Is Sandro the Hispanic(?) chap guy with the neck tattoos? If so, he has another fan here in the U.K. he knows his stuff, and is funny at the same time. Smart and funny. The best combination.
I did telecom engineering up until '08, and for ages meth heads stealing cables was a huge issue. They'd chop them off the poles, take them up a logging road, dig a pit with a channel for the copper then burn off the coating. You'd wind up with 100's, or 1000's of people out of service. Here in Oregon they made it a requirement that you provided a drivers license when dropping off copper. It almost stopped completely.
lmao when he said "and thats how you steal gas from your neighbour" i died the fact that the the more you know card popped up made it 100x better hahaha
Sandro talking about ruining your pedicure while pulling an oil plug just shows that he's such an amazing mechanic that he is out here changing oil with his feet, incredible!
Right but I feel like that hack was made for people who aren’t mechanics but choose to do their own oil change. Like a lady who got her nails done but does her own oil changes.. that would be great for her etc. so it’s a hack, but for mechanics it’s wack
I feel like people who do the wrench on wrench crime have never thought of getting a long hollow pole and sticking it over the wrench for leverage. It's a whole lot safer and you can get way more leverage because you can make the wrench essentially longer just by sliding it over the wrench. I've used this method quite a few times because I like to keep my fingers and finger nails and not get blood blisters for when the wrenches slip off each other.
I prefer to bust my knuckles, sulk for 5 minutes while throwing tools, spend 20 minutes finding the tools I threw and the rest of the day on that stupid 10mm socket.
The head/door opener thing works because the amount and shape of water in your head is roughly the right amount to act as an amplifier for the radio signal from the key fob. You can do the exact same thing with a gallon jug of water (or watery solution like milk, washer fluid, detergent, etc). Your head is essentially acting as an antenna for the signal.
I really like that you didn't just compile the stupidest things on the internet to flex on. The mixture of good ideas and bad ideas, the fact that some of the ideas are _almost_ good, all adds to your credibility and makes that the whole video more interesting.

For the oil one it would work great in desert places, I worked in a tire shop in phoenix and we had to do hot changes. One of the guys at the shop had a 3rd degree burn going from his hand all down his arm from doing them.
I know shops that won't let the mechanics, who started after 2012, touch/handle used oil without nitrite gloves. Insurance says it's been a proven cancer causing carcinogen since then, so it would open them up for future healthcare lawsuits.
3rd degree burns from oil just sitting in the sun? Bit hard to imagine oil getting that hot without the engine running, which is probably the only real reason it was hot enough to cause a 3rd degree burn.
I’ve used the double wrench, but never seen the triple! It’s like I always say: you can always get the job done with the right tool; but you can also always get the job done with enough of the wrong tools!
when i did some small landscaping/construction we’d always just use a metal pipe over the wrench for leverage, that way you don’t need to use a thick breaker bar in a tight space but you also don’t have to make a chain of tappet wrenches
13:00 Kyle Hill actually made a video on that specific topic; it actually works because the wavelength of the radio waves used in those keyfobs for your car are a similar ratio to the size of a human head, so providing a slight barrier that lines up with the wavelength amplifies the signal. Or something, it's been a while since I saw that one.
What you are observing is a true quantum effect. In short, the radiation emitted by the key causes the atoms in your brain (mostly the water) to oscillate. The net effect is range amplification. To describe this particular phenomenon it is useful to think of the matter in you head in terms of a waveform, not as as a particle. It works with a bottle or jug of water too.
I’m so happy to finally see someone acknowledge the key fob on your head thing. I’ve been doing that for over 10 years and people always thought I was crazy.
My dad was a truck driver for most of his adult life (he hauled cargo across most of Europe). When I was a kid, I would go with him for a week every summer holiday. I remember one time we were at the company's garage, and someone was re-grooving a tire. That destinct smell of molten rubber is something I will never forget. I'm reminded about it whenever someone is doing a burn-out. :)
Just discovered this channel a couple days ago. I've got to admit, I'm HOOKED! Totally subbed. Been turning wrenches for nearly 30 years and have never seen another channel like this.
