I use sait and norton they hold up better than the home center wheels
I would really like a test of tire air gauges.
rlund3 I think you need to narrow it down. Are we talking ones with tire inflator capability, gauge type, stick type, or even just the valve cap ones.
@@mattberg6816 He is always asking for ideas. Why not all of them, 4 different videos.
rlund3 agreed
This channel is about the only unsponsored channel that actually give useful advice on saving money, thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
Try Scotty,, he's not sponsored, he says.
AvE does this too, not the vs tests but good advice and tips.

great topic and video yet again, thank you
Mustie1, I love your channel! Thank you very much and looking forward to your next video!
Hey Mustie1 love your channel as well
Mustie1 can you give me a shoutout in your next video?
mustie!!!
My comment is not related to this video..
My query is-
Can there be a video on an normal and on a see through engine,
Where you run an engine on regular gasoline but supplied with,
1. Pure oxygen gas via air intake.
VS
2. Pure Hydrogen gas via air intake.
VS
3. Nitrox Oxide gas via air intake.
Keeping the pressure same.
Also, finding optimum output point for each gases.
Would love to see that.

BTW love your videos.
It’s September 2023 and I still go back to these videos because of the level of testing done. It’s the best around PERIOD.!!!! I don’t need every aspect of every product tested but when I want the BEST, I always come back to these videos because no one else does a better REAL LIFE TEST. Love this channel!!!❤
Thanks!
These videos are so valuable. I hope you are compensated for this priceless information.
Nobody but nobody gives such good facts.
Also I just realized you passed 500k subscribers!!! Well done! You deserve it.
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm could you please test drywall anchors
Thomas Hughes drywall anchors would be a good subject.
This guy deserves allot more subs but sadly there are few diy people now a days....
This video was perfect timing for me. :-) Helped me to make the right choice. Thanks Todd!
ElectronicsNmore, Thank you very much! I really enjoy all of your videos. The latest video on the lock was amazing! Thanks again
Same here, excellent video as always!
Can we get an updated version of this video please. Been using tons of cutoff discs and would love more brands. avanti, etc. also maybe a thinner steel. like steel studs for construction. thanks for awesome work
Thanks for the suggestion.
Extremely nice to come upon a video that is simply what one is looking for. A straightforward, objective analysis is almost impossible to find these days. Add one more subscriber to your list. Thank you!

Thanks for making these videos. I find myself watching your tests almost every time I get ready to purchase something. You do a great job with the way you set these tests up so that every test is identical.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Hello from one fan from tiny Azores! I love your cientific and unbiased reviewing. One idea, comparing orbital sanding discs, mesh ones versus paper ones. I've been making some research but cannot conclude anything useful, and due to be in a tiny island, only paper ones are available.
Thank you for your hard work!
I've said it so many times but you make the best videos on UA-cam. Project farm and AvE and two of my absolute favorite channels on UA-cam. I love learning and I love your attitude and persona. I've learned so much from your videos and appreciate all the effort and time you put into them, I havent seen anyone else who goes to such lengths to evaluate and compare things. I will always be a fan and wish you the best, good day.
Thank you very much!
Can you test torque wrenches to see if they're accurate?
Thank you for the video idea!
I second this. Just got done torquing my half shafts on my C3 corvette and used a cheap harbor freight one and felt like it wasn't accurate at 70lbs but I dont have another to compare it to. Thanks for bringing this up.
This is a great idea
Yeah, I'd like to see that too. Good idea!
That's an awesome idea!
Just a heads up, those diamond wheels that have slots cut into them can grab on thinner sheet metal with enough force to break someones wrist. Just ask my co worker!
Wow! Thanks for the heads up.
ouch I just felt the pain in my wrist from reading that
I'd have to imagine that 'technique' is a primary factor in preventing a slotted disc from grabbing thin metal. If he was cutting by pushing the disc *straight on* into the edge of the sheet metal, then theoretically it might be possible to push one of the disc slots into the sheet. The better technique would be to cut by running the disc *on top* of the sheet metal, only allowing the least amount of depth of the blade necessary to cut the sheet - i.e. only allowing the disc to cut 3/16" or 1/4" deep when cutting *on top* of 1/8" sheet metal for example.
I only use diamond blades now and yeah you gotta be careful,, but I've seen more harm done by the traditional abrasives so I'll stick to them even though my cuts are a little slower
@@jonathangarzon2798 *Lot slower.
Love these simple, straightforward tests.
