Foam gun cleaner gets in off melts it

Oh snap your wranglerstar lol, oops
I've had knioex cobras for months now and I looove them
See the new 100mm/4" Cobra XS hasn't made it on Amazon over there yet.
I use the"flat" wrenches daily, as an auto mechanic there just isn't room for an offset wrench in every place
That’s because you are a REAL mechanic, that uses tools daily; not a guy making videos and showing tools
Yup I was thinking the same thing. All depends on where the bolt is and the geometry. Sometimes the flat wrench works better, sometimes the offset. I would keep both if I had them!
Flat wrench is the best for torque converter when trans blow or engine
Exactly, mechanic and gear head all my life. Flats and crows foot all have purpose. Never ever thrown a wrench or tool out, have had to heat, bend, grind and weld to make a custom tool for just one job.
@@92camarodragcar73 My first go to wrench for torque convertors and crows foot for distributor bolts.
Can you send me that trash can?
is that wrench not bendable
No he can't. He is using it to toss his tools.
He got the tools back out. This is a hater bait video.
As an industrial and commercial electrician, I’ll never own a tape measure without a magnet, matter of fact, I always choose the tape measure with the strongest magnet. Drop a screw or a wrench off your ladder, just push the tape down and use the magnet to retrieve your item, really helps save your hips from unneeded trips up and down the ladder.
I agree, have a Klein tools magnetic tape measure and I use it to do this religiously
The fat max with a magnet is the best. It's great for pipe
I always choose a Stanley tape measure but I’m a carpenter Fat max electrician ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
As a machinist/fabricator I hate magnets on most things including tape measures, they collect metal chips and are a PITA to clear every time they are used.
Exactly he's not in the trade he has no idea what he's talking about
I keep learning the hard way, never throw away any tool unless you have an EXACT replacement for it because you never know when you can need it for some random hobby or project you didn't think you'd get into. i once threw away this cheap Black and Decker corded drill driver cause i started investing in high quality tools. now im wishing i hadn't done that cause i could have used it as a cheap car buffer. And at the very least, you can use those cheap tools to give to your neighbor when they will inevitably come over to barrow a tool.
Yes, I certainly would not just throw stuff like this in the trash (assuming it was not just for drama)-- that's bad for the environment (Mr. Forester). Some of these could be made into other tools or given away/donated to someone that might find them useful. I would at least have removed the cord from the Jitterbug sander for a future part replacement for something else. OK, that tape measure was trash.
Must be nice to have that kind of money to throw away tools that still work, even as a backup.
The tools I throw away. The Allen keys that come with things. The bit driver sets that are only odd sided flat blades and rounded out bits. The bottle openers that come with tool kits as if everything in a shop isnt also a bottle opener. Hell my workbench opens bottles. And then any wrench that rounds things off I've even had this in a set of mac line wrenches the small ones were fine the big ones opened up when used.
Made this mistake giving a 1h nicd charger to goodwill. Realized i have some batteries that aren't registering with the nice looking "smart" chargers anymore.
@@bryceg5709 I have so many of those dang Allen keys because I keep thinking I'll eventually think of SOMETHING to do with them because throwing them away seems a waste.
Next week Cody works on tractor...needs to reach a hidden bolt and the offset on his wrench is preventing him from reaching it...buys a new set.
...let’s hope he keeps that trash for a few days
I hope it happens well deserved throwing away good tools but we'll never hear about it
That's what the other end is for
Yep! Literally me last weekend
@@candypaint6919 he pulled every tool out of the trash can as soon as the video was finished

Yup
I did cry a little when he through out the channel locks
Ha ha, when he pulled out the bow saw I was all hell no he isn’t!! I never had an issue using them to cut down our Christmas tree every year!
@@landscapingspecialist I agree. Most of the problems he has ARE user error. Craigslist?
Some simple advice to avoid these pitfalls in the future:
1. Good tools aren’t cheap, and they don’t come in 2-for-1 packs. (Tape measure and caulk gun)
2. “Good” is subjective. However, as a baseline, good tools have a purpose. If you you don’t have a use for it, it isn’t a good tool. (Jitterbug and crows foot)
3. Never use a weapon as a tool.
4. Never throw away a tool that may be useful (and safe) for someone else. If you don’t sell it or donate it, take 30-45 minutes to post up with a table in the back of a hardware store parking lot with a sign that says “free tools”. They’ll be out of your hair quick…at least in TX.
I disagree with the discount tools. You see a lot of good small brands do that. i got about a few sets of magnetic screw drivers a few years back, standard, phillips, torques, square drive ext for buy 2 get 1. They've all been amazing for my applications. Now if I was a full time auto mechanic would I buy 2 for 1 tool kits or just buy a nice set of tools...yea probably would go higher end if it was a work tool.
tools giveaways are great
weapons are a type of tool but I agree with everything else.
With all due respect, some of these tools and products have their place. Sometimes offset wrenched just don't fit in some spots. The foam we use to fill in the holes in robinson decking when putting in sleeves and yeah the crows foot is essential for torquing anchors when setting transformers
spray foam is also used in electrical to seal a wall around some cables
I also use spray foam to seal around plumbing vent pipe.
I use my crows feet sockets for overheads and also use them for a few hydrulic lines on valve body's so I don't have to take off 3 other lines
This is super stupid, especially the first tool, flat wrenches have many uses where an offset wrench wouldnt work
Dang it he don't have to use flat wrenches if he don't want to.
