my mom actually used a car cane for years. It did in fact make getting in and out of a car worlds easier and I think it is a genuinely valuable product for people with limited mobility
Car Cane: My mother-in-law was partially paralyzed and used a solid metal version of this product to get out of the car…. It really did help. Older people rarely get out of cars one foot at a time; they typically rotate themselves to plant both feet on the ground before pulling themselves out of the vehicle, and the all metal version of this product really did wonders for her independence during this task. Sure we had to stand there forever but people of that age want nothing more than to feel like they can do things on their own. So, this product is worth the cost for nothing more than to allow for the idea of independence for elderly.
@@Lofi.z34 my sister uses I think this exactly this same one and she is about 180 pounds. On the inside is a metal bar so it's a metal 90 degree with the plastic to help with comfort. It holds her up fine and even my 320 pound brother in law tested it with his weight and it was fine.
Assistive tech is awesome and benefits everybody. Even people who may never be "disabled" still break legs or have knee surgery or even just use assistive stuff for convenience. You can get "car canes" that are designed to be stood on, like so you can reach into a luggage rack or whatever. The cane they showed really seemed like a ripoff though
"Older people rarely get out of cars one foot at a time; they typically rotate themselves to plant both feet on the ground before pulling themselves out of the vehicle" If you have a hip replacement (like my dad) you're supposed to get out by turning-- getting out one foot at a time can pop the ball out of the socket!
A little piece of advice. If you’re trapped in a car and need to break the window with that tool do it in the bottom corner closest to you. The spot right above where the little lock thing sticks up out of the door panel. It’ll break on the first click.
So speaking as a medical professional who has reccomended those car canes to a number of patients. They are more useful than you might think. The flashlight and standing "features" aren't really important. However, for elderly folks who have trouble getting out of cars it's very helpful
Yeah I run a few elderly clients to the shops every now and then and I think they'd definitely find that thing useful rather than having to wait for me to come round and give them a hand out of the car
@@johndododoe1411 and there are products specifically designed to make accessing those items easier. The Car Cane isn't designed for the user to stand on; the standing demonstration is about product strength rather than actual product use.
The Car Cane is actually a legitimate product that's used all over the world. Seen them recommended by Occupational Therapists hundreds of times to help people with impaired mobility to retain some of their independence. I think they're really great, just the one that was on the infomercial that you guys bought was obviously a crappy version made for a quick buck.
i really like the concept. i thought they would give it a little more credit, since it was the last one on the list (I was expecting it to be a "save the best for last" kind of thing).
I got one for my dad who has mobility issues and it works well for him. He often rested his hand on that latch loop to get up and it did not look comfortable. Got him one of these (well a generic one without the flashlight) and he loves it. The extra emergency functions are a nice bonus
I work in the medical field, specifically in a retirement home and residents with mobility issues often use it. Very use full for people who can’t move as well. James grabbed the top of the windshield when he got out without it lol
I love this channel and show! I am an Occupational Therapist and I have used it with multiple patients and cars, It does work well. Great for car transfers!
The pacemaker warning on the magnetic armband is legit. My coworker has a pacemaker, and he says he has found himself getting lightheaded and realized he was leaning on a door near its magnetic lock, and that he needs to pay attention to where he’s holding small engines like a weed whacker because the magnetic field they put out can have similar interference effects.
That "UV hardening plastic" works only on clear parts, like glass, clear plastic and that's pretty much it. And for glueing clear parts without leaving easily visible crack it is good

just wanna say that I _always_ love these crazy tool tests. I realize there are a finite amount of wacky-but-plausible tools, but I hope you never run out of stuff to test.
I've watched a couple and it seems I don't want to watch further - they don't try fixing or discussing what's wrong, and they don't try looking at any way it could really be possible to use... The entertainment mostly comes out of yelling.
I’ll be real, actually interested in picking up that car cane for my grandma, from seeing all the people in the comments talking about how it helped them/family, seems like a pretty decent and unique product!
My grandad has Parkinson’s and struggles to get out of cars and he got a UK version of it and it really helped him out a lot would actually recommend it to people who struggle with entering/exiting cars
My first thought when I saw that was how great it would be when pulling stuff apart at my plant. It's fiber cement, everything is wet/dirty/covered in shit and catwalks everywhere so you don't always have good spots to put nuts/bolts/wrenches etc without potentially losing them to the abyss.
I have a wrist band version with loads of magnets, I use it to hold nails and screws when I'm roofing, framing and other jobs with one-and-done fixings, it's bloody great and the biggest bonus is it stops me sticking screws and nails in my mouth to hold them!
@@turbokadett My back would not be hurting as much after a day of screwing in ceiling drywall if I had a magnet thingy like it. The amount of times I had to bend over to grab a bunch of screws completely immobilized me for the next two days.
They make a magnetic tool holder that fits on your wrist that’s actually useful for working on smaller stuff to hold screws etc. PC work, pulling a dash panel on car etc.
I'd rather have magnetic tray tbh. I would probably smack my wrist somewhere and drop few bolts and never find them again. At least I can put the tray somewhere safe.
They also make little magnetic trays that you can stick basically everywhere lol when I'm working on my vehicles I'll use one for sockets and such while the other is for the parts I take off lol
I have a wrench like that Tiger Wrench, I use it for oil changes, specifically for drain plugs. That's the only thing I use it for. It's nice when you don't already know the size you need, I just take that one under the car, and it always works.
So, coming back to this video after I watched it once. In that time i broke a vertebra in my back and healed. But I've got a permanent case of "old man back" in my 20's. And I can tell you right now, having back problems makes the car cane WAY more attractive. It's one of those products that you can't actually test until you have "old man back".
While I was a mechanic at sears we used the craftsman version of the tiger wrench it had a magnet on it. Loved it for oil changes it stuck to the metal oil drain pan. It was actually amazing for that purpose. The made a 6 point metric and sae one saved tons of time if you add it up by the end of the week
I just made almost the same comment. The old versions with the magnet (and SAE, or metric) are great for oil changes when you are jumping from vehicle to vehicle.
I just wanna point out the UV activated glue/plastic DOES work quite well in certain applications. I've used it a lot with excellent results. However, I bought a small UV flashlight for the curing, as its alit stronger than he supplied one. Still using those items to this day.
I assembled steel buildings for nearly 40 years and truthfully the bone wrench can be pretty handy to keep in your tool pouch. Not the most practical thing, but when you're going up a ladder and don't know what size a fastener is, it's better than carrying 6 or 7 wrenches just to find out you still don't have the right one.
Another good reason for it would be like on a tractor in a field or on a boat or something where you may need tools in a pinch and don’t want a whole toolbox to lug around.
@@OptionalZero As someone in my mid 20s with back issues due to an illness, it can happen WAY sooner than you think. All it takes is one awkward injury or an illness like mine and you're basically out of commission
The dog bone wrench you first shown is actually a great tool for farmers that might break down in the field or an emergency situation on the side of the highway. I have used them often. Some have a magnet so you can set it not worry about it rolling off. Not for everyday use, for sure.
I bought one off the snap-on truck 20+ years ago. I only use it for oil drain plugs, as it was marketed for, but it works great. It also has a magnet on it so it sticks to the oil drain tank so you're never looking for it. I could see having one in a vehicle as an emergency tool as well.
Same, as a mechanic I always kept one on the oil cart just easier to have something ready to go for 90% of vehicles, paired with a strap canister remover I almost never had to make a trip to the box.
I’d say all the stuff in this video (or at least the ideas behind them) could be legitimately useful to some people. The wrench would be useful if you were working away from a tool box. The UV cured glue is a legitimate thing…some of the fillings in my mouth were done/covered with a UV cured epoxy. My 2 elderly parents could use something like the car cane, I’m just too concerned about damaging or scratching the paint in my car to get one. Lots of things like the seat belt cutter/window breaker already exist… The problem with the specific products you showed is that infomercials generally take good ideas and ruin them by building them way, way too cheaply.
That 48- in one wrench can be very useful! I work as a automotive tech, and for some drain plugs where the previous person didn’t get some 7 foot tall, four hundred pound guy named “big country” to tighten the drain plug it can save a few seconds running back to the box to grab a socket. Pick up a 6 point one though, not a spline. Will slip much harder.
