Sandro is like a teacher who changes your grade from F to A+ if you give him a legitimate reason. already fan of him
.
exactly the last 3 they both kinda agreed despite giving it different ratings
Is Sandro the Hispanic(?) chap guy with the neck tattoos?
If so, he has another fan here in the U.K. he knows his stuff, and is funny at the same time. Smart and funny. The best combination.
@@marksaunderson3042 yup thats him
Can I ask why his shirt tag says Miranda and not Sandro? I spent like five minutes thinking y'all meant someone else bc his shirt said Miranda haha
Sandro's cheeky little "that's how you get gas from your neighbors" killed me :D love that guy
I too was amused lol
same, that joke made me lose it
no more gasoline mouth for this guy
You can definitely tell he's done it before. Lmao
8:00
Sandro is a man of many talents. He's a mechanic and a comedian, and judging from his canine teeth, a vampire.
ah. i see someone else noticed the fangs. i'm a little jealous of him. it's always been my dream to have fangs
With the rest of his teeth being that straight, I have to assume those are implants
@@AnhDonoi i want to get fangs done. not sure if i should get implants or veneers. i want 2 uppers and 2 lowers for now
I love when people have littol fangs
@@HYPERxSONICxFANx2012saaaaaame
Sandro talking about ruining your pedicure while pulling an oil plug just shows that he's such an amazing mechanic that he is out here changing oil with his feet, incredible!
Not enough people caught that 😂
Glad to see Sandro being a regular now, he's such a funny guy with a good vibe
He should just join Donut. He fits in so well haha
He is really great and needs to be permanent.
Your a funny guy with a good vibe
His face when the vídeo appears 😂
Facts!
lmao when he said "and thats how you steal gas from your neighbour" i died the fact that the the more you know card popped up made it 100x better hahaha
Sandro is the maaaan! Whenever he's like "aah I mean, I've done this" *looks sheepish*
He says “I’ve done this” way too much 😂
Yuuuup, killed me too
@@Los3rGam3s dude he does! We need an end of season clip show of Sandro being the Man
I was eating, bad idea.
With the tire regrooving, you can see that they filled the newish tire's tread with something and are simply scraping it out.
It's like nothing 5 minute crafts does is real!😜
Yes, but you can do that with the tyre repair stuff and get extra height. But yes, not bald
@@LobbyDaLobster 5 minute crafts is hot garbage and straight up dangerous.
@@LobbyDaLobster yeah that's why I think it's a waste of time to feature them at all, since the logo alone is enough to dispel doubt on whether it's real or not
Yeah, where he peels it away at 15:16 and there's a sharp corner on the right. Absolutely bogus. Five minute craps strikes again.
I really like that you didn't just compile the stupidest things on the internet to flex on. The mixture of good ideas and bad ideas, the fact that some of the ideas are _almost_ good, all adds to your credibility and makes that the whole video more interesting.
I just love the humbleness in Sandro's eyes... Yet he is very cool. I just automatically feel compelled to respect every word this man says.
That's weird
Wich guy is he
@@putnamehereholdmadoodle The one in the thumbnail.. He is wearing a hat and is one of the mechanics.
@GerinHarada seems like there all really chilled out mechanics. This is a great channel. This is what youtube should be
He was scared of saying “then you do it”. Because he knows his dad would pull the belt out 😂 he knows, no talking back to parents 😂
For the oil one it would work great in desert places, I worked in a tire shop in phoenix and we had to do hot changes. One of the guys at the shop had a 3rd degree burn going from his hand all down his arm from doing them.
Okay this actually makes sense. I was like is dude really that afraid of dirty fingers working on that dusty ass car
It also may have been intended to prevent dropping the plug in the oil drain pan.
I know shops that won't let the mechanics, who started after 2012, touch/handle used oil without nitrite gloves. Insurance says it's been a proven cancer causing carcinogen since then, so it would open them up for future healthcare lawsuits.
I love how everyone is talking about mechanic stuff and Sandro is still thinking about theft lmfao
And the Venturi effect!
@@edherdman9973”The More You Know 🌈 “😂
The head/door opener thing works because the amount and shape of water in your head is roughly the right amount to act as an amplifier for the radio signal from the key fob. You can do the exact same thing with a gallon jug of water (or watery solution like milk, washer fluid, detergent, etc). Your head is essentially acting as an antenna for the signal.
Exactly what I was going to type
Indeed. In my experience the forehead works best.
It's crazy how good it works, the only downside being brain damage.
