I've done that for years also. I got a cheap stethoscope just with the metal diaphragm and it's amazing how much better and how much it amplifies the sound for locating ball bearing sounds and things like that well worth the five bucks that I paid for it 20 years ago
Awesome tool. I bought one about 15 years ago from HF to find a bad bearing on my scooter without taking it apart. I don't think I spent more than $10. I never thought of using it to find stuff inside of walls. Brilliant.
Many years ago when a teenager, I pulled into an old rustic gas station in the middle of nowhere to fill up the tank before heading home. An elderly, robust man dressed in in well worn, splattered blue overalls and a well loved wide brimmed hat stepped out to pump the gas. The engine was still running. He popped the hood, listened, strode off and returned with a 3 foot hollow pipe. One end to his ear, the other to various areas of the engine. "Valve lifter on cylinder #4 is going causing the noise you hear. Best get it fixed". Wow! He was "old school" of knowledge and experience through simple diagnostics. I was blown away! Says volumes about the old day mechanics.
These days if the computer doesn't show a fault code, customer must be wrong about car having a problem. My dad was an A grade motor mechanic and had a stethoscope, I bought my own many years ago.
I have one!!! Every sound is one hundred times louder. I don’t usually use it until I need to know something. I usually forget I have it. Water running through a pipe, haven’t tried that yet! Cheers Steve 🍻 Ed out
I bought one of these when I was 16 years old. I am 53 now. I still have it and still use it. It was a truly worthy investment. Thanks for the great content Steve!
Screwdrivers, etc. work okay, but a short length of garden hose works well, also. Great reminder for us old guys that have forgotten a lot of the old diagnostic ways that still work.
That is really good for listening to belts and things that they run like alternators. I have one of those with a tube and the probe plugs into the tube I got it 40 years ago :)
Wifey's dad, diesel mech. He used to use a 3/8 wood dowel rod. I thought it was the weirdest thing but he kept it with his tools and he used it once in a while.
I remember playing with my fathers mechanics stethoscope when I was a kid back in the 70's. One thing you might want to point out is to not drop it or drag the tip across anything. MAN does that blow your ears out. If you drop it and that tip hits the floor like a spear, JEEZUM CROW does that hurt your ears. POW!!
I've had one for centuries lol. I bought it to listen for knocks in an engine or a lifter tapping. But they make you look like a mechadoctor and impress the customer.
Thanks, good info for those who don't know about it. But I've had one for many, many years. A very handy tool to keep in the toolbox. It's Friday, let's have a beer!
Hi Steve. Diagnostic tools that save you time, pay for themselves. I knew of them years ago, and now I need to get one after your demonstration that shows how useful it'll be 👍
A very useful tool. When I was a kid I used to hold a 1/4" dowel against the housing of whatever bearing I was checking out and put the other end against my ear...sure enough you could hear a bad bearing through the stick. Years later my doctor gave me a stethoscope he was going to replace and I've been using that ever since. Like the idea of the metal rod addition as it would let me reach items I can't reach with a regular stethoscope.
I was a ASE Master technician for about 25 years. My stethoscope was one of my useful diagnostic tools. It will help discover internal problems before they break and cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Great video, great advice.
Steve! Lucky Lager! I live in Vancouver, Wash., site of the last Lucky Lager brewery in the U.S. It was shut down in 1985 and later demolished to make way for a large apartment building. As a reporter for the Columbian, the local newspaper, I watched on the day the brewery’s main tower was torn down. Point of trivia: In the late 1960s or early 1970s someone at Lucky had the idea to reuse beer bottle glass in the production of “glassphalt” - bottle shards mixed with asphalt. A parking lot north of the brewery was paved with this concoction, which proved to be a failure. Over time the surface was nothing more than gravel-like pieces of loose glass bits.
I just found and ordered one that includes an additional extension rod for 217 pesos delivered, which is about 4 bucks. Crazy cheap with 27 ratings at 5.0... which is the best one can get. I'm an ex-pat living in the Philippines. Thanks for the tip bud... & Thumbs Up !!
Great tool that I bought years ago at Princess auto. Works well for diagnosing bad idler wheels and belt tensioners, bearings ect. on vehicles. Never thought to use it on small engines. Great idea. Thank you Steve.
Nice Steve. I have one also. But seams I use a screwdriver mostly. Just touch object with metal end an put handle to your ear. Works good. Usually do that in the field
Somehow I miss this video when it came out. I haven't seen one of those things in years and years. I can see how it would definitely be useful. I think I might just have to go for that! Thank you my friend 👍
Hi Steve, I have a friend that's mechanically inclined. His car broke down on the highway and wouldn't run. He had the car towed to his Dad's house (because it was close by). My friend told his dad that the car's engine quit working on his drive to work and didn't know why. The father said : Get me a 2x4. He took the stick and put it on the engine block. Told his son to turn the key while he had his ear close to the stick. The son turned the key and his dad told him to stop. He said that the distributor was broken. The son took out the distributor and the shaft was broken. Now mechanics have a tool to listen with, even better. Take care. Roland
