It's outrageous that a tool would come from the factory with a hatchet mark on it.
It’ll be like used panties one day. We’ll buy those with AvE’s hatchet marks for a lotsa extra.
@@absurdengineering wait you buy used panties 😕
@@zack6892 do you not?
@@noahlail4018 Thanks for that, made me laugh
Where most companies have been investing in their own profits, Harbor Freight has been investing in quality. I think they are positioning themselves to pick up where Sears Craftsman left off.
I think you're right.
Craftsman is bringing US manufacturing back 🤔
Lowe's is bringing craftsman back. Yes they are US manufactured now.
Not sure about that. Went to lowes the other day and craftsman products were looking better than ever. Lot of people (now that stanley owns them) call em the red dewalts because thats who they basically mimic. So who knows
Here in cali there's a hardware store calle "ORCHARD supply hardware "
and all its store are closing, if you're lucky you'll find some good deals inside. But all the good stuff are gone.
i like to imagine the factory where these things are made, when this video posts, an engineer runs in and goes "AvE posted a review! everyone to the conference room!". and it's the first break they've had since 2006.
lmfao
Hahahahahahahahaha sweat shop all the way
Harbor Freight supervisor here. Thank you for shooting straight on our tools. For better or worse, your videos help steer my recommendations. Cheers!
I'm pretty sure the Harbor Fright development team has been watching your videos...
Experimental Fun i hope so
It is not at all unlikely.
Genuine manufacturing critique from someone who knows their shit? They’d be a fool to miss it.
I think they are for sure. And unlike most of those Ivy League fucks in upper management who would never stoop to listening to a consumer, the decision makers at HF are fixing their shit.
I was on my way down here to make the same comment. Horrible fate seems to be getting skookum as frig.
“Might’nt be but three inches but it smells like a foot” 😂😂 absolutely crying
lmfao!!!
I didn't get that joke until now, thanks ahahah
Been telling my wife’s this for years. 💁🏻♂️🤣

Im going to get one off this review, i love AvE!

this is not a joke.
"TIME!" never fails to make me laugh.
“OH SHIT”
“TIME!”
LOLIRL
Best intro on UA-cam!
hahahaha one of his best ever!!!
Wholly Mindless about to comment the same thing. Seeing that AvE notification and hearing that GENTLEMEEEEN makes my day.
It will when it is your TIME.
Can you friggin imagine if of all the free advice uncle bumblefuck gives the tool companies, harbor freight is the one company who actually watches and take notes? I mean, can you imagine it?!
Pride is easier to swallow when you have less of it.
You say that but previous products beg to differ. At least in the finishing/QC department.
jason - If they don't then they are fools, unbiased knowledgeable opinions of your product from someone with 3/4 of a million followers (many who are engineers) are like gold if you have a brain.
So now is a good time to trade in those Bitcoins for Bits of Harbour Fraught?
Right now I'm imagining the HF product developement team jumping up and down cheering in some meeting room after watching this video, they probably promptly ran up to the directors office to demand a bonus, cut directly from the salaries of the marketing team. Good tools don't need much advertisement, it's spread/recommended from word of mouth.... and in this instance directlt from the mouth of Uncle Bumblefuck himself.
I just hope in anycase they keep the good work up and this is not just a onetime glory, if they do keep up with developement of high quality tools at great prices in a few short years they''ll have masked and erased their past misdeeds and become a go to brand.
The last impact I bought came off the tool truck in the late nineties. As soon as I'm done paying it off I'll look at getting one of these bad boys.
I love how you're so clearly speaking fluent english, yet manage to sound so foreign to me that 70% of the time, I can barely understand you.
Probably hard for him to speak clearly with his mouth full of maple syrup, and poutine.