@@redrob6026 it doesnt give you brain damage lmao
@@redrob6026 Bro if that gave you brain damage, you'd be a vegetable just from listening to the radio
Sandro is that cool af uncle you’re always happy to kick it with and he’s always got the best stories and advice. Just has that good vibe
I think the reason for the zip tie on the cap for the oil pan was to help stop accidentally dropping it in the pan
I was coming to say this.
Yes, if it wasn´t for the fact he is actually tightening the thing (turning clockwise).
@@sjurgabrielI'm pretty sure the video just got flipped when he posted it.
the hack is good for hot oil, as it should be when doing a change.
@@sjurgabrielI am here to say the same thing. Looks to me like it was being tightened.
I feel like people who do the wrench on wrench crime have never thought of getting a long hollow pole and sticking it over the wrench for leverage. It's a whole lot safer and you can get way more leverage because you can make the wrench essentially longer just by sliding it over the wrench. I've used this method quite a few times because I like to keep my fingers and finger nails and not get blood blisters for when the wrenches slip off each other.
The love for Sandro is wild. Dude is awesome.
I’ve used the double wrench, but never seen the triple!
It’s like I always say: you can always get the job done with the right tool; but you can also always get the job done with enough of the wrong tools!
when i did some small landscaping/construction we’d always just use a metal pipe over the wrench for leverage, that way you don’t need to use a thick breaker bar in a tight space but you also don’t have to make a chain of tappet wrenches
@@harrisonbrand8985 I’ve done that one too. I even made a pipe that is partially flattened at one end so that the head of the wrench can fit into it.
Gotta use the right wrong tools though. In this case the wrong wrong tools will bend.
@@dougaltolan3017 The right ones are those with a warranty
@@emgriffiths1861borrowed*
13:00 Kyle Hill actually made a video on that specific topic; it actually works because the wavelength of the radio waves used in those keyfobs for your car are a similar ratio to the size of a human head, so providing a slight barrier that lines up with the wavelength amplifies the signal. Or something, it's been a while since I saw that one.
What you are observing is a true quantum effect. In short, the radiation emitted by the key causes the atoms in your brain (mostly the water) to oscillate. The net effect is range amplification. To describe this particular phenomenon it is useful to think of the matter in you head in terms of a waveform, not as as a particle. It works with a bottle or jug of water too.
You should not put this on your head unless you want to get cancer from it.
I remember in my apprenticeship in metal works, the very first thing our instructor told us 16 year olds was: DO NOT PUT THE COMPRESSED AIR PISTOL IN SOMEONES BUTT! Horrible accidents happened!
First lesson 😄
Why would you even put that idea out there in a room of 16 year olds….
I love Sandro, but it's great when there are more people reacting. Either way, these are quickly becoming my favorite vids on CZcams!
Came to say this, where the Hispanic uncle and the sssniperwolf mechanic 😂
Definitely missed Angelina, shes got a great vibe
The thing with the cat guard setup is that it doesnt have to make it impossible to get, it just has to make it less appealing than finding another car
you don't need to run faster than a tiger, you just need to run faster than whoever was with you.
i do that in competitive multiplayer games.
i call it the porcupine strategy.
make it so that targeting you is more work than targeting others for the same reward.
nothing discourages people more than making things tedious.
Same with basically all locks. There is no lock you can't break or pick given the right tool and no one to report you within 20 minutes. It's just to make it more tedious than an unlocked or lesser lock or hopefully loud enough to break that someone will report it.
@@kyab2815 considering all the videos on the Lockpicking Lawyer's channel i think most locks actually fail that mission pretty spectacularly
@@zilesis1 lock picking lawyer is a pro. Single pin picking isn't exactly a common skill especially at his level and that's one reason he usually specifies whether something is a low skill attack or not. There's a lot of things he can do because he has specially made tools but even then yeah a lot of locks sucks. They do often work to a degree though because often with home break ins it's not even the lock that's the failure point. They kick the door in or break a window not pick the lock because it's just easier for most people.
The one for the oil pan bolt, i feel like it kinda works to also make sure you don’t drop the bolt in the oil🤷🏻♂️
My thought exactly
If you do your own oil, then yeah maybe. If you are in the shop setting, then it's just a waste of literal time
sandro is easily one of my favorite people on this. He seems like a pretty chill dude
12:30 Reminds me of a funny time where a friend of mine wanted to use his remote start to warm his car up but he was too far away to get it to work. We both happened to be sousaphone players (Tuba that wraps around you), so he looked up at the bell on his, touched the fob to the brass and started his car from a literal football field away.
