YT has always been known for having a lot of fakes. That's why you're so popular. You're legit.
Its the culture of people in those countries. They don't want to give away the secrets of their trade but, at the same time, they want to show off. That's why they seem to make critical mistakes or they avoid replacing things they should replace. Anyone can clean up an engine with 0 skill but not everyone knows how to replace rings, hone cylinders, compress rings, etc.
@@ryelor123 True. I've seen many "how to" videos from the US and UK that skip a lot of important steps that cause the viewers to end up in over their heads. I have had to bail out many of these people because of this. There are good presenters but there are plenty of terrible ones. "Scotty Kilmer" is terrible. He makes me want to reach through the internet and slap the crap out of him, lol. He's so ridiculous, he's funny to me but there are so many people who think he knows what he's doing, lol.
Yeah, most of the primitive technology ones are faked. Yeah, we completely dug this huge hole in the ground with sticks. Never mind the tread marks from a track hoe.
One of the reasons I and many others follow your channel is because we know enough about small engines to know that you know how to fix them!
As an aside I have a Husqvarna 240 strimmer (brush cutter) hanging around in my garage with a blade on it
I decided yesterday that after 4 years hanging there I might see if it would go
NO new fuel just some discoloured something in the bottom of the tank
5 pulls and she's running!
Added new fuel and she ran all day, the wee sweetie! 😊
Your restoration video was awesome! I never knew there were fake restorers out there. I guess the first clue was they just happened to have someone filming their "hunt" for something to restore. Keep up the good work!
*If millions of people can watch a 3+ hour Titanic movie, we can definitely watch a measly little 1 1/2-hour video with your entertaining, educational, and valued content. Keep in mind that when the video is as good as yours, it will never feel like a 1 1/2-hour video; it will feel more like a 15-minute video, leaving us wanting more.*
this one was kinda fun. as a retired german car mechanic i play with small engines for a small side hustle. i want to say you,steve and donny are great sources. other tubers might spend way too much time on what should be way too obvious. i mean fresh gas and clean carb is mechanic 101. give me a break. good work. keep em coming.
Love your "intuitive feel" for what's coming - obviously based on lots of experience. Go girl, keep at educating us.
There are those who love your long videos just to see you! Then there are those who appreciate your presentation and knowledge. Keep up the good work.
These videos are insulting to everyone's intelligence and precisely why I follow Chickanic!! Thanks for the great content!
People in those countries don't want people to know how to fix things themselves since that would take away their business. They intentionally do things wrong so that DIYrs will fail at repairs and come to them. They know what they're doing and they fix the stuff correctly before sale but they don't want others to know how its done correctly.
Its a common strategy for preventing competition. We in the west really don't understand how odd we are to the rest of the world for sharing accurate and honest information about our skills.
Bri, This is crazy how so many people do this stuff. Thank you for the video showing the scammers. Its about time the world knows about them. I think you've inspired me to make a video series, restoring a kioritz Echo. Keep up the great work.
I have considered doing some parody videos of some of the fake stuff. Electronic and diy welder videos are ridiculous.
My impression is that you can build anything with a crescent wrench, sheet metal shears, soldering iron, hot glue gun, 9v battery and zip ties.
You do an excellent job with your content of real life experiences.
Being a two stroke fan brought me to your channel but your professionalism and presentation keeps me watching.
Thank you
Enjoy the videos. Was delighted to see a VW in the background at the end of video! I guess I missed that in the restoration video. Had a 68 bug years ago and wish I would have kept it.
Thanks for the video. Sad that you had to take the time to put it out. Anyone that has been following you should know the difference but like my grandfather used to say "you can't fix stupid". Kudos to you. You provide good down to earth instruction and guidance and on top of that you do it for free helping people like me that can't afford pricey shops that do not tell you any thing. Thank you again. A Canadian Fan.
They don't try to fix it, just making an attempt to keep it on life support??
Girl you rock! Enjoy your videos and I did miss your voice in the last video. You make my day learning your techniques in small engine repairs and reviews. Wish I live in your neck of the woods for my small engine work 👍👍❤
Only watch your channel, learn alot on small engines, thank you for being a good teacher,everything I have runs perfect,4 chain saws 2 weedeaters,2 push mowers 1 zero turn,and 1 lawn tractor,so I have a few,thank again,and those FAKE videos are very funny those people making you think that they actually restore those old beat-up chainsaws,thank you for pointing that out.
