- Synthetic Grease Better than Lucas Red-n-Tacky? Red Line vs Royal Purple. Let's see if either or both of these synthetic greases are better than Lucas Red-n-Tacky. Grease brands compared for film strength, water resistance, adhesion, ability to block corrosion, and cold temperature performance. I purchased both products and never accept sponsorships to ensure unbiased reviews. So, thanks for supporting the channel.

Someone get this man the official test equipment damn it! He does more to show us that these things work or don't work with homemade solutions than any other testing company.
Thanks for watching!
I think the rigs he makes are better than some laboratory crap any day!
Most all lab stuff for this type of testing is made by hand. You don't just open catalogs and order stuff like this.
That's the beauty of this channel, a little Rube Goldberg ish!!
@@leftyeh6495 If there is a standard test method at least 1 or more companies make test equipment for it. You open a catalog, a sales guy shows up with a demo unit and assuming it meets your validation verification accuracy repeatability reproducibility precision yadda yadda requirements you fork over a negotiated $$$$ with a non disclosure and maybe a maintenance contract, "free" training thrown in :) How much moisture is in your grease? there's the cheap $1000 unit and the standard $10,000 unit. Unless you're huge, outside test labs can afford to own some of this stuff and use it for multiple customers and applications. There's a standard approved cotton ball, standard approved tape, standard approved lead barn shot (for testing wire nuts who knew) .......a whole hidden world of business to business and standardized test activity.
.02 PF's Rube Goldberg test setups are pretty intuitive.
I would like to see a strength comparison test on all the different PVC glues with primer versus no primer.
Thank you for the video idea!
I would be curious about w/ primer and w/o. Back in the day there was no primer at all and joints always seemed fine.
That is a great idea! I bet Christy's Hot Glue is #1 with primer after only 1 hour cure in All weather. No primer would have to be Oatey Fusion
This is a fantastic idea
@@eipi5173 that’s what I noticed too. My mom and dads house doesn’t have primer on the water lines and I don’t think there’s ever been a leak at any of the joints. I used the primer on all of the water lines in my house but maybe I didn’t need to.
How does it make you feel to know that when it comes to tools, lubricants, and vehicle stuff, you're my go-to for reviews?
I've bought so many things and switched to different brands over the last 3-4 years just because of your reviews. Really appreciate you doing all these unbiased and unsponsored tests!
Totally agree. I actually have a list of stuff I will switch when I run out. Lol
You are welcome! Thanks for your vote of confidence!
@@ProjectFarm i have yet to be disappointed by products that finished on top in your tests.

Such thorough testing. Unreal how much pressure is required to pull apart those grease discs/plates. Thanks for the great testing video!
Thank you very much!!
Is the grease providing all the strength or the vacuum seal it creates? Hummm...
@@mickjager5974 its a viscosity test , the thicker the fluid the more "suction" it creates
@@oudonbail Well yeah normally if you want air pressure to make to metal pieces, like gauge blocks, cling together you wipe off all the oil or grease first. But I'm wondering if only grease was between to blocks you'd still get some vacuum affect and not all just viscosity. Guess you'd have to do the test in a vacuum and compare the difference.

Now this is a question I ask my self almost every single time I go to use a grease and buy Grease, I look at both contemplate and then usually choose the synthetic.
Great choice! The synthetic greases in this video are amazing! Much better performers than I had anticipated!
Hey there, hope you have a good weekend too!😎👍🏻
@@ProjectFarm you forgot to do the taste test, thats the most important one
@@ProjectFarm Can you test chainsaw bar and chain oils? General purpose, summer only grade, and winter only grade and in multiple brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Mystik, Tractor Supply and others?
@@ProjectFarm Definitely beyond what I would have guessed, and apparently better than the pricey synthetic I have been using for more than 10 years! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
“We’re gonna test that!” Should be your signature slogan lol.
It is

@@sluvington where?
Thank you!!
@@TheDeepDiveLLC gotcha, thanks. 📝
Looks like we need a grease showdown similar to the oil showdown using amsoil as well as other higher end names. Great job on all your tests btw!
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm If you do, please include iXL Premium #2. It's a trucker's favorite.
@@ProjectFarm if you do don't forget super lube multi-purpose synthetic grease. I would like to see the different types of grease tested, like ones containing moly, PTFE, graphite, ceramic, and silicone.
Also would be interested to see superlube included.
@@ProjectFarm please include Schaefer's if you do this.
