A video on safety equipment would be great!
Styrofoam gas engine
I always have to instantly watch when I get a notification from my favorite RUclipsr project farm!!!!
A video on hammers would be good.
the nut splitter has worked for me a lot of times. I have never actually fully split a nut. I let it get a good bite. Wack it with a hammer,, It has cracked a LOT of stuck bolts for me.
“Badly rounded bolt”
Thats.. thats a circle at this point
lol. Great point
I've definitely seen a few bolts that I thought/hoped were cap screws until I realized there was no hex/torx indent....
That thing is rounder then the Earth!
that's a threaded rivet
CJ duh the earth is flat dude.
I always thought the saying "you get what you pay for" is true but after watching this its changed my mind!
I think he's proven that isn't true many times ;)
The Taiwanese ones seen to be the ones to go for
@@jonnoMoto German neighbours told me of Taiwanese steel exports during the 1930's, seems like they have absolutely perfected the craft.
Often with tools you get what you pay for in the cheaper half of the market, and you are buying a name brand in the upper half of the market
Companies love for people to think that.
The effort this guy puts into his videos is crazy. Mad respect
Thanks!
agreed
Oh yeah? Monotone as hell
Between him and the T.T.C, they both have helped me put my money into some great tools that im very glad that i bought.
"Made in America with global components" that basically just means all the parts where made in china but the kit was assembled in America.
I agree with this person this is how American gets all the money
@Tony HD Happens a lot with imports from Vietnam and other nations near China. China builds it then ships it there where they slap a little piece on then say they assembled it so it avoids sanctions on China
Did a search on this which resulted in pages of confusing words as if written by a corporate lawyer
Imagine someone running a company using German parts reeing at your comment
I have ordered products directly from china that were stamped with "made in usa". I also worked in a manufacturing plant in nc where the products we made said "made in china" "...tiawan" and usa. Restaurants I worked at sold chinese and vietmanese fish as local.
awwww. you didnt test the best bolt extractor ever.. Oxy.acetylene
I use a flamethrower
Same effect
My go to. Damn near melted a stuck lugnut off the other day
That’s also a part extractor
🤣😄
This man spent more money on this test than the total amount on my switch lite. Gotta appreciate him for the sacrifice of his money.
Appreciate that!
Wtf is a switch lite? I hope I'm just getting old and you didn't buy the most expensive light switch ever made.
@@jaydunbar7538 it's the newest Nintendo, that my kids want.
I've installed $1k light switches. iPad pro to run your room, anyone? (Yeah, they get a little crazy in 20+ million dollar homes).
@@jaydunbar7538 It's the inferior version of the Nintendo Switch optimized for portability because too many people, in spite of the fact the Nintendo Switch is a bulky convertible hybrid games console, complained it was a bulky console. Due to its lack of a docking connector, there is no reason to use a dock and it is always running at "portable mode" clocks which means games for it suffer more being on a platform providing less port for the processor to crunch math and spit graphics.
Personally, I'd avoid it. Get a Gen1 switch and see if you can't use the RCM exploit to use some custom firmware. Then you can _really_ have some fun with it. Heard some kiddos figured out how to get Android running on it.
@@leftyeh6495 Man, rich people are crazy stupid.
“I never did find the missing piece, but it’s probably embedded in the wall or ceiling.” That is probably the most relatable phrase you’ve ever said.
Thanks for sharing.
@@flat-earther are you talking about the sparks from hitting it with the hammer?
@@flat-earther holly damn. So right
This is my go to guy for any and all things technical. Precise, intelligent, no B.S. to the point expert advice. He deserves over a million reviews.
Thanks!
Sir, I can honestly say that at no point have I ever needed to know the Information you provide. However; I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate what you do. One day this stuff may save me hundreds of dollars. I really appreciate you doing the people's work for us. Cheers for years to come!
