Some tools have pre-requisites. If you are trying to restore a car to the level that you want a Planishing Hammer, you should have an air compressor. If you don't have one you will NOT be able to use so many tools that would make the job easier. So no I don't include the cost of an air compressor in the price every single air tool I'm going to show you, that is just a silly point to make. A ratchet requires a socket set to work. Does that mean I should include a socket set in the purchase price when I review a ratchet? A cordless drill without drill bits isn't much use, etc etc etc.

@@HotRodHippie I appreciate the time you've spent answering but sometimes just a quick "dumbass" is more appropriate of an answer.😉

Sadly I don't have any upcoming videos here. Sooner or later I'll make more, but I cannot afford to do so for now. However I make almost weekly KZfaq videos still (and have for years now) on my 2 other channels. Mostly focused around 3d Printing and "Making" things with 3D printing (including parts for the 65 GMC). MandicReally (new Main Channel): kzfaq.info Mandic Labs (streaming / technical channel): www.youtube.com/@MandicLabs

Thanks I will check those out for sure, your videos helped me a lot when I started working on sheet metal, I also made some crazy sheet metal on my 63 gmc,

Wait really how

No. Regular Braided Hose is NOT rated to retain freon. It will leech out through the rubber and dissipate into the atmosphere. You'll both have a non-functional AC system after a period of time and be harming the environment in the process. AC Hoses have specific materials in their construction that are there just to contain the freon, along with others to hold against pressure. Also some Braided Hoses are rated for the pressure AC system can hit, but rarely are they rated for such high sustained pressures. Regular braided hose shouldn't be used on AC or High Pressure Applications like Power Steering or Brake systems. Dedicated hoses are required.

@@HotRodHippie so PPFE hose will not hold the pressure also

You have a email I can send you a video you to I’m in a very tight spot so I need a ac hose that’s flexible that won’t bend

I’m sorry pTFE hose ?

Reasonable, I took for granted folks already know body hammers, which is not a given. The VAST majority of body hammers are cast steel that is machine & hand finished, then heat treated. Rockwell hardness scale is a poor test of a body hammer oddly enough though. I've only tested a few hammers as Rockwell testers are expensive and I had to contract someone else to test them for me. In that testing I actually found that Harbor Freight hammers were the "hardest" hammers I had, BUT in actual use they wore the worst and showed signs of damage much faster than others. So unless you are sacrificing multiple sets of hammers to test a larger sample size and/or cutting them up and testing how deep the heat treat goes, it really is only a vanity metric. And at that point you are talking about spending thousands just to test a set of body hammers. It is excellent information to have, but real world use is the only reasonable way to test in my opinion.