Just re-greased the wheel bearings on a vehicle of mine that sees track use, I used Redline CV2. I knew the grease was highly recommended but glad to see it proved here! Thanks!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Did you notice a big difference? Need to regrease the front wheel bearings and was looking at getting it.
@@zorpman It is a 240sx so it's still on jack stands so I can't provide feedback yet haha.

No end to the creativity and entertainment value of PF! Especially helpful is your quick summary of product claims and marketing hype that serves as the basis for your well-engineered and practical tests. I’ll never miss a video and rewatch them often.
Thanks!
I now refer to you as the "godfather" of reviewers. You are truly the most effective & honest reviewer on the internet. I follow your recommendations religiously !!!! They have always been spot on. Thank you my friend.
Thank you for the positive feedback! This means a lot to me!
Definitely one of the few you can trust, not just trying to peddle a certain brand and gives credit where credit is due.
"But before we begin I'd like to take a moment to thank this video's sponsor" annoys me so much. I really appreciate Todd's way of refusing sponsorships. No Raid shadow legends around these parts.
I usually don’t even have to use or purchase the items like the things that you test in your videos, but I can’t get enough just the way that you’re so thorough when you test everything so accurately and in depth you seriously go to great lengths to make sure that you waste your money and we don’t, and your commentary just makes it so worthwhile I could binge watch all of your videos multiple times! Keep making the great content can’t wait to see more videos your channel is so underrated but this is the kind of content UA-cam was made for!
Thanks, will do!
i can’t count the times I’ve gone “but is he gonna test…oh there it is”
Having just replaced part of a pipe in my house, I'd love to see you test the strength and freeze resistance of copper vs. PEX, PVC, and also "shark bite" fittings vs. older methods of connecting pipes.
He already did that. Shark bites are to be avoided.
@@galvanizedgnome I'll have to go back and look. Must've missed that one.
@@galvanizedgnome Shark Bites are fine under normal loads, PF's torture tests (which are not indicative of real world usage unless you have an extreme use case) are another story.
Didn't think pvc was good for potable water. Copper will definitely split before pex Copper will not return to form after expansion pex will to a point.
PEX A can take a tremendous amount of abuse and by nature is always trying to get back to its original state. PEX B can still take a fair bit of abuse (more than copper) but does not share the flexibility or the resilience of PEX A. With a little heat A can be unkinked B not so much.
Thanks, I really enjoyed this test!
I have not used either of these brands, but I have seen the massive differences in greases. I used to have a work truck with a welder powered by a modified Leece-Neville alternator. The bearings went out in that after a couple years. I replaced them with aftermarket bearings and used Lucas green grease. That lasted about 5 years. The next bearings I put in with factory grease from the bearing maker. Got about 6 months. Put in another set, cleaned and repacked with Lucas green and that lasted more than 7 years!
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
Bring out the film strength tester. We're gonna need it in this episode! I'm so glad. I love watching that thing work!
Thank you very much!
I love how thorough you are in these video comparisons. Thank you for the information. You've helped me out on a couple of occasions already.
Thanks! Great to hear!
BOY!!! That looked like a MESSY video to make. Great job, as usual. I always look forward to these. Thanks for doing them for us.
You are welcome! Yes indeed it was a messy video to make!
Yet another highly informative and non-biased set of tests easily relatable to real world conditions.Keep up the good work as we need folds like you to show us real life analogies.
Thanks, will do!
Great job PF, again! I was a grease monk in food industry, and tested several food grade greases in the field. The main enemy was water, and in general the Calcium Complex greases performed best.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
I really like that you referenced the actual test you're using/emulating! I'd love to know in your future videos if you're referencing other standardized tests.
Thanks for the feedback.
The amount of preparation that goes into your videos is on another level. Still will never forget years ago running across a video of yours watching thinking wow that was cool. Here I am looking foreword to all your new videos. Keep it up buddy!
Wow, thank you, will do!
Im glad you finally got around to testing grease again, thanks for everything you do Todd!
My pleasure!
How well does it compare to elbow grease?
Wish you compared the different types (EP, Lithium, marine, etc) to explain which to buy. Many people seem to not understand the types or uses, and just buy "grease" at the store.
This may be irrelevant to the grease conversation but I have had experience with RP 100 wt. used in babbitt bearings where the oil was displaced with extremely hot water. It is not known how long the condition was present (less than 2 hrs max) but the pump was run at high rpms with no visible damage to the bearing. That would not have been the case with regular oil we had been using. Even displaced there remained a film of protection on the surface of the bearing. I am not discounting any other brand just anecdotal experience with Royal Purple 100 wt. oil.
