My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

Thanks for watching Ya'll! Find all my Favorite Tools HERE!! www.amazon.com/shop/chickanic?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfchickanic_EWM2K7R2TG3EP9TWZKZV
Thank you so much. Before even watching I clicked the link, and immediately recognized the technology from another channel. I have a crazy assortment of 18v Ryobi due to special pricing (buy 2 4ah batteries for $99 and get something like a grease gun for free) at Home Depot online. Quick searched "Cordless Plastic Welder Ryobi" and one popped up with a limited time sale for only $19.49. Nothing else like that was anywhere near that price and it says 1-3 seconds to heat at 85 watts. Scooped it up then watched your informative, customer friendly video which I enjoyed very much.
BTW: you are not kidding about pull starter assemblies on mower engines. I was a motorcycle tech years ago, and a neighbor dumped a new condition rear drive Toro recycler with bag that had a broken pull starter. After taking home from the curb, only needed a clean air filter until the owner made it worse. One China clone pull starter for Briggs GTS motor, air filter, oil, and plug. Plus some cleaning on the drive gear to keep it from dragging and I have the latest model $400.00 homeowner grade mower in new condition. That and a better than new $1 discount priced belt and a crazy $14 price on eBay for the OEM 133-8182 Atomic blade and it really is like new.
The truth is I walk the neighborhood for exercise at night and haven't bought a mower or Ice Chest in well over 25 years. Hard to beat free $140.00 ice chests that only need a $5.00 hinge set and/or drain plug. Scrub them with cleanser and a pad and they clean up like new before coming in the front door.
can you do a hydro gear 310-0750 that has lost reverse?? tnx
What are your thoughts on removing the ethanol from gasoline, that is shown on youtube, for use in small engines
Funny I first saw this tool in a video by Mustie 1... my first project would be the infamous JD hood... ran into the light post...
I already know at least 10 things I can think of to use this on.
when i was 14 i went and stayed with my uncle for a summer. he had hall contract cutters. out of a small town in oregon. i was the sharpening machine 5 saws every day. but there was one perk. i had to go get all the supplies. i got to drive a 4 door power wagon. what a beast. yea i need a pillow to drive it. the good old days. i'm 67 now.
That's a cool memory!
Those power wagons were the ultimate!!
RESPECT! I don't like to say "I hate growing up in this generation"
Even tho it's not really a lie 🤥
I wish I were born about a hundred years sooner.
I was born in 94.
Born and raised in the country!
But life got hectic and I've been in the city ever since...
And I simply can't afford to get out!
One day I will!
"O" yes I remember those power wagons. In highschool in the mid 1970s another classmate had his Dad's and drove it to school. It was so overwhelming sitting next to the other cars. The local Sewer department had a 1-1/4 weapons carrier
With a big A- frame on the front bumper. They used it to raise the big heavy MANHOLE risers and top plate. The sewer department employees treated that beast like a custom restoration vehicle. They had it up to the mid 2000 believe 😊 it's one of those vehicles like the power wagon that you wanted to keep. My friend's dad had an auto restoration shop at his home. He fully restored a WW-2 jeep, with STAR on the hood. He switched out the ignition for KEY start to make it more anti thief. He pulled it behind his ( GMC) motor home ( remember those) I did NOT buy his Jeep when he wanted to sell her ($3000) man I should have 😊
The guy retired from being local fire Chief in his FF days him and his guys most very gifted vehicle repair guys back then
He had got a 100 foot American La France that had been surplus as totalled when it was delivered on a rail car and came off rail car, for Tacoma FD. He replacing the cab with a standard open cab ( standard meaning) there were cabs in fire service that were ginaric type cabs
All the rear tiller part of the ladder was not damaged with minimal restoration work needed. He put in a 8V-71 Detroit Diesel with a 10 speed shifter ( Auto) like mining dumps had. This retired FD Chief was a master at restoration. He passed away in that ( GMC) motor home doing what he loved, up in high mountains on a yearly elk hunting camp. He died in his sleep. He had a previous stroke so we all knew it was coming. The Funeral put his coffin on top of his restoration ladder rig, for a funeral drive to the grave site.
