Although that lighter was pretty cool. It would prolly cost me more to build that sucka then to just go buy a new one. But good trick if im out in the boondocks.
I also noticed something, it’d make far more sense for your “handyman”, or contractor, to want you to know these. So they can charge you thousands of dollars to repair the explosion you created in your home.
When I saw my handyman hook my refrigerator up to a pencil, at first I was skeptical, but then he referred me to this video and I've been assured that he's a professional after all.
You misunderstand, the pencil isn't being used to transfer charge. The graphite is a good resistor, so they're using it to generate heat to use a soldering iron. Actually a pretty cool trick for if you're lacking the actual tool.
I watched my grandfather in Pennsylvania cut tops off glass gallon jugs this way using kerosene & string. When the fire burned out, he tapped lightly around the string line with a small hammer. The top usually broke off clean. He put the body of the jug upside down over his rose bushes to protect them through the winter. I loved that ol’ guy!
I'm going to try it one day but I can't even cut flat cheap window glass with a 25 dollar glass cutter so I doubt if I can do it but it won't stop me from trying

That's a great way to fry your usb adapter, Shorting the leads to make that soldering iron tip heat up requires a ton of current. Even on the lower power end, a soldering iron would require 20W to be dissipated. From a 5 volt usb supply that would mean 4 amps of current is required, when most usb adapters are rated between 1 and 3 amps. This is disregarding power losses throughout the length of the tip and contact resistances at the terminals.
As someone who has seen a lighter explode when chucked at the ground, that seems like an awfully dangerous project to do when you could just buy a refillable lighter.
.05 mm of flint on that lighter it will stop sparking before it runs out of butane and the screws cost more than the lighter I didnt watch just commenting on the thumbnail lol

People don't need handymen any longer. The Electrical Engineer can do anything on the three-day weekend. Let's see: make $100k to $400k for the Man; make $10/hr on weekends.
I'm reminded of advice by Father Guido Sarducci, who said you can make an emergency umbrella with a garbage bag, a hulahoop and a stick. "So if it's raining and you don't have an umbrella, but you do have, you know, a garbage bag, a hulahoop and a stick....".
A far simpler and easier way to twist wires is if you have a keyless chucked drill, put both, or as many as you need, into the Chuck, tighten it down, and spin! I used that all the time doing car stereo installs. No need to drill out a piece of wood. And if you’re able to drill out the wood, then you’ve clearly already got the drill. Try it!
Or a small Shepard's hook of like t-grid wire, chucked up in the chuck. You don't have to chuck and unchuck. You just spin, pull off, move to next set.
Boy oh boy, if my handyman found out I figured out how to make a soldering iron out of a pencil, piece of wire, and a usb connector…. He’d be soooooo pissed!
I'm pissed as a handyman that I have been using quality store bought soldering irons. when I could have been making a superior one with just a pencil broken charger and a piece of copper wire.
Who are these handymen that don’t want us to know these secrets??? How can we punish them?? I suggest we make a lot of crazy Vic lighters to show them who’s the boss!
The reason handymen don't want you to know this is because literally every 'Tips & Hacks' that was shown was just a really inefficient way to go about it
youre saying working 1 hour at mcdonals to buy a cheap solder iron is more efficient then making one out of household products? hmmm maybe , but then you gotta write a resume, apply a bunch of times, buy some clothes, wake up couple hours early , or you could have just turned that pencil and wire on your desk into one...? i dunno... close call.
What do you mean? Making a custom wood bit for your drill to twist 2 over stripped wires and leaving them exposed is much more efficient than a wing nut

Now I know how to give my $1.69 lighter a second life. All I need is: $0.32 screws, $0.97 baking soda, $7.99 mini bench vise and $5.54 9v battery. p.s. I can borrow screwdriver from my friend or use dime because finger nails don't work
Very much so. All of them are more trouble than they are worth, some downright dangerous. Hack a staircase into existence, then the handyman might be scared :D

I've seen soldering done with nothing more than a bic lighter. Folding the finger guard up and over the flame. Inmates are way more efficient with these hacks.
A few conundrums arrise for me. For instance, the soldering iron pencil subject; is that just an extreme low melting temperature solder? Usb power supplys depicted max out at 5 amps ? roughly
Agreed. Plus different varieties of copper line have different resistance (ohms) values depending on the purity of said copper. A power or adapter source could possibly overheat.
@@ufafgd The graphite is the heating element, the copper is just to transfer the heat and hold the melted solder. You are looking at about 10 Watts of power.
Now I can toss out my pencil soldering irons and make one out of a pencil. Genius, never would thought of that.. Also can use pencil lead for cutting metal but I would have to make a video to show how it's done..
I'd much rather have a conversation with the person who made the lighter than all the fcking smart-arsed dullards who are criticising and saying you should just buy a lighter.
You spend more money to refill that lighter with your inefficient "trick" that only works 1 time, than just buying a refillable one with a brutane can to refill it a dozen of times
The freaking hydrogen lighter is genius that is just pure genius I mean of course I would never do it because a lighter across a dollar but it's still unbelievably cool that they were able to do that they didn't need to drill the sideways holes though there's a space at the top
I would imagine that the water is unlikely to reach up higher enough to cross over through the space at the top. (there has to be some room above the water for brown's gas to accumulate)
The lighter hack was too much effort for too little worth..........but, the soldering pencil was very cool and interesting; provided u find a powerful enough source of current for it. Anyways ur videos are very entertaining and informative. Keep it up 👍
it won't last it's too bulky the graphite will melt and/or break as the slightest torque.. and it's 5 volts at no more than 2 amps. no way that'll get up to 450 to melt 40/60
*You should try it right now and plug it into any computer you own. Come back and tell us how Excellent and Fantastic it worked before your computer/laptop died.* 🖕
To ensure you get success.... Use extremely cold water for immersing the bottle after using the string burn method. It is actually the extreme difference in temperature that causes the glass to contract in the cold.