Scott W I hope he comes to the dark side with me.
Mutilating tree carcasses must've become a fetish. Sometimes you click something you don't want to click but end up learning something new about yourself.
No fucking way, the last vid he was trying to turn dead tree carcass into something else and hopefully semi usefull, and the hatchet is used for the only reason trees exist in the first place, to BURN THEM.
Scott W oh shit
Not to mention a glowing review of a Hazard Fraught tool. Someone needs to break the news to Chickadee that her dad has been replaced by a pod person.
After our 8 and a half minute Saturday night lovefest I told my wife she was a Skookum Choocher and now I'm sleeping in the spare room.....
Women, who understands them?
LMAO! So true
Men are from Mars women are from Uranus.
My ex wife had a kick start vibrator. She said I was a lousy lover.
I don't think it's fair for her to decide that after barely three minutes.
Wil Hobbs - Hahahahaha!
You can always go back to the vice.
you should sale AVE TESTED decals to cover up the name plates of the tools you test.
I will never be seen in harbor freight because I have standards...... but I do have a guy...... I meet him in the bar and slide $100 to him under a napkin.... he goes to harbor freight and gets me the impact.... then we meet in a dark alley for me to retrieve the goods.😜. Perhaps harbor freight should market that “all online orders will be delivered in discreet, unmarked packaging”.
Uh, they were the last time I did a big online order, just before I started my first tech job. I felt that filling in some gross wholes in my tool collection that way was smart. And it was, but I freaked out and contacted Harbor Freight about never sending it when finally my wife remembered putting a random, unmarked box somewhere. It has a bunch of tools which have never failed me. This included some cheap SAE wrenches because I figured there's always some random aftermarket bolt which was in millimeters when the car was first made, but got switched out. Turned out I was right. Go cheap on stuff you hardly use, but do actually need. I do review tools somtimes, but I mostly just use them. Come check it out. :)
as much as i love your comment, i personally dont get why people would die first than be seen with certain products that are economic and good. but thats everyones busisness. but at least you admit to actually using them lmao.
Our harbor freight has parking in the back like some strip clubs
Bwahahaha
Our harbor freight has a salon supply next door so guys like you can act like they're buying a curling iron when their pride prevents them from letting others know they're buying a tool.
I almost bought a Bridgeport today, but it was a 15 hour drive away, so now I'm drinking beer hoping I get stupid enough to buy it later.
Salbuen take the leap my friend,
Its somethin you only have to pick up once.
Someone else bought it. :(
Ryan Gooler well yeah, after the hernia he won't be lifting much heavier than a milk jug.
I just bought a Bridgeport CNC... letting it age to perfection in the garage for a couple years before I go let the schmoo out of it.
This immediately became the best AvE breakdown vid ever the moment no results stemmed from hammering the box with a bit-less cordless fein so out comes the hatchet. Didn't think anything could top the bosch mini chainsaw openings but here we are.
That little mark there must be a factory defect
No way the knife or hatchet would do that in the hands of such a surgeon

@@ZulkSOD that's why it so damn funny lol
I bought the 1/2" non-stubby version of this for my Diesel Tech class. Thing is no joke. It ate every bolt and nut I threw at it for lunch without even breaking a sweat. Got some funny looks when I pulled that out of the toolbox, but that changed right quick once multiple nuts were busted in quick succession
Yet, I always get funny looks when I bust multiple nuts in quick succession.
I have to agree. I have had mine since this video came out. Invaluable in tight spots, and it has never missed a beat.
Your test nuts look like the underside fasteners of every car I've worked on in Wisconsin.. which is why I am an industrial mechanic now!!! Oil>salt

Actually Buna-N derives its name from the chemical process by which is is produced. 1,3 butadiene ( CH2=CHCH=CH2 ) gets polymerized with sodium (Na) as a catalyst, to form BuNa. Then Buna is copolymerized with acrylonitrile ( CH2=CH-CN ), meaning that that molecules of both compounds bond together to form a long chain. And there you have it, Buna-N. Now if buna is copolymerized with styrene ( CH2=CHPh ) at a ratio of 25% the product is called Buna-s and if the ratio is 50% it is called Buna-ss (not to be confused with Schutzstaffel). I hope this makes sense.
I knew it!
@Sam Tomassi I'll take a stab, uh buna-sss
Cleared it right up!
Wtf u just said ???. No entendi ni verga bro !.

Some could say a loss leader to get faith back into a product line, then cheapen down after a while.
*lost litre
Value enginerding incoming, just wait till the beancounters take a look at it..
Yeah probably. And so I play the game of finding the loss leader in the pile of junk on the next go around. Who is making good reasonably priced tools on this cycle? Five or ten years onwards, previous cycle's good product is now cheapened down or gone way up in price, have to figure out the new inexpensive/good.
They have some great floor jacks right now too. Never thought I would have recommended a 'budget' floor jack but there you go
@@kebsis getting sued by snap on is all the publicity that jack needed. I dont know why you would by any other brand jack.
I bought one of these after watching your video, because I was really sceptical about the claim of it hitting 700 "break away torque". It works pretty good thought. It was busting lug nuts on light duty pick em ups. I really only bought it to remove harmonic balancer bolts(especially on Subaru's in order to get the ole t-belt off) it saves about an hours time of having to take the radiator or buying the factory harmonic balancer holders. I really appreciate you doing the videos.
A hatchet?! Are you going "homesteader" on us?
I almost woke the wife up laughing at "ate something"
Sharklops I take it wranglerstar has pissed people off?
heh.
Pure living for Life started it with their "people like to 'Play' Homesteading" video. Unfortunately Wranglerstar had to put in his 2c.