@@WeThePeople-bv9qqI have a very similar story. But I made it out. I'm sitting in a hunting shack right now waiting for my spring turkey to pass by.
Here's hoping your time to bug out is soon my friend.

Tip for plastic welding, you can use zip ties as welding rods if you need to add plastic if there’s a missing piece and they’re available in almost any color to be able to match your work piece. Hope this helps somebody.
Zip ties work some times. Different plastics often don’t bond well. They do work well if the same or similar plastic. I’ve peeled them off after , no bond. Taking plastic from a inconspicuous place for repair to have same material works well if possible.
I pick up the pieces of broken plastic car parts from the side of the road . Free source of different types of plastic for.repairs
Another good source stop at local grocery store and ask them for bucket pickles come in, heavy enough material for most repairs price is right free & helps recycle something normally getting thrown out.
Hi I need your what is a good weed eater.? Thank you
I’m over 60 years old. When I grow up, I want to know as much as you do…thank you, N
I seriously don't know why this channel doesn't have a Million subs. Freakin excellent again
Working on it! Thanks for the comment!
Probably because its been stealth/nerfed. I've been subscribed with notifications on for something like 2 years and haven't seen a single video show up on feed since last October.
Could not agree more! To the original comment. Luckily I get notified of every vid. But I have settings set that way.
As the local neighborhood, small engine repair guy, I Always pickup good valuable information from you.
Thank you for your videos.
You don't see many mechanics with this kind of ethics. It's great that you thought of his pocket before yours
That echo saw was run over. I ran over my dad's echo leaf blower. If echo builds tools you can run over AND it still runs..... I'm sold! Forever echo fan
My first saw was a 16" Homelite Super2. It cost me $129 in 1980. I cut a big old oak tree down. It twisted. I put down the saw and ran. It landed on the saw, smashing it. The Local True Value Hdwe store was the Repair center so I gave it over and told the Tech to repair it. The cost was $115. I had given full permission without ever getting an estimate. The case was that much and he swapped it out for free, not having the heart to charge me for labor. From that moment on I became a small engine repairman as wee as a vehicle Mechanic 10 years earlier. Today I learn things from your channel every time I see it! That's why I subscribed and became a Member!
My dad was a tightwad. He bought a new chainsaw, and on the first tree he cut down, the wind changed, the tree pinched the saw dwhen it shifted. Dad abandoned the saw for safety. The tree shifted again, spitting out the saw, then shifted again, breaking off, and landing on the saw, demolishing it. He saved the bar only.
Cut my knee open on a Super 2 ouch.
I fucking hate boomers so much. Never had the luxury of taking my shit to someone else never could afford it.
My dad bought a super2 in 1979 which is the year my parents produced me. I grew up in Maine so buy the time I was 12 that saw was attached to me October through December cutting firewood. Fortunately that saw is on my work bench waiting for me to order the correct carbitraitor kit. It has been tricky hunting down the correct kit because the carbitraitor says Homelite on it. I believe it is a Tillitson or a Walboro I can’t remember thank the deed lord I wrote it down somewhere.
@@darrenwilson7688me too. Now I always wear chaps.😊👍
My better half wants to give you a huge thanks for the tip about caster oil
Doctors didn’t help with steroids at all but this is helping with her skin issues 🙏
This comment makes me so happy!
Dr Berg.....
Thanks Chickanic I am going to get one to fix my quad that rolled over. Broke some plastics, did not realize how inexpensive they were to buy. Thanks for a great video!
Now that plastic repair machine will become a greatest money saver ever ! Thank you so much for sharing that Chicanick ! Your awesome !❤
I've been using paper clips or some thin gauge steel wire and bend it to the shape and length needed and melt with a soldering iron.seems to work pretty good for a jury rigged set up for plastic repairs.
