Hey Todd! It was so excellent to meet you this weekend at The Off Road Games!
You were my pick for the winner of the rock crawling event.
I've already made good use of the RGVOTA battery bank. It kept my phone at 100% while I was filming on the other days.
I really appreciate how you took as much time as needed to talk with those who wanted to meet you.
You have a beautiful family!!
Everything about you seems to be,
VERY IMPRESSIVE!
Many blessings to you and your family!
Thanks so much! Likewise exciting to meet you and enjoyed our visit!
@@ProjectFarm and on march 19 winter will end
Can you use a hairdryer in a pinch? VS a heat gun
Really depends on the application. Hair dryers don't get NEARLY as hot as they're meant to be used on your person. I'm no expert, but I believe shrink tubing still shrinks (or just use a lighter)
@OverTheHorizon840 depends on how much heat you need. A hairdryer gets uncomfortably hot at best. A heat gun will singe the hair off your arm.
Seekone holds a special place in my heart.
Guy stole 2500$ worth of tools out of my apartment garage, came back 3 weeks later for more sneaking under garage door but saw his face while unloading groceries. 3 days later i saw my tools on marketplace and recognized my seekone heat gun and dudes face on marketplace. He met up with me and the fuzz and got convicted with burglary and i got my heat gun back :)
Thanks for sharing! Glad you got your heat gun back!
Good for you!
Man, I know the feeling. My house has been robbed three times now, I have never been a violent person but I sure would like to get my hands on those thieves. Glad you got your man!
@@PntBtrNjelus Me too and the police was usless.
Great ending!!!!
That spray of sparks at 11:40 from the Master was hilarious! What a shame it arrived broken!
@GoddessOfMisfortune That was the hotest one tested, as it made sparks fly.
Thanks for the feedback.
My old boss had a Master heat gun, it really felt like a 'buy once, cry once' tool. That thing was very used and abused, but an absolute champ. It's a real shame Todd received a dud.
Remind me again, which one is made in the USA?
@@TranslateToEnglishlol
What’s more amazing about this channel is not only does he pay for everything on his own with no advertising. He takes time to read and reply to almost if not every single comment. Even on older videos. Been a fan a long time man, keep doing your thing. You’re doing gods work
Thanks, will do!
I wonder how many manufacturers view this channel and say, “Well, back to the drawing board…” Massive thanks for the editing and time you put into making our lives better Todd.
Given how little Master Lock seems to care about LockPickingLawyer almost constantly trashing their products, I would think that they would not even pay attention. Nowadays it's all about sales numbers, and not customer satisfaction. If it doesn't make the shareholders happy, then maybe something will be done.
Thanks!
They all better be. This guy is a QA departments Babe Ruth.
@@wallingj68 Facts. Well said.
dewalt and milwaukee doesn't give a s**t. they can make complete garbage and people will still buy out of brand loyalty. i'm here because my milwaukee heat gun died after 2 uses. i was able to use it for a total of 20 seconds. removed a shipping label and melted a plastic washer. that was it. they charge $150 for this, you'd think they would at least test it. still not the worst milwaukee experience i had.
I use a heat gun 3 hours a day at work for the last 20 years. We went through many failed heat guns. Started buying the Porter Cable around 2015. They last longer than any other heat guns we have tried. For a home gamer, I can say the Porter Cable will last a lifetime. When I eventually drop them and they do break, I can usually fix them. The other heat guns, the circuit board fails after a month or two.
Ah yes but how many of the cheap HF warriors would it cost to get one protect cable?
I really appreciate the info a lot though. Just for most home gamers I feel like any of these are pretty likely to last forever.
@@GeoffreyVonbargen Those Porter Cables are cheap. I picked mine up for 20 dollars off amazon in 2017
It aggravates me that a heat gun even NEEDS a circuit board.
Thanks for sharing.
@MicahThomason Same, some of the older turbo shaped ones don't have a circuit board. They still fail. Usually, the wire crimp to the heating element fails on any of them after a while.
I have never been more satisfied and impressed by the analytical methods and capacity on any content creator through all these reviews
Thanks so much!
It must be a real challenge doing this all on your own waiting for things to heat-up and cool-down again to then start again. Thanks for doing this and spending the time and attention to detail.
You are welcome!
Everytime a Hercules tool is featured all I can think of is Eddie Murphy: "Hercules! Hercules! Hercules!"