Oh please. You're just makin' stuff up. It's physically impossible for anyone but that 7 foot tall "big country" fella to install a drain plug while his pal bubba is making sure the lug nuts are good an tight.
The seatbelt cutter with window smasher is useful. But just be careful because I've had a few of them rust up. After they got rusty, the window breaking tool could get jammed, without firing.
how many times in your life have you been in a situation where you need to cut your seat belt and bust the window? Why do you have so many that they're rusting up? So many questions.
@@CRneu Preparedness. You don't keep buying these things because you keep getting into accidents, you buy these things because perhaps you live near lakes or easily flooded areas. If you would rather have one, keep it maintained. The last thing you want is ending up in a situation where you need to rely on these things and find out it isn't working. It's like maintaining smoke alarms. People almost never actually need them, but the one time you don't have one that works could be the difference between you walking away unscathed or ending up dead. Frankly though I wonder if a few drops of plastic safe anti-rust grease could be dropped in there to prevent rust damage in the first place.
Oil it if you want to prevent rust or get a different version of this tool. This one is convenient but get one with a big handle and non spring loaded glass breaker. I found out they're called rescue hammers.
The tiger wrench thing is actually really useful as an actual mechanic since we do oil changes on various cars with various sized drain bolts. That one wrench is usually all we need.
The tiger tool actually replaces 49 different tools. Forgot to include replacing bricks for when I get absolutely sick of it and I check it through a window
I mean I got one that I keep in my truck it’s never the right tool but it’s definitely came in handy a bunch I would never grab it if I had the right tool but I mean it’s definitely very handy
As an EMT of 20 years I always had a ResQme attached to my equipment belt. Always aim for where the glass has the least flex, such as the bottom corner closest to the B pillar.
@@no_peace that’s not their fault. That’s a terrible gift. Also lazy as hell to give everyone the same thing. Can’t fault them for discarding it or just losing it.
I use the magnetic armband, and it is very useful. Mine is sized for forearm though, and is meant to use screws, nails and an occasional socket or drillbit - not freaking hammers and 25lbs weights.
I use magnetic wrist bands all the time when working with fasteners. That’s the best use for it, not putting heavy tools on it. That’s what tool belts are for. There’s actually a magnetic vest that my electrician friends use , and those can hold much more weight, but they are like $200 so I don’t have one.
car cane has got a point. Imagine if it was implemented into a luxury car in a luxurious way, it would make getting out of them easier. a stick that pops out when you open the door of your supercar would be useful imo
Yea like padded hook so I can't scratch paint solid handle and and maybe just make it the handle on the car umbrella some luxury cars have matching paint and whatnot it could be a good idea
Yeah and then your light won’t shut down cause those things are designed to tell the car when the door is shut. It’s broken on my e46 and it drains the battery. Was just random I discovered it.
I agree with you. My parents bought one because my late step-mom had mobility issues, it worked well enough for them. I know my dad said they missed it when they had gone on a trip without it and talked about getting a second one, which I don't think they did before she passed away.
3:17 I'll take that! I drive a sh*tbox that's constantly falling apart. You imagine how much effort this would save me taking an entire socket set into the junkyard to pull parts? Or how useful it would be as part of my emergency toolkit, which currently includes a Pittsburgh socket set. Could save a lot of space, and possibly weight! It's definitely not going to help like the advertisement made it seem, but it could be very useful to a more niche market!
The magnetic band is super useful in construction. Sometimes I have to install lights on the side of a building, so having the screws somewhere super accessible makes it faster and adds a sort of sense of safety since im not rummaging through a pouch or pockets
i could totes seeing it be useful for drywalling. no sharp screws in a random pocket; can grab em while using that arm to hold up the sheet. i have one that ive literally never used. will now for that application tho.
Yeah, holding big tools like hammers with it is not its strength. It’s a lot better suited to holding small parts, maybe occasionally a small wrench or two. In the right situation it’s amazing.
Anything you would even _consider_ holding in your mouth to free up a hand is probably a good candidate, although you do have to worry about the magnets themselves being hazardous to some equipment, and also to any kid unfortunate enough to swallow TWO of them and have them stick together from different parts of the gut.
I have the wrist version and that’s exactly what I use it for. Lights, ceiling fans, etc. in addition to the screws, it’s great for holding impact bits if you have to switch back and forth on a project.
The tiger wrench is an "ok" tool for use in lube shops. Untrained lube techs save minutes with these hanging on the used oil receptacles. They're pretty useless otherwise.
@@946towguy2 going to guess by your name you run a tow truck? I could see that helping in that as it would save the weight and storage space. Makes sense!
@@TwoTenTwice You know all those situations where you need to hold one end of a nut-bolt combination and both sides need the same size wrench? An adjustable wrench tends to round off corners. It also toggles and flips for those situations where you don't have a right angle or need to wrench something on or off fast like an oil drain plug, drive shaft bolts, unistrut, many bolts and nuts on trailers, lag bolts, etc. Also, the magnetic armband and a magnetuc parts tray are life savers when you are working under a truck or in an otherwise awkward position. The UV resin works on clear or translucent, especially ceramics such as windshields and is similar to what is used by the dentist.
Ok, so my dad has something similar to the car cane, but is full metal and a rubber grip. No light or flimsy material like that. He had a stroke and he can't get in or out of the car easily. That thing actually helps me get him in and out of the car.
There's a really useful invention called pockets. Never had issues holding screws/nails/etc with "all new pockets" and I've been using them for 50 years.
@@Shirokuma15 you're gonna laugh, but I actually strap the magnetic thing to my utility belt xD Actually, I might sew some magnets in the belt itself, cuz it's really nice not having to reach in a pocket and impale your fingers on those 4x50 screws ;)
The magnetic arm band is quite useful for holding screws, nails, sockets or small tools when you are on ladders or places of that kind, the only difference is that I use a version that attaches to the forearm not the arm
The rescue me tool works perfectly. You do have to firmly press and hold the tool so it can't bounce and the force is delivered to the window, also, they said to do it near a corner. Love these tool and car products videos. Keep them coming.
@@goatmaster3387 Learned this the hard way on an extrication. A late teens Chevy Equinox. A half dozen tries with this tool, and a few good Halligan tool whacks, we had to go reciprocating saw. Apparently it has to do with occupant restraint standards. If they "forget" to belt themselves it, they won't be at as great a risk of being ejected. Luxury cars have been using laminated glass to lower cabin sound levels for over twenty years now.
I have a "car cane" like device made by someone else. It's just the assist handle with no lights, etc. It's solid steal and works great. Super handy when you're actually disabled and not some healthy dude screwin around. I made my first one with a piece of rebar. I also have a much more substantial belt cutter/window breaker. A buddy, who's a cop used it once, and now all the cops have one. The magnetic armband is good for holding nails, but that's about it. I used it Once while on a ladder. Threw it away after a year of not using it.
the arm band is super handy. i use one on my wrist when i glass engrave. its more of a "here hold this real quick" than some0lace to keep multiple tools. i recommend them, if they are at a good price, and if you carve, engrave or use multiple dremel or the like style of burs and bits-this is a highly recommended item.
I don't have the same one that they got but I have the whole magnetic armband. Works wonders for when I'm disassembling something (like removing bolts off my cars front bumber) and just need to keep the bolts from rolling away and into the void.
My GF gave me one and I never thought I would use an it. It's actually came in handy a few times building different things. Holds screws instead of having to go get more.
My mom made one for herself like 40 years ago. Basically a fabric sleeve with magnet tape sewn inside and Velcro to secure it. She also made a wrist strap pin cushion too. She used them for crafting. Pins, needles, screws, brads.
5:08 this product looks similar to RapidFix UV, a product I've been using for years and highly recommend. Also apparently there's another one branded JB Weld that I've used recently at work. And yeah, you have basically nailed its major weakness :) However, in situations where you *can* hit the whole joint with the light, it's very useful! I use it for sticking down wires to circuit boards, and bonding wires together for strain relief. It hardens all the way through in seconds with a strong enough UV source, and if you need to remove it it peels off without damaging the surfaces it adhered to. Also the UV light it comes with is wimpy. If you get a stronger one it becomes much more useful.
