      You can't move it down the piece you are cutting an arbitrary length for comparison testing as it effects the cooling due to conduction and surface area convection. Not to mention deformation/stabilization. Most noticeable in the spring steel cut for Lennox.
      While this cuts both ways as far as advantage/disadvantage (I say, I say, that's a bimetal joke son, a gag, a gimmick) it introduces error in the testing.

    When you're doing repetitive cuts and wear out the teeth in one place on your Sawzall-type blade, whether carbide or regular, I've found that the foot on my saws can be moved outward, typically by loosening an allen nut and then retightening it after foot has been repositioned. This lets you get maximum use out of the remaining teeth on your blade when doing repetitive cuts. This is really helpful when using longer blades or when you've run out of new blades, and don't want to waste time driving to Tractor Supply or HD for new ones. Even the blades he shows in this video, with the severely damaged teeth, have more life left in them if you use this tip.
    P.S. Next time try using tapping fluid on these metal cuttings to see if the blade temperature or the cutting time would be reduced, or if blade wear would be reduced. Tapping fluid certainly helps when drilling through steel. According to some, lard or bacon grease can be used as a substitute for cutting fluid, if that is unavailable.

      Project Farm On another note, i.e. penetrating oils, the manufacturer (Bostik) of an aerosol spray known as "Bearing Lubricant" is discontinuing this product. In the past it has been one of the very few fluids that would truly penetrate and cause rust to quickly release in rusty, frozen bearings. My experience with it was like yours with Restore - wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. While it's possible the formula has been changed over the past 25 to 30 years due to the expense or toxicity of some of its ingredients, the original non-aerosol version, marketed by Sandaro (predecessor to Bostic) was simply unbelievable. It has always been marketed as an industrial lubricant for routers and woodworking machines with lots of bearings, a fairly limited market, instead of as a general lubricant. I have had cans in my shop for at least 30 years. Get a can while you can for your next penetrating oil test, particularly if you ever decide to test how to get frozen machine bearings to come back to life; as of early June 2019 it is still available from Rockler, Amazon, and major suppliers of industrial lubricants. Bostik also sells a dry lubricant for blades and such and another product which forms a protective dry coating on metal to prevent rust formation on tools and the steel tables for saws and other machine tools.

      That’s a good idea.
      I use the whole blade anyhow. All the way to the tip.
      I often start the cut with the base of the blade and then complete the cut with the middle and end of the blade.
      That way the base stays good as long as the rest and I can use it to start the cuts.

Whenever someone asks me my opinion on a product that they are about to buy, I immediately refer them to your channel if it's a product that I know you've tested. Don't be afraid to put your seal of approval on your favorites. I know you want to be humble, but after putting in the work that you do, you've earned the right to state which product you think is best. There are certainly plenty of hacks out there that are willing to tell the unsuspecting what's best, without ever even using the product, if it's free from a sponsor.
    I used to be a big supporter of Consumer Reports, but because I worked in a GE appliance factory that made many of the appliances that were regularly reviewed, and I knew that we made many of the other brands that GE was compared to in that magazine, right there in our plant, identical to the GE product , just branded with a different name at the end of the production line, I couldn't understand why those other brands got rated higher. They would test many different GE branded models that all used the same major components and end up ranking them all over the place. I have come to believe that their testing doesn't mean much because of the sample size of such complex products. You, on the other hand, provide meaningful compares because you test simpler products, therefore I have faith in your results. Kudos, Sir.

      Sadly, he chose the inaccurate way. You can't measure the temperature of a shiny surface with an infrared thermometer like that. The emissivity is a lot lower than a matte surface (showing lower temperature than actual) and inconsistent. Next time, he should measure on the rusted/ mill scale covered bit. Another trick often used is to put a bit of tape (electrical or kapton) on the metal piece, which then assumes the same temperature, but its emissivity is close to 0.95 :)

      @@han5vk It's not the important. Whether the emissivity is 0.95 or 0.50, it's clear that steel is nowhere near temperatures that would cause any effect on how the steel responds to cutting. The point isn't to show that it's 70F vs 73F, but to show that it is no longer hot.

(I used to work in car dealerships. Instead of having skids of washer fluid filling up the parts department, we had bottles of tablets that you dropped a gallon jug of tap water. The tablets would dissolve, turn the water blue, and did something to give it solvent and antifreeze properties.) A couple of cups of product in the freezer to check for freezing points. A couple of cups with a small amount of water, frozen, apply fluid to the ice with an eye dropper...what melts faster.?