Thanks for the video idea.
I drive people crazy watching your channel,I just love how you are so fair and unbiased. Have you ever done a review on grass seed brands??
Thank you for the video idea!
Great comparison! I am watching your channel all the time now and look forward to your new ones! Thank you for all your hard work to give everyone a clear and concise comparison for all the products you show!
Thanks and you are welcome! Great to hear!
Good to see another video from PF again.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I certainty did. When these videos aren’t guiding my purchases, they are still very entertaining.
Long time subscriber and love your tests! My one suggestion would be that when performing shootouts among high priced options like this, including an inexpensive alternative would be great to compare.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Your test are getting more and more professional by the video! This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this videos.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I used Lucas Red - N -Tacky in my commercial landscape equipment, Exmark mowers and Sthill trimmers, edgers and hedge clippers. Over 5 years I never lost a mower spindle or head in any of the Sthill equipment.
I been using Red Line CV-2 for about 20 years, so this test was of interest to me. I see no reason to abandon Red Line grease. Interested testing methods with good procedures.
Great grease and thank you!
I'd love to see you take a look at wire wheels. Flying wires are a big hazard with these and knowing which wheels throw the least wires while still performing well would be great.
Yes, a super eye safety concern of mine. I have been buying higher end wheels from welding supplies ang have had very good results. All the imports got tossed in our shop......
Should invest in your eye protection as well.
Thanks for the video idea.
Bloody hell that's a great suggestion!
@@jmabs5096 Always. Never use wire wheels without glasses and a face shield. Thing is that you have people around you, and those wires find their way into anything lol.
I'm always amazed on all the test jigs you manage to put together for these tests... You know what would be a cool video, showing all your test jigs you've made over the years.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Great set of tests, very well executed. Good job yet again. This channel has saved me cash and increased productivity for sure. Thanks!
Thanks and you are welcome! Glad to hear!
Love that CV-2 on bicycle bearings, still rolling well after 3y, after this test even more pleased with it, thanks PF.
Great to hear!
Agreed. Except for seatposts and stems (too slick for those applications) I use it everywhere.
Great testing, as it always is! Two things could have this even better, add Amsoil as another well known synthetic grease, and a top brand of organic grease of an equivalent grade. A cold temp grease shear test would be would round-up typical real-world needs. Thanks for your hard work to show us what the best stuff is. I always check your videos before buying new things.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Hey,
Thanks for putting out these great tests, and showing unbiased results. Over the years you've tested so much stuff, from this grease, to knife sharpeners, to dry wall hanging screws that have directly influenced my purchasing choices.
The great content and well thought out approaches to your tests are appreciated
Thanks and you are welcome!
This review is so thorough. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I would love to see a grease showdown like what you did with all the oil brands. I am using Amsoil grease now and would like to know where it would land on the bracket when compared to other synthetic grease. Great job BTW!
Thanks! Thanks for the video idea.
@@ProjectFarm motul vs amsoil
That's what I was just thinking, I'm very curious to see how these brands stack against Aeroshell, for example. Aeroshell Grease 22 for bearings and also 33, 58, 64, these are Lithium based.
What version of Amsoil grease? They make like 6 different types.
@@BeingMe23 all of them of course
Todd, another fantastic test and unique idea!! Just when I shrug my shoulders and almost give up on ideas - you come marching in! I almost exclusively used Mobil1 Synthetic grease in a gun but I have been very disappointed in the way it separates and makes a huge messy puddle under the grease gun.
Thank you very much!
I have the red line and it leaks in a grease gun as well. But I am not sure what your concept of huge is though. Mine made a mess that required a paper towel
I use Amzoil..the extreme pressure..Certified is better but must buy 48 tubes. Certified is similar to Texas Refinery.
I've had the red and tacky separate also which was surprising honestly quite the puddle under the gun I thought atf had spilled
WOW! These were results I didn't expect. Well done.
Thanks!
This is always so informative. Testing the hydrophobic qualities really helped me pick which grease to use in my rc rock crawler
Thanks for the feedback.
I have a lot of trouble with grease separating and making a mess. I was recommended Green Grease and so far I've had good results. Might consider adding it to your tests at some point.
Great suggestion! Thanks
I have found that all grease seperates, the only thing that helps is storing it sideways.