Good video. I love to watch your video's. What I like best about them is hearing to talk thru them. Keep up the good work.
40 years ago, while interviewing for a small engin shop mechanic, we set up a saw indical to your grandfather's saw with 5 defects and asked the candidates why doesn't this saw cut wood. I was astounded how many people missed the fact that the chain was backward . This was especially concerning when the job title said chainsaw experience required .
A customer brought a bare chain into my shop for sharpening, picked it up Friday. Monday he’s back, chainsaw in hand, reaming my axe out about my complete lack of skill in sharpening. I took the saw, asked him to follow me to the bench, while I turned the chain around on the bar. Sliced a couple of wafers from my test log and handed it back to him without a word. He slinked off like a beaten mutt, saying nothing. Never saw him again. Don’t need “customers” like that anyway.
I don't care if the video is longer as long as it has the same entertainment & educational value as your regular videos. I would watch an 1+ long video no issues.
Pretty hilarious and excellent upload! Thanks for all you do keeping us entertained and educated as well!
You saved my *** can’t remember the title but it was the one that you showed how to clean the carbon out of the screen in my blower..THANKS a million……
Great video. Don't worry about the length of your . would rather listen to someone who knows what they are talking about for 2hrs then watching a fake video
Keep up the go work.
Hand Tool Rescue is one of the legitimate machinery restorers because he actually gets them running by the end of the video or multiple videos if it's a big project.
I Loved This. Funny and a blast to watch. Thank You.
You have a great sense of humor. Thanks for the laughs.
That's too funny. Honestly, I have never seen any of those bogus videos because I know the real deal when I see Bre repairing the equipment. Thank you, Bre. ❤
This needed to be done for sure there are definitely some true mechanics out there and this is one.
Another great video....new here and that is now 2 in a row! Keep on rocking!
Glad I'm not the only one who has noticed this pattern with restoration videos. LOL
I have been running my echo cs-590 for 8 years. I have learned a lot from you. I know it is a lot of work for you to edit these videos, but people like me appreciate you! Thanks! I would buy from you if I were closer to you. I am in Georgia.
i, for one, like your longer videos because you take the time to cover the finer details of what is needed to get things fixed. you have helped me get a few things done that i was not sure i should attempted. not to mention you look a lot better than any of the guys i have seen. your grandpas old chainsaw video was great. i think it is the first time i ever saw you do a restoration on anything up to and including paint. it looked great when you were done. keep making vids.
Love your videos - learning a lot. Thanks from Northern Ireland
Enjoyed it as always I watch all your videos I don't comment every time but I read some of the comments and like them you are the best thanks for sharing 🌹
Love your content, got a Husky chainsaw running again thanks to your channel. Thank you!
Bre, In the aviation world this kind of restoration is called a Krylon overhaul. You clean it up and spray paint it to look pretty. By the way, I stopped in to meet Chickanic at her shop and she was very friendly and kind. I even got some Chickanic stickers! She is the best.
LOL do you know how many Piper Cubs I look in the nooks and crannies and see absolute trash and dust and dirt that's 70yo?
Some folks have an odd way to use the phrase restoration
I've seen so many of these type of videos over the years, they always crack me up and the bad acting is always good for a laugh!
That's pretty good! Don't they know most people can see through the fakeness? This is got me laughing out loud! I appreciate your actual restoration of your saw!
You have integrity, that's why you are respected so much.
I had a Poulan chainsaw and I’m surprised it didn’t end up stuck in a tree as many times as I got angry and threw it across the yard.
Thanks! Learned a lot got great tips here to keep my small engines going. Also learned which way the chain goes.
Well done . Thank you. Plenty of bogus aftermarket add on installation videos as well . Some videos give false info intended to cause damage if duplicated .
I have a good saw… I’ll just walk around looking for money instead..😂
A great video. Someone that has been working at what you do for years! well you get pretty dam good and what you do. My last 10 years doing the same job before retiring.
I watch on youtube operators doing the same job and yes you can see right through some
of their videos. I enjoy what you post thank you.
New sub really impressed with your channel you keep it real not only do you show repairs but show mistakes made and how not to make them
I've seen those fake videos and it's mostly people from other countries watching them! But I have to say a few times in the past as in 25 years ago I welded up holes in top of pistons on old snowmobiles and run them for years with no issues! So now your restoration vid on a 75 dollar saw makes sense lol. Good stuff as always!
