Watching Tyler push on that gas can and saying "Maybe if you took a really hard turn" it would flip over..... I now know that I will never get in a car with him. Is he taking 15mph turns at 80 in a Tacoma?
A "really hard turn" would not budge that gas can with the torque strap. Lol. The simple physics involved wouldn't even remotely topple it. You were struggling just to move it with your own body. That said, who straps their lone gas can in the middle of the truck bed? Lol.
Right? I was like, okay, it's a gas can, you're not gonna put it with a bunch of dropcloths then drive at 160mph on a hot cloudless day while hitting every single pothole. But, you also aren't gonna have just one gas can in a big truck like it's a random supply item in PUBG. What is this madness?! 😂😂 Love him though!

That's a 20L steel can, they weight about 20kg full of diesel. 20kg will generate a fairly large force on the strap when you hit a speed bump with leaf spring suspension The standard ratchet strap will not stretch significantly under such conditions, however the sprung section of the "torkstrap" can and will extend if not maxed out (assuming they have a limit strap). The spring might give the impression of sturdiness, but the fact is that it is risky as if there is any extension left in the sprung section and you generate enough force to lengthen the strap, your load is no longer secure.
The straps Tyler already owned and doesn’t like are actually really nice motorcycle tie down straps with bar protection loops. They work fine for their intended purpose, but they aren’t really meant for strapping down a gas can or lumber.
I just used the exact strap that he says sucks to haul my dirt bike sideways on a trailer and they work amazing. What helps those work is the opposite pressure from the suspension pushing up
The benefit of the torque strap is for shifting loads. If a ratcheted load shifts, it gets loose, with the torque strap it's supposed to adjust with the spring to keep it tight.
Sorry if someone already mentioned it: 16 gauge, 19 strands, or medium flexible conductor. If it wasn't intended for movement, it might be 1-4 strands, high flexibility, 24-32 strands
I've used them on suspension components when I don't have enough side to side room to get a cutoff wheel in there, although a cutoff torch works even better
I was gonna say that too. There's never been a nut that I've had a hard time getting off that contraption would ever fit in to get. Especially when he's having to cut both sides. Lol. Defintely invented by and engineer who never actually worked on anything before.
@@masonhogan8525well technically if you cut one side it would relieve tension on the nut and then it would be able to come off but yeah I agree being a mechanic that thing is impractical
Im sure everyone who has worked with electrical wiring, had a little laugh when he pulled out the wire strippers 😂. I sure did, but im not surprised tyler is amazed by something so common
those are light duty and don't work great on hard insulation. i have broken several of those . they are always made of plastic. i have used the ideal brand that actually have the notches for the wire sizes . they pull sideways and are made of metal. those are way better.

As far as I'm concerned ratchet straps are like chainsaws. Never let people borrow them no matter how trust worthy they seem. I have two camo ratchet straps that stay sloppy in my trucks tool box because they're in constant use and quick to grab. All of my others are pulled out of the spools, rolled up nicely and stored in the plastic organizer bins that came with the Bauer tool box they're stored in. I don't haul a lot of heavy objects so they're stored away when needed. :)

When tying down one or more boards that are positioned like the ones Tyler did, wrap your straps around your boards twice so 'starting from the left side tie down point go under the boards around over the top of the boards then back under the board again to the right hand tie down point' then racket tight as normal making sure to keep your load centered as you racket down, by tying anything down this way you get a stronger as well as equal strength pull from both sides stopping the side ways movement...

12:15 I'm sure someone has already pointed this out. There are two reasons for using the zip-tie tool. The first is to leave a clean cut behind but the second is to dial in how tight the tie is so that you aren't squeezing the absolute heck out of it. Being too tight doesn't matter for stuff that is temporary but it is important on wire harnesses that are meant to last for several years . The mechanics at my place use a 'fancy' version of these with a width based tension adjuster.
I use the electric DeWalt screwdriver for kitchen remodels when Im working on the cabinets. Good for installing the doors after, the knobs/handles. If you install cabinets, get one of these straight up. Had one for a year and I use it on literally anything you'd use a screwdriver for but it's way faster and the tool is intuitive as hell to use. It also does in fact have enough torque to remove 3inch drywall screws from studs but it's not made for that. It's really only made for things you use a regular screwdriver for. Drywall anchors are a dream with it
Exactly, this is the same thing as the cordless ratchet goofery. People think cordless ratchets are impacts, and are upset when they dont break the lugnuts on your Kenworth
@@jamesaustralian9829 that's another amazing use for it. A/C techs can also greatly benefit. The battery lasts forever too which is nice. I charge mine it feels like almost never
I knew these existed, but you are still continuously doing the Lord's work introducing people to things and ideas, and I am glad you get paid for it. Can't think of many people more deserving
The wood burner has multiple uses. Of course, there’s the soldering, but I have an 80 watt version that I use to weld plastic. I have fixed many kayaks, four wheeler panels, gas cans, car parts, etc. over the years with it. They’re good to have around, and if you want, you can even make custom tips.