Thank you
Seemingly simple. There's way more planning and time involved in these videos than I always thought there would be.
Harbor freight has multiple product lines, like Bauer and Hercules in addition to the usual Warrior. It would be cool to do a comparison test between consumable items like drill bits/blades/cut off wheels between the brands to see if they really are better or not.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm That would be great, because I have a set of the Hercules wheels and the warriors and I'm curious to see the results compared in a test like this.
I'm glad I found your channel. As a technician, your videos are very informative and educational. Keep up the good work!
Thank you
This guy deserves alot more subscribers
His content is seriously interesting, even my wife was watching
Thank you!
My whole family too because I have the remote😂😂😂😂
It's because of his hair. Can't keep my wife or 4 daughters away from his videos;-)
Did you catch your wife watching the AA battery video too?
Great work. You put a lot of time and energy into your videos and it shows. Very professional.
Thank you!
I don't how you could be any more precise on these tests, this is a great channel man!
Thank you!
Enough of these useful and informative videos, Run your mower on booze already
Gahaha! Yeah those were good content as well!
Nahhh, booze is for drinking or sipping. Well, I use a little whiskey on my steak while it's cooking but the rest is for drinking. With a splash of water, of course.
Little for the engine....little for the tester....little for the engine....little for the tester....
@@mikemead2315 You are correct, sir. For scientific comparison, of course.
Yup, if,,, you respect your liver.
Dang dude, slowly been watching through your videos because I find them informative and very well made! Huge props, I'm a fan! In addition I appreciate that you report real units and not only freedom units.. ;)
Thanks so much!
They are all REAL units.

Thank you
Your testing and evaluation techniques are simple, impressive and effective!
Thank you very much!
@@ProjectFarm Always one of the most unbiased reviewers. Here's a video idea, you should pick up a whole bunch of oil filter brands and types, test them, cut them open, and perhaps do a filter test by pouring oil through mixed with metal flanks or something to see how good each brand is at filtering. You could also test the oil flow/restriction through filters. Perhaps if certain types work better in cold starts or high temps. There are many videos that cut them open, but none go in depth with testing, like you do in your comparison videos. And with some many videos relating to oil or additives, it would be nice to see a fair filter comparison.
Thank you for going through all this trouble to provide honest review
You are welcome!
One of the best channel out there! Kudos to you mate and your continual commitment to your viewers👍🏽 You’re the type of guy anyone could have great yarn and share a beer with around a camp fire. Ever come to Australia.. I’ll be the first to offer just that!
Thank you!
Would love to see this test done again with 3M Cubitron, Norton BluFire, SAIT, Metabo, and maybe Walter? I think it would be a great companion to this video.
Thank you for the video idea!
Agreed. I've used Walters for the last 15 years, have been great. Just discovered the Cubitron cut off wheels a couple months ago. Really impressed.
Ditto for Abracs, Klingspor and Rasta
Industrial brand shoot out? @projectfarm
@@ProjectFarm Pferd and flexovit are very common brands here in australia that are often compaired to the 3M discs to look at as well.
3M Silver are the best abrasives I've ever used, though I've heard really good things about Walter.
Man! You broke half a million subs! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
Thank you!
Honestly, every time I consider buying a tool or something for a tool, I check here.
I need cutoff wheels for a project and you have ANOTHER very good comparison of the options!
Thank you! 👏👏👏
You are welcome!
Thanks for the video, my co worker and I where just having this discussion on which would last the longest, well you just solved the debate! Surprised on the diamond wheel how slow it cut. Where from Michigan so we use alot of wheels from Praxair gas, but make many stops at Home Depot Lowes Menards etc, now we know. Great videos buddy, keep up the good work!
Thanks!
One of the best channels on UA-cam!! You never disappoint!
Thank you!
EXCELLENT WORK AGAIN! Just what I needed today. Thank You Again
You're very welcome!
Love the videos. Real unbiased product comparisons with a scientific method to testing? what a genius format. I hope you would consider doing a video comparing automotive wiring crimping tools, small and large gauge both. Thanks for the videos!
Great suggestion! Thank you.
I’ve enjoyed watching many of your videos you really bring a thoughtful process to your testing platform and it is very enjoyable to watch.
Thanks so much!
Please make it a trilogy and test flap discs too! Even if you only test 40 grit from each brand, it would be nice to know where the sweet spot is in price/durability.
Thank you for the video idea!
Once again. Shared with my friends on Facebook.