Wow, thanks
I think about that every video I watch. Like. I know exactly the best tool to get for every job I’ve done and I learned a lot about oil lemme tell ya what. But you spend a large amount of money and time, so others don’t have to, and I greatly appreciate it. We all do.
*Honey* has never saved me money it has even lied that I was getting the best price & I never seen a coupon get applied to anything but it has a nice price tracker. yet this channel has saved me allot of money & headaches!
Well when the day comes where you come across a stripped bolt, you'll remember this and know which extractors to buy. I never thought I'd need this either, but after coming into 5 completely rounded bolts, I came here. I ended up getting the Rocket Socket and it worked flawlessly.
Always a fan of these videos. Thanks Todd
Nut splitter : what we called the crossbeam on a bicycle between the seat and the handle bar 😉
Did that once when i was in highschool. When i was standing upright on the bike pedalling up an inclimb, my foot accidentally slipped off pedal. I came down hard on the crossbeam on my sack, crushing it, causing me to stop and vomit onto the sidewalk. Biked home with an extremely sore and painful crotch. Stowed my bike in the shed and headed inside to check on the damage. Part of my white underwear were stained red. I had managed to break the skin on my testicles causing bleeding but no serious damage. Being a genius i then decided to disinfect with 99% isopropyl alcohol. I will never forget that pain. Right messed me up for the better part of 3 weeks. Good times.
@@nathandamaren2093 Excuse me, What the fuck! i felt that in my soul
@@nathandamaren2093 did you check with a doctor?
And people laugh at me for riding a girls bike. Lol
That’s great dude
"The budget for this video was $1000, which was enough to buy all of the other brands combined, or 5% of a Snap-On set."
Thanks for the feedback.
Snap-on has only one purpose, when a friend comes to visit, let him see it inadvertently.
@God Of God's I also work in a shop. The mechanics use Milwaukee impacts, snap on hand tools, Harbor freight tool chests(except one guy who has 2 huge snap on rolling chests lol). There are a couple snap on power tools like socket drivers
@@BenSwoloest That is shockingly close to the shop I work in and all my coworkers.
Hey Project Farm, I'm constantly impressed at the lengths you are willing to go to in testing these products! Love your videos!
Thanks!
If you look in Slowmo at 8.15 you can see that you crack the Irwing just by hammering at it.
You're totally correct! Good eye.
Yep on the reverse side for those of us staring at it!
you're right! Pause at 8:15
Great catch! It didn't take much to break it.
You're right and Irwin suggested that you can use an Impact drill on that socket... yeah I don't think so.
my favorite part of this video is that you moved along at a brisk, nice pace. nothing is worse than a long, sluggish video.
well done
Thanks!
This was an interestingly cool comparison of the many different types of tools available in today's market, for removing rusted fasteners! This was as diverse as really is the challenge of just the many different ways of approaching the problem. I'm glad I caught this video for some education on what is available currently. Thank you again!
You are welcome!
Thank you for the extensive tests that save us money! It's difficult to gauge build quality without using, so you putting this info out there for everyone is invaluable
You are welcome!
I bet this whole channel is just a ploy to get his wife to let him buy shop gadgets
lol. Nice!
I need to start a RUclips channel if that's the case. My wife gives me hell when I buy tools and gadgets 😂🤣
@@inkdreaper874 a tip: just remind her of her collection of shoes and boots
He lets RUclips buy them. That's why we need to find him more viewers :)
Well he is living the dream then!
*Man you are the best.*
The amount of effort you go through to make these videos is beyond amazing.
I appreciate that!
I appreciate that!
Really, this is the best channel ever for objectively testing tools.WELL DONE, SIR!
Thanks so much!
I give you my upmost respect. Not only do you do all this work and spend so much money but you also don’t want to be biased and get sponsors. Your videos are awesome man keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
This channel deserves a Medal in a National Science contest.