Hello Chickanic, Another little tid bit of info, if you happen to own a Weller pistol solder gun, you can use it for plastic welding by taking a short piece of #12 copper bare house wire and make a tip of whatever shape you may need and do your welding with that.
the fastest 22 minutes I have seen in a long time..(time flies when you are enjoying the content!)
You’re awesome Bre! Thank you for the shoutout! I’ve already picked up quite a few views and subscribers from this mention. THANK YOU! 20:20
Awesome! Well you really did work magic on that hood! LOL
@@ChickanicI sincerely appreciate the kind words. I’ve added an updated video since the one you mentioned where I had to take two broken hoods to make one good one. I have fun with this stuff. 😁👍
How to Restore A Cracked John Deere Hood Like a Pro!
ua-cam.com/video/n6iRVleWSjY/v-deo.html
Stuck watching UA-cam recovering from yet another surgery after a car accident. Glad I found this channel, great content, and got to see my favorite corvette model in my favorite color. I live in the country and have a shop full of way too many tools and machines, plus I like to fix things for family and friends. I’m looking forward to using these tips when I finally get back home in a couple more weeks. And I’ll definitely be adding a plastic welder to the welder collection. 👍
Here's to a quick recovery. While it's a bummer about the surgeries and accident, you seem to have a great attitude, so I have no doubt you'll be back at it soon to make use of your know found knowledge. Because of Bri the Chickanic's videos, I already know what I'll be doing in my retirement in a few years. And like you, I like to help out family and friends.
I love how that plastic welder worked and ordered one right after the video was finished. Thanks, Bre!
Still watching even though all my equipment is running...weird! Great job!
You’re like a genius only smarter. 😂 Thanks for the tip on the plastic welding kit.
For years, I used an old soldering gun and zip strips. It worked, but it wasn't super secure. I found one of these a few years ago, and ... I whip this thing out every chance I get. I grin like a little kid every time I get to use it. My girlfriend just rolls her eyes every time I whip it out in the shop 🤠 It is SO much fun and it works GREAT!
It's a guy thing. They will never understand us, nor us them.
Same thing with barbeques.
Men and fire are like women and hot tubs. They just go together.😅
That MS 461 definitely hit a nail. I have a 460 and believe me they’re so powerful that if they hit something solid like that, they have enough power to blow the clutch to bits.
that plastic welder is pretty slick
I love this tool, Didn't buy it yet, but Yes! how to reinforce plastic repairs! Thanks for sharing..
Watching your channel has taught me a lot about my own small engine tools of course saving me T.M.F as you say. And now as of your recommendation while I have seen many videos about plastic welding, I decided to order one from your link for myself. Thanks again and keep the great videos coming!!
You are brilliant! A real beauty too. Tell your husband he's a lucky man and that a 74 year old man said that! I've learned so many useful things about hi lo tuning, sharpening chain saws, bad fuel issues, John Deere deck maintenance,...so much more. You are truly a great resource on this planet for those of us who struggle with these machines. I don't know how you learned all this but I bet I speak for a bunch of folks who are glad for your willingness to share your insights. Keep up the great, meaningful work that you do.
Ps I just ordered one of these plastic welders from Amazon! Thanks so much!
I have one of those welding guns, I mainly use it to repair cracked atv plastics, I use a harbor freight plastic welding iron to smooth over the area and a dremmel to grind down any remaining wire from the hot staple. My Polaris ranger hood contains about 75 or so of them and they are holding pretty good. It was wrecked when I bought it. Great tool, very useful
I started watching this channel a few years ago. You inspired me to get back into small engine repair. I was a otr truck driver for 7 years. Finally found a good local job. The small engine repair is my side gig. Also have my own stuff to repair.
You’re one sharp lady. Enjoy your videos.
I have the EVL version of that saw. All magnesium. What a beast. The paint looks like new thirty years later.
My Stihl quick cut got slightly run over and it fixed up with JB Weld. It took some planning and certain clamps, but essentially an in invisible repair.
