This should be a series you do occasionally. Absolutely brilliant 😀
I second this. More please. lol.
I third it… more please
Cinco de mayo
"Take some chain, about 1.5ft should do. On one end we weld the head of a 15lb lump hammer. Weld the other end to a 2ft piece of 1 inch round bar and presto, a flexible hammer to get into those hard to reach places..."
@@Farmelle who's gonna swing that? 2lb hammer will do fine
I like hollow steel pipe. Thick wall but enough inner diameter so that any residual locktite in the cap can drain out quickly. As others have mentioned, tying a bunch together with something like a chain means that a wide area can be covered and cleaned up quickly.
Mythbusters have allready tested it...
You know what? I think I could use these for all the caps I have. Not just Loctite.
Absolutely. You can never have too many Loctite cap holders around the perimeter of your property.
I use Loctite all over the property, seems silly to carry a cap holder every time I need to work on something and with this informative video, now we see how quick and easy they are to make.
I was thinkn the same thing
This is the single most genius level idea ever! 🤓
@@matthewellisor5835
Don't lose any of them they're a medieval weapon called a 'caltrop' - used for disabling your enemies horses!
I got excited and made about a hundred of them. I had no place to keep them so I welded up a small tub I mounted under the back floor of my Yukon, where the spare tire used to be. Since I like being handy, I rigged a quick release I can remotely activate from the driver’s seat. Just for convenience, y’know?
I can't imagine a better place for loctite cap holders!
Just brilliant!
Those would have come in handy when I outran the sheriff last week 😂
You are a guy who really care about your caps
You could also take some lightweight chain and link about 20 locktite cap holders together in 6 inch increments. That way when you're working on your driveway you've got cap holders the entire width and when you're done or need to move down the road you can grab all of them at once.
That’s actually a great idea 😎
Tongue firmly in cheek
You knuckleheads… let’s be honest what these really are for… all small caps obviously… I don’t just locktite my driveway like some kind of degenerate
@@brymac8904 lol 😂 thank you for clarifying! I was thinking to myself "why would he say you need multiple?" And then I remembered all the times I was using 4,5,6, 7 bottles of loctite at the same time.
the chain idea is really a great idea
These would be great for refinishing cabinet doors and the like. The sharp point will keep missed paint marks to a minimum while the paint or varnish dries. Definately good to have. Like they always say "A woodworker can never have too many clamps". Same is true for this. Great idea! Thanks!
DIY Pyramid stands is exactly what I thought too.
Also, with 3 of them, you've got a means to make flat welds for framing (seen it done with ball bearings, but any 3 points give a plane
@@RJ-wx3fh You can make other things flat too...
That is a great comment! 👍
@@BensWorkshop ...... I wonder how many people don't see the truth in this.
I keep my loctite holders welded to a piece of steel rope so I can easily take them quickly from one shelf to another very quickly. They lay down very quickly across my workshop floor so I can pick which cap to use.
After having so many single, cumbersome loctite cap holders just wildly existing every which where, I'm so thankful for your idea on how to move them between shelves.
Just incase you need to drive to the other side of the shop.
You never know just how many bottles of loctite you'll have open.
Thanks! Another excellent idea. I am merely a student.
If you use them loose, remember to make a note of how many you have out so you don't forget that last cap holder in the longer grass. Magnetic brooms (big bar magnet with wheels) makes cleanup quick.
Chain them together
I used a magnet broom when I very briefly worked in residential construction, and my life will never be the same. Those things are priceless
Man, if a cap holder went under the mower, that could be BAD! Sound advice!
@@thomasjohannesen1003 I saw one with a lever that disengages the magnet, kind of expensive but I NEED it!!
And if you're missing one a lawn tractor works great in finding them :D
My loctite cap collection has never been so organized!
go go gadget road spikes!
That was great!! About a min out from the end my son yells” it’s one of those horses stoped things!” I’m glad Cody explained what it really is to us. Kids these days.
Please say hello for me,
Caltrop
@@wranglerstar will do god bless
@@666t We all know, but we're trying not to get this video removed.
