏻 very entertaining

give him a like folks, he put in some real hard work on this video

I'm glad you kept the key tradition alive

I love this video. When he said I’m not gonna do it, I said “come on” and he said “aw screw it I’ll do it anyways” I laughed so hard. Amazing video

Really enjoyed this vid! Actually surprised they lasted even that long cutting into steel lol

I have seen videos similar, the simple truth is that the steel bars in those demonstrations can be heat treated to a very brittle temper, that is when they are so brittle that even dropping the thing can shatter it. That is the magic in these videos. Thanks for the demo.

thank you! love your shorts and glad i looked thus up when you said it!

You and AvE are some of the best content on KZfaq

For the amount of pressure you put on them I'm am surprised the handle didn't break. Let me tell you it's a shock when it does. Only happened once but that was enough. 🤣

I have worn out slip joint or channel locks from harbor freight. Not even on anything hard. They upgraded me from Pittsburgh to Doyle brand and they work well but prefer American made products tbh. Thank you for the video.

Awesome video you made it look just like they did it when you prepared all of the pieces love it

I loved the ‘gonna put these in vice grips so when they cut they don’t fuck off across the room and impale the cat’ 😂💀

I bought Doyle wire pliers, they're great. Actually look very similar to those milwaukee pliers.

Not at all surprised. I’ve never believed any video that is flat out deceiving. Rule of thumb, don’t buy cheap tools.

This guy is basically electro boom except he is uncensored and doesn’t kill himself every video

I've been in appliance repair for 18 years. The one thing it tell all my trainees, get yourself some good top shelf tools off the rip. They'll last a lifetime. I've had the same huskey linemen pliers for all that time, still cut great.