Wow! Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm agree ♥️♥️♥️
Sorry, those are reserved for shills like Nobel prize recipients and whatever joke of an “award” Israel greased Fauci $1M for.
It really does!!
No he doesn’t. He is comparing nut splitters and threaded nut removers. Two different tools for very different uses.
Rocket socket when they first introduced it in like the 90s had late-night infomercials that I used to watch as a little kid. I wanted them so bad even though I had no use for them.
Your videos are some of the most useful I’ve ever watched. The 17mm wheel bolts on my car are stripped at one wheel (bought used) & having watched this when you first posted it, I knew right where to go for my solution. 🤙
Thanks! Glad you found the videos useful!
You are the most professional & comprehensive testing channel on RUclips... Cheers🎗

Todd, yes, I'm having some fun, at your expense.
But, you make Mondays worthwhile for me. LOVE

“Channel Lock” as well as “Vise Grip” are brand names. They both make and brand the same design. I have a set of “vise grips” made by “Channel Lock”. If you want to be “old school” and name the tool by it’s manufacturer, then that is your choice, but not the only choice.
Channel Lock changed their name from Champion due to the success of their 'channel-lock slip joint pliers. Vice Grip is the original locking pliers. Like Kleenex and Velcro, the original is synonymous with the tool. Clearly we all know what channel lock pliers are, and what vice grips are. It's not jusy a brand name
@@paulcopeland9035 a Channel Lock though is this: images.homedepot-static.com/productImages/79fa0246-8cd4-43b4-8898-1e3a599fe4eb/svn/channellock-all-trades-tongue-groove-pliers-440-64_1000.jpg and it's called that due to it's channels to lock the size in. Technically, "Vice Grips" are "Locking Pliers." But, it is true that Channel Lock and Vice Grips are brand names. Just, when someone says "Pass me the channel locks" you don't expect them to toss you a set of locking pliers.
@@paulcopeland9035 "
“Channel Lock” as well as “Vise Grip” are brand names." Yes, and the colloquial use of the terms refers to two completely different tools. He would look just as silly if he'd said "how many people have used a channel lock.." while holding up a Channellock brand screwdriver. Also the vise grips he's holding aren't even channellock brand.

I'd love to see an induction heater vs. torch vs. penetrating oil
Great test idea! Thanks
@@ProjectFarm No problem! I just recently bought an induction heater and it seems to do very well
@@ethanlomshek6778 great idea dude. Id love to see that!
I need an induction heater bad.
Got one at work and nothin beats it.
Pops mentioned he saw some Homebrew diy one which might be worth a try, those damn things are pricey.
Don't forget oxyacetylene and map gas in the mix too! (Southern/inland USA is confused as they read this comment thread)
I've had a Lisle stud extractor/installer for close to 30 years. it's held up very well and most of the time the large diameter isn't an issue. Great comparisons!
Thanks for the feedback.
I really enjoy your channel! Keep up the good work!
I have to say my Craftsmans version of the spiral fluted I bought 20 years ago is still going strong! I've definitely got my moneys worth out of them. I'm glad to know that there other brands out just in case mine might fail. Thank you!
Thanks, will do!
No one gonna talk about how the Irwin and Snap on sets are *identical* and Snap on set is damn near $200 more expensive...
I suspect the Snap-On tool has much better heat treatment and possibly a better grade of steel, but they were likely made in the same place by the same machines. The Snap-On guy will also drive out and bring you a new one if you manage to break it, that's the real reason for the difference in price.
@@Hawk013 still a scam, no matter how you describe it.
@@Hawk013 you might want to check with your snapon guy because I found out that snapon allowed their name to be place on regular commercial items for a period of time and will not hold their warranty to those items. I found out the hard way.
Like I said in another reply.... made by Aliens with off planet materials.
@@Hawk013 I can have the UPS guy here with an Irwin bolt remover in a day and a half.... and I'm still saving a ton of money. If the Snap-On truck can beat that I'd be floored.
