    I’m 48 so I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I always have to seek guidance in electrical matters. This is hands-down the best instructional video for what for me is a difficult subject. Thank you!

      I’m glad I was able to help. I try my hardest to simplify each of my videos so that everyone can understand them. Even if they don’t know anything on the topic. Thanks for watching.

    Dude, you're the first person to ever successfully explain to me the difference between amps and volts. I've asked so many people, and it's never sunk in. Thank you

    • @equisader
      @equisader 2 роки тому +1

      I agree! Electricity was really mindbending for me. When he said about volts and if a 12 volt battery is reading under it may need charging i think i understood it. I remember my physics teacher saying it's potential energy. POTENTIAL ENERGY! Yup you can keep saying the same words but it doesn't help me!
      With this explanation i thought of voltage as a glass of water. If only half full i potentially have half a drink. So a 12v battery reading 6 volts has only half the POTENTIAL energy it would if it was fully charged. I think i understand it better after this video. I'm now going around the house testing batteries 😁🤣

    The best teachers always seem to be those who enjoy giving information to others, rather than showing how much they know and you don’t. This video was short, simple and full of enthusiasm. Before this video I watched one that was long, boring and left me more confused. Thank you, I now know what I’m capable of.

    You have no idea how much I needed this. After the electricians stopped by and put meter on motor wires, and said yep your pool pump is dead. Thats $115 with your senior discount. Thanks, I can now read my own meter that I have owned for years.

    Excellent job. Appreciate your detailed, no frills, yet pleasantly spoken instructions. "Subscribed" as soon as your labeling of Volts, & humorous diagram, giving "example explanation" appeared, as you spoke: was evident to me, just as stated: "For Beginners", ...& any instruction you give, is sure to be of value, & easily understood.
    ((So many "How to Video" instructors, come to camera with apparent "assumptions", of knowledge by their viewers, or possibly: assume a "target audience" & certain, steps & terms: "givens")0, Thank you, for your Beginner post.

    @spambaconspamspam 6 років тому +3

    Not only was the audio clear, you were also concise, relevant & informative. This video is an excellent example of how to make a "How-To" video.
    *There were just a few parts of the video where the subject object was was not lit well... several times your meter's front panel was difficult to see (seems to be a result of the meter's design). Also, the battery test was difficult to see with ease... the stud holes you used were hidden in shadow. I only point these out because your video was so damn excellent, that it's worth pointing them out. These small items are just spit and polish, whereas most UA-cam videos start off with a swan dive into the fail pool and never come back up.

    • @MAGSHowToVideos
      @MAGSHowToVideos  6 років тому

      spambaconspamspam thanks for taking the time to critique the video and give me some helpful feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Hopefully it helped you out. I remember when I first started putting this video together. If I recall it took me 18 hours to put it together. I find that using my free time to help others out is more valuable and worth while. And as a bonus I get to do what I love (Make Videos). If you really enjoyed this video, which it sure sounds like it (if you haven’t already) feel free to help me out by Liking, Subscribing, and Sharing this video. That and feel free to check out some of my others. Thanks again for the feedback!

      Except they dont want us to be independent, the only thing we have is the people who take us in, and the people we try to learn of, doesnt mean that person is peoples parentes cus i see many parrents not giving a fuck about their child, which they easily could learn how to be badass, fuck this school shit, home educate! You know whats best for ur children, take responsibility or they Will abandon you in your shit, gear up for this new shit world, its way ahead of ud
