Angelina and Sandro are this channel. Love them both so much.
For real. Those 2 make me click every time. But the other dudes sittin with em make me laugh too. 🤣
Im starting to like steph quite a bit too.
and the new gurl is there too!!!
brooo the brak avatar!
Yeah steph is better with Sandro then angelina... idk who I'd bang first though...
I see Sandro. I click. I just need Sandro in the thumbnails.
You were born with testicles bruh…
Yeah
Realest comment I’ve seen😂💯
stolen comment
I'm cool with Angelina being in the thumbnails too ;)
73 Y old mechanic here. The first car I ever worked on was a 54 Chevy Belair. My dad broke it and said if I can fix it I can drive it. The problem was a broken u joint. I was 18. I rolled it down the hill of our drive into the street. I pushed it to get it rolling and ran it up on the curb. It had an enclosed drive shaft. I laid in the gutter and fixed that u joint. He didn't tell me it had a bad starter. No tool I had could get to the back starter mounting bolt. I took a 1/2" boxed wrench and sledged hammered it into a curve to get to that bolt. Mom said Ramond (my Dad god rest his sole) Was laughing while he watched me out the window. "He really wants to drive that car." That's what started me into wrenching. And yes I still have that wrench. Love you guys and girls keep them coming.
neat!
great story man
Great story, thanks for sharing.
I am only 57 but got my start the same way, mine was a 71 Duster no start. I learned wiring and what a ballast resistor was, gota love then old Dodges everyone had a spare in the glove box lol. Fused links and soldiering wires, how hot solider can be on skin. I got hired as an apprentice just because I would do wire jobs under dashes and tight small spaces. My first year I must have installed 500 radios.. After none came back I got stuck with every wiring job that came in. Then the 90's came and everything went ECU controlled man I made a killing as I was into computers. At one point our shop was getting cars towed in from other shops for me to fix.
I have a small tool box full of home made tools after 40 years 9-5ing it most only ever used once, but I have it if I never need it again.
52yo and I have had many $500 cars. Always fixed in the driveway with whatever tools and parts I could cobble together because I was poor.
I still do my own work mostly, but with better tools and youtube videos. 😊
Sandro will forever be one of my favorite people. Angelina has grown on me as she has gotten more comfortable. She came in trying to just be a teacher (since that is her normal job I think) and not showing too much personality but now she is growing into it and its great. Steph seems great as well still new but she seems more comfortable on camera for being new than most people.
Hate to break it to you, bro, but if Miss A had to grow on you, you into dudes...
@@aranmurphy1 ooooor maybe they think "hot" and "smart/interesting/a good youtube video guest" are separate things???
I get you. Angie's always been knowledgable but now that she's settled in, she's found her groove. I particularly like when she and Sandro have the wrenching angel(ina) and devil on the shoulder dynamic, they're so good together in studio.
@@aranmurphy1 Are you single?
@aranmurphy1 I can almost guarantee Angelina is a lesbian, which sucks. She’s cute as hell.
I love Sandro's honesty with the radiator burns. "How do YOU know that?" Sandro:"I ****ed up."
For real 😂😂😂
Fucking legend
That got me 😂
time stamp ?
14:47 @@PhilippevanHeek
How is Sandro so f’ing COOL lmao
Dude just exudes charisma.
Was fun to see him flustered tho!
The man is certainly at the top of his game.
100% and he is able to bounce off of anyone, though I personally prefer him and Angelina as she's pretty much same, charismatic, knows what she is talking about and proper nut case, with the addition of pedagogical experience, so she's able to simplify things for us who are not that car savvy ^^'
It’s called being a normal human being male lol
Fr. Cooler than the other side of a cucumber pillow
Angelina and Sandro, Instant watch. Steph is on the come up. Glad they all are in a single video. Soon, this'll be a channel with super charismatic mechanics. The dream!
“If your beard can’t connect neither can we” SHOTS FIRED!