As a retired paramedic, rotate the ear tips forward at about a 15 degree angle and they'll fit your ears better. Lisle makes one with a funnel and tube accessory useful for air induced sound auscultation. You can use this stethoscope to hear if a gas control valve is opening or closing on a furnace. I think the intention was to use the metal rod against an engine to hear internal grinding and growling not audible to the naked ear. All sorts of uses.
I use them to isolate hydraulic bypassing when doing hydraulic system diagnosis, you can hear the smallest leak in a valve or cylinder. Great time saver.
For modern cars where everything is so jammed up that might be a good idea, but over the past 60 years somehow I always managed with a long screwdriver with the pointy end on the object and the handle pressed against my ear. It would certainly work on a weedeater. For balancing multiple carbs a length of steel pipe was extremely accurate, even though I also had a proper air flow meter. Sometimes simple is good.
I believe you, Steve. I have one of a similar design. I've had it for decades. It's great for finding all the things you mentioned and more, like hearing grinding gears, engine noises, etc. Great examples, by the way.
Steve, I used to use a cutoff broom stick. I could hear grinding and knocking but not a heart beat. You had to make sure you didn't hit the fan or a fan belt and drive it through your brain.
Hi how is everyone doing today. Steve is telling every bit the truth. I have had one for a very long time. They are amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone else to purchase
Yeah Steve, they are great fun to mess with. I was taught to use the same idea on fuel injectors but with either an extra long screwdriver or a long extension bar from a socket set. I've even seen a workman who worked for the water repair company use a 4ft length of metal rod. He'd wander around stopping every so often and use it to listen to the sidewalk or the road. He was doing exactly what you did to for that hot water pipe, just a bigger leak. Him wandering around with his 'Stick' did look a bit odd at first until the science of it was explained to me.
Thanks, Steve! I wonder if you can hear termites in the floor beams. My cat goes to a couple of places around the floor and stands there listening. One place in particular under my desk is a small tin garbage can, and she sticks her head just in the top of it and listens. I am pretty sure she hears something. I just ordered the $ $4 one to see if I can hear anything.
I learned about these nearly 15 years ago and bought 2 of them with an extension to reach difficult areas under the hood of a car. I think I paid $4-$5 for each at Harbor Freight
Works on all kinds of stuff. Used one to find a weird noise emitted from my bicycle. Weird noises on bicycles are toughies. Is it the alternator or the a/c compressor or a belt system issue, is another example
That video Steve, has taken me from 25% to 100%. Better than a stand up comedian. No, seriously that looks like an awesome piece of kit, I need one. The water utility people use poles with ear cups which they hold to the ground to listen for water flow, so I definitely believe you narrative. It’s going on my Christmas wish list. Great video. Andy Out 🍺
55 years ago I would use a long screwdriver. Touch the blade end to whatever you wanted to listen to then lower your temple to the handle. Sound is clear as a bell.
I was able to diagnose an exact issue with a motorcycle engine, just by the sound as I walked around, finding where it was the loudest and picturing in my mind what was there. Told they guy he had a failed bearing inside the engine case that supported an internal shaft to drive the alternator. Told him to keep his mouth shut about what I'd said and to see what the mechanic says from their diagnosis. Confirmed it to a T. It was under warranty, they had to remove the engine and split the cases to access/repair it, which is what I told him would have to happen. I'd'v'e loved to've had that tool in hand in that gas station parking lot. He'd flagged me over as soon as he heard the new noise from his new bike.
The first time I ever saw and got to try one was on a Buick fireball 8 that had a loose rod according to the mechanic it was #5 or 6 and it definitely sounded different from the others. I thought it was kinda cool.
This is a great tool to have in your arsenal, guarantee it. It's great for many things other than automotive work. I am pleased that you brought this up Steve, everyone should know this. Thanks.
What😂😂. Paging Dr. STEVEO, mechanical issue in the workshop 😆. It's definitely a neat concept. I never would have imagined this was possible. Thanks for sharing . Cheers to you and April. Have a fantastic weekend 🍻🍷
I use mine routinely. My fuel pump's haywire and doesn't always kick in, so rather than run the battery down waiting for it to cooperate, I wait till I hear it turn before I crank.
Brilliant tool Steve. Been following you for a long time, but don't always leave a comment. I just looked up this tool on Amazon UK and can get it for £7.00. Thanks for the information. 👌👍👍 I want to ask you a question if you don't mind. I have an old Ryobi Strimmer RCT2800. I put new piston rings on it and cleaned it up. The problem was that the "Reed Valve" came apart and got bent by the piston when it fell inside the engine intake. It is a very simple reed valve with just two parts. I can't find a replacement anywhere. So I am wondering if I can make one. I saw that carbon fiber board can be used and comes in many thicknesses. Can this be done, and would it work? I have the two old metal parts of the valve which are slightly bent. I have wondered if I could even bend them back, or are the measurements very critical? Thanks for any advice mate.

