Thanks Nick. Cheap Chinese bits are frustrating. You sure are thorough. Great video.

Now this was a very informative and useful video. Nice work, Nick.

I really like your reviews, Nick. You're pretty much my go to lately since recently taking up the knife collecting hobby.

Quite the expert disassemble kit there, I'm truly impressed.

Thanks Nick for explaining the tools you use for knives.

Bought the Wiha bit set based on your recommendation. Well worth the money. Cheap Chinese bits will not last they shear off very easily.

Awesome update to this topic, and thanks for providing a shopping list.

I'm a locksmith and I own a mat made for lock cylinders and pins but works for guns, knives etc. Having a rubber mat is a great Idea especially when using solvents and oil/ grease.

Thank you for the updated tool list!

Thanks for the video NIck I picked up a set of the wiha drivers on your recommendation from a previous video and they are awesome. I had a screw that had started to strip on a pm2 with another driver and thee wiha took the screw right out.

Great video Nick. A nice un-powered tool use when the Dremel is too likely to cause more harm than good, is a popsicle stick with a thin strip of 1000 grit on one side and 400 on the other. It's around 2 bucks a sheet for automotive wet/dry silicon carbide paper you want. It's a bit flexible and cheap as dirt to refinish small scratches and burred edges of parts fast. Follow on your strop for surprisingly great results. A little water based white craft glue is all you need to ahere the sandpaper. Cut the strip to popsicle width, and lightly smear the glue on the stick. Center up the sand paper down the stick . ( or all the way around, gluing all 4 sides - why not? ) Place the thing flat on a flat surface and put something like a book centered on top to stop the paper from curling. Go nuts and make another one with 1500/2000 and one with 220/320. Wow what a rant. Have a good one Nick!

Thanks for a great video this will really help in future disassemblies

I have been very curious of this topic as well Thx for sharing

Very informative... definitely getting the Jewelers Loupe... thanks Nick!

Another great video Nick thank you.

Pure gold. Thank you!

Nick you are the man!!

Link this video in every description... Save yourself the hassle.

It's funny I just watched the old Nick Shabazz cleaning kit video yesterday. Now I have the old and new set up to work off of.

The ifixit kit is really nice the bits seem to hold up too.

Thanks Nick! Good video,

I have bought the torque set and the nano oil per your recommendation and it's been amazing. Also bought the frog lube paste for all of my non coated blades because I live in Florida and it's always humid and I don't want them to rust. Thanks!

Thanks for the soldering iron tip. Recently I used a cigarette lighter and got no where.

...good info; thanks...have a good day...

I like to use slip 2000 gun lube. It's non toxic and biodegradable, non petroleum, no Teflon, no silicon and comes in different viscosity. I like the gunlube/clp but EWL and EWL 30 are the thicker versions. It's a good cleaner lube and protection that I'm considering food safe in small enough quantity (as for knives used on food)

I have a sneaking suspicion that there might be another, secret set of tools used to maintain Nick's maintenance tools.

Hey nick great vid check out the micro lens for iPhone on amazon it has a light and it’s 60X zoom and once you zoom in it’s 100X great for checking edge and it’s only 7$

Thanks for showing this stuff! Always love seeing it, and always appreciate the helpful info you provide!! I need to use a soldering iron on my Para 3... i have a couple screws i can't get off because of that stupid loctite that they used.. arghhh

I just got the Xiaomi Wiha Tools kit! It’s great!!!! Please review Nick? I’d like your take on it.

Excellent Content!! Thanks ,Will check out the links!! :-) :-)

what tools do you use to maintain the tools you use to maintain your tools

Great video nick. O have all that stuff and everything is great products.

Is the Frog lube and Nano oil food safe for prepping Foods and eating?

Wow man!

Don't forget - if you want to check if you have any paper cuts on your fingers, 91% rubbing alcohol will tell you very quickly!

where can i buy alexander peshkoff's driver?

From Blade HQ I got a torx driver from Boker that worked with Wiha and I can tell you that Wiha bits will strip but under a lot of stress, so always heat up the screws that wont move easily! The whole driver is small and compact but it is super comfortable and above all it is magnetic so I can hold the driver upside down and not worry about losing the screws! Wiha bit definitely are the best! Here’s the link on Blade HQ if anyone is interested in getting one! www.bladehq.com/item--Boker-Knives-Toolkit-Torx--8073

what do you use to maintain these tools? knives?

I like nano oil for pivots and frog lube for the blade since it’s a “food grade” non toxic protectant. It smells nice also. Lol

Nick, what is that black handled stubby bit driver in 7:15 and where did you purchase from?

7:00 oh damn you do have that wiha set that i commented about in another video of yours. you know if you take the bit extension and stick it in the back of the case the whole thing turns into a high torque driver?

What tools do you use for your disassembly videos??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video Nick, I just bought the wiha but set. Just wondering what flashlight was that in your kit?

G96 “Triple Action” Gun Treatment and a Harbor Freight 34 Pc Multi-Bit Precision Screwdriver Set do it for me.

Hey Nick! Just a heads up, Daiwa is pronounced die-uh-wah :)

RazzMaTazz Nick Shabazz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nick that mat isnt in your amazon store anymore. could you update the link to it?

Is the nano oil pen refillable?

I'd love to see a breakdown of the budget for the Nick Shabazz channel. I'm sure it's something like: Nano-Oil: 65%; Z-Hunters for Patreon donors: 30%; knives for review: 5%...

Ordered some of the items here, but everyone should know that the soldering mat in Nick's Amazon store is not the one shown in the video. It does not have that edge all the way around it. I'm going to return it and try to find one that does have the edge all the way around. Actually, if you just do a search on Amazon for "soldering mat" you will find several that has that edge.

Nano oil is the best!

You forgot to mention Red Locktite , for use in extreme situations , like disassembling Kershaws lol .

What is the exact knife he shows at the 13:30 mark?

As always, a great video Nick. I’ve adopted most of what you recommend and especially love the iFixIt products. I sent you a Instagram message about a tool I came across in case you’re interested.

I don't think i've ever seen you use that mat in your disassembly videos, you usually just do them on that dimpled one.

Pronounced die awa Fishing reel lube

Time to upgrade your back drop mat to carbon fiber ZBrands on Amazon for 20 bucks 👍

Love Nick, but screw Amazon.

damn 20 bucks more 2 years later...think ill buy a smaller set and better driver at this point

i dont believe rubbing alcohol is the same as that stuff. i have a bottle of rubbing alcohol and it smells like nail polish remover and leaves a HORRIBLE taste on your finger, and other place to probably if you were to lick them. theres a not so fun fact that is incredibly useless.

Mat too dirty. Dirt will scratch knives. Come on, Nick, buddy.