🤣"Wherever she is she's mad"🤣 Sandro kills me!
he knew lmao
lol he knows she's not cool with a hyna co-host
He is going to get a sandal upside the head when he gets home 🤣🤣
I think the joke he was making was that he doesn't *have* a wife, lol. But I could be wrong
Ang and Sandro are the #1 reason I watch this
Me too.
i love them both but i also like it when they got someone whose not really jokes and just seen a coupla decades of shit. it's fun to see the difference in perspective/reaction.
Me too fo realz
For the boys my dude
They got me to follow both of them on IG even though I don't even actively use it, just to get that +1 for em haha
15:33 sandro smooth with that line. Also him hiding after he said his wife will be angry is too good.
Its amazing how much Angelina actually knows. The little intricacies that make the difference are what separates the professionals from the rest
we've all been there with one of those 10 minute jobs that turns into an hour due to a seized and or sheared bolt
Replacing any blower motor ever 😭
Hell I don't even work on cars and I've been there. Some old bolt near a wall. d
Don't remember the specifics, but it was related to a lift pump. I was a lot younger and not at all handy yet, and my parents only had hand tools. I think after many rounds of WD-40, putting a screwdriver into the box end of a wrench just to get a better grip is what did the trick.
it would be so nice if monkeys would start using torque wrenches once in a while instead of muscle memory
The amount of times I've been slumped up against the wall, covered in grease and oil, wondering why I didn't take up knitting as a hobby instead, is too many too count.
Couldn't get a steel fuel line to come apart to get it out of my way in my first car (a rust bucket), asked my dad to help and he snapped the line right off 😂
Love that Sandros side is always just " beep beep beep beep" 😂 love that he keeps it real
sometimes i think fking R2D2 joined the conversation ;D
Yes I love that they didn’t try to make him tone it down
@adamlauko7801 LMAO I'm dead🤣😭
I love that Sandro knew he was gonna be in trouble soon as he got home to the wife.
After Steph took it there at 7:55, my dude spent a LOT of time just lookin' straight ahead at the camera and the monitor lol
7:43
Sandro got me laughing for the first time. The Cookie Monster line got me 😂
COOKIEEE 😂😂
We need to see the sandro vs angelina race!
for da boys.
they've got an awesome cast of people there.
Only guy on here that I think wasn't a winner was that one cocky repo dude.
@@RaptorJesusThat dude was weird for a lack of a better word.
lose both chicks especially Angelina and just have Justin and Sandro, then you will be right.
@@beardsntoolsAbsolutely not.
@@Raz0rking Stop simping, this angelina chick is annoying af.
Ugh I just fucking love how animated Steph is! Sooo fucking adorable! I can’t take it!!!!
Calm down horndog
As a welder, Chromate Corp makes a welding rod just for broken bolts. The flux protects the threads. Used it a few times and can say, top notch.
that is pretty damn cool. TIL
I guess the heat from the weld helps with the threaded portion in the casting to loosen up things.
@@roberthorseman7432 it does. They make a welding rod to remove broken bolts. The flux protects the threads and after it’s welded up, spins right out. Extractalloy, chromate makes it.
Angelina, Steph and Sandro in the same video? YES please :)
one step closer for getting the duo of Angelina and Steph at the same table
spoken like a simp. But I agree justin and sandro should be together because they are the best this channel has to offer.
@@beardsntoolswhy you trying to insult me? if you don't like my opinion just ignore it. and kinda ironic comparing me to a simp when the same thing could be applied to your own comment
@@OliverNeuvilleBMG I just said you are simping because you are. Also the only annoying person here is the Angelina chick, so your "no u" doesn't work
@@beardsntoolsso since you find Angelina annoying every other opinion doesn't matter? and wanting to see a combo of two people we haven't gotten on this channel is your definition of simping. whatever it's pointless arguing with you.
nonetheless, have a good day
@@OliverNeuvilleBMG brah I just said you are simping because you are, you don't need to be so upset, just own it and lets move on, lol
I sure hope that these four had as much fun making this video as I did watching it.
