What happened to the torch cut chain links? At 4:35 in the video they started working with saw cut pieces of round bar and the large chain link pieces were never shown in the rest of the video
Yeah they switched it out. I bet you those link pieces are given to the folks that actually have some sort of furnace that can get up to the melt temp of steel. I've seen other ones where they have small-ish bootleg blast furnaces that help them smelt rebar out of scrap like that.
You have premises that house 10 or 20 men working all day supply their machinery, fuel, work pieces, customers and delivery for nothing in America do you?
Not just steel toes. "metatarsal" boots. There is sooo much wrong hear by modern standards but they are getting it done. Wonder how many days since lost time accident right?
The cost of labour is artificially inflated in developed capitalist countries as part of maintaining the hegemony of wealth, while labour in foreign countries is kept artificially low. In Bangladesh it's cheaper to have dozens of workers tapping the underside of ships with hammers to remove rust - rather than machines.
@@RadioMartyT1BSafety standards are enforced as a mechanism to keep the price of labour disproportional. Only a petty capitalist who wants to live in gentrified liberalism would truly desire such things. You don't need capitalism to have safety standards and health care.
I love the PPE these guys all wear..... Very safety conscious....... I'd be willing to bet their lost time accidents are at least 75%..... Not bad at all.......
I was a welder working for the Lockeed Shipyard in Seattle back in the 70's. I wore sandals similar to what these guys have for 10 years without a problem.
I checked on Amazon and eBay. They had plenty of open-toe sandals available BUT none of them had a safety certification. I also checked for some invisible welding goggles... same result. Guess the Asian countries are keeping these workware items for themselves. 😢
The only difference between steel toes and flip flops is a steel toe shoe cleanly cuts the toes off and flip flops just mash them flat so they should be called flat flops.😆😆
"... so you see we were gonna make watches and they repossessed the microscopes, so a quick thinking engineer said "let's make these instead", and thus a billion dollar industry was born "
if its bloodey perfect what do inspection when its correct every time why do it need inspection thought of that one yea cut corners if they can cost more in the end
How were these “wheel spanners” used? I would have liked to see a demo. Who bought them and how much did each spanner cost? That was certainly “labor intensive” to make these items. Was it worth all that time, labor and huge carbon footprint from all that fossil fuel burning torches and furnaces?
Humans are the footprint. And evil wants all humans dead. (foot prints in the Sand on the beach where Jesus is walking with you in life, 2 sets of prints suddenly go to 1 set of footprints. Oh little one, that is when Jesus carried you). Evil wants the carbon footprints of people extinct. Carbon is life. Plants need CO2 or they die.
Well, since all those guys make about $3 a day, in a workshop with about $300 in equipment in total, on a plot of land which costs about $20 a month: yeah I'd say raw material is about 80% of total cost per product.
Don't matter where your from Man has always and will always Do what has to be DONE for what ever reason!!! What ever it takes How long it takes It will be done
These guys are skillfull,the lathe,welding,its amazing what they can do,real craftman.The co. should take care of them better with proper clothing and shoes,glasses.A real expert could tell if its all up to par or not.
The elites want Western workers to work in these same conditions, and that's why neither party in the "multi party systems" of government ever stops immigration.
I would hire anyone who manages to travel from Pakistan to the EU in a refugee boat in an instance. Someone with that level of bravery, determination, and sheer dumb luck can only be an asset for any company.
Could you imagine how much these men could accomplish in a day if they had the right equipment it should make American men and women happy that they have stuff that makes their job a whole lot easier than this
And that ladies and gentlemen is what a third world economy looks like. The ingenuity and drive of all these men is amazing and who are we as the "first world" to tell them to stop using the resources found in the ground. Our economy was based on fossil fuels (and still is) and to force alternative energy sources is unjust.
With the amount of energy required to cut the links into tiny pieces, I don't understand the economics of this process? Can anyone explain how it is profitable?
This is India. The workers get very low wages. Cutting up old steel and melting into new forms is cheaper than blasting and digging iron ore out of the range, transporting it to a Bessimer furnace, pouring it into ingots and processing further at a steel mill. This is technically named recycling.
Chain came from ships that are aground in Shir Lanka I think. Ships are then cut up and sold. Probably the same company that is paid to salvage is the company that pays these guys less than living wages. No unions in India or any other part of that area. As far as safety these guys learn quickly how to do their jobs or they don't survive. Always someone to replace them.
Steel toed flip flops should be mandatory
loll your must be lazi baby union
I need to pick me up a pair so our lazy baby union can work lmfao. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Naw man I saw the green patch, they be safety sandals...I have a similar pair
Whats next? fair pay? paid time off! SMH thats not how you run a s*ave empire.....
HA!! or at least steel toed sandels.
Say what you want but I respect these hard working men. Just trying to make a living like everyone else.

