Dude, this was very very helpful. I've owned my trimmer for a couple months and have had to stop using it because I couldn't get it open. What a PITA I tell you. This trick made all the difference. Thank you!!!!
No problem Ron! knowledge is useless if you can't share it
Things I learned: 1. modifying voids the warranty. 2. you have to modify to get the dang thing to work. 3. people on the internet are weird. All of this is correct.
sounds about right. fortunately we the consumers can modify the tool into what we need vs waiting for the platforms/brands we use to "invent" a small tweak and charge the same or MORE for essentially the same tool the way it should've been to begin with
In my experience… everything I put Shell VPower in quiets down and peps up as long as it’s a newer car with knock sensors and variable valve timing. It’s worth the additional 20 cents per gallon it costs compared to regular Shell in my state and I get 10 cents off per gallon using their free rewards program. So for $1-2 more per tank (I usually fill up 10 gallons), it’s a no brainer. When I lived in Florida and it was like 80 cents more per gallon I definitely thought about it more 😅 but in CA it’s a no brainer.
@adrianpadilla2155 damn! If you really are getting nitro v at 10 cents more go for it! Premium fuel in most places are several dollars more per gallon. Given how CA is right now I wouldn't live there if food, utilities, housing, a car and gas were free lol
Thank you, for making and sharing this. I've got the same gauge set, I find that it holds 29/30 HG vacuum for fine, however when I close the LP valve the gauge rises to 0 within about a minute. I can hear the leak, but not sure if it's coming from the same location as in this video or possibly the LP valve.
@charlesdavid5137 definitely want to test your hose (if you're losing pressure with them attached) nylog sealant when fully cured should take care of you. The gauge threads side and hose connection threads should be sprayed by a bubbler solution. The same company that makes nylog "BLU" have a non water based bubbling formula specific for checking HVAC leaks. Enjoy your gauge set, it's well priced considering fieldpiece and yellow jackets are the top of the line apart from mastercool and all 3 have a more ...shall we say PREMIUM price tag 😄
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL thank you for your reply. Will do that for sure. This is literally the only diagnostic tool I own that is of this quality. When I got it years ago, I never thought I would be doing what I am right now. I'm gonna upgrade soon.
@@charlesdavid5137 No problem! I think the first upgrade anyone should go for is low leak hoses to release as little refrigerant as possible when disconnecting lines (especially the high side ports)

Cool vid. Thanks. After each use I cool down my batteries by putting them in front of a fan that I bought just for that since I use too many tools with batteries. 😊
@Beyros I can always appreciate someone taking a few minutes to care for their batteries! I am fully cordless and in fact spent the past 2 days (and a few days to go) sanding a 2 paint layer floor with nothing but this baby right here and the dcw210 from dewalt. Man my back hurts and these landlords think extra layers of paint fix EVERYTHING lol. Keep up the good work beyros 🔧💪 - Work Smart
I did kinda the same thing with my battery but it was hard to discharge since I don't a heavy equipment to use it on. What I did was just to run my drill for like 7-10 minutes and then tested it and started charging again. But your video of course was very useful the reason I found this solution which is the same but not with a dead battery 😅 Greeting from NYC
@Jonathancabanyc a drill will take a little longer to kill it but hey whatever works! Glad it worked out for you Jonathan. If it was the case your battery was dead you could take to wires and go positive to positive negative to negative and use a charged battery to charge the dead one for a few seconds but I would only try it in an emergency AND understanding that some batteries without short protection may be damaged if not connected correctly or left connected too long or somehow make contact to a grounded conductive metal
The thing is it doesn't build new deposits. Its even removes old deposits. It means it worth it.
@Meditationrelaxinghealing correct it does advertise to prevent buildup from occurring however without committing to a 100% cleaning timeline followed by a 1 - 3 year following up to see common commuting with a solid mix of city miles and highway miles while the vehicle is untouched by extra additives such as fuel injector cleaner
keep at it bro! great vid!
appreciate the kind words! saw that flex vs ridgid video you did not too long ago still breaks my heart lol flex makes some solid tools but ridgid is in the ballpark with the pricing and LSA
Can you make a video with the reg uponr tool.not the xr. With different batteries
Unfortunately I don't own the dce400. What I can can say is it depends on what you're comparing to. It is certainly fast than it's big XR brother. I'd also assume there would be marginal increases in performance however unless you REALLY need to I would choose the smallest battery that can make any tool work. Against the M12 non fuel they are pretty similar but overall the DCE400 dewalt isn't a bad choice. if you're already in the 20V line go for it otherwise I'd go for the M12 fuel over the m12 kit for 30 dollars more~
Thanky you Boss.