I was a mechanic for a small used car lot when I was younger. I had long hair. One day, I had an engine running and was trying to figure out which pully was making noise. They all felt fine, so I was leaning in to try and hear which one it was. Suddenly my friend just snatched me back violently. It turns out my hair was about a half inch away from getting sucked into the belt. I got a haircut on the way home that night.
My boy Sandro - could never get tired of seeing the dude talking about cars and Justin has grown on me too. Always lover Angelina - this entire cast is great!
Steph seems cool too, but Angelina and Sandro will always be my number 1s
I like to think in my head that Angelina had a shirt with bad words on and they made her slap a Donut tee on to cover it 😂👍🏻Love me some Miss A and Sandro!
It's either that or "Fuck that no free promotion PEPSI!"
I see that Master Shake pin on the hat, Sandro. Hell yeah.
What does that mean?
Shake zula, the mic rula, the old schoola
Shut up and eat yo cheese sandwich.
@blazeonfire6036 just Google "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" particularly the character called "Master Shake."
SHAKE ZULA!
THA MIC RULA!!
THA OLD SCHOLLA!!
HE BRING IT TO YA!!
My people!! 😁
justin’s face when angelina was teaching us was so not fair💀 angela teaches me so much in these videos
I think it was more that he couldn't picture himself doing that horrible job 😂
I just commented this, she went to full teacher mode 😂😂😂, the closeups on justin is so funny
I thought it was because he snapped a bolt in one of donuts videos
That was Angelina saying "this is how you fix it" and Justin saying "this car is totaled"
@@johnfgt500 I thought he was making his faces because, in theory, yes, you drill a hole into the snapped off bolt, tap the extractor in...but then in reality, you try to remove it with the extractor and it snaps, too. Or it doesn't come out. (Some extractors are better than others, and I think maybe don't bang them in super hard, too.)
13:43 My boi having Flashbacks😂
Shoutout to the guy with windshield issues. Appreciate the honesty. Too many channels show what’s best case scenario, but not enough show the hard side. Thank you!
Sometimes videos showing what not to do (in this case replacing your own windshield) are infinitely more valuable than how to videos...
Im a mechanic and i worked for sometime in a shop looking how it's done by someone else. Years later, friend wanted to glue a windshield by himself to save money. I was "ok, i'll *help* bud but no guarantees". We checked everything, twice. Did a cold run. Talked about what to do, how, when and who does it and what if things start to go sideways.
In the end, we spent more time preparing then actually putting the glass in place and it worked fine. It was little offset but you couldn't notice it by eye. All in all, 8/10.
Gluing glass is not easy. If it's an option, please pay for a professional.
ps. i saw in the shop once a car with glass that was so loose we just lifted it off the car. No knife, no nothing. It was holding on with just the gravity and the trim.
I did my own windshield by myself on my first car. I went to a windshield shop to buy the trim, and the guy was cool as hell. He gave me a lot of pointers. Also gave me these hard rubber blocks that you use to set the windshield flush. Honestly, getting the old one out by myself was the hardest part. I had the wire, but you can't really do the whole thing by yourself with that. I ended up using a torch to melt the inner plastic and broke out chunks. It may have been unconventional, but it worked. I succeeded, and you couldn't pay me to ever do another one. I had urethane adhesive on my hands for weeks.
@@alaric_ way to go man! That’s a huge project to tackle. I hear that windshield glue is no joke and you need to be one careful Carrol , working with it
@@SwapPartLLC oh man! That’s wild!! Way to go tho, I’d be very proud to have done that.
They definitely need to be full time Donut employees! Haven’t laughed this hard in awhile.
16 minutes with these 3 is just still not enough. 😂
This has quickly become my favourite channel on RUclips. You guys have put together such a good team of hosts.
ANGELINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
SANDROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
At 12:50, I felt that. I felt that deep in my soul.
Working as an aircraft mechanic on second shift (ending at 11:00PM) to finish working on a plane that was scheduled to fly at 8:00AM next day. One of the few things left to fix was to replace an exhaust gasket (they're brass and steel) on one of the cylinders. Job should take about 30 minutes, but the exhaust blowby from bad gasket corroded one of the two studs that held the riser and it snapped. Crumbled actually.
