New struts are less than $15. Just changed them out on my Ram pickup, old ones lasted 13 yrs. This is a good idea if your going to be under the hood for a long time, same thing as using jack stands if you plan to be under the car for any length of time. I use a cordless DeWalt saw to cut PVC, less chance of nipping a finger.
Mine cost $30 each (2 needed) shipped and lasted 5 years. I would use the disc grinder over a toothed sawblade for this. Less dangerous.
Heck of a lot cheaper than new struts for sure.
AND faster, easier, and no need to special order! Great work!
Thanks for the shout out.

My Grandpa used pipes that were large enough to fit around the body of the strut. Instead of removing the pipe to close the hood, just slide it up onto the body of the strut, and it stores there.
That's what I did too.
Thats what the guy did they got the idea from...they just didnt do it as well as he did!!
Brilliant video! AMAZING product!!! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
I'm gonna use this idea for my failing macpherson struts!
Nah, just drill a hole in the strut shaft and insert a cotter pin.
You can try AliExpress they do have reasonable prices of Gas Support Struts & I got a pair of liftgate Gas Support Struts for the PT Cruiser for $27.43 New Zealand including freight for a pair which I had received last week from AliExpress they are brand new & the boot lid on these PT Cruisers are a Very Heavy & they work fine I installed them myself & I'm really pleased with them here in New Zealand they are very expensive it would cost me $160.00 for the pair I wasn't paying that price for them & these rear gas struts can handle 700 newton meters which is 516 pounds & now I only lift the boot lid up about a 1 foot & the boot lid goes all the way up to the top & it does it Automatically Thanks To AliExpress Kind Regards Peter
Old Motocrossers used to somehow recharge their shocks by brazing some type of fitting and refilling them. Would be great if you found out more and did a vid showing how to repair the strut like that.
This is the 1st I've heard of it. Typically you never want to heat them or they blow out hot oil on your business.

Man...good idea, I did not want to spend money changing struts o my old Kia Sorento. Thanks
Hey that cutting tool is no joke you feel that torque when you turn it on? That thing will rip your fingers off if you don't prepare yourself to use it properly
Gonna have to try that for my rear glass struts. They are infamous for failing on Blazers! Got me a couple of times.
Simple and brilliant ,, the dealer asked 240$ for rear trunk set for my Chevy Lumina 2007
How is this a cheap fix when you need to buy a grinder?
I could understand if someone was using regular tools like a hammer, but a grinder is not a regular household tool.. it's a tool for builders and people who modify things.
Larry and Curly at their Best !!!
All my stuff is old enough I don't have to worry about those :) 92 k1500 is the newest thing I own haha. Good old springs.
Now the dealer won't rip me off. Signed Senior Lady
I love this idea!!! Great job guys!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
3 EASY payments. That's 25% savings! Down from 4 MEDIUM payments. Originally 5 HARD payments. ACT NOW and double your order (originally 1)
Its a cool fix, but you can pick up new after-market struts for about 16 bucks/ pr online.
THE F##K U CAN $30 EACH IS THE CHEAPEST ONLINE & THAT'S JUST AFTERMARKET PICK N PULL BE THE BEST PLACE LOT OF CHOICES AND THE PRICE IS PERFECT TOTAL OF FIVE FINGER DISCOUNT
@@noehmedina4705 - Just one example. They're out there. www.amazon.com/BOXI-Charged-Universal-Extended-Compressed/dp/B01H6WIMW2/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=StrongArm+4418+Universal&qid=1558161273&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0
Nice trick,i will use this on my Camry hood struts,quick,fast,and most importantly cheap.
You can buy under 20/25 dollars new shock on eBay or Amazon.
I keep a pair of vice grips under my hood. Does double duty to work as a pair of vice grips, too.
nice idea
you could buy the strong arm hood struts. They have better compression than stock hood struts.
Finger eater, love it 🤘
GREAT IDEA . THANKS. IT WPRKED FOR ME TOO.!
You very funny Dr Jones. Great video.
what i do is put a dent in the outside tube just above the piston. works like a detent. would be good to have the P V C for safety.
3 easy payments of $19.95!!! I’ll take two.
great vid. i was gonna order, but was waiting for the free ginsu knife. must not have been one of the first 100 callers. bummer.
I can't argue with the price, and I love creative ideas like this. But before selling the car it might be wise to spring for struts so you don't have to offer a complicated explanation to a buyer looking for weakness. When I fix something before selling it I often wonder why I didn't fix it before.
hopefully buy the time he sells it the blower will be disconnected, tailgate will be missing/lost, and body will have
plenty of dents-PVC hood holders will blend right in:)
Yeah, but it's a truck. If a used truck buyer knit picks over this, then he's not worthy of buying your truck (yes, u like for my vehicles to go to good homes).
Am going to do it right now
Thanks Brian
Welcome Juan- watch out for the finger eater! Dress for success!
Good job guys.
Wishing this trick would work for my fiberglass tonneau cover. Too heavy to open with only one hand and can't reach the struts anyway.
I keep a 2 foot long 2x4 in the bed, open the tonneau cover and hold it open with the 2x4, and install their lift support pcv pipe...
Great vid for an easy fix! Keep 'em coming!
Awesome
A vise grip would be reusable and available. Keep it somewhere under the hood. LOL!
I used to drill a hole in the inner strut shaft toward the end of its travel and put a pin through it, You tie the pin to a string and tie it around the strut and you're good to go. Looking back it probably weakens them but I only ever did it on my own vehicles.
That's a great idea too!
Exactly. Vice grips for me. Neat thing is they are also vice grips, which is a bit more handy than a pvc pipe (Walmart and China freight sell em for cheap)
Genious!
Thanks, I'll tell my son. His Honda 600 silverwing has a bad lift under the seat
great idea, thanks a lot!
Wth dude kakakaka hope that hood don’t slam on your head or finger while working on the car , it’s only $35.99 for 2 life time warranty on eBay bro .
Im going to replace my hood struts soon, for now i have my handy dandy vice grips xD
Thank you for a great tip!
Welcome Zane- good to see you buddy!
Hi great vids your uploads are great like to see more gen 2 dodges wanting to do a leveling kit on my 98 wish u were closer lol have a great day
i wish customers would fix their damn hood struts when i write recomend hood struts on the R.O . but they dont have to work on it so they dont care lol
Amen brother! Amen! Whenever people pop for struts etc. I always make sure to return the favor and go the extra mile on their car- even if it's just battery terminal cleaning or some extra fix.
or just spend $15 and it magically stays up on its own.
Im using vise grips for right now. Cost me nothing.
My question is why do this when you seem to have 4:06 a functional hold-open rod? Unless I've mis-identified that rod you stored the PVC pipe on.
I wondered the same thing
sixtyfiveford has a bunch of great videos I found him shortly after I subed you you guys both rock
Thanks rusty!

First 100 callers get a 2nd set absolutely free
No cowbell at the end? Disappointed.
I don't get it it's literally $20 for a pair struts 60 pound lol why don't you just fix it right
simple !
Thanks Guy girls can do it too yay
perfect!
cartoons.
4:15 So he clips one of those to a hood prop... lol... whats the point of hood struts if there is a hood prop?
I think that's the crank for the jack, not a hood prop.
I’ve been hit too many times
furd f-teenthousand lol its a whale home
