Safety is important.

I think over time 10mm sockets decay into 9mm and 12mm.

@@whatelseison8970 I use 12mm often enough

In my experience a lot of japanese machines use a 12mm head for an 8mm bolt, which always seems a bit strange to me. Everytime I measure an 8mm with my optical calipers and grab the 13mm socket it turns out to be a 12mm head

He ain't fucking kidding on that one! I wonder where the hell that place is? That and the 13mm wrench. Fucking christ.

Air 2/tire. Nitrogen 10/tire. 80% nitrogen blend, 12/tire.

Until a couple of years ago I ran a 1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. The brakes and suspension rely on spheres preloaded with 1,000psi of pure nitrogen. I've always refilled mine with the same nitrogen blend from the SCUBA tank I used to refill my PCP air rifles. Never had a problem with them.

@Blargenfladibblenohip ! But, you still paid more

Um 8/12 is not 80% Jesus 😂

Oh, that had me laughing for a good 3 minutes. Thanks! Actually I'm still laughing!!!

feel you, had a pretty long acetylene hose ripping on me once (a freshly cut beam fell on it) and i was like 20m far away from the bottle down some dirty nasty shithole xD luckily there was someone near the bottle to turn it off quickly

I always appreciate that you tell us the German technical terms. I'm Dutch though so I can already understand everyday German. Germans really do have the best words. Leutspurmunition...

I think it was in spring this year a acetylene cylinder caught on fire in a construction area in a town about 50km from here. They had to evacuate and get a sniper take a shot to puncture it to release pressure and make it burn out faster.

Having semi-controllably detonated an 8oz can of like 60% acetylene I can't even imagine what an entire welder's tank blowing up would sound like. When I blew it up I was convinced that I had lost my entire right hand and went blind & deft for several seconds(minutes?). Of course it was just shock, I was ok. I wanna shoot one now.

@Viscous Shear yeah I'm not sure why anybody would want to shoot a hole in a cylinder...acetylene cylinders have multiple fusible plugs in them that melt out near the boiling point of water (vs a burst disc that ruptures at pressure), which is their entire point. If the cylinder catches on fire or even gets too hot, the fusible plugs melt and release all of the acetylene to atmosphere.

More dangerous than plasticine animals that could A-tack at any time?!

@@arduinoversusevil2025 I think its even more dangerous :D last time when we filmed with it we exploded maybe half a liter soap bubble full of it and a emergency exit sign dropt from the wall just from the sound pressure :D

why its always safer to store it in floating garbage bags. No metal to fly through the air in case of explosion,

I used to know a guy who used balloons filled with acetylene to scare the ducks away from his koi pond.

Shop I used to work in, these two rocket magicians had been filling up sandwich baggies by adjusting for a neutral flame, snuffing the flame, and filling the baggies after which they ignited them. Well since that didn't cost them enough fingers and eyebrows they went ahead and filled up one of the smaller trash bags from the bathroom, which turned out to be a bridge too far, since it broke the windows out of the office.

Oxygen tank valves are double seated. you need to open the valve all the way and close it all the way. Acetylene is just cracked open as the gas can explode at more than 15 psi.

@@JimmysTractor Fer sure, he's a fart smella.

@@millwrightrick1 only on high pressure cylinders, he's talking about the torch handle itself. Also I checked a bunch of cylinders using soapy water to see if this an issue and I couldn't find one that leaked past the valve when fully seated. I think the gas companies do a much better job of servicing bottles these days, vs the old days when people owned their cylinders and had them refilled instead of just exchanging their rentals when the truck comes around .

As an apprentice i actually love these opportunities to learn.