Hi Todd, great test. I used mobile one synthetic and had no problems with the backhoe zero fittings, but noticed my grease gun dripping the red base oil on to the floor from my bench. Now have switched to Arch oil grease and have better results on the tractor and the walk behind mower. Thanks
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Yeah Mobil one grease separates through the cardboard
Royal purple grease does the same thing with the separation.
I stopped using the Mobil 1 because it dripped red oil badly when I used it to grease my front suspension and steering linkages.
Found this video just browsing and it is one of the first ones ive seen on here with the topic/test previews. I like it! Bring it back 🤩
Thanks!
I miss these projects. Love the tool reviews, but nice to your still doing this
Thanks!
Love this. I use grease a lot and a few different brands for different jobs. Will be interesting to see what your findings are
Thank you!
As always, great content.
Much appreciated!
This channel is by far the best comparison channel with each video. Very helpful for me in the future. I wouldn't be surprised if you switch to tools to which coffee creamer is best for my morning coffee.
Before I buy a tool, gear oil, etc. I review your YT videos. I ordered five tubes of the CV-2! Thanks for the great help and guidance!
You are welcome!
Loved your independence and testing methods as always.
Regarding the measurement of the wear scars on the bearings: It seems to me that the wear on the bearings is exponential as opposed to linear because the contacted area increases with increased wear. For example a 10% bigger scar might mean 40% more wear. Would like to see if there is a possibility to account for that.
Could you test oil additives that claim to restore rubber engine seals next?
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the video idea.
Best UA-camr hands down
Thank you very much!
We're gonna test that😂
Lubrication is a field to itself for a reason! So many variables to sort through to decide which lubricant is right for a given application. There is almost always compromises that must be made when selecting. Great tests as always.
Thanks!
PF never disappoints! Great job as usual
Thanks and you are welcome!
Usually the grease base is what can cause bad reactions. Both of these being aluminum it makes sense they didn't react. Mixing red n tacky, lithium based, or Xtra duty, poly urea based, could have caused a negative reaction. These greases are closer to Lucas Marine grade
Thanks for the feedback.
@@ProjectFarm I don't care if they did separate. I greased once a day and sometimes more, depending on the situation so if they bled they'd get a fresh snort before long.
@@lewiemcneely9143 Absolutely. Anytime you put grease into a zerk someone has before you you have no idea what kind of grease is in there. Personally I really don't think it is as big as deals people make it. The worst that I've seen can happen is you'll get a little bit of a essentially gear oil consistency mixed in with the grease. Sometimes that makes the grease flow/move around better. But I don't think I've ever seen a failed piece of equipment where they pinpointed the cause as being somebody put the wrong type of grease in it.
@@sixtyfiveford I've never seen that greasing too much is a real wear issue. It's not getting the grease is what causes wear. And any grease beats no grease but no grease will bite you. Might take a while but it will. I always greased up at quitting time when the machine and grease gun were warm and the fittings and bearings/bushings took it easier. And I've herded worn out stuff all my life and a little grease/oil will make life a WHOLE lot better. Please scratch Ginger for me and GBWYall!
I was thinking going to a good marine geese for my side by side since we always seem to be muddy
Wow! I've been using the Lucas Red & Tacky stuff, but I think I'm gonna switch to Redline after this! Both brands did impressively well, but the wear scar was definitely the winning factor for me. I'd rather have bearings last longer!
Thank you for the feedback!
That's the great thing about this channel, finding out there is a better product that you could be using 👍
Wear scar AND the MUCH higher heat handling.
@@Josh-ce9sv In theory it won't have to deal with that because the lower friction will prevent it from getting hot in the first place
A pretty slippery test. I'm always amazed how you test things and how applicable they are to the real world. Keep the goodness coming.
dope video! one step that would make the separation test even more fair is using the drill press with the weight on it to press it on so its the same pressure to start with. probably wont matter much tho but amazing vids man
Molybdenum (moly) in grease is pretty amazing. Under a microscope, it looks like a bunch of tiny ball bearings. Great for friction bearings, but can cause sliding in tight tolerance roller bearings. Great video.
Thanks!
Interesting, what is considered tight tolerance for bearings?
@@creating...6001 ever heard of google
@@creating...6001 personally, any tapered roller bearing under preload.
@@creating...6001 or high speed bearings.
I would love to see a test of headlamps for various purposes and see how their lumens and casing holds up to their claims of durability!
Thanks for the video idea.