3rd worlders don't like it when people fix things for free. They want business from their community and thus lie to people in their communities about how things are fixed so that people will have to rely on them. Its depressing since that's one of the things that contributes to those countries being so poor. However, they still want customers so at least we don't have to worry about surgeons making videos where they incorrectly do surgery.
Bre puts out a comedy video. I love it! Chickanic multi-tasking at it's best!! Laughed through most of that one.
That was hilarious, and what's with all the red paint jobs😅. Love your channel, tip's, trick's and masterful knowledge and repair skills. 👏👏👏👍✌️🇨🇦
I hope you know your videos are in a different league, your enjoyable to watch very informative and calm, no bravado or macho moves, I watch your videos more than TV itself, so you just keep on keepin on.
Now I’m going to have to restore my poulan super 25 vintage 70’s edition, it’s been on a shelf for a while and after watching your channel this year I think I can get it back to life!
Another video so helpful. Deeply appreciated!!
Wow! Same as the fake animal rescue videos, just without the abuse 🐈
Well, abusing live creatures (ignoring the viewers) anyway.
They probably destroy perfectly fine chainsaws 😡
@@wayneswonderarium Doubt it. Things like that that are sold on the international market are way more expensive in 3rd world countries due to PPP. 1 USD may buy a lot of food there but it has the same - or less - purchasing power for things that are sold on the international market. Those name-brand saws were well used and they probably did fix them properly afterwards.
In those countries, professionals don't want to share the secrets of their trade. One way is to be secretive about things and another way is to lie to the audience so that if other people in their community try to fix things themselves, they'll never get it right. Its a common tactic in 3rd world countries and one of the reasons why they're so poor.
@@ryelor123 It's not much different in Europe, either. I exclusively buy cars from the Volkswagen group, because the shared hive knowledge on the internet about the cars is much better than other brands. I tried to help my neighbour with his BMW, and it was soon clear that knowledge about them is worth real money and kept in closed circles. All forum threads about his problem ended in one of three disappointing ways: crickets, the shop fixed it, I sold the car with the problem unsolved
There are soooo many of those. It's sickening to them undermine the real ones.
I’ve never seen one of those videos. Now I’m super glad I didn’t! Thanks for keeping it real Bre! Have a great week!
This is my first time coming across your videos but I absolutely love you! Subscribed ✅🤗👍🏻
That’s awesome calling these guys out. I was just taking to my father about the other frustrating thing on YT.. I look up a “how to do _____” vid and click on one with a decent number of views and it turns out to be a schmuck stumbling through his first attempt at said job. Waste of my time. Stay awesome.
Who are all these people using chainsaws while wearing flip flops
Another great video Bre. I consider a lot of those rusty restorations as 'Bait and Switch' Videos. They show how they take apart a rusty item then in the end show you a replica item that is painted the same color and make you believe that is the same saw!!Those of us mechanically inclined know that a scored piston and cylinder put back together is NOT going to run!! Keep up the great work!!
P.S. Still looking for a carb for a Husky BT125 Backpack blower
I watched a couple of these early on and picked up on the fake crap. I'm glad you made this video, it's tells it like it is. Thank you.
You gave me a good laugh this morning. Thanks!
Ok for real. True story. I went down to the titanic site with a mini sub I made from a 55 gal barrel, a sheet of plexiglass and 3/4” pvc pipe, oh and some JB weld. Anywho, I found a Husqvarna chainsaw (early model) that was completely covered in ocean stuff. I flush it out, added some gas and it cranked before I could completely pull the cord. True story 😉
@grumpyoldvet2304....Wow...that is amazing that you found a Husqvarna chainsaw down there. But...I hope you brought it up to the surface very slowly so it wouldn't get the "bends"...lol..!!
Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that they were using chainsaws in 1912. Cool.
@@Bellboy40 for sure. For real. If you do a search on the Google they actually found a Homelite in one of those Egyptian pyramids. Sho nuff.
I will have to say I just skimmed though the restoration video.. due to the fact your other trouble shooting videos are more educational.. way to go teach!!! Keep up the good work
I love it.😂 That's an excellent shop you have there at the end
You Granpa is looking down n feeling proud of you !! great video : )
It's important to be cautious when watching such content online and not fall for deceptive practices. Kudos to the creator for shedding light on these scams and providing viewers with an authentic perspective.
I’ve never seen a “restoration” video - at least for chain saws. With your intelligence and integrity, I don’t feel I’ve missed anything - though not seeing them I’m sure is dumb luck. Keep up the good work.