This sort of thing is what we (broke fabricators) need to know.
Thanks man. Another great video.
Thank you very much!
Your comparisons are very scientific and well documented. Very good presentation and friendly manner. I just subbed. I appreciated the one on 2 & 4 stroke motor bicycle engines as well. Thank you, time well spent.
Thank you!
Love that Rube Goldberg setup. I had the same edger frame and now I wish I still had it. Nice test, great results, best test I've seen.
Thanks 👍
I love the new logo!
Thank you!!
How much did each cut cost?
Multiplying the price of each wheel times the percentage of the wheel used gives:
DeWalt = 1.49 X 10% = 15 cents
Makita = 1.99 X 12.5% = 25 cents
Harbor Freight= .78 X 41% = 32 cents
Diablo = 2.97 X 15% = 45 cents
Milwaukee = 2.70 X 31% = 84 cents
Helpful? I don't know, but another way of looking at it.
Love these scientific comparisons though!
Al Legory u
Definitely helpful. Numbers don't lie. By also factoring in time / labor cost, it looks like this:
Makita $0.36 @ $10/hr _ $0.46 @ $20/hr
DeWalt $0.41 @ $10/hr _ $0.67 @ $20/hr
Warrior $0.47 @ $10/hr _ $0.62 @ $20/hr
Diablo $0.55 @ $10/hr _ $0.64 @ $20/hr
Lenox $0.89 @ $10/hr _ $1.79 @ $20/hr
(Based only on time cost)
Milwaukee $0.97 @ $10/hr _ $1.11 @ $20/hr
3600sec. = 1hr.
Cut time in sec./ 3600 = cut time in hrs.
Cut time in hrs. X $/hr. = time cost
time cost + cost of percentage of wheel used = Above figures
Of course these are all only based off of the first cut. The smaller the wheel gets, the slower it will cut.
i.e. The Makita may end up cutting slower then the DeWalt after a certain number of cuts with both wheels.
Al, thanks for doing the math for us! My son was buying the cheapest wheels, this makes the Makita and the DeWalt look much better.
I was so impressed with the Makita wheel that came on my free-with-blower-kit grinder that I bought a 25 pack on Amazon for $ 30- but they're .032", which actually measures out as .043"! www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0199RA4UU That's $ 1.20 each. I'm actually still on my first wheel, but it's not my first choice for cutting because this method stinks up the place something fierce!
Note that Harbor Freight always has $5.99 coupon for 10 pack $0.60 x 41% = 24.6 cents. I might have to give Makita a try. I have always purchased Harbor Freight's cutoff's because all other discs costs dollars per.
All right! Always fair and unbiased testing and evaluations on this channel. Your mechanical test fixtures get it done! Off I go for price comparison on Amazon and Ebay! Thank you, Sir!!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
The Lennox blade I use on my circular saw, it does really well. Of course I use a bit more than 3lbs of pressure. The other cutting wheels you can feel them shredding as you cut.
As always, your videos are awesome! Very informative. Thanks for your time and effort in helping us make more informed decisions on the everyday tasks.
You are welcome!
lubricate it with wd40 while you cut
I believe cut off wheels are the wheels where most care should be used to select a good wheel. They consume fast and they can be the most likely wheels to fail. So skimping on them is not the best idea. This video was very helpful in determining that Makita makes some excellent wheels. Not only is it a reputable brand and company but the wheel performance and cost per cut is actually quite competitive as well. Thanks!
Thank you for the feedback!
Wow Diablo just consistently performs. They definitely source their products from good firms.
I know Freud makes the saw blades, but not sure who makes the cutoff wheels. Just says manufactured in Spain.
Just to note, Diablo also has a diamond wheel they claim lasts up to 100X as long. Probably still cuts slow though.
Amazing test and video as always.
Thank you very much! I've very impressed with the Diablo brand. They seem to do a terrific job ensuring that all of their products are worthy of the Diablo brand.
I have Diablo Diamond, it's amazing on thin materials like sheet metals, but slows to a crawl on thick plate steel.
There are pro/cons with wheels that wear... smaller they get the slower the cut/chance of failure.
I have both the diablo diamond blade and the lennox and I find them both to be about the same in speed and durability.
@@wobblysauce smaller the wheel faster the cut
I’m always amazed how you come up with all the different testing parameters. I know pure scientific testing is very difficult but you always come as close as possible outside a lab.
