Yea I've noticed that a LOT of tool manufacturers these days cut their costs by just skipping the whole heat treatment and tempering parts of the production line, we bought some steel scribes and centre punches and they all deformed with the very first use of them, so we sharpened them all and then did a quick little heat treat just with Mapp gas torch and a bucket of water and they haven't lost their points ever since, even after several staircase and balcony jobs where we used them religiously. You can turn a lot of cheaper tools into very good ones by just finishing the manufacturing process on em
Honestly, it's a pretty decent tool. (If given to me) I wouldn't mind having them in my every day kit. It's always nice to have a tool that can be sacrificed to complete a job and save your nicer tools to live another day
Always have a couple cheapies for sacrificial purposes, screwdrivers, couple wrenches, etc, whatever you’re trade would require, not like with the tons we have to own a couple more pounds matter
That was a hair anti-climactic, but those pliers were just too soft. Actually, it's a little impressive that they did not pop! Haha. Great videos man!!
Nah AVE is different. He’s all about foreplay. This guy gets right to it and knows all the right moves. I respect AVE very much but he just gets to talking and while it’s entertaining stuff sometimes after a hard day of work I just want to watch a man trying to explode a wrench with his Parker hose press tool in the back of his work van…. In fact I want it most days and I just can’t find it.
You wont believe what i've cut with pliers and a hammer hitting the handle on the ground as a kid, but they wont cut wrenches in half, never. I still have some pliers which split and bended like this in the video, hoping i'll make a restoration sometime as they were my first pliers.
Funny that you say that I remember doing exactly what you said many times as a young inexperienced and stupid kid. The stupid shit we do when young amazes me.

Man, you are slowly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. It's all about getting to the nitty gritty about what works and what doesn't and you're not afraid to call out someone who falsely advertises their garbage. These pliers did do better than I thought they would though...keep up the awesome videos!
Took a beating and held up surprisingly well. Other tests to failure I've seen have the head snap at the pivot or the pivot even fly off, probably because the harder steel is more brittle. Great vid - I was hoping for something more catastrophic but the burial was a fitting end.
RIP FUTC he wasn't lazy, just ill equipped from birth. The boy was tough though, never buckled under pressure. May he be more effective in the afterlife.
This video took "Giving them the benefit of the doubt" to a whole new level. They performed about as well as I assumed they would, but I'm also disappointed that they didn't explode
You should get together with the Finnish guy who breaks stuff in a big hydraulic press. You know an archaeologist is going to find those 100 years from now and wonder what superhuman strongman must have used them.
Just came to say, like some of the other people have, that your videos are becoming higher quality the more you do then and I enjoy watching them. Keep up the great work and entertaining content!
Hi I enjoy your common sense years of experience advice, always learning. These wildly exaggerated product claim shot downs are fun. I wasted hours over the weekend considering Wera tools until I came to my senses. The socket sets are probably good emergency tools for a vehicle but not everyday. The joker wrenches are thick and unlikely to be good for confined spaces. I came so close to drinking the koolaid
@@IratePuffin won't be anything to find, total destruction of a society brings Salvaging Metal for primitive tools for Cultivation and Melee Armaments...
You’re my new favourite channel on yt. You remind me so much of all the goofy shit me and my uncle would do at his auto shop when I was growing up. You’re the funniest guy on this platform :)
I guess the lesson of the day is don't try to cut a wrench with plyers because it doesn't work. Paul bearers please report to the grass knoll of tools🥺😭🤣
Not quite sure, but I've seen several comments saying how if it was a better aloy/higher carbon steel, they would've popped, and I agree. I can imagine that they are something close to A36[mild steel]. It's probably a little better, since they are still a "tool" but yeah. Probably not to far of from rail spikes or similar stuff.
It also depends on heat treatment of the tool. Harder steel is more brittle. However making tools reliably hard is difficult and costs a lot of money, easier to just temper the shit out of it to make it 'hard enough.' Downside is, this has negative effects durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. You can get some petty good tools out of medium carbon with a good heat treat. But, being mass produced and chinese, little care is put in.
I don’t even care wha you upload I genuinely just enjoy being you in this parasocial relationship You remind me of the uncle I always wanted and I’m glad to be here watching you talk shit about bull shit tools and then break tf out of them or fly drones keep up the great work!
I feel like this is one of those tools you leave in a glovebox or a back seat that you never think of using but when you really need it it pays for itself
I'm actually impressed with those pliers. A hell of a torture and they bent a little, better than the shit Snap on ones, I break them on just wire. I mean the ads for these are shit but if used for their purpose, they would be great lineman pliers.
@@TheLongDon bending is fine when you use this kind of force. Bending when squeezing in hand is bad no hand tool is made to resist this kind of torture.
@@hommie789 The reason tools bend vs break is based on the steel and whether its hardened. Most high quality tools will be better, hardened steel, whereas lower quality tools will be just regular steel. There is no world where you get both hardened steel and be able to bend without breaking. Hardened steel will shatter as opposed to breaking, as it's tougher but more brittle.
Even though I knew better. I was secretly hoping the wrench would ping and a piece would rocket out through the side of the van taking a window out the wife’s car with it. So much for hoping the FUTC was gonna be the MOAP. Congrats on the commitment to see the job through sir
I love how you just produced this video in your work van, with whatever you have there! Great video, keep it up! And i do like ‘em a bit longer, so I am glad you didn’t go for this one to be shortie!

I forgot how freakin hilarious this was. It might have been kind of cool to frame the pliers along with the wrench that defeated them in this epic bout, but honestly your ending is awesome. I never looked at the advertising material for these pliers - maybe they state that they are unbreakable but not unbendable. That would be almost honest advertising.
Another cool video testing those pliers!.. love the addition of the funeral at the end, was expecting it to cut to you violently throwing them in a trash can then slamming the lid down lol, would love too see you pressure test other stuff and see if they explode!.... 👨🏭👍
Sitting on a stump in my woods watching the grave being dug. The music jerking tears out of my face while squirrels, deer, small birds are all hugging together watching the results of your inhumane pliers torture being put to rest. I will water the graveyard of my chainsaws today.
I will say the ability to resist catastrophic explosive failure and result in just bending is impressive. I'd buy one as a pair of pliers and use the cutter on basic automotive wiring. Passes in my book but I'm not in construction.
Had the pliers been a harder steel, then they definitely would've exploded. The funeral service was beautiful. 🤣
