As far as I know lots of Chinese products are imitations of better quality products. This way they already save a lot of time and money because they don't have to test and redesign and test and redesign etc... If you can figure out where they copied 'their' design, you might be able to find (cheap chinesium) replacement parts, that will miraculously fit perfect in your Chinese imitation product.
Most of the Chinese junk is interchangeable heaps of the seals and berings are common.. but some aren't... just totally depends on the supplier (often they will refuse to sell you a seal if it's not going to be checked) eg business use.. I've actually had heaps of issues getting bearings for my Escooter and they are a common size.. same size but for a drill press no issue😂 makes no difference to me I either order a set online and wait a month or one a week for 4 weeks 🤔🤷♂️ the really sad thing is Marty and any Kiwi is better off spending our dollars overseas but then we are the problem😂 hey its like the ban plastics bags so the supplier puts more products in plastic😂🤷♂️

I'm 77 yrs old. I do all kinds of diy jobs for friends n neighbors. They always ask how I learned that stuff. And I always tell them me dad taught me everything. Great job, Marty!!!❤
It's such a simple thing, telling your son what the problem is and then asking him how to fix it. Helps him be involved, gets his brain working and makes him feel good solving a problem with his dad. What a great parent.
It's the tiny extra habits you're teaching the lad that I like. (For example, only take things out of the bag when you're ready to use them. That would have saved me SO much time looking for parts, over the years).
If your lad is anything like I was he will remember this for the rest of his life. I am 80 & was remembering (with my sisters) the things that happened. This was the sort of thing that came up.
Marty could do with a little supervising I think. The little fellow has his dad's great timing. That last comment was spot on. "Squashed like a pancake!"
Absolute Gold. Self reliance is the key to ultimate survival. To be able to carry on that mentality to future generations is priceless. Love every single thing about this episode.
This is exactly how I remember New Zealand in 1988. Everything was rebuilt. Exactly how my father taught me who's from New Zealand and why I do what I do today if I need something. The dump is my store and I turned it into a small business. Never paid for appliances, yard equipment, furniture and haven't even financed a car. Thanks dad, I need to call him and tell him this before I can't.
Thankyou. I don't get notifications for some reason and appreciate you reading my comment and hearting it. Obviously I'm replying to myself technically but hopefully I start a trend of us thanking who made us who we are.
Great one Marty, I remember doing this kind of thing with my dad, i don't recall being interested in it at all, but after all of those years it all rubbed off onto me and I thank my dad for all of that experience... so even if they don't look like they are listening, it gets absorbed!
Even if it takes the kids years to learn repair skills, the most important lesson in the beginning is learning that most things can be repaired! Good job Mr.+ Mrs. T! 😊
Your son is going to be SO GLAD when he's older and doesn't have to fork out $$ for every little thing that goes wrong in his life! Not to mention the feeling of accomplishment when he does it HIMSELF.
You've got a budding young mechanic there Marty. I had both my son and daughter helping build their own VW scrub buggy when they were about your boys age. It's good knowledge/skills for a kid to have. It's what my Dad did for me.
Marty your family is so beautiful. And your son is such a ham! So funny. Just like the crocodile man's son Bindy, your young son will flourish in your knowledge. Watching him grow up will be so special. He has a great personality and father. This wasn't about your press. This was about your son. He's an awesome little dude. 💯❤️
My dad taught me to do so much... repairing vehicles, hunting, fishing, homebuilding (framing, roofing, wiring, cabinetry, finish carpentry). At some point you realize you're able to do pretty much whatever you set your mind to!
that is awesome you bonding with your son like that, he will remember them days for the rest of his life. Just wanted to say that buddy that's pretty cool, plus you have a awesome channel and I really enjoy watching you
Things to squash: golf ball, jelly beans, fully shaken fizzy drinks, sisters barbie doll, a spoon, some old radio, etc . . . Whole afternoon of fun there.
I didn't see that I had this until this morning-what a great way to start the day! I wish my dad did this with me. Well done Marty; keep teaching. God bless.
This is the sort of stuff I wish my dad would've thought me when I was a kid, I'm sure it wouldn't have stuck to my head but to be fair lots of both useless and useful stuff does! He wasn't mechanically inclined other than what way to turn a spanner. I've swapped engines in cars and can do it in about 3 hours in a Volvo 360, but stuff like this, I would kill to have learned it from him. Or my mother, I'm not opposed to that either! 😂 I really really appreciate what you do and that you always seem to also teach your kids the same stuff. It's always so chill watching your videos, leaning back and actually learn something I might use, not some mindless "can I restore this hundred thousand dollar auction car and make a profit?! Keep it up man much love from Norway! 🇳🇴
If Marty was fixing a flat on a wheel barrow, he'd still be able to make it entertaining. Squashed like a pancake, this will come in handy when pressing bearings.., the wee man looks like he's after stretching at bit since the last time we saw him. It's always great to see him hanging out with dad. Good job on the bottle jack brother, its good for another 20 years.
Your son is growing fast! Please tell him that I am glad that he was in the video as the explanation for your son also made it easy for this mid-fifties relic easily understand too! I also have a leaky hydraulic bottle jack that needs fixing.
Mate great to see you back and I love how you show your children how to do things as you are doing it that’s how it should be done great on you mate C-U- in the next one take care and all the best to you and your family mate.
Hi Marty, good to see you got the managing director day today. Keep an eye on you. Making sure you’re doing a good job on just love, watching you and your son together is fantastic He is willing to learn , keep up the good work Waze love the videos Cliff from Logan City Queensland, Australia
It's sad that the supplier didn't give you the kit as it's obviously a known fault with an upgrade fix. My younger son pulled a Peli case from a skip which had a broken catch, an easy fix. He looked on ebay and the prices for pattern parts was quite high, I suggested he go direct to Peli who said Lifetime Guarantee parts are free even when my son said he'd got it from a skip. They sent a complete set of eight catches not just the one. Really enjoy watching your videos.
I was given a three ton floor jack, it was given to me because it leaked and didn't work. I took all the seals out and visited my local seal supplier and got them to match up the seals. I then spent a pleasant afternoon cleaning and reassembling it, it's now my go to floor jack, I also made a saddle for it on my lathe because that was missing too. Sometimes it's better to repair than to just chuck the old one and buy a new one.
Dear Marty, passing your knowledge on to your little ones is truly priceless as well as heartwarming. Your videos never disappoint & always make me smile 😊. God bless you, your family not forgetting doggy & thank you 🙏👍😁
The fact you found a repair kit for these cheap chinese presses is an incredible feat on its own..
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I need a repair kit for a bottle jack that's used on a motorcycle lift. I haven't watched the video yet. At work. However, this gives me hope!!
Type in the name or serial code, you can find the blueprints of the assembly nd all the part names and pictures