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm BTW, I wondered if the diamond wheels can be used with more force than the 'normal' cutoff wheels use/need? Could be that it will stand higher cutting force... just thinking.
Best guy on youtube, deserves big respect from consumers and companies everywhere for his diligenta and honest product reviews
Thanks!
Great video as always! Waiting for the Hand cleaner comparison, keep the good work up!
Thank you!
I bought the Makita wheels based on your recommendations. I am a scrapper and when cutting non ferrous they last virtually forever. They zip right through light steel. Very happy with them. Have you considered doing a video on 7 inch wheels?
Wow. I have a massive project and this helped me save time and money by having the best possible cut off wheel for my budget. Outstanding channel.
Thank you!
I love your unbiased testing, and removing variables such as the human factor.
Thank you!
Thank you for all of your hard work!
You are welcome!
I just can't imagine how much time it takes you to produce these videos. Between prep, testing and editing, etc.
Thanks for watching!
I searched for this video and watched it for the content because your tests seem pretty fair. Nice job. Strong recommend.
Thank you!
Todd thanks again for an unparalleled video. Thanks to you Ive purchased many tools and attachments knowing they perform better than their peers. How I wish you’d get kickbacks for this stuff!
You are welcome! If you purchase through the link I post in the video description, I do get a little.
@@ProjectFarm good to know! Thank you
It would be interesting to see how those wheels do cutting really hardened steel, or Stainless that work hardens like crazy.
Thank you for the video idea!
Anecdotally they do great. I used to do general apartment type maintenance and I used a grinder quite often. My favorite task was gutting through locks. The steel on some locks is hardened to the point that a hack saw can not even scratch it but a grinder with a cut off blade zipped right through them. I had hopes for the Lennox diamond blade . My experience with diamond blades was they were great for non metallic stuff but they were noisy and slow at cutting through metal. It looks like the Lennox metal diamond blade works about as well as regular diamond blades at cutting through metal. that is to say poorly.
One thing I used my cutoff saw for was cutting diamond lath. Cutting diamond lath with tin shears is a slow annoying job. grinders with cutoff blades work really well.
@@ProjectFarm In next video can you use bosch cutoff wheel? Because i use this one and don't know is good or no :D
@@mitsyyyy Try the other Makita wheels, Makita 724115-A-10, they are made in Germany, not China like the ones tested here
@@davefoc what brand and or type of metal cutoff wheel do you recommend for cutting off locks? I have a 4 1/2 brushless cordless angle grinder and need it strictly for cutting locks- any advise or suggestions?
Awesome video! I have customers ask me this all the time.
Thank you!
Man... your video’s are SOOO informative and fun to watch. Cheers
Thank you
You always make such quality videos and have come up with some great tests for every product you use in your videos! I think it would be an interesting idea to test how effective different brands of flame retardant clothing are for the job as well as how long they would last before becoming ineffective when exposed to high heat, Sparks,open flame,and anything else you can come up with for an ignition source! Thank you for all of the great content!
Yeah! I've set myself on fire more than once with a grinder!
I dig the newer and even more improved logo! Matches your video style better I think. :)
Thank you very much! You've got a great logo too.
@@ProjectFarm I feel it needs an update, and will get one soon like yours, but much appreciated. :D
Nice job!
And it kind of confirms what I wrote about the grinding wheels. Cheap and fast wears off fast, mid range is a trade off between speed and durability and the top wheel is fast *and* durable, but costly.
The diamond wheel seems to be best at cutting thin sheets, but 5 minutes for a piece of steel? That is a point where taking energy costs into account starts to make sense.
Tbh, I miss the videos where you try something completely pointless and destructive but fun and informative nonetheless, like feeding dirt to an engine without an air filter or so. What about speeding up an ice cold engine (dry ice cold at -80 °C) with pure ether and see what happens.
Thank you very much! I've got a fun video planned for 1 April.
I do enjoy the fun videos, but videos like this one are what I like most. This great guy is saving us time, money, and frustration when choosing what brand works best and last longer. I'm so thankful for these videos. I'd like to see a video on metal cutting Hacksaw blades. My dad did a lot of metalwork and preferred Nicholson.
@@ProjectFarm hmm, not sure if you're gonna fool us and not have a video/or a video of nothing or really have a serious video on the april the first ;)
Jontes TechTips he said it’d be fun before April first, so I doubt he’s going to pull a super cereal one out of the hat.
The makita won, and was middle cost.
