Great job on the hatchet 🪓!! Even better that it belonged to your grandfather!! Now you can give it to your grandchildren!!! (After you use it for 30 or 40 years.) Well done sir!!! Thanks for sharing your video with us!! The Old Army Scout…

Very nice

Is this the 12 inch or 10?

My wife can grip a head tight.

Wiha

Awesome build. Why do you prefer the stand to bench mounted?

Mad skills!

These seem like they'd work well for bending and forming steel studs.

Once I got my first pair of cobras I knew knipex was the way to go. Then I tried their 1000v insulated lineup and omg I put all of my kleins and Milwaukee hand tools in my shed and kept the knipex.

Nice job my friend. After giving it a hammer finish it looks great. Considering they now charge $60 to $75 for copper jaws these days your time was well spent.

Really nice , as well as your work .

Dammm

Foreign made bolt

I never hear anyone talk about the 10x mechanical advantage that you get at the jaws . You can really clamp down on what ever you are grabbing.

Wait until you find the toothed version, bolt or round pipe get it on there and it will not slip

Bolt made in China, huh?

Grade 5 bolt 😂

When you think about it, they aren't expensive. They save time, and effort (and your knuckles). Plus, unlike adjustable wrenches or open ended wrenches, they don't round fasteners up, damage compressor shafts, or mess up the finish of chromed fittings.

grade nothing bolt, not impressed

Now was that a grade 5 bolts?

Cheap Chinese steel bolt.

What size is your Knipex pliers?

Are they called channel lock pliers or pump pliers? Is there any difference between the two?

Why get rid of the white grill

What size are those? 10’

Well, the reason they are good is the way it clamps. They act like a lever at the jaws creating a reduction = more force, the only con that I see with them the range of movement with each adjustment so you need to be more exacted to get it to clamp but when they clamp down it's with a lot of force more than what you're outputting with your hand.

Temu version works the same

I have only bought one of these, and some douche bag went in my box and stole them, put a dead man's initials on them and told me that's where he got the ones I saw, only to figure out they were mine. A little more time and I'll get another pair, still raw from the described episode

I always thought it was pronounced ni-pex, man was I wrong. Hahahaha what an idiot I am

Watching you use a metal hammer on a metal tool was literally painful.

I’m soo tempted to just buy these

I have never seen a bolt not spin in a vice like that

If you think knipex is expensive when there priced at professional grade standard for every trade other than the mechanics because the mechanic company snap-on Mac Mac Mactco price gouge the f*** out of their people

Bolt was tampered

I found those are just a crescent wrench with extra steps. I do love the pump pliers, but a really wide jaw adjustable wrench does everything the flat jaw will do.

Manufactured Chinese bolt with no grade marks . The bolt did not even spin against the smooth vise jaws ! Knipex are the very best however this test does not impress .

It doesn't count if you're using Home Depot bolts those f****** things are literally made out of lead

Where in Wisconsin are you from?

Anybody that works on anything should have the 5 inch pair in their pocket. They are unbelievably capable for such a small tool. These and the regular 5 inch Cobra plumber's pliers are practically a toolbox in your pocket.

Your mom has way better grip

I have a Bridgeport from 1957, still in great shape. My dad bought it for me.

Reminds me of making one out of aluminum in college. Several radius sections on it, and all had to be done by hand with a file to match the radius gauges. If you do something in copper again and want it more malleable heat it up with a torch. Copper work hardens.

That's a 1/4" bolt

Nothing like a Farmall

Finally a gentleman who knows how to pronounce “Knipex”

Nice vise and nice stand! You are tough with that hand drill and tap. Find a greenfield no 7 tap wrench!

How do you move it?

Since the ratchet isn’t sealed I would recommend super lube synthetic grease. What I use on all my old snap ons

Just stumbled on your video. So im late to the game. I have the same one and refinished it but its WWII military it not 1/4", its actually 9/32" drive. A 1/4" rebuild kit will fit , but please use Super Lube clear.

puting upper and lower shafts is a pain, i got a 005 tahoe,i check the fitness of the shafts before installment; i ended up sanding, grinding the upper and the inside of the lower, the i tried to remove the upper by removing the boot and was a pain, tahoe figuration is diferent than silverado, finnally i did it, then, after separeting the shafts, i removed the old lower, and on top of that, the new lower was round, my steer box shaft is not round, so, i went back to my old lower, and then, my new upper didn't fit the old lower IT WAS A NIGHTMARE !! AFTER 3 OR 4 HOURS I FINISH THIS NIGHTMARE JOB, NOW I'M WAITING FOR OTHER LOWER SHAFT, (THE RIGHT ONE)
