3m tool don't work on trucks :(
Don't put the compressor outside. The air coming out will be ICE COLD. Instead, take a bed sheet and staple it to a large cardboard box side (like a fridge or dishwasher box) and stick it in the room with the compressor. It's almost as good as a sound absorption blanket, but only costs about $7.
I ended up buying an Astro 65SL that I really didn't have to have. What am I saying yeah I did...lol.

It took a couple years, but I finally got the Nano! - what a great tool, thanks for your review of this tool Eric, and showing it in many many vids posted after this one. I would never have ordered a tool like this without your endorsement of it's quality and power.
-Keep up all the great vids and commentary. I am sure like thousands of other 'People' I am not alone in looking forward to every new posting.
Great, now our other field testers are going to be asking me why they don't get love letters :)
"There can be only one!" /Highlander
(Not Toyota). :-)
I didn't want to put them over the edge and that is why I did not read the PS. at the bottom of the letter....🙊
Matco tools has branded someone’s air tool, dunno who but when the Astro becomes available I’d like to see one in my box at the shop! Can’t wait to use one of those guys
They don't have enough beans! Only Eric has enough to truthfully test a tool!
I've been really looking in to getting an astro impact but I can't decide between the 1/2 or the 3/8. I was kind of leaning towards the 1822 nano max. Either way when I decide on one I'm always gonna wonder what the other one would have been better. So I'm sure eventually you'll eventually end up with money for both of them. But which would you recommend?
"Remember, If I can do it, you can watch me do it."
Welcome to the South Main Astro Channel
My thoughts exactly...lol
It's not a shop without a air compressor pump kicking on and off, I love that sound. Honestly I like the doorbell and the phone ringing too
SMA brake vids are the caveman's form of meditation.
ThacMan ever heard of BEER?
I rest my case!!
Kind of off topic, but reminded me: Years ago went to work in a small (non automotive) 2 man shop... first thing I noticed was their impressively huge sounding compressor 'short cycling'. That first day I opened the compressor enclosure and found it indeed enormous, complete with eons worth of undisturbed dirt/spooge/grunge everywhere, including the drain & surrounding areas. I busted open said
drain & the thing vociferously spewed loathsome looking oily water for over an hour. Cycling went from every few minutes down to maybe twice a day. Don't even ask what it's oil & air filter looked like...
HA! Reminds me of an old 120 gallon compressor my buddy had at his rented shop. Was an oldie. He used it for painting cars, and kept having moisture issues. Figured I'd go above and beyond, and drain the water out ... only there was no drain. Had to get under there with an adjustable wrench, and take the bung out of the bottom. That's when I found out, the air pressure gauge was WRONG. There was 175 PSI in there when it read about 40! BAAANG!! I thought I had lost some fingers ... and my eardrum! Sounded like I stuck my head in a jet engine at full throttle. Deafening! I was COVERED in a light brown, rusty crusty water and mud mix. Checked myself out, and I still had all my digits, thankfully! You can bet I won't do that again! 🤣
@@SmittySmithsonite Glad your ok... that compressed air has a LOT of potential energy stored within.
@@rwbishop - Thanks. I hear that! The hole was a good size, too - 1-1/2" or bigger if I remember right.
@@SmittySmithsonite Lets see... please check my math. If the plug were 1.5" in diameter, it would have an effective surface area of about 3.7 square inches (A=π r²). 175 PSI X 3.7 means a force of 647.5 lbs was acting on the plug! I bet it did sting & make a racket!
@@rwbishop - I'm not good with math ... but, I can tell you for certain, it #$&%ing HURT! I may have peed a little too on that one ... 😁
To the “O” family happy holidays.
Thank you for two things.
1. Helping me work on a ton of mine and neighbors vehicles. Rust belt here outside of Chicago.
After retirement after 30 years, I find great help in your videos teaching and building confidence in repair of vehicles.
2. Finding a ton of helpful tools.
Beside myself ordering tools after seeing your recommendations and abuse.
My Bride even sneaks watching your videos. This is where she finds me tools for my birthdays and Xmas presents.
PS, Both myself and My Bride cried at your vehicle giveaway gift.
And that is a great thing to shed a tear for something that touches your Heart.
May God continue to Bless you and your Family.
You are a great teacher, so if You can do it, so can I.
So keep getting dirty.

I couldn't have stated things better, Albert!
I think we love front brake jobs because that is all us "weekend warriors" do, then we have a case of beer and pretend we just built a whole car.
True that brother. I changed a valve cover once i felt like a NASA engineer
And I thought I was a hero with hand tools
Weekend rookie I an
Damb, I didn't think anyone knew i did this, well shit!
@@BreadAndGatorade funny stuff.