We had one of these at home for a while, and it works just fine for lightweight plastic repairs. Think it's a variation of a product dentists use. The arm thing isn't unreasonable either -- sounds like the seller makes unreasonable claims, but c'mon no one is trying to carry a hammer that way. And the car thing just flat-out worked. Still a good concept and a fun video.
When I was a premise technician I used a tool belt pouch similar to it that had a huge magenet on the outside which was really convenient for renches, screws etc not quite like the arm thing it sat like a normal puch had a big open mouth, a couple loops for screw drivers but small renches and screws and such conveniently stucj to the side which was convenient for installing jacks and such because you open the packet slap the screws to the magnet and can hold the screw driver their too
I use a magnet like that on my forearm for small bolts, nuts, and crap. I use magnetic bowls when I work on the cars for the same thing. Tools go on a belt, definitely the best place for them. In my case.
As someone still in the biz, this tool is great till you get into a newer car with laminated glass. Learned this the hard way on an extrication. A late teens Chevy Equinox. A half dozen tries with this tool, and a few good Halligan tool whacks, we had to go reciprocating saw. Apparently it has to do with occupant restraint standards. If they "forget" to belt themselves it, they won't be at as great a risk of being ejected. Luxury cars have been using laminated glass to lower cabin sound levels for over twenty years now.
I have two emergency hammers in my car, like those that are required for public transport, but with an added belt cutter. I got them after I saw a test on what happens when a car goes into a small pond or something like this and the electronics go haywire (in that TV show the lights and the windshield whipers came on all of a sudden, so there is a not so slim chance that the electric locks might just lock the car). Those hammers are really cheap on ebay, and even if I obviously hope that I'll never have to use them, it's better to have them and never need them than to not have them when I need them. My concern with the Rescue-Me thing is that the belt cutter blade will get dull relatively fast if it's actually used as a keychain.
I think the Car Cane is a good idea, it just was not well executed. And the Band-It could be really useful in the right circumstances, specifically when you need to carry a lot of small, lightweight things up and down a ladder. I could see someone using it for roofing nails, for example.
That thing worked great for my 85 year old grandmother, of course it isn't going to be useful for non disabled people, it's advertised for elderly or disabled people. It lasted fine with use a few times a week for like 7 years for me.
Yeah, I've seen much better versions where the entire handle was a moulded plastic. It didn't have removable grips or presumably battery covers (no built-in torch) and was a much better product. They're recommended by OTs all the time and they are super helpful.
@@farmersgrip I'm not a professional roofer, but as I'm going to be a homeowner as of tomorrow, I can see that it might be necessary for me to make an occasional roof repair. Not gonna buy a tool belt that I'll only use once, and the Band-It looks like something that may come in handy in more than one scenario.
That "Laser Bond" does work, but it is meant for fairly delicate repairs, and it takes some work with the UV light to get it "cured". Those ads are a bit optimistic...
I ended up with one of those 48 in one's. For free it's not a bad addition for the tool box for the few scenarios you need to hold a bolt head at a diagonal so you can tighten a nut. Not often do I need it, but it has its moments
The uv glue is mostly good for gluing glass to glass or glass to metal or transparent stuff. yes it does not really work on things that dont let light through, and the good thing is, the glue also cures in normal sunlight, so it gets stronger too. i fixed a view glass things with similar glues and they hold up fine. love your show and all the infos you spread, i allready could learn a view new things from you. go on guys, keep it funny 🙂
We use the UV glue in my IT shop. The nice thing is that it does not stick to most metals so you can rebuild stand offs and use the original screw as the mold. Sure it isn't as strong as the original standoff but it is better than nothing.
I got the first tool as a joke because I always grab the wrong wrench/socket and have to go back to my toolbox. It was surprisingly quite handy for the basic maintenance that I do, I don't recommend it for well seasoned mechanics but for the person who does oil changes, brakes, and belt accessories it's quite useful.
I'm a shade tree mechanic and I have two of the Tiger Wrenches and use them a lot. I keep one in my truck tool box and one in my garage tool box. It has worked out very nice for many jobs. And its well made too. I've abused it a lot.
The tiger wrench in opposite is quite useful if you are working on easily accessible parts - my dad had a tool that was basically the same but with the most common hex keys for a bicycle. That thing saved weight and space on a bike tour.
I a wrench similar to the tiger wrench that I bring when I dont want to lug around a toolbox. Other than that I stick to my wrench and socket sets for rigidity
I've used the laser bond and for a few things, very few, it worked great. I think I got it at Lowes and I actually went back and got more a couple weeks later.
True, the infomercial is misleading - you need to be really careful not to put it too much, and put it under strong uv for far longer time to cure. And it wouldn't hold big things under strains. It's for small dents, filling holes, or remaking bulges that wear or fell off. If only someone would sell the professional tooth dental composite filler, that thing is incredible.
I have one of those magnetic straps for my wrist, and it's freaking awesome for holding nails, screws, bolts, etc. Especially if you're working on a ladder or under a car. I think the bicep version is . . . kinda stupid.
The magnetic arm band is handy for holding screws/nails that’s about it. But I really like it for that one purpose rather than filling my pockets with screws or wearing an apron/Fanny pack.
@ Doughnut, I have been doing industrial manufacturing maintenance for 12 years and had good luck with the JB weld UV bonding glue on small brass meetering valve pin/ jets. Comparable to a needle jet from a motorcycle carburetor. I’d love to see if you had the same results. Keep crushing the videos! Jeff from north western Pennsylvania
2 part epoxies and uv cured resins do work. superglue works also in right application. for attaching abs to abs though some abs-acetone slurry works wonders.
I saw one of those magnetic tool holders, but it was for the wrist. To hold small screws and screw driver bits. Would be much better when working on small jobs.
I was given the smaller wrist one at Christmas as a stocking stuffer. I have used it a few times just to try it and it works as advertised if you stick to smaller things like nuts and bolts. It definitely isn’t as revolutionary as the commercials make it seem.
I have one of those magnetic wrist bands and it does work pretty well. I used it for holding nails and screws while assembling a bookshelf and a dresser. Since I was constantly moving around the room, it really did help without getting in my way.
Damn I had such high hopes for that uv light glue thing.... They've been selling on them on TV for decades, you wouldn't think they could sell something that doesn't work for so long. But there you go, it doesn't and they could.
Actually they do work extremely well. They were just using it incorrectly. Anyone that has actually used one knows they're fantastic when used correctly. Ask Adam Savage.
I've got a different type of Tool Band-it, goes on your wrist rather than upper arm. It's actually really nice for screws and nails to keep them handy. I've never tried it for anything else though
The rescue me tool actually works great. It's one of the recommended rescue tools. You have to firmly press near the corner of a window. Also, it has one of the only working seat belt cutters when tested againt others.
This tool is great till you get into a newer car with laminated glass. Learned this the hard way on an extrication. A late teens Chevy Equinox.

I would be so uneasy with that Tool band-it, I would have to count the things on it every 5 seconds! What if you're working on an engine or something and you drop one in? I agree fellas TRASH IT!!
when they talked about working under the car, I keep imagining getting my stuck on the exhaust or something. lmao or at 7:02 - they don't have one, but you could definitely lean against a hood.
Car cane is worth it. My mom was in an accident and after had a hard time getting in and out of a car. Got this for her and it definitely helped her. It's like a rail in a handicap stall. If you don't need it, it's easier to not use it. But if need it, it's a huge help.
The resq-me is actually pretty awesome when it comes to breaking windows, especially underwater compared to something you have to swing and strike with. Use it on the corner of the window to keep your arm from going through and getting cut up. I keep one on my duty belt at work and have used it at least a dozen times.
I bought 5 of those rescue me (seatbelt cutter glads breaker) tools on the geek app about 6 years ago. Gave them out to my close ppl . Goes everywhere with me. Except courtrooms lol.
I think the magnet thing is probably useful enough for holding parts...if you lower it to your wrist...keep in mind, there are places out there that have wrist versions and market it just for that.
Well, I think the one test you failed in was the seatbelt cutter. It came off quick enough from the key ring. But you didn’t take into account that in the event of a collision or “landing in a river” (unless you’re just driving very slowly into said body of water), the seatbelt will lock. Therefore providing the tension on the seatbelt necessary to cut it quickly.