I own a Matco stubby that I've had to rebuild twice in the two years I've owned it. It didn't have quite the quality that this shows and I expect to rebuild it again. And I gave $330 for it on sale.
I bought the full size earthquakeXT and while it does have some casting flash that should have been cleaned up on the case I haven't had near the problems out of it as I have the Matco so far. I'm pretty disappointed with my tool truck.
Damn dude
Matco is lower standards now days
Mmmmm....rusty bolts.
I've said it before, I have an earthquake 1/2 impact not the new style mine is 8 years old, rain dirt shine, it will break loose diesel lug nuts at 113psi 3/8ths hose. It is used 21 days a month. Average out to, 4 tires a day. I'm not a tire guy either I move the trucks themselves, so it's also used for axle bolts, frame mount ubolts. It gets alot of use.
My trigger finally died 2 years in. Matco's oil almost saved it from me not using the right tool oil when it was young. I think I damaged the rubber seals....in parts which you CAN'T take apart without a hatchet. The trigger assembly in his video shows you can take it apart. Where mine failed, I can't. :/ Bought a Matco and this video gives me even more regrets. Just over a year and my friend can't put lug nuts on with it anymore. He has a bunch of other air guns...tells me that when I only had one, I better not let it be a Matco stubby. Picked up the full-sized Earthquake XT which on UA-cam was shown to be equal in power to Snap Ons. I didn't get past the packaging. It's been days, but I do labor a lot, lol.
DE Nichols I used the harbor freight oil, i pull I pull the trigger fill her up, watch your hair dew the first few trigger pulls tho it will fill ya right full of oil.
How do you pull the trigger and fill it right up? You seem to be adjusting the tools is running and getting oiled?
DE Nichols with the tool disconnected from the hose, I drop the oil in the male quick connect if you don't pull the trigger it won't accept much. If you have it connected permanently to the hose, then I would go get some quick connects.
DE Nichols sorry I'm not awake yet.
ANNNNND for the last thousand years of this channel I though boona-end meant "generic, mass produced rubber thingy".
I thought it was a euphemism for a particular body part ... Today I Learned.
"Buna-N" themoreyouknow.jpg
Yeah I thought it was a word he'd made up, based on some french word (that I never bothered to look up) or something.
I actually did the whole jazz-hands on the gargler routine some time ago, I omitted the word "condom" from the search query, but was immediately brought to a product page for BUNA-N. I was surprised to learn it was a term/brand he was referring to instead of a slang term.
i've been using this stubby at home for over a year now and it's awesome...with 3 cars doing brake jobs, tire rotations and occasional engine part remover this is a great tool to have... and it works excellent with my 8 gal air compressor also from HF
This was the best fucking unboxing video I've ever seen. I'm not sure what the remaining 16 minutes are going to be, but with an intro like that I'll give it a go.
You have quickly become my shop hero. This is my bread and butter. Understanding what to look for in a tool has made my dollar wiser!
So you are telling me size really doesn't matter?! The s/o's bedside toys beg to differ...
That's just her way of showing off to the others!!!
They think they are putting one over on us but we know what book club really is!
And why doesn't she ALWAYS choose toys that are black as carbon powder???
Come to think of it, why do Lucius and Trayvon always stop over to visit after I've gone in for an extra shift at the mill???
If you ain't using toys with 'em in bed you're doing it wrong. Swallow your pride and get the job done.
theguyjake you guys r hil@rous
I use one everyday for fleet maintenance. It is the go to for sure. Highly recommend.
I always appreciate your candidness and integrity. As for HF, I have to say, I have been impressed with some of their stuff. I abused the heck out of their $18 4-1/2" grinder for over a year, and it just went tits up on me. Motor is still strong, but the gears wore out on it. It wouldn't be right for me to complain about it.
Girth has ALWAYS been more important than length.
Just says my old welding teacher, "Soup Can McGillicuddy."
Brian Garrow best comment I have ever seen on UA-cam ever.... Thank you lol
I can fill up a tuna can
The Homeless Despot is selling a Husky branded, same model stubby. Got it for $33 on clearance. Not asking any questions. Thanks AvE
I bought the husky too, but it only had 500 foot pounds.
I have that exact one at work. I use it to pull final drives off of D6/7/8/9 dozers and they're torqued to close to 600 ft-lbs. So much easier than trying to hold my 3/4 gun in there.
I can't believe how big and popular this channel is getting. I remember stumbling across it a year or two back and its almost at 1 million subs. Super happy for AvE, some of the most entertaining informative videos, even for people like me who dont have a lick of engineering know how.
finally figure out wtf BUNA-N is, i've been trying to google different spellings, thought it was just AVE lingo lol
and.... help a brutha out
I thought it was his version of bona fide
SS Minnow watch the video
ravensixs yeah, same. I had no idea it was just a trade name for nitrile, in spite of my being familiar with buna-n o-rings and sheet material and nitrile gloves.
ravensixs I know right wtf I thought it described a style of seal now I know it's the material!
Keep your decking advice.
Patrick Godbey Friggin auto correct..😂😆😂😆😂😆
I genuinely enjoy how you tear apart everything before you even use it. New subscriber and you have great content! Long live harbor freight.
I just wanna say, I'm so glad I stumbled across your empire of dirt years ago. You're the best thing on the tubes
Do you reckon they're watching your videos and actually listening?
Also, I'm thinking there's a market for covers/grips/etc. to hide your hazard fraud shame.
Even if they are they wouldn't care.
I mean, normally I would agree, but I'm just hunting for an explanation for the improved quality.
Ahh I see what you meant, I thought you were talking about the big boys stepping up their game.
I know for a fact some Chinese companies keep a close eye on these videos. A lot of times they do listen, especially when you start comparing their product to a name brand. They are motivated to match or surpass those big dogs sometimes. Certainly there are plenty of companies that don't but the better ones seem to pay attention.
I'm watching the price of this model rise everywhere and I'm inclined to think uncle bumblefuk is on the hook for my extra peso's.
I absolutely love your humor. Hear something new nearly every video
I've been using a harbor freight 1/2 impact (the original earthquake) in the automotive/heavy equipment field for 13 years. I just replaced it with a new earthquake xt, and will continue to use the old one at home. The direction switch is getting worn out so you have to hold it and it's heavy as hell.
I've always said you can't go wrong with harbor freight impacts. I also have a hf 3/4 impact I use at work that I'm real happy with as well.
I'm going to start unboxing shit at Christmas with a hatchet. Great idea.
But he knew what was inside, do you? Oh those poor gifts! And maybe poor you after your loved ones are done with you!