Teaching your kids to repair what you have and save money is a priceless lesson.
Those kinds of skills (the skills Marty has) are becoming more valuable all the time.

Same here, I feel like it keeps my dad alive when I pass it on!
Great job Marty teaching the little one how to do repairs. It starts with interest and a good teacher . We'll done Dad.
ahah the little boy making faces got me laughing hard 😂
Absolutely! Hilarious! 😂😂
Looks like you have your no. one helper on the job. Fixing a jack four dollars, Spending time with your son...priceless!
It's great to see you teaching your children how to fix things at such a young age. These lessons will stay with them for the rest of their lives.
It's such a simple thing, telling your son what the problem is and then asking him how to fix it. Helps him be involved, gets his brain working and makes him feel good solving a problem with his dad. What a great parent.
As a fellow purveyor of the mullet, I approve of the boy's haircut. He will go far in life.
Came on the comment to say, good video wow that's one hell of a mullet. Good skills.
😂😂 it’s a kiwi and Aussie right of passage
You may be sorry you taught him how to squash things. 😄
😂
He's so patient with the kids, there going to learn well.
A dad and his son working together, priceless!
It's the tiny extra habits you're teaching the lad that I like. (For example, only take things out of the bag when you're ready to use them. That would have saved me SO much time looking for parts, over the years).
The faces at the camera made me laugh out loud. 😂
Your boy will never forget these lessons.
That boy is lucky, he has a very knowledgeable dad passing on that knowledge to him.. and a sweet mullet
What a scamp! Part education, part destruction….perfect combo
Knowing how (or even trying) to fix things is a dying art in today's throw-away world. Good for teaching your kid.
I love how the little boy keeps looking up at the camera and sometimes opening his mouth. He is very cute.
If your lad is anything like I was he will remember this for the rest of his life. I am 80 & was remembering (with my sisters) the things that happened. This was the sort of thing that came up.
Now THAT'S how Sr. teaches Jr. all of his skills! Great work, Dad!