Regarding the zip tie gun, there are some applications that you wouldn't want to make the zip tie too tight. For instance, a bundle of networking cables. In a network cable, such as Cat 6, there are individual pairs of twisted wire inside. Each pair has a specific twist to them, some with longer twists, others with shorter twists, some twisted in reverse, you get the idea. They are engineered this way to allow for maximum throughput and minimum interference between the pairs. By crushing these twisted pairs with over tightened zip ties, especially when they evenly space some set distance, you degrade the performance (throughput) of your expensive cables. By setting the torque on a zip tie gun, you can apply enough pressure to get the job done and be consistent with the pressure applied for each zip tie. This is also true with coax cable and high frequency signals (ie: 3G, 4k video) passing through them. The spacing between the center conductor and shield is intentional based on the signal frequency. Over tightened zip ties can have a negative effect on the signals passing through the cables. Final tip, a good set of flush cutters (not expensive...$10-$20), cutting in the wide direction of the zip tie (flat side of the blade down toward the head of the zip tie), will give you very smooth cuts. Zip ties with poorly cut ends in equipment racks can be very painful and draw blood easily. It's a professional courtesy to cut them cleanly. I used to install a lot of equipment professionally for many years.
That thing is just a super over-built rokstrap. They've been around a long time. They're most useful when dealing with things like soft bags strapped to a bike or ATV, where the load can compress or deflate. Instead of allowing it to shift as the load gets smaller, the elastic (rokstrap, not the one you have) keeps it under tension.
glad to see tyler is only furthering the times I have seen people using Milwaukee bits on dewalt tools. Its just as funny as the constant craftsman on Milwaukee tools.
Tyler, I think the DeWalt gyro screwdriver is designed for smaller repetitive jobs like installing a ton of cabinet hardware or maybe installing a bunch of light switches and receptacles in their boxes. Those are much lighter torque loads than what you tested it on. I could easily see this tool being a game changer for smaller repetitive jobs.
I have seen people fill the bed of their truck with gas, but I have never seen someone strap a gas can in the center of the bed. Now I know, this man is failing upwards. That's good, it means he can be himself and be successful at it. And no, I do not think he is an idiot lol, I been watching awhile and I know what he's up to. Catching comments and views is an art. I tip my hat to you Sir Tyler of the Tube.
@@ShawnWing-t1o Probably the part where it was demonstrated incorrectly and by someone who at least portrays zero and sometimes even negative knowledge on what he is demonstrating. Its frustrating to people who do know how something works and how its supposed to be used, and thats likely intentional to generate comments and retain viewers.
15:26 automatic wire strippers been around forever as well. Often used as electricians. In the Automotive industry, a lot of aftermarket sound systems and alarm installers used them back in the day. Of course they used the more higher quality ones.
I've had that gyro driver for 3 years. I use it mainly for electrical. Installing outlets, switches, plates etc... Has held up great and only needs charging maybe every 3 days.
I'm not sure why I keep watching. He doesn't research anything nor do I think he reads instructions. He's not the brightest crayon in the Box, but I think that's most of his appeal. I liked and subscribed which is something I normally don't do, so kudos to you Tyler you got me.
I read a comment on one of his videos that made me understand why I watch him: he's the kind of person all those infomercials are about. We finally found one.
I work in shipping & receiving. I deal with straps every day. A "friction strap" is terrible. It can be used on items that have some give, so the energy that would otherwise go into the item moving goes into deformation of the item/packaging, or in a trailer it can be used as a simple divider that will help prevent a stable load from shaking itself into becoming an unstable load. The main benefits are that they are quick and simple. The mechanism isn't going to bind up due to improper use. A ratchet strap is very powerful and is what you want if you really want to keep a load from moving. The downside is they are somewhat finiky, take a little extra time, and they can bind up if not used correctly(I see people who are paid to move product get confused by ratchet straps, so I ain't gonna judge a consumer who finds them frustrating) That "torque" strap looks like a reasonable in between for the average consumer. It's as simple as a cheap strap, but the spring allows you to build in some tension that can absorb the energy from jolts. I wouldn't use it, but I might recommend it to a buddy
I find the wood burner tool the best for your surprise with. My oldest sister had one when she was 16 or so, around 1995 or so. It's easy to think of it as a soldering iron with clean tips. It's good for a few ideas, not just arts and craft, but for finishing touches on some wood projects. You did note the downsides well. Those do tend to take a lot of time because they tend to be small...
One use I would use the last one - the wood burning too - is for the foam inserts for pack outs or tool chest drawer liners/foam, so you can cut out the contours of the tools.