Rotated my own tires. I felt like a NASCAR Crew Chief!
Keep the air compressor where it is. IT'S A SHOP for goodness sake, The people just need to stop whining about shop noises. Phone and doorbell too. None of it bothers me.
I agree. Plus it gets cold outside.
And if the compressor is outside, it's easier to steal. That said, putting a muffler on it should help.
Ya no need to move the compressor, if your watching a shop video then you should know your going to hear shop noises, doesn't bother me either.
Who da fook advised to move it outdoors?
I like when the phone rings and door bell goes off....means your a busy man..and it shows your REAL, not one of them fake You tube guys that edited everything out and make boring video's.....
Stay Golden Mr O.......LOL....Pony boy would love your videos...lol
I'm going to complain to Advance Auto because none of the cans of brake cleaner I use made the sound. At first, I thought I got a defective can. But nope, none of the cans I've purchased make that sound. No matter if the can is new, used or how hard I shake the can, they don't make that sound.
True Story - I went to AA and looked at the brake cleaner can. I added that sound bite to my phone and I kept shaking the can and playing the sound 10 plus times. I was asked politely to put the can down and leave. TESTED, PROVEN works!
I walked in the auto parts store the other day to get oil and filter for the truck. What was just inside the door? A stack of cases of brake clean. I had a hard time controlling my self from picking up a can and seeing if it made the sound.
LOL
That music blast when you show the brake cleaner makes my day, I think it's soo funny
I had thought I might surely tire of your brake videos by now after having watched several. But I have enjoyed each one. They are all uniquely presented and very interesting. I always look forward to the brake clean and lanolin spray.
It is so refreshing to see a mechanic do a job properly using the correct materials... Your customers are lucky to have you! I live in the deep South (where we have our own rust issues!), and I find it amazing that a 2014 auto has that much rust!
Got to love the Bromance that Eric has with his supplier.
Do you think he is just using me? I mean I have feelings ya know....
@@SouthMainAuto : Mrs O may not enjoy sharing you with someone else. Or ,like my lady, may find enjoyment seeing someone else suffering with you 👍👍
Awesome cool video. Thank you for sharing it. I like the new tools.
My old boss many moons ago decided when he did a shop expansion to build a room for the compressor. It was a nice 5x5 cinderblock room for the 120 gallon tanked compressor.
All was well for about four months then the summer temperatures and lack of airflow over the oil cooler tubes cooked it.
Moral of the story, get a scroll compressor. Much quieter, faster recovery, and takes up less space.
Congrats on the progress of your channel, Mr. O! Been with you since 30K subscribers, when you had that Ford Escape that was DOA, couldn’t run anymore. Keep up the great work!!
Eric, love the brake videos, you taught me to do a better brake job. Thank You !
I think it is how you make it look so easy and explain things is why I watch. The humour helps too. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks Brother
I appreciate a great video that was done extremely professional!
I’m glad I found you on you tube ,
I will be watching for future videos .
Thanks again
They like to have you try their tools because they know you will put their tools through the paces and that you are an honest and skilled mechanic, and that they can get an honest, straightforward, unbiased, and reliable assessment of their tools from you. In other words you are an asset!!!!
Nice product showcase for the christmas shopping people! Great stuff. Thanks Dr. O!
Air Tools and Bake Clean
Fine day indeed
Great Video, Thanks!
I love Astro Pneumatic stuff. I use my 3/8" Onyx constantly.
Astro has been killing it for quite some time now. Haven't realized it until now, but I've got ALOT of Astro's stuff, and knock on wood, NONE of it has busted so far! I'm gonna have to git me that there compact impact you've got! Thing is sweet! Will fit a lot more places than my IR impact, for sure. I also hate the snap ring on my IR stuff - that was one of the first things I broke on it when I first got it. A socket got stubborn ... I got mad ... the rest is history. Now I've got 4 spares, and haven't needed any of them, lol.
My sister-in-law stopped by with her '04 Olds Alero the other day - this is the one that I had to Time-Sert the rocker stud back into the cylinder head, back when the car had 64k miles on it a couple years back. Anyhoooooo ... she's been having flat or slow leaker tires the past few weeks. The lips on a couple of them were tacoed - hit some real nice holes in our lovely MA highways. One in particular had cracked and was leaking THROUGH the rim! They're pretty wide and low profile for a sedan like this (more sports-car like), but the size of the tire matched the door sticker. They look like aftermarket mags, since they're a chrome 5-spoke. I started checking the rest, and I saw sections of the outer lip busted right off, or bent into a "V", with a crack at the peak. That got me wondering ... so I took a closer look at the hub for any markings. One said "GM" ... except it looked like a 5 year old had been playing with castings. Looked more like a "CM" than "GM". In other words, I think these were counterfeit chinese copies! First I've ever seen of that, but I've also never seen rims crack and break like this - normally they'll just bend on big potholes, but these ones just break, even with just minor bends! Never know what you'll see these days ...