@@strayfiftynine9151 if you need a flat wrench just use your torch to convert an offset 😀
@@paulnicholson1906 Or I could just make one with the mill, heat it in the forge and temper it in oil. Just need to decide what color I want. Do I paint before or after I stamp the size? Sorry I've been auguring with Democrats way to long. Got to quit doing that. Have a good day. Good idea.
That is a ratchet wrench and you undo using one side and do up using the other. It can't have an offset.
@@spudpud-T67 Why couldn't it have an offset? I've got reverseable ratcheting wrenches with offsets, I've got flex head ratcheting wrenches, and I have flat ratcheting wrenches.
When I throw a magnet in my nails, they get stuck to it.
Yeah
Why would you put a tape measure with a magnet in with your nails to begin with?
lol *shock face*
😂😂😂 maybe he should keep the tape and toss the nails.
Right that the only tape I like the Milwaukee stud
Why is your tape in a pouch and not on your belt or hanging from a pocket?
That "tomahawk" hammer is actually a roofing tool. It was designed for splitting shake shingles to the needed width then flip the tool to nail the shingle in place. Shake shingle roofs are, for the most part, a thing of the past due to the fire hazard.
Bow saws were never meant as a precision cutter they are for cutting tree branches off the tree or to length for fire wood (this is pre chain saws).
Actually it's was for sheetrock
@@tomfinks9598 Actually a bow saw is for tree branches as previously stated. A sheet rock knife/saw is exactly that, a drywall saw.
@@michaelthompson7554 he’s talking about the hammer not the saw
@@louiswhisonant2968 a bow hammer? A hammer bow? A hammer saw? A saw hammer? A saw bow hammer bow?
Bow saws are basically useless compared to a good folding saw like a Silky
On the spray foam, I've kinda stumbled on something that may work. In my case I removed the trim around my window, and used the foam to you know to make sure the outside wasn't coming inside. But after I sprayed the foam I used blue painting tape and taped over the opening and made sure the tape was pressed firmly on the wall and on the window. When the foam was dry, oddly enough the tape pulled right off and thats where the foam stopped. Worked pretty good.
🤔🤔🤔 imma definitely have to try this one.. thanks for the heads up
Just use old clothes that you don't care what happens to them.
Sounds like too much hassle. When I've foamed around a window, I used a proper foam gun, then left it to expand out and just cut the excess of when it's dry. Took me however long it takes to run a knife along the edge of the frame.
Yeah you got lucky or had cheap foam... Some of that foam will push trim boards loose when it expands.. I don't see painter's tape stopping it.. and I know about painter's tape because I'm a painter... You don't need much foam to fill most cracks and a sharp knife or 5in1 scraper will cut excess off...and I'd much rather scrape off excess than use fiberglass insulation
Best way to limit expansion is to push it in as it's just set a little ( ie like popping it)
The tape measure one baffled me, you bought a magnetic tape and complain things stick to it? And you don't even clip it to your belt you put it in your nail pouch
@@TheOnefalcon07 I have the magnetic and the auto lock 16ft tape measures, i really like mine, for $10 and the fact that home depot will replace them anytime they break, you can't go wrong them. I will agree with him thouhh when he says the fat max is the best way to go.
@@TheOnefalcon07 to each their own, maybe im biased because the fat max was my first tape but I'm also a milwaukee fuel fan boy and use the 16ft auto lock tape now that everyone else hates for some reason, their tape measures have come along way
@@TheOnefalcon07 I personally don't think the milwuakee tapes are that great.
They get some things right and others wrong.
I dislike the rounded shape of them, they see square and round designs now, but the round one just rubs me the wrong way.
I dislike the markings near the foot marks. They make too big of a deal about being right at a foot mark so they reduce the height of the ticks to all match, so I have to very carefully make sure I'm reading it right, rather than just taking a glance and knowing exactly which 16th I'm falling out on.
They're also very large for their size. Their 25' tape is as big as a 35' tape. I'm not a framer. I'm typically doing more pidly things in smaller spaces. Very rarely do I need a tape over 16'. And even their 16' tape is just far too big for me. I like those cheap green ones that homedepot used to sell. Lowes now has them as craftsman.
My only gripe with them is they have 32nd marks for the first foot.
@@TheOnefalcon07 I prefer Fatmax but I use but I use both, the whole video I was thinking operator error.
@@billybobjoe198 i do hvac commercial work so the bigger and fatter the tape the better for me. If I was a framer or carpenter it'd be different, that being said I dont use anything over 16' anymore
When you want to upgrade your tools; pass your old tools to someone else...for free. They may not be great tools, but they're better than no tool at all and it helps get someone else started. Spray foam is the devil though.
Don't send bow saw on. Blades bend and can snap-dangerous!
@@carlzirk every tool is dangerous. i use bow saws all the time; have yet to have one snap. if you're seeing that happen, you've got the blade way too tight.
@@StevenAndrews I was a reckless kid with a loose blade. Yes, all tools are dangerous.
My uncle gave me a tool box full of cheap hand tools that for him weren't any good but to me at 14 years old they were limitless
I can't say I have ever thrown away a tool that still works ish! One man's trash is another man's treasure!
Solutions:
1 Heat up and bend the wrench.
2 Use a punch and break the magnet, wear gloves.
3 Cover all your cloths preemptively with spray foam, (shooting it more fun than tossing it).
4 Weld crows foot to ashtray for cigars.
5 Jitterbug sander, you can revive burnt toast.
6 Caulk gun, yeah that’s junk.
7 Skill saw, dig the spray foam back out and encase the saw in foam so no one else has to use it.
8 Channel locks good for hot grates or handleless pans on the grill or campfire.
9 Bow saw.. hold on for a sec.
10 Tamakawk, use the bow saw and cut the handle off of it. Throw both tools away.
🤣🤣
@@SICresinwrks you solution ruins the structural integrity of the wrench. It WILL break if you heat it up and don’t know what you’re doing.
