United States
Приєднався 28 кві 2017
I am a do it yourselfer. But during every project I find myself asking "Why did I try that?" Hence my Instagram account "DIY Did I Try That."
This channel will be a mix of DIY how to’s, and reviews of products a DIY’er or homeowner may buy.
My goal is to show you that ANYONE can be a DIY'er. From car maintenance to home repairs and home improvement, you CAN do a lot more than you think.
I want my videos to be informative, quick and to the point, easy to follow, and most of all, show you EXACTLY how to do it yourself.
I will try to use basic tools that you may already have and everyone would be comfortable using.

Hart 40V lawn Mower review - Mow your lawn at night!
Переглядів 2,9 тис.2 роки тому
Today I am giving you an in-depth look at my experience with the hart 40V. Overall I like it, I'd rate it at about 4.2 out of 5. It comes basically fully assembled, has a 5.0 amp hour battery, mulching blade, and a bag attachment. The pros are, it does what it's supposed to, cuts real well even in thick grass, is quiet, and consistent. The cons are, I should have gone with the 6 ah kit to avoid...

I kept having an issue where the door A pillar tweeter housing was popping off when the door was shut, and I have a teenager so it got slammed a lot :D I realized that you cant just push them in by hand, you have to use a punch (a small dowel or never sharpened pencil will also work) and gently tap it in so the clips lock. Don't over do it though, if you hit too hard the punch will go through t...
Easiest Pressure Washer Oil Change Method - - - - Ryobi/Kohler Small Engine Oil Change
Переглядів 14 тис.3 роки тому
As a follow up to my review of the Ryobi gas pressure washer, here is the how to video for changing the oil. This method is the easiest way to change the oil on any small gas engine that doesn't have a dedicated drain plug. Without the use of a transfer pump you must tip the engine to pour out the oil. This $10 solution will pay for itself in ONE USE, if you are one of those people with a swear...

Переглядів 4,8 тис.3 роки тому
Taking a quick look at the New #Ridgidpowertools Brushless Hammer Drill Model R860012B that I picked up at #homedepot.

Drilling holes is just as easy as the driving function and it accomplishes that task with ease. It has a great price ...

Thanks for checking out my channel! EDIT 7/1/24 (3 years later and my switch was acting up again.

This time I didn’t use dielectric grease and will see which fix lasts longer.) Today I am going to show you how to simply repair, rather than repla...