Wood burning tool with the big round head would be good for plastic repair and if you saved the cut pieces of a zip tie you'll have something to make a plastic patch.
29:46 There's a small gyroscope in the handle when it moves the gyroscope moves in the same orientation of the motion. It works the same way in aircraft so pilots know which way they're orientated.
The torque straps better for boxes and bales. Compressable items as where a rachet strap if a box gets smashed the strap is now loose the torque straps spring will make up for the slack and keep the strap tight. (Hope that makes sense)
Non-ratcheting straps you're supposed to tie in such a way that it removes slack via leverage similar to a ratchet. That way you're still getting a substantial amount of force but without the risks the ratchet or elastic strap has. My experience is in strapping down boats, a ratchet would crush the hull plus and cause thousands of dollars of damages in scratches. The elastic strap would move and allow the boat to slip. Using the right technique will have the boat tied down almost as tight as the ratchet but without the risks. The elastic makes it faster allowing you to skip a proper tying procedure at the cost of being less secure.
I got a pair of 24g-10g auto wire strippers a few months ago and absolutely love them. I always knew about them but thought they'd just tear wires apart, but these have an automatic tensioner and they're fantastic, especially for stranded 24-20g wire.
I work in a data center and sometimes we zip tie permanent cabling for switches into racks (but use velcro elsewhere) and we had one of those zip tie guns. The day I discovered that thing was great! Such a time saver.
00:20 how I would use the torque strap is as the legs of makeshift netting. Let's say you have four D loops on your trailer bed. You could use the Torx strap to connect the sides of each D loop making a square on the bottom of your bed. Then tie in a series of smaller ropes along the torque strap BEFORE *fully* torqueing down. Then when you have the amount of webbing you want. Torque down the torque strap to tighten down the webbing. Or even do something similar but wrap the strap around on itself with a pair and web between those. You could achieve this with a ratcheting strap but ratchets become more tricky to use effectively when the strap is snaking around something.
Just an FYI, new straps stretch. Tighten them up, then tighten them a second time after a few minutes, but when you use them, the strap will stretch a few inches after use. Using a rope and a trucker hitch works just fine too. Rope has a bit of elasticity to it that acts as a spring. You return directions twice, it will cinch very tightly.

That last tool is for Pyrography . I use to do it years ago to burn pictures in wood. But the one i used had different settings and whent up to 750 degrees celsius. I first had a cheap one like this and they don't get hot enough and the tips get loose and even fall out
I have had a ziptie gun for over a decade. came from newegg with a set of 1000 ties. its absolutely amazing. I still use it all the time. no more using side cutters to get a flush cut. I used to build a lot of computers and it was very nice to have that professional look, every single time, with perfect tension. mine doesnt have a tension adjustment wheel, you just hand tighten it as much or little as you want, then rotate the tool until it cuts, it has a U shaped blade on the end with a scandy grind so that its always perfectly flush.
The gyro-screwdriver seems pretty neat for around the house, but if a pilot hole was made, I think it would have really shined. With that said, most homeowners aren't doing that, especially if a drill or impact could do it already.
I like the Dewalt screwdriver. I used a "hammerhead" brand daily for years. And you're not lying about that woodburner. They'll leave your fingers sore and almost blistered. Fun, though.
The first strap is called a cam-buckle. The company I work for uses the ratchet-type strap with E Track ends. The cam buckle is not good at tightening up a load. The nut tool is called a nut splitter. You can get ones much cheaper than that one. They use a heavy-duty bolt to push the wedge. They are a lot smaller than the hydraulic nut splitter.
Zip tie guns are a must have. I worked at a metal shop and we had them there. I bought one for home after using it. The wire strippers vary greatly in quality. There are some nice ones like that, but there are many out there that are pure trash. Your nut buster is known as a nut splitter. I’ve only ever used the manual ones you use with a ratchet.
as a tradesman who has used a ziptie gun for over a decade... its a whole lot better to use the tool that is designed for the job... you dont need to do multiple squeezes on the trigger... you apply the tie just as you normally would, you then use the tool to apply the proper tension and to give it a perfect flush cut all in one single quick motion. 10x as fast as your method of applying the tie as per normal, using some pliers to pull it tight, then getting some side cutters to cut it flush. but whatever, you cant teach an ignorant dog new tricks.
Black and Decker had a hand held, rechargeable screw driver with that same gyroscopic feature, about 8 - 10 years ago. A few of my co-workers had them, and really liked them. Not a ton of torque, but for quick assembly, they were very handy. They were also sub $20! Wish I'd bought one back then!
You would need to take a corner at 78,988 mph for that gas can to turn over............. when the teacher talks about gravity & physics in school, listen!
Love your avatar image!!! Genius!! Been wanting to start a movement where everyone wears rainbows - instantly stripping the rainbow gang of thier signal colors
The strap style you used at 1st is for strapping down motorcycles, as you pull it tight it compresses the front shock and it stays tight. One goes on each side of your handlebars down to truck or trailer bed. They're fast and work great.