1. buy a stanley
@@Imthedussin yup also will be useless on one side
crowsfoot are amazing for o2 sensors and such
What you call a “tomahawk “ is actually called a framing axe and very useful for roof framing. Properly sharpened they can cut as clean as a saw. Great for adjusting bird’s mouth, notching etc without having put your hammer down. Mine all have nail pullers …
Pretty cool, never knew that, thanks!
I framed with one years ago. I felt pretty awesome. Recently i bought another and used it for 3 months before I went and bought a normal California 21 ounce framer. I use the framing axe to cut kindling and take it camping
Wow. Sounds like most of his problems are self inflicted.
Yah
Yep. Massive waste of tools. Crows feet arent used often but when you need to use one it's an absolute lifesaver
He acknowledges that multiple times though. Admits it's mostly operator error or for his particular applications it doesn't work. He's not saying they're horrible for everybody and that nobody should ever be allowed to own them 😂
Makes for comical entertainment.
Yeah he literally said that he might just be using them wrong. I guess some losers always need to find something to complain about.
As someone who turns wrenches on equipment on the daily, 0 offset wrenches and crowsfeet are a MUST have in my toolbox.
4:45 haha
Totally agree..... at least about the zero offset wrenches. Crows foot or flared versions also have their place. I don't use them daily but when you need them, they're the only tool to use!
My question is if he cant find a use for them why did he but them to begin with
@@connorstuart5023 Because he was or still is a tool nut. He collects tools he thinks he may need. I was like that and now that I'm retired I have a bunch of tools I don't need. Although I rarely ever bought tools I didn't need.
i thought of ericthecarguy(mechanic with yt channel) who had to change a brakeline and the only tool to do it was the crowfoot wrench.
The hate for bow saws is hilarious. They're log saws. Anybody trying to do joinery with one may aswell be using a hammer and wedges for accuracy and ease
Crow's foot spanners are a specific use tool bit like a basin wrench. Most people won't use them all the time, but the job it does it excels at
Tomahawk I can totally understand
Bow saws are meant to cut on the upll too aren't they? Not the push?
The push button knipex chanel-locks are probably the best pair of pliers I've ever had. 👍
Stopped watching the second you threw that gearwrench away. As a mechanic, those made me sooo much money, more than that "awesome" snap on off set wrench did.
we need to rummage thus guys garbage lol
I agree. Most engines have no room for anything that the offset does not work.
used mine today getting a rear end link off my bmw.. priceless
Same.. still watching but I would've gladly taken those off his hands. They're a dream for automotive.
Crowsfoots are essentially for working on Subaru's. Have you seen those engine bays...
"A poor craftsman always blames their tools"
Never heard a 1/4 sheet sander called a jitterbug sander. Good luck getting into corners with a RO sander....
Because always has good tools.
In my experience, many many times I have tried to do things and came to the conclusion that they're hard. Then I have the opportunity to use a professional tool and WOW. The tool makes all the work. It's just easy without having any experience. From drilling to painting and cutting or applying glue or whatever.
I've also never heard a circular saw shoe called a "table".
Blaming a hand saw for going astray.. man..
@@mynamesjudge well its a foot, not a shoe, the shoe would be protective cover that goes over a foot ;)
@@rubenayla That's called having a metal block. The average person picked up the average tool and got the job done fine, for 100's of years. Only today do we have whiny snowflakes that need a special tool to do an ordinary thing or else everything goes wrong,, lol.
As much as I agree 100% with everything in this video, it was extremely painful to see you throw away that spyderco tomahawk. Those are not cheap and definitely hard to find, and I know so many people who would've paid quite a pretty penny for it
I'm sure that the 'hawk did not land in the garbage can, he's just being dramatic.

The Makita saw is the best saw in existence in my opinion. Worm worm drive or the normal one. Awesome torque. Just gotta have some muscle to use them.
I was half expecting him to pull out a flat-ended dive knife and say it's bad at poking holes in inflatable boats
basically this entire list reeks of a carpenter both being kind of ignorant as well as really stuck up. I have no idea who would carry their tape measure in a nail bag, either.
@@Adam-hp5hj yeah I just left a comment about the tape measure cause being a welder I prefer the milwaukee with the magnetic. Saves me from having to stop someone else from working to hold the end of the tape
B roll, cody picking the tools out the garbage.
Except for that Home Depot caulk gun. That truly is hateful and ended up right where it belongs.
Steve Taranto amen brother Steve!
Steve Taranto the tape measures too. I pick up the same two pack and it made my fingers look like a hotdog that stayed in the microwave for to long. After the 37th time of it cutting my finger in slammed in on the cement to make sure it would break.
@@Staranto11 I 36th that.
@@Staranto11 Yes sir, buy the gray one, its dripless for about a buck more.
For the record, I use jitterbug sanders for fine finishes. I’ll sand polyurethane in between coats with those because orbital sander can sometimes be too aggressive when you don’t want to sand through a finish, and the jitterbugs work perfect because they sand much lighter.