Enjoyed the Trained By Techs show last night - was glad to see you and Keith on there! 👍😎👍
Eric looks like a good tool to get in tight places with a long reach. Keep us updated. ❤️
This is by far the best ,auto repair on youtube clear easy to understand my wife ask me since I watch your channel, she tell me fix her car .
Been happy with all my Astro tools! Nice video Eric!
That riff when big nasty came out was 🔥🔥
Never get tired of brake jobs! Love the new toy you lucky ducker!!
Its not just a brake job..its educational and entertaining. Hot coffee and South Main Auto.
I'm glad to see Astro lets you test their tools. It's because of you I first heard of them and i bought an 1822 because you liked yours. It's now my main impact it knocks loose 85% of fasteners I put it to working mostly on Ford Trucks and fits into areas my big Mac and IRs only dream of going thanks for that recommend btw.
Nice to see a company that actual does R & D plus a nice amount of quality control on their products. In a world of Chinesium junk, Astro seems to be grade A! I hope my new Astro 65SL work light holds up. Bought it from the SMA😎 store to support the channel.
Hey Kenneth, thank you so much for the gift that arrived today in the mail! Very much appreciated :D
@@SouthMainAuto no problem. I never know what to get the guy that has everything. Just finished watching your live stream on trained by techs. I still hope you make an exception to service my car when I need important work done. Happy Holidays.
Thanks Eric. We all love new tools. I moved my dust collector (wood working) outside but kept the air compressor indoors due to the cold. Freezing temperatures and compressors are a poor mix. I even added a pad heater under my compressor pump with a thermostat since it sits against an outside wall.
I like that 90º pneumatic impact gun. I have some Astro stuff. Seems high quality and affordable. I'm just a shade tree guy. Like watching how things SHOULD BE done instead of just me struggling with my try and die efforts. Merry Christmas to all the O's and friends. Good clean fun and playing.
The "pssshh" when you first start the video is my exact reaction when the lugs are swollen 😂😂😂
I never watch Scotty's videos. But his title today interested me. You have to see it. He explains why you should not put your brake pads on backwards. Surely he is speaking from experience.
I can't speak for the others, but I love the brake jobs because I am always waiting for the Brake Clean shot and music.... ahhhh..... ok back to the day. Thanks Eric O. for the great videos. Also, looking forward to seeing how well them new tools do.
Great moves with your air tools.👍🏾
Congratulations on getting chosen to try that prototype. That is cool. Now you could say they sponsor you. Super job that thing did. Hope to see you get more prototypes to try. Gotta love the tell me when it breaks.
Can't wait for that impact to be released
Very nice
I have that OTC rotor remover. That thing is awesome!! Makes quick work out of removing stubborn rusted on rotors.
Bonus video, chunky! Thanks for sharing.
As a viewer who lives in Australia I'm always astonished by how much rust there is under the cars you work on. I have just replaced the oem rotors on a 20 odd year old Ford Falcon with 100 000 ks ( about 63 000 miles ) and there was no corrosion to speak of, even though the car is never garaged, yet I see on your channel 4-5 year old cars falling apart with rust. Shows how much damage salt does to cars. Love your work, keep smiling.
Merry Christmas to you all
I love astro tools. I've had really good luck with them and fairly priced.
as usual your videos are full of wit and information keep up the great work
watching you doing a brake job is very relaxing :-))
I need those swivel sockets! They are so useful, I end up borrowing them from the guy I work with all the time. Haven't had the extra cash to dish out for tool truck priced swivel sockets yet... You save me money with all these good tools you show that aren't double the price because they're brought to me on a tool truck..
Keep the compressor right there Eric I hear it all day at work I don't mind it.
If you put the compressor out side Eric the cold may ice up the valves and moisture in the tank unless like the trucks it has a air drier , just leave it be it's part of the corse having a professional. Work shop , it does not bother me , I like the new tool I just finished making that brake wedge from the caulking gun thank for showing all your improvised tools gives me something to do in my old age AL .
I love Astro tools, some of the best guns out there for the money
Really like the looks of that impact. Can see where it would be quite useful. Will keep eye out for it to become available!
I know it is an older vid but I have a '12 equinox that I need to do brakes on soon, thank God no rust here in Texas. Thanks for making it!
I have the 1832 1/2" version...frigging love it!!!
I wish the mechanics around here were half as truthful as you Eric
I am so used to hearing our air compressor at work don't even notice it anymore, thanks for sharing
another great video Eric. You have sold me on the Astro products, i got the Astro 1822 impact and use it for everything gonna have to try out those pinless sockets and see how they hold up.