@@jamesaustralian9829 I used to wire control panels with hundreds of cables, wire strippers like that are the best way for consistently stripping a lot of cable.
The gyroscopic screwdriver is neat for an idea of a concept, but it's honestly better to just learn trigger control with a standard electric drill, or learn how to use a screwdriver
I bought the automatic wire stripper and a zip tie gun 20 years ago when I was an apprentice electrician, so neither are new inventions and are available at every hardware store, it's just Tyler being slow
You should really strap things down, not squeeze them against something, stuff will still slide when you do it like that. But it does work for light stuff.
That nut buster is just a hydraulic bolt cutter with a different head on it. You can also use them for making loops on cable, or crimping big ferrules, though its less useful with that enclosed head on it. The hooked end on it works better for more applications.
OK, ziptie gun, I've seen, but it was literally only once. Came with a kit of zipties at a job I had. The torque strap I've never seen, but why? Rachet straps aren't that expensive. The strippers I haven't seen. Nut buster is also new to me. But really, a wood burning kit? They are like a soldering iron because they are a soldering iron. In fact, the kit I bought came with a tip to solder and soldering wire. They are both a heating element that you apply a tip to. Like $15 at Walmart. About as unknown as a crochet hook.
So those cam lock loading straps work well when you have a load that will push back - like a motorcycle/dirtbike that can compress on its suspension and push back up to help hold the tension. You needed more of a standard ratchet strap for a rigid tall load like you were testing with, but the cams still have a place when you just need a quick and light hold IMO
On the torque strap, save the springs off the kids old trampoline and use one at the end of your regular pull strap. Put the spring on the truck bed tie down then hook the strap to that. Tried it - works. Free. I put a carabiner on the spring to attach it more easily.
I think it's Tyler didn't know, that zip tie gun has been around for at least 20 year or more. My dad had one when I was younger and I'm 46 now, they were just really expensive back in the day because it was the only brand out there. Same thing with the auto wire strippers, they are meant for people who can't strip wires with a real wire stripper. As for the wood burning kit, you could buy it in the toy section in the 60's as a project kit maybe even earlier.
If you absolutely MUST strap your gas can in the middle of your bed, try this. Instead of just passing the strap through the handle, wrap the strap around the handle and then cinch it tight. The extra friction from the strap will hold it in place. This works with ladders and long boards as well.
I used a zip tie gun 30 years ago at some job. LOVED it. Looked for one for years and never saw them in stores. The cutting the excess off, flush was what I wanted. I hate the sharp remnants if you use diagonal cutters or a knife.
Extension cord trick; If you have a bunch of old beaten up 16/3 cords around , you can make a high amp cord with 2 or even 3 cords , into single heavy duty Male and Female plugs. Realized after seeing how much a 10/2 with ground was. and didn't want to drive or wait for Ebay.
Dude, you could roll that truck and not move that Jerry Can. The purpose of those torque straps is for delicate loads that you don't want to damage by over tightening the straps. The idea is to leave a bit of give in the spring so you maintain tension. It's not meant to hold a ton of steel... The automatic wire strippers are probably still ok, but the adjustment knob works the opposite of what you think. turn clockwise to have less grip, and counter clockwise to have more grip.
23:17 we have very large versions at work that are run by hydraulic pumps and break nuts upwards of 5”. We call it a nut breaker but I like yours better 😂
I would use the Torque Straps to keep a motorcycle secure on a table, cause when traveling I like to cinch down the suspension of the motorcycle, and the torque strap would help take out the slack that develops when going down the road.
The biggest advantage to those spring straps is that they keep tension when your load shifts. Like if you're hauling a motorcycle and you hit a pothole and the forks compress a bit. It might be just enough for a normal strap to slip off
Are they tools that we did not know existed or is it just Tyler did not know these existed

Right, if you are strapping down something under a spring load, they dont need to have a spring built into the strap.
When you tie lumber down on a trailer or in the back of your truck you should gut wrap your load.
When you take such turns that u make the gascan tip over with the strap attached you should be locked up for the rest of ur live..

The hint is in the name dude
These are used alot by electrical/controls panel builders. I myself as an engineer have one.
12:15 I'm sure someone has already pointed this out. There are two reasons for using the zip-tie tool. The first is to leave a clean cut behind but the second is to dial in how tight the tie is so that you aren't squeezing the absolute heck out of it. Being too tight doesn't matter for stuff that is temporary but it is important on wire harnesses that are meant to last for several years . The mechanics at my place use a 'fancy' version of these with a width based tension adjuster.