A non-offset wrench makes a lot of sense in certain space situations, especially one with a ratcheting box end like the one shown in the video appears to. Sure, in most cases you can get the job done with either the straight open-end or the offset box-end, but sometimes you get the right combination of constraints and it's all that can do the job. Sometimes only a straight wrench will fit, but the open-end isn't giving quite enough grip. Or the space you have to turn the wrench might be really tight, too, and you just need the extra wiggle room a 12-point gives. Better to have one and let it gather dust than to not and wind-up needing it, I think.
A 5/16" flat ratcheting Gearwrench saved me gobs of labor because I used it to remove and install 8mm water pump bolts on a Ford engine where the repair manual said I had to remove the motor mount and raise the engine to get enough clearance to get access to the bolts in order to replace the water pump. Nope. Just needed a very slim, straight ratcheting Gearwrench.
Back in the 80s my boss lost his temper and he was in the back of the van throwing stuff around and a block landed on a can of foam and exploded .we stood there watching him expand 🤣🤣🤣
Snap-on makes 0* offset wrenches as well. Using 0* wrenches in the wrong situation seems to be your problem there, Big Chief.
I totally agree
He's got a LOTTA problems.
Agreed.
I have the Makita worm drive saw, and yes the torque is a problem. Just make sure you are not too close to the wood when you pull the trigger. It is a beast of a saw, though. I've cut a lot of concrete with mine. The torque is part of the reason it can do the hard work. Like most Makita tools, it is good.
Your thoughts on the bowsaw are interesting. My great-grandfather mostly used them for making furniture, not cutting through larger pieces. I think they're mostly meant for finer cuts made in a comfortable posture, in your workshop. Mind you, he had to build his own tools, so perhaps the bowsaw was more convenient to make and replace. I definitely don't think he would have used them for over half his life if they didn't cut straight occasionally, the furniture around the farm is all made by him and nothing wobbles ;)
Totally agree on the tomahawk, they're not as widely useful as people think. I like my tomahawk head because it's light and the trees around me grow limbs that are good for a DIY handle, but I wouldn't ever carry it around. I keep it in my car so I always have an axehead, but I wouldn't rely on one for anything more than basic, sloppy work, and only in a pinch. Still better than those survival abominations that have serrated edges and can openers on every surface.
I knew where he was going with the bowsaw. It amazes me the tools I purchased in my younger years. Thinking at the time I was making smart purchases. Probably half the tools I bought (either as tools or survival gear) prior to 30 I've discarded. They were all just cheap junk intended more to catch the eye than be a practical tool.
Silky saws rock in my opinion. I have two in my truck. One is a Silky Katanaboy that I've never used. But since it is only in the truck for emergency purposes, odds are I'll never use it in my life time - short of an emergency on the road and the tree is too thick for the regular Silky saw that should be a mainstay in anybody's tool kit.
As for the caulk guns, those things were intended to be throwaways after a single project. They are no thrills units. Their target audience is the guy or gal who literally might be caulking once a year and just doesn't want to mess with an old caulk gun.
The tomahawks are weapons of war. I've used a few for hiking and such over the years. I even have one still in my gun case. But I'm not using it to chop wood. They simply are not practical for that purpose. Its purpose is to chop skulls. You need to make kindling, use a hatchet or a small double bladed axe. Personally, the hatchet works great for small jobs, but as soon as you want to cut something as thick as your arm, you are going to want the axe.
What saw you describe is what is called a resaw. Bowsaws are tree saws
There’s a goober on the end of it, alright...
lmao
🤣
My boss calls me goober lol
Dead😂
Doncha kno goobers are magnetic
I’ve worked on many different farms and ranches but the best one was when the boss built a new shop and I helped clean out the old one. He was just like this going thru everything and throwing out the “junk” tools and I backed up my pickup to the door and filled it up for my shop hahaha it was better than Christmas hahaha
Don't you just love it when Dorks do this~!!! This guy knows a lot less than he thinks he knows~~!!!!
I got some Starret and Brown and Sharpe micrometers that way. The guy had no use for them.

Love seeing the little family updates in your videos. Such a great family you got mate! Loving the videos! Godless you and your family. Love from Australia
Flat spanners and offset spanners both have many many useful applications. I'm a truck mechanic and I have both in my box for any sort of application that I come up against.
Ratcheting wrenches dont have an offset because they are designed to be used to tighten or loosen. I would love a set and you just threw them out jeez
Great for torque converter nuts.
Or..... instead of being cheap you could get the offset ones with reverse levers.
@@drksoldier1 or, any skilled worker knows that offsets do not work everywhere. Pretty much every tool was made for a reason, offsets or not...
@@SirCanuckelhead of course they work everywhere. They do still have a non offset side with an open end. Some even have a "ratcheting" open end. I've been working on cars and now boats and yachts professionally for almost 20 years and have never once needed a non offset box end wrench. 🤷🏼♂️ Do yourself a favor and throw out any ratcheting wrenches you have without a reverse lever though. When you back it off into something and can't reverse it you will be cutting it off. It's happened to my coworkers more than once.
@@drksoldier1well your experience does not cover all the needs of wrenches. There are 100% spots that only a flat would work. Silly to think otherwise really.
If you kept the Milwaukee tape measure, you'd have a nail for the membrane of caulk. :)
Lol, I thought the exact same thing.
First thing I thought of when he said that.
i actually love that your tools good or bad you can tell they have been used too many videos on youtube show brand new tools being either hated on or loved without properly testing the longevity
Those ratcheting wrenches shouldn't be used to loosen anything with the box end. You should use a combo wrench first. Otherwise its user error.
that wrench doesn't have an offset because the racketing is not reversible ...