I'm a total fan of brake jobs. Greetings from Italy!
Like the fluid film treatment. And the lube under abutment plates, keeps pads from locking up. I throw the brackets in my blast cabinet abd bead blast. Last pair of rotors were oiled.
Air compressor, run intake outside,75%noise reduction. Done it, awesome.
A quality brake job in my opinion.
Great video As always! Cool new tools.
We love the front brake jobs.
Cool Tool. Looks great for tight spots.
At the shop I worked we had sort of cabinet around the compressor with a hole lot of soundproofing on the inside and it helped a great deal
Great tool's to use and work will become easier and faster.
You could move the air compressor in the office to keep Mrs. O awake.... :)
Eric you mrs o and family have a merry christmas and a happy new year!
whenever i have a bad day working on cars, all i have to do is watch an SMA video and i remember i'm thankful that i work on cars in florida haha....great video as always...
I like it "If Eric can't break it we'll sell it". I purchased a few tools from your recommendations and I've been very happy with the results. I'm sure this new tool from Astro will be no exception.
I hear that, Wyatt. Big Nasty has been the best thing I've ever purchased! Saved me countless hours of swinging a 4-pound sledge over the past 18 months or so. 😎
Same with that Super Scraper - I get differential jobs done MUCH faster now. Used to take me a solid hour on some vehicles cleaning up old, baked-on gasket material. That thing is awesome!
You'd think DORMAN would get the hint!!!
Except he broke a Milwaukee. I can't do that. Things just keep on.
Like the new tool. As always, perfect job.
Man, I really like your style!
As far as the compressor being outside, I work at a shop with 3 big compressos. Two are outside in a shed just like you would have at your house. It's sits on a bed of stones. We've never had any issues with that setup.
-Justin Sliwka
Glad I found your channel great content very informative I’m from the Buffalo area not very far from you like watching local area tubers !
Those swollen lugs in the beginning, your reaction is my reaction every time!
Astro making the right moves having Eric O bashing, breaking in a prototype
That bonus footage tool was awesome.
Always great vids
glad to see that you DID keep the Big Nasty music. Good job.
Another good brake job Eric
Great video! Love learning things.
New Astro right angle impact.....1 ugga-dugga on tightening 13mm caliper bolts...got it!!
enjoy your videos,,like your sense of humor
I have the matco sockets like that and I love them crazy durable only had one fail but it didn't brake really just lost the roll lock that holds it together. That impact ratchet thing is sweet though... may have to get one at some point.
"Please give these the beans." That's all I needed to hear! Let the big dog eat, Mr. O! (And brake jobs are no problem!)
Shout out to upstate New York I live like 40 minutes north of Albany up in the sticks but sadly for mechanics New York kinda devours cars alive but my 88 f-150 is still kicking thanks for the content Eric
Eric,
Great video - thank you! Good luck with the new Astro tools and let us know how they hold up long term. I just finished with the front brakes (pads/rotors) on my wifes Jetta - you would be proud! I will have to to rent the tool to retract the pistons when I do the rears. I have the Astro 'hub tamer' set 78825 for when I did the front wheel bearings on my 02 Focus last spring. Great tool and I will definitely consider other Astro tools going forward.
SMA#1
God bless
Paul
I'll admit, I have bought some tools you use, especially Astro Pneumatic. Thanks Eric!
Yeah I like the air compressor inside too.... & I love your new cool tools Eric buddy!!!!!
Great they are letting you do the design tests for those new Astro tools. More beans!!
Like that extra footage. Chunky indeed!
Great job today. I like doing brakes on my 88 C1500 and its easy.
Cool new tools, two thumbs up 👍
I need me a set of those pin-less buggers !
Awesome video as always!! Getting close to 1/4 of a million subscribers. Big plans to celebrate? Looks like it's going to happen soon and VERY well deserved!
Those brakes must've sounded great, crunching away.
@ South Main - I LOL when I heard you say, "Looks good from my house!" You don't know how many times I've said that very same phrase when working on whatever.
Cool looking tool. Nice work
Love that air tool.
Hello Mrs and Mr O IF you want to lower The noise from your compressor i can recomend build a simple box of plywood around the compressor and insulate the inside. Give the box a few inch of ventilation top and bottom to keep the compressor cold and happy.
We did this at my work a few years back and it has been great.
Thanks for all of your time to make all god videos!
Have a awsome christmas holliday.
Patrik from sweden!
Great job Eric O!!
Looking forward to those Astro pinless swivel sockets. They will look just dandy sitting next to my spotless, unused Nano in my "exhibition" tool chest.
