02:25 - FlatSafe Storm Shelter is probably not a good idea for protection from hurricanes. Those storms often bring flooding. This shelter would then become a trap where people would drown. On the other hand, the shelter might be good for protection from tornadoes.
Garage inventions have always fascinated me. It’s where the magic of turning ideas into reality happens, often leading to breakthroughs no one expected.
Yes. No way would I climb in a hole for a hurricane. I've seen 11 inches of rain fall in an hour from a small tropical storm that popped up. No way would I want to be in a hole full of water and covered with debre.
I thought the same thing. These are actually better for tornados. Hurricanes you have several days of warning to get out of town. Not so much with tornados.
Only a year in to driving I knew the adage that women are better drivers to be false. Women CAUSE more accidents. It only appears that women are better drivers.
I know right?? Jeez and those with unlimited income lol I live in an apt would love to drive electric but no home charger ability that also a no ughhh lol
I have a small garage but I would definitely recommend the Rhino Ramps. Bought some a few years ago....no more jacking up for basic tune up...drive it up...good clearance for creeper or lying on a mat. Lent my dad them....had to go steal them back :).
Any gas cans in the garage so that the gas fumes settle into and collect in the pit, you get a slight spark down in there and...boom! I hope it has forced ventilation to clear out any fumes.
The creeper is pretty cool but it needs a "handbrake" so you can lock it in place when trying to remove a really tight bolt. Every one I've ever used, I ended up nullifying any leverage and just pushing (or pulling) myself around instead of breaking the bolt loose.
As a person who lives in Florida.... I believe putting people in a steel box underground during a hurricane, with no electricity, no cell service, winds that can blow your house down on top of you, and frequent flooding is a great way to save money on caskets. For freaks sake just evacuate or get to a shelter before the storm, you're safer that way.
2:26 Last place you want to be in a *hurricane* is BELOW GROUND LEVEL. Storm surge is a big problem, along with torrential down-pouring of rain causing flooding on it's own. That is a tornado bunker for inland areas and would be handy for car work too.
Flat safe shelter is a great idea except for anyone in the Gulf Coast or Florida. Flooding from hurricanes is very common not only from the storm surges but from the rain.
Yeah... They didn't think that one through... Huh?!?! Not to mention the water table level....You dig a whole like that, it'll just become an indoor pool.... Hence, no basements in Florida....
That thing’s a death trap. Many storms, hurricane or otherwise, can bring small to large scale flooding. Not to mention fallen trees and/or debris piled atop of it. No thanks.
@@GT-fi4sk Oh, yeah. Good point! Your only hope there would be that someone you know would look for you after the storm, and before you run out of water, or air. Yikes!
That parking survey must have been surveying women from another dimension. The women I have either known or seen can't park worth a crap. Just a short view of videos on RUclips will amply demonstrate that fact.
2:25 Hurricanes, no. tornados, yes. Except for that time your house decides to collapse right on top of it and your whole family is trapped. Exterior shelters are much safer.
probably just lost in translation, the company making them would probably not promote that they are hurricane shelters, but throw that in a english to chinese translator, and back again to english a few times and whoever reads the scripts wouldnt really know what was meant.
Public Safety Note on the "FLATSAFE STORM SHELTER": In the example given for protection from a Hurricane: Try not to drown. Unless that "underground" shelter is above the water line, you'll be sentencing yourself to an early grave.
The unconventional car lift is an adaptation of the old Massy Ferguson tractor field lift. Cool adaptation. How it’s oriented will affect which set of tires you can access.
At 1:05 this video, the lift should have the edges on the floor rounded to prevent the large gauges on the floor. But, all that massive amount of steel has to be extremely heavy. How do you easily move it? Where do you store something that big? The safety system? No clue on that one.
1st one, better at parking by what metric? From what i remember (may have been some other study) woman park more "in the middle", but they also have mroe insurace claims from hitting something when parking.
