Kudos for the safety leadership. I bet a lot of our community here knows this, but just in case it's worth pointing out that dB (decibels) is a logarithamic scale. What that means is that the different between 70 to 90 db isn't 20 more, it's 100X more. So going from ambient 38 db to 94 db, is almost 400,000X more powerful sound. Some additional benchmarks to the ones ScoutCrafter illustrated so well, the one for my generation was The Who rock concert at London's Valley stadium in 1976 was an astonishing 126 dB (now you know why us older folk ask "the who?") Seriously, a Boeing or Airbus plane's turbojet engine's peak at around 140 dB at takeoff. No hearing protection would be a bad thing! My only other comment is if you watch carefully, those earprotectors he's using here are a relative improvement of -22 dB. This is the most important point! The louder it is, the better your ear protection needs to be. In front of his 94 dB belt sander with his ear protectors, at best he is hearing 72 db. If he wanted ambient 38-40 dB, he'd need total protection of -56 db. You can improve hearing protection by doubling up with in-ear foam protectors and the head muffs on top. As I also used to enjoy the shooting sports, I have 3 pair hanging around in different places in my shop - cheaper than one visit to an audiologist!
Wow Marc!!!! I had no idea that the scale was logarithamic! In fact I have no idea what logarithamic even means! LOL! I was using the inexpensive ear muffs today and they work awesome! I have some really good ones from my competitive shooting days. I use the soft ear plugs when using the chainsaw and the radio/ear-muffs when riding the mower. Both work great! 99% of my tools are quiet and don't require protection but my belt sander is just annoyingly loud! LOL (and I spend hours in front of it!) Thanks for the great info Marc!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree on hearing protection. In my teenage and early twenties. I worked in a steel warehouse doing maintenance. I did a lot of welding,grinding and a lot of other noisey work. Didn't have ear protection. Started noticing my hearing going when I was a scout leader. I couldn't hear the parents talking at our family meeting when I was in front of them. Now I pull my hearing aids out at night to listen to Scout Crafter with my ear buds. Thanks
Hi Glen! One day I was amazed to find out that we all lose our high pitch hearing after our 30's... There is a tone replicator app that shows how youngsters can hear tone clearly that no adult can! =D It's a real eye opener! Thanks!!!!!
LOL Thanks Phil! We had this guy at work who used to wear his regular glasses, then put safety glasses over them, followed by goggles and finally a face shield... No joke! The funny thing is I heard he got injured at the drill press because one of his eye protections fogged upend he couldn't see properly. Can't make this stuff up!! =D
I use to polish brass draw dies for stamping radiator tanks. They had to be polished to mirror smooth. File, then sand paper, then die stones followed by felt pads and compound. In 1978 the boss got us a Dremel rotary tool. That was like Heaven. Still had to do the filing and stones, but no more hours with a felt block. 😎
I love my Dremels Dave! Power buffing and polishing is a dream! My Dad was a Oil Truck driver and in the summer it was slow so he would Simonize 2 cars a day by hand!!!!! He was a bull!!!! Years later he got a buffing machine and used to smile thinking how easy it was! =)
Nice sequence demonstrating the sharpening of side cutters. Maybe titanium tools are useful in a spark free environment - especially since beryllium-copper alloy is now considered toxic.
Safety is never boring, I went to a vocational High School (Brooklyn Automotive) and before each new shop class, we had to read and write the safety rules! I'm sorry I didn't hang on to a copy, although I doubt a mimeographed sheet of paper would have lasted !!!
I agree, however there is always that one guy who wears so much equipment that he winds up getting injured because he didn't hear the forklift coming! =D Thanks Vince!!!!
These mid-week vid's are always great. Nice piece on hearing protection, too. I was watching this on my iPad and accidentally bumped a thumbnail for another one of your videos. It was "A Ring For Rich" and I had not seen it before. Even 6 years ago, your videos were entertaining and informative. And, of course, you had a ring sizer. Nice thing to do for your buddy. 👍🏻
Thanks Robert! My early videos were a work in progress, however there are some good ones thrown in there! This one was when I hit 6K subs and I still enjoy it... czcams.com/video/EzULv2GQbWI/video.html
I really enjoyed today's video. So much stuff! Re. safety, you ain't kidding about eye protection. That's one area where I never take a chance. I have a sound meter app on my phone and you'd be surprised how loud different situations are. I was in a school and the fire alarm registered over 100dB. That's freakin' loud. Great video today!