My next door neighbor's JD Mower Hood is held together with Duck Tape, that Plastic Welder would work Miracles on his Tractor Hood...
You can accomplish the same thing with a soldering iron and all kinds of metal objects. I like paper clips, staples, wite, and even pieces of metal window screen. I have fixed all kinds of things and never had a failure
@@fauxque5057these staples are a spring steel. Not soft like a paperclip
I already have one of those welders from "accidentally" watching a video where Mustie1 fixed a John Deere Hood. I got mine and fixed mine but it looked so good"patinaed" that I did not fiberglass or paint it. I got the stuff just never did it. Wife says I'm just lazy. But, really I like it that way. Besides the hydo-static trans went and I cannot use it anyway. (Yeah, I know, excuses.... excuses, geez you sound like my wife!)
Love this channel. There is so much good information available for free so it's well worth watching. Thanks!
I bought a polymer canoe cheap, because it had a good sized hole in the bottom. I used a Harbor Freight hot air plastic welder and a cheap trash can (of very close to the same color) to repair the canoe to the point you could hardly detect the damaged area. Sold it for a little profit too.
You are the most intelligent and most beautiful mechanic in the whole wide world.. ❤😂
Aw! Thanks!
@@Chickanic he's right ..so much better looking than Taryl Dactal..lol..❤❤
@@Chickanic YES beautiful, and you keep us abreast of everything ! Thanks
@@Hotdaddy536 You have to kidding right?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the recommendation of the plastic wedding tool. I have two plastic boats and the older one is in need of fixing. I appreciate you and your videos.
So much admiration for your talent. Bless the person who taught you how to fix things, but it's obvious you really have an awesome talent.
The little plastic wielder is way cool. Didn't know they made such a thing. I have always used a soldering gun and a piece of copper wire. Oh, and if you need some filler material, weed eater line.
I'm so glad to see you demonstrate the plastic welding gun! I'm a retired Paramedic, so if I can improvise a way to make a repair cheap (especially just learning so much of this), I bought one awhile back off Amazon. I love the thing; I had a rather large crack in the dash of my Chevy Avalanche & this took care of it.....broken trash can lid - fixed that too. Absolute wonderful tool (and since I have a Stihl chainsaw that I need to repair, thank you for another great chainsaw video)
ur THE BOMB GIRL.......lookin out them customers ~~~~ good on ya
I never knew they made such a thing. A plastic fixer upper. Gotta fetch myself one of those. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
You as so right on the John Deere's. Mine is held together with dozens of paper clips bent and heated with
a propane torch. Love the heat gun, ordering one now.
That tool is the best. Used it to repair a John Deere hood last week. Yep BaldEagle is where I got the tip. 👍
That tool is a great tool you have know idea how many times I could have used it.great video thanks for sharing this.your videos are so informative 😊☮️
My wife keeps badgering my to take the wheelbarrow to the dump, but I resist. Now I have a good reason to keep it!!
Really enjoy your videos. Learned a few things and used used them a couple times. Thanks for all the tricks and keep them coming
I know what you mean about the JD hoods, made of plastic, that plastic Welder is great. That would come in handy. The after market hoods are even pricey. Thanks for the info. Also glad you are feeling better!😊
Thank you for our service, just so helpful.
Hi Bre. I enjoy watching your channel all the time. I always leave a thumbs up, but can't leave comments, since that option doesn't appear when watching on my 55" TV. I'm on my PC today, so here's a comment... You always provide the best, common sense approach to explaining and repairing equipment. You're honest and up front presentation style is refreshing and you consistently provide awesome info for saving time, money and frustration! 😁At the same time, you're excelling in a male dominated industry, helping to open doors for young ladies who may follow. Thank you for all that you're doing!!
thanks for the video really enjoyed it i never thought you could repaired the plastic housing that easy.
dont fret the haters Jamie some people aren't happy regardless of what you do. i think you are doing a great job dont let anyone say different .