🤦♂️
It would probably be good to have a handful already made. They also make great corn cob holders for fall decorations
OMG Cody, this was maybe my favorite video you've ever made. The main reason I watch you is for you intelligence (rare these days) and all your Dad and Grandad stories are so similar to mine in every way. Even though I'm a Texan and we have different operations, industry and way of life, I realllllllly "feel" your videos' message(s).
And this video just took the creativity cake 🎂.
Love you brother. 🛐✝️
Thank you brother, your comment made my day,
You could make some from steel brake lines. That way if the lock tight lid had any air trapped inside it could escape really quickly.
Would that just bend over? I like the hollow tube idea, but I don't know what to make it from
What a great video. If only I had a welder. I'm so glad RUclips recommended you. I really like the old tool segments. What a collection you must have!
Awesome, thank you!
@@gregpearce MacGyver 😉
Even if you are just slightly curious, buy a stick welding machine. always good to learn a new skill that will eventually come in handy
Buy used machine for next to nothing, or get crappy stick for cheap. Even a shitbox flux core is going to give you the ability of sticking metal together.
Handy to have
You could use some Loctite.
I prefer to make my cap holders out of 1/8” zinc plated pipe. That way, any built up loctite has a way to drain from the cap, thus preventing annoying thread buildup.
I'm not sure you understand this video.....
@@Mike-gw9yt I’m not sure you understand what Dave is saying
@@Alakster27 ..... If he's saying anything other than that "a piece of pipe will prevent buildup in the threads of the cap" then yeah, I sure don't. My point is that the take away from this video has absolutely nothing to do with locktite.
@@Mike-gw9yt lol, no worries man. R/whooooosh lol! So, go look at how a police issue spike belt is constructed. Then my post will become clear as the day is long!
@@Alakster27 r/whoooosh
I am laughing out loud! Everyone should have cap holders...and I am a lady and love your channel.
Same
@@NickRanger I am not. I am an arc welder and I don't like you vehicle.
Gal here too. Thoroughly enjoy “Eve’s dropping” on the “True Gentleman’s”channel.
I have 137 Loctite bottles and this metal working tip will really help me hold those troublesome caps right where I need them. A bucket full of them could be ready to use in seconds. Thanks Wrangler Star ⭐️
You Sir, are a craftsman.
I absolutely love the thought you put into your creations.
Godspeed as always.
Thank you very much!
Oh me oh my! What a wonderful cap holder, I've been using an old key I ground to a point to hold my caps up until now, but that definitely has it's disadvantages to this! Thank you for showing us this, I think I'll make as many of these as I can and spread them around so I can always set down a cap!
I've been in search for that one gift that's perfect for every proho with a shop, garage or workspace to organize all those pesky lids while you're engaged in work with them. This might be my favorite video on solving those kinds of problems with creativity, and I can't wait to implement this time and space saving device. What a relief!
Funny story, I did i video on making these cap holders about 10 years ago. A certain LEO that had a grudge against me tried to get a search warrant for my home because of this video. They are not permitted to be made here because of their use in the coal strikes. He was turned down for the warrant because the video was more than 6 months old and he couldn't prove that the video produced in my state...
Yes very handy
Also can be used for spraying doors and drawer fronts
That why I have a gallon bucket of them😉
Nice cap holder! I will keep them next to my hole puncher!
+1 I hear ya, every home owner needs cap holders for projects around the house or while traveling to hold those pesky caps in place. We all hate losing loctite caps so best be organized and have them ready in case you need them. I like the idea of modularlarity - maybe a mix of those free ones for small projects and some on a rope for the bigger projects.
Historically a very useful design. A cap holder is a brilliant modern use. Like the pvc collar for drill bits, I’ll remember this useful tidbit of information for years and tell my friends.
Very clever. I dig the delivery. Good job. More of this. Haha
I knew exactly what you were making from when you mentioned the second timber spike. Definitely an excellent tool for any professional's toolbox. Complements my other tools well- like my nailgun and toolbelt, just in case I need to get over to a pal's house and fix a situation of sorts. Cheers Cody.
Don't forget good work boots for checking their driveway at night when you head over. My grandad said the steel shanked ones he used in Southeast Asia were helpful if anyone accidentally left their local variant cap-holders lying in ditches. They could be absolute boobys around the shop.