Its professionals in foreign countries who don't want do-it-yourselfers to fix things. They're only honest about repairs when its something that's no-skill(like cleaning) or when it requires machinery(like engine boring). However, when it comes to critical assembly stuff, they always make "unintentional" mistakes that would render the entire repair pointless at best.
Professionals in those countries want business and they don't want their customers knowing how to fix things correctly. In fact, they want to punish customers who try. This is one reason why they insist on putting the chains on backwards or re-using burned up pistons/cylinders.
Thanks, I loved the other video just as much as this one. Good job.
As a homeowner who has actually tried to cut with the chain installed backwards you can guess which sections were my favorites.
I watch you're videos, because you show things being fixed in a step by step manner.
Love this and all your uploads, keep up the great work
She’s the Best !
You did a nice job on your Grandpa's saw and im glad you didn't operate it wearing sandals, sigh
Thanks for showing this to us Bree
Love your Videos keep up the HONEST & Hard work
Awesome, Bre! You got 'em! There are so many youtoob scammers out there. What do they get from their fakes?
Anyway, love your videos, and as always, BEST to you!! ❤❤
It's now apparently common for watches as well. Which is even more unbelievable, as a corroded watch has so little metal to start and no chance of working with the corroded parts.
Greetings from Finland! I fixed similar Poulan that i got for free. Just cleaned the gastank, carb and installed new fuel line. Only the tuning of the thing was little weard because the cover over carb didn't have any holes, but i got it working still.👌 Strong little saw.
If you made a week long video, I'd watch it, because I learn so much about small engine repair from you. I might have to pause it to have meals and sleep, but I'd watch it...
Love your videos. I learn a lot from them. Those fake videos play on the stupidity of people. No way you are going to make rusty iron and pitted aluminum look "new" .They are an insult to my intelligence. Also the guy that found the saw in the tree is, I think, the same person that is in many other questionable DIY videos on YT.
I thought I was filing my chain wrong until my father-in-law showed me I had the chain on backwards.
I still suck at sharpening, but the chain is going the right way!
Love it! I wondered what the excitement was for it idling
I never noticed, however they are entertaining. Great video as usual.
It's about time someone with as much knowledge as you busted these fakes...it's not a new thing but calling them out is nice.
I think they are doing it for humor. I can't believe for a second that he somehow found muddy pieces in trees(did it fall out of the mud, into the tree?) and cleaned the bar so well that the rust turned into paint.
I love this video. I had a good laugh. Keep doing an awesome job.
what about you totally flumaxed by briggs 2hp where you thought recoil freewheel was a broken clutch? and you never retensioned or lubed recoil spring?? and ignored totally reliable points and condenser and cut off good coil?? what about getting crankcase gasket when it was a low hour engine. you forced plastic pickup tube when all you needed was carb loose to clear wheel. you never checked or adjusted valve gap but you lapped valves that makes valve gap tighter. you need to clean valves in a drill, not with a wire head in drill. you have clearly copied what you have seen people do but don't actually understand engineering.
We knew the rewind clutch wasn't broken, but a new one was much faster. Points and condenser? Really? The electronic coils are much more available and reliable. The fuel tube has to be forcefully pushed into the pickup. The "gap" is called "lash" and was checked. Valves need to be lapped about every 200-300 hours, check your owners manual. We were at home not at the shop, so like most people at home who don't own a shop we cleaned the valves with what was available and this works great. This isn't "engineering" its repair, at home away from specialize tools.
Awesome video I really enjoyed it. interesting, comical! 😂
Those fake videos are a right laugh. They find alsorts from motorbikes to kitchen equipment to iPhones lol. As you said most know they are faking it and say so but some don’t
That was awesome. Well done.
Your reaction video is very entertaining. Thanks!
seeing the chain on backwards with a comment from you "see I even put the chain on backwards to make it authentic" would have been priceless.
Must say I prefer the videos you talk in :) another top video! thankyou!
This is great, calling out the BS, I love it! I'm a pro OPE tech myself, these vids from these hacks confuse me, because I don't know whether to laugh, or swear aloud at the screen, lol!
Very cool. I enjoyed to spend time watching YOUR Video!
These fake repairs you exposed were funny because of their absurdity. But only once.
Loved it! Thank you.
Glad you explained your rebuild video.
Great Video along with the restoration video too.
Love your videos! You could have done a short segment on what you did to your grandfather's saw to bring it back from the scrap heap.
Great video Miss. Bre you rock.