That's kinda awesome sending the fob signal through the tuba 😂
Thats so sick
Yeah if you do that hack with your actual head your more likely to get cancer.
@@auxc.6805 pretty sure thats impossible
@auxc.6805 just as likely to get cancer from your cell phone...0% chance
making this channel was a great decision guys!
Aaaaaagreed
"And that's how you steal gas from your neighbor!" - Sandro 😂
13:30 I love how this is the third time I've heard Sandro reference Magneto in these channel. Ofc a mechanic's favorite superhero is the one with metal manipulation powers 😂😂😂
Sandro is all of us. Guy is just awesome lol. An episode of sketchy and alleged things he's done I guarantee would be incredible hahahaha
Sandro has got to have a fan club at this point 😆 Please keep adding to this channel, love the content 👍👍
Another option for the bucket separation trick is to use water. Water doesn't compress, but it'll also find it's way into places. If you can blow air down into a stuck bucket, you can blast water down into the same place. So if you don't have an air compressor at home or lying around, you can crimp the end of a hose or use a hose nozzle and spray it at the seam where the two buckets are stuck together and you'll end up blasting enough water in there that it'll fill up, you'll be blasting more water in than it'll be able to push out on top of an empty vessel, like a bucket, will float on water if it's not compromised. So the water will try to find the easiest way out, which is not where it's coming in; oh hey, while it can't compress, it can shove this bucket that's limiting its space out of the way and make it float.
But my point is that using water from a hose is essentially the same thing for those who don't have an air compressor and it's doing it with a "thicker" fluid than air. The key is that more fluid is being shoved into the space between the buckets through the tiny gaps that are there with more pressure and speed than the fluid is able to initially flow out of the same space.
Just discovered this channel a couple days ago. I've got to admit, I'm HOOKED! Totally subbed. Been turning wrenches for nearly 30 years and have never seen another channel like this.
I’m so happy to finally see someone acknowledge the key fob on your head thing. I’ve been doing that for over 10 years and people always thought I was crazy.
I do it all the time with remote start when walking to my car so my ac has a little more time to cool here in the Texas heat
My wife thought I was crazy until she actually tried it. Now its second nature to her at times lmao
i put the fob on the bottom of my chin
If it's still too far away you can take off your shoes to properly ground yourself and if it still doesn't work just put one shoe on your head.
It was on Top Gear back in the day. Just imagine Clarkson doing it in a parking lot and going "ITS MAGIC"
Glad I just found this channel. What a fun and informative video! Love the mechanics here
3:21 classic father and i love 😂😂
"Cant separate a f*cking plastic bucket?.... no balls"
The joy on Sandro's face once he learned the bucket hack
You guys should make an episode every once in a while where you collect some of these and test em!
They have done a few on the other channel
that’s a good idea
that’s a good idea
For the hack at 6:54 I can see how it would be useful on very hot oil. I've worked at a shop where there was a "Fastlane" option where the customer would drive the car in and sometimes even then just wait in the lobby while we service the car, so we would put it straight on the hoist and drain it so the oil would sometimes be very hot so in that case it could be useful.
I usually just use a socket extension on a socket, keeps my fingers out of the way.
At 7:52 the idea of the air hose nozzle and Black syphon hose is to create a vacuum from with air pressure. With the nozzle inserted into the hose at the opposing angle a vacuum will be created which will pull gas from the upper tank. The air hose should be turned off well before the gas enters the lower tank.
Pretty sure the zip tie on the drain plug isn’t for keeping your hands clean. It’s for keeping the drain plug from falling into the oil catch pan if it slips out.
Same thought, kinda a good hack if you think about it.
@@munawerhayat-naqvi7409 weird, my hack is I just use my hands
Did oil changes 9hrs a day for seven months, i only see it being useful for when the plug is scorching hot, or for what Simon says
Was the drain plug in the clip reverse thread? He was turning it clockwise
@@nolanbroderick1234 you gonna zip tie every plug or stick a single brillo pad in the drain thing?
"And thats how you siphon gas from your neighbor."
-Sandro ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The first time I changed oil I dropped the drain plug in the in the bucket and had to fish it out. The zip tie might be handy for some one who can't keep a grip on it.
Have to remember there's a weight of oil trying to push it out
13:40 key fob hack , i used to do it on my neck . when i was on 25th floor, to make sure i locked the car , and it never worked, but did all the time when touched on my neck ! i heard that the water content in your body !