somewhere in Pakistan a factory is making axles and anchor chain out of old wheel brace spanners.....
Probably Qingdao Anchor Chain co. ltd in Qingdao, China. They have been producing a good majority of marine chain since 1958.
One day one of these guys is going to see a workbench somewhere and lose his mind.
Actually no...not long after this video Snap On reached out to him bought him to the US and got him his Green Card now he's working in their R&D
They will recycle the whole American car scrap yard in now time
One day he's going to wake up and not see at all. I don't believe they don't wear goggles
Right? I love watching these videos, their ingenuity is intriguing, but why is everything always on the ground? Seems like hell your back.

A workbench, revolutionary.
Every place in these videos is covered in dirt and rust and grime. its so gross
I'm pretty impressed how good those welds look
But how terrible a newly made part looks otherwise.
I was just about to say the same about the welds , bloody spot on I just assumed the guy was blind🤣🤣

Thank you
Not chain links. Size is nowhere near near the chain link
Yes, and why so specific marking the cuts on the link halves, while they were all different?
Yeah they switched it out. I bet you those link pieces are given to the folks that actually have some sort of furnace that can get up to the melt temp of steel. I've seen other ones where they have small-ish bootleg blast furnaces that help them smelt rebar out of scrap like that.
Those little chunks of cut chain were heated up and pressed to be the spanner end.
Anyone notice the welders chipping hammer is made from a old drill bit....?👍
I did

@@ericlassin953 Too bad he couldn't be bothered to invest in steel toes boots, gloves, eye protection etc., for his people, huh?
Steel toes? Check.
Safety glasses? Check
Gloves? Check
Hearing protection? Check.
Yup, we ain't got none of that.
Do you understand why you have so much more for so little a cost?
Steel toes = Safety sandals
Safety glasses = Safety squint
Gloves = Layer of metal dust
Hearing protection = deaf already.
All covered bud lol
Hey, yer forgot paint brushes...
Not just steel toes. "metatarsal" boots. There is sooo much wrong hear by modern standards but they are getting it done. Wonder how many days since lost time accident right?
They DO have a lot of dirt though!

I know the weather is probably very warm but sandals doing a job like that !?! Crazy.

Dudes wearing their machine-oil soaked "work pyjamas" about to spontaneously combust...
Good thing they have open toes sandals so they can know which toes get crushed when the chain falls on them.
I'm always looking for missing toes in this video. Seen a few.
I worked with anchor chain for years ,this size and bigger. It gets your feet or bangs your ankles when it twists on you.sandals? No
the Precision measuring is unmatched 🤣😂🤣 The podiatrists in that country must make a fortune
there probably arent any at all.
Incredible Asian craftsmanship. You can tell they've been doing it this same way for hundreds of years.
I didn't know what they were making until about 10:00 when it was obviously German hand grenades reminiscent of WWII.

Now what I want to know is how they transported and piled all that anchor chain in mostly one piece.