@johnpainter5750 no problem boss 😎
I have always and will always run my car on Vpower. I know she runs clean, and the exhaust tips have no carbon build-up. Pulls like a train. Along with the fuel, I service the car 2k miles earlier. With gear box oil changed 30k to 40k miles. Rear diff changed 60k. In terms of turbo: I turn the car on, wait 30 to 40sec to let oil go round the engine and all the computers to speak to one another. At the end I let it tick over after a run. 30sec to 1min. Gets some oil round the turbo fins. The car, Jaguar XE 2.0 T R sport.

I want one of these to have a good lighted surface to work on my guns. Harbor Freight has a coupon for $109.99 this week, so I'll probably jump on the deal. Perfect dimensions and height for what I need.
yeah the light is solid, drawers too I keep my lights and blades / attachments in 1 drawer and all my pliers and strippers in the other WARNING! Before you assemble it make sure all the pieces are there and that the light and 3 outlets work. If they're defective you can't just ask for the piece that's bad or missing, ya gotta return the whole table with everything and they'll give you a whole new table and set. My first table threw sparks from the outlets on the side when I plugged something in. The replacement is still holding strong if you've seen any of my other vids after this one
Thank you for this video! I could not get the replacement head to my Ryobi trimmer to lock. I watched numerous videos, including manufacture’s vid and found no help. I was doing everything the direction said to do. It wasn’t until well into your vid that you explained the locking process and how it worked and how to loosen it up. That did the trick. Good job!
glad I could help. Not everyone is at the same knowledge level so I have to cram in as much info as I can for anyone who needs it! I do try to cut and shorten my videos to the meat of the topic but hey appreciate you hangin out and learning a thing or two :) ~ Work Smart
It is hard to look at you with the ring in your nose.
I don't need you to watch me, just the video
Trying to decide between this and the corded version. Do you know what the difference is in suction power ? I hate cords..
Good question! I have both. I have the 14 gallon NXT (HD1400) corded version which has 6 Horsepower of peak suction at 165 cfm (amount of air volume moved) while this cordless version peaks at 5 horsepower at 76 cfm. In terms of strength both impressive for power however the corded version does suck and blow more volume. In the end it depends on what you're doing with it. For example if you're sanding drywall for a whole room I'd go corded BUT if you're only doing one wall, having no cord to trip over is nice same with detailing a car. With the newest 8 ah max output exp which I did a video on the run time cordless is about 27 minutes. I use this vac EVERY chance I get, in fact was just doing some trim repairs for some squeaky door frames about an hour ago. sanded while keeping the air clear of the crystal silica in the filler product. Sorry for the speech but both have their needs just depends on bigger/longer or smaller applications
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL thanks a ton! I just ordered the cordless one and subscribed :)
@@kellerhopkins3184 much appreciated, and enjoy! ~ Work Smart
Would you happen to know if the Shell gasoline cleaned the Nissan's fuel injectors? Thanks for the informative video on Shell V-Power gasoline!
I would assume it did however I would not like to deceive anyone. There was a fuel additive the owner added specifically to clean injectors before I could check them so I'd hate to tell you it was the gas if it was the additive that worked instead. The Nitro + formula does claim to "target and destroy deposits and future build up of fuel injectors"
I have the older style Rigid cordless vacuum. It was a complete waste of $. The motor is fine. It blows plenty of air. The seal on the container is garbage though. It sucks up fine dust but that’s it. Wood chips, or anything with even a little bit of mass just sits there. Liquid? Forget about it. Water doesn’t even make it up the hose. I just ordered this model. I hope it performs as well as it did in your review.