That's exactly what they're for. Imprex specifically make MRI-safe tools and kits as well as non-sparking bronze tools for use in flammable atmospheres.
...and a tangential comment - if you've never seen what an MRI or CT machine look like naked, you should search for pictures of what they look like without covers. For me, totally NOT intuitive - they don't look anything like the sleek medical devices I've spent 10 years under!!
I work with MRI and we have a whole set of titanium tools, which are locked in manager's office because they are : 1) brittle : I broke a Ti screwdriver trying to repair my office door... 2) somewhat expensive (5k for a tool set is a tiny fraction of the cost of some drugs we work with ....)
Great info on the Mother's polish and also a great tutorial for buffing by hand. 250.00 !?!? Glad I don;t have that place only to shop for tools! You would think specialty item or not, for that price it should be able to keep an edge! Another great 15 minutes - looking forward to the next John!😊😊😊
I was hoping,you were going to surprise us with a new belt sander after saying it noisy..haha! PPE is very important,at the big green combine factory we use DB blockers which they inject foam into your ear canal and use that as a mold to make fitted ear plugs,better than the foams,I use them at the home shop too,and use them under my muffs at the gun range.
I have similar ear protection, hanging up right handy for when you want it. I used to have to wear ear plugs in the factory, and those are better, but they're annoying and get dirty, and even if you clean them, they get gross. I like the big ones that look like old hi-fi stereo headphones, and use them often, they're especially good for mowing the lawn or running the angle grinder
James! 5 years ago I bought a pair of Radio/Ear-muffs and they are the best investment I ever made! I mow 2 acres of grass upstate and use them all the time! They work great and you have Music too!! Really good to have for wearing outside! =)
Your hearing segment was very good. Learned awhile ago that hearing loss is cumulative and permanent, so I always use protection around loud equipment. Good video and thanks.
Hi Jake! I did a couple safety videos covering more aspects but the hearing one is new to me because I always buy quite machines.. That belt sander is just too loud! =) Thanks!!!!!!
I used the Mother’s mag and aluminum polish on my cars frosted over headlight lens. There’s a number of videos on it and I was stunned how well it worked. My cars lights were almost yellow in color from the oxidation that takes place on the lens and I smeared the mag and aluminum polish on a small buff that was chucked in my drill and within seconds the yellow haze was gone and the lens became crystal clear and it even left a smooth coating on the lens. I recommend it to anyone with hazed over lenses. My hearing is getting worse as I age and we spoke about how young people can hear certain frequencies up until their 20’s and then it starts to fade on them and young people know this and they communicate and cheat in school with this cricket app on their phones and the teacher can’t hear it because they are older.
The permissible exposure limit put out by osha is 90 DB. So at 90 employers are required to supply hearing protection and enforce employees to wear them. All “PELs” are measured over an 8 hour work day. So as long as your machines aren’t running for 8 hours a day five days week there should be any permanent damage or hearing loss. But it is always recommended to wear heating protection any time machinery is being used. I am an OSHA inspector. Just thought I’d throw in my two cents lol. Keep up the great work sir! Love it!!
Hi Brian!!!! You are so right! I do notice that also tone plays a part in how the sound effects certain people! I worked in a loud diesel shop but the loud noises were all low frequency and never bothered us... The belt sander and 2 stroke engines are higher more annoying frequencies and give me numbness in the ear if unprotected... I'm sure the 70's Rock and Roll blasting didn't help things! LOL
Haha so true! I believe a study I read once said that a modern rock concert in the front row would have up to 180DB. Craziness lol. Hearing protection is never a bad thing!
Great content, as usual! Have you done something like a "toolbox tour" in the past? I know I'd be fascinated to get a glimpse of how you store your restorations.