Suggested video: Best cellphone FULL BODY PROTECTOR case, example: Otterbox vs Crave vs FNTCase vs Miracase - scratch and water resistance, drop test
Great video idea! Thank you
@@ProjectFarm test it on the most expensive cellphones made. Maybe the will give a discount on 50 cellphones.
Add Supcase brand cases to the list too please@@ProjectFarm
Test a Torro leather smartphone case as well, mine held up great for 2&1/2 years with no damage to my Samsung S22Ultra
This would be easy to do with generic glass cut to the right dimensions to keep from destroying a bunch of iphones.
I have a 40 ish year old Craftsman heat gun that I believe was my grandpa's that still works like a charm, and is still the best and most powerful heat gun I've ever used. I was definitely rooting for the Craftsman and I'm glad to see they still make a great heat gun that outperforms almost every other
Craftsman tools today aren't the same
@@CybekCusalYou’re right. They used to be great when they were made in US. Now it’s just China junk like all the other cheap brands.
Thanks for sharing.
@CybekCusal Oh for sure not, for the most part I'd say they've been going downhill with no brakes in the last 10 years... but some of it still isn't bad at all
@@CybekCusal they arent. But for a DIYr like myself i still by them, especially at lowes because they usually have some great deals.
I work general maintenance and I usually don’t really care for craftsman but found myself needing a heat gun about 3 years ago and it was the first decent looking one for the best price that I saw. 3 years later it’s helped dozens of electrical heat shrinks, loosening valves/bolts/nuts, and many other jobs even in sub zero temps. I’ve hated on craftsman before on other tools but this one for the price has been outstanding.
Thanks for the feedback.

There's alot of us heatgun aficionados awake at 3am 😂
My uncle always used a heat gun to light the charcoal grill or his wood stoove.
Always worked like a charm.
Nice! Thank you
What's he got against lighters and matches?
Thanks for sharing.
Never considered that... Certainly would work. But I'll keep the blow torch handy.
@@alantorchia6674 heat the coals make it burn better
By far the best review channel on RUclips. Followed by torque test. The amount of work you put in trying to eliminate variables and account for errors in testing is amazing. I've watched other tool comparison videos and they just leave a lot of questions unanswered. I look forward to your videos each week. I also want to add that I have the Wagner heat gun and it has worked quite well for everything I've needed but I don't often use it which is why I don't care to invest in a better one.
Thanks!
Hi project farm! Warching from the uk here, love all your content especially the one about small power banks, im somewhat of a prepper and i have over 10 larger power stations and would love to see your scientific unbiased review. Thanks for all the hard work you put into each video😊
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes. Now my Sunday is off to a great start
Thank you!

@@OverTheHorizon840 with our favorite Leprechaun!
Thank you for continuing to note where the products are made.
You are welcome!
I also appreciate knowing country of origin. Thank you.@@ProjectFarm
I would love to see a video where you show some of the various testing devices you use. One of the most impressive parts of your videos (for me, at least) is that you know about all these instruments and are able to adapt them to your testing methods. Very impressive!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
- I own the Warrior. I paid $7 in HFT about 7 years ago. I used 2 weeks a go to replace the gasket inside my tub spout. And last week to replace the old caulking in the bathtub. This heat gun performed really well. I'm sure, the better ones will do wonders. But, I'm just fine with what I have. Thanks for the review!
You are welcome!
I love the Steinel heat gun. 120-1300F in 10 increments. It was not cheap, but it is top quality.
Thanks for the feedback.
One thing you missed--a drop test. Heat guns usually have a fragile system of holding the heating element and some fail with even a minor concussion. And who hasn't knocked over or dropped a tool like that at least once?
Keep up the good work. As always, an excellent overview to narrow the field of possible choices when deciding what to buy. I would never have thought a modern Craftsman would at the top of the list--their tool quality took such a nosedive decades ago.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I agree, but also I think he missed a golden opportunity to through in a cheap hair dryer for comparison. You can do a lot with your wife's old hair dryer and technically it's free....ish.
unless you get caught and then it is VERY expensive, haha@@JustinArrington
After breaking too many heat guns by dropping them, I glued 1/2" foam to strategic places on my latest one, and that has worked out very well so far.
@@JustinArringtonYou sir are a brave man.
Great job. Thank you for all your hard work putting this video together.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Hey Todd, I feel good with my purchase of the Seekone that was purchased about a year ago and now your video confirms my purchase. I really enjoyed meeting you and your family at the Matt's Offroad Games.
