Hack for when your trying to find a wiring short. Instead of going through 5 packs of fuses get a 5w 12v bulb and solder two lengths of wire to + and -. Crimp on a couple of male spade terminals to insert into fuse holder and voila! If you have a short to ground the bulb will light up and start hunting for your short. When the light goes out you've found it.
For cutting silicone hoses. A hose clamp softly nipped up works a treat for providing a hard straight edge to guide a Stanley knife blade to around the hose leaving you a nice straight cut
Mine is a time saver hack. When putting in a LSD into your car, actually put in a LSD. Saves heaps of time.
bahahaha
Saves Time and money 👌🏼
Hahaha! Top comment material for sure.
🤷♂️shit happens
Just found this channel. Subbed!
I use a empty 44 on a drum dolley instead of the table.......it has a lip so stuff doesnt roll of......and if you cut a hole in the side you can keep ya rags inside it!!
"10 hacks in 10 minutes" Looks at video length , 20 minutes long . That's why i like this channel.
Hahaha you get it
Love your oil filler. Great hack. My favourite is instead of sandwich bags for bolts, use one of your cheap parts boxes. Take off the first bolts and put them in the first section and write on the lid. Place the second lot of bolts in the next space and so on. Then when you come to reassemble you are not digging through a bunch of bags, you just take the bolts out of the box in reverse order which also makes sure you don't miss anything.
That’s a great idea, and so simple too! Love it
That peg and nail trick. How have I never thought of that! Life changing!
Another good solder holder is blue tack, also holds the wires together better I believe than the "helping hands" first shown
First hack. Keep white squishy foam packaging. Use hole punches or internal coutersunk tube as a cutter to make plugs from the foam for hole blocking when painting something that needs holes plugged. Just did a fuel rail using the same method.
Second hack. The Cricket Maker machine. Or as i call it The Cricket Gasket Maker machine. Make your own gaskets. Just buy gasket paper from parts store. Need to learn a bit of CAD work. I think i may do a video tutorial. Perfect for Sunday afternoon thermostat or TB gasket replacements on any car. Within a few minutes you have a perfect gasket. And you can make your own vinyl lables with it too. My favorite tool!
2 pegs and a nail, Brilliant, I may not use pegs and a nail but that concept the next time i solder 2 wires together I will use.👍
Love it guys! Will be copying some of those hacks for sure. Also... #8.1 Write on the bag before you put bolts and air in it, much easier :)
A really good magnet in the end of a thin plastic conduit, so if you drop a bolt or screw its easy to pick it up. The length and diameter of the plastic tube is dependant on your needs. Really good magnets can be found in old computer hard drives... they are strong as!
Garden pressure sprayer hand pump. Cheap to be found used from goodwill stores work great to fill atv gearboxes . The long wand and lever to control the flow of fluid is no mess fill.
My god, the filing cabinet for sandpaper. 😍😍😍
File cabinets are cheap and great for storing lots of things. Welding hoods fit perfect and keep them clean. Seal bottom with RTV and store oils in them to prevent leaking messes.
Heres a hack I came by recently. You can re-gas spray cans with a generic air nozzle. Comes in real handy for re-gassing degreaser or even just giving store bought cans extra pressure.
Everything on wheels in THE BEST idea. I've always done that. Makes things so much easier.
Bloody genius. Best thing Bunnings could do is make their tactix organiser boxes easy to label. Last night I was thinking about storage in a small gap and that organiser box trolley thing is the answer!! I have heaps of them. Every episode I have tried to see what you did there with them. Every episode.
Hi guys fun and informative episode again .My hack is use a storage devider box for sorting bolts in sections while stripping engine/gearbox and label with old pieces of parts storage box.Also magnetic tray holding bolts etc. at engine bay, underside of car,bench etc.is an other good one.Cheers
Loved the oil transfer hack
That Peg hack is priceless !
Thanks for the hack share
You also just solved a problem I’ve had for a few days to cap a power steering rack. Ear plugs. Genius.
The sand paper in file folders is fantastic! I've done the ziplock baggies, not as much as I should
I use a portable clothes rack for hanging fiddly bits with wire to spray paint. Good episode fella's, I learnt a few tricks from this one. 👍
My top Hack-
Do you tap threads? Want a free ratchet tap adapter?
Cut down an Allen key to 20mm long. Any size, 8mm or 10mm is my go to.
Get a gladbag style plastic bag, put it over the Allen key, then push it into a 3/8" or 1/2" drive socket in either the above 8mm/10mm size.
The plastic locks it onto the socket but can be removed. Rip, cut or use your bic to remove the excess plastic.
Then use a 2nd 8mm/10mm socket on your desired ratchet.
You now have an adapter that fits any ratchet/breaker bar/t handle that is square drive to fit exactly on any 3mm-18mm tap
I'm definitely using the peg wire holder hack, brilliant!
Genius!
I find using the fingers out of disposal gloves and elastic bands great for putting on hoses and keeping the fluid from leaking
My top hack...buy a pair of leather cycling gloves and remove the finger tips. No loss of dexterity, surprisingly warm and no skin off knuckles. I have already made my wire joining jig. Great tip!