That said, I'm not a professional, time is not money, and a broken tool is usually only a minor inconvenience for me.
This is the most no-frills, down-to-earth, channel on RUclips. Thank you for all your content. You’re the reason why people can have nice things!
Just bought the rocketsocket 13pc set for only one project. 2000 4runner lower ball joint. I live in Michigan where rust is terrible. I had replaced one side a few weeks ago when it popped out in my driveway. I ended up having to drill out two of the four bolts and it was to say the least not fun. I was able to move my 4runner out of the middle of the driveway and order the ball joint for the other side. At the same time I also ordered the rocketsocket set. Two days later I did the job. Having this set saved me about an hour or so of laying on my back, trying to drill up. Thanks for the video. Best 65 bucks I've spent in a wile. Thanks again. Love your honest and informative videos.
Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
Coming back to this video two years later to give a recommendation for those Rocket Sockets. I love them. They really grip well and have held up to a lot of use. So glad I purchased them based on their performance in this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Oh and just to point out....3k viewers in 11 minutes.... Easily the most trusted and best RUclips channel ever!
Thank you very much!
For sure! And the best comments. There’s never any negative or crap talking. Everyone tries helping eachother and comes up with new ideas. Good community here
1500 comments in 3 hours.... amazing!
I have a craftsman set of those reverse spiral sockets, they're amazing, got me out a lot of issues
angle grinder always worked for me
I have the same Craftsman set, been about 8 years , it's great! I have a bluepoint one also and have had to replace it several times now.
Blue point= read cheaper snap on.
I don't even try a normal socket on flange head bolts that have been exposed to corrosion, straight in with reverse spiral damaged socket, I have an Irwin set but found a very cheap chinese works better.
My only issue is I loose the kit half the time
I needed to come back and comment because I ended up needing a set of extractors for a safe installation.
I ended ip buying the amartison due to the average performance for the cost, and man am I glad i did.
dang thing bit into the bolt and ripped it right out with no struggle.
thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Love watching these head-to-head style reviews/product test videos 👍🏻
Thanks!
A channel where you can first “Like” the video then watch it! Keep up the great videos!
You're the best! Thank you!!
Exactly, i do the same, too. Just to prevent that i forgot to like it or youtube skips to the next
I'm glad you weren't injured with the part failure!
Thank you very much! I've never had a tool explode with such great force!
you are by far my favorite and best reviewer i have seen!!!!!!!!!!! love the data and methodical testing
I purchased the Luckyway set based off this review, at $25.50, which is nice to see it is cheaper 2 1/2 years later then it was when the video was made. I thought they seemed very close to the Rocketsocket, but much better price, and slightly more compact then the Amartison. Thank you! Very well produced, as always!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Test some oil filter tools! They never tighten in the space available and slip if theres oil on the cartridge. Thanks for the video!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
You should never be using a oil filter wrench to tighten a filter only to remove it.
@@MasterDreadnought89 They're talking about the filter tools that apply clamping force as you remove the filter. The harder you unscrew the tighter it clamps.
Project Farm Yes! An oil filter wrench would be great! I did a oil change on my dad’s Silverado and pondered on what type of filter wrench to use. Yes please!
Kirby Voss the strap wrenches are best
Here is this guy living my dream lol. Getting to test tools and many other things I love to see tested with a great presentation. Been following since the beginning of the channel. Glad you have been so successful on the platform. Kind of surprised you haven’t been approached by a larger entity for a show. Thanks as always from a trucker who lives vicariously through my phone after long days and months in seclusion.
Thanks for being a beginning and continued viewer!
Thanks Project Farm, this is an informative and comprehensive test. as im struggling with a chevy k3500 front brake hub bolt 15mm rounded (by me with a double hex spanner) im now searching bolt removers and your AWESOME video came up. after watching it, instant like. Thanks for the great comparison and fantastic review. Love from Sydney Australia
Thanks and you are welcome!
