Try wrapping your teflon tape in the same direction that the fitting screws on for a more secure and neater connection. The price of that toolbox would make me worry more about the box than the tools. Five gallon bucket with a lid seat for the win!
Dude, it is so cool watching your place steadily becoming a legit homestead from back when you had just bought it. And yeah my experience with all things Yeti has been very good, rarely any issues. Personally I prefer to spend extra on something I know will be around a real long time instead of the frustration of having something break down or fall apart right when I need it most. At least so far, Yeti has proven themselves each time.
I actually like the removable Leatherman cutter inserts. When they get chewed up a bit I can remove them and sharpen them on my bench grinder. Just grab them with a pair of vise-grips and match the angle.
Hey Pete ! Always enjoy your lifestyle videos. Seeing the pups always a plus ! Glad for the save at 6:36 ! Sometimes there is too much muck for me to use the knife in my pocket !
A buddy of mine has a go box 30 lashed to a 4wheeler and has been using it for about 18 months for maintenance and odd jobs around his piece of property as well as taking it along on camping & fishing trips. So far it’s holding up very well despite being left out in the sun pretty regularly. No UV degradation.
Thanks Pete! I have similar issues in my yard and I also have a gear box, but a very crappy one by comparison. Contents are virtually the same though. We are backyard irrigation technicians…
A tubing cutter makes quick work of it when installing sprinklers, you just have to twist the tool as you cut. They're inexpensive, too. It would be nice if Leatherman took the toolset of the Rebar (which has tools that actually work good) added scissors then gave it the Free form factor. I'd be all about that.
It took me a while to be open to buying yeti stuff, but I have zero regrets for any yeti product I own at this point. Admittedly, that openness was precipitated by people dramatically shooting their yeti products up on social media bc of some perceived political slight, but hey, turns out they make good stuff.
Hey Pete, this is your video, and I hate "you're doing it wrong" videos, but you're applying the teflon tape incorrectly. I know because the company making my brass fittings for my water purification in house told me the same thing. You wrapped clockwise. When you applied the fitting the tape began to unwind. The tape is supposed to wrap counterclockwise (the same direction the fitting tightens) so that the tape tightens as the fitting tightens. Also, they told me I should only use one layer. Sorry to be critical. You do whatever makes you happy! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!
I said the same thing, however, he can save himself the headache and just get some thread dope and apply it any direction he wants, as it's basically a paste. The only purpose of Teflon tape is to add lubrication to the threads being threaded together. Its NOT to prevent leaking.

Some tip-downer will be along shortly to recommend an altoids tin survival kit.
If you squash it down you can fit one slice of bread in an altoids tin
Just carry tip down. Them all you need to survive is wet bread
The ability to stand on it is a big plus. You never know when you'll need a bit of extra reach.
Absolutely loving this kind of "around the house / Pete's frequently used tools/objects" videos! Keep it up!

Uncle Randy tip #217: Apply your Teflon tape WITH the threads. Righty tighty with your Teflon tape.

I’ve been using the same old aluminum military surplus ammo box for that task now for 20+ years...still lots of life left.

Your dogs are growing up beautifully ❤
i watch most youtube before going to bed. so a video to put me to sleep is appreciated
I remember my grandfather burning polystyrene in the backyard incinerator..... good times.
My "garden took box" is also an esky. Well played friend.
Nothing feels better than putting my tool in a robust box.
Man you always crack me up. Even about something like gardening. You're doing awesome, you deserve way more subs.
No garden, but that would make a great boat box. 😎🍻✌️

They make perfect cuts too. I have all kinds of tubing cutters. I was a pipefitter for 10 years before I got on a local chemical plant down the road.

I like Yeti products but AUD180 for a toolbox is a bit steep for me.
Thanks Peter. Yeti does make good products. 🔪🎸
As always, the best knife channel!
They do toolboxes? Will have to look into that.
So are the golden and the doodle now locked in the yard? And not in the house?

YETI is awesome! I own way too many of their products than I need for sure! But when you want the best, go for the best!
Expensive 🤯
Just got a black golden doodle puppy guessing that’s one of the dogs I saw was 😜
I always used to lose my whatnot tools...
Mate, what do you do for a living?
Why did you get the white?
Pete obviously still has the PM2 tip down cuz he’s wrapped the teflon tape in the wrong direction! Ugh! 🤪
Yeah my tool box need a replacement...
Nice box blah blah yadda yadda....but how much sisal will it cut? 😉
Love the psycho American pyromaniac voice.
😂
Early bird
How on earth is a piece of plastic that expensive ?
Yeti is great if you like being ripped off. $70 for a bucket comes to mind. Never.