Exactly!!. You can get the swivel heads but when you finally loosened your rusty bolt you bust your knuckles.
I'm not sure this guy knows how to use a ratchet wrench
@Corey Loch then he should stick to hammers, squares and tape measures 🤣
The ratchet reverses by flipping it over and putting it on the nut or bolt from that side.
@@christopherconradson4284 Is the racket that reverses ???
Wish I was wealthy enough to throw away tools. If I have a tool I don't like I pass them on to someone else. Garbage seems like a waiste.
Agreed. I have bent up made in China pliers that I don't throw away, despite having long since moved onto Klein Tools and Dewalt.
As an hvac tech the magnet on the end of the Milwaukee tape measure is super helpful. Haven’t had the issues with the sides of the tape you mentioned but maybe it’s because mine isn’t the auto locking one? Idk. Absolutely agree with every single other review. Keep it up. New subscriber, love the information
Hey Josh, awesome profile picture, made me happy looking at it
Moral of the video is Wrangler doesn't really seem to understand what many tools are used for...
This video is for apprentices to feel better. “I DONT LIKE THIS BECAUSE I CANT USE IT RIGHT.”
Sage wisdom! Lol! You can’t use tools properly, learn to code!😂😂
Best quote ever from one of my apprentices. "Is there really no video I can learn this from, or is this another one of you skill things I just need to get good with." Sorry kid, you just got to get good, he was hanging lights in a parkade. I wanted them up fast and deadly straight, he was not having fun.
made myself watch until "worm drive saw has too much torque." uh, isn't the torque why you bought it?
He's whining about the starting torque. I've used that exact model and it works just fine. No better or worse than my old skil. He's pretending to be a big tough manly man but he's more of a snowflake than the people he whines about. 😂
@@drengr2759 guessing by the rust on the blade that it's blunt af too!
He must be one of those people that like to have the saw blade touching the line before they start it. Having too much torque would move the blade position and be annoying for someone like that. I always start my blade then move it into position as that's how I was taught.
@@drengr2759 He probably bought it because it has the blade on the correct side.
For general use I never understood why they moved the blade to the right side of the saw for regular saws.
It puts the load on the outside putting way more strain on your wrist while pushing, and it puts the cut out of sight.
Sure sometimes you need it on that side, but sometimes you need it on the left side. I think it must be women were cutting their fingers off when the blade was on the left side.
@@flyingsodwai1382 thats good advice. Thanks. Im a beginner with carpentry.
I like my Worm Drive circular saws, and as far as a bow saw a silky is three times the work non ergonomic.

Mad underrated comment 😂😂
Damn!!! Lol dude is kinda butter soft, bet he knows good lotions for skin care

He should ask his boyfriend before throwing away his tools like that
Ooooooof
Ratcheting wrenches are super useful I use them often. The reason theyre flat is if they had an offset it would have to be a flex head because you cant flip the mechanism like a ratchet you have to flip the wrench. Theres probably some high end ones with a flipper but buy and large theyre good tools regardless
Put an offset in it the wrench. Totally agree with Knipex. I made that switch years ago, never will another channel lock touch my hand.
Some people that dont know how to operate tools correctly shouldn't critique them
He Has an opinion and u have one ❄️
@@peytonmccosco5712 his opinion is objectively wrong, and he posted it online you can't not expect backlash ❄️
I grew up working on my own cars, and discovered early on that every tool has it's uses. As a master carpenter, with 50 years of experience I have also learned that 99% of the complaints of the problem with a tool are operator error. A true craftsman will learn to use the tool in his hands, before blaming it for his short comings.
True, but if you have a cheap tool lot of times it’s frustrating to use it
Idk man i feel like not using sprayfoam because its icky is definitely not operator error
Yes, and recognize when you need another tool. Most people who use tools add to their kit when necessary, and don’t just throw out a good tool (like a Channellock) because it didn’t fit a particular situation.
@@GH-oi2jf I agree, which is why I have a huge shop stuffed full of tools 🤨
I can use the wrong tool better than most. I have learned from pros how to use every tool I own. I live in a tiny home and I can't store tools that don't work good enough. I am a residential wood stud framer and owning the right tool is paramount.
Crowsfoot wrenches are specialty tools with specific purposes. I never needed them, and never had them until I was working on some power steering lines on my car, and then nothing else would have worked. Not a bad tool, but certainly rarely needed at home. I've had good experiences with the Bosch cordless tools. My old 12 volt impact is about 20 years old, and the batteries still hold a good charge. Then I have the newer 18 volt set (had for 5 years), and their cordless reciprocating saw (the bigger one they have) with some extra battery packs is extremely useful (at least in my area).
One of the most incredible examples I've ever seen of someone blaming his ineptness with tools on the tools. I own and use everything you threw away, including a tomahawk. I have one of those that my father made from a car spring years ago. It isn't a shop tool and I wouldn't use it to split wood for the fireplace, but I take it with me when I go camping.
I'm thinking the same! I have an $11 anvil caulk gun that works great. Did my bathroom, kitchen, some sealing for exterior products. The Milwaukee tape measurer is totally fine with me. Crows feet aren't my favorite but I was using them for a mini-split install on my torque wrench and it worked great!
"apart from splitting skulls, I have never found them useful"
*The FBI has entered the chat...*
haha I thought so how do you know so well how useful they are splitting skulls Cody? On second thought I will just stay away from him to be safe. lol
FBI? ...free views! lol.
Hi FBI, they're also likely good for kindling and finer woodwork that requires finesse, rather than brute strength.