Disagree, I mean sure the seatbelt would probably be tense but the product did well enough either way and they still gave it a pass. I’d agree if they failed it for missing their arbitrary 10 second goal but they didn’t. Plus it’s probably best to test in a worse case scenario when the belt doesn’t lock ya know
Isn't it standard? Bikes are metric. Plus, it would be useless on a bike. There wouldn't be room to fit on anything if it could and bikes don't use hex bolts anyway.
Believe it or not that dogbone wrench was AWESOME for doing oil changes when I worked at a shop, just left it in the drain pan and always had the right size for a drain plug
The arm magnet band could be actually useful. For something like solar installs, I can't lug my toolbox with me on a ladder, I definitely could use this, but the danger that it falls on someone's head is too big. It would also need stronger magnets
Recently discovered this channel, and it has been my favorite thing to watch. Every series has a food reason to watch, whether funny or informative. Love this channel
Even though the tool band-it didn't perform as claimed I still think it'd be good to carry nails and screws around. If you think about it you hardly ever need just one screw and you don't want to have to keep running back and forth to get more, and you definitely don't want to put them in your pocket where they can just stab through it.
I dont have the tiger wrench but harbor freight sells a generic one which has come in handy quite a few times. Dont use it to spin the bolt, use it to capture and hold the nut while you use a regular ratchet to do the work and tighten. The design allows the bolt to pass through as you tighten the nut. Very useful when assembling things and came in clutch when putting the bed cover on my truck and other jobs like that.
Yeah, actually it work for really small repairs, and is good for filling some dents, one even might construct some small notch that fall off, but it all have to be accessible to UV light, and plenty of it to cure. Sunlight is a good, these uv led lights are usually too weak so you'd have to light it for about 15 minutes to be sure.
who can't hold their breath for more than 13 sec? 10 sec is an unrealistic goal. 13 sec means you're still alive. and when cars go into water it takes several sec, and possibly minutes for it to fill with water, giving the occupants plenty of time to escape using this tool. just my opinion though.
Actually, I've found the magnet arm band thingy to have "some" use once you get use to it. Not horrible for small fasteners when you're under the junk in the gravel. The fart car exit thingy .. As much as it may be total junk as manufactured .. I modify vehicles for the differently abled, and you may be surprised at how much ten to hundred thousand dollar options are also junk. There are many flavors and subtleties to disabilities. Aside from the actual engineering .. part of my job is also to work with a client to see what 'else' works, and hack/fabricate it if i can .. I would absolutely NOT discount this as being a viable option, or accessory - as much as I'm surprised to say as much. I can absolutely see this as a useful assist device for certain spinal injury clients. it's easy to dismiss this, us being so called 'able bodied' (Even if we grunt and groan getting into our Crown Vics and wheeze while doing our shoe laces).. one of my client's vehicle ingress/egress is facilitated by a shitty nylon strap through the door frame, which requires rolling the window down and looping it every time. So i know what that wee bit of extra stability means to (for example) a transfer seat client. I would have absolutely had one of these in the fit shop if i had known about them. I'm frankly surprised that Bruan and Adapt don't sell them for $600. Although I can't speak to the build quality of the thing you tested .. this is not a product idea to be dismissed. It has definite merit. Not to endorse the company - but when you have a busted leg in the bush .. that crooked stick suddenly looks awesome. I think you have this one 100 percent wrong. I will be looking further into this and probably recommending it in the future where it may be applicable. Not to shit on you .. I love this channel - i troll occasionally like every bench racer. But here we be you sons-of-bitches full of late twenties piss and vinegar strutting about on two functional legs.. and I myself 55 and still do a daily four miles with my idiot 14 month old German Shepherd. But sometimes we don't, we can't - because we tossed a rod through the block and suddenly need wifey to help us take a shit. You have thoroughly missed an entire demographic in this review.
My dad and late step mom bought one for their car and it was a big help for her (and him by him not having to help her in and out of the car all the time) to use the Car Cane. I know it may not work in every situation and for every disability, but it apparently is useful for some folks and therefore I agree with your assessment about them being nearly 100% wrong. I did not actually handle the one my parents owned, but judging by this look (I would not call it a "review"), the build quality could be improved, perhaps all aluminum (a shaped aluminum handle can be quite comfortable for short uses as this is intended for) construction would be a starting point.
As someone who couldn't walk without being at a 70 degree hunch for 2 years I can second the feeling of "I don't care what it looks like so long as it works.". I had a lot of canes and they wouldn't last usually because they would develop a bow or handles would start cracking off. Finally I got a crowbar, a PVC end cap, and a pack of rubber bar stool feet and made me a cane. It looked odd as hell and it was damned loud if I dropped it but it worked better than all the other options I had tried. As for Donut, frankly they are trending towards this sort of habit of shitting on various demographics while usually quietly pushing some agendas. I feel we are slowly seeing the death of a just a fun car channel.
3:20 Awe I love the dog-bone wrench. Grew up on it doing oil changes. It's not going to "Replace 100 tools and cut time in two" or whatever, but it's handy af. 12/12 wrenches in one.
I have actually had good luck with one of those UV curing resin things before But I have only used them really on clear kids toys and lightweight stuff.
I can see the magnet armband being pretty useless in a car garage, but I do finish carpentry and I love mine for when I need to pop screws in and out all day. Great for small parts that you need to stash and grab often, although I wouldn't hang tools from it.
On the tiger wrench, i used to work at an oil change shop and i found it quite handy to keep in my pocket for braking loose oil drain bolts but i couldn't imagine doing any in depth engine work with it
my mom actually used a car cane for years. It did in fact make getting in and out of a car worlds easier and I think it is a genuinely valuable product for people with limited mobility
we used one when my grandma had dementia. it worked good
I would have to agree. It worked well for my dad and he used it all the time.
I've used cocaine does the same job 🤣
Yeah it works just not in every car like the marketing claims
@MOTOHEAD 1021 had a damn good laugh while in the shitter! 😂😂😂😂😂
Car Cane: My mother-in-law was partially paralyzed and used a solid metal version of this product to get out of the car…. It really did help. Older people rarely get out of cars one foot at a time; they typically rotate themselves to plant both feet on the ground before pulling themselves out of the vehicle, and the all metal version of this product really did wonders for her independence during this task. Sure we had to stand there forever but people of that age want nothing more than to feel like they can do things on their own. So, this product is worth the cost for nothing more than to allow for the idea of independence for elderly.
💯
Lmfaooo
@@Lofi.z34 my sister uses I think this exactly this same one and she is about 180 pounds. On the inside is a metal bar so it's a metal 90 degree with the plastic to help with comfort. It holds her up fine and even my 320 pound brother in law tested it with his weight and it was fine.
Assistive tech is awesome and benefits everybody. Even people who may never be "disabled" still break legs or have knee surgery or even just use assistive stuff for convenience. You can get "car canes" that are designed to be stood on, like so you can reach into a luggage rack or whatever. The cane they showed really seemed like a ripoff though
"Older people rarely get out of cars one foot at a time; they typically rotate themselves to plant both feet on the ground before pulling themselves out of the vehicle" If you have a hip replacement (like my dad) you're supposed to get out by turning-- getting out one foot at a time can pop the ball out of the socket!
A little piece of advice. If you’re trapped in a car and need to break the window with that tool do it in the bottom corner closest to you. The spot right above where the little lock thing sticks up out of the door panel. It’ll break on the first click.
So speaking as a medical professional who has reccomended those car canes to a number of patients. They are more useful than you might think. The flashlight and standing "features" aren't really important. However, for elderly folks who have trouble getting out of cars it's very helpful
They need the cane to quickly get out an assess what damage they just caused
Yeah I run a few elderly clients to the shops every now and then and I think they'd definitely find that thing useful rather than having to wait for me to come round and give them a hand out of the car
Standing is useful for able bodied people accessing roof loaded items, such as ladders or furniture.
@@johndododoe1411 and there are products specifically designed to make accessing those items easier.
The Car Cane isn't designed for the user to stand on; the standing demonstration is about product strength rather than actual product use.
Until you bend the door striker and the door stops latching.