I use the electric DeWalt screwdriver for kitchen remodels when Im working on the cabinets. Good for installing the doors after, the knobs/handles. If you install cabinets, get one of these straight up. Had one for a year and I use it on literally anything you'd use a screwdriver for but it's way faster and the tool is intuitive as hell to use. It also does in fact have enough torque to remove 3inch drywall screws from studs but it's not made for that. It's really only made for things you use a regular screwdriver for. Drywall anchors are a dream with it
Exactly, this is the same thing as the cordless ratchet goofery. People think cordless ratchets are impacts, and are upset when they dont break the lugnuts on your Kenworth
My friend is an electrician and uses the cordless screwdriver religiously
@@jamesaustralian9829 that's another amazing use for it. A/C techs can also greatly benefit. The battery lasts forever too which is nice. I charge mine it feels like almost never
@@Niriniumwell, there are some powerful cordless impacts out there. Torque test channel on UA-cam (I think) has some good reviews.

And a wood burner for pyrography, a nut splitter or an electric screwdriver
Look, he doesn't get out much.
I knew these existed, but you are still continuously doing the Lord's work introducing people to things and ideas, and I am glad you get paid for it.
Can't think of many people more deserving
...not you discovering wood burning at the very end 😭😭😭
But you know what crosshatch is I'm in tears
Some folks are just born to be a blessing
The wood burner has multiple uses. Of course, there’s the soldering, but I have an 80 watt version that I use to weld plastic. I have fixed many kayaks, four wheeler panels, gas cans, car parts, etc. over the years with it.
They’re good to have around, and if you want, you can even make custom tips.
Regarding the zip tie gun, there are some applications that you wouldn't want to make the zip tie too tight. For instance, a bundle of networking cables. In a network cable, such as Cat 6, there are individual pairs of twisted wire inside. Each pair has a specific twist to them, some with longer twists, others with shorter twists, some twisted in reverse, you get the idea. They are engineered this way to allow for maximum throughput and minimum interference between the pairs. By crushing these twisted pairs with over tightened zip ties, especially when they evenly space some set distance, you degrade the performance (throughput) of your expensive cables. By setting the torque on a zip tie gun, you can apply enough pressure to get the job done and be consistent with the pressure applied for each zip tie. This is also true with coax cable and high frequency signals (ie: 3G, 4k video) passing through them. The spacing between the center conductor and shield is intentional based on the signal frequency. Over tightened zip ties can have a negative effect on the signals passing through the cables. Final tip, a good set of flush cutters (not expensive...$10-$20), cutting in the wide direction of the zip tie (flat side of the blade down toward the head of the zip tie), will give you very smooth cuts. Zip ties with poorly cut ends in equipment racks can be very painful and draw blood easily. It's a professional courtesy to cut them cleanly. I used to install a lot of equipment professionally for many years.
That thing is just a super over-built rokstrap.
They've been around a long time. They're most useful when dealing with things like soft bags strapped to a bike or ATV, where the load can compress or deflate. Instead of allowing it to shift as the load gets smaller, the elastic (rokstrap, not the one you have) keeps it under tension.
I was about to mention rokstrap then seen your comment,yea I love rokstraps,they are handy in many ways for sure
glad to see tyler is only furthering the times I have seen people using Milwaukee bits on dewalt tools. Its just as funny as the constant craftsman on Milwaukee tools.
The Pyrography tool would be nice to have for stippling. Looks like it has a temperature control which is much nicer than a standard soldering iron.
That's what I said as a gunsmith we use em for that and otd has some great tips
Tyler, I think the DeWalt gyro screwdriver is designed for smaller repetitive jobs like installing a ton of cabinet hardware or maybe installing a bunch of light switches and receptacles in their boxes. Those are much lighter torque loads than what you tested it on. I could easily see this tool being a game changer for smaller repetitive jobs.
Who elses misses the Garage
I have seen people fill the bed of their truck with gas, but I have never seen someone strap a gas can in the center of the bed. Now I know, this man is failing upwards. That's good, it means he can be himself and be successful at it. And no, I do not think he is an idiot lol, I been watching awhile and I know what he's up to. Catching comments and views is an art. I tip my hat to you Sir Tyler of the Tube.
His persona is hilarious. I can only imagine how he giggles when he plans.
It's just a demonstration so you can see how the strap works. Lol why do you guys take this so fucking personal
A modern day Ernest P Worrell. People love calling others dumb (see Idiocracy) and Tyler has it perfected for engagement.
@@ShawnWing-t1o Probably the part where it was demonstrated incorrectly and by someone who at least portrays zero and sometimes even negative knowledge on what he is demonstrating. Its frustrating to people who do know how something works and how its supposed to be used, and thats likely intentional to generate comments and retain viewers.
@@DeagleGamesTV it's scary people like you are allowed to breath the same air as the rest of us and are allowed to drive and vote.
15:26 automatic wire strippers been around forever as well. Often used as electricians. In the Automotive industry, a lot of aftermarket sound systems and alarm installers used them back in the day. Of course they used the more higher quality ones.