I watch your reviews on pretty much whatever tool I'm considering purchasing. Love that you put the measurables out there instead of all those "eye tests"
Thanks for the feedback.
I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. This is really one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Thank you.
I'd really appreciate if you'd review windshield wiper fluid!
Some say they remove bug guts or bead water, others are almost like water and others are more like antifreeze in thickness.
RYAN SEACREST she said fluid
if you care for your cars paint, use only water as washer fluids leave a water streak/stain on your body panels and only come off if you buff the car
RainX washer fluids are hands down the best. Orange is for general cleaning and ice melt green is general cleaning and bug remover. Either one is only $5 a gallon and work better than any other windshield washer fluid out there. Source? 25+ years of driving all around North America in all types of climates, environments, and different levels of filthy, buggy, and freezing conditions.
@@TheMattc999 I tried that RainX orange stuff several years ago. I didn't personally care for it. It left orange stains in my white paint and while the RainX properties did work, over time I ended up with a thick film around the area where the wipers wiped. I ended up having to use a buffer and glass polish to get it off. That's when I went back to the regular ol' blue stuff. Honestly, I was disappointed because I've used the traditional RainX products for years and never had issues with them.
This. Not just their ability to clean the windshield but also protect it from stuff sticking on it. I've seen some wiper fluid advertised even as being suitable for rally driving, I'm curious how well it would actually protect from dirt/dust sticking.
I like your no BS straight to the point style of videos, it might seem boring to some but it's definitely the fastest way to get helpful information
Thanks!
I bought the "Amartisan" extractor set on Amazon after watching this video and they work perfectly. Thanks again for such great reviews.
You are welcome!
I'm never going to buy one of these but was happy to spend 15 min of my life watching the video.
And then another 15 reading the comments !
You never know!
@@moltderenou Same here, I enjoy reading comments.
A video on safety glasses would be great, test scratch resistance, high drop impact resistance, shoot em with a modified air nailer.
I always LOVE the little snicker he gives when he mentions the outrageously priced items.
Thanks for watching!
Needed a stud remover for removing some seized studs in a motorcycle head I knew that I didn’t want to waste money so I watched this and bought the ABN set and it worked perfectly and removed the studs. Paid for itself already I trust this guy and bought several tools based on his recommendations and never been disappointed.
Legendary.
Thanks for sharing.
DIGITAL CALIPERS! I'd love to see a video about Digital Calipers and whether or not the cheapos for $10-20 on Amazon beat out or meet the $125 Mitutoyo. Even compare dial to digital!
Good call! Starrett all the way for me for dial, with you for the digital for beginners.
@@spartan8390 or Brown and Sharp
Thanks for the video idea.
I have a set of iGauging ones that have done well.
Oh man measuring caliper tolerances with micrometer standards and optical comparitors would be hilarious and overkill, but the kind of overpriced crazy that I'd love to watch.
I'm a simple man. I see that Project Farm uploads a video, I watch it, and click like, just as every one else should.
Thank you very much!
I know I've said it before but man you do such a great job here with these comparison's. All the right information, no fluff, straight to the point results we can see for ourselves to make up our own minds where to put our hard earned $ to make more hard earned money to buy yet more tools!!😂😂
I thank you sir!! 🙌
Thanks and you are welcome!
I just ordered a set of the Amartisan extractors. Thanks for doing what you do.
You are welcome!
Anyone else flinch every time he said “nut splitter?”
Andre Montik so many times
Your nuts, that is so funny. Ouch!
Andre Montik LOL! Nice
I twitched
Another word for a nut splitter is “wife”
I bought a set of craftsman reverse spiral fluted bolt removers years ago and never looked back. I used them initially on an oil pan bolt that gave me a ton of trouble. It came out like butter with the tool. Then I made the boneheaded mistake of driving off with the key to a set of locking lugnuts still in the lug nut which was perfectly round hardened steel polished to a mirror. The tool took it right off. I love the reverse spiral fluted design and will buy again if something happens to the set i have. Definitely a tool that you don't need often but when you do they are invaluable.
