    I work as a paramedic and we have whole nights where we watch Andrew's videos in between calls and debate what the best way to rescue him when stuff goes .wrong, but it never does! He must have the best sense when what he is doing will go right! He does what we all dreamed as doing but never do! Thanks and keep life full of fun Andrew !

      I love how he’s done stuff that makes people nervous in hundreds of videos, but when he showed up in a cast in a video it ended up being because he just stepped in a hole runnin down a hill lol. Tbh I do sketchy stuff all the time just like Andrew, and I don’t love doing it, just like I’m sure he doesn’t, but when you work mostly by yourself, or at the most with maybe one or two people who are just somewhat nearby, you get very used to doin stuff that would be considered dangerous to most people. Waiting around for help or for a 100% safe method to do the job means the job isn’t getting done yet. There’s an art to knowing when to risk something though, and an art to knowing how to keep from getting hurt even if things go south, and Andrew is definitely an artist at both lol.

      lol hundreds of thousands of people , probably millions, do as or more dangerous work every single day . They just don't record it and put it on youtube ... y'all are acting like he's breaking new ground here or something, in fact a lot of the stuff he does is only dangerous because of his lack of experience and knowledge of what he's doing

    Induction coils are amazing.
    For maximum effect, try flash cooling the component before loosening.
    The heating expands the bolt, crushing the debris in the threads, the debris acts as an insulating layer so not all of the heat is passed to the surrounding metal. Flash cooling will then shrink the bolt faster than the surrounding material, allowing penetrants to seep in.
    It's another step if loosening when hot fails.

    It never ceases to amaze how powerful earth moving equipment can be .. that bucket has gotta be a 7 yard bucket , and a yard of stone weighs between 2500-3000 lbs .. that means that loader is lifting up to like 20,000 pounds.. that’s like lifting 5 cars at once

    • @drewdoestrucks
      @drewdoestrucks Рік тому +1

      When they debuted the 675, (the original loader in the mega-loader class), Michigan actually promoted them as a way to eliminate haul trucks entirely. Bucket capacities up to 36 cubic yards were offered (likely for coal) for a capacity of 36 tons or so per bucket (!). The 988, I believe, was offered with a maximum closer to 16 yards, although that would have been a newer generation than Mr. Camarata has here. There have been a wide variety of loaders sold as 988s with capacities from 9 yards on up. Either way, these are massive machines capable of moving amounts of stone that are hard to wrap your head around.

    new video, nice. Thought Andrew ruined the big 40v Makita impact right in the first 5 minutes lol.
    The wibble wobble bottom with the battery is normal. Have the same impact for my cars, and works very well with driveshaft bolts and stuff. But a cat loader is a diffrent world of course.
    But you need the proper impact sockets. They make a huge diffrence.
    The small induction heaters are nice too. There are a lot of induction spools in all diffrent sizes on ebay. All chinesium, but its only a thick copper wire with a fabric mantle with a few bends in it. And of course you can bend the spools yourself, make the loop bigger or smaller so it fits the screw or nut.

      @@kameljoe21 Well I've never seen an impact socket split like that chrome vanadium one in this video, and I've been on the tools for 35 years. What you get is a thicker wall on the impact sockets, so that counts for the extra strength. Yes, all tools wear out over time, but the first thing I was taught was using the right tool for the right job.

    • @kameljoe21

      @@nickmaclachlan5178 I have seen split, cracked, wore out, broke, chipped and all kinds of sockets of a number of sizes from 1 in down to 3/8 drive in ever size you would think.
      Chrome sockets are slighty more brittle which means they are overall stronger which is why they will split or shatter. Impact are softer and you can see this by the wear on the inside and drive en of the socket. I have also seen impact sockets shatter.
      The only thing chrome socket might do it wear you drive anvil down because its softer than the socket its self.
      When you pay for snap on tools they do not care and will replace the tool because its broken. I stood in a friends shop in which he had a worn out socket that was quite loose and worn to which he wanted replaced and the snap on guy clearly stated that because the tool was not broken he could not replace it. He went over to an hydraulic press and proceeded to crush said socket and then returned it back to the truck while the snap on guy walked back in to the shop and handed him the socket. Then in a fit of annyonance he went over to his tool box and pulled out half a dozen screw drivers and clamped them in to a vice and twisted all of the handles off while the snap on guy stood watching. He then handed them the screwdrivers for replacement and said I have all day so next time replace the tool and you can break it on your time. This was a decade or so ago. The same guy another time bought one of those snap on cordless impacts and a battery faulted and he was so pissed as it meant no more lugging around hoses and everything else. When the snap on guy showed up he fought over the warranty. Keep in mind every tool that you can get from snap on was in this shop. Even crap he used once and never used again and sometimes those cost 100s of dollars. He was irate as he had not had that impact that long and while I do not recall what ever it is. I do know that when it come to anything battery and electric warrenties are clearly different. He was so irate at this guy that I helped break entire sets of sockets, hammers and screwdrivers even bent a whole set of those pry bars. Later that day he called someone up who had a cnc machine plasma cutters and had them make him a metal sign and then welded and painted that press red. It said on top Snap on destruction zone. With some real thick metal. About a year later or so when smart phone became even more popular he had printed out photos of the snap on guy's face of disappointment. In the end he had to pay out of pocket to buy a new battery for the inpact. This is what made him so made.
      There are some other things he has done. For example snap on came in the shop and he was using a screwdriver as a pry bar and the snap on guy proceeded to sell him a couple of set which I do not recall. Being petty as he was the next week he exchanged all his bent screw drivers for new ones. And he said didn't you just buy a new set of pry bars and he said sure did and pointed up on the wall where a nice pretty box with a glass door on it says Emergency Pry Bars or break if need emergency pry bars, can not recall 100% off the top of my head. I mean a pretty oak box with brass hinges. Might even have said Snapon on it. It was painted on the glass in red paint and some gold edges. Like I said he was petty and did thing out of spite.
      On the wall in another place is a 10mm sockets that if one is moved the light blinks until it replaced the speaker some how got a screwdriver shoved in to the speaker and no longer works. He made that after an old timer who I was with one day said lets steal his 10mm socket. While I did not take it he sure did. Which resulted in him buying a replacement and having that thing made. Only to have that spot in his box remain empty till his death 6 or so years later to which he got it from a lawyer who has had it in possession not long after he took it. At the time I though he was joking and when I seen him a week or so later I seen that contraption and it never dawned on me that the old timer took it. Any ways the socket and a photo of him is up in the shop in one of those shadow boxes that says something like if you ever wondered where that 10mm when this guy might have taken it contact his lawyer or something like that.