Referring to his native American heritage, of course...
@@nottodaybuddy370 nah, he thought so too. the uneven cutting head make splitting and kindling difficult.
He is complaining about the smallest flaws in tools, cause he can afford tons of them. Instead of throwing those tools away, give them to someone who is starting out, who cannot afford it. Instead, he sees the tiniest flaws, that other people will not mind at all.
He knows a good amount to make himself think hes an expert on every tool ever made. Came here just to see what bs he's spilling out his mouth this time.
yes children in africa could have eaten those tools.

The wrenches without offset are absolutely essential for instance changing blades on certain power planers. You have to fit the french into a narrow gab, which would be impossible if it did have an offset. Same with reaching to any narrow space to take a hold of a bolt to be able to unscrew the nut from the other side etc. Both have their places and it is best to own both.
And if you've got a hot wrench you can contort them to any shape. Every now and then I hace to ruin/alter a standard wrench for a particular troublesome nut or bolt. Ditto for the crow feet, not used often but when you need them, priceless.
Yeah he just says stuff. sometimes he's right, sometimes he's wrong. Welcome to UA-cam.
I use them all the time on my farm equipment. Flat ratchet wrenches are essential.
@@ZingaraJoe That's been my position on the true usefulness of "Horror Fright" wrenches - much less painful than torch modifying a proto or SK.
@@StefanBacon You hit the, "nail" on its head.
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Don't just trash them, hand them to the next person in need so they can build their own frustrations.
Seriously though, for someone who does not have anything these will come in handy.

@@churblefurbles Yea It must be. I've been to his Trash dump 3 times. Haven't found a tool Yet.
Just subscribed. Great videos and love your knowledge. A fan from Ireland 🇮🇪
enjoy him, just know that this video is rough, all of these tools are fantastic if used right and for the right job.
A bad workman always blames the tool.
Cody I would pay shipping for your crowsfeet set. I'm a beginner diesel technician and have needed them countless times. Please message me if you see this.
Cody did not throw one tool away, when the video was finished he retrieved every tool from the trash.
buzzincalifornia i wouldnt doubt it. Probs got sponsored to hype up certain tools
I work on industrial valves. We always use these on our torque wrenches when installing valves in pipelines. You just can't get a socket on the studs because the valve bodies flare out and there isn't enough room.
He's a sell out. Good luck haha but go to his amazon store! What a joke.

I’m a carpenter of 26+ years and I LOVE MY MILWAUKEE TAPE MEASURE, I’ve owned all the others and Stanley Fatmax is 2nd to my Milwaukee!!
HINT: KEEP THE NAILS OUT OF YOUR TAPE POUCH !! Nails have their own pouch on your belt !!
I do hobby metalwork and after realizing how stupidly strong the steel is in Klein Tools (especially their needle nose pliers), I got one of their tape measures. There's a vid on here of a guy comparing all the tape measures. Klein did really well in the tests.
30+ years Journeyman and Milwaukee tapes suck.
For me, I still prefer a Craftsman measure. It has a 2-sided end-catch and is easy to read for my bad eyes. I don't need standard and metric. Just give me big print American measurements. 🤣
I like my Milwaukee tape measure too! Haven't had any issues
Lufkin makes good cheap tape measure.. im a plumber.. i fvckn luv Milwaukee almost everything.. except the durability of there tapes..
I have a tear in my eye seeing tools being thrown away
I've enjoyed watching your clips and have started looking back at your previous stuff. Your descriptions of land management artifacts and their usages (especially for USFS) are as informative as captivating. Nice job. Do you think the current concern from some people regarding electoral integrity in the US is based on objective facts?
the flat wrench gets in places where an offset doesnt, like when working on cars engine bay.. what are you talking about?
Like torque converters????? Only a flat wrench fits.
He doesn't know the proper use for most of these tools.
Some engines when headers are put on and the only thing that fits is a flat wrench. Obviously every job varies hence why there are adjustable, offset, straight wrenches. It is crazy!
That must be even more true if you work on minis :P
He explained several times for the things he does it doesnt have usefulness to him but he mentions other may have tasks that would suit those tools
I never knew that those "janky" caulk guns could cut the tube. Man they are even better than I thought.
The cheaper ones dont. That hole just kinds chews off the end after about a dozen bites. Havnet bought one in years since I have an electric one now. but as I recall the ones of that style always had several options. the 2.99 one the 6.99 one and the 12 dollar one. the 12 dollar one prolly works just as well as his plastic yellow handle one.
@@flyingsodwai1382 why probably gonna use a caulking gun like maybe once a year unless you remodel houses or even then they are ok and get the job done.
who uses the cheesy cutter on the gun to cut the tube and who punches it with the built on probe that then puts a glob of caulk onto the barrel where you are going to get it on your hand?
@@flyingsodwai1382
Idk, my 5 dollar ones have it. Cheapest ones I could find.
@@pixelbob7983
Anything you want waterproofed can be. If you own a house, you have to have them. I recently installed some lights on the side of my house and, yep, I caulked them. IP44 wasn't good enough for me, so I made it IP67 with the caulking gun.
I agree with your assessment on the Milwaukee Tape measure; the tape is substandard - one little redeeming feature is that it has some decent little scales other than fractions of an inch on the first few feet that are helpful if your scaling weird field measurements. That said, not enough to maybe warrant keeping it around.