Yes…all sorts of applications!
Well done!
I’ve found that small tubing works even better as a cap holder better airflow for your cap which every professional homeowner knows is very important
As a professional homeowner I mark the 4" and 2" at the same time. Production rate of caltr...err loctite cap holders goes through the roof!
I'm looking to see if anyone else thinks of caltrops 😆 your the first
There IS a reason nobody spelled it out.
@@jimbusmaximus4624 why if you don't mind me asking?
@@Blumped algos
@@Blumped RUclips isn't fond of... Certain instructional content.
Great advice, this will show trespassers how much we care about our caps and private property
Locktite cap holders, nifty. Always good to have a few around
You have no idea how many times I had nowhere to set the Loctite cap for the couple of minutes that I had it off; or worse yet, lost the cap when it got away…(!)
@@scooterp7009 locktite caps really like to roll into floor drains or way under workbenches as well.
I thought it was going to be the classic bottle opener. 🤣
The worst part about your videos is how expensive they are to watch. Now I'm searching Amazon for stick welding machines and I can't even think of a single time I've needed one! ;)
Love the videos.
Honestly I wouldn't even know what I would use it for. I just find myself looking up new tools every time I watch one of Cody's videos. Sometimes I'm able to walk back off the ledge while others I'm hitting "buy" before I know what's happening.
Titanium stick welder from harbor freight works great!
These cap holders are guaranteed perfect for East coast applications!
Looks like I won’t need to put a gate on my back road after all!
You can make the same thing, a bent nail that always has a point facing up without welding at all. Just take a long nail, put two marks dividing the nail in thirds, grind off the head of the nail at a sharp angle, then make one 90 degree bend to form an L, then bend the long part of the L 90 degrees so one point in laying flat, and the other point is sticking straight up. My mother and her friends used to make bunches of these to puncture tires on German army trucks. One point always points up no matter how you toss it.
You can also loop two of those guys around for a similar effect. You need longer nails, but I've seen the work with more standard sized caps.
I still to this day close my eyes when i see an arc, even in a video, it's been 25 years since i was a welder.
Me too! My wife asked if you could be harmed from a video, I said I didn't know, but I just can't look at it. She looked it up & said you can't sustain eye harm from a video of welding, but I'm not taking any chances
I just use my OSHA certified squint
I’ve been watching you for the past few years now, maybe more because time flys.
But because of it I’ve started doing more hands on projects, I’ve been really enjoying watching a project I put work into come to fruition, special kind of feeling.
Thanks buddy for being a good role model. Always extremely valuable info ❤️🔥
" cap holder " definitely not caltrops
From professional homeowner to anarchist cookbook
Everybody needs a dozen or more cap holders. I'm going to throw mine out by the road to see how they weather. When SHTF, at least we'll be able to store those caps.
One tip. If you use rebar it's stronger for the larger loctite bottles. And it's thick enough where you can't pull it out and put a plug in.
How am I gonna explain a box full of these to an officer that these are loctite cap holders and not caltrops? 😅
"Yes office im actually going to the locktite cap convention a state over"
Lol beat me to it
THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS MAKING!😅😂😂
Just show him this video, haha.
Keep a ton of loctite bottles around!
I made a bunch, just so I can share. At least once a week I seem to attract people on the highway who want to know how I keep my Loctite caps so well-organized. I appreciate their enthusiasm, but they tend to get a little closer than is safe. I like that I can just toss them a bunch now and then they'll get back to a safe distance, no doubt very happy that they, too, can now keep their Loctite caps well-organized.
Now that's a sharp idea that would stick to someone that would follow along.
I see you get the point.
This video is absolutely freaking amazing 😂😂😂 man I love it.
I think I might keep these around the perimeter of my property. Never know when you'll need a bucket full of locktite caps held off the ground.
Fence staples work great as well. Spread them apart a little, then tack 2 together. You can fit a WHOLE BUNCH in a coffee can for easy transport.
Thinking of adding barbs to mine, just to keep the caps securely in place.