Terrific content..., as usual 👍 Been using a weed whacker in my yard for years. Couple yrs ago noticed my right ear would be ringing and even hurting as long as 48 hours after yard work. Been wearing hearing protection ever since. No more problem.
Absolutely! I have special ear plugs for my Chainsaw and always wear radio-ear-muffs when weed whacking... I always hated that noise from 2 strokes!!!!!!! =D
Get a battery-powered weed whacker - you'll be glad you did, and you can start 2 hours earlier without getting those annoying calls from your neighbors.
I am no safety Sally at all. Now I'm bad hearing (and have been for the biggest part of my life) and stupid me never used ear protection (figured it couldn't get much worse). Then I developed this constant beep and since that I grab the hearing protection first thing if I'm working with machinery. When it's in your system it is really not all that bad. For me the beep is worse then decreasing hearing, I'm happy to say I got it more under control now maybe because of the hearing protection so thanks for bringing it up and keep up the good work!
I like the saftey Sally. I am the one always telling people to use eye protection and ear protection. The titanium side cutters were cool but on my budget the channel locks will work. I remember as a kid me Dad having me hand polish some aluminium wheels. After the third one I was cursing the Mother's brand polish. All four looked real nice when I got done. Great video!👍
John: I use to work for Timet in Henderson NV. At that time titanium was used for aircraft and high pressure pipe in Russian subs, we purchased a lot Russian Sub pipe scrap. I do not remember the Titanium being known for holding an edge. There were many Titanium formulas and I am sure many more today. Titanium is a wonderful metal
I have hearing loss from working around power tools for years. I always wore hearing protection even when I was laughed at. I had Tinnitus at the age of 16. That when I first heard beard cheeping and people talking. I am 60 now and I am happy I have protected my hears over the years. I have other friends even with hearing aides are lost . Protect you eyes
Hi scout, whith regards to hearing protection, It's not being a safety Sally, we should use it when exposed to loud noises, once you've lost part or all of your hearing it never comes back, I was exposed to loud noises in my past and didn't use any ear muffs, as a result I now have to wear hearing aids , when I'm in my workshop I wear them now so I don't lose any more, it's a bit late for me, but not too late for you guys out there, so step up and MUFF up.lol. those cutters were $250 , wow! Must have been for a special job. For me it's tool steel all the way. Thanks for the video Scout,best wishes.Stuart.
OH my! Knock on wood, once I went with Apple products my computer problems aren't as frequent... When I was using my regular computers I was always having issues! =)
Randy- My Dad used to use Dupont No.7 Polish products. He would start with Rubbing compound, then go to polishing compound and finish off with Rally Wax. You couldn't put a towel on any part of the car without it sliding off!!!! =D The good old days... (Pre clear-coat) =D
Stephen- The painter at work turned me on to this... Best Aluminum polish EVER! www.4statetrucks.com/polishing/semi-truck-busch-super-shine-aluminum-polish_8069.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI163Zjq_46QIVBeiGCh1T5wWBEAQYASABEgK-FvD_BwE
Screaming routers,,sreaming jointers, screaming tablesaw, screaming dust collectors, they will take their toll over time. Eye protection is just a given. Hearing protection should be also.We all want to hear when the bell rings for a new ScoutCrafter video.
I love my Donner titanium pliers. They have carbide inserts for the cutters. They are the perfect tool for removing hooks from saltwater fish. Great video
Nice tips today John especially the one with hearing protection I’ve lost a lot of hearing working in ships engine rooms when I was young which I will never get back. And I guess those titanium side cutters have a purpose but I would never buy a set or would need a set in my line of work.
My Dad was amazing when it came to polishing anything... When we were young, to make extra money he would simonize 2 cars a day by hand! He did it for exercise he said and he was a bull... Thanks!
A while back I just picked up some earmuffs myself Scout. I've always said Scott when you do good God will bless you God knows your heart 😇👍.. I know when you do something you do it from the bottom of your heart and with pleasure you enjoy it.. SO GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS...
Hi Scout Crafter it's pretty hard to beat channellock pliers reasonable priced you can get them in almost any hardware store sometimes on sale. Snapon are great too but kind of expensive. Titanium pliers are probably for a special job where you can't use the others .