If you're referring to the one that is kinda shaped like a gas tank with no hose storage it did perform well. Project farm had it as the winner of the shop vac comparison he did a while back. The beauty of tools is seeing in real time how the improvements of new generations really solve the issues from previous designs and I hope yours makes you happy. I use mine EVERY chance I get lol
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL yeah, that’s the one. Like I said, the motor is strong. The problem is the seal on the tank. I guess I got a defective unit but there weren’t many cordless vacs at the time so I figured that they just didn’t work very well. I should have returned it at the time but I didn’t know that mine was an outlier
@@kevinwheesysouthward9295 not sure if you registered that vac for the service agreement. vacs have a different coverage than the batteries and 18v tools. If what you're saying is true, the coverage of the vac ends IF the tool dies. However your vac apparently works but has a bad seal which falls under "defects in materials/worksmanship". If you registered it i'd give them a shot and see if they'd cover that seal replacement for you. It happens now and then but I did a video recently with how they handled my warranted digital tire inflator.
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL thanks but I’ve never registered any tool I’ve ever bought. I guess I’m not very bright. I’ve been an electrician for 38 years. I would have spent months registering tools. Ha ha. I know. I should but I just run them until they stop running and get a new one. I appreciate your feedback and your review

great review! Next can you do a review of the smaller DEWALT 1" DCE400 against the 1" M12? And a separate review of the Milwaukee M18 1-1/2" Tool vs this DEWALT 1-1/2" tool?
unfortunately I had to return them both - both dewalts I had had the heads coming out slightly during the hardest part of the expansion, as for the m12, the 1" expander head had 2 loose jaws. If you want my honest opinion for the models you recommended I'd say dce400 vs m12 fuel m12 wins, M18 vs dce410 for 1-1/2" m18 wins for speed but price 100% for dewalt! The M18 expander is $1000+ kit only and the the fuel m18 expander is 1800 without tax or delivery!
nice video bro bro
always appreciate your words Ray, keep up the good work brah 🤙
I hate to be “that guy”, but premium vs regular unleaded isn’t about cleaning additives. Octane selection is almost exclusive to the engines compression ratio and ignition timing. Isn’t it more efficient (cheaper) to use the same, or similar, detergent package in all octane ratings sharing the same branding?
I didn't introduce this fuel to the owner for the sake of performance (although it was certainly a byproduct during the experiment). The additives in Nitro V claim to remove carbon buildup which as you heard was able to remove buildup of carbon deposits on her oil rings thus to date she hasn't had any oil blow by to the piston head or the spark plugs. 100% agree cost-wise an additive to recommended standard octane fuel is preferred when attempting to achieve the same result while saving money. In this case, it did its job (roughly). The financial commitment may lead many to go for fuel injector cleaning additives and fuel stabilizers/detergent additives. Thank you for sharing and don't worry you're not that guy, I AM 😎
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL I see now. Shell is marketing this additive package in their premium fuel only. Thanks for the methodical test!
the head size is a factor. if you have to jam it up in a tight space
100% this thing has a bigger head than me!
The normal DEWALT expander is faster than the Milwaukee fuel. The Milwaukee is also junk, the top of the expander is loose on every one I’ve seen, between the cheap junky plastic and the metal head there is okay. The Milwaukee handle is uncomfortable as hell too. Compare that dewalt to the 1-1/2” Milwaukee. It’s slower because it’s designed to expand 1-1/2” pex and that Milwaukee is designed for 1”
I agree with you on the dewalt it definitely gets the job done (haven't used the smaller dce400) but as far as the m12 fuel I didn't notice any loose parts. as for the dce410 I noticed on both (I made 2 videos each with a different tool) both of them had the metal head flex out to a noticeable gap the further up the pipe size you go. as a lefty the stupid lock button on the left side makes me shift my grip away from the rubber handle toward the plastic upper half. Both have pros and cons. Thanks for sharing!
If you want speed up the process, need to perform Italian Tune Ups on a regular basis. At lower combustion temps, short trips, more carbon will develop. Drive the vehicle at 4k rpm for 15 min at highway speeds to get the engine, valves, pistons hot. Then drive at wide open throttle till it shifts, then do a full deceleration to 1500 rpm, repeat 4-5 times. You will see marked difference in carbon removal after only one run. I have done same testing, borescope imaging, engine data logging, and fuel efficiency on my GM 2.4L Ecotec, GDI. Substantial reduction in engine knock, more advance timing, and better mpgs. Being a rental, and previous owned, you wont remove all the carbon, as it is normal aspect of burning hydrocarbons. The cleaner the engine, the longer it will last. Also need to use a premium 100% synthetic oil.
