How about doing a "behind the scenes" video showing you (and any team members) from start to finish setting up all the tests for a video. Show how long, maybe what was tried but later discarded ( tests, jigs, etc) and just give us an idea of how you get to a finished video. Thanks

    Great video, as usual!!!
    It IS unfortunate a LOT of 'USA companies' are importing their products and simply riding the coattails of their name.
    I've seen it with auto parts for over the past 40 years while working at various 'mom and pop' stores.
    The once grand companies which were renowned for quality are simply shells of their former glory.
    My opinion is.... IF you're gonna have your headquarters in the U.S. you better be building your product here also.

      Stick with the cheap stuff then. Like harbor freight. Those tools except for ICON are super cheap and safely have a few good uses out of them while doing the intended job they are meant for. I bought a super cheap set of Pittsburg 1/2" impact sockets years ago for $30 on sale. To this day I still rely on them at my shop and surprisingly have minimal wear. I call that a win especially when an upgraded 1/2" set with Snap-on or Matco ranges from $300 to $490.
      So his videos save us lots of money, just wished he tested more professional brands or high end brands for mechanics piece of mind. A lot of the stuff he tests does not hold up in a shop atmosphere

    You actually have a seal of approval whether you are aware of it or not. You have certainly made it to the big time. People TRUST you and companies are aware and VALUE your recommendation.
    It is at this point where others have sold out, people that had gained a measure of trust and then began to shill for companies and sell out their audience. I don’t think you’re gonna do that. I don’t even think we have to ask you not to do that. You are clearly having too much fun doing what you’re doing on your own terms.

    Might be a little late in the year to make sense for the channel to start testing this year, but I'd love to see a comparison of some of the water filtering systems designed to be used with garden hoses for car washing. I have such hard water it's impossible to avoid terrible water spotting, but would rather save the money if they don't work reasonably well. Thanks for all the fantastic videos!

      The turtlewax hybrid solutions ceramic spray wax, same product line as the one in the video, has helped tremendously. It's sprayed on while the car is still wet before drying the car off with microfiber. The alcohol in the spray helps to quickly dry the car before spots appear.

Works out better than nothing, but sometimes I don't have the time available or get distracted, or just before winter I like a couple coats of Collinite "Super Double Coat" which seems to get a negative impact in terms of longevity over the winter when layered on top (it's possible I'm imagining the results though).

    Video suggestion: I would love to see you test lead acid battery banks used for solar, or house batteries on boats.
    Some people say you should "equalize the batteries" monthly, and others say no, that takes life off the battery.
    Does equalizing extend or degrade the life of a lead acid battery?

Nearly all of those brands are now manufactured in China with noticeably lower standards of material and workmanship. I appreciate that you mention where each tool you review is made.

You cobble ("cobble" in this instance is a positive term), ,together ingenious testing schemes from common, easily available materials of low cost , thereby achieving near professional test lab grade results ! Engineering schools would do well to adopt some (or all !!) of your methodologies.