Thanks! It was great meeting you as well!
Hey! I requested the heat guns months ago, thanks. This really is the most unbiased testing on everything
Thanks! Thanks for requesting this video idea.
I have a master and have found it to be very reliable. After owning the gun for 10 years, it stopped working so I sent it back to Master for repair. A few weeks later Master returned a brand new gun to me!
That's great American customer service.
Thanks for sharing!
Great testing !! Thanks so much for all your hard work!
Thanks!
It was awesome to meet you last weekend!! I was so surprised to see you there. Thanks for all your great videos!
You are welcome! Likewise it was great meeting you!
Warrior guns constantly go on sale for $10. I would say that for most if not all DIY projects, it is the best deal based on price and how often it will be used.
Thanks for sharing.
I have had 2 catch on fire after a few months of use. I switched brands 😂
@@joshuaschaa9844 ...but still, $10 though!😁
Ive had the wagner for years and its put in plenty of work.
Next time you might want to test the cords. Sometimes the cords are more plastic and retain the shape. When you set the heatgun down the cord can make the heatgun shift and fall over, or if it touches the metal end of the heatgun it may burn through the cord. Some cords are more resistant to being melted/burned than others. That could cause a short or exposed wires.
Thanks for the constructive feedback.
That's a great point! Those plastic cords are a safety hazard. My cheap HF heat gun cord is permanently coiled.
Thanks for the great reviews! I needed a heat gun for removing some industrial adhesive from my shower and for melting heat shrink about 6 months ago and bought a seek one and to be really cheap it’s done well. Glad to see that it did ok in the testing. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for sharing.
It was awesome to meet you in person! Thank you for all your efforts and knowledge. Sometimes I watch just to see how you test products, its amazing. Very informative and very impressive
Thanks and you are welcome! It was great meeting you also!
Great video as always Todd! The service you provide to the Tube community is so good, thank you sir!!
Request: Porta-band saws, corded and batt power. These tools are clamed to be indispensable, "once you own one you will never put it back in the case".
I've been without this tool, fabricating and building for 30 years, looking to find the best before I buy!!
Thanks again Todd, you are the "consumer reports" for us!!
I love the consistency on your uploads!
I synch my clocks with his uploads. 12:50 EST every time...
Thanks!
I am an electrician and all your information very helpful. I needed a cordless heat gun and have makita. So helpful seeing cordless slower but effective
Thanks!
Todd another awesome great test greatly thought out and excellently executed thank you
Thanks so much!
I have owned the Warrior heat gun for three years now. I use it mostly to thaw the kitchen pipes. I paid $14 USD for it with HF coupon. Loved this one, I know if and "WEN" I need a replacement for general use, I will get another Warrior.
I have and use a warrior heat gun too. Zero complaints, still going strong, and does what I need.
I landed one for $8 back in the Harbor Freight coupon golden age. Best $8 I've ever spent.
Think I paid $10 for mine. Great tool for the price
It’s now $9.92 w/coupon
I paid under $10 for mine actually bought 2 for each home, have used them for countless jobs trouble free just stripped all paint off trim and doors in my spare bedroom. Cant see ever spending more than this for one ever!
The Variable Electronic type heat gun is extremely useful for things like heat-shrink tubing and connectors, where accuracy is desired to get the correct "recovery temperature". It would have been good to see accuracy of Makita Corded, and Hercules. Adding a Milwaukee 8988-20 corded variable electronic into the mix would be useful for that too. Thanks Todd!
You are welcome
I admire the cleverness of your tests. Melting a glue stick till dropping-very impressive!
Thanks!
Interesting results, thanks for sharing the testing with us PF!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I bought the same Wagner model for $15 about 20 years ago. Glad to see I don't need to bother replacing it!
I got mine at a yard sale, that is black and probably a similar age, good to see the company has not changed it hardly.
dont buy wagner nowadays. theyre pitifully bad quality across all their tools. they dont stand by their warranty either.
Thanks for the feedback.
My Wagner bought new 8 years ago is still going strong 💪
I also bought one of the yellow ones forever ago. Still works great!
I've had that Wagner heat gun for several years now, thought about upgrading it but after watching your video I think I will keep it. Never had a problem with how it performs and because it only draws about 1200W I don't have to be as concerned about tripping a breaker with it at a job site. Compact, very durable without any digital interface or extra knobs to get broken off, and pretty cheap.