Man I haven't heard of the "italian tune up" since a scotty kilmer video a while back. Yeah cheap oil kills cars especially with some people thinking oil lasts forever lol. Most people are doing short trips and not caring about regular maintenance !

Happy to help
Your octane of premium is lower in the US than the UK, the premium is 99 octane what is it there? Do you know what the additive package is in the fuel? I think you're better off just using injector cleaner I put diesel injector cleaner in my petrol/gasoline and that seem to work really well. I've heard about people using isopropanol not tried it myself and don't know how well it works also 105 lacquer thinner supposed to be good not tried it. Anybody hands let me know!!
@jedi-mic for shell highest I've seen is 93. Essentially it's how resistant to explosions/pre igniting is. Fuel injector cleaner only goes so far with efficiency and my main goal was the additives that cleaned the carbon deposits. 99 octane is nice. Not a crazy fan of paint thinner or other chemicals randomly used to clean but hey if it works it works!
Great video as always. I’ve been considering this or ridgids handheld vac. I’m a low voltage tech looking to clean up drywall dust and sawdust. How’s nxt been holding up for you? I was also considering dewalts handheld or their corded/cordless shop vac. Ever try any of them?
The HEPA filters are designed to capture the smallest particles but the drawback is clogging while trying to keep your area and air clean! Not sure financially where you're at but dig a bit on amazon for ridgid compatible bags and you can fill em with drywall dust so they don't clog your filters. Sawdust is no issue. As for dewalt vacs I haven't used em. If you're in the platform you can try but my personal vote is orange here lol take my words with a grain of salt. I was just doing some sanding for a lady's kitchen table and chair legs a few days ago. She wanted sliders applied so as to not scrape her tile floor. 4 ridgid batteries in (4 ah) plus alittle 4 ah with my dewalt dcw210 and boom problem solved with no need to plug anything in allowing her to keep her AC running which was nice because we were in the mid 90s

@@mrgarrison3516 also yeah additives can come in clutch because there's a lot of labor to taking apart certain intake portions to get to those gunked up valves. I've seen walnut sand blasting that leaves them looking NEW.
good job
for whatever weird reason even closing the two new ball valves to the water heater, I still had steady little flow on the hot water line. That video you made with the kreg not too long ago about replacing that bottom board is gonna come in handy! The tenant said that's probably his 2nd or 3rd board he replaced. It may just be sealant because the supplies don't appear to be wet but there is water around the nuts holding the faucet on..might just be water spray getting under the fixture or possibly the fixture itself has a crack (hope not). Keep up the great work Ray!
Great review! Throwing them on a scale to do a weight comparison would be helpful, the main draw to M12 tools for me is the light weight for working overhead all day.
@zackbongle9967 in my recent video of the DCE410 you'd see the weight came out to 6 lbs 8.6 oz. As for the m12 it was about 4 lbs 6 Oz. Both measured without batteries or heads as weight with both can of course vary by configuration
Youve got some decent points for sure. And there is no doubt that someone that uses a utulity knife extensively on the daily would probably prefer your Dewalt. Especially for hard use tasks. But so many of us dont use our utility knives extensively during the day. And for many, the more compact size and belt clip are key in making sure you've got your utility knife in your pocket for when you need it. Additionally, rubber overmold is often annoying when having something with it in your pocket in my experience. Its grippy nature makes it hang up often when removing it and putting it back in your pocket. Basically boils down to what kind of knife you need. Thats why both types exist and why compact knives with pocket clips have become popular for those that dont need an all day hard use utility knife. Their compact and easy to carry in your pocket with minimal to no annoyance. The flip factor is just a fun gimmick imo because its just as fast to slide out a blade as it is to flip it. All that being said I do run the Milwaukee 6 in 1 as my daily as a left hander and have to say for the last 6 years its worked great for me. I used to run the compact but when the 6 in 1 came out i couldnt pass up the additional utility of the bit driver and the extra blade storage. That Dewalt has some nice features as well and if I had to use a knife all day every day id be carrying a unit like your Dewalt if not that exact knife for the nice features you demonstrated in your vid.