Will be recommending Makita and Diablo to people, for sure! Thank you for the video, always a real treat while filling in on some weekend overnights at work - don't worry, I got all my primary work done already :)
Awesome! Thank you!

Great work as always! I would definitely like to see round two. I have been a welder for over 25 years and would like you to also use our industry standards. My go to is always the Walter zip cut there are many others including Norton and 3m. Thanks for the great channel!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
would like to see which plastic gas tank repair works best including the super glue and baking soda trick and congratulations on the 500,000 you would deserve that for sure
Thank you for the video idea!
Good idea! I've always thought those were gimmicky but maybe not.
Try heat gun to semi melt (weld), a scrap of similar PE over the leak. IE, red plastic container scrap over a hole in a red container.
Buy a new tank. None of them are worth a crap!
I wouldn't even necessarily be using it to repair a tank...theres lots of uses that it could be applied to.

Thanks!
Just came here to decide which grinder wheel to get. This video is 4 years old and it is still relevant and helpful. Thanks for the info. Getting that diamond blade (tho a diamond blade showdown would be a really interesting vid also) for cutting up an old 98 chevy c/k 1500.
You are welcome!
This was a very helpful video! Thanks!
*video idea* I would love to see a comparison of different bits (carbide, diamond, spade, hole saw) drilling through tile. Which type works best and lasts the longest?
Thank you for the video idea!
Great video! I use cutting wheels, aka "death wheels" on 100% of my fabrication projects solely because I'm too cheap to buy a portable band saw and the torch is too messy. I have used the Diablo wheels with great success but I prefer the threaded screw on type disc. They are far less likely to come apart and send shrapnel whizzing past your head at the speed of sound. I "acquired" some German made PFERD wheels from work and the quality is outstanding.
Thanks for sharing.
Try Metabo wheels.
Is there a thread on cut off wheel for the 41/2 in grinder, I've been using the blank arbor wheel with the thread on washer thing, id love a thread on cut wheel like the grinder stone and flapper wheels.
These videos really help me make up my mind on what works best for me, Thank You
Glad to hear it!
Yet another awesome, useful video! Thank you! Saving us time and money through your efforts!
Thank you very much!
Great video- it lured me into watching some of your other vids! Great stuff! Hey did you make the grinder holder or where can I get one? Thanks from Missouri!
Thank you very much! II made the grinder holder
Man! I remember when you only had like 6k subs! I was here super early. Never once have I missed a video! Keep up the great work by good sir!
Thank you!
You are doing high quality reviews man. I like your vids a lot!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear!
Awesome video, the price per cut perspective is a great angle to consider when comparing different brands, especially with different shelf prices
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy how creative and accurate your test methods are. As a welder I use cut-wheels daily, I would really like to see a comparison of higher quality wheels. Walter vs 3M cubitron vs CGW abrasive
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ProjectFarm yes, what he said. Including for us hobbyists, cost of consumables isn't the deciding factor. 3M sure make some crazy claims for the ZirconII's. I wonder if it's fact...
My wife works for a welding supply company and said the same. In particular she suggested flexovit.
Norton, Walter, pferd are what shops use..This is all Home Depot stuff
Great test, again! How about bench grinder wheels.
Your test jig is worth building as a "poor mans" band saw for cutting steel rod and bar stock. I learn so much more from farmers than I could ever acquire in any given technical college. Between your channel and others like Musty's, Tarryl fixes all; I can darn near fix or build anything in my garage that life throws at me. Thank you!
Thank you very much!!
Love your channel. Real world experience that just happened tonight so I came back to rewatch this. I'm cutting out the heater channels on a 68 Ghia. I started off with the Diablo wheel and they chewed up really quickly. Switched to the Warrior wheel and the wear was about the same, maybe slightly better. Pretty disappointed that the extra money for the Diablo didn't translate into durability for me. I'm thinking on the thin metal I might be better off with the Lenox. Worth a shot. Thanks for your channel, great stuff.
Thanks for the feedback.
Dang, that's impressive. Great job, and congrats on over half a million subs.
Thank you very much!
I understand this is a lot of work, and you definitely do this type of unbiased testing better than most, but for a wheel that changes in diameter as it's used, I feel like 3 cuts per wheel and an average cut time would have been more telling. I would be willing to bet that some of the faster wearing wheels would slow down substantially on subsequent cuts . (I know this test happened months ago 😭, still working through the back catalogue)
Very true.
Why do I keep coming back to this channel? Addictive! Nice job! You are entertaining and Informative.
Glad you enjoy it!