12:30 Reminds me of a funny time where a friend of mine wanted to use his remote start to warm his car up but he was too far away to get it to work. We both happened to be sousaphone players (Tuba that wraps around you), so he looked up at the bell on his, touched the fob to the brass and started his car from a literal football field away.
Keep bringing Sandro back, dude's really entertaining. I wouldn't mind seeing him mixed into other videos/content as well. Just seems to have a strong, nice personality for the camera.
Someone told me that the air compressor hose siphon trick is very dangerous if you're doing it with fuel, because the compressed air creates a static charge in the hose. I don't need to explain what happens when you get a static spark in a fuel hose
I remember in my apprenticeship in metal works, the very first thing our instructor told us 16 year olds was: DO NOT PUT THE COMPRESSED AIR PISTOL IN SOMEONES BUTT! Horrible accidents happened! First lesson 😄
The flat tire hack with the air hose really works. I worked for a company that made tire repair products and I came up with a SKU that we sold in Walmart stores in the 1990s. It was a little pack to carry on motorcycles for tire repair, and one of the items in it was a hose like this. Since it was my idea, my picture was on the packaging. I was posing in front of a bike while using the air equalizer hose. However, I used to joke that why would you take air from your other tire when there are thousands of other tires out there!
Pretty sure the zip tie on the drain plug isn’t for keeping your hands clean. It’s for keeping the drain plug from falling into the oil catch pan if it slips out.
For the last one, I never knew tires had wires in them, until the guy screwed up my tire realignment. Within two days, I had burned through the rubber on those tires, and when I went to check them, I got pricked by a piece of wire.
The reason why car keys get more magical distance when you press them against your head is because human body is a very water dense, so you create mini dielectric resonator in your head. Water reacts in special way when we pass electromagnetic waves that can be helpful to make your signal travel further. Its usually done with head because head has least obstructions while your body is much thicker and can be obstructed by other objects, but logic is same since you have water everywhere.
That key fob to your head thing is legit. It's because of the water content in your head, it helps to amplify the radio waves. Same trick works with a water bottle instead of your head too!
Water doesn't amplify radio signals it absorbs them! That's how your microwave heats your food. If water would amplify radio signals it would be energy from nothing and the oceans would be boiling. This "hack" is complete nonsense.
At 9:48 where they show the guy using three wrenches, there's a safer method that's been around for a long time. Get a chunk of steel pipe that can fit over the head of the wrench and use that to extend the handle. It's often nicknamed a cheater pipe because you're getting more leverage and as-such you're able to get a LOT of torque that you wouldn't have otherwise. I also say this because you could see in the clip that the middle wrench was flexing and I would be afraid of it snapping.
They also make leverage bars for wrenches that are flat and have two big teeth on the end that hold the wrench in. I use one all the time to break tie rod nuts.
13:30 I love how this is the third time I've heard Sandro reference Magneto in these channel. Ofc a mechanic's favorite superhero is the one with metal manipulation powers 😂😂😂
Being Generation X I have lived the birth of car security. 13 min into your video I have placed the car alarm fob to my chin to find my car from afar many times. This totally works! Sadly now I just check my phone to see where my car is. At least I can still use a paper map to find my way. great content fellas!
MY COUSIN HAD A 60SOME GALAXIE (HE GOT FROM OUR COUSIN, FOR A HALFBAG. THIS WAS IN THE LATE 70'S EARLY EIGHTIES) 3SPEED ON THE COLUMN,ANYTIME WE WANTED TO GO ANYWHERE, WE HAD TO POP THE CLUTCH. ID LOVE TO HAVE THAT CAR TODAY!
The remote unlocking thing is true. Jeremy Clarkson did it way back when on TopGear and at first I didn't believe him and then I tried it on my own car from over 100 meters away in pitch black abandoned airstrip at a festival and then i saw the blinkers light up, they previously werent and i wasnt moving at all.