If someone gave me a fastback I definitely wouldn't say no but at the same price I preferred this one. I have heard so many good things about that 6 in 1 and the fastback's flip is in my opinion smoother. Something I forgot to mention about the dewalt is needing more pressure on the button to release the mechanism but on the other hand you can put ALOT of force on that head without is closing on ya. Some commenters got offended as if I said the milwaukee sucked lol. At the end of the day the best tool is the one you're excited to use and lost without :) ~ Work Smart
Great review man! Short, informative, no bullshit. Just subscribed to your channel.
appreciate the kind words, I try to keep it to the point but sometimes it's tough to fit all the information in! ~ Work Smart
Niiiiiiiice 🎉
@@chaddamron3877 foreal! 🥳
Too bad the pocket clip isn’t ambi.
@victorkrese6727 yeah however since you can switch it to the opposite position it's in the much more right hand friendly spot you'd see on the milwaukee fastbacks in my other video. The stock position is perfect for me
Great review. I also like and appreciate that you completed the video with no cussing, well done. As for the Vac, I really like it, just wish it was dual power source, (battery/120v) like some of their work lights.
I can't promise 0 cursing lol however yes a hybrid would be cool. I have the HD1400 which is the NXT corded 14 gal ridgid and honestly never use it...cordless has set me free of ALL outlets. Unless it's popcorn ceiling or a huge drywall job this 3 gal gets it done Jack! As for the hybrid motor that can be a tough cookie to create. DeWalt's 120 Flexvolt hybrid corded/cordless miter saw has a known issue where plugging it in fries the motor! Their answer is just use batteries lol Meanwhile Flex tools like their 12" brushless dual bevel miter has the option for the FLEX adapter that turns any their 24v cordless tools into corded if you need the juice. It's a great time to be into tools with all these innovations that our past tradesmen would've loved to have to make their jobs WAYYYY more efficient. ~ Work Smart
Appreciate the additional info. Okay, I'm all in and will purchase the cordless vac tomorrow. Will also look into Flex tools. I've been a Ridgid user for Diy stuff for years, but I'm definitely open to new and cool tools (I am sure, my wife thinks otherwise!). Thanks man!
@@Thor2Q haha I'd suggest not talking to the wife about it but rather showing her how the tools improve your quality of life hahaha, a new tool really feels like medicine. Ridgid is a solid brand and I made a video not too too long ago talking about the 8 ah max output EXP battery Ridgid dropped recently if you need the run time. Ridgid discontinued the octane 9 ah batteries so that new 8 ah is the largest battery that the vac fits.
Ok..Nissan Rogue/185 HP/ Designed for 87 octane fuel..Just use a great fuel treatment..My choice is Star Tron Fuel Enzyme Treatment..Rogue is known for great torque/Bottom end HP..Gas mileage is always questionable..Use 0w20-30 Syn Oil/ Class 4 spec every 5000 miles...
personally 3k to 5k is ideal so I'm with you on the 5000 mi change interval or the time interval (ex. 12 months or 75000 miles) and for sure additives are cheaper than gas (especially nowadays) and I only use Full synthetic oil but definitely stick to whatever your manufacturer recommends. We must be responsible with the info we share. It's a short jump from using a different oil viscosity to can I use cooking or tanning oil? to ill just use water. If it asks for 5W-30 then that's what it gets. I've done a 0 degree freeze test with Full synthetic mobile 1 vs Castrol synthetic blend both 5W-30 did well which proved that even sitting overnight in ice, the right oil in your car doesn't need to be thinner unless you live in a frozen tundra lol or thicker unless you're driving through a volcano :) ~ Work Smart
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL who makes 100% synthetic does valvoline and what is it called? What's about Castrol oil or shell? amsoil does but I can't get it here easily.
@jedi-mic bummer. Excluding amsoil you can look into mobile 1, valvoline, royal purple, Castrol (gtx is okay but their Edge line seems to have superior additives). The main thing are the additives. If you're looking for anti foaming, anti sludge build up, film protection (oil leaves a small film over metal components upon contact which is important when starting your vehicle because of the time it take the engine circulate oil). I did a small oil freeze test comparing full synthetic to synthetic blend and they both handled cold fine but the full synthetic definitely is better for both extremes of temperature (lowest it gets to 10 -14 degrees F here). Find the additives you feel your car needs most and if all else fails....learn to ride a bike 🤣
Shoots lol. Just commented on the Milwaukee video about this knife.
all good dude ... or not dude lol 🤙
Dewalt has their version of the fast back now
I KNOW!!!! my next video from a few days ago I talked about the 4 knives they just dropped I grabbed the DWHT10992 it's 100% worth the 15 bucks
@@TOOL_TECHNICAL my plumber has one. The deployment button is on the other end of the clip, so might be a little better for lefties.