Great feedback! Thank you
I have a set of old Craftmans too... about 15yrs old. Tough suckers!
Can confirm. absolute lifesaver.
Unfortunately Craftsman isn't what it used to be. Some of their current tools look like they came from a parking lot truck sale.
John Ridley I just got a new set of smaller pliers. First thing I did was try to cut old hay wire with the side cutters and they snapped right away. Sure is sad that sears kicked the bucket because black and decker can’t make a good tool.
Great! Suffering in the Northeast with rusty bolts, Ordered the USA made Rocketsocket immediately. Thanks.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Hey project farm just wanted to thank you for what you do. Came back to this video because I needed a set of good nut removers to do a seized up set of lugnuts. I'm buying the amartisan set, if theres a project that will destroy it this is it. I'll update if anyone is interested.
You are welcome!
Those channel locks look exactly like my vice grips. By the way, your tests have saved me thousands on tools. Thank you. I'm gonna het a set of rocket sockets.
Great to hear!
Lol another guy said channel locks also in comments
Thousands? Really? You must buy a LOTTA tools.
Just ordered a set of the rocket sockets after watching this video. Great performance at a decent price made in the US sold!
@@donellmuniz590 I do
As usual, a great test with real life considerations such as tool diameter.
Thanks for the time and effort.
You are welcome!
Always love your videos, when I'm bored I always go to these videos.
I got the rocket socket based on your video, and those things WORK. Took a completely rounded lug nut off my wheel stud with only a 15" breaker bar.
Thanks for sharing.
"Made in the USA from globally sourced components" = we bought the sockets and case from China, then we "made" it in the USA by putting the sockets in the case and shrink wrapping it... smdh
Yeah there is European "made" stuff like that too
People want cheap but they don't want cheap quality...can't have one with the other unfortunately
Mark: Nothing counts, by Federal regulation, for "Made In USA" except the actual product. The Federal Trade Commission busts companies all the time for violating this. Time to log into FTC.com and see what foreign components means. It's hard to believe I know but maybe some company is trying to cheat.
As ImaEtech said there are actually laws/policies regarding what percentage or amount of work constitutes being Made in the USA.
Sad, but true!
At that price I was expecting it to say "Made in Switzerland"
lol. Very expensive!
SnapOn ...... made by Aliens with off planet materials... lmao
Had 4 bolts rusted into back of cargo van floor brackets i had to cut off because i could never get them out until i seen this video. Bought the Dewill stud extractor, got it last night and removed all 4 cut off bolts 5 minutes ago. Thank you for the videos.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Gotta say, you are the best. Thank you for the insane amount of quality content.
Thanks so much!
This was not a real world test. No penetrate, torches, or cursing was involved !!!
haha too true!
If it's not lubed with my blood I figure I haven't tried hard enough. Sometimes I have to use tears too.
Next Project Farm test: effectiveness of a variety of epithets. (Personally I prefer ones formed from sets of four letter words, somewhat like German words. 12 letter words seem most efficient to me. There isn't often room to use a 16 letter word.)
Oh and for a RUclipsr with over 1.2 million subscribers to constantly keep up with, like/respond to comments is rare. Phenomenal job brother.
Thanks so much!
the value of this channel cannot be overstated to consumers like me! Thanks!
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Been watching videos from project farm for a couple years. Always a good watch. Did my first comment yesterday.
Awesome! Thank you!
My dads ex wife was the best nut remover ive ever seen... removed not just his nuts but also his house, dignity and half of his paycheck.
