14 Bolt Cutters: Knipex, NWS, Gedore, Klein Tools, Porter, Capri Tools, ARES, Kobalt, Workpro, KC Professional, Great Neck, Tekton, Performance Tool and Jendfert. Bolt cutters tested for efficiency cutting through 16 penny nail, deck screw, drill bit, and hex allen key. The cutting knives on the bolt cutters were evaluated for durability. All of the bolt cutters were tested until failure. My goal is to ALWAYS provide accurate and honest test results by avoiding outside pressure from manufacturers. To do this, I ALWAYS buy all of the products that I test along with the test equipment and supplies used for the testing. So, thank you very much for helping me achieve this goal by your support of the channel.

@@ProjectFarm If you move up to large two-handed bolt cutters, I suggest testing on a padlock shackle since that's one of the most common uses for them. Maybe get Masterlock padlocks and see if you can cut them as fast as the LockPickingLawyer can pick them (about 4 seconds each). 😺😸😺

I've had those Knipex cutters for over 13 years or maybe longer. There was no competition at the time. When cutting, I put the item as far in as it can go, I push down till it makes a dent and then slide the object closer to the pivot point if needed. It usually cuts very easily then.

It isn't scientific though. I'm not saying it isn't cool, but sample size is too small to be relevant scientifically. We have no idea what the deviation is with some of these tools within the exact same tool (same brand and model). Test 100 "identical" Knipex and how close would the results be? Now where in that distribution was this particular Knipex that was tested? We have no idea. How about for the other brands? Are the nails being cut each exactly the same? Of course not, they have variations too, even in the same box of nails. As far as KZfaq goes I love Project Farm, but it isn't science.

@msytdc1577 2 жыл бұрын

All welding helmets protect your eyes from permanent damage, the protection is built in and passive, the darkening functionality serves only to allow you to see what you are doing, so what you would be looking for in a review is more like clarity, viewing angle, comfort, weight, ease of adjustment, battery life, stuff like that, not safety.

@RipRoaringGarage 2 жыл бұрын

I have a few and tested them. I'm no pro at welding, so for me, the reaction time for autodarkening helps A LOT with sticking rods (I do stick welding). The old flip ups are ok if you're observing, helping etc, but I couldnt weld great with that. The Lincoln is ok...but man would I stick all the time. The puddle would also trigger the darkening. The miller though was great and made me improve my welding a lot. I can look in my vid to see the exact model if this helps. Like I said, Im self taught, but do want to make good welds, that look good too, so I learned this over the course of 2 years or so..(Im still a beginner lol, since I dont weld every day)

Would love to see a video on router bits for woodworking. A lot of brands come in cheap, but reviews say they dull while cutting hardwood. Some direct comparisons would be great, maybe eventually testing against countertop materials.

Hello Todd, hoping you and your family had a great Christmas. Nothing like getting your Sunday fix with an awesome Project Farm video. How about a comparison between different brands of forstner bits, I prefer them over the flat bits. Anyway, have a great Sunday (Boxing Day here in Canada) and thanks again for another great vid👍

Indeed. I need a pair of diacs and I'm most likely going to pick up a Klein Tools pair after seeing this. Occasionally you need to cut something a bit harder than copper and aluminum wiring, which is the hardest material most of the diacs on the market can handle. I won't abuse them, but it's good to know they can take abuse. $30 and made in the US with US steel. It's a no brainer.

Folks should take the test to failure with a grain of salt as you would never be able to squeeze these tools with this much force by hand. I would consider the tools that suffered less blade damage to have performed better even if the bodies of the cutters failed. These are hand tools, so the cutting force and blade damage are the most important criteria.

@thra5herxb12s 2 жыл бұрын

Indeed in all probability none of these tools would have cut the tested items using bare hands, but I have often clamped unsuitable sized cutters in my vice and slid a long tube over the other handle. These sized cutters could maybe be used to cut small nails, but are the size most people use to cut barbed wire and such softer metals.

@Bryan Gipe How deep into the jaws you can place a nail depends on jaws design. He even mentioned it in the video that due to the design of Knipex he couldn't slide the nail in as deep so they required a lot of force to cut.