Wire joining jig is supreme , why didn't i think of the clothes peg idea instead of always wishing i had 3 hands?
Put a rubber magnetic sheet on the little table 😏🇭🇲
Ever cut a bolt shorter with a hacksaw and then been unable to thread the nut on? The hack: thread the nut on first (below the cut) then run the nut up to help re-form the thread.
Get the yellow Dymo industrial label maker for a bit extra and you can label your stuff but also do labels for wiring looms with clear 3:1 sealing heat shrink over them
Good work fellas
2 pegs and a nail. Best hack evaaa.
Loved this video. #6 made me laugh. At myself . Because it is so smart and simple yet it is the first time I have seen someone do this! Going to go it right now! My file cabinet is right next to my sandpaper also. ha! These smart simple hacks are the best! I will use a few more also.
Magnets are my freinds. Hooks and bungees/ velcro staps / tie downs to hang stuff out of harms way. Great episode as usual fellas.😆
Nice work guys, some great hacks in there!
Blew my mind with the earplug hack.
#1) I use stainless steel meat hooks that you buy at your local hunting store to hang brake calipers while you do the brake job. These are S shaped hooks that are used to hang a deer while you are cleaning it. They work great to hook through the large opening in the caliper and then hang it from the coil spring of the vehicle, keeping all strain off the flex hose. I think the hooks I use are 7 inches long. Just remember to remove the hook from the spring when the job is done or it'll slice through the sidewall of the tire in a split second. #2) I use 6 inch round magnetic parts trays to hold wheel nuts when you remove wheels for a swap over, but not really doing any work to the vehicle. These trays magnet right onto the side of your car hoist column or arm and cling on onto each set of wheel nuts as you take them off to swap over to snow tires or mud tires or summer tires. That way you're not kicking wheel nuts all over the shop, #3) I keep my air tool oil in a small metal hand pump oil can. One quick shot into the fitting on the tool delivers the perfect amount of oil. The little plastic nozzles on the oil bottles you buy always seem to be a gooey mess, and when the bottle falls over on the bench, the oil runs out all over the place.
About time for some more Hacks, guys..
Nice work boys... love your humour...brightens up the day...and the hacks are great too lol...
Congrats you are using your precious workbench. 👍🏻
This video was amazing keep it up
Hack for removing o2 sensors just angle grind a small section out of a cheap ring spanner. Enough to slide wire thru and away you go
Great stuff guys! thanks for sharing. I am in the process of reorganizing my garage now and am going to place everything on wheels!
Great episode guys. Need more hacks!!!
Your hacks are awsum, i liked the hack you didn't mention, the carton draught stubbie on the work bench
Fantastic. Thanks guys.👍
This was awesome! thank you for sharing!
Brilliant stuff. I'll be using several of these. Thanks.
Magnet trays on the hoist arms for wheel nuts and bolts always came in handy as a mechanic, if your pulling apart a timing cover or sump etc and bolt lengths are all different grab some cardboard and draw the sump etc and poke the bolts through the cardboard to avoid confusion
2 pegs and a nail - I've been soldering for years - why didn't I know this one. Thanks guys.
We used to heat enamel paint when was signwriter when we had to brush it when spraying not available so it flows better
Here’s my hack for you (came to me during the outtakes): If you keep getting two drawers mixed up, switch the stuff in the drawers then you’ll always pick the right one 😉
#11 was the best hack , cheers 4 sharing sirs.
Good stuff. Thanks
Excellent ideas guys, they are going to be used in this guys Work Ute and Shed for sure.
You guys nailed those hacks👍
finding a blind hole, lets say you have to pieces of metal one has a hole but another piece of metal over lays that hole with no way of getting behind that hole, get a thin piece of metal strap, fold it in half, where the 2 ends meet drill a hole near the edge in one of the holes put a pop rivet now you have a way to locate the hole, the rivet will slot into the hole and a way on the top side to mark where you need to drill ......... sorry if you've covered this one i only just found your channel
Great video guys.
Ta.
Wicked episode boys!!, my little hack we use a work is similar to your zip lock bag idea but we use the lids off crc, degreaser and brake clean cans and write on them so you save money on buying zip lock bags!!
Zip locks are great for dismantling cars in long term storage. The space saving and flood proof insurance is a must.
on your rolling tables for under the car. Put a 1/4" edge all around it. Now the bolt/tools wont roll off the table
loved it chaps, #7 is especially pointe, frustrated Dad syndrome has left me scared lol .
Allan key extension. Grab your self any size allan key, say 10mm. Then grab your self a 3/8 10mm socket, grab a 3/8 extension, put allan key in socket put extension in socket bam, you just turned a 3inch alan key into a 7inch of torque fury.
07:09
Yeah, ... also got fussed at by my dad for doing it wrong. Should have just bought a light with a clamp & left me be.
16:03 It's a neat trick, I don't know how the wood affects the job your doing... I.e. it acts as an insulator..