15:12 Holy cow are you kidding?
Those wire strippers are around for 25 years at least.
Right! My dad has an old one that's gotta be minimum 50 years old... and it always worked great, still does
So has the zip tie gun. Lmao
I've had that gyro driver for 3 years. I use it mainly for electrical. Installing outlets, switches, plates etc... Has held up great and only needs charging maybe every 3 days.
I'm not sure why I keep watching. He doesn't research anything nor do I think he reads instructions. He's not the brightest crayon in the Box, but I think that's most of his appeal. I liked and subscribed which is something I normally don't do, so kudos to you Tyler you got me.
I read a comment on one of his videos that made me understand why I watch him: he's the kind of person all those infomercials are about. We finally found one.
You need to do 1 loop around the handle at least. You are just trying to weigh it down. Once around the handle and its sorted.
I work in shipping & receiving. I deal with straps every day. A "friction strap" is terrible. It can be used on items that have some give, so the energy that would otherwise go into the item moving goes into deformation of the item/packaging, or in a trailer it can be used as a simple divider that will help prevent a stable load from shaking itself into becoming an unstable load. The main benefits are that they are quick and simple. The mechanism isn't going to bind up due to improper use.
A ratchet strap is very powerful and is what you want if you really want to keep a load from moving. The downside is they are somewhat finiky, take a little extra time, and they can bind up if not used correctly(I see people who are paid to move product get confused by ratchet straps, so I ain't gonna judge a consumer who finds them frustrating)
That "torque" strap looks like a reasonable in between for the average consumer. It's as simple as a cheap strap, but the spring allows you to build in some tension that can absorb the energy from jolts.
I wouldn't use it, but I might recommend it to a buddy
I think you should strap the gas can in and do some donuts and see if it stays in place!! (I just wanna watch you do donuts for real!)
I find the wood burner tool the best for your surprise with. My oldest sister had one when she was 16 or so, around 1995 or so. It's easy to think of it as a soldering iron with clean tips. It's good for a few ideas, not just arts and craft, but for finishing touches on some wood projects. You did note the downsides well. Those do tend to take a lot of time because they tend to be small...
The knife blade on the soldering iron is for cutting ropes or plastic, A great tool to have!
One use I would use the last one - the wood burning too - is for the foam inserts for pack outs or tool chest drawer liners/foam, so you can cut out the contours of the tools.
Wood burning tool with the big round head would be good for plastic repair and if you saved the cut pieces of a zip tie you'll have something to make a plastic patch.
LOL watching Tyler try to defunk the Torque strap was so funny with the lone gas can. no one straps a gas can down in a truck bed!!
oh man that wood burner brought back summer camp memories haha
29:46 There's a small gyroscope in the handle when it moves the gyroscope moves in the same orientation of the motion. It works the same way in aircraft so pilots know which way they're orientated.
The torque straps better for boxes and bales. Compressable items as where a rachet strap if a box gets smashed the strap is now loose the torque straps spring will make up for the slack and keep the strap tight. (Hope that makes sense)
Non-ratcheting straps you're supposed to tie in such a way that it removes slack via leverage similar to a ratchet. That way you're still getting a substantial amount of force but without the risks the ratchet or elastic strap has. My experience is in strapping down boats, a ratchet would crush the hull plus and cause thousands of dollars of damages in scratches. The elastic strap would move and allow the boat to slip. Using the right technique will have the boat tied down almost as tight as the ratchet but without the risks.
The elastic makes it faster allowing you to skip a proper tying procedure at the cost of being less secure.
"it knows which way its pointing" that was funny 😂
I got a pair of 24g-10g auto wire strippers a few months ago and absolutely love them. I always knew about them but thought they'd just tear wires apart, but these have an automatic tensioner and they're fantastic, especially for stranded 24-20g wire.
I work in a data center and sometimes we zip tie permanent cabling for switches into racks (but use velcro elsewhere) and we had one of those zip tie guns. The day I discovered that thing was great! Such a time saver.
00:20 how I would use the torque strap is as the legs of makeshift netting. Let's say you have four D loops on your trailer bed. You could use the Torx strap to connect the sides of each D loop making a square on the bottom of your bed. Then tie in a series of smaller ropes along the torque strap BEFORE *fully* torqueing down. Then when you have the amount of webbing you want. Torque down the torque strap to tighten down the webbing. Or even do something similar but wrap the strap around on itself with a pair and web between those. You could achieve this with a ratcheting strap but ratchets become more tricky to use effectively when the strap is snaking around something.
14:24 Tyler is turning into a duct guy. Now go get yourself the Matco zip-tie tensioner
They really only work well for the bigger ties, but talk about “tight”…
Matco or Malco?
Just an FYI, new straps stretch. Tighten them up, then tighten them a second time after a few minutes, but when you use them, the strap will stretch a few inches after use.