Ya I’ve don’t this so many times. If you forget to lock the car and you go inside the house just put the FOB to your chin and it gives you more distance.
That ziptie on the oil drain plug: It's to make sure you don't drop the plug as it detaches as you're propably pushing on it to stop oil from pouring out before all the threads are cleared. I've dropped the plug a bunch of times. Can't imagine it being to just spare a few drops of oil on your hand.
I use the phone-to-head trick like the key fob one. It can help with a poor data signal enough to get necessary info. During Helene, I actually used this to get cell signal at home… it was too weak otherwise, but this enabled me to get outage updates for the power company.
8:20 guys that's not a siphon. That's a vacuum generator. When the compressed air blows through the very end of that hose it ends up pulling from the other end. That's actually creating a pump.
Another option for the bucket separation trick is to use water. Water doesn't compress, but it'll also find it's way into places. If you can blow air down into a stuck bucket, you can blast water down into the same place. So if you don't have an air compressor at home or lying around, you can crimp the end of a hose or use a hose nozzle and spray it at the seam where the two buckets are stuck together and you'll end up blasting enough water in there that it'll fill up, you'll be blasting more water in than it'll be able to push out on top of an empty vessel, like a bucket, will float on water if it's not compromised. So the water will try to find the easiest way out, which is not where it's coming in; oh hey, while it can't compress, it can shove this bucket that's limiting its space out of the way and make it float. But my point is that using water from a hose is essentially the same thing for those who don't have an air compressor and it's doing it with a "thicker" fluid than air. The key is that more fluid is being shoved into the space between the buckets through the tiny gaps that are there with more pressure and speed than the fluid is able to initially flow out of the same space.
I believe everything Sandro says because he looks like a mechanic/technician, not even sure what a mechanic/technician is supposed looks like, but if you gave me a room full of people and Sandro was a one of them, I’d pick Sandro.
12:33 - the "car-remote on your head" thing is 100% real. It works because your head is mostly made of water, and water can amplify the specific RF signals from key fobs. Here's a video from Kyle Hill ua-cam.com/video/ZrIf0PArZu4/v-deo.html It's super easy to test for yourself. Next time you park, walk away from your car and keep clicking the lock button until it stops responding; then put your key fob against your neck/head and try locking it again. Nine times out of ten, it'll work.
I agree! Essentially the cavities (not necessarily empty) in your body (in this case his head) act as a resonance chamber for the RF signal from your wireless remote. Cool hack!
If you're interested, Kyle Hill actually posted a video about a year ago explaining why it works. I had to go back and look but it appears to be called "Can Your Brain Amplify a Car Key?" I assure you, despite it's clickbait title and thumbnail, he does a good job explaining the science. Been about that time since I've seen it, but it has to do with the FOB's wavelength and how the human body is a multiple of that wavelength so we basically can act like an antenna.
@@jonpinkstonI was just about to comment this, when I used to have that fm transmitter and it was acting funny, it would sound better when I would get close to it while touching it. Interesting indeed.
For the hack at 6:54 I can see how it would be useful on very hot oil. I've worked at a shop where there was a "Fastlane" option where the customer would drive the car in and sometimes even then just wait in the lobby while we service the car, so we would put it straight on the hoist and drain it so the oil would sometimes be very hot so in that case it could be useful.
9:54 Surely, they have a steel pipe around that's big enough diameter to go over the open-ended wrench. So many less points of failure or potential pivot. So much safer and you don't lose energy with the bending wrenches.
When Justin asked if someone would be strong enough to pull the rope and start the car just made me imagine him pulling on the rope and ripping the car in half. "And that's how you take gas from your neighbor" That killed me.
The first time I changed oil I dropped the drain plug in the in the bucket and had to fish it out. The zip tie might be handy for some one who can't keep a grip on it.
13:40 key fob hack , i used to do it on my neck . when i was on 25th floor, to make sure i locked the car , and it never worked, but did all the time when touched on my neck ! i heard that the water content in your body !