He's the best unboxer, but this wasn't his best. I miss the little chainsaw thing...
i liked the plasma cutter the best
Been using my stub in a diesel truck shop for 6 months now, hasn't skipped a beat. A coworker even went and got one because he found himself borrowing it a lot.
I fell asleep watching youtube and woke up and the auto play had this channel going. now I can't stop watching all the videos
Best unboxing channel on you tube. you should make a compilation of them
Ive been living in a cave for many years
This guy is amazing
Freaking love videos like this! Thank you for making it and for being brutally honest about it!
Street cred: 25+ years in industrial maintenance here, with around 10 years in commercial and institutional maintenance, and some commercial / industrial construction work up in there. 11 years ago I went solo as a "hired gun" maintenance, service, process, and engineering contractor. I do everything from control panels to hydraulics to mechanical, welding, structural, etc. Old school industrial maintenance because I'm a 4th generation industrial maintenance guy.
I have some hella expensive tools, and I have some pretty cheap tools. Typically, the tools I use the most and rely on are the more expensive ones, the ones I use every once in a while, are the cheaper ones.
I have a 24" Chinesium crescent wrench that I've had for well over 20 years. Bought it at a flea market for about $15, and it still works fine, but I have probably used it less than 50 times. Still, it's beefy enough to do the limited jobs I need it for.
I also have a Milwaukee Deep Cut Porta-Band that I paid full retail for (over $400) because I had bought a couple Northern Hydraulics branded Chinese shit and they literally lasted less than a dozen cuts on 1-1/2 in angle iron.
I'm not a tool snob by any means. I get the tools that work for me and don't GAF if someone sees some off brand name in my seriously overloaded Astrodamnvan Of Mass Destruction.
Judge me for the brand of my tools all you want, as long as the $75 to $125/hr. check clears.
If it works, I have no problem with it. I typically don't take a tool to it's design limits, so whether it will do EXACTLY what it says it will do is of little concern.
Again, thanks for the vid. Really good stuff.
I just started to watch these vijeos for the vocabulary lessons but then I ended up learning stuff so i subscribed to the channel.