That's a great directional indicator so you can always know which way is up. Great hack Cody! Thanks!
Well I didn’t see that coming thanks I really needed a good laugh’ WELL DONE
MAKE THIS A SERIES!!!
Pro tip, if you use Permatex, cut the angle to 65° for better cap holding.
Under appreciated tip! (pun intended)
This is by far the best and quickest example of a Cap Accessor, Loctite, Triggered Regardless Of Position that I have ever seen, nice work.
I find when they are made out of tubing to lighten them up with holes drilled in each finger for cooling you really bring this tool to the next level and improve you cap holding experience.
I heard tell of a man who was being chased by Mexican cartel soldiers in tinted minivans and sedans. He had just left the workshop and had made an entire full-size truck bed full of these lock-tite cap holders. In a stroke of luck, when he hit a pothole, his tailgate latch failed and he got away ultimately making it all the way back to his homestead in Florida safe and sound to his family.
That's the add on to the simply safe system. Place 50 under each window along with placing them on the basement stairs. Oh wait that sounds like a movie. Be sure to make them when your " Home alone"😁
Amazingly BRILLIANT
Also would work great for testing that new tire plug kit
Got a whole bucket of em. Great things to have and hope ya dont need, instead of need and dont have. Lol
You have never made a better video, it's these helpful tips that really demonstrate your wisdom and experience. I hope these become a regular series
I laughed so hard my housemate checked on me to see if I was all right.
I wasn't expecting a cap holder. I have an odd use. I'd use it as a stand on a hot plate to hold circuit boards. Would also make a good anchor for a kayak.
What a great idea! And then there was the glue bottle, and the cap for the silicone tube. I even made more for friends as Christmas stocking stuffers. Thanks Wranglerstar.
I could definitely see how those could come in handy! Any recommendations for a basic tig or mig wire welding machine? Do they make machines that can weld with both stick and wire? Great content as always, much love from Texas!
I landed on the Millermatic 211. It's not a big welder but it's very good. You can use 120v or 240v. It will weld up to 1/4"
Yes, they’re called multiprocess machines. You’re probably better off picking up two separate used machines if you want to do both though.
I purchased a Lincoln LE31 MP. It’s a multi process that will do mig, tig as well as stick. They run right around $1000 and comes ready to do stick and mig. Tig torch and foot pedal is not included. You have to also purchase your gas bottle separately as well. Check it out online. I have been extremely pleased with mine and it is definitely a solid option for the average professional homeowner.
@@wranglerstar thanks!
@@KC-zc3ny ah ok
ive kind of stumbled into your videos randomly over the last few months. this one was exactly what i needed after a long day at work, especially seeing that i had everything laying around the shop to make a few myself. looks like the perfect gift for my dad!
Guys its definitely a capholder. Stop saying it's other things, gonna start drama.
Now this is pure vintage Wranglerstar, brilliant !!!
Well dang I thought we were playing extreme jacks. At the very least my Loctite caps won't be running away anymore with this quick trick, thanks wrangler!
If you make them out of hollow tube they let air pass through them easier. Makes drying the Loctite cap out much easier.
I discovered these back in the 80s when I used to ride my mini bike around the neighborhood. I picked up over 40 one day on the dirt trail I rode on after a few flat tires.
Some people are so messy. I can't believe they would leave their loctite cap holders just laying around on the ground.
MythBusters made this a few years ago. Then again, they made them to be tire spikes, not cap holders.
Wow! I had caps from several bottles trying to roll of the bench just the other day.
What a time and aggravation saver; no matter which side they land on, they're always ready and the pointed ends keep them from sliding around the bench.
I wonder if some steel tubing would work too. Any thoughts?
I don't know, steel tubing would ensure proper airflow to the inside of the cap! That's a fantastic idea, and the type of critical thinking that keeps a handyman safe. But is the tubing strong enough for those heavy duty caps on the INDUSTRIAL strength loctite caps? They're heavier and have a metal belt inside.
Did some testing and came to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter if you use tube or solid rod. If the caps are spinning at any speed, the stands tend to go flying almost immediately, so there’s not much time for it to provide ventilation. Better to ensure the stand is sturdy, tall, and wide enough to hold up even the large caps.