Great report - thanks for testing and posting. Thumbs up!
The prices on all automotive parts have gone way up recently.Thank you for all your hard work that will help us get our money's worth. You are the best!!
Thank you!
great testing methods!!!!
Thank you!
I've always heard that some synthetic grease doesn't mix well with natural grease, which I'd assume is why they include a warning to clean away older grease before applying a new type. I've never actually seen what it looks like to mix incompatible grease, though, so that would be interesting to see if you happen to test more types of grease in the future.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Huge fan! I was just shopping on line for a power inverter for my car in case the power goes out in my house and thought that would be a great idea for you to test. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
Dang I love your videos. Great conversation pieces, learning events, and occasionally argument enders. I'd like to suggest something I haven't seen yet, testing different bolt grades, materials, thread pitch etc. Clamping force of a torqued bolt dry and lubricated to see the difference at given torque. Shear strength, tensile strength, thread strength, stretch... the possibilities are endless. I teach a fasteners class at my work and many of these concepts are either unknown to many or seriously misunderstood. Thanks for all that you do and keep this awesome content coming.
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the video idea.
Oh yeah! More lubricant tests!
Thank you very much!!!
I always opt for synthetic lubricants, glad to see i've been making the right choice all these years!
Great choice!
From my experience using synthetic oil in older cars is not a good idea.
Love your videos! They are always helpful in my search of products for my motors and equipment.
Great to hear! Thanks!
Don’t know if you’ve ever done a video consisting of your bloopers and out takes, but I think that might make for a good video just for fun. Thanks for your dedication to product testing, excellent as always!!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
I would have loved to see how this synthetic grease category held up against the winner in the standard grease category (RED N TACKY), as the control sample.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I've tried a lot of different grease cat has seemed to work the best for me
Great information! Thank you
As usual great testing and well done. Thanks for your videos Man
Thanks and you are welcome!
Have you ever thought of devising a test to compare different brands of brake cleaner? I searched your channel but didn't find that test. I really appreciate the videos...well done! Cheers!
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.
Todd, I have two questions for you. Did you try any of the tests on the combined greases to see if the benefits of both created the best possible outcome. Second, on average how long does it take you to create a video, because the time, effort, and attentions to fair testing is quite amazing.
I think this is a great idea. However, a longggg term test would be needed
Someone didn't watch the video
That was my thought as well to run tests with the 2 combined.
Why people often think that when mixing anything the benefits of both created the best possible outcome? Why not negatives from both would not combine to create worth possible outcome? Equally possible :))
Great as usual! But any chance some crazy engine videos will ever be done again?
I'll do it if there's' enough interest. Any suggestions on what you'd like to see tested?
@@ProjectFarm I think a few years back I mentioned about seeing how high of a oil ratio a 2 stroke engine can still run without seizing, something like 150:1, 200:1 etc. For product testing would contractor trash bags be a good test? Always annoying when items poke through some sure some brands have to better than other.
@@ProjectFarm Marshmallow fluff as oil? :-D
Those videos were alot of fun, I enjoyed them. Watching this video made me wonder how well would a lawnmower engine run if it's oil was replaced with grease. I'm assuming you might have to use a grease with a low temperature drop point. You haven't done that already right? Lol
@@kylefowler5082 I don’t think he has the one where he cooked bacon in a crankcase of a small engine was awesome if you have not seen it. Maybe around a 2017-2018 video.
"We're Gonna Test That" ~~
should be a t-shirt!
Love the channel!
There is a t-shirt! Go to www.project-farm.com to view and purchase.
Fantastic video. I was looking for tests on the redline just a couple weeks ago. Couldn’t find anything to justify 20$. So I bought some Lucas red n tacky after seeing you video on it. But…… next purchase will be the Redline!!!!!! Thanks again !
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
Would love to see a gear/diff oil shootout like you did with motor oils. Really curious about Redline Shockproof oils. They claim to have the film strength of a very thick oil, yet the viscosity of a thin oil.
It has the aforementioned viscosity at specific high temp operations, but during colder operation the stuff is very thick, too thick. I use it, but cut it with a regular 80w90 diff fluid.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Great video! Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear you compare these results to Lucas Red-N-Tacky. Do you feel that either of these outperformed the Lucas grease?
Really awesome job of making your own version of the ASTM tests! Synthetic is always better. I use Schaeffers Synthetic grease they have several types. Its important to use the right type for the job for maximum life and wear resistance.