Been doing that since I was a kid with screw drivers. One end on the device, handle to my ear. Works great.
Do the same thing. Learned it from my dad.
Right on
I've done that for years also. I got a cheap stethoscope just with the metal diaphragm and it's amazing how much better and how much it amplifies the sound for locating ball bearing sounds and things like that well worth the five bucks that I paid for it 20 years ago
Same here @llg5048.👍
Yes, I have done that too...stethoscope is so much better...but I have done the same with screwdriver when I was without the stethoscope for sure.

I wear overalls every day. HA. but yea you can tell a lot about an engine when you listen..."listening" is different than "hearing"
These days if the computer doesn't show a fault code, customer must be wrong about car having a problem.
My dad was an A grade motor mechanic and had a stethoscope, I bought my own many years ago.

Good for finding leaks in plumbing too,
Just got one on Amazon, all in (tax and shipping)(I’m in Ontario) for $12!
It was on sale… regular price was $17.
Thanks for the heads up Steve.
They are great for finding the noisy fan pully on your vehicle. I have used a dowel rod.
Yep. The wood amplifies the sound really well. Better than using a screwdriver.
I was a ASE Master technician for about 25 years. My stethoscope was one of my useful diagnostic tools. It will help discover internal problems before they break and cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Great video, great advice.
My dad showed me that trick back in the 70s with a broomstick.
Have one I made myself from a throw away stethoscope a nurse I know had. It is $13 on Amazon here in the states. It is a amazing tool.

Vancouver Island BC also had a Lucky brewery, and it's remained popular with us islanders to this day!
Used to work in a service center and I bought one of those 40 years ago. They are great for finding clicks and ticks in moving assemblies.
I just found and ordered one that includes an additional extension rod for 217 pesos delivered, which is about 4 bucks. Crazy cheap with 27 ratings at 5.0... which is the best one can get. I'm an ex-pat living in the Philippines. Thanks for the tip bud... & Thumbs Up !!
I've had one for many years. I've also used a metal rod and rubber hoses to listen to noises. All worked well.
I've had one for years. Since I work on Harley's one of my customers gave it to me. Love it.
When I was working, I used one continuously throughout the day.
Still use it in occasion
I have had one in my tool box for 30 years...... very handy when needed!
Great tool that I bought years ago at Princess auto.
Works well for diagnosing bad idler wheels and belt tensioners, bearings ect. on vehicles.
Never thought to use it on small engines.
Great idea.
Thank you Steve.
Been a mechanic for my years love this it is so old school u can also hear elec switchs going on an off awesome
Nice Steve. I have one also. But seams I use a screwdriver mostly. Just touch object with metal end an put handle to your ear. Works good. Usually do that in the field

Great vid! Already have a stethoscope (and agree with you), used on engines, but not walls... yet!! 😄😄
Love that story about you and your Dad!!♥️♥️😇😇🙏🙏. No wonder you are you!! What a great man.

I have one of these, and I've never used it. I saw it, and thought it would be a good tool to have, so I bought it. I need to make more use of it.
Yup great tool, I have one in my tool box. Handy for heavy equipment repairs too.
Cheers from NB
Yeah my dad was a mechanic too yeah he would listen to inside the motor with one of those things awesome video thank you
We use to use an ultrasound to detect bypassing on hydraulic valves. Different but same purpose.
Hi just ordered one thanks Steve
I agree. I've had mine for over 30 years.
Thanks Steve
I use them to isolate hydraulic bypassing when doing hydraulic system diagnosis, you can hear the smallest leak in a valve or cylinder. Great time saver.
thats so old school! dad had one!peice of wood works too!