The remote unlocking thing is true. Jeremy Clarkson did it way back when on TopGear and at first I didn't believe him and then I tried it on my own car from over 100 meters away in pitch black abandoned airstrip at a festival and then i saw the blinkers light up, they previously werent and i wasnt moving at all.
Ya I’ve don’t this so many times. If you forget to lock the car and you go inside the house just put the FOB to your chin and it gives you more distance.
When I first heard about it the reason given was the water/fluid in your chest cavity and skull act as a magnifier for the waves
Yep. It’s a Top Gear hack.
If I remember correctly it's the water in your head and you can get the same result putting the remote against a jug of water.
I do this every time I need to find my car.
At 9:48 where they show the guy using three wrenches, there's a safer method that's been around for a long time. Get a chunk of steel pipe that can fit over the head of the wrench and use that to extend the handle. It's often nicknamed a cheater pipe because you're getting more leverage and as-such you're able to get a LOT of torque that you wouldn't have otherwise. I also say this because you could see in the clip that the middle wrench was flexing and I would be afraid of it snapping.
The pipe over the wrench is known as a Polish torque wrench!
Depending on the size of wrench that could be a very large pipe.
They also make leverage bars for wrenches that are flat and have two big teeth on the end that hold the wrench in. I use one all the time to break tie rod nuts.
When Justin asked if someone would be strong enough to pull the rope and start the car just made me imagine him pulling on the rope and ripping the car in half.
"And that's how you take gas from your neighbor"
That killed me.
8:02 Thanks Sandro I knew i could count on your Business Tips in a time like this!
Last time I was this early Science Garage was still being made
Sandro is awesome. Need to have him on more!
Honestly I've done the comrpessed air hack and the leverage hack, though we used a pipe over the wrench for more leverage.
Sandro shouting out the venturi effect, like carburetors rely on. Dude knows his stuff!
My dad was a truck driver for most of his adult life (he hauled cargo across most of Europe). When I was a kid, I would go with him for a week every summer holiday. I remember one time we were at the company's garage, and someone was re-grooving a tire. That destinct smell of molten rubber is something I will never forget. I'm reminded about it whenever someone is doing a burn-out. :)
10:40 We used to have a pipe in our home garage that was specifically for extra leverage on the wrecker bar, or the wrench (if it could fit). Here in the Great White North, every bolt has to be broken loose, unless it just rolled off the lot.
I remember times we used a 4ft breaker bar with a 6ft pipe over it and me standing on it bouncing to lossen a nut we heated up with a torch. Gotta love living in the rust belt working on old farm equipment.
13:50 it is also worth remembering that before firestone started selling inflatable tires like we have today most if not all tires were solid rubber. I can't remember if they had proper tread on old tires like that or if they had not figured that out yet but this could have been a legitimate thing because the rubber was thicker and sat directly on the rim.
They've added extra rubber here. They had groves from what i remember but not the run out lanes. Solid rubber isn't unheard of, military use, some motor scooters and things. I say that but they might still have steel cable in them depending. Tank tracks have solid rubber to protect metaled roads.
The inflatable tyre is an air suspension system more than anything, takes a lot of vibration out as well as being a bit like a spoked wheel. Relatively light too for efficiency compared to a pure steel and rubber wheel.
Keep bringing Sandro back, dude's really entertaining. I wouldn't mind seeing him mixed into other videos/content as well. Just seems to have a strong, nice personality for the camera.
That key fob to your head thing is legit. It's because of the water content in your head, it helps to amplify the radio waves. Same trick works with a water bottle instead of your head too!
Water doesn't amplify radio signals it absorbs them! That's how your microwave heats your food. If water would amplify radio signals it would be energy from nothing and the oceans would be boiling. This "hack" is complete nonsense.
Related to transferring air from the tires… had a job which had me running an old Freightliner FLB cabover with an air starter. The supply tank for the starter would leak down slowly, so some days you had to take air from your tires to fill it so you could start the engine.
I just found ur channel and am loving it. Thanks guys!
That tire was 100% suspect. Pause it 15:23 and you can see the rubber peeling off of the original grooves lol
You can also see the small details that the tool would not have been able to make.
Yeah, I was looking for that comment. ;-)
/sign
Been a mechanic for over 30 years. I have to say I love these videos and the techs/mechanics you get for your videos. Thumbs up
Love this channel. Sandro and Angelina are well cool. In fact all the guest mechanics are cool.