- had to pull the whole cylinder off to work on replacing the stud (+1 hour)
- thermal and penetrating oil soak prep (+.5 hour)
- after drilling though part of the stud and trying to extract it, the hardened steel extractor bit snapped inside the drilled hole and had to be removed without being able to drill it out (+1 hour)
- continuously drilling with increasing size bits through the rest of the stud and prep for helicoil install (+1 hour)
- cursing and yelling again as the drill bit for the final helicoil size snapped inside the hole and needed extracting without damaging the cylinder head (+1 hour)
- installing new helicoil and stud took couple minutes
- reinstalling the cylinder (+1 hour)
After the final runup, leak check, cleanup, and buttoning up of all panels and getting the plane ready, it was 6:00 AM.
It's stuff like that that's made me reconsider my career
Zinda, his eyes red. The beast at Tanagra. Picard and Dathon at El-Adrel.
Well done. I hope your effort was recognized as it should be!
That's sadly relatable as a software developer. One screwed up line of code and a scrappy debug that gives useless error codes equals potential hours of investigation and fixes.
Hats off to you for getting the job done.
I went to college for aircraft maintenance. It's stories like these, let alone what the FAA might do if they trace an F up back to you, that makes me grateful I only got one job in the field.
You left off the part about needing to report to a person who's never turned a wrench why a 30 minute job took 6 hours...
15:28 Some wise words from Angelina
As a mechanic I love hearing the opinions of fellow mechanics nice to hear different perspectives🙂
Can't get enough of Sandro and Angelina. 😂
The Steph and Sandro duo is awesome🔥🔥🔥
Sandro is the man. Super knowledgeable and straight-up funny af.
We gonna let this new girl disrespect Sandro like that? 😂
This was so fun to watch! Steph matched the incredible energy sandro and angelina bring!!
P.S STILL WAITING ON ANGELINAS AND SANDRO’S RACE!
Oh this lineup is the best yet...
lol a line up mof clowns that couldnt change their own oil in their own cars without google grf outta here
The comedy of my guy sandro and the beauty of Angelina makes this series worth while watching..luv them both
Adding Steph to a lineup of Angelina and Sandro was such a good call
Hey where is she from?
She added nothing to this episode
Give her time. First time on the channel.
She's gorgeous! Don't care if she says anything. Just nice on the eyes
@@tituslittlewhat video did you watch because clearly we didn’t watch the same one. Like bruh, what are you on about? She literally participated the entire video. She pointed out about the homie with sandals on that took off the radiator cap, she joked back and forth with Sandro the whole time, she was friendly and funny. You are literally just hating because she is new and you can’t handle change. Grow up and stop being such a negative person, it will seriously benefit your life. Have the day you deserve fam, peace and love ✌🏻🫶🏻
im happy they brought steph back, shes awesome
Her and Sandro were cracking me up.
YES DONUT MEDIA! Intelligent, funny and attractive people talking get eyes to keep watching videos. Keep it up!
Seeing the Taco with the dash out reminded me of replacing the carpet in my Miata. The job started with removing the trim above the windshield.
3:08 When the animator is on vacation
1:41 🤣 This channel is the best. I don't think there's anything better than funny people w/ chemistry and great editors. Love this crew. Plus, I get to learn shit too! 🤘
I got the same shirt as Angelina. I always wear it now when I wrench on my car. Gotta love Steph laying down the truth. Love your channel.
14:19 that wasnt coolant. Thats AC refrigerant and tracer dye. Coolant doesnt coat like it did on that fender and its all aerosol. Coolant wouldve been a geyser
13:29 I learned a valuable lesson from a friend of mine. When working on an engine if you can heat it up without hurting anything heat it up before you take a bolt out. Remember it can’t be stuck if it’s a liquid.
4:31 A few years ago I replaced the heater core on my 94 Toyota Pickup. It's still not put back together.