that shelter looks dangerous...what if some heavy piece of debris, like the garage falling down, blocks your only exit? There should be at least 2 ways out or something to bypass that debris. Or install it in your backyard where being blocked is less likely.
Not a safe idea, if a hurricane would hit 🌀🌊 um wouldn't there be a chance of flooding?. I mean you are in a hole in the ground// garage and like you said debris cover it then what?!
@@jeffharper7579 Ya it's risky no matter what, but not sure about flooding, I guess it depends on where you live...but they can get out if water starts to build up. Still where do you go in the middle of 200 kph winds with heavy junk flying everywhere? Best to skip town before the hurricane hits. I'm lucky not to have to worry about it here in Ontario. Though we did have major flooding in some parts of Canada recently like in BC.
@@brianshorey you should tell the manufacturer that. I already know that. Doesn't change the fact that it can be used as a pit to work on your car JFC.
i worked on so many jag V12s, (on some the chain even ended up wearing holes on the timing covers !!!) that just the sight of that mockup makes me sick lol
Down here in Florida when you dig a hole that deep(hurricane shelter) you often hit water. Next issue, Even if you don't get flooded from the storm surge, flash flooding from the rain of the hurricane often floods many homes. And yes, we do get a few hurricanes here and there in sunny Florida.
For those of you hiding in the oil change pit during a Hurricane. you might want to research the amount of flooding that is usually associated with hurricanes
The box hangers in garage start at 479? Hmmm, I’m thinking literally 6 2x4s (4 would do fine too) and 4 or 6 2x1 strips and you could fashion the exact same type of rail system for a mere $30-40 bucks depending on wood prices and some bolts. There. Just saved everyone 430 bucks. Feel free to send me check for difference.
@8:10 Why not use the LEDs that are abundantly Cheap that do exactly the same job? I built a "Tron" bike & the lights were better & so very easy to use, not to mention how cheap they are, OK the quality may not be quite as good, but FFS they cost Nothing.
They make oil changes go a lot faster for me. 15 minutes with the ramps, versus about 45 minutes when I'm jacking it up and setting the stands. I got the 12k set. Works great for my cars and CUV. My 3/4ton Suburban is a bit on the heavy side for them, they flex some with it on them, but hold so far.
ok, first one, buy one of those recycled tire garden pavers and some 3m mounting tape, park your car meticulously and then mount the tile to the floor, when parking you will feel the bump, and if you cant then cut it in half and double it up, do both front tires for additional feel.
I'm not crawling in a hole in the garage floor when there is a hurricane coming with possible storm surge. Might get really ugly if your cars get pushed onto the door and you cant get out.
I have Rhino Ramps, though u wouldn't say they're good for vehicles with low ground clearance. They work fine for my SUV but my stock convertible is too low for them.
That shelter is a bad idea. A. If it isn’t water tight, you’ll drown as hurricanes are accompanied by flooding. B. Should the garage collapse on top of it, you’ll be trapped.
@8:10 You could do this for very little money if you are prepared to do a little work, I have actually done this with manual lifting & it is incredibly useful & incredibly easy if you use the right gear, the more wheels the better, but it's basic physics most can sort it out at very cheap money.
I have the Rhino and tried it with my 2004 Corvette, drove right off the front of it, also, you lose feel of position, because they are too narrow for today's wide tires. Chucked them, and got a hydraulic lift with jack stands. Thanks. I would like to find an electric pump for removing oil through the dip stick. It just seems so prehistoric to be crawling under cars after all these years of innovations. Thanks.
those garage storm shelters are stupid heres why first a car parked over it so you have to move it what if you cant find your car keys in time.. another thing if the house falls on it you wont be able to push off the debrey your screwed its your tomb you need a structure with hydraulic rams back up battery and generator and far from any structure or tree in a feild then youll be safe
@1:05 Sheet steel/thick rubber mats & a chain fix properly to the floor, 2 would be better, that's a nice easy solution to a problem that all home mechanics have, much better & easier than most, well done that man
That motorcycle mover looks like a pain in the ass. Its not that hard to roll a bike close to where you want it and drag the rear end over to where you want it. Who has this many bikes that they need this gizmo?

