These videos are a joke anyway. Technically, the 2nd year was the fastest, too. The so-called "qualified tradie"had to make a tape band probably took 5m to do his goofy little trick.

He would be done and moved on by the time the "qualify tradie" finished playing around with his tape contraption
What if the end they are threading IS the short end? I mean, I have no idea what this is for, but if the rod has to go through 2-3 feet it becomes a 2 person job if you thread it ahead of time. Turning a 1-man job into a 2-man job is definitely not working smarter.
@DemocratsBeGrooming How do you get the bolt to stay put without a second person to hold it? With the nut on top first it can be fed down through whatever hole it is being fed through. Then you go down to the bottom and thread the bottom nut up. If you feed it from the bottom, one person must hold the rod while the other person goes up top and can take it and thread a nut for the top side. Thus, a one person job becomes a two person job. You really haven't thought this through, have you?
Woulda seen the need coming and attached it at the other end prior to installing, but would have forgotten the washer so need to take it back off and put it back on the hard way anyway.
Then you realized you had no idea how all thread works and with no workers you go bankrupt and lose everything, but your employers were smart enough to organize into their local ibew chapter so they didn't mind getting let go at all, they just got a week or two off with paid unemployment and they're already back out to the next job
@@joshmonaco6170oh almighty fucking wise one, all threads work the same, they are all literally threaded. If the threads work differently then you should probably be bitching the supply house out.
The tape trick is a good one. If your all thread isn’t clean though a wire wheel works wonderfully too. It’ll clean the thread while spinning the nut without fail.

@@BTW...How do you know the threaded rod is soft „as shit” .. forgive me I’m not a construction worker just a simple minded engineer.

Use a wire wheel on an impact, jamb it up against the bottom of the nut and the all thread, then go to town... you'll be amazed. Plus you get the secondary bonus of cleaning the threads
Another method is to take a length of electrical conduit, put the nut in the end and bang the conduit that's over the nut to form a socket. Repeat with the other side with 2 nuts (locked) around a piece of awl thread, the grind the the awl thread to form a drill chuck. Now you have a very long open socket to drive nuts. I usually had 2 or 3 of them at various lengths from 1 foot to 3 foot.
You could just double nut and put the chuck on those instead. Also you wouldn't need to tighten the chuck enough to damage the threads in the first place.
Pro tip : put a rubber handled screwdriver shaft first into the chuck of your drill and position it next to the nut. use the friction from the rubber to spin the nut up and down the all thread . Ur welcome

Well the "belt" is tape so you don't need an open end for that either. You do need an open end to start the nut though.