At 7:52 the idea of the air hose nozzle and Black syphon hose is to create a vacuum from with air pressure. With the nozzle inserted into the hose at the opposing angle a vacuum will be created which will pull gas from the upper tank. The air hose should be turned off well before the gas enters the lower tank.
@11:55 instead of packing tape, it seems like silicone tape might actually be a sort-of long term fix for a broken boot. the silicone bonds to itself and is very elastic so it could probably last a while and definitely keep water out.
As a company driver, I pull down around $1,500 a week, running about 2,000 miles, get weekends, don’t have to worry about insurance, maintenance, permits, payments, or headaches. Spent 4 days with a seized hub in Mississippi earlier this year. Got breakdown pay for 4 days. Wasn’t what I would have made if I was running, but it definitely made sitting for 4 days a lot easier.
Here’s a hack that can really help: instead of push starting your manual in 1st gear, use second gear. It will require a lot less “force” to turn the motor over. Use this all the time, especially when forced to push start my car by myself 🥵
The key to the head hack works because the wavelength of the radio waves from the key are close to the resonant frequency of water molecules. The water in your head (there's a lot of it!) basically vibrates in the same frequency, amplifying the signal. You'd get the same affect if you held the key next to a bucket of water!
Sandro's cheeky little "that's how you get gas from your neighbors" killed me :D love that guy

@@derekeastman7771If you tell them they'd kill the person if they did that they're probably less likely to do it. Because that's honestly plausible.
Sandro shouting out the venturi effect, like carburetors rely on. Dude knows his stuff!
I think the reason for the zip tie on the cap for the oil pan was to help stop accidentally dropping it in the pan
I was coming to say this.
Yes, if it wasn´t for the fact he is actually tightening the thing (turning clockwise).
@@sjurgabrielI'm pretty sure the video just got flipped when he posted it.
the hack is good for hot oil, as it should be when doing a change.
@@sjurgabrielI am here to say the same thing. Looks to me like it was being tightened.
The flat tire hack with the air hose really works. I worked for a company that made tire repair products and I came up with a SKU that we sold in Walmart stores in the 1990s. It was a little pack to carry on motorcycles for tire repair, and one of the items in it was a hose like this. Since it was my idea, my picture was on the packaging. I was posing in front of a bike while using the air equalizer hose. However, I used to joke that why would you take air from your other tire when there are thousands of other tires out there!
Daaaaang my man broke out the Venturi effect. Knowledge is power and dude knows some things! Loving this channel. Thanks for working hard y'all.
Pretty sure the zip tie on the drain plug isn’t for keeping your hands clean. It’s for keeping the drain plug from falling into the oil catch pan if it slips out.
Same thought, kinda a good hack if you think about it.
@@munawerhayat-naqvi7409 weird, my hack is I just use my hands
Did oil changes 9hrs a day for seven months, i only see it being useful for when the plug is scorching hot, or for what Simon says
Was the drain plug in the clip reverse thread? He was turning it clockwise
@@nolanbroderick1234 you gonna zip tie every plug or stick a single brillo pad in the drain thing?
For the last one, I never knew tires had wires in them, until the guy screwed up my tire realignment. Within two days, I had burned through the rubber on those tires, and when I went to check them, I got pricked by a piece of wire.
"And thats how you siphon gas from your neighbor."

Truly appreciate Jobes genuine knowledge and understanding of each video👌🏼 as a technician it's appreciated
The reason why car keys get more magical distance when you press them against your head is because human body is a very water dense, so you create mini dielectric resonator in your head. Water reacts in special way when we pass electromagnetic waves that can be helpful to make your signal travel further.
Its usually done with head because head has least obstructions while your body is much thicker and can be obstructed by other objects, but logic is same since you have water everywhere.
That key fob to your head thing is legit. It's because of the water content in your head, it helps to amplify the radio waves. Same trick works with a water bottle instead of your head too!