The Car Cane is actually a legitimate product that's used all over the world. Seen them recommended by Occupational Therapists hundreds of times to help people with impaired mobility to retain some of their independence. I think they're really great, just the one that was on the infomercial that you guys bought was obviously a crappy version made for a quick buck.
i really like the concept. i thought they would give it a little more credit, since it was the last one on the list (I was expecting it to be a "save the best for last" kind of thing).
I got one for my dad who has mobility issues and it works well for him. He often rested his hand on that latch loop to get up and it did not look comfortable. Got him one of these (well a generic one without the flashlight) and he loves it. The extra emergency functions are a nice bonus
I work in the medical field, specifically in a retirement home and residents with mobility issues often use it. Very use full for people who can’t move as well. James grabbed the top of the windshield when he got out without it lol
Yes, I was hoping someone would mention this. I’m currently in occupational therapy school and my professors recommend it.
I love this channel and show! I am an Occupational Therapist and I have used it with multiple patients and cars, It does work well. Great for car transfers!
The pacemaker warning on the magnetic armband is legit. My coworker has a pacemaker, and he says he has found himself getting lightheaded and realized he was leaning on a door near its magnetic lock, and that he needs to pay attention to where he’s holding small engines like a weed whacker because the magnetic field they put out can have similar interference effects.
That "UV hardening plastic" works only on clear parts, like glass, clear plastic and that's pretty much it. And for glueing clear parts without leaving easily visible crack it is good
I love me some easily visible cracks though so I think I'll pass.
I use it at my fly shop for attaching leader loops to line. It seals the knot and make it easier to slide through the guides.

i use the arm magnet all the time its not great for tools but its amazing for bolts and stuff especially when im in dirt working
I was just thinking that when I seen the thumbnail lol the whole reason I clicked the video is to leave a similar comment
My first thought when I saw that was how great it would be when pulling stuff apart at my plant. It's fiber cement, everything is wet/dirty/covered in shit and catwalks everywhere so you don't always have good spots to put nuts/bolts/wrenches etc without potentially losing them to the abyss.
I have a wrist band version with loads of magnets, I use it to hold nails and screws when I'm roofing, framing and other jobs with one-and-done fixings, it's bloody great and the biggest bonus is it stops me sticking screws and nails in my mouth to hold them!
@@WhiskeySins Maybe a belt?
@@turbokadett My back would not be hurting as much after a day of screwing in ceiling drywall if I had a magnet thingy like it. The amount of times I had to bend over to grab a bunch of screws completely immobilized me for the next two days.
They make a magnetic tool holder that fits on your wrist that’s actually useful for working on smaller stuff to hold screws etc. PC work, pulling a dash panel on car etc.
I'd rather have magnetic tray tbh. I would probably smack my wrist somewhere and drop few bolts and never find them again. At least I can put the tray somewhere safe.
They also make little magnetic trays that you can stick basically everywhere lol when I'm working on my vehicles I'll use one for sockets and such while the other is for the parts I take off lol
@@DG_427 Y'all don't save tupper ware from Chinese food and use the little soup container to horde miscellaneous screws and bolts?

I have a wrench like that Tiger Wrench, I use it for oil changes, specifically for drain plugs. That's the only thing I use it for. It's nice when you don't already know the size you need, I just take that one under the car, and it always works.
@bowen voowy That's what I always called it, dogbone wrench. Certainly not a new idea, and works great for that specific purpose!
So, coming back to this video after I watched it once. In that time i broke a vertebra in my back and healed. But I've got a permanent case of "old man back" in my 20's. And I can tell you right now, having back problems makes the car cane WAY more attractive. It's one of those products that you can't actually test until you have "old man back".
While I was a mechanic at sears we used the craftsman version of the tiger wrench it had a magnet on it. Loved it for oil changes it stuck to the metal oil drain pan. It was actually amazing for that purpose. The made a 6 point metric and sae one saved tons of time if you add it up by the end of the week
I just made almost the same comment. The old versions with the magnet (and SAE, or metric) are great for oil changes when you are jumping from vehicle to vehicle.
I just wanna point out the UV activated glue/plastic DOES work quite well in certain applications. I've used it a lot with excellent results. However, I bought a small UV flashlight for the curing, as its alit stronger than he supplied one. Still using those items to this day.
James & jer media gold
They weren't really fair to the product but were instead evaluating a goofy advertisement.
I was about to leave the same comment. I’m not sure about the brand they used there, but the stuff is handy.
I use it a lot with fly tying.
The JB Weld UV glue is bomb!!
Have these guys never had a cavity fixed by light-curing at the dentist?? This is their go to tool to fix a lot of dental issues.
I assembled steel buildings for nearly 40 years and truthfully the bone wrench can be pretty handy to keep in your tool pouch. Not the most practical thing, but when you're going up a ladder and don't know what size a fastener is, it's better than carrying 6 or 7 wrenches just to find out you still don't have the right one.
Yes
Another good reason for it would be like on a tractor in a field or on a boat or something where you may need tools in a pinch and don’t want a whole toolbox to lug around.
“It’s easier to get out without”
Said by a young person grabbing the window frame on a convertible to help himself out 😂

Yep. My stepfather had a stroke and had a lot of difficulty getting out of a car and into his wheelchair, and one of these made a huge difference.

@@OptionalZero As someone in my mid 20s with back issues due to an illness, it can happen WAY sooner than you think. All it takes is one awkward injury or an illness like mine and you're basically out of commission
The dog bone wrench you first shown is actually a great tool for farmers that might break down in the field or an emergency situation on the side of the highway. I have used them often. Some have a magnet so you can set it not worry about it rolling off. Not for everyday use, for sure.
I bought one off the snap-on truck 20+ years ago. I only use it for oil drain plugs, as it was marketed for, but it works great. It also has a magnet on it so it sticks to the oil drain tank so you're never looking for it. I could see having one in a vehicle as an emergency tool as well.
That's what i was thinking. Throw it in the trunk so it's there if needed.
@@DriftingDragon74 That's exactly what I used to use them for. Though they didn't work on every car, but at least they did on a majority of them.
Same, as a mechanic I always kept one on the oil cart just easier to have something ready to go for 90% of vehicles, paired with a strap canister remover I almost never had to make a trip to the box.
Yeah, the Craftsman one has a magnet on it. My neighbor has one and he always keeps it magnetized to the side of his toolbox.
I’d say all the stuff in this video (or at least the ideas behind them) could be legitimately useful to some people. The wrench would be useful if you were working away from a tool box. The UV cured glue is a legitimate thing…some of the fillings in my mouth were done/covered with a UV cured epoxy. My 2 elderly parents could use something like the car cane, I’m just too concerned about damaging or scratching the paint in my car to get one. Lots of things like the seat belt cutter/window breaker already exist… The problem with the specific products you showed is that infomercials generally take good ideas and ruin them by building them way, way too cheaply.
And putting a flashlight in them
That 48- in one wrench can be very useful! I work as a automotive tech, and for some drain plugs where the previous person didn’t get some 7 foot tall, four hundred pound guy named “big country” to tighten the drain plug it can save a few seconds running back to the box to grab a socket. Pick up a 6 point one though, not a spline. Will slip much harder.
Yeah, used something very similar when I worked at a quick lube, made it nice having the one wrench at each bay for pulling drain plugs
Oh please. You're just makin' stuff up. It's physically impossible for anyone but that 7 foot tall "big country" fella to install a drain plug while his pal bubba is making sure the lug nuts are good an tight.
The 3-foot Snap-On 3/8 drive ratchet: will remove _and install_ drain plugs.
The seatbelt cutter with window smasher is useful. But just be careful because I've had a few of them rust up.
After they got rusty, the window breaking tool could get jammed, without firing.
how many times in your life have you been in a situation where you need to cut your seat belt and bust the window? Why do you have so many that they're rusting up? So many questions.
@@CRneu Preparedness. You don't keep buying these things because you keep getting into accidents, you buy these things because perhaps you live near lakes or easily flooded areas. If you would rather have one, keep it maintained. The last thing you want is ending up in a situation where you need to rely on these things and find out it isn't working. It's like maintaining smoke alarms. People almost never actually need them, but the one time you don't have one that works could be the difference between you walking away unscathed or ending up dead.