Thank you for sharing!
Missed these kind of videos. Very good testing.
Thanks!
👍🏼 That first test rig would make great molasses cookies! 😋😉✌🏼
lol. NIce!
Great job, Todd! However I was looking forward to seeing a head to head with Red and Tacky. How does it compare without me having to go back through the older videos?
I had no idea his name was Todd, and I’ve been watching his videos for a long time 😭😭
I am also wondering this. The video title was misleading.
Great video, excellent thorough testing, nice work as always!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I use these videos as a buyers guide. Been watching them for years. Has there ever been a video on octane boosters? Like do they do anything? are they necessary ? Do they clean combustion chambers? Or add horse power/gas mileage? I think this channel is the most objective and I appreciate that. Thank you for your hard work!
You are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.
Not sure about adding power but in boosters the advertising is decieving. It takes 10 octane POINTS to make 1 octane NUMBER. 93 octane + a 5 point booster makes 93.5 octane.
You should try other greases like in the motor oil shootout. Not many know about this brand but lubriplate is some really awesome grease. It’s like the amsoil of greases. The 1200 series and 1242 series would be compatible to most other greases.
Bel-Ray is another good one.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Nye also makes some high quality grease as well.
Made me think of grease gun comparison. Grease guns piss me off.
Thank you for the video idea! I tested the battery grease guns in the past but not the mechanical ones yet.
Great testing as usual! I've used both Red-n-Tacky and Valvoline Durablend for disc brake hub bearings and suspension lubrication. I've used Durablend much longer, for many years. No problems with either. But, I settled on Durablend because it just seems better than the Red-n-Tacky, although it's just a feeling, like it seems to have better adhesion to the wheel bearings for example. Would be interesting to see Durablend tested. Thanks!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
You do such an amazing job at testing different stuff love your videos
Thanks!
Can you test the same brand grease like shaeffers but with a moly and non moly grease that are as identical as possible to show the benefits of moly in grease for wear?
I'll do it if there's enough interest. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@ProjectFarm one thing I noticed between the two greases tested in this video is redline had red moly added where royal purple didn’t have any so that may have been a contributing factory to the difference in the wear scar.
Both of these seem like fantastic products. Based on your testing, it seems like you get exactly what you pay for with grease, and cheap grease just isn't worth it unless it's an emergency!
Great point! Thank you
@@joesgarage2493 not the case. See Project Farm's videos on motor oil.
I've got an old tub of fairly cheap lm2 and it's just for greasing fasteners, screws etc!
Would love to see a video on cordless caulk guns! Your videos are extremely helpful for finding the best tools for the job :)
Thanks for the video idea.
Thank you for all the videos. Its saves people lots of money.
You are welcome!
I'd have liked to see what the mixture could do. More hydrophobic and able to handle a bit higher temps, that sort of thing. No complaints though as you've been pumping out a lot of content lately.
I've found mixing greases and oils you don't gain the best of both worlds, but you do gain the worst of both worlds
Best sprinkler design and nozzle head? Hunter, toro, rainbird, mp rotator
Thanks for the video idea.
I just commented in your last video about how it would be great to see more oil etc stuff again love it! They both seem very good always been a huge Red line fan
Thanks for sharing.
Hey, I know you read comments and take suggestions. I’d love to see a “shop tour” video and especially see the huge stockpile of tools you must have. I know your tests destroy a certain amount of tools, but you must have the most tools of any man out there.
Curious the reason why you didn’t include Amsoil Synthetic grease? After all, Amsoil products usually outperform their competitors.
Thanks for the suggestion.
@@ProjectFarm
Thanks for answering. Perhaps, will be included in a future comparison.
So are they better than the Lucas red and tacky?
Great test, having previously rebuilt and repacked CV joint axle shafts on a German sports car, this test confirmed my choice of lubricant, thanks,
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Hey man I really really enjoy your content and I really enjoy the videos where you test different oils with the lubricity test, the cold flow test, and then you send them off to a lab and show us the ppm of the products.. but I notice you don't really have any videos doing that on different brands (super tech, oriley and autozone housebrands, valvoline etc.) and different types of transmission fluid (Mercon 4, Mercon 6, Type F, CVT Trans fluid, ect.) I would like to see this done with transmission fluid. And then at the end of it all you could do a competition like you had Amsoil vs Pennzoil in a showdown type of video. Love you content and Im a huge fan. Felt this was a good idea.
I've wanted to see the same with trans fluid.