Dean!!!!!!! Sorry it took so long to get to your great stuff! It was all great!!!!!!! I can't wait for someone to walk in to the museum and ask for you and say "Scoutcrafter sent me" LOL Thanks again so much Dean!!!
I use my dad's old shooting ear protectors whenever I used loud machinery . I keep a pair of audible ear plugs on me, they cost me $15, but you can have a conversation with them. While the foam ones are always," What did you say???" I've damaged my glasses before when a rock chip hit it, I'm glad my glasses protected me. But I have the false hope they are not really safety glasses. So now I use a face shield to protect my glasses, since my lenses are crazy expensive to replace. When I was visiting Japan the construction sites all had DB meters, so not to piss off adjacent neighbors.
Hi SC, I have been watching all your content recently on a 'smart tv' due to a change in circumstance. Usually I would use a PC like right now. The point is, my smart tv gives no option for a thumbs up or comment, so, if you see a dip in these areas but hits are still good; keep that in mind as surely I am not alone.
Congrats on the new TV! I want to get one of those so bad! That is the reason I make sure to download all my videos in 1080! Thanks so much for letting me know! -=) Enjoy the new TV!!!!!!!
Wow! Crazy price for pliers!! Great tip on using hearing protection. I know I don't use it enough! Funny that after your video I was on Craigslist and saw a Stanley 700 vise like yours for $30. Didn't get it though. Lol! Surprised right? Great mid-week Mosh SC!
Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish is the gold standard - check out the Sweet Project Cars channel for a variety of polishing and restoration uses, including headlights. The Titanium cutters are essential for any explosive or corrosive work environment. Drop a pair of steel Channelocks while working on a gas line, then you'll appreciate the difference. As to sound protection, hearing loss is cumulative, that is, once your hearing is damaged, it doesn't get better. A side benefit of exposure to really loud noises is tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. I used to shoot a lot with free, military surplus ammo as a teenager, and after one long day of shooting with my buddies with no effective hearing protection, I not only lost a lot of my hearing, but my ears started ringing and they haven't stopped yet - that day of shooting was more than fifty years ago. I got some pretty good hearing aids at a warehouse club recently (a pair for only $2,600 - what a deal) and was amazed at the sounds I had been unable to hear for half a century. Don't pinch pennies on ear protection! P.S. Thanks Scoutcrafter for bringing this to our attention. When I was younger, I once had a job scraping old paint off of asbestos siding prior to repainting, and I wore a mask. My boss didn't want to be seen as a Safety Sally, and refused to ever wear a mask while scraping or sanding. He died more than thirty years ago from lung cancer, but he was no Safety Sally - he went out like the Marlboro Man, and at about the same time.
SC, not sure you are aware, but My Mechanics also does some awesome restorations, as do you. You should check him out. BTW, you got me hooked on tool restoration too. I'm still learning, thanks to you and others like you! I love your videos. They are informative and educational, Thanks for all you do.
Love the side cutters some people sacrifice weight for durability I will take the Channellocks over anything quality side cutters. I have some earbuds I listen To music when I’m on the sander ect was never concerned with hearing its Not till we get a bit older that we start to worry ha ha 😜. I have been looking At the mothers polish for a while now down here in little old nz it’s a bit on the Pricey side but it did a fabulous job so I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and get some Great video John god bless take care 🙏🔧🛠🇺🇸
I have several sets of hearing protection around the shop, just so I can't give myself an excuse. Also have smaller sets for when my daughter ventures out there with me. I also have a DB meter out there, I think my loudest combination is a router with shopvac attached :)
MEAD? I have to look into that! Lots of times with the belt sander it's the bearing and belt whine... When I move I am going to get a bunch of new tools... Quiet ones! LOL
I use those 3M Worktune headphones that do a dam good job at keeping the noise level down but not crazy heavy or bulky so ya dont look like a "slow kid" with a helmet on. Not sure if they are marketed as hearing protection or not but being able to blue tooth music off my phone is kinda nice!