I can never stress enough how important a prenup is
Mom sounds like a real peach
but is too large to fit most situations
lmfao i have no clue who you or your dad are... but i want you to let him know Prenup's are a thing and they have been saving dudes asses from listening to the the wrong head for ages. and if she wont sign a prenup do not marry her. my friends dad got married to this woman and the girl said she wasn't signing the prenup because if he really loves her, then her word should be enough, and he dosnt see her making him sign a prenup.... he looked that girl dead in the eyes and said, you have been a stay at home mom for the last 8 years we been together i cant even think of a single thing i could try and take from you that you had before we got together.. im being 100% serious you have 3 options 1, sign it 2, we dont ever get married and you will still have to sign a form of a prenup anyway or 3, find someone else and hope that man dosnt have a brain. she paused and stared at him then she fucking signed that shit right then and there lmfao i busted out laughing so hard i was crying, she gave me the most pissed (stfu or ill strangle you) glare ive ever seen i swear to god i lost a few years off my life from it. my buddies dad saw me laughing and busted out himself and when she saw that she stormed off not saying a word, i looked at him and said that was the most bad ass/funniest thing ive ever seen. he says to me, son when it comes to marriage never listen to the wrong head idc how good she looks. if you dont sign a prenup the only thing that you will get is knowing that the next girl will be signing a prenup. i thought to myself those are some good words to live by right there
Help, my dad is a simp
Rocketsocket offers free shipping on its website and it seems it also applies to Canada! This one goes directly on my wishlist :)
Thanks for the great video as always
Thank you very much!
Good to know, I try to avoid amazon if I can get it somewhere else for the same price.
Rocketsocket seems to be a great competitor to snap-on!
Thanks for the heads up,
I really love this channel. Super relaxing to watch. Brilliant.
Thank you very much!
I appreciate the links to the tools in the description!
Thanks!
"badly rounded bolts"
To be honest it looks like you did an excellent job rounding those off.
Thanks!
Thank you for testing and spending your money. This saves us viewers time and money also.
You are welcome!
I bought a couple of Metrinch socket and wrench kits to put in my vehicles over 20 years ago. They work very well on stripped heads. Plus they're just handy. As an old wrench turner, I highly recommend them.
Thanks for sharing.
It would be neat to see a brake fluid test of different brands of DOT 4. I’m sure you could come up with super clever ways to test 👍
Great suggestion! Thank you.
Why dot4? Seems like a niche market when everything is rated for 3 or 5, not 4.
@@leftyeh6495 resistance To heat , DOT 4 resist more heat than 3. You will see DOT 4 fluid used in high performance cars, and most motorcycle now.
I would like to see the results compared to DOT 5.
Lefty eh I think you’re thinking of DOT 5. The silicone based brake fluid
I like how he reads almost all the comments
Except yours lol
Nice try
@@Thilges1990 Lol
Well he can't get as all of them
And again you gave me some great insight into the very best tool your videos are by far the best on the internet and thank you.
You are welcome!
Another great video! You are my go to before I buy anything.
I'd like to see a review on rivnut/rivet nut setter tool.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I would hold irwin to their tool breaking. for 100 bucks and a reputable brand, the tool shouldnt break, especially when hammering it down on a nut isnt improper use.
As suggested in the video, and reported elsewhere, the Irwin is identical to the Snap-On. As he said in the video, he thinks he was a little bit overenthusiastic with the hammer. These type of extractors are very hard, and thus very brittle. It probably wasn't the tool's fault. You shouldn't use more than light tapping to get these started. The spiral cut will pull the tool down as you rotate as long as you get a little bit of grip. Hitting this type of extremely hard, almost ceramic-like steel too hard will cause it to crack, and as seen, break under torque.
That said, a couple other tools did a really good job at a much lower cost. The rocket socket in particular seems to be a good value for the money.
@@puckcat22679 On the other hand the Irwin is listed on Irwin's website (I just checked) as for use with impact wrenches, so it should have some toughness.
@@puckcat22679 On the other hand heavy hammering on Chinese product seems to work well...