Anyone who has ever been through a Hurricane, let alone a flood, sees the shelter and is like: "Have fun in your new inground swimming pool~"
Yes. No way would I climb in a hole for a hurricane. I've seen 11 inches of rain fall in an hour from a small tropical storm that popped up. No way would I want to be in a hole full of water and covered with debre.

“Women are better at parking than men”. The study was probably performed by the same people who can’t define a woman.
Fax 1000%% .
Or the study was done by women.
The woke nutters probably.
They lead with that, should have moved on from this video because it’s obviously misinformation
Only a year in to driving I knew the adage that women are better drivers to be false. Women CAUSE more accidents. It only appears that women are better drivers.
The shelter system are useful for 🌪️ tornados, hurricanes with possible flooding not so much 🌊
Also, hope you don't get trapped down there by debri over the door.
@@Nuck-Fo0bZz very true 😬
Easy to connect a draining system
@@kimhyrland1666 I don't know of any draining system in the world that can cope with 6-18 feet of storm surge.
The underground shelter would be good for a tornado, but definitely NOT a hurricane.
😀
And then the car or house debris shifts over your exit and you’re now in your coffin.
Flooding!!!!
Quite rite... Flooding not good if you're underground.
Exactly, you would drown in a hurricane, ...first thing that came to mind as a FL resident.
I love these people who have garages the size of a stadium! I can barely get my car in mine, let alone the junk from the entire neighbourhood.
Yeah! I agree.
I know right?? Jeez and those with unlimited income lol I live in an apt would love to drive electric but no home charger ability that also a no ughhh lol

Ceilings must be 12 feet (almost 4 metres).
Which just goes to show the coolest garage invention you can get is actually just a bigger garage!
Any gas cans in the garage so that the gas fumes settle into and collect in the pit, you get a slight spark down in there and...boom! I hope it has forced ventilation to clear out any fumes.
I love how the size of those garages are bigger than the floor space of my house!
The creeper is pretty cool but it needs a "handbrake" so you can lock it in place when trying to remove a really tight bolt. Every one I've ever used, I ended up nullifying any leverage and just pushing (or pulling) myself around instead of breaking the bolt loose.
The non swiveling casters do that for you.
That beam car lift thing is extremely dangerous.

Where can the "Air Bag Floor Jack" can be found for purchase?
Amazon has a variety of these on their website, for $110 and up.
At last there's a real use for Jaguar engines.
What is the brand name of that pneumatic jack ?
Tks....

If you ask me, they're far more suited for tornadoes.

$5,500.00 for an engine coffee table. Revolves counter-clockwise. Priceless. (Some motors do turn counter-clockwise ie: boats, Honda cars.)
Own the rhino ramps. They work well, but could use more clearance.
1:17 The guy clearly has a powered switch in his hand
I love This chanel..
Those are the most idiotic hurricane shelters. Do they realize that underground is for tornadoes?!?
Go underground in a hurricane and drown... 😳
probably just lost in translation, the company making them would probably not promote that they are hurricane shelters, but throw that in a english to chinese translator, and back again to english a few times and whoever reads the scripts wouldnt really know what was meant.
I like the drowning pit, I mean Hurricaine shelter...

Pretty cool gadgets
the in-ground storm shelter is great til a storm surge covers you in there for 8 hrs with 4' of water. should be renamed "storm coffin"
Wow, sliding ceiling bins, you have to use a ladder to access the heavy bins. How sadistic.
You can drive in at an angle of 17 degrees?
What kind of vehicle are you driving?
Coolest thing was definitely Steve McQueen at 00:26
I like the pneumatic jack
Very beautiful and informative, as always💙🙏
I like the drowning pit the best!
Great videos and comments guys, here, have my like
Love my Rhino Ramps!
The under ground shelter is Not a good idea, storm surge waters will fill it up in seconds.
Not if you live at the top of a hill
That's what I thought
this would only happen if they're below a flood plane
Also what if garage collapses and falls on top of the door? Ur blocked now
That's not for hurricanes as they would drown. It is for tornadoes and would work well. Cheers

hurricane shelter underground where flooding is common lol
Some really great designs, but their price tags will keep them away from most people. Lucky that quite a few are very simple for the DIYers.
The airbag jack.....I must have one!

Yep I can see that car shifting over the entrance in a Tornado!
And use it for tornadoes but not hurricanes. Hurricanes bring flooding.
Pls do more stuff like that! Never miss the new uploads
During a hurricane, you don't want to be underground because of storm surge. Drowning in your storm shelter would be terrible.
Looks like that shelter could be used as a pit for working on the car
That was mentioned in the video :-)
Looks like that shelter would fill up with water during flooding from the hurricane killing the occupants easily
Pits are a violation of building codes in most places.

@3:20 You could make your own with a bit of "'C section' for a fraction of the price.
holy shit, hold my beer! an actual great product for the final....
I think for the storm shelter they meant tornado shelter not hurricane, nothing like drowning in a box of storm surge under your car!
I'm not crawling in a hole in the garage floor when there is a hurricane coming with possible storm surge. Might get really ugly if your cars get pushed onto the door and you cant get out.