This format was my favorite so far. This show seems to get better and better
The one about the oil filter i've had that happen to me a couple of times. Once on my brothers 85 Oldsmobile and last year when i bought my 1st 4 wheeler. Took me a while to get the filter off
14:00 India is not for beginners 🤣
And that is the normal amount of dye we usually have in our coolants
one of the greatest videos ever. Angelina and Sandro rule.
Greatest ever? You have some corn on the top of your nose.
The whole cast killed it in this one.
Definitely yes on that hoodie strap, an impact drill I was using to wirebrush some rust ate the strap, climbed right up to my neck and would have done god knows what if the fabric bundling up into the chuck and brush didn't have enough oomph to stop the drill from pretty much full power.
I had an intake manifold bolt break off in the head of an old 351W. (I was replacing the manifold). It was the rear-most bolt, which was under the wiper motor. Finally got the bolt drilled out. Went to run a tap thru the threads and managed to _break the effing tap in the bolt hole_ !!! I finally was able to get the tap out with an air hammer and pointy bit. It took a full day to get just the bolt hole ready!!!!!
that's exactly why I never liked mechanical work. I do house repairs, LTC, and new built, painting, landscaping but not engines. Nooooooo.
Just in case yall weren't aware the sponsor ad didn't have the little progress bar. Really appreciate you guys do that so hoping it's just a mistake
I noticed that too on some of their videos. Makes me wonder if it's just because a different editor worked on the video, or because some sponsors have stipulations against the progress bar/chaptering.
@@iheartninja first video I've noticed it missing, wouldn't be surprised if you're right some sponsors are super controlling
I just love Sandro and Angelina. What a bunch of lovely people!
13:43 that face is 'I am taking my PTO day today'
Having a looooong day and seeing this vid really helped me feel better Sandro and Angelina are just boss. Love this show.
14:52 Oh man i've been there. Not for an engine oil pan but for the transmission pan. All the bolts were 10mm. There's a good quarter of them that decided to start stripping their head because they were too rusty (pan was getting change because it was rusted through) I had to use a smaller socket and hammer it on those stripped bolts to finally screw them off. The pain is real.
These episodes keep on getting better guys lol
Sandro, Ms. A, and Steph are awesome!
1:19 similar happen to me, but with long sleeved shirt and lathe (woodworking). thankfully sleeve rip off it's seams and didn't rip and broke my arm.
8:17 been there done that in rear window used Sikaflex to secured it in place. has been stayed good for last 5-7 years.
Sandro and Angela! Steph cracking me up too. Poor Justin I wonder what music he hears in his head when Angela starts getting technical or is it just engine sounds?
@15:43 All hail this man! Shitting his own bed for our laughs!
Glad I watched this. I got a crack in my windshield a few days ago, and I was contemplating replacing it myself instead of taking it to the shop. Definitely rethinking that..
I love when I see Sandro and Angelina! Literally Sandro in every clip "Yeah, that happened to me." Absolutely priceless.
1:30 Ms. A's laugh is the best 👏✨😂
Ive said it before but I REALLY like the 2 pairs of double mechanics format. Love the Donut guys, but I really like just hearing from the guest mechanics.
I never had much luck with extractors on smaller fasteners myself I usually weld a nut to that busted bolt/stud I usually use a copper washer under the nut. The heat from welding seems to help with breaking the fastener in question loose.
I did the evaporator on my Suzuki by cutting the piping. With the replacement I did the same but looking out for straight lengths of piping that would allow me to slip a runner hose onto it.
To date, I've had it installed like this for 3 weeks. A daily check, until I gain some confidence. It was that or pull out the whole dash out.
We need more Steph and Angelina 😍😍😍
Did they just miss his foot getting run over 3:30
Dude I thought I was the only mf that saw that
I literally scrolledfor 2 min to even find this comment. Thought i was the only one
The first major car maintenance I did on my own was a brake and rotor replacement for a Chrysler 200. Pretty simple job, just like every other car. Except one of the caliper brackets was so rusted that the threads ripped out when I reinstalled the caliper, and one of the rubber brake lines was about 5 pumps away from being a geyser. A 45 minute $400 job turned into about 5 hours of personal work, as well as an additional $300 for a shop to fix my brake line.