Water doesn't amplify radio signals it absorbs them! That's how your microwave heats your food. If water would amplify radio signals it would be energy from nothing and the oceans would be boiling. This "hack" is complete nonsense.
At 9:48 where they show the guy using three wrenches, there's a safer method that's been around for a long time. Get a chunk of steel pipe that can fit over the head of the wrench and use that to extend the handle. It's often nicknamed a cheater pipe because you're getting more leverage and as-such you're able to get a LOT of torque that you wouldn't have otherwise. I also say this because you could see in the clip that the middle wrench was flexing and I would be afraid of it snapping.
The pipe over the wrench is known as a Polish torque wrench!
Depending on the size of wrench that could be a very large pipe.
They also make leverage bars for wrenches that are flat and have two big teeth on the end that hold the wrench in. I use one all the time to break tie rod nuts.
That “wrench on wrench crime” could kill you when one of those wrenches slips or breaks with all that torque on it.
Fixing vehicles is fraught with dangers sometimes. Still probably not the most dangerous job that day.
Lots of love for Sandro, but I genuinely love all of the mechanics from the series!
8:02 Thanks Sandro I knew i could count on your Business Tips in a time like this!
13:30 I love how this is the third time I've heard Sandro reference Magneto in these channel. Ofc a mechanic's favorite superhero is the one with metal manipulation powers 😂😂😂
Being Generation X I have lived the birth of car security. 13 min into your video I have placed the car alarm fob to my chin to find my car from afar many times. This totally works! Sadly now I just check my phone to see where my car is. At least I can still use a paper map to find my way. great content fellas!
the compressed air on the buckets trick also works for rubber handle bar grips! save yourself a ton of hassle
MY COUSIN HAD A 60SOME GALAXIE
(HE GOT FROM OUR COUSIN, FOR A HALFBAG. THIS WAS IN THE LATE 70'S EARLY EIGHTIES)
3SPEED ON THE COLUMN,ANYTIME WE WANTED TO GO ANYWHERE, WE HAD TO POP THE CLUTCH.
ID LOVE TO HAVE THAT CAR TODAY!
The remote unlocking thing is true. Jeremy Clarkson did it way back when on TopGear and at first I didn't believe him and then I tried it on my own car from over 100 meters away in pitch black abandoned airstrip at a festival and then i saw the blinkers light up, they previously werent and i wasnt moving at all.
Ya I’ve don’t this so many times. If you forget to lock the car and you go inside the house just put the FOB to your chin and it gives you more distance.
When I first heard about it the reason given was the water/fluid in your chest cavity and skull act as a magnifier for the waves
Yep. It’s a Top Gear hack.
If I remember correctly it's the water in your head and you can get the same result putting the remote against a jug of water.
I do this every time I need to find my car.
That ziptie on the oil drain plug: It's to make sure you don't drop the plug as it detaches as you're propably pushing on it to stop oil from pouring out before all the threads are cleared. I've dropped the plug a bunch of times.
Can't imagine it being to just spare a few drops of oil on your hand.
Could also be good for an in and out oil change shop, give your hand a little distance from the oil while it's still hot.
@@tristennichols1865 That does sound like a real thing as well!
I use the phone-to-head trick like the key fob one. It can help with a poor data signal enough to get necessary info. During Helene, I actually used this to get cell signal at home… it was too weak otherwise, but this enabled me to get outage updates for the power company.
I always hit the link button when Sandro's there! Dude is awesome. Everyone needs a Sandro in their shop 😂
Last time I was this early Science Garage was still being made
8:20 guys that's not a siphon. That's a vacuum generator. When the compressed air blows through the very end of that hose it ends up pulling from the other end. That's actually creating a pump.
Sandro is the boy, I bet he could tell some stories! 😂
Yes! Story time would be a great addition to this channel!
"You gonna fuck up your pedicure." Sandro a straight up G, lmao.