@@TheSteelArmadillo that's what I was concerned about. Loctite caps (especially the industrial sized ones that the company uses,) can be VERY heavy when you're working at full speed and I'd want the strength of solid steel. It is a brilliant idea though! To act more like a punch instead of a poke. If that makes any sense
@@77Matt I haven't heard of this. I need to do some reading!
@@jimbusmaximus4624 Hmmmm. This might require some testing. Maybe Adam Savage has prior experience with this, I hear that he goes through a lot of Loctite.
👍Love those cap holders! Very useful!
If you run the cutting wheel down the length about half way through while in the vice after your first cut, they might hold those caps faster.
Perfect. I’m always losing my Loctite cap and this would work for a lot of other types of caps as well.
I knew how crazy the world has been and is.. this blew my mind. I think cap holders may be very useful in the near future. Thank you wranglerstar
I completely did not understand this video until I read the comments. +1
I enjoyed trying to figure out what you were making. Tossing it in frame was very cool.
Lock tight cap holder ! 😅 Omg you really are awesome sir !
These days I think we can all use more videos like this. It reminds me of the East Coast chainsaw video from back at the old homestead.... lol
Watching you try to keep from smiling at the end, was hilarious.
This is the perfect excuse for me to buy a welder
Not just a cap holder, that's a nasty caltrop waiting to be used. Might even rival the pain that legos inflict
They also work to stand up other types of caps excluding loctite, they also make use as replacement barn wire barbs for deterring animals and birds.
That's an amazing idea 💡
I am sort of interested to know, why this cap holder in particular is useful for homesteading/ownership. In general, keeping unknown vehicles from coming down a road? Due to seeing the loctite cap in the road of course. Or for emergency loctite cap holding when you're driving?
Wonderful idea. My son needs to learn how to weld so I’ll have him make 100 or so, for the practice
For a full 30 seconds I was like damn, this guy really loves loctite.
I made these in shop class before they "Kittied" that up and took all the fun stuff out.
Ours were "Ring Holders", and we used 1/4 round bar, with a measure stop.
Nip off the tip of the bar stock to establish the first angle, move to length, cut , repeat.
Great tip in todays troubling times. Make hundreds of these cap holders.
I've called them paint triangles before. Perfect for holding something off the workbench when you need to paint the top and bottom of something. Never know when you need a full bucket of them
But why cut off the 2" off the top? Why not make them bigger or smaller and then use the off cut for the next one?
@@PsychoC4rnivore I think almost everyone that's commenting on this video know that man
@@PsychoC4rnivore you should delete this comment lol. Be smart
@@Hammerjockeyrepair lmao, i really should
Absolutely lovely!
Absolutely loved this 🤣
Love what I've learned from you
You can also put a container with a trap door under the back of your car. The trap door has a pull pin connected to a string. The string will follow a series of pulleys and end up in the users preferred area (within arms reach) of the drivers seat. The container will hold these metal doo dads and will be dropped when the string is pulled and the trap door is opened. The doo dads will fall out and render the car behind the operator immobile. The more numerous the doo dads, the increased likelihood that one will in fact puncture the target vehicles tire(s). The operator should not reverse his or her vehicle after deployment to avoid inflicting a popped tire upon himself. When the victim of the popped tire pulls over and has to use super glue to fix his popped tire, he can use the cap holder so as to not lose his cap.
How does this relate to loctite cap holders?
Brilliant!
Spoken from a professional.
You also should have a way to properly deploy lubrication...something that everyone needs. Playing the theme music to Peter Gunn while doing so is optional...
@@broadhead4311 Well I should think it glaringly obvious that the following vehicle in question would be the local loctite rep.
About 40-50 of these will keep my shop tidy
Love it!!!
A box full mounted to the underside of a professional homeowners pickup truck, perhaps with an easy release handle in the cab would facilitate rapid delivery and dispersal in the event that mass loctite cap holder shortage should take place. Your neighbors will undoubtedly be very grateful for your selflessness.
When you knocked the first one over, I immediately asked myself "Why are you making a Caltrop?"