Thanks for the feedback.k
My dad has an ancient version of the wagner with black plastic and a red switch. It's exactly the same plastic molding and it's probably going on 30 years old. Still works a treat. 1200w is plenty and won't stress breakers.
Thank you for saying that, I feel same. I don't think enough value was added for the fact that is was the lowest powered one there, and still performed well, and with such a low price.
I sold all my Milwaukee and switched to MAKITA. Never turned back, and I love it.
They R the best
Sorry for your loss
@@GeorgeOrwell-tp8dw sorry 4 yours
Thanks for the feedback.
smart man
Great video!
Cool to see craftsman do well! I have an old craftsman corded heat gun at least 25+ years old and it still kicks but to this day!
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I worked in a shop making prototypes for a large company which made cabinets and some furniture items. One day, a co-worker spilled a drink right on his crotch, and the guy didn't like the "just wet my pants" look, so he dried them.
He held out on the fly and dried the pants with a heat gun. Nice and dry, and super quick. The good part was the noises he made, along with this cute dance, when he let go of the material and that red hot zipper was against him. Underwear is insufficient insulation if you ever try this.
🤣😂
Man. I got a $10 Amazon special and I knew to keep it on the first 750W setting when I ran it a few inches over a flannel bedsheet that was a bit damp from the dryer(Awful dryer with a smart sensor that doesn't work good). He asked for those burns when he didn't think about what he was trying. Distance, people, it makes the difference to keep you from burning your loins.
I bought the Warrior ~10 years ago.. still have it and it works fine.. Bought the Porter-Cable about 5 years ago because I can dial the heat up and down..still works great..I use them for wiring mostly but their handy for all types of jobs..
Thanks for sharing.
Maybe its the extreme cold or something where I live but the cord on mine turned hard and cracked after only a few uses in the winter
Thanks! I was wondering which one was best value. Came here to find out. As usual, Project Farm doesn't disappoint!😊
You are welcome!
Great job, great channel.
I also liked and was very proud of you with BSF Recovery on the Off Road Games.
Thanks so much!
I have an older Craftsman heat gun. It's never failed me in all of the years that I used it.
Thanks for the feedback.
I was very surprised the Master was a non-starter. I've had mine forever, and it was old when I bought it surplus. Weighs a ton and loud as a jet - and works great.
I used to win at work for over 20 years and it never failed.
Thanks for the feedback.
I always appreciate all you do. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much!
I can't imagine how much time it takes you to make these videos. I often wonder if people realize this. You are amazing, you take the time out of your day to test all these tools, I realize you have a RUclips channel and it's what you decided to do with your time, but I honestly THANK YOU for doing these. I ALWAYS look to see if you made a video on a tool I am about to buy. Lol i cannot tell you how ma y times i picked a tool based on your videos.
Thanks so much!
Spectacular review, as you are used to!
As the owner of a Milwaukee 2688-20, very satisfied with its performance.
Greetings from Córdoba, Argentina!
Many thanks!
FYI, For precision use, I have been very happy with my Hitachi RH650V, fully digital airspeed and temp control. Purchased in 2016, and still working like new. Having these controls is a game changer for use. From melting cheese for making toaster grilled cheese, to warming polymers to just the right temp for manipulating, to removing SMD components... this device, at $69 is the best. It's no longer called Hitachi, now it's called the Metabo HPT RH650V. (Same gun, and STILL 69$ !!)
If my old Wagner HT3500 dies, that'll go on the shortlist. It's real nice to have low power as an option to warm boards for desoldering or shrinking film. Never thought about using it for cooking though.
Hmmm, perhaps a Cheesemallow test would be in order?
@@random_nheat guns work a treat for roasting peppers and the like
@@virtualtools_3021 I was wondering what I'd use one for, but I see I can get a cordless one to melt the cheeses and then roast peppers. Thank you both.
Thanks for sharing.
Great timing because I need a new one. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you for another great video . I have the HF warrior heat gun. It does the job well. I've used it for a number of jobs for about 4-5 years. Still works great.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I still have my HF orange heatgun from around 1985. It was che eeep!
I have one too, about 12 years old and works great. Go big orange!
Thanks for the feedback.
I wish they still made those. They last forever @@garylee9738
Thank you as the one we have and have repaired many times finally said no more. We appreciate your reviews.