Good to see your face Again Steve ☺️💯. All l use to use was a screwdriver over 50 years AGO. From Melbourne AUSTRALIA 👍🤠
Hi how is everyone doing today. Steve is telling every bit the truth. I have had one for a very long time. They are amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone else to purchase
That tool looks like it would come in real handy Steve! Thanks! 👍👍
You mean I don’t have to stick a screwdriver in my ear any more? Sweet!
Yeah Steve, they are great fun to mess with. I was taught to use the same idea on fuel injectors but with either an extra long screwdriver or a long extension bar from a socket set.

Right on Buddy! That is super cool...
Been doing this forever with screwdriver or long extension. Thanks Steve
COOL!
I have used one for many years. They are amazing.
They do work great for high Noise enviroments to find that stinking noise.
Got mine about 45 years ago.
Thanks, Steve!
I wonder if you can hear termites in the floor beams. My cat goes to a couple of places around the floor and stands there listening.

I’ve had one for a long time works great for finding bad bearings and pulleys nothing new
Works great for finding bad pulley bearings.
I learned about these nearly 15 years ago and bought 2 of them with an extension to reach difficult areas under the hood of a car. I think I paid $4-$5 for each at Harbor Freight
Works on all kinds of stuff. Used one to find a weird noise emitted from my bicycle. Weird noises on bicycles are toughies.
Is it the alternator or the a/c compressor or a belt system issue, is another example
Ive seen it done, with one from a medical supply store or with a long screwdriver
That video Steve, has taken me from 25% to 100%. Better than a stand up comedian. No, seriously that looks like an awesome piece of kit, I need one.

COOL!
Great tip had a machanic use one to identify a bad center bearing on my Ute's tailshaft
Right on
Hey Steve, just for fun, next time you crack open a cold brew, stick the tip of that stethoscope in the can and listen to the carbonation!
Cheers! 🍺
Good vidio, thank you sir and have a blessed day America
Awesome video God Bless you and your family Amen
Great video Steve
Always learning something with your videos
I was able to diagnose an exact issue with a motorcycle engine, just by the sound as I walked around, finding where it was the loudest and picturing in my mind what was there. Told they guy he had a failed bearing inside the engine case that supported an internal shaft to drive the alternator. Told him to keep his mouth shut about what I'd said and to see what the mechanic says from their diagnosis. Confirmed it to a T.

You can check fuel injectors on a car or truck with it , you can actually hear them click open to determine if one might be clogged
Love it nice Great memories thanks god bless😊
Awesome , thanks brother !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
The first time I ever saw and got to try one was on a Buick fireball 8 that had a loose rod according to the mechanic it was #5 or 6 and it definitely sounded different from the others. I thought it was kinda cool.
Great tool that's for sure 👍🏻
Or a brass rod or welding rod works also 😊😊😊
Thanks for sharing this information and advice
It’s going to help someone 😊😊😊
This is a great tool to have in your arsenal, guarantee it. It's great for many things other than automotive work. I am pleased that you brought this up Steve, everyone should know this.
Thanks.
Couldn't agree more!
Had one for years Steve. They are definitely handy 👍
Great suggestion Steve. Thanks!
You're Welcome...
What😂😂. Paging Dr. STEVEO, mechanical issue in the workshop 😆. It's definitely a neat concept. I never would have imagined this was possible. Thanks for sharing . Cheers to you and April. Have a fantastic weekend 🍻🍷
I wear one with my white decorators smock whenever i visit a hospital. Never heard anything but i get to see a lot.
What do you decorate at a hospital?
@@geedubb2005 No i just get mistaken for a medic .. (joke)
COOL!..... can you hear tomorrow coming? :))))
Good tip, Thanx Steve!!
Those are far better than the old moto mechanic's screwdriver blade against something and handle to the ear.
Right on
Ordered, thanks Steve
Right on
Sounds fun. I like toys - specially ones that actually do something useful. Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.
Our pleasure!
Awesome idea
The videos and the stories great Steve , keep them coming.
Mark
Thanks, will do!
I use mine routinely. My fuel pump's haywire and doesn't always kick in, so rather than run the battery down waiting for it to cooperate, I wait till I hear it turn before I crank.
Awesome tool to have. Great video!
Can you use it to locate an underground spring for a new well location? Easier than driving a pipe down to listen.
Nice video!
Loved it!
Cool, all applications
“WHAT?” Haha. I ordered these for my co-workers then showed them how to track down noises in pumps and motors.
Steve, need your help. I just got a stihl ms291 saw. The fuel tank vent is plugged how do I get to it?
Calling Dr Howard Dr Fine Dr Howard
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