Having needed a wrench without an offset recently I can say I agreed up until a couple of days ago. There is no tool that does everything and when it comes out I will buy 2.
ah ... the caulking guns ... when I was a kid growing up I would take them from my dad's toolbox and they became my "sub-machine gun", the imagination of kids growing up ...
The good ole days running around playing war games with a caulk gun lol I still do that ocasionaly
I did this
An air chisel is an awesome machine gun too even makes the sound for u
Ah yes
.. the good days
Ditto
I nearly had a stroke when he said the jitterbug sander is useless. As a painter (interior and exterior house painting) I have used these sanders to strip 50 years worth of paint back in seconds. I'm talking several layers of oil, lead and acrylic paint. An 80grit will make short work of anything, yes jitters aren't as great for stock wood removal (which isn't what they're designed for anyways) but for sanding paint which the jitterbug is primary used for (or for fine finish on wood) they're great tools.
The jitterbug sander is cheaper to supply sandpaper for. Orbitals need special and rather expensive pads. A pack of pads for an orbital sander will set you back 50 bucks. you can get 4 different grit rolls of sandpaper for 50 bucks.
Also the square or rectangle shape lets you get in places an orbital struggles to get, specifically corners. When you sand a house with an orbital sander it will miss a few square inches on every board where the weatherboard meets the scribe of windows or the corner boxing of the wall. You either have to hand sand the (literal) hundreds of missed spots because the orbital is round or you use a jitterbug and save yourself hours of work.
In general yes I think the jitterbug isn't as good as an orbital (in general) but you can get a similar amount of work done and a similar quality with either tool. To imply they're bad is mind bogglying.
Knowing how and when to use a tool is pretty important, if you don't know how or when to use a tool then yeah you'll think it's a bad tool. Take it from a guy who has years of experience using all types of sanders for all applications, the jitterbug absolutely has it's uses, anything who thinks otherwise is wrong.
That was one of the few I actually agreed with him on 😂 but I see your point. Every tool has a purpose to someone out there.
I didn’t read this text wall completely, but I think I know what you mean after reading the first part
I noticed something with this guy if he don't use it nobody should
It does make a silky soft finish....
@@theoutdoorduck701
We're talking about a guy that has trouble using a caulking gun.
LOL agree 100% on the Milwaukee tape measure. Things that i hate that you did not mention. The belt clip will not clip with out using two hands,using one to force it open and the other to push. Simply bending the bottom open into a flair would have made it work. The lock is extremly hard to engauge and once engauged it does not hold. L:ocking and unlocking is never smooth or easy. You hit the nail about the magnet. Love the Fat Max.
Every tool here has been improperly explained. The “tomahawk” is actually used for installing cedar shakes. The bow saw is generally a camping saw. The box wrench without offset is used in auto repair where you can’t use an offset wrench such as when working along side a firewall. The worm drive saw is actually meant to be a heavy duty saw. The spray foam is easily removed with acetone, etc.. The Channel Locks weren’t properly adjusted. The sander is a “Finish sander”, etc.. I guess my father actually explained all of this to me. How painful to watch all of that stuff go in the trash when a donation to a group such as Habitat for Humanity would have quickly repurposed all of it to raise money for construction projects. Sad….
"Jitterbug sander" Is good for finishing alumium to get anodized. No Swirls
My experience has been the reverse with wood. I always get swirls with the jitterbug which have been totally eliminated by the orbital. I get that it could be an issue with aluminum though.
I've hand sanded a shovel before. Literally took two days and many sanding papers. No way that handsanding would be quicker than using this power tool.
Fringe Wizard I used to use it for table tops. For me, it wasn’t that it was slow, it just would leave swirls all over the piece that would show up when I stained it. Switching to an orbital fixed that.
@@FringeWizard2 I doubt this or any other power sander could do a shovel with all the contours it has. Sandblasting prolly the way to go. MAYBE a corner cat but you'd end up wasting tons of pads since you could only use the tip on most of the shovel. I'm obviously bored. I know this isn't important enough to be commenting on :)
It's better for sanding endgrain on boards. At least in my experience.
the type of guy who would complain about battery powered tools....: "everytime i try to use it i have to charge it"
He is the type of guy that would complain that he has to refuel the chainsaw to it to work and that's why it's a terible tool.
@@cristiuup2101 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

Now I remember why I hadn’t watched this channel in ages.
What, the guy who leans over a running chain saw, or pours diesel fuel by the gallon onto the ground above his well, or the guy who complains about a shop owner who kicked him out because he was blindly knocking over every display with his daughter mounted like a backback, or the guy who talks about how godly it is to cherish the land and leave it for your children while shouting over the noise of a caravan of logging trucks hauling off timber he's harvesting in an unsustainable manner off his property etc.? LMAO yeah this guy IS a worhtless tool.
Too many cartoons to watch instead?
I think the last Wankerstar video I watched was the one where he was making a big show of keeping a pistol on his hip while working with hay or something. It was just so absurd to have that thing hanging off the hip while trying to work.
Had a pistol on my hip all day today, even mowed the lawn with.
@@heyg7819 ok
I was with you on the Milwaukee tape, flat box wrench and claw wrench, but I will take all of your (brand name) Channel Locks. They aren't designed to grab small things in the tips. They are for grabbing round objects like pipe and double as a wrench in a lot of cases. I would probably hate the Knipex for some other functional reason.
Don't throw them all away give them to a newbie! Let them learn on them.
So hits his knuckles using a wrench cuts his fingers with a measuring tape and the makita has too much torque for your grip.I think the problem is you have weak sensitive hands
i never cut my hands with it like how does that even hapoen 💀
"It is a hateful and terrible thing, and I won't suffer it any longer."