But you could get yourself a thick gauge of ware, bend it into a square "U" shape... with two alligator clips , & it would probably
hold up just as good. . . & be lighter.
Interesting stuff.
11:20 is crazy. Use a y piece on an air nozzle using the venturi effect instead of pressuring the container.
Same way a spray gun works and using an old cheap non gravity gun would be easy. The degreaser style guns would be best.
Remember your compressor is drawing moist air, the nature of expanding/contracting pressures introduces more water too.
So make sure you have a water trap installed
Ditto! Same hack for a (fill the blank) sprayer: Media blaster, pump, etc. Alternate: Drill pumps, but be certain to label it for the fluid.
Great hacks guys.
tip- write on the bags BEFORE you open them. THEN put the items in the bag.
It's tag & bag.... not the other way 'round. Would you rather write part numbers or descriptions on a page or a bubble?
Haha fair point, tag and bag it is
@@HackshopGarage Thank you, Fellas. On your wheely table when under a car, biggest magnetic tray you can find. Bung that on the table coz bolts will still make it to the floor...
Sand paper in a filing cabinet is genius!
Very good and funny
Your toolbox labels... I upped the game on that about 15 years ago. Get some of those adhesive backed magnets (like the Avery 3270). Print off your labels as you're doing, but stick them to the adhesive side of the magnet. Now when you move stuff around drawer to drawer, or even just side to side it's easy to move the labels.
Oh yeah, and when I consolidated several boxes into one large one - just popped off the labels and moved them to my new box! No goo left over on the drawers to clean off when I sold the old ones.
More shed stuff and hacks
My hack is a 10mm spanner helps get wiring clips off on newer cars so you dont have to use side cutter
13:00 warming them would raise the pressure too.
I've tried this once, water stuck to the can and dripped on the paint job ruining it :(
Shaking the water off was a pain.
After you clear the nozzle upside down always wipe the tip too.
I used to fill a small cup with thinner to put the cap in while inverted spraying but the effort lol.
You can unclog cans with thinner dripped in the tube under the nozzle. Requires lots of drops over an hour while depressing the cap.
You can refill cans and depressurize them too
Also, keep a stash of snacks so you don't have to leave what you doing,wash ya hands,track oil inside etc.
To step up your oil filler to the next level attach a bolt, washer or some other weight at the end of the inlet hose (eg with a cable tie), that way if you tip the container the inlet will stay in the oil (props to the designers of my kids water bottle where I saw this)...
Find a nut that will screw onto the hose end that’s what I did. I used a old jerry can and filled it with solvent then use a siphon sprayer for mobile use.
I tried the warming the paint can trick, tip don't use boiling water.
the can exploded in my hand, silhouette image of shoes on floor and a large dent in the roof.
🎄Merry Christmas mates 👋,, first visit to your channel.
Good stuff.
Love the oil transfer thingy🤩.
How about using magnetic parts
🥣 bowls 🤔.
I have at least half a dozen, and are worth every penny. FYI.
Cheers 🍻, G,
in beautiful Boulder City Nv. USA 🇺🇸
Ear plugs, genius!
Instead of zip lock bags, try take away containers. Don't even need the lid most times, can just keep stacking them inside each other.
My hack would be cleaning up metal shavings from welding magnet's, just give them a blast with a air gun and bam clean magnets. Just make sure you use ya safety squints.
If possible, rather than cleaning the magnet with an air gun…. Put the magnet in a plastic bag. After you’ve picked up your shaving, invert the bag. Pull the magnet out while simultaneously inverting the bag to capture all the shavings.. ✌️
Legends.
Add magnets to the table and your really set.
You’ll need to change your name soon to Million Dollar Garage!!
With those rare cars in there!!
Need some plans or a better look at the wheeled MDF parts case!
Best "hack" if you could call it that.
Keep stock of steel and bolts etc.
When you need to make something you can just do it without stuffing around going to buy 3 bolts in what ever size.
Also. I built a small forge. Learnt to bash steel. Need a different size pulley puller but the shops are closed?.. no worries. Forge your own out of some bar stock.
My hack is paying better people than me to work on my cars which includes my 16 son who is about to start an apprenticeship as a truck mechanic 😁.
To get F!@$%n bolts out that just won't go...I use a 1/8" drill bit and Snap-on remover tool. this method you drill a bit inside the f!@#%n bolt and hammer the pin into it. then slide the nut attachement and turn the bolt out.
Paint cabinets = dry erase boards! They’re black? Chalk pens.
Golf tees for small block offs.
👏👍🏻🍺
Was that a 9 inch in the hq??? On the hoist
I think you will find it was a 9” in the XY.
I use a heat gun to warm up pressue paint cans ha ha
Run the bottle pump air through a regulator
Been there, still hacking it 50 years later ( with success))
When people come to use your tools….. I don’t understand what your saying. Do people out there loan their tools?
Work shop hack put your bourbon and coke or rum in a coffee mug so the misses and boss don’t know your day drinking best hack
You guys discovered tampons.