I think compressed air properly applied might be a win. Still won't be as much fun as lighting a grill with LOX.
hardlyb Cheeter blaster unboxing for the win!
I never understood why other reviews talk about the packaging. WTF cares it's going in the garbage. Pack it so it won't break and recyclable and fuck off.
This dude is an international treasure. I learn, I laugh, I drink a few beers and just kick back. Great stuff. Plus he reminds me of the dudes I grew up with in sconi.
I bought one of these, because I could recognize the quality in it right away, not only weight and the quality materials looking clean and pure, but I could tell this design was either reverse engineered from the Matco version like this, or it was designed by the same engineer stolen over to this company. Matco makes a low profile impact just like this, same trigger, same cover, same selector switch. Same power. Uncanny similarity.
Don't be ashamed of four inches, sometimes you need short and stubby to get the job done
Mon dieu... the square root of 69 is indeed 8-something. I feel like Richard Dreyfuss sculpting Devil's Tower out of mashed potatoes: "This is important. This means something..."

So glad you did this video! I bought one of these a while ago. Love it actually. Use the thing all the time. Inspired by your vids, I took mine apart. Interestingly, mine was not de-bured inside, but the bearings weren't crusted up either.
I work at heavy duty truck shop and this little bastard removes semi lug nuts like butter... it's VERY impressive. Blows peoples minds.
Yessss finally another tool review I love these keep it up cause man you inspire me im 17 and I've always loved taking things apart and seeing how they worked but the problem was I never got them back together
Gavin i was just like you when i was younger, destroyed a lot of things. As you get older you get better at putting them back together. The important thing is to keep learning!
Me too, I found that after I got some other tools to go with my hammer and chisel things went back together better.
I got this one open box for 65 bucks, it's literally the most kickass impact I've owned, it's amazing in a tight spots, but still strong enough to undo lug nuts.
AvE could you please test the actual ft lbs?
The little reverse selector while being a bit odd looking works pretty well if your running one handed.
Impressive. You still explain things in a way like no other. Awesome & hilarious!
This is the best advertising ever for this gun, you just made me go to harbor freight right now and buy one before prices go up or quality goes down
First time to this channel and not even a minute in I'm afraid for your hands. This is gonna be a good channel, I can tell already. xD
"little nic there from somebody beating a little aggressive with a hatchet" - hilarious!!!
Have had one for going on 3 years now. Been a bad ass little unit. Works great for when your doing ball joints in fords. Ive taken lug nuts off dump trucks with it too. Been really happy with it.
These videos are very entertaining!! Keep them coming bud!!
I lost it when you said “homeless despot” omg LMAO

My shop vernacular has changed for the better since watching AvE.
“You let the smoke out!” is my oft spoken troubleshooting summary.
I just found this video but I bought one of these HF XT stubbies when it first came out and went on sale. I used it to replace the front struts and right CV axle on my Nissan Murano. I really love how you can fit this impact gun into tight spaces and still have plenty of torque.
he opend that box exactly the same way i cracked open my wife's crispy nickers literally an hour ago,,, she does prefer the old blunt axe wack n slash technique though!!
Haven't had a good laugh in a while, thank you!
unfortunately theres quite a high demand for them, the local exterminator gives top dollar for the lightly soiled ones to clean out the real extreme rodent infestations. as for the very highly soiled bad boys, well the village priest wears them on his head during Sunday service to ward off demonic entities etc
well thats what they told me, seems legit?
but if the price is right im sure something can be arranged haha
Rhys - I have never seen knickers of the calibre you describe here.
I wonder if I could borrow your wife for a month or two? This would allow me some experimental time and should be ample for making a collection. It may sound like I am asking you to put your wife out to stud as it were, and yes, I am.
She sounds like a lovely lady.
This is the first time i feel slightly proud as a Chinese watching your videos. Laughing my ass off as always.
Lance Wang don't worry, you'll take the same route as Japan and Taiwan, they started as price competitors as well! (and as soon as you start competing with quality you'll probably take over the world, steel tariffs or not) 😀
Nice Z...
You should feel proud. Your heritage is pretty damned impressive...and China is one of the few big countries NOT trying to incinerate the entire globe (along with its inhabitants) with their stupidity.
What globe? Earth is flat! (sarcasm)
just because they're not waging war on the outside world doesn't mean things are great within
I've just realised a whole new depth of enjoyment to AVE vijeos, turn on closed captions and watch the algorithm try and keep up with him. It's "thick black time" boys!
I appreciate the honest reviews! I’m always looking for bargain tools, but often cheap is just that.
It's almost like everything they improved was something you dinged them on in the previous vijayo.
You cut the bloody carry bag lol
Let's be real. No one ever uses those carry bags
lol your product reviews are always so funny and informative. then you blow my mind with french etymology and donning/kruger references. greetings from iceland.
I love the fact that there was a box cutter sitting right there while you hatchet away at it.
"One little mark there, don't know where that came from"..... hmm........
I'd dremel off the hook and just leave a little nub.