@@puckcat22679 Don't simp. Irwins should be better than Chinesium, not worse.
I bought a set a few years ago and they've been great. Removed everything I've thrown at them including a couple of rounded off lug nuts. Nothing has broke or been damaged so far. Not sure if the quality has went downhill in recent years though. But if you find an older set for a good price I'd definitely recommend them.
I was waiting for that Delco torque measuring device to break.
Thank you. I have been struggling with a rusted shut oil drain plug for the past week.
You are welcome!
I love the rocketsocket set ...1/4 drive set worked great for those tight areas and really does the job !
Thanks for sharing.
"who hasn't used a pair of Channel locks dealing with a stuck nut or bolt?" (holds up Vice Grips) Just messin with ya! I
beat me by 2 hours :)
Thanks for watching!
@@ProjectFarm Todd, gonna have to do a Vice Grip challenge now. Methinks you'll have two sets of contenders. 1.) The "Chineseium" tools that don't work and 2.) IRWIN, proving that if you throw enough Chinese steel at a tool, it will perform as well as "Dad's" tools from 50 years ago. Gotta throw an old-school Made in 'Murica Vice-Grips in the mix.
@@MrRaab-hu9rs no, the vintage Irwin Pedersen made vice grips were way better than the current chineseium vise grips. They take use and abuse way better and the teeth stay sharp longer. Sad to see what an awesome brand has become
@@jrotcelite I came into a pair of the good old ones when I bought my house. Previous owner was a lovely old lady who's husband had died a decade earlier, so she left his workshop to me.. So happy to have them.
Irwin: can be used with impact tools
Also Irwin: shattered
Thanks for sharing.
I was deciding between the Rocketsocket and the Irwin. I'm taking the Rocketsocket
That actually surprised me, I have a Irwin set and haven't had a problem with it yet.
How can you make a socket in the USA with global components? Are they buying Chinese metal?
@@ProjectFarm you should've upload this video for No Nut November 🤣 that thumbnail got me twisted
I have a rounded lug nut preventing me from rotating my tires. Thanks for this test!!
You are welcome!
Was just about to buy the Amartisan from Amazon, and then saw this video. Glad I saw this.
Thanks!
Let's be real! Nobody has ever rounded a bolt in a spot that's accessible. Hell I usually round bolts that I can't even see.
I have, but with an impact. no way could I do that by hand!
same here !
Excellent point, and very true!
@@jnimitzch4738 And then your next two weekends are gone.
When you apply so much torque in a confined spot thinking you're going to make it when all of the sudden: "SLIPP"
Mom: why are you watching some guy test rounded bolt removers?
Me: My goals are beyond your understanding
Thank you. Just saw this. I offered Rocket Socket and ABN extractors between watching the 1st and 2nd times I had to figure out that you're probably suggesting Rocket Socket over The yellow kit because it's American made. I put the 3x $$$ of money where my mouth is and ponied up the extra for American made. I like your tests.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Seems as though all the stud removers failed as they failed to remove the ultimate stud Project Farm from the video. Keep up the amazing work sir! I look forward to your videos every week and always going back and watching your old stuff. Best review channel for tools I've ever come across.
Thanks, will do!
Hands Down this is my Favorite tool review/test channel. Head and shoulders above the rest.
Wow, thanks!
Its great but... Is head and shoulders really a good thing? If you had an accident and had to amputate all 4 limbs youd still have head and shoulders - knees and toes would be what you wished for.
This channel is knees and toes above.
Best tool review channel. We're going to test that
as Hank Hill would say: "Damn it Dale you stripped the bolt!"
"Dang it, Dale!" "I'm worried that we are putting excess stress on a structure that wasn't built to code to start with." (Some of the best writing ever on TV.)
Thank you for this video! My vice grips were not getting the job done and I needed some ideas.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I've had those rocket sockets for a couple of months. They work like a champ in my mechanic shop.
Glad to hear!