I was smart and returned with lunch and energy drinks😜

@@i-love-comountains3850 you'll go a long way with that mindset, onya mate 👍

Ahh ...... 'prentice stories! As an apprentice Ion a fairly large building site I had to get there early, get the boiler on for brews at 8. Take the butty order, get the butties in for morning break. Get the dinner orders in and get the pie and chips in for about 10 sparks. Afternoons were for doing a bit of work! Well one of the parks thought he could get one over on me and at morning brew waffled on and on about the cream cakes sold at the shop next to the chippy ........ and come dinner time slipped in his request for me to nip next door and get him one "Cream Clit" Yeah I must have looked really dumb but as an apprentice I could hold a lie like a good'un! Dinner time came and the pie and chips were dished out to the smirks and the spark in question asked about his cream clit .... Face straight as a die I asked him if there was something odd about it as when I asked the lady in the shop she had said they were not ready yet and could I call back in 1/2 an hour? Well he stuck to his line and I said I was off to get it for him (nobody said anything) so off I pop ......... The next day they were all asking why I didn't come back. So face straight as a die I told them not that I had actually gone home never having even gone into the shop the first time but spun them the tale of me being taken upstairs and subjected to an afternoon of debauchery! My standing went instantly from dumb 'prentice to Superstud in one day!

Yep. 3-fingered Joe has you covered.

I'd like to add a diffrent opinion of an aprentice, I do not appreciate the go and crawl into the back of a garbage truck and shovel it out moments in the feild, or go and lay in a snow bank and hammer the drums till they move

My alcoholic brother spent a good 5 minutes showing me how to run a torch. I also had a pamphlet from the welding supply shop and a book from Forney so old it talked about using asbestos to hold in heat when pre-heating. I managed to cut up what I needed to without winding up in a burn ward.

@@alberteinstein3078 You have to think about it relativy, is that your theory?

Not always, I tried looking it up a while ago, and the normal use seems to be that they are denoting "special". So it might be left-hand, weird pitch, tapered thread, or whatever, at least when it comes to fasteners. Gas lines are usually a bit more standardised, but it depends on the application. But yes, on oxy-acetylene, the left-hand connections usually have the notches at the unions. :)

By the time I went to trades school they had figured out that the little black wispy bits you get when burning acetylene without added oxygen are a fairly carcinogenic and that you always want to crack the preheat oxy a bit when starting a torch.

Haha yeah she’ll roll coal then...

POP!!! and you've got soot everywhere.

Welding man's laserpointer ^^

That's a retorical question right. RIGHT?

Steve! It's always good to see one of my favorite channels show up in the comments of another. :) in response to your comment it's also like dropping a nitroglycerin pill in the gas tank like Burt Munro did in "The world's fastest indian".

Nitrogen in tires comes from road/oval racing. Pure dry nitrogen has a known expansion/contraction rate for a given temperature. So a driver can adjust the handling by adding or subtracting some from the tires. Works well for that. For a street car the sales pitch is that it can help keep the rims and TPMS sensors alive a bit longer by limiting the moisture in the tire to limit corrosion. The problem with that is most TPMS batteries die long before corrosion can mess with the pressure sensor and 99% of corrosion on the rim comes in from the bead.

@@Blazer02LS while using nitrogen in tires did come from racing,it was more for logistics than the thermal expansion benefits. The difference in thermal expansion of dry nitrogen and dry air are very similar. To the point the difference would be unmeasurable with the instrumentation a race team has at the track. So the teams options are to be tote a compressor, dryer and a power source to each and every track, or a handful of nitrogen bottles.

My local mechanic says he offers a nitrogen 'blend' if customer ask about getting there tires filled with nitrogen :)

I was taught the same, so you can close the valve on the fuel with the twist of a wrist as you run by.

ionhavoc2 same way I was taught. If it hits the fan quick clean up

Same here I've always just given it a half turn and then wide open on the oxy

Was taught the 1/4-1/2 turn as well in the90's. Last winter finally had to apply it when the hose burst into flames due to a mig wire trim somehow sticking out of the red hose.

Those torches were most likely oxygen and natural gas. Not to be rude, just fyi.

@@jsee2385 They most certainly are oxygen and natural gas. They also have 2 oxygen inlets and are a blast to use by hand........... because that most definite never happens.

I've seen hand held 6 ft long oxygen Lance's hooked to dewer flasks of liquid o2 cutting 5ft thick castings. Lance pipe is consumed about 1ft/30min.