Thanks!
I was literally thinking about asking for this one, thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the video, Todd. Very informative.
Thanks and you are welcome!
4:43 I have the Seekone, however my biggest complaint is that the heat adjustment is opposite the sticker, so the hottest setting is when the marker is what looks like the lowest temp.
Thanks for the feedback.
I just bought the Seekone, haven't used it yet but noticed it seemed like it'd be this way. Glad I read this comment to confirm my suspicions.
Would LOVE too see automotive air filters. Stock paper filters, basic fram, stp, amazon basics, next step up extra guard type, next step tough guard type, finally premium like k&n and re usable filters, and conical type cold air intake filters/AEM, Banks, performance brands.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I am pretty sure he has already made a similar video
That has been done by PF already. And for the "premium" like K&N hope you like sand and dust in the engine.
@@ducewagsyeah I hate those performance filters.
I super charged my car and kept the factory paper filter. If it can flow enough air to feed my supercharger and let it create 9 psi, it is more than capable of feeding the stock engine.
I'm not swapping it for something that lets fine dust through.
@@volvo09 If you have room in the air box, just use a thicker filter. I my self run two 8X8 round filters on my twin carb setup. The days of a 2X8 filter were long gone when they get sucked down the carbs, into the blower. That little "scoop" you see on blowers is a rather silly idea when moving air into a pump.
Love your dedication and the way you test things❤
Thanks!
Im sure im not the only one to request this, but a few months back, i requested this, and PF listened and came through....i can now make my choice with confidence knowing PF put the heat guns through thier paces..Thanks PF
You are welcome! Thanks for requesting this video idea.
I bought that Black & Decker heat gun years ago and have used it many times. I can honestly say it’s very reliable and cheap for the budget minded shopper. But overall, get yourself a heat gun no matter the brand. It comes very handy when you need it
I have had 1 for about 3 years, does everything I have ever needed it to do, still works great.
Thanks for the feedback.
It's one of those tools you don't actually need all that often, but when you do, you'll regret not having one. It should be in every homeowner's toolkit.
I’d get the Milwaukee one just because I already have M18 batteries and I prefer cordless tools, but they all look like they’d get the job done.
My workplace uses Master Appliance heat guns. They are more expensive but do last through abuse and they sell parts so you can repair them.
Thanks or the feedback.
Great info as always. Thank you.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I clicked on the craftsman link you provided... the Amazon site said "PURCHASED MAY 6 2022".... WOOOHOOOOOO.!!!!.... victory...
Thank you for following my suggestion 👍🏼😃
Thanks for submitting the video idea!
I have said it before, but your ability to create fair, repeatable, scientific tests for all of the products makes it so much easier to gauge quality and value. thank you. keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your new videos pop up in my feed. my VA pension does not let me buy expensive tools, so I do have the Warrior from Harbor Freight. it has done a pretty good job for me for over a year now. but I still enjoyed this testing .
Thanks, will do!
Great job. I have a porter cable and it gets the job done. Thanks for an informative video
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you are including HF tools.
Thanks!
I remember requesting this video. Thank you for putting this video together though the heat gun I’m using is a Wagner Furno I may be upgrading after this video! -Kara
Thanks for requesting this video idea.
I usually consider 3 things-
Quality
Price
Where it’s made.
I appreciate hearing where it’s made in your videos. It weighs in on my choice. In this test, the Scorch Marker at $40, Made In USA would be my pick.
Suggestions for future videos:
Extension Ladders
Work Boots
Forgot MAGA hats and tee shirts
Yes, Uncle Eddie testing out the work boots.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions.
The Scorch Marker is NOT made in USA. See their website.
Thanks@@joebernier7724 - I did check their website and found this blurb:
"Scorch Marker is an American family-owned business. Evan developed the Scorch Marker in his own wood shop in California. We truly believe in creating jobs and contributing to our country - however - we were not able to find a manufacturer for this type of product in the USA. They just don't exist. So went overseas for this product. The good news is that we found a manufacturer that is willing to meet our strict guidelines and rigorous standards."
So, that weighs in on my decisions. I currently have an old heat gun that still works, but I like watching Project Farm tests to know what's being tested and if I need to upgrade.
Really appreciate your time and effort making your videos. They help a lot.
Thanks!
Thanks for taking my suggestion on heat guns! Been holding out for the past year on buying one until I saw your video! and an excellent one at that!