I new Bald Eagle was coming. Yes he does a great job. Have fixed several things due to his vids on this. I want the the tool yo have. 👍
You had a lot of goodies in the shop today. I love my mantis and my cs400. I have a 690 but the 400 is light and powerful so I find I go to the 400 for most cutting. Good tips as usual Chickanic!
I first watched your channel yesterday. I am really enjoying the content.
Thanks for sharing.
I repaired a plastic door panel for my truck that had cracked almost in half at one of the simulated seam areas, with a product called G-Flex fiberglass resin. The stuff is amazing. Somehow it sticks to plastic and is flexible so it won't crack. They have a youtube video where they cut a plastic kayak in half, glued it back together with the g-flex, and slid down a gravel hill in it and threw it off a bridge onto the ground below, and it didn't come apart. I also used the stuff on a large plastic storage container that had a hole cut in it that I patched back up with this stuff and used it as a water storage container for years, with no leaks.
What a cool way to repair plastic. Sure beats epoxy an trying to clamp together to cure. Thanks, u find really helpful, sweet stuff.
I've done plastic welding with a Soldering Iron... This Looks So Much Easier and Better! Thanks for the Heads Up!
I have an old Weller soldering gun that has attachments for melting plastic, hot cutting linoleum, etc. Not too good for electronic stuff, but for heavy auto/farm use it is the tool to use. Plus it weighs about "a ton".
Hey excellent tutorial
Got one of those plastic welding tools Saved me dozens of times
Those plastic staple welders are awesome. I used it to hold together a cracked bumper. It was probably strong enough, but went ahead and laid fiberglass resin and matting on the inside. Still holding strong!
You impress me every time. Lady you are THE GIRL
As soon as I watched this video I went to Amazon and ordered a plastic welder. Thanks for the heads up!
There's no telling how much stuff I could have repaired if I would have had one of these plastic welders when all toys started being made mostly, or ALL out of plastic. DOH!!!
Completely agree! Handiest thing ever - especially on JD Mower hoods!!!
Hope you’re doing well. Marvelous work. Plastic welding has saved me many many Times great video.
Cool! I didn’t know you could weld plastic back together. Your channel is awesome!!! 😎
Ordering my tool right now. Rock on girl, best small engine channel on the tube.
I've used my welder like yours to fix all sorts of car parts and even my favorite plastic chair. Every DIYer should have one! I have another kind like a very heavy soldering iron that I used to fix a crack in my Mountaineer's intake manifold causing a water leak by melting in a fine stainless wire mesh patch - and without even having to remove it. With so much plastic in use it's a shame to toss it when with some patience and practice it can often be fixed.
Thankyou for saving us heaps of money 💰 love the plastic welder. Have to get one✔️. My John Deer hood 😮 did crack , So l fibre glassed the inner surface with a metal plate and it still good after 2 years. From Melbourne AUSTRALIA 👍🤠
I have repaired many dirt bike and snowmobile parts with a 'soldering iron style' plastic welder, metal window screen, and plastic welding rods. Up until I watched this video, I had never seen one like what you used. Pretty cool little item. I think using the tool you had as a first pass, then the soldering iron style welder as a second step, it's possible to make an almost undetectable repair. Yep. I like things to look good when I'm done... lol
You are awesome and I absolutely love your videos… I went ahead and brought the plastic welder. Thank you.
Love my plastic welder. Had it for a few months. Definitely comes in handy.
You give some great information on how to save money so that tells me you don't rip people off .Thanks😊
Good Channel. I especially like the way you get right into things.
So wise , Thank You for Showing how how to do the Job. A fine tool to have. Thank You.
Love that tool, definitely gonna get one, thanks for the video
Love how you use his old saws to Frankin' Fix it! I have three different plastic welders, use my wife's wood burning kits with great success! Thanks again for a great upload..♥
Been using my plastic welder like that for a few years, fixed a lot of motorcycle parts with it and also all kinds of household items. Well worth the money, although I am running low on staples.
Chickanic and coffee YEA!!!