      ​@@ProjectFarm I second this request! But I'm not sure what the best way to test them would be. I've detailed (way too long...) what the problems we've been having with windshield fluid over the years below. Maybe it will help you think of an effective way to really test the fluid performance in colder climates that will really show which ones work the best (simply measuring the freezing point and how well they clean away dirt/salty spray would not be all that helpful).
      We have been going through a nightmare the past few days using some overpriced -45° C fluid picked up at a local gas station recently. This stuff freezes in -25° C weather once it is sprayed onto the heated windshield if you are cruising on the highway (100 kph/63 mph) no matter how much heat you blast on the windshield. You get 1 to 1.5 wipes before whatever they are using for antifreeze evaporates and it freezes solid. Each time you spray, the layer frozen gets thicker and thicker until you have to pull over and get out the scraper. It is actually quite dangerous and the -45° C rating is a joke. It probably won't freeze in its container down to -45° C temperatures, but it definitely can't be used in temperatures below about -20° C (even -12° C is really pushing the usefulness of this crap).
      My wife also bought some Canadian Tire -49°C stuff that freezes to a heated windshield in -35° C and below weather. It lasts for a few more wipes before a thin layer freezes and if you can drive without seeing for a few minutes it will evaporate. Otherwise you end up having to spray again and again to keep melting and refreezing, over and over (and this is with the defroster on full blast and it so hot inside the passengers are roasting). Another issue I'd appreciate seeing tested is smear resistance. This particular fluid contains some sort of hydrophobic chemical that makes water bead and supposedly "blow" off the windshield. The annoying issue is if you are using the wipers to wipe away spray from other cars, or just rain or snow, without spraying more windshield fluid; after about 40 to 50 wipes (guess) it starts to leave a colorful smear behind when you wipe. This smear never seems to improve until you are forced to spray more of the windshield fluid again, which gets you back to the water beading for the next 20 or 30 wipes with the smearing starting again around 40-50 wipes.
      What I would like to find is a windshield fluid that truly doesn't freeze when used in -40°C weather (like the -40°C stuff used to perform 15 to 20 years ago), while driving down the road at 65 mph, with the heat on a comfortable temperature (blowing about 50% of the heated air towards the windshield so a normal heater setting or auto heater setting in our newer cars). I'd also like a fluid that simply cleans the windshield, without leaving behind any "special" chemical film that is supposed to make water bead and that ends up streaking as it gets wiped away.
      These days almost all of the windshield fluids I've tried seem to flash freeze once whatever chemical they are using as an antifreeze evaporates and you are forced to have the heat set to defrost and full heat (roasting the vehicle occupants) to have any hope of having a safely cleared windshield.
      I've been trying everything I can find these days and frustratingly, all of the windshield fluids that that don't freeze extremely easily, all seem to contain some form of annoying hydrophobic chemical that ends up streaking unless you keep using it over and over, wasting huge quantities, when it is just raining or following cars on wet roads.
      I wish windshield fluid companies would get back to the basics again and sell a windshield fluid that truly does not freeze on the highway and that does not contain any streaking chemical additives as the residual film gets wiped away. For many years I used to buy a basic -40°C rated fluid from Crappy Tire (Canadian Tire) that was just like this. It worked, almost never froze (not even the thin film left behind at highway speeds from a few windshield wipers) and didn't leave any annoying residue. They also sold a -35° C version and other less cold versions, but those were never very good on very cold days. Unfortunately about 20 years ago that -40°C stuff was changed to something that flash freezes once the antifreeze evaporates and they then started selling a "-45° C" version (for more money) that behaved like the old "-40° C" stuff. Then about 10 years ago that stuff too was changed to something that flash freezes once the antifreeze evaporates so they then started offering a "-50° C" windshield fluid - BUT that stuff contains annoying hydrophobic streaking chemical and to make matters worse, even that has seems to have been changed recently to use an evaporating antifreeze additive so even their most expensive product not only streaks, but it also freezes. Grrr...
      To complicate things, these days there are a ton of other windshield fluids available, with more added every year - but which one, if any, really works? Canadian Tire now sells not only their own (junk) in at least 4 different "levels", but also sells Preston, Windex, Rain-X, Reflex, Armor All, Pacer, Simoniz, RainBrella, and probably more different brands of windshield fluid. Many of these also have multiple different versions with different temperature ratings and different performance claims (such as powerful cleaning, water beading, dirt repelling, anti-streaking, etc.)...
      I haven't tried them all and would love to know if anyone makes a decent de-icing windshield fluid that really works (regardless of what it is rated for) on the highway at down to at least -30°C, preferably -40° C, and that doesn't leave chemicals behind that eventually streak as they get "wiped" away?