Another option for the bucket separation trick is to use water. Water doesn't compress, but it'll also find it's way into places. If you can blow air down into a stuck bucket, you can blast water down into the same place. So if you don't have an air compressor at home or lying around, you can crimp the end of a hose or use a hose nozzle and spray it at the seam where the two buckets are stuck together and you'll end up blasting enough water in there that it'll fill up, you'll be blasting more water in than it'll be able to push out on top of an empty vessel, like a bucket, will float on water if it's not compromised. So the water will try to find the easiest way out, which is not where it's coming in; oh hey, while it can't compress, it can shove this bucket that's limiting its space out of the way and make it float.
But my point is that using water from a hose is essentially the same thing for those who don't have an air compressor and it's doing it with a "thicker" fluid than air. The key is that more fluid is being shoved into the space between the buckets through the tiny gaps that are there with more pressure and speed than the fluid is able to initially flow out of the same space.
The one for the oil pan bolt, i feel like it kinda works to also make sure you don’t drop the bolt in the oil🤷🏻♂️
My thought exactly
If you do your own oil, then yeah maybe. If you are in the shop setting, then it's just a waste of literal time
@@BoomarangCometto be fair, I wouldn’t confidently tell any professional a hack, so I’m sure it’s intended for diy and at home stuff
That tire was 100% suspect. Pause it 15:23 and you can see the rubber peeling off of the original grooves lol
You can also see the small details that the tool would not have been able to make.
Yeah, I was looking for that comment. ;-)
/sign
Using Air to split 2 plastic parts like buckets is a hack I used in plastic molding to separate parts.
Yeah! I’ve seen it used for unmolding soft rubber or silicone items, too.
8:46 I think I could even look past the fact that Sandro is a real live vampire just because he probably turns any situation into a good time🤘🏼
This is fast becoming my favourite Donut production :)
3:21 classic father and i love 😂😂
"Cant separate a f*cking plastic bucket?.... no balls"
I appreciate having Sandro on more often but Imma need Paul too. I love his friendly vibe
Glad I just found this channel. What a fun and informative video! Love the mechanics here
The head/key fob hack def works I do it all the time, can’t remember where/when I learned about it😂
Sandro BLEW ME AWAY with the "Venturi Effect" knowledge. 😂
on god😂
ever seen a carburetor? basic school physics.
@dave161141 lol "you didn't know that, I knew that. I'm so smart".
@@DR-sv8ke nah this is a reach. if you've ever worked on a carburetor you know what venturi is. It's pretty basic mechanic knowledge.
@@CRneu cool story, man.
So glad this channel was created, seriously love this idea
I believe everything Sandro says because he looks like a mechanic/technician, not even sure what a mechanic/technician is supposed looks like, but if you gave me a room full of people and Sandro was a one of them, I’d pick Sandro.
12:33 - the "car-remote on your head" thing is 100% real. It works because your head is mostly made of water, and water can amplify the specific RF signals from key fobs. Here's a video from Kyle Hill ua-cam.com/video/ZrIf0PArZu4/v-deo.html
It's super easy to test for yourself. Next time you park, walk away from your car and keep clicking the lock button until it stops responding; then put your key fob against your neck/head and try locking it again. Nine times out of ten, it'll work.
Also I think you can use some water bottles
@@clion520 - yep, that should work too 👍 the main operating principle is the water and its amplification properties
I would love to see Jeremiah explain how that key fob hack works. Never heard of it until now!
I agree! Essentially the cavities (not necessarily empty) in your body (in this case his head) act as a resonance chamber for the RF signal from your wireless remote. Cool hack!
If you're interested, Kyle Hill actually posted a video about a year ago explaining why it works. I had to go back and look but it appears to be called "Can Your Brain Amplify a Car Key?" I assure you, despite it's clickbait title and thumbnail, he does a good job explaining the science. Been about that time since I've seen it, but it has to do with the FOB's wavelength and how the human body is a multiple of that wavelength so we basically can act like an antenna.
It uses your skull as an antenna, it works for things like weak fm and am signals too.
@Ryster's Tech I noticed that when I was younger if you grabbed your radio's antenna it would increase your signal.