How precious! Ur son acknowledges everything you say with a “uh mm”
Love how you include your kids in many of your videos! You're a great dad and an excellent role model for them. I hope your lessons sink in!❤

"Out with the old, in with the new.". 💯 Some ChrisFix vibes here. I love it.
Even if it takes the kids years to learn repair skills, the most important lesson in the beginning is learning that most things can be repaired! Good job Mr.+ Mrs. T! 😊
Good one Marty. Teach them young. They remember everything when you’re young.
Excellent 👍 Your boy is gonna be a top engineer/fabricator/mechanic time he's 16! 👌🏴🇬🇧
It's always nice to see you get your kids involved 😊
Awesome video. Love that your teaching your kids.
Who needs pliers for the clips when dad has vice grip fingers!
Great to have the little fella along for the video. Cheers mate 👍
Your son is going to be SO GLAD when he's older and doesn't have to fork out $$ for every little thing that goes wrong in his life! Not to mention the feeling of accomplishment when he does it HIMSELF.
I would just be repeating what other positive statements were already said. well done
Good heavens he's getting big!

Wish I had a father like you growing up Marty your kids are very lucky to learn from the master😁

A lucky young man to have a dad to learn from.
Hi Marty, Great mentor for your children! God bless and take care from your California subscriber.
Good on you to give your children important tools for life.
Cheers from New Mexico Mountains.
great video Marty , teaching the young to follow in your footsteps .
Absolute legend Marty
This time spent with the kids is unforgettable for them, also such a fun way to learn.
...and the penguin says "no, that's ice cream."
Great job teaching your little fella Marty. The future of UA-cam definitely needs a "Marty T Jr".
The wonder of a squashed can! Love the inquisitiveness on your sons face.
Excellent teaching your young lad. He will remember this for the rest of his life and then teach his young'uns. Stay safe!
W.C. Fields said, "Never work with Children or Animals.”😂😂😂
watching you and your son working on things takes me back to the times i spent with my dad great times
Nice work Marty! That's how they learn! Lesson's they'll cherish for a lifetime.
Things to squash: golf ball, jelly beans, fully shaken fizzy drinks, sisters barbie doll, a spoon, some old radio, etc . . . Whole afternoon of fun there.
Great dad, great son. Reminds me of my childhood when I was always watching and learning from my own dad.
So heartwarming see you teach your son.
Looks like your boy is picking up on your repair skills, good looks and humour!
Good to see the lad will grow up appreciating that fixing things is the thing to do
Thank you for including us in this lovely family moment.
I didn't see that I had this until this morning-what a great way to start the day! I wish my dad did this with me. Well done Marty; keep teaching. God bless.
Love seeing the kids in the shop!! Best education is hands on! Thanks for your great videos.
Just the right amount of supervision Marty
Hi Marty! Your helper is brimming with enthusiasm.
That's how I learnt, at my dad's elbow asking questions. BRILLIANT
Great to see you kids are working with you. Being able to fix things is a shrinking talent.
So wholesome.... Your such a good Dad Marty! Makes me miss the days when my kids were little.
This is the sort of stuff I wish my dad would've thought me when I was a kid, I'm sure it wouldn't have stuck to my head but to be fair lots of both useless and useful stuff does!

Kudos to teaching your kids. Something I was not very good at.
Thanks Marty, you just reminded me to fix my leaky engine lift.
You're a great Dad!