Amazing, good workmanship.
Nice to see the guy with the hook wearing his steel toe sandals
Welcome to Snap-Off tools !
Very interesting and effective specialization of tasks. Very hard working people in less than ideal conditions or safety regimen. Excellent video.
We're pulling down piles of anchor chains today? Okay, I'll be sure to wear my sandals!
First video ever where you get a glimpse of the legendary but elusive "camera guy". Epic!
15:58 I have worked it out, they paint them military green, so they are probably selling them to the US military at a $500 a piece.
¡I love how they wear no work boots, welding gloves, or welding goggles! 😱
Excellent choice of footwear!
A superior product... made under the strictest quality and safety standards.....
if its bloodey perfect
what do inspection when its correct every time
why do it need inspection
thought of that one
yea cut corners if they can
cost more in the end
Only the most modern equipment and technology! 😎
I work remotely from my house, i also work in my PJs and sandals. We're all hard working men.
Excellent cutting and welding! Shows what can be done with a welder, torch and some machine tools...but you have to have skill.
Fascinating video that would benefit greatly from descriptive captions.

They're for removing and replacing truck tire lug nuts. Presumably they're making other sizes too.

I like there quality control ,,, if it can survive all the slamming around the assembly process it must be good 👍
Those are some slick welds!
One must have, at the very least, two of the ff:
Boots for toes
Mask for lungs
Gloves for fingers
Safety goggles for eyes.
Great craftsmanship from an OSHA approved workshop.
Gotta love the safety sandards😅
Was any of the anchor chain actually used to make that thing?
Its impressive and honest work. I just wish they got paid well, because we all know they arnt sadly.
How much did the oxygen and acetylene cost to cut up those chain links?
they might make their own acetylene.
crazy eh
Fling the part in the dirt - the last line in every job instruction.
Definitely filmed in Switzerland.
Darn. I thought it was Bolivia.
It's pakistan
Looks like the chain was in pretty good shape. Why couldn't it just be resold into the shipping industry as anchor chain? What what do I know... ?
Maybe safety regulations
0:20 - The guy showing off his Rolex. The advantage of running a RUclips channel instead of physically working.
These anchor chains look to be good enough to use on another ship.

Increíble las condiciones deplorables a las que están expuestos los trabajadores

What a kick ass job for 50 cents a day. Do they get dental too?
I worked in a shipyard those links are so heavy
Be sure to watch his next video Recycling Wheel Spanners into Anchor Chain.
These videos keep OSHA execs awake nights.
I can't see how any process that involves people handling units one to 4 at a time in such manual methods can be consider "mass production".
interesting use of axle shafts
Western countries would automate most of this so it is perfectly done.
Imagine working in that dump. No ppe. The heat. No chance. No wonder they want to come to EU on a boat
They got loads of heat! That is a hot climate.

Eu goso de ver todos com os equipamntos de segurança...chinelos, sem oculos.sem auricular.
They never told us what they were making. Splines on one end and a socket on the other? I give up. Hash pipe maybe? Anyone?
It's just a tire iron for a truck, made out of a recycled axle shaft and chain link.
Love the worker's steel toe safety shoes.

Used engine oil was the fuel for the furnaces. Pretty smart!

I see the one with the gold watch cares about the Health and Safety of the workers🤨 as i expect its the boss 🤔
He's in the middle of a chain reaction 😂

They're definitely great at repurposing.
That’s recycling at its finest, old car axles aren’t they?
Why don't they go into the ship chain business? Seems more money is in that than spanners.
Chain is used and scrap.
Watch the video in reverse and see how to turn spanners into chain.
Appreciated 🙏 👏👏👏
Because surely there is a market for 5 million of these spanners.
Reminds me of a ST-Deep Space episode...in which they had similar items, impossible to sell.

Plus gas over there is probably dirt cheap I’d think?
Their living wage standard is much lower than Americans or EU.
Wearing such a large gold watch in front of these men who work so hard for so little is very disrespectful. Humility is more impressive than wealth.