Frankly though I wonder if a few drops of plastic safe anti-rust grease could be dropped in there to prevent rust damage in the first place.
Oil it if you want to prevent rust or get a different version of this tool. This one is convenient but get one with a big handle and non spring loaded glass breaker. I found out they're called rescue hammers.
I have the seatbelt cutter / glass hammer from resqme over a 6 years and no rust etc...and sometimes it's good for opening mailboxes... :D
@@VraerynDaDragon Preparedness would be getting a Gerber crisis hook and leaving it in your car instead of buying a cheap one every year.
The tiger wrench thing is actually really useful as an actual mechanic since we do oil changes on various cars with various sized drain bolts. That one wrench is usually all we need.

I use the magnetic armband, and it is very useful. Mine is sized for forearm though, and is meant to use screws, nails and an occasional socket or drillbit - not freaking hammers and 25lbs weights.
I use magnetic wrist bands all the time when working with fasteners. That’s the best use for it, not putting heavy tools on it. That’s what tool belts are for. There’s actually a magnetic vest that my electrician friends use , and those can hold much more weight, but they are like $200 so I don’t have one.
@@jonosterman2878 you see the ads what they told??
It is also best for when you're on a ladder or other place where it's hard to set stuff down

car cane has got a point. Imagine if it was implemented into a luxury car in a luxurious way, it would make getting out of them easier. a stick that pops out when you open the door of your supercar would be useful imo
Yea like padded hook so I can't scratch paint solid handle and and maybe just make it the handle on the car umbrella some luxury cars have matching paint and whatnot it could be a good idea
Yeah and then your light won’t shut down cause those things are designed to tell the car when the door is shut. It’s broken on my e46 and it drains the battery. Was just random I discovered it.
I agree with you. My parents bought one because my late step-mom had mobility issues, it worked well enough for them. I know my dad said they missed it when they had gone on a trip without it and talked about getting a second one, which I don't think they did before she passed away.
I saw so many of those in elderly customers' cars when I worked for Cadillac... saw a bunch that got slammed in the door, too. 🤣
They have Rolls with the umbrellas in the doors wouldn’t be amazed if somebody modded a cane holder instead.
3:17 I'll take that! I drive a sh*tbox that's constantly falling apart. You imagine how much effort this would save me taking an entire socket set into the junkyard to pull parts? Or how useful it would be as part of my emergency toolkit, which currently includes a Pittsburgh socket set. Could save a lot of space, and possibly weight! It's definitely not going to help like the advertisement made it seem, but it could be very useful to a more niche market!
The magnetic band is super useful in construction. Sometimes I have to install lights on the side of a building, so having the screws somewhere super accessible makes it faster and adds a sort of sense of safety since im not rummaging through a pouch or pockets
i could totes seeing it be useful for drywalling. no sharp screws in a random pocket; can grab em while using that arm to hold up the sheet. i have one that ive literally never used. will now for that application tho.
Yea they have ones that have good magnets in them. You got a good one unlike these guys it seems.
Yeah, holding big tools like hammers with it is not its strength. It’s a lot better suited to holding small parts, maybe occasionally a small wrench or two. In the right situation it’s amazing.
Anything you would even _consider_ holding in your mouth to free up a hand is probably a good candidate, although you do have to worry about the magnets themselves being hazardous to some equipment, and also to any kid unfortunate enough to swallow TWO of them and have them stick together from different parts of the gut.
I have the wrist version and that’s exactly what I use it for. Lights, ceiling fans, etc. in addition to the screws, it’s great for holding impact bits if you have to switch back and forth on a project.
The tiger wrench is an "ok" tool for use in lube shops. Untrained lube techs save minutes with these hanging on the used oil receptacles. They're pretty useless otherwise.
Can confirm, worked at a quick lube right out of high school, those things worked great, we had a 6 point version though
I use a dogbone wrench all the time.
@@946towguy2 going to guess by your name you run a tow truck? I could see that helping in that as it would save the weight and storage space. Makes sense!
@@TwoTenTwice
You know all those situations where you need to hold one end of a nut-bolt combination and both sides need the same size wrench? An adjustable wrench tends to round off corners. It also toggles and flips for those situations where you don't have a right angle or need to wrench something on or off fast like an oil drain plug, drive shaft bolts, unistrut, many bolts and nuts on trailers, lag bolts, etc.
Also, the magnetic armband and a magnetuc parts tray are life savers when you are working under a truck or in an otherwise awkward position.
The UV resin works on clear or translucent, especially ceramics such as windshields and is similar to what is used by the dentist.
and i need to hang on if ur a Motorcycle Touring Guy this Fella is kinda Handy :D bc of the space it takes Compared to all u could carry....
Ok, so my dad has something similar to the car cane, but is full metal and a rubber grip. No light or flimsy material like that. He had a stroke and he can't get in or out of the car easily. That thing actually helps me get him in and out of the car.
RIP Billy Mays. He made commercial watching fun most of the times although the products didn’t really work. Love your vids donut
the magnetic armband is very useful when screwing stuff while high up on a ladder or similar. It holds small screws and bits very well.
I use a magnetic glove when crawling to work in attics…
You could just use a magnetic bowl/tray. And true it may be useful in that instance but if you’re under a car it may be harder to use.

The magnetic arm band is quite useful for holding screws, nails, sockets or small tools when you are on ladders or places of that kind, the only difference is that I use a version that attaches to the forearm not the arm
The rescue me tool works perfectly. You do have to firmly press and hold the tool so it can't bounce and the force is delivered to the window, also, they said to do it near a corner. Love these tool and car products videos. Keep them coming.

Yeah it looked like a great tool for holding small things like extra nails / screws, etc. Maybe not so much for holding hammers or wrenches though.
I don't have the same one that they got but I have the whole magnetic armband. Works wonders for when I'm disassembling something (like removing bolts off my cars front bumber) and just need to keep the bolts from rolling away and into the void.
My GF gave me one and I never thought I would use an it. It's actually came in handy a few times building different things. Holds screws instead of having to go get more.
My mom made one for herself like 40 years ago. Basically a fabric sleeve with magnet tape sewn inside and Velcro to secure it. She also made a wrist strap pin cushion too. She used them for crafting. Pins, needles, screws, brads.
5:08 this product looks similar to RapidFix UV, a product I've been using for years and highly recommend. Also apparently there's another one branded JB Weld that I've used recently at work.
And yeah, you have basically nailed its major weakness :) However, in situations where you *can* hit the whole joint with the light, it's very useful! I use it for sticking down wires to circuit boards, and bonding wires together for strain relief. It hardens all the way through in seconds with a strong enough UV source, and if you need to remove it it peels off without damaging the surfaces it adhered to.
Also the UV light it comes with is wimpy. If you get a stronger one it becomes much more useful.
We had one of these at home for a while, and it works just fine for lightweight plastic repairs. Think it's a variation of a product dentists use. The arm thing isn't unreasonable either -- sounds like the seller makes unreasonable claims, but c'mon no one is trying to carry a hammer that way. And the car thing just flat-out worked. Still a good concept and a fun video.
Love how the tiger wrench said its easy to use with jemeriah struggling to find the right size
With the door hook thing, I can just imagine forgetting that it's there after you get out of the car and slamming the door on it
Same here
Didn’t forget mine lol useful for my broke. Leg and ankle
A good alternative to the arm thing is a good old toolbelt 😂
When I was a premise technician I used a tool belt pouch similar to it that had a huge magenet on the outside which was really convenient for renches, screws etc not quite like the arm thing it sat like a normal puch had a big open mouth, a couple loops for screw drivers but small renches and screws and such conveniently stucj to the side which was convenient for installing jacks and such because you open the packet slap the screws to the magnet and can hold the screw driver their too
I use a magnet like that on my forearm for small bolts, nuts, and crap. I use magnetic bowls when I work on the cars for the same thing.
Tools go on a belt, definitely the best place for them. In my case.
Cargo pants.
@@xeridea Cargo pants and a good belt
As a former EMT, I can tell you that the Rescue-Me window breaker is legit.