That's what I am doing this morning!
I use my soldering iron and staples to plastic weld. Also zip ties to melt things together. Did that on my old Mac 65 gas tank. Worked like a charm.
another stellar Bre Performace, you got to know when to hold 'em, when to repair them.....
Wow, I've never seen that plastic welder before, that looks like a great product. Thank you Bre for bringing that out to show us how it works.❤❤❤
Wow. I didn't even know these existed. Looks like a must have tool to me. Now it's in my Amazon cart!
Thanks for another informative video. You might consider using flush cut side cutters to trim the wire ends on those pieces. You will have less sanding or grinding. You can get a pair cheap at HD. Good for trimming zip ties too; leaving no sharp end sticking up. Thanks again.
Plastic welder is a great idea! But seriously, look into the hakko chp-170 micro cutters to snip those little wires off nice and flush. Also great for flush snipping the zip tie ends! They are so cheap I keep them all over the garage and shop. Keep up the great work!
That's so cool you featured that plastic welding tool. I became familiar with that tool from the video you spotlighted. My sister's fence broke and you can't get the exact replacement parts for it. I was looking for ways to repair the broken pieces when I found that video while searching. Worked like a charm, just like in the video. I can tell you that it works as easy as you show in the video. I feel like I'm one of the cool kids now because I use tools that Bri the Chickanic uses.
I'm getting one of these today! Thanks!
Thank you for so much of useful information
I have one of those plastic welding guns and they are a lifesaver. A must have. Great video.
That was a surprise to me,the plastic welding gun,never heard of them,hopefully they sell them in the UK,I work on boats and that gun would be very handy on non structural stuff,thanks for the tip
Another Chickanic drop! Thanks for the helpful info
Love your channel. Thank so much please keep posting. Love all the tool recommendations.
I have one of the plastic welders, and it works great!
I just ordered that plastic welder, on your link of course! The $60 air deflector on my Ford van got cracked by a falling branch last month. I'm going to remove it, plastic weld in those little Zs from the back, and re-install. Fantastic! Was going to use epoxy. This will be much better
Plastic welders are great. Mine paid for itself 3x over in the first repair I did with it. I bought the one you have and the flat iron type. They both have earned their keep and I have yet to restock the consumable bits. Cheers.
The alternate name for the tool is bumper stitcher, I got mine 5 years ago to repair my mower catcher and loved it since, also you can get a bumper smoothing kit it has one or two special irons just for grooving and smoothing the plastic plus you can get a tip that allows you to melt a 'plastic' (usually abs or lino) to fill a groove. For the price you might only need it a couple of times but if you have it you won't regret it if you need it. (ps I also used it to fix the wifes laundry baskets, mutiple ones as they tend to break/crack a lot).
Well I must say this is another Great Teaching Video, thank you😊
As always great video young lady!! You are the small engine wizard lady!! That's so cool you actually look out for your customers don't happen much in this day n age. That's cool tool I have little tiller attachment that goes on my weed eater that has a plastic shield that keeps cracking I actually melted small washers into the cracks with my soldering gun but your tool would be a lot cleaner job. I'm gonna get me one of them. Congratulations on your new shop at home. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun.
Thanks for sharing all your great information
Great video, tips, and advice, thank you!
Cool tool! It's in my cart!
Thanks for the advice. Definitely a tool I need to get. As always enjoy your channel. Best Wishes
What a fun video! Yep! Those hot staples are SOOOO useful! I’ve repaired things from big trash cans to motorcycle fairings. I do like to add stainless mesh where possible for added reinforcement.
Hey there, Chickanic! I've watched many of your videos but this one made me hit the subscribe button. I can't wait to get one of those plastic welders. I've thrown out so many plastic items that could have been easily fixed. By the way, I am a push lawn mower junkie and work on them constantly. I have about 25 of them, and I'm trying very hard not to get written up by our mobile home park office! LOL. Thanks for the great videos and keep them coming. :)
Nice fix Bre, very well done.