That disappearing coolant, I had an issue on a 5.7 Hemi, cylinder one had a crack that would allow coolant in to burn but not go into the oil. So cylinder 1 was steam cleaned all the time. Gallon of coolant anytime I drove it
Every time Angelina laughs, an angel gets its wings. And it makes me smile.
Petition to give Sandro a donut patch for his work shirt
15:00 was me last month. last T pan bolt broke, the rest came out like butter. shit was seized, i couldn't even get it out with an extractor. Ended up drilling and retapping it, seems to have worked great. When I resealed the pan it torqued nicely
I remember doing the oil filter housing gaskets on my E55.. The nut inside of it was massive, something like 38mm. I didnt have one, so I just grabbed one from a farm store. I get home and get everything down to where I need to use it. Its a fuggin 1" drive, all stores are closed, and my car is apart with no oil in it. I ended up finding an ild railroad spike that i was able to pound into the socket and then use a wrench to turn it. That wasn't the end, the gasket kit I ordered was missing the O-ring that went between the housing and the oil cooler.
13:36 this all sounded sexy. Im sorry 😅😅😅
We need Scotty Kilmer on this channel
AND RING THAT BELL 🔔 (DINNNNNG)
Nah
He will just be mad as hell no one is driving a 94 Celica
No. We don’t.
That's like saying I need cancer in my brain
This reaction crew is the bomb!! Keep bringing them back!
11:05 That cookie monster bit is gold 😂
Love Angelina & Sandro! The absolute best!
Steph is goals.
Love it. Ive caught my hair in creepers. Waxed ponytails catch fire fast. AAA tire changes in winter on hills get fun. Sometimes you just throw the tire on fast enough while the car and jack slide on ice. Stephs a good addition
4:30 Whenever I start thinking about purchasing a newer vehicle to keep miles off of my '75 Regency, I see things like this and am reminded *why* I bought a 70's sedan. Replacing the heater core in that car was a three hour job.
best episode yet. love the chemistry
14:10 learnt that lesson at 12 years of age. One trip to AE later 3rd degree burn to my right arm and so much pain
My favourite episode of real mechanic stuff to date, great job donut!
Some shop put a s#$t coolant reservoir cap on my XJ. Driving out for a hike on a hot July day, all was good until I stopped.
Added more coolant, continued driving and checking. All good while the car was running. As soon as I stopped, pop!
Cap was soft and wouldn’t even seat, just jumped the thread.
Got home using a hose clamp.
Got a good cap the next day, and haven’t had a problem since.
Sometimes it’s not over pressure, just cheap replacement parts.
Oh, love the cast too!
i have had a oil filter break on a boat i bought there was only a few inches of space to work so I don't think it was ever changed after trying everything to remove it for hours upside down i took a adjustable wrench drilled 2 holes one on each jaw drilled and tapped the holes installed 2 one inch 1/4 bolts cut the heads off then i just opened it to grab 2 holes in the filter held it up against base had someone step on the wrench it was impossible to do it by yourself upside down I'm 6 ft 220 couldn't move it but it worked like a charm
Last time I changed shops, one of the first things I asked to see were their shop-made tools were. There are levels to making custom tools, and I won't work for a place that makes them janky and single-use-only.
These guys did it the good & fast, and now have a tool that will last for years.
I remember telling a dude who was doing head gaskets on a nissan vg30e to replace the exhaust studs wile the head was off because they snap all the time he didn't listen
I actually like the Steph and Sandro pairing. There was great dynamic between them...
The beard hair incident. A similar thing happened to me with a drill. I had long hair at the time, it got caught in the chuck. The thing is, sometimes it doesn’t just pull your hair out. The situation pulled the drill out of the wall and the drill hit me in the head at what felt like 150MPH and THEN ripped my hair out. Bald patch and concussion.