Now I have snapped wrenches doing the 2 and 3 wrench breaker bar crap. I can't even count the scars on my hands from them snapping. All I can say, use expensive wrenches with a lifetime warranty. Snap On always takes mine back. Now of course I retired about 15 years ago now.
Love this show and I'm binge watching the episodes now.
"You gonna fuck up your pedicure." Sandro a straight up G, lmao.
Daaaaang my man broke out the Venturi effect. Knowledge is power and dude knows some things! Loving this channel. Thanks for working hard y'all.
I learned the key-fob-to-the-head trick when I worked at a used car dealership where half the fobs constantly had nearly dead batteries, made short work of finding where a car was parked without walking the entire lot to get in range.
I was a radio operator when I was in the military. My understanding is that key fobs also use radio waves to send the signal to lock/unlock the doors. I can't think of any reason why holding a fob to your head magically makes it work better. My best guess would be something to do with helping direct the waves in a specific direction. That or making them bounce off of stuff (hilariously, you can bounce radio waves off a building to get in contact with someone).
Sandro is the boy, I bet he could tell some stories! 😂
Yes! Story time would be a great addition to this channel!
8:46 I think I could even look past the fact that Sandro is a real live vampire just because he probably turns any situation into a good time🤘🏼
01:37 - 02:40 I've seen this done a few times on some drift pigs/missiles.
Lots of added weight though, easier to make a lift point and bring a friend with a quick jack though for faster tire swaps on track days.
I know nothing about cars, period. I have been binge watching these videos. These men are so happy and down earth that I can stop watching. I’m learning a few things too. 😂
That ziptie on the oil drain plug: It's to make sure you don't drop the plug as it detaches as you're propably pushing on it to stop oil from pouring out before all the threads are cleared. I've dropped the plug a bunch of times.
Can't imagine it being to just spare a few drops of oil on your hand.
Could also be good for an in and out oil change shop, give your hand a little distance from the oil while it's still hot.
@@tristennichols1865 That does sound like a real thing as well!
The three wrench thing is scary. I use a piece of pipe, usually a car jack handle 👍🏼
Same. Not sure why they didn’t mention that method. It’s tried and true.
Pipe works great. I have a random pipe in the trunk of my car just in case. I tried using the tools that come with a new car and honestly I couldn't apply enough force to break the lug nuts. I didn't really want to jump on it. I figured if I ever had a flat tire I wouldn't be able to take it off to put on a spare without the extra leverage.
PSA: Check your spare tire pressure every once and a while. It won't do any good if it is flat.
That was a good inch and a half or 2" bolt head, not a lot of people have a chunk of 2" or more id pipe laying around lol
I put a 6 foot bar on a 1-1/2" wrench once and it still took two of us bouncing to break it loose but I'll only double up good quality wrenches. Cheapos WILL snap. Also if they start bending that much throw a coat or large cloth over them incase they fly. Better to be just bruised than blind.
Pipes don't fit big wrenches.. I have a 4 ft pipe that fits the end of my pipe wrench and up to like a 17mm wrench... I'm not trying to carry a 4 ft 3 inch pipe around with me too... it's to sloppy for the smaller tools and it's something I would next to never use.. I would have just put the wrench on the bolt and beat the wrench with a hammer or used heat.
the compressed air on the buckets trick also works for rubber handle bar grips! save yourself a ton of hassle
@12:20 Past experience with a CV boot tear, my car actually caught fire on the highway because of this situation. CV Axle grease was flung all over the back of the motor, the firewall material, and the exhaust flex pipe without my knowledge one summer day after work in 2018. I started to drive my car home and smelled something burning 15 mins into my trip, then saw smoke billowing out of the air vents and the hood, 2 minutes later the car was on fire on the side of the highway. Luckily I was only 2 miles from the nearest fire dept., they got the fire out quick, and I finished driving home, and I immediately went to the parts store and got a new cv axle boot to install, and went to the car wash and got all the excess grease off the car. :D
About the tire air thing: I've still got a nail/screw stuck in my tire from months ago. Didn't notice it until by accident, it looked really in there and worn down. No leak that I could tell.
Lots of love for Sandro, but I genuinely love all of the mechanics from the series!