As someone still in the biz, this tool is great till you get into a newer car with laminated glass. Learned this the hard way on an extrication. A late teens Chevy Equinox. A half dozen tries with this tool, and a few good Halligan tool whacks, we had to go reciprocating saw. Apparently it has to do with occupant restraint standards. If they "forget" to belt themselves it, they won't be at as great a risk of being ejected. Luxury cars have been using laminated glass to lower cabin sound levels for over twenty years now.

@@usa-jy5ox Guess I would rather die trapped in an equinox than getting run over by one.
I have two emergency hammers in my car, like those that are required for public transport, but with an added belt cutter. I got them after I saw a test on what happens when a car goes into a small pond or something like this and the electronics go haywire (in that TV show the lights and the windshield whipers came on all of a sudden, so there is a not so slim chance that the electric locks might just lock the car). Those hammers are really cheap on ebay, and even if I obviously hope that I'll never have to use them, it's better to have them and never need them than to not have them when I need them. My concern with the Rescue-Me thing is that the belt cutter blade will get dull relatively fast if it's actually used as a keychain.
I think the Car Cane is a good idea, it just was not well executed. And the Band-It could be really useful in the right circumstances, specifically when you need to carry a lot of small, lightweight things up and down a ladder. I could see someone using it for roofing nails, for example.
That thing worked great for my 85 year old grandmother, of course it isn't going to be useful for non disabled people, it's advertised for elderly or disabled people. It lasted fine with use a few times a week for like 7 years for me.
Yeah, I've seen much better versions where the entire handle was a moulded plastic. It didn't have removable grips or presumably battery covers (no built-in torch) and was a much better product. They're recommended by OTs all the time and they are super helpful.
@@rdizzy1 really?? my nans got 1 and she says its really hard to use coz its not in the right place to put ur weight
No roofer would ever use this ... buy a toolbelt
@@farmersgrip I'm not a professional roofer, but as I'm going to be a homeowner as of tomorrow, I can see that it might be necessary for me to make an occasional roof repair. Not gonna buy a tool belt that I'll only use once, and the Band-It looks like something that may come in handy in more than one scenario.
That "Laser Bond" does work, but it is meant for fairly delicate repairs, and it takes some work with the UV light to get it "cured". Those ads are a bit optimistic...
at 1:30 both James and Jeremiah realized who they one day could become
I ended up with one of those 48 in one's. For free it's not a bad addition for the tool box for the few scenarios you need to hold a bolt head at a diagonal so you can tighten a nut.
Not often do I need it, but it has its moments
The uv glue is mostly good for gluing glass to glass or glass to metal or transparent stuff. yes it does not really work on things that dont let light through, and the good thing is, the glue also cures in normal sunlight, so it gets stronger too. i fixed a view glass things with similar glues and they hold up fine. love your show and all the infos you spread, i allready could learn a view new things from you. go on guys, keep it funny 🙂
We use the UV glue in my IT shop. The nice thing is that it does not stick to most metals so you can rebuild stand offs and use the original screw as the mold. Sure it isn't as strong as the original standoff but it is better than nothing.
Used a lot in dentist repairs
I feel like the problem was that garbage light that came with it. Lol
I got the first tool as a joke because I always grab the wrong wrench/socket and have to go back to my toolbox. It was surprisingly quite handy for the basic maintenance that I do, I don't recommend it for well seasoned mechanics but for the person who does oil changes, brakes, and belt accessories it's quite useful.
So glad to see James back in the videos was getting worried there for a second 😅
I'm a shade tree mechanic and I have two of the Tiger Wrenches and use them a lot. I keep one in my truck tool box and one in my garage tool box. It has worked out very nice for many jobs. And its well made too. I've abused it a lot.
The tiger wrench in opposite is quite useful if you are working on easily accessible parts - my dad had a tool that was basically the same but with the most common hex keys for a bicycle. That thing saved weight and space on a bike tour.
I feel like they unnecessarily messed around with it. I'm more interested in its strength/durability.
It’s also good in a bike bag or other space-constrained emergency kit.
I a wrench similar to the tiger wrench that I bring when I dont want to lug around a toolbox. Other than that I stick to my wrench and socket sets for rigidity
I've used the laser bond and for a few things, very few, it worked great. I think I got it at Lowes and I actually went back and got more a couple weeks later.
Yea same here, I think they applied too much glue
True, the infomercial is misleading - you need to be really careful not to put it too much, and put it under strong uv for far longer time to cure. And it wouldn't hold big things under strains. It's for small dents, filling holes, or remaking bulges that wear or fell off. If only someone would sell the professional tooth dental composite filler, that thing is incredible.
Got it at $tree good for fixing bongs that are decorative now
Ridge wallet fits perfectly with this video. Excellent promotion
I have one of those magnetic straps for my wrist, and it's freaking awesome for holding nails, screws, bolts, etc. Especially if you're working on a ladder or under a car.
I think the bicep version is . . . kinda stupid.
The magnetic arm band is handy for holding screws/nails that’s about it. But I really like it for that one purpose rather than filling my pockets with screws or wearing an apron/Fanny pack.
As an auto tech i really appreciate you saying DONT BUY THIS FOR THEM, it feels so nice having someone know i dont need a literal gimmick.
yeah I love getting the miracle seven in one wrench that i can use to hold a door open
@ Doughnut, I have been doing industrial manufacturing maintenance for 12 years and had good luck with the JB weld UV bonding glue on small brass meetering valve pin/ jets. Comparable to a needle jet from a motorcycle carburetor. I’d love to see if you had the same results. Keep crushing the videos! Jeff from north western Pennsylvania
2 part epoxies and uv cured resins do work.
superglue works also in right application. for attaching abs to abs though some abs-acetone slurry works wonders.
They aren't smart enough to understand what you said.
I saw one of those magnetic tool holders, but it was for the wrist. To hold small screws and screw driver bits. Would be much better when working on small jobs.
I was given the smaller wrist one at Christmas as a stocking stuffer. I have used it a few times just to try it and it works as advertised if you stick to smaller things like nuts and bolts. It definitely isn’t as revolutionary as the commercials make it seem.
The CREDIT CARD killer! Lol, or the Grandpa killer since it will mess with pacemakers too..
I have one of those magnetic wrist bands and it does work pretty well. I used it for holding nails and screws while assembling a bookshelf and a dresser. Since I was constantly moving around the room, it really did help without getting in my way.
That uv Lazer bonder or whatever is great for small, light plastic repairs. THAT'S IT.
Damn I had such high hopes for that uv light glue thing.... They've been selling on them on TV for decades, you wouldn't think they could sell something that doesn't work for so long. But there you go, it doesn't and they could.
They only work if the part you're gluing is clear. Something like fixing a chipped windscreen
@@pyr0bee so not things like boats... For example.
Its basically 3d print resin. its useful, just not in the way the product advertised, I use it for miniature war gaming modeling.
Actually they do work extremely well. They were just using it incorrectly. Anyone that has actually used one knows they're fantastic when used correctly. Ask Adam Savage.
@@NinjAsylum but the commercial doesn't explain that well enough, with the boat example you might it can do anything
Fresh new Donut video to watch while takin my morning crap on company time!
I've got a different type of Tool Band-it, goes on your wrist rather than upper arm. It's actually really nice for screws and nails to keep them handy. I've never tried it for anything else though
Yes I agree I got one just like what you described for the wrist and work awesome for screwed nails and bolts. Got one at work and one at home.
The rescue me tool actually works great. It's one of the recommended rescue tools. You have to firmly press near the corner of a window.
Also, it has one of the only working seat belt cutters when tested againt others.
This tool is great till you get into a newer car with laminated glass. Learned this the hard way on an extrication. A late teens Chevy Equinox.

I would be so uneasy with that Tool band-it, I would have to count the things on it every 5 seconds! What if you're working on an engine or something and you drop one in? I agree fellas TRASH IT!!
when they talked about working under the car, I keep imagining getting my stuck on the exhaust or something. lmao
or at 7:02 - they don't have one, but you could definitely lean against a hood.
@gelas lawas WTF???
Car cane is worth it. My mom was in an accident and after had a hard time getting in and out of a car. Got this for her and it definitely helped her. It's like a rail in a handicap stall. If you don't need it, it's easier to not use it. But if need it, it's a huge help.