I love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them. I love my $.99 Warrior wheels.
Glad you like them!
I would love to see you test the Dremel-type cutoff wheels, sanders, etc...
Thank you for the video idea!
They're great, but they break so easily!
@@kenmore01 Again down to quality, the stock cutting wheels i got with my dremel snapped near instantly after touching metal, some cheapo silverline wheel I bought a 30 pack for 4 bucks lasted an entire project with still usable material left and no snapping. I also bough a 6 pack of diamond wheels for 5 bucks but haven't received them yet to test
@@AntaresSQ01 Where did you buy the silverline wheels? That sounds great!
I know the stiffness of the cutoff wheels causes the issue. They are strong, but any sideways force makes then break.
Pretty sick of it, TBH. I prefer a metal cutoff wheel or many other options. The Dremel cutoff wheels are, in my opinion, cut off!!
@@kenmore01 As anticlimatic as it sounds... Ebay. I'm not sure if it will let me link it here but I'm in the UK so depending on where you live might not be available or have postage fees:

I really wonder how different loads on the grinder would have affected the speed of cut and material loss, especially with the diamond wheel (maybe you'd just have to increase the load with the diamond wheel to make it cut considerably faster - I know, then you'd have to do the same with other wheels, but I don't think their increase in cutting speed with higher load would be linear (at a certain load the speed would have probably even decreased, due to formation of glazing on the standard wheels, but diamond wheel can probably take much more load as it can withstand higher temperatures and diamonds are also cooled by metal, which is a better heat conductor than just the standard wheel by itself, so it's harder for diamonds to become dull). Just my guess, maybe I'm wrong.
Great point. Thank you
I went through a lot of cut off wheels and decided to try the Lennox diamond wheel. Used the diamond wheel for about a year (occasional use) and finally wore out the diamonds. I did buy a new one, but have found that using a hack saw was usually faster than using the angle grinder and a diamond wheel. I now only use the diamond wheel if I have very long straight cuts to make. I like the scientific way you do your testing keep it up, great video, thumbs up.
Great feedback. Thank you
Omg thank you for doing this I wondered this the other day. You are awesome!
Thank you
Can you test batteries in cold weather to see what battery performs the best when cold? I notice some perform better but how much power do you lose. Thanks love the videos
Thank you for the video idea!
Lithium AA's in the trail cameras in winter and temperature sensors in the freezer. All of the others lose voltage in the cold and don't perform well.
You should do an engine race. This race would consist of 2 engine inside of a large circle on a flat surface. Which ever engine vibrates it self out of the circle first wins.
Thank you for the video idea!
How about Tether cars with briggs/pred engines? :D ua-cam.com/video/61DUJ1KQ35E/v-deo.html
Yeah I guess this can be a which engine is smoother test. If you want the smoothest engine.
Your Mums HITACHI haha lel
I was sad to find during a search for a good angle grinder you didn't have a video on them! Only found this video. You normally have videos for all my searches! Hope you do one in the future
Thanks for the suggestion!
Love your videos, straight to the point and objective!
Idea: impact drivers
Thank you for the video idea!
GREAT cost analysis in the conclusion, would be useful to get $ to $ in the other products? Thanks for fine video- Need to get a Project Farm T-shirt, uniform blue/gray is OK but misses opportunity for additional marketing and cool logo?
Thank you very much! I'm working on t-shirts and hats. Thanks again
Check out demoranch he'll make t's and hats for you
@@ProjectFarm I recommend Bunker Branding
Just an FYI, Bunker Branding is Demolition Ranch's t-shirt business. Seems to be good stuff.
@@ProjectFarm would love a Project Farm t-shirt and hat. I definitely know what I would be getting for my brother in law and nephew next year for Christmas. They loved the Send It! Larry t-shirts I bought them lol
It would be interesting to see different radiator fluid brands, water/glycol mixtures, straight distilled water, and water with "water wetter" additive in terms of price and heat dissipation properties.
In auto racing, everyone says the thermal transfer properties of straight water plus the surface tension breaking aspect of water wetters leads to more efficient heat dissipation.
Thank you for the video idea!
Actually it doesn't matter, the antifreeze inky keeps the water from freezing and raises the boiling point
@@richterman3962 The boiling point isn't a concern if you have proper cooling and a system that can handle the pressure - see auto racing.
Awesome test and appreciate all the effort to make it as objective as possible.
Thank you
Liked the side by side shots, great video!!
Thank you