@@kds471 yeah I was showing it to this guy at Home Depot he was like Foreal? I Let em try it for a bit. The only thing I forgot to add in the other video is that the dewalt button needs more pressure than the fastback. The mechanism is all metal so with time it'll probably break in :) ~ Work Smart
Those long finger nails are such a huge distraction. Trim those things!
I think they're both better when used in two different scenarios. The milwuakee when you just need a quick knife, for just a few seconds. Not using all day type work. What I use for plumbing. Carry the compact all day, every day. However, DeWalt could be better for those that need to hold a knife for a lot longer. Few minutes, or longer, at a time. Maybe better for electricians or autobody shops, idk, but definitely could see it better in some cases. In my case, using the DeWalt, I just know it would be a hassle. The milwuakee is just so satisfying to flip open and negates most of the 'pros' of the dewalt, for me.
I have the original all metal fast back, its seen daily use for around a decade and is still perfect, love it
I heard the milwaukee hawkbill being sharpened by older guys that hang on to em for a while. This channel is about sharing tools and repairs. If you find a tool that you're excited to hold, use and feel inefficient without then that's the perfect tool for you. Price means nothing when you find you match cheap or expensive.
No one makes a left handed utility knife for the same reason in 25 years I have made 12 left handed knives....left handed folks wont buy them. They are so used to using right handed gear they dont want to retrain. I have had the argument that if I had them they will sell......and they sat for years through multiple shows and envents....its just not worth the effort for the big companies to pay the expense of re tooling to sell 100 or less....
I totally get you. I got used to right handed guitar but playing baseball for a few years I HAD to have a lefty mitt. My new video on the 4 new dewalt knives finally solved this issue. I went with the DWHT10992 and that video quickly summarizes why in a few minutes :) Thanks for sharing Doc ~ Work Smart
You should check out the DWHT10991 and DWHT10992 from DeWalt
Already uploaded and very happy with what I found! I got the 10992 :)
The same reason that for thousands of years Leaders marched armies leading on the LEFT foot. Because MOST PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE RIGHT-HANDED. and if you called a marching cadence on the right foot, by the time you reach your destination you'll be miles off your intended area.
Note to self: wake up tomorrow as a right-handed person
You can tell by looking at these in the video that they get 0 work use and are just toys.
@lSirCumference weird that these new out of package knives would not look worn...if you're referring to my Dewalt or Stanley I clean my tools between uses when I can. Having dirty scuffed and barely functional tools isn't required to share pros and cons. I'd prefer hearing something related to the channel such as what you like and dislike in a tool
As a left-handed person I think you're absolutely insane trying to make this argument bro the fastback is far and away the best box utility knife I've ever used. The button takes literally zero effort to use, your soft lil fingers will be fine. You don't need the belt clip for a folding tool anyways, it's so compact when folded it fits in a pocket way better than any other utility knife. I have no idea what you see in that absolute brick of a DeWalt. L take imo.
Hard agee. These 2 knives aren't even in the same catagory to me, completely different things. And as a lefty as well, I use my fastback all day every day and nothing touches it. I've tried and hated a dozen other utility knives and I'll buy a dozen more fastbacks before i go back to anything else
@RDubya146 all good, I don't restrict comments, thanks for sharing. Fastback is a great knife but my next video solved my issue. My hands aren't soft, I just don't need to develop lizard skin to enjoy a tool. If it works for you that's great but another knife caught my favor and I made a vid for it. As for the belt clip you may not need or like it but I do. Dewalt actually dropped some new knives and I already one up did a video on it. Very pleased with a "fastback" style knife so of the 4 new styles I grabbed the DWHT10992
@Tangent. not sure about your hand size but with limited real estate the clip is something I don't want to give up. The curved bigger size allows me a solid grip and knowing I can apply all the pressure I need to. I'm glad it works for you the fastback is super smooth 👌 😎
😂 I scooped up the Tanto blade yesterday, it’s sweet as tea. Enjoy that blade brotha.
some people were complaining about the serrated parts...I'm like you see they have the straight drop point too? There's something for everyone lol You enjoy that tanto and don't loose any fingers jimmy!
