Yea I've noticed that a LOT of tool manufacturers these days cut their costs by just skipping the whole heat treatment and tempering parts of the production line, we bought some steel scribes and centre punches and they all deformed with the very first use of them, so we sharpened them all and then did a quick little heat treat just with Mapp gas torch and a bucket of water and they haven't lost their points ever since, even after several staircase and balcony jobs where we used them religiously. You can turn a lot of cheaper tools into very good ones by just finishing the manufacturing process on em
Honestly, it's a pretty decent tool. (If given to me) I wouldn't mind having them in my every day kit. It's always nice to have a tool that can be sacrificed to complete a job and save your nicer tools to live another day
Always have a couple cheapies for sacrificial purposes, screwdrivers, couple wrenches, etc, whatever you’re trade would require, not like with the tons we have to own a couple more pounds matter
Nah AVE is different. He’s all about foreplay. This guy gets right to it and knows all the right moves. I respect AVE very much but he just gets to talking and while it’s entertaining stuff sometimes after a hard day of work I just want to watch a man trying to explode a wrench with his Parker hose press tool in the back of his work van…. In fact I want it most days and I just can’t find it.
That was a hair anti-climactic, but those pliers were just too soft. Actually, it's a little impressive that they did not pop! Haha. Great videos man!!
You wont believe what i've cut with pliers and a hammer hitting the handle on the ground as a kid, but they wont cut wrenches in half, never. I still have some pliers which split and bended like this in the video, hoping i'll make a restoration sometime as they were my first pliers.
Funny that you say that I remember doing exactly what you said many times as a young inexperienced and stupid kid. The stupid shit we do when young amazes me.

Took a beating and held up surprisingly well. Other tests to failure I've seen have the head snap at the pivot or the pivot even fly off, probably because the harder steel is more brittle. Great vid - I was hoping for something more catastrophic but the burial was a fitting end.
This video took "Giving them the benefit of the doubt" to a whole new level. They performed about as well as I assumed they would, but I'm also disappointed that they didn't explode

Hi I enjoy your common sense years of experience advice, always learning. These wildly exaggerated product claim shot downs are fun. I wasted hours over the weekend considering Wera tools until I came to my senses. The socket sets are probably good emergency tools for a vehicle but not everyday. The joker wrenches are thick and unlikely to be good for confined spaces. I came so close to drinking the koolaid
Just came to say, like some of the other people have, that your videos are becoming higher quality the more you do then and I enjoy watching them. Keep up the great work and entertaining content!
You should get together with the Finnish guy who breaks stuff in a big hydraulic press. You know an archaeologist is going to find those 100 years from now and wonder what superhuman strongman must have used them.
I guess the lesson of the day is don't try to cut a wrench with plyers because it doesn't work. Paul bearers please report to the grass knoll of tools🥺😭🤣
Not quite sure, but I've seen several comments saying how if it was a better aloy/higher carbon steel, they would've popped, and I agree. I can imagine that they are something close to A36[mild steel]. It's probably a little better, since they are still a "tool" but yeah. Probably not to far of from rail spikes or similar stuff.
It also depends on heat treatment of the tool. Harder steel is more brittle. However making tools reliably hard is difficult and costs a lot of money, easier to just temper the shit out of it to make it 'hard enough.' Downside is, this has negative effects durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. You can get some petty good tools out of medium carbon with a good heat treat. But, being mass produced and chinese, little care is put in.
I feel like this is one of those tools you leave in a glovebox or a back seat that you never think of using but when you really need it it pays for itself
You’re my new favourite channel on yt. You remind me so much of all the goofy shit me and my uncle would do at his auto shop when I was growing up. You’re the funniest guy on this platform :)
I'm actually impressed with those pliers. A hell of a torture and they bent a little, better than the shit Snap on ones, I break them on just wire. I mean the ads for these are shit but if used for their purpose, they would be great lineman pliers.
@@TheLongDon bending is fine when you use this kind of force. Bending when squeezing in hand is bad no hand tool is made to resist this kind of torture.
@@hommie789 The reason tools bend vs break is based on the steel and whether its hardened. Most high quality tools will be better, hardened steel, whereas lower quality tools will be just regular steel. There is no world where you get both hardened steel and be able to bend without breaking. Hardened steel will shatter as opposed to breaking, as it's tougher but more brittle.
Love this guys short vids on tool/llife hacks. 2 enthusiastic thumbs up! I know I'm way late to the party and others may ahve noticed it but the wrench looked to be scored on the back side and they were just finishing it of with these bad boys. Not really cutting but more of bending at that cut joint.
Great video, really entertaining. I would just like to recommend eye protection in case something does pop and then ricochet above your shield. Love the work you do!

I will say the ability to resist catastrophic explosive failure and result in just bending is impressive. I'd buy one as a pair of pliers and use the cutter on basic automotive wiring. Passes in my book but I'm not in construction.

You got my instant Luke for the title, and my comment for funeral. A beautiful video. The only thing that would have improved it would have been to wave the middle finger at copyright strikes and play “If I Die Young” by the Band Perry during the funeral.
We also use those enerpacs and rams to widen the flanges of beams, so stiffner plates can slide right in and be adjusted easily then tacked in place remeasured to see if it has been placed correctly before welding.
Had the pliers been a harder steel, then they definitely would've exploded. The funeral service was beautiful. 🤣