LG LFXS27466 door-in-door refrigerator review
I'm having the same exact issue with a 2016 XC90. Seems like the solution is probably the exact same? Quoted $1200 P&L to replace! Gonna try this instead when I get home!
@@danheller I hope it works!
WOW THANKS!! you saved me around £25 many many thanks
@@chaddamp2894 glad it helped!
Thanks. I needed this video
@@MarkBarners glad it helped!
Do not know what these guys from volvo do: - 2x rubber strap from tank cap - 2x joint of tap - 1x servo slave of central locking of the tank. 2007 XC90 D5, normal condition 😅 This happened 2018-2024. Could be worse, but 😂😂😂
I just had to squeeze the sides of mine and then rolled it off, no cutting required.
Excellent review! Loved it. Thank you!
@@ralphhenson7501 thanks!
How much do you put in
@@RobertMartinez-qt8gn it depends on which engine you have, they come with various engines (Honda, Kohler, etc) you’d have to refer to your models manual.
Thank you for the video, it was as good or better than if it had been live audio. I just bought a set of brackets from the "jungle" store as well, and building a 24 x 24 carport. I chose these over the Vevor ones because these are supposed to be made with stainless steel. I have not received mine yet, so I'm not sure. And I am using 6 x 6 pressure treated lumber. Kudos on your video and project success !!
I did not need to cut it. Just put a flat-head screwdriver between the cap and the ring. Did not need a lot of force
I watched a # of videos but this was the best for confriming that the ring had to be broken & how to do it. I used a backsaw. Thanks!
@@BobC777 thanks, glad it helped!
good job..thanks..hope to see much more
@@BeGood2day thanks!
The drain plug is right there. Even an arrow points to it.
Funniest comment on the internet!!!!
True, but his way is much faster and less messy.
@@A.Edwardson Not really, just did the oil change, long extension, 10 mm socket, out in a jiffy, drain oil, wipe with rag, plug goes back in, done.
Thank You! Did not know it is that simple!
@@CSXT8250 glad it helped!!
Wish I'd have seen this video before I sprung for the whole shabang. 😢
@@TonyStarkDC 😬 ugh, sorry man
@diyhowtoandreviews it couldn't be avoided as I kept getting check my cap lights, which caused check engine lights, and poor gas mileage, not to mention the aftermarket replacement that i bought which I'll never do again.. What was I thinking?!?
Thanks dude, in my case my high beam stayed on and I did no know so my battery keep die, replace the battery because off course mechanics will screw you for anything possible and the problem persist it but he says was not related, thank you Volvo Dealer for the 350 dollars spend for nothing
Glad this helped you! Thanks for the feedback!
Since install have the 4x4s warped?
Nope, still looks perfect! I have an electric screen on one side that’s 8 feet long. It has a square metal frame that is flush mounted and still perfectly flat against the wood. Be sure to use pressure treated lumber though. I used the “cedar tone” PT boards from Menards. I like the look way better than the green pine but much cheaper than actual cedar.
Definitely a game changer!!!!
Thank you for this!
Glad it helped you!
My stop self propelling
got a set from eBay for my Rav4, mistake, Cheap garbage, hard to believe it is so bad.
Nice video. Does this have an orange or red key by the battery?
Yes, it has the red safety key
@@diyhowtoandreviews thanks. Ours won't start. We can't find it and don't know where to buy one.
@@FunnyBlipped you can try here hart.ordertree.com. Also most of these are just a jumper essentially so you may be able to just put a piece of wire from one socket to the other, but I haven’t looked into this model specifically so try at your own risk.
Mine snapped in half so either way I had to spend 100. But you helped me stay away from scam mechanics! So still thank you so much.
Mine just did too. Who did you order from?
Did exactly the same way, cut it with my multipurpose tool. I forget to use that tool. It seemed to be the right tool for this job. Thank you.
What brand pump do you use?
I used the pennzoil one from Home Depot.
Very Helpful. Thank you.👍
Does this also work with the high beam which is part of that switch?
I was a having issues with that as well and it helped. The contacts for the high beam are in the same area.
Thanks for the great instructional video.👏😎👍
You’re welcome, glad it helped 👍
What kind of lumber did you use. I try to look for 4x4 but it seem like I have 3"1/2" and the bracket is 3"3/4".
Yes, “4x4” lumber has an actual size of 3.5x3.5. Lumber has two different descriptions, nominal and actual size so 4 x 4 or 2 x 4 would be the nominal sizes where the actual sizes of those would be 3 1/2 x 3 1/2, or 3 1/2 x 1 1/2
Does this effect all of the functions on the stalk?
The blinkers and high beams for sure, not sure about the dial or button on the end as I’ve not had issue with those.
Thank you for responding 🙏
Run! 🏃 Fun! 🤩 RUN! 🏃♂️💨
I used a dollar tree wire cutter and a pair of tweezers to wedge between it
Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
without towing, would you say this gives it a softer or more firm ride?
Is this the same thing that happen to the new model XC90? And have you ever tried it because sometimes when I indicate my full beams kick on
I don’t know if it’s the same as the next gen XC90.
Thanks for the review! How are these holding up for you? I just bought these and wondering if I should have bought the factory VW ones. The plastic ends is what worries me... Where are the factory ones use steel for the clamping mechanism.
I’m still using them and they are going strong. I take them on and off which doesn’t leave them in the elements, but is arguably more “wear and tear”. They are surprisingly still like new. They’re for my wife’s car, I have a Yakima for mine and it uses plastic as well. It must just be a really durable plastic. The last trip I did I upgraded from the box in the video (18 cu ft) to a 22 cu ft so even bigger with more weight. Did 2200 miles and it was all good.
My menu dial doesn’t work properly. Sometimes it does sometimes doesn’t work. If I hold the arm and a little bit move up and down it work or suddenly change information on the screen such as I dial the menu ring. So I will try this on my switch as soon as possible. Thank you my friend.
I’m not sure if cleaning the contacts will help with that, but it won’t hurt. I have a similar issue with my heat/AC blower knob. Sometimes it turns up and down easily and sometimes it jumps around, I think the contacts inside are dirty.
@@diyhowtoandreviews yes especially cleaning solutions intrude and make the contact points sticky.
Thanks. For removing the old ring, It also works to score it with a carpet knife (or hot knife), then wedge in a thin screwdriver where weakened...stretch it until it breaks.
I just grabbed it with a pair of pliers and twisted it. It cracked and pulled it right off
Very Helpful - Thank you
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful!
I own this, works great. I use it every year to seed.
What tapcon size did you use?
I used 5/16 X 3 inch with a washer. Tapcon item #24293
40 bucks is pretty expensive, in eu oem fuel cap with string costs 20€
Lightweight is good and what did I use it for it’s a lawnmower ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTPN04aT-Qdjr_KS3ql7ng8wnU3wwsCqk also recommend Yes it is lightweight so hence not as robust as our old one. But if you take care it does the job really well.
If you bothered to read your manual you will have filled it with kerosene then run it for 30-60sec then drained it again. Removes all rubbish.
dremel is not needed, the ring pops right off .
What oil or what brand is recommended?
Is the size 10x10 or 12x12 ?I know the legs are 10ft. The 4x4 you used were they 8ft or 10ft for the top
The top is almost 12x12. It’s about 11’10“ X 11’8” to fit my patio. I used 4x4x12’s and just trimmed them a bit. That was one of the selling features was if I went with an out of the box pergola it’s either be way to small or way to big for the space.
Thank you. Just mashed up the old one with a pair of wire cutters. New one just snapped on.
I used a set of bike cable cutters, took the old tether ring off in one snip!