@@jonpinkstonI was just about to comment this, when I used to have that fm transmitter and it was acting funny, it would sound better when I would get close to it while touching it. Interesting indeed.
7:17 LOL "you dont mess up your pedicure" this legend of a mechanic doing oil changes with his feet
For the hack at 6:54 I can see how it would be useful on very hot oil. I've worked at a shop where there was a "Fastlane" option where the customer would drive the car in and sometimes even then just wait in the lobby while we service the car, so we would put it straight on the hoist and drain it so the oil would sometimes be very hot so in that case it could be useful.
I usually just use a socket extension on a socket, keeps my fingers out of the way.
Its also useful for not loosing the bolt
Sandro: "And that's how you take gas from your neighbor" dude slays me
9:54 Surely, they have a steel pipe around that's big enough diameter to go over the open-ended wrench. So many less points of failure or potential pivot. So much safer and you don't lose energy with the bending wrenches.
When Justin asked if someone would be strong enough to pull the rope and start the car just made me imagine him pulling on the rope and ripping the car in half.
"And that's how you take gas from your neighbor"
That killed me.
"pulling on the rope and ripping the car in half"
You've watched too many Russian/Indian tractor fail videos.
The first time I changed oil I dropped the drain plug in the in the bucket and had to fish it out. The zip tie might be handy for some one who can't keep a grip on it.
Have to remember there's a weight of oil trying to push it out
I got a mechanic ad when I clicked this so neat
13:40 key fob hack , i used to do it on my neck . when i was on 25th floor, to make sure i locked the car , and it never worked, but did all the time when touched on my neck ! i heard that the water content in your body !
You guys should do a “customer states” series, I watch those compilations sometimes
Sandro is my absolute favorite in this videos.
Love Sandro and junior, funny guys
At 7:52 the idea of the air hose nozzle and Black syphon hose is to create a vacuum from with air pressure. With the nozzle inserted into the hose at the opposing angle a vacuum will be created which will pull gas from the upper tank. The air hose should be turned off well before the gas enters the lower tank.
the pull start on the car tire is totally true. i have done it two times and it is harder than it looks but it definitelly does it
I imagine it’s like hand starting a prop plane, but with less risk of getting sliced in two.
Isn't it easier just to push start the car?
@@Oo-IIII-oO not if you're alone or there's nowhere to push
and you get twice as much torque by pulling through the open differential.
I also tried the rope thing to see if it was possible, and can confirm that it is, and also that it is harder than it looks.
7:20 is probably so you don’t lose the plug
Agree
Remote controls range is higher because of the concentration of salt in our head.
@11:55 instead of packing tape, it seems like silicone tape might actually be a sort-of long term fix for a broken boot.
the silicone bonds to itself and is very elastic so it could probably last a while and definitely keep water out.
I'm a simple man. I see a Mechanic's React video, I click
As a company driver, I pull down around $1,500 a week, running about 2,000 miles, get weekends, don’t have to worry about insurance, maintenance, permits, payments, or headaches. Spent 4 days with a seized hub in Mississippi earlier this year. Got breakdown pay for 4 days. Wasn’t what I would have made if I was running, but it definitely made sitting for 4 days a lot easier.
I see Sandro, I watch... I'm a simple man :D
Here’s a hack that can really help: instead of push starting your manual in 1st gear, use second gear. It will require a lot less “force” to turn the motor over. Use this all the time, especially when forced to push start my car by myself 🥵
Dude on the left regrooved his eyebrows. It looks cool.
The key to the head hack works because the wavelength of the radio waves from the key are close to the resonant frequency of water molecules. The water in your head (there's a lot of it!) basically vibrates in the same frequency, amplifying the signal. You'd get the same affect if you held the key next to a bucket of water!
if you put it under your jaw and open your mouth it works even better.
Sandro makes the channel. You guys gotta keep him
4:15 this is basically how people used to start airplanes too. Just give the prop a good spin.