Using a rope and a trucker hitch works just fine too. Rope has a bit of elasticity to it that acts as a spring. You return directions twice, it will cinch very tightly.

That last tool is for Pyrography . I use to do it years ago to burn pictures in wood. But the one i used had different settings and whent up to 750 degrees celsius. I first had a cheap one like this and they don't get hot enough and the tips get loose and even fall out
Wood burner is what I knew them as from like 25 years ago.
I have had a ziptie gun for over a decade. came from newegg with a set of 1000 ties. its absolutely amazing. I still use it all the time. no more using side cutters to get a flush cut.
I used to build a lot of computers and it was very nice to have that professional look, every single time, with perfect tension.
mine doesnt have a tension adjustment wheel, you just hand tighten it as much or little as you want, then rotate the tool until it cuts, it has a U shaped blade on the end with a scandy grind so that its always perfectly flush.
You should have rolled the truck to see if the can stays put.
The gyro-screwdriver seems pretty neat for around the house, but if a pilot hole was made, I think it would have really shined. With that said, most homeowners aren't doing that, especially if a drill or impact could do it already.
Loop it around the handle, Tylor
I like the Dewalt screwdriver. I used a "hammerhead" brand daily for years. And you're not lying about that woodburner. They'll leave your fingers sore and almost blistered. Fun, though.
After seeing those zip ties, I'm slightly concerned what Tyler may be doing in his spare time. 😄23:05 AKA Tyler's mom.
If you see zip ties and automatically think of nefarious uses for them maybe you're the one folks need to be concerned about.
I was thinking the same 😅
I can confidently say, 3 good pats and a, “that aint going nowhere.” Is the best method to secure a load.
When you plan on taking a 180 degree turn with a 3/4 full gas can at 180 mph
. 😂
The first strap is called a cam-buckle. The company I work for uses the ratchet-type strap with E Track ends. The cam buckle is not good at tightening up a load. The nut tool is called a nut splitter. You can get ones much cheaper than that one. They use a heavy-duty bolt to push the wedge. They are a lot smaller than the hydraulic nut splitter.
The Spring will actually cause the load to shift. Has to be rigid!
Exactly, but if you pull it till the extension is fully expanded, it will keep the tension and won't come loose
Zip tie guns are a must have. I worked at a metal shop and we had them there. I bought one for home after using it.
The wire strippers vary greatly in quality. There are some nice ones like that, but there are many out there that are pure trash.
Your nut buster is known as a nut splitter. I’ve only ever used the manual ones you use with a ratchet.
One pull with your hand or feed the zip tie into a gun then do multiple squeezes on the trigger. Tradesman says…no 😂
as a tradesman who has used a ziptie gun for over a decade... its a whole lot better to use the tool that is designed for the job... you dont need to do multiple squeezes on the trigger... you apply the tie just as you normally would, you then use the tool to apply the proper tension and to give it a perfect flush cut all in one single quick motion.
10x as fast as your method of applying the tie as per normal, using some pliers to pull it tight, then getting some side cutters to cut it flush.
but whatever, you cant teach an ignorant dog new tricks.
Black and Decker had a hand held, rechargeable screw driver with that same gyroscopic feature, about 8 - 10 years ago.
A few of my co-workers had them, and really liked them.
Not a ton of torque, but for quick assembly, they were very handy.
They were also sub $20!
Wish I'd bought one back then!

I've used xrt rope tie downs in the bed of my truck for years and are definitely a game changer when you need something tied down quick.
You would need to take a corner at 78,988 mph for that gas can to turn over............. when the teacher talks about gravity & physics in school, listen!
Love your avatar image!!! Genius!! Been wanting to start a movement where everyone wears rainbows - instantly stripping the rainbow gang of thier signal colors
Shhh!! Big words confuse Tyler
Shhh!!!! Big words confuse Tyler
How many g's do we need to pull to tip the can over
Nice pfp
The strap style you used at 1st is for strapping down motorcycles, as you pull it tight it compresses the front shock and it stays tight. One goes on each side of your handlebars down to truck or trailer bed. They're fast and work great.
Hard turn??? That would have stayed in there if you rolled your truck!
Same thoughts i had...unless youre sending it down a rocky mountain
Wonder how impressed Tyler will be when he learns anyone who strips wire for work can strip multiple wires at a time with side cutters
My electrician mate does it without looking. Strips twin and earth wiring in one go with side cutters.
@@jamesaustralian9829 I used to wire control panels with hundreds of cables, wire strippers like that are the best way for consistently stripping a lot of cable.
The gyroscopic screwdriver is neat for an idea of a concept, but it's honestly better to just learn trigger control with a standard electric drill, or learn how to use a screwdriver
Can't go past your regular cordless drill. Soft trigger for the small stuff.