Wow, that must really be one bad tape measure.
Spray foam does have its place though. If you have it professionally installed as insulation, the canned spray foam works great for sealing up soffit vents after shoving in a piece of foam board.
If you actually had something in-between the jaws of the channel locks and they were adjusted properly the handles would not be touching.
This guy is funny! I've always been told "The right tool for the job." This guy is the wrong tool! but he did do a great job of showing his lack of knowledge.
I was thinking the same! I'm not a professional, but I know the proper use for the tools he couldn't understand.
Dang, half of those tools are in my work van right now. Guess it’s because I’m a real tradesman and know how to use them. Really hope you didn’t actually throw that worm drive saw away!
I dont even throw away the free tools that come with something, like allen wrenches and flat head screw drivers, I know they are junk but in a pinch, they work.
I worked with a saw like that and it was a beast, grab it with both hands and go, no binding ... I'd love to own one... And he throws it away :S
@@chuckmiller5763 This.
I learned it from my grandmother of all people. She used to do a lot of DIY stuff when she was younger and she kept everything, used screws, old screwdrivers, absolutely everything.
Now that I'm helping her out in her new house if I don't have my toolkit with me I just go into her hoarded over decades collection and grab what I need.
For example a knob had come off a wardrobe door (they had some weird fitting that was press fit rather than screwed in) I go into her gack box of screws and find one the exact perfect length for getting it properly (re-)attached so she isn't pulling at this stubby spiked thing with arthritic fingers.
So many times have I been saved working up at her place because she never threw anything out.
Even when I upgrade my tools I keep the olds ones as back ups or to give to apprentices. Why you would throw away any tool is beyond me.
Just because a tool is upgraded in some form does not make it a bad tool, looked like those channel locks have had years of use...last week I needed a 3,4 (with no offset) wrench to release tension on a serpentine belt, offset would not work. Have $39 H Freight reciprocating saw for cutting oil tanks in half and tree roots, use my Bosch reciprocating saw for cleaner work. The Makita framing saw is a beast..I would of taken it! Lastly that caulking gun is $2, sounds like you have a beef with Home Depot not the tool. The tools you tossed have a useful place.
I have that Makita Worm Drive and it is a powerful beast. But I did have to remove the deck plate and file, bend and shim it so the edges are now square with the blade, they were way off. Only other problem I have had is the little plastic lever handle on the blade guard broke in two when I dropped the saw. It now has a stainless steel one I made out of a piece of scrap laying around.
crappy wrenches often become custom tools. dont feel bad about grinding them down.
Cody throws stuff in the bin punctures spray foam can and it shoots all over the workshop and himself , revenge of the spray foam is sweet .
I work in steel and I love the Milwaukee magnetic tape. The belt clip is really nice because it never bends out, the tape has markings on both sides, the body is an even 3 1/2 inches long, the hook is nice and big, the finger rest is way more comfortable. I also really like the flush ratcheting box wrenches because they take up less space and they can get into tighter spots. You should always have more than one type of wrench, anyway. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool
One of the things that drive me nuts about modern advertising. These tape companies acting like they've invented the wheel by including the measurement or having some sort of even measurement on the body. That's pretty standard. My new lufkin nite eye is marked 3.25", my 20 some year old stanley powerlock II was a dead even 3". My grandfather's Carlson Big Chief 12ft tape with metal body was an even 2" and marked and it's from the 40's or 50's. They can stop acting like they invented this 'feature'. lol.
WAS the box wrench ratcheting? I couldn’t bear to watch too closely. I imagine if it was offset, he’d complain about it being impossible to use. Which would at least be a valid complaint.
I’m a commercial electrician and we all use Milwaukees. Wide blade 25 ft. I wanna like fatmaxes but I can’t.
I work outdoors and my Milwaukee rusted out and the petroleum products that are in the industrial setting I work in dissolved the paint
I started with the milwaukee tape they start to tear really easy for me at least. I bought a Stanley Fatmax and it's been one of the best tape measure I've used so far.
Agree with you on most all those. It depends a lot on the work you do. I have a set of Irwin channel locks that are awesome. The cheap ones I agree are terrible to use. And crows feet I used a lot doing diesel injectors or something’s fuel rails on diesels. They’re not a tool I used often but when you need them you need them. But they are only good for certain applications.
"Stanley is the gold standard for carpenters tape measures"
I've never met a carpenter who didn't swear by Lufkin.
A little vise work will solve that "no offset" problem. And please tell me you ended up donating those tools to someone.
"I've never been able to cut well with it" one of my favorites
Channellock makes V-jaw wrenches... I always assumed there was a purpose for the flat-jaw Channellocks, but I just didn't know what it is. In any case, I have the Channellock "griplocks", which is their most similar thing to the Cobras. I also have Cobras. The Cobras are a nicer tool, nicer to use 90% of the time. Every now and then, I run into situations that require me to adjust the pliers with one hand, which is harder to do with the Cobras when one hand has to push the button while the other moves the handle... In any case, I ended up taking a few unintended showers as a result. As field engineer for equipment that has water cooling systems with pumps, heat-exchangers, valves and hoses throughout the machines, even with the pump off, there is a whole network of water-filled hoses up stream that will shoot out of any opening. It isn't at all uncommon to need to plug a hose with a thumb while using the other hand to remove or install a fitting. When I'm working on the Cooling system, I use Channelocks. I suspect that we see blue handles sticking out of the back pockets of plumber for similar reasons.