Zactly as i was a thinkin'
9'' ankle grinder will do the job.
Great video Ave.... like the commentary, makes the viewing more pleasurable.
It’s nice to see a positive review. I didn’t even know I wanted a stubby till now
Those industrious little fellas are getting better every year.... Hey Snap-On, maybe you should start thinking about not asking the going rate of a Chinese political prisoner’s organs for everything you slap your name on?
tr0n Snap-On gross sales in 2016 = $3.46b with net profit of $546m. That is an INSANE margin of profit to sales after operating expenses and tax. Snap-On is absolutely bending us all over. Yep they’re tools are freaking awesome but they are making huge margins off hard working men. I don’t blame them one bit however, I own a business and do everything I can to charge the maximum the market will bear for a quality product. I’m just saying I hope more mid priced higher quality options hit the market to put Snap-On/MAC/etc more in reach of the average Joe’s financial means.
Well snap-ons power tools (both air and electric) have proven to be underperformers for awhile now. Sitting back and cashing in a designs that are 10-20 years old. Snap-ons distribution network is very inefficent and adds a lot of cost also. The "tool truck" is running on limited time. One of the worst franchies you can become involved in. When you sign on with snap-on, mac, cornwell, matco you get a "area" or route. You work that route for 20 years and build up a huge following from hard work and reliability. When you want to retire all you have is a worn out truck. The company owns the route and pass it on to the next guy who will benefit from your hard work.
At least with most franchises you have Something you can liquidate when it is time to retire.
He said “Mal parido” good to see Pablo Escobar is now doing tool reviews lol
Until I heard it from him, I thought that word was reserved for politicians in Latin America. It is like a badge of honor for them.
High praise for a Harbor Freight tool - you are scaring me!
0:17 the ‘ol Canadian bottle opener.
Its been months since ive watched you...I'm sorry I missed a single video.
Please do a review of the Vulcan Tig. No one has done the tig just the mig
Planlos Channel Chucke2009 has reviewed most of their lineup - he covered the stick/DC TIG some time around October-November last year, covered the multi-process("omelet-master", stick/MIG/TIG) earlier this year, and he dropped the AC/DC TIG review about 2 or so weeks ago(he also covered a MIG machine or two, but context here). It goes without saying, his reviews are quality and from someone that actually does it for a living.
Not to spoil it for you or anything, but, suffice to say, if you've seen one you've seen them all - and that isn't a bad thing as of this new 'Vulcan' lineup! If you've seen reviews of the other 'Vulcans'(presumably by your comment), the AC/DC machine basically isn't really going to surprise you at all(especially if you've seen the multi-process rig already) - it welds, does so at a legitimately decent level, comes with the goods that no one else in the industry spends the money on throwing in the box, and does so for a hard to beat price.
That said, these 'Vulcan' welders would make a significantly better argument if 'Everlast' didn't exist - yes, Everlast is even able to undercut HF's latest metal squirt guns, and with a pretty solid reputation in the industry as well. This isn't a criticism of the HF Vulcans, but more a note of how impressive Everlast's lineup currently is!
This was my first air impact. It works and in tight places. Thanks fir taking it apart so I dont have to.
😂 His early comments …. then pan over to the heating plate, beaker, tray and chemicals …. Priceless!
First chips today, and it came out great in large part from things I learned from you :) Thanks! And it was a clapped out old Bridgeport
Where did you dig up those old fossil bolts?
Awesome video man. I just bought one and I wasn't sure if I was gonna keep it or not. This vid definitely gave me something to help me decide👍