You are welcome! Thanks for suggesting the video idea.
I'm an industrial electrician and we've had the corded milwaukee for i don't know how many years, using it everyday and haven't given out yet, can't say for the other ones but the milwaukee corded is reliable long term no questions asked!
They are pretty reliable. I've gone through a few at work. The fan motor slowed down after a while. But I use a heat gun 3 hours a day, so normally, the Milwaukee is pretty good.
Same but nothing beats a full oven for anything bigger than 1"
Thanks for the feedback.
I don't even use a heat gun but I'm here for your videos. Your testing is top notch.
Thanks! Thanks for watching!
The corded Bauer from Harbor Freight has served me well. Great informative video!
Thanks!
Wow, what a list! Thanks, Todd!
You're welcome!
*Hi Todd, Would be nice to see testing done on LONGEVITY vs Name brand & No Name brands on the items that you test. While one item may take the lead during a 1 off test, how well does it do after daily use for 6 months ?*
Thanks for the suggestion.
Very impressive 🤙🏽
Thank you!
I first used the Master Heat Gun daily way back in 1965 at work, and now retired I bought my own for home about three years ago. In all this time I've never had a problem with any of the guns. As you ran it, I noticed the short seemed to occur just as you moved the switch. I really think you should have held off on the rest of the test until you got a replacement. This gun, in use makes the others look like toys. I love your videos, please keep up the good work.
Incredible showdown! You always do incredible work. I often use heating guns for doing custom wiring in cars.
Next video suggestion. Fire blankets (fire extinguisher alternative). I see an ad for the "Prepared Hero Fire Blanket" and I'd love to see how it performs compared to cheaper alternatives found on Amazon.
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
Suggestion: Color code your charts! Instead of the default blue bars, change them to represent something, like red for cordless and blue for corded. Same could be done with the charts at the end, like greenn for variable temp, yellow for dual, and red for single temp settings
Side note, that wagner heat gun has been around for a very long time. My dad has one with black plastic and it's probably going on 30 years old. Still works!
Thanks for sharing. Thanks for the suggestion.
Lol yeah my dad has one that's like 15 years old or more but not less
Video suggestion: prybar/wonderbar
@MM-he2iq That is a very large area to test, from 3 inches long to over 6 feet long.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have had a warrior heat gun in my toolbox for years. I don’t need it often for an actual heat gun, but more often as a load to test a power inverter in a truck. I tend to use it in conjunction with a kill-a-watt meter to test them. I have noticed my watts dropping off as of late so I am glad to see this test. Gives me a good idea what to replace it with.
Thanks for sharing.
Just bought a Ryobi EHG2020 corded heat gun for 79 €, love the digital setting on it, sows what you set and then ramps up/down to it quickly and keeps it there.

Good review of a very overlooked tool. It's good to know which brand to rely on. I own the Warrior courtesy of a Harbor Freight coupon and sale where I got it for $9!!! Had it for a couple of years and it does the job but lately I've considered getting a cordless one and this video helps me decide.
Thanks! Glad to hear!
Bought the Hercules from Harbor Freight about 3 months ago. Used discount coupon, got if for less than cost of Craftsman, and I have been happy so far. Glad to see it performed near top!
Never pay full price at HF always look for coupons
@@gardenstate235if you do pay full price and then it goes on sale within 90 days they will price adjust and refund you the difference
Man, I thought you were going to do a "what's the best way to turn water green" setting as it's St Patrick's Day 🤣
lol. Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm maybe next time 😉
Awesome review as always. I actually have that exact craftsman corded one and it's a real workhorse, especially for the price.
Thanks!
I have the Seekone and have been very impressed with it. I have used it for several different applications and it never fails.
Thanks for the feedback.
I sure hope cousin Eddie makes an appearance in this one haven't seen him in a while😂
Cooking a hot dog perhaps
He'll be back in action soon! Thank you!
@@ProjectFarmyour voice is worse than nails on a chalkboard
@@ProjectFarmhow is the warrior “better” than the cordless? Whats better?? Maybe hotter is t better
@@robs1873 So don't watch the video. Nobody forced you to push play.
Test absorbent mats like pig mats
Thank you for the video idea!
Always great testing and reviews. I’m a big fan of Bosch tools but I rarely see them covered 😢
Thanks!
A nice and hot test, lovet it. Thanks.
Thanks!