Other than cutting the glass bottle This is more like a video of how people do things that don't have the proper tools but are creative AF 🤣😂🤣
And the glass bottle trick almost never works
Sir, you are make a very good video. You will be more successful with this hard work.....
are make?

A few conundrums arrise for me. For instance, the soldering iron pencil subject; is that just an extreme low melting temperature solder? Usb power supplys depicted max out at 5 amps ? roughly
Agreed. Plus different varieties of copper line have different resistance (ohms) values depending on the purity of said copper. A power or adapter source could possibly overheat.
@@ufafgd The graphite is the heating element, the copper is just to transfer the heat and hold the melted solder. You are looking at about 10 Watts of power.
My dad is a handyman and I asked him how he feels now everyone knows?
He hasn't been able to get out of bed for the last fortnight.
Finally, I can now join the A Team and use my skills as a CV
You got every handyman here to California fuming with this video. They don't know what they're gonna do now that all these secrets are out. 😱😱
I have a very nice soldering iron , thanks anyway
The hydrogen lighter was lit.😄
It sure was
Lit erally
Absolutely great❤️
Thank you!!

Yo that pencil soldering iron is on some Tony Stark levels brah.
Now I can toss out my pencil soldering irons and make one out of a pencil.
Genius, never would thought of that..
Also can use pencil lead for cutting metal but I would have to make a video to show how it's done..
I've tried the last one five times before this video and none worked good enough but the lighter one really is like a lot of work for the little flame
I'd much rather have a conversation with the person who made the lighter than all the fcking smart-arsed dullards who are criticising and saying you should just buy a lighter.
yes, cause im sure my handyman doesnt want me to know how to cut a coke bottle in half
The lighter is cool and all, but that gas is a mixture of both hydrogen and oxygen so it could potentially blow up in your hand.
What, you think that cheap lighter doesn't have a back-flow arrester?
Awesome stuff....thank you for the video..
Props on the hydrogen sulphide lighter mad creative and a green alternative for butyl style fule
When I showed my handy man this he smashed my computer and ran off because he knew the jig was up.
Then he fixed it with a pencil and USB plug. 🤣
You spend more money to refill that lighter with your inefficient "trick" that only works 1 time, than just buying a refillable one with a brutane can to refill it a dozen of times
I just pay my handyman to go buy me a new one.
That's amazing. The soldering Iron from a leaded pencil. Amazing channel and great "tips"
Wonderful! There are so many ideas, and they're all realized.
A new discovery!
The freaking hydrogen lighter is genius that is just pure genius I mean of course I would never do it because a lighter across a dollar but it's still unbelievably cool that they were able to do that they didn't need to drill the sideways holes though there's a space at the top
I would imagine that the water is unlikely to reach up higher enough to cross over through the space at the top.
(there has to be some room above the water for brown's gas to accumulate)
The lighter hack was too much effort for too little worth..........but, the soldering pencil was very cool and interesting; provided u find a powerful enough source of current for it.
Anyways ur videos are very entertaining and informative. Keep it up 👍
it won't last it's too bulky the graphite will melt and/or break as the slightest torque.. and it's 5 volts at no more than 2 amps. no way that'll get up to 450 to melt 40/60
@@chuckholmes2075 How does this melt graphite? Graphite doesn't melt at atmospheric pressure, is sublimates at 6254 degrees F. (3457 C)
Inventing DIY Soldering Iron is simply fantastic. Excellent
*You should try it right now and plug it into any computer you own. Come back and tell us how Excellent and Fantastic it worked before your computer/laptop died.* 🖕
@@ftswarbill learn some things the hard way eh?
@@zoidzoid1995 *Nope just an engineer that knows a little common sense.*
I think a dead short to make the soldering iron would kill that charger in 2 seconds.
$5.50 for a soldering iron at harbor freight, less elsewhere I'd bet.
@@billp4 I know. I'm laughing at a lot of these comments. I'm sure these videos are popular in penitenturies
بارك الله فيك وحفظك أينما كنت سيدي
Soooooo many things in such short time!!!! *All* of them useful. Thank you!
You got to be careful I think with that lighter you're actually creating hydrogen it could explode in your hand.
So I can make a soldering iron out of a pencil and pretty much use that to make other contraptions. Interesting.
I cant tell you how many times I've tried the bottle string thing and never got it to work one time
To ensure you get success....
Use extremely cold water for immersing the bottle after using the string burn method.
It is actually the extreme difference in temperature that causes the glass to contract in the cold.
@@alap1983 I understand the physics I did several methods I just cant get it to work
I suggest getting another hobby.

That lighter 'tip' had me laughing SO HARD... Sorry, can't type, still laughing. SO ABSURD.
On that lighter I’m reminded of the old expression - _Who breaks a butterfly on a wheel?_ -
Going to ridiculous efforts to achieve very little.
Using an elephant gun to shoot mosquitoes
The correct term is "Handymen". "Handyman's" is an indication of ownership, such as "the handyman's drill".
Making HHO inside a plastic lighter could explode, DANGER!
Brown gas I like making that gas just for fun and Then exploding bottles with it so I was thinking the same thing