The resq-me is actually pretty awesome when it comes to breaking windows, especially underwater compared to something you have to swing and strike with. Use it on the corner of the window to keep your arm from going through and getting cut up.
I keep one on my duty belt at work and have used it at least a dozen times.
Sounds like you end up getting wet constantly. You sure you are not a danger to yourself and others?
@@Seb-Storm he's an experimental amphibious vehicle test pilot - _give him a break!_

7:16. DO NOT go under the car with this. You will get glued by the neo-magnetic forces and you will never get out of there.
I bought 5 of those rescue me (seatbelt cutter glads breaker) tools on the geek app about 6 years ago. Gave them out to my close ppl . Goes everywhere with me. Except courtrooms lol.
Isn’t that liquid plastic just essentially UV resin?
Probably yes… that’s also how they 3D print in resin too.
I think the magnet thing is probably useful enough for holding parts...if you lower it to your wrist...keep in mind, there are places out there that have wrist versions and market it just for that.
Hell yeah, I love waking up to some donut videos!! Especially when they're new ones lol
1:24 bro sounded like a pissed off bobcat
Can't really judge a tool based on time if you're incompetent on using it
Well, I think the one test you failed in was the seatbelt cutter. It came off quick enough from the key ring. But you didn’t take into account that in the event of a collision or “landing in a river” (unless you’re just driving very slowly into said body of water), the seatbelt will lock. Therefore providing the tension on the seatbelt necessary to cut it quickly.
Disagree, I mean sure the seatbelt would probably be tense but the product did well enough either way and they still gave it a pass. I’d agree if they failed it for missing their arbitrary 10 second goal but they didn’t. Plus it’s probably best to test in a worse case scenario when the belt doesn’t lock ya know
That spinny wrench thing is a good bicycle wrench, has all the sizes you'd find on a bike. Stick it on your bike with velcro for a good trial tool
Yes it is very useful. I have 3 of those. From smaller to a bigger one size. I use it on repairing stuffs(more on bicycles)
Isn't it standard? Bikes are metric. Plus, it would be useless on a bike. There wouldn't be room to fit on anything if it could and bikes don't use hex bolts anyway.
Believe it or not that dogbone wrench was AWESOME for doing oil changes when I worked at a shop, just left it in the drain pan and always had the right size for a drain plug
This channel brings me so much joy... thanks for helping me keep it together Donut
The arm magnet band could be actually useful. For something like solar installs, I can't lug my toolbox with me on a ladder, I definitely could use this, but the danger that it falls on someone's head is too big.
It would also need stronger magnets
Wouldn't work here in Australia, as solar needs stainless fasteners, which aren't magnetic .
Recently discovered this channel, and it has been my favorite thing to watch. Every series has a food reason to watch, whether funny or informative. Love this channel
Hey, I used that first wrench all the time for bicycle work. Hecka useful for that. Wish I had two of them sometimes 😅
Even though the tool band-it didn't perform as claimed I still think it'd be good to carry nails and screws around. If you think about it you hardly ever need just one screw and you don't want to have to keep running back and forth to get more, and you definitely don't want to put them in your pocket where they can just stab through it.
I dont have the tiger wrench but harbor freight sells a generic one which has come in handy quite a few times. Dont use it to spin the bolt, use it to capture and hold the nut while you use a regular ratchet to do the work and tighten. The design allows the bolt to pass through as you tighten the nut. Very useful when assembling things and came in clutch when putting the bed cover on my truck and other jobs like that.
I’ve used that liquid plastic it actually works pretty alright! I’m not sure it would be strong enough for a boat 🤣🙃
Yeah, actually it work for really small repairs, and is good for filling some dents, one even might construct some small notch that fall off, but it all have to be accessible to UV light, and plenty of it to cure. Sunlight is a good, these uv led lights are usually too weak so you'd have to light it for about 15 minutes to be sure.
6:52 GTA3 mission passed sound
who can't hold their breath for more than 13 sec? 10 sec is an unrealistic goal. 13 sec means you're still alive. and when cars go into water it takes several sec, and possibly minutes for it to fill with water, giving the occupants plenty of time to escape using this tool. just my opinion though.
I have one of those tiger wrench things at work it’s actually kind of convenient
Actually, I've found the magnet arm band thingy to have "some" use once you get use to it. Not horrible for small fasteners when you're under the junk in the gravel.
The fart car exit thingy .. As much as it may be total junk as manufactured .. I modify vehicles for the differently abled, and you may be surprised at how much ten to hundred thousand dollar options are also junk. There are many flavors and subtleties to disabilities. Aside from the actual engineering .. part of my job is also to work with a client to see what 'else' works, and hack/fabricate it if i can .. I would absolutely NOT discount this as being a viable option, or accessory - as much as I'm surprised to say as much. I can absolutely see this as a useful assist device for certain spinal injury clients. it's easy to dismiss this, us being so called 'able bodied' (Even if we grunt and groan getting into our Crown Vics and wheeze while doing our shoe laces).. one of my client's vehicle ingress/egress is facilitated by a shitty nylon strap through the door frame, which requires rolling the window down and looping it every time. So i know what that wee bit of extra stability means to (for example) a transfer seat client. I would have absolutely had one of these in the fit shop if i had known about them. I'm frankly surprised that Bruan and Adapt don't sell them for $600. Although I can't speak to the build quality of the thing you tested .. this is not a product idea to be dismissed. It has definite merit. Not to endorse the company - but when you have a busted leg in the bush .. that crooked stick suddenly looks awesome. I think you have this one 100 percent wrong. I will be looking further into this and probably recommending it in the future where it may be applicable.
Not to shit on you .. I love this channel - i troll occasionally like every bench racer. But here we be you sons-of-bitches full of late twenties piss and vinegar strutting about on two functional legs.. and I myself 55 and still do a daily four miles with my idiot 14 month old German Shepherd. But sometimes we don't, we can't - because we tossed a rod through the block and suddenly need wifey to help us take a shit.
You have thoroughly missed an entire demographic in this review.
My dad and late step mom bought one for their car and it was a big help for her (and him by him not having to help her in and out of the car all the time) to use the Car Cane. I know it may not work in every situation and for every disability, but it apparently is useful for some folks and therefore I agree with your assessment about them being nearly 100% wrong. I did not actually handle the one my parents owned, but judging by this look (I would not call it a "review"), the build quality could be improved, perhaps all aluminum (a shaped aluminum handle can be quite comfortable for short uses as this is intended for) construction would be a starting point.
As someone who couldn't walk without being at a 70 degree hunch for 2 years I can second the feeling of "I don't care what it looks like so long as it works.".
I had a lot of canes and they wouldn't last usually because they would develop a bow or handles would start cracking off. Finally I got a crowbar, a PVC end cap, and a pack of rubber bar stool feet and made me a cane.
It looked odd as hell and it was damned loud if I dropped it but it worked better than all the other options I had tried.
As for Donut, frankly they are trending towards this sort of habit of shitting on various demographics while usually quietly pushing some agendas. I feel we are slowly seeing the death of a just a fun car channel.
You write very well, sir.
@Al 🤣
3:20 Awe I love the dog-bone wrench. Grew up on it doing oil changes. It's not going to "Replace 100 tools and cut time in two" or whatever, but it's handy af. 12/12 wrenches in one.
I have actually had good luck with one of those UV curing resin things before
But I have only used them really on clear kids toys and lightweight stuff.
11:34 , as a disability support worker, this is to real.
I can see the magnet armband being pretty useless in a car garage, but I do finish carpentry and I love mine for when I need to pop screws in and out all day. Great for small parts that you need to stash and grab often, although I wouldn't hang tools from it.

I think the Tiger Tool might be good in a bicycle tool kit. I wish they would have tested its strength on a very tight bolt.
On the tiger wrench, i used to work at an oil change shop and i found it quite handy to keep in my pocket for braking loose oil drain bolts but i couldn't imagine doing any in depth engine work with it
you should hit it with the UV light after you put the pieces together not before and also the studio lights might affect the glue
Jeremiah did that with the screwdriver, watch the video again.
One wrench to rule them all 🤣🤣🤣
I'm wondering how strong they are (or aren't)!