Truly appreciate Jobes genuine knowledge and understanding of each video👌🏼 as a technician it's appreciated
I work on locomotives, and I'll tell ya 4 1 1/2" wrenches have saved me so many headaches. When you have bolts torqued down to 200+ foot pounds and you cant get the half inch impact on it a single breaker bar isn't going to cut it always. Especially because they sit for years without coming off. Most of the locomotives I work on are from the 70"s and I even work on some from the 40's, and not every bolt or nut comes off often. I recently broke a 15lb sledge hammer trying to get a breakhead bolt out of the bushings. We had to turn that bolt into liquid to get it out lol
Holding the key to your head def works, i used it in the past in the mountains. Like if the group splits and group A arrived at the car but group B is still walking towards the car and has the keys or something like that, def helps 👍
I always hit the link button when Sandro's there! Dude is awesome. Everyone needs a Sandro in their shop 😂
12:33 - the "car-remote on your head" thing is 100% real. It works because your head is mostly made of water, and water can amplify the specific RF signals from key fobs. Here's a video from Kyle Hill czcams.com/video/ZrIf0PArZu4/video.html
It's super easy to test for yourself. Next time you park, walk away from your car and keep clicking the lock button until it stops responding; then put your key fob against your neck/head and try locking it again. Nine times out of ten, it'll work.
Also I think you can use some water bottles
@@clion520 - yep, that should work too 👍 the main operating principle is the water and its amplification properties
Justin!!! What’s Good Bro! This you NC family! We miss you at the Mason but I’m glad to see you thriving doing what you love! Keep on Pushing Bro
I think this is the video which taught me about the car remote thing and how it works.
Sandro needs to be a part of every video
Same trick works for old stuck handlebar grips 02:53
I use service truck tires on my Jeep to get the height in a narrow profile. I bought and use a regroover because for whatever reason, the grooves on the center portion are not as deep as when you get out to the sides (I measured when new). So I regrooved once and get twice the life out of them. I have never tried twice and doubt I ever will.
I remember a newspaper advertising a regroover here back in the 60's for just passenger cars.
Being Generation X I have lived the birth of car security. 13 min into your video I have placed the car alarm fob to my chin to find my car from afar many times. This totally works! Sadly now I just check my phone to see where my car is. At least I can still use a paper map to find my way. great content fellas!
I would love to see Jeremiah explain how that key fob hack works. Never heard of it until now!
I agree! Essentially the cavities (not necessarily empty) in your body (in this case his head) act as a resonance chamber for the RF signal from your wireless remote. Cool hack!
If you're interested, Kyle Hill actually posted a video about a year ago explaining why it works. I had to go back and look but it appears to be called "Can Your Brain Amplify a Car Key?" I assure you, despite it's clickbait title and thumbnail, he does a good job explaining the science. Been about that time since I've seen it, but it has to do with the FOB's wavelength and how the human body is a multiple of that wavelength so we basically can act like an antenna.
It uses your skull as an antenna, it works for things like weak fm and am signals too.
@Ryster's Tech I noticed that when I was younger if you grabbed your radio's antenna it would increase your signal.
@@jonpinkstonI was just about to comment this, when I used to have that fm transmitter and it was acting funny, it would sound better when I would get close to it while touching it. Interesting indeed.
we used to use re-grooving to make our own offroad tires for grass autocross
The zip tie in the oil plug is good for one reason, I’ve dropped a few plugs in the pan just bc I’m all hot and trying to get the plug out from a weird place while I’m under the car
Sandro BLEW ME AWAY with the "Venturi Effect" knowledge. 😂
on god😂
ever seen a carburetor? basic school physics.
@dave161141 lol "you didn't know that, I knew that. I'm so smart".
@@DR-sv8ke nah this is a reach. if you've ever worked on a carburetor you know what venturi is. It's pretty basic mechanic knowledge.
@@CRneu cool story, man.
This is fast becoming my favourite Donut production :)
I have done the double wrench a lot over the years, I have a bad shoulder and the double wrench saves me straining.
The car fob to the head trick absolutely works! I do it all the time!
So glad this channel was created, seriously love this idea
I appreciate having Sandro on more often but Imma need Paul too. I love his friendly vibe
For the oil plug: just had pressure against it as you loosen it. And once its unthreaded you move real fast.
13:20 This works because your key fob operates on a frequency that resonates with our watery spherical heads. Basically, our heads are good antennas for key fobs. This also works for garage door openers.
I'm back to the channel after a 4-5 month break...Sandro is such a great addition to the channel. Such a likeable and funny dude
That guy using packing tape for a C.V. boot.... I love it! I have used a plastic sack and hose clamps before and it lasted surprisingly a long time! This was back when I was dirt poor!