Must be a dad... ties something down in the truck bed, immediately says: "That's not going anywhere." 😅
Tyler with the thick daddy zip ties
I am a retired electrician and used a very similar wire stripper (IDEAL) and the TYRAP tool back in the 70's. I still have them.
Put the Raw toast shirt on the Wall.
I bought the automatic wire stripper and a zip tie gun 20 years ago when I was an apprentice electrician, so neither are new inventions and are available at every hardware store, it's just Tyler being slow
I barely even use tools and I have three of these that he covered.
I honestly never seen it until this video, lol.
I have had my auto stripper 35+ years.
That fancy wood burner in the end really brought back nostalgia memories for me.
First time here, is this a comedy channel? Because I found it quite amusing, not informative but amusing.
We don't know if he's stupid or a genius. Either way I love him lmao
Those ratchetsstrap is for carton boxes. Its built for box movers bc if the box crumble in its stil tight
Put the gas can against the cab Tyler and strap horizontally.....Jesus, lol. I know you know damn better than that.
Exactly my comment. Who straps a gas can in the center down to the bed corners! Lol
There is a cage you can use in front of or behind the wheel well, which is usually wasted space anyway, and is made for that style can
You should really strap things down, not squeeze them against something, stuff will still slide when you do it like that. But it does work for light stuff.
That nut buster is just a hydraulic bolt cutter with a different head on it. You can also use them for making loops on cable, or crimping big ferrules, though its less useful with that enclosed head on it. The hooked end on it works better for more applications.
OK, ziptie gun, I've seen, but it was literally only once. Came with a kit of zipties at a job I had. The torque strap I've never seen, but why? Rachet straps aren't that expensive. The strippers I haven't seen. Nut buster is also new to me. But really, a wood burning kit? They are like a soldering iron because they are a soldering iron. In fact, the kit I bought came with a tip to solder and soldering wire. They are both a heating element that you apply a tip to. Like $15 at Walmart. About as unknown as a crochet hook.
So those cam lock loading straps work well when you have a load that will push back - like a motorcycle/dirtbike that can compress on its suspension and push back up to help hold the tension. You needed more of a standard ratchet strap for a rigid tall load like you were testing with, but the cams still have a place when you just need a quick and light hold IMO
If you loop the older style strap one time around the center handle on the gas can, before hooking to the other truck tiedown, it'll be rock solid.
the wire strippers i've used for years, one of the first things i bought when i was stocking up my toolbox
On the torque strap, save the springs off the kids old trampoline and use one at the end of your regular pull strap. Put the spring on the truck bed tie down then hook the strap to that. Tried it - works. Free. I put a carabiner on the spring to attach it more easily.
I think it's Tyler didn't know, that zip tie gun has been around for at least 20 year or more. My dad had one when I was younger and I'm 46 now, they were just really expensive back in the day because it was the only brand out there. Same thing with the auto wire strippers, they are meant for people who can't strip wires with a real wire stripper. As for the wood burning kit, you could buy it in the toy section in the 60's as a project kit maybe even earlier.
If you absolutely MUST strap your gas can in the middle of your bed, try this. Instead of just passing the strap through the handle, wrap the strap around the handle and then cinch it tight. The extra friction from the strap will hold it in place. This works with ladders and long boards as well.
I used a zip tie gun 30 years ago at some job. LOVED it. Looked for one for years and never saw them in stores. The cutting the excess off, flush was what I wanted. I hate the sharp remnants if you use diagonal cutters or a knife.
At this point I’m convinced that he just moved lol, and this new grassy area is his improved backyard
Extension cord trick; If you have a bunch of old beaten up 16/3 cords around , you can make a high amp cord with 2 or even 3 cords , into single heavy duty Male and Female plugs. Realized after seeing how much a 10/2 with ground was. and didn't want to drive or wait for Ebay.
About 12:00 the zip tie gun has a super cheap alternative, nail clippers. And it fits in your pocket.
Dude, you could roll that truck and not move that Jerry Can. The purpose of those torque straps is for delicate loads that you don't want to damage by over tightening the straps. The idea is to leave a bit of give in the spring so you maintain tension. It's not meant to hold a ton of steel...
The automatic wire strippers are probably still ok, but the adjustment knob works the opposite of what you think. turn clockwise to have less grip, and counter clockwise to have more grip.
23:17 we have very large versions at work that are run by hydraulic pumps and break nuts upwards of 5”. We call it a nut breaker but I like yours better 😂
I would use the Torque Straps to keep a motorcycle secure on a table, cause when traveling I like to cinch down the suspension of the motorcycle, and the torque strap would help take out the slack that develops when going down the road.
The biggest advantage to those spring straps is that they keep tension when your load shifts. Like if you're hauling a motorcycle and you hit a pothole and the forks compress a bit. It might be just enough for a normal strap to slip off