I have done flooring repairs in rooms with MRI machines the magnets on these machines are no joke you have to hold on tight to your metal tools or they will fly out of your hands. If you worked these machines titanium tools would come in handy.
Mid week mosh the new name for Wednesday's videos lol. I love the moshes they are the best. Thanks Scout =D. The price is crazy lol. It's like Benchmade knives. Very awesome but expensive. You should hit that company up scout. Lot of them will sharpen them for free :3
In demolition School in the army we had to use Cutters that were anti-magnetic and we also had to use knives that were anti-magnetic as well. We were not allowed to wear anything outdoors near the demolition cord or any of the explosives it was raised in the static electricity. None of our clothes could contain any wool. Sounds like that's what the titanium Cutters were for. Once our knives became dull we had to throw them away, we could not sharpen them. As soon as you try to sharpen the blade you magnetize it.
@@ScoutCrafter I agree. It was an Army course I got sucked into and after I was done with it I never got near anything else again that went boom except my weapon.
I have two pair of snap on side cutters with long handles. They are twice as long as normal side cutters. I love these things and I cant go back to regular length handles. I cant! I wont! lol I can cut through almost anything with them. They will cut a battery cable no problem.
What did you say??? Yep, I’m paying the price with my hearing now too. If I can add another tip, ear goggles (as my wife calls them) are pretty cheap so I have a couple of pairs in my shop. One pair hang on my cold saw, another on my lathe cause it’s noisy and another pair on my main work bench. I have found that if I have to go get them then I get lazy and don’t bother for quick jobs but if they’re within arms reach I tend to use them all the time. Hopefully I can stop further hearing loss. When I hear (pardon the pun) titanium tools I just think NASA or maybe bomb disposal. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Have you ever tried the little orange ear plugs? They're made of a spongey material that fits to your ear. I use them at work all the time. Way less hassle than a big set of safety muffs.
The side cutters would be perfect for delicate electronic work around magnetic-sensitive materials. Bits of solder, plastic and copper wouldn't be any trouble for the titanium. Titanium is extremely difficult to get done right - if you're interested in how it's used in bicycles you can check GCNTech's video on "7 Things You Didn't Know About Titanium" where they explain a bit of its properties and manufacturing difficulties. I once almost got some titanium ratchets off ebay but I was outbid. They were made by a company that manufactured mostly fasteners for NASA, and folded in the late 90s after they were caught lying about the ratings or something.
I fell into the Titanium bug years ago and wanted all stuff made from the magic material... I soon realized it wasn't all it was cut up to be. It has it's place for sure but at some price! =) Thanks!!!!
Great show! Well done segment on hearing! I liked the polishing instruction. Is titanium like stainless steel? If you use a regular wire brush on stainless, it rusts. Will titanium react to the iron file?
Hi Dennis, I really don't know! I was shocked at how "soft" the jaws were on these cutters! Usually the file skates across a hardened jaw but the titanium cut like butter!!!! =O
Woah!! Nice n red, no wonder he sent it to you =) Check out colonel brassy polish, I use it on Kirby vacuums to get them to be all shiny again. I won a pair of snap on cutters like you have there but they have long extended handles, I was thinking about see'ing if you could fix them or maybe warranty them out but now I know what file to use =)
Beryllium -copper, bronzed, and titanium tools are all non-magnetic and can be used in an MRI ,magnet room without them becoming a dangerous missile drawn to the magnet bore. that is heir principle market. Beryllium copper and bronze tools are also non-sparking so are used in flammable atmospheres as well.
Wouldn't it be great if tools were all just straight steel rods without nooks and crannies and weird curves to sand around? Enjoyed the video. Quick question, would that polish be similar to Flitz? Same basic thing, you think?
Hi Ben! Yes! All polish is just abrasives captive in some gel, liquid, wax or paste. Some fancy polishes add chemicals but it's the abrasive that does the shining. Years ago Dupont made a line of No. 7 Auto polished and waxes. Rubbing, polishing compounds, Chrome polish, Buffing compound.... They were all great and just had different abrasives like sandpaper grit. Mothers is just a find compound similar to polishing compound. I could get that same shine with 5 different polishes I have. =)
Those ear muffs are good for wearing outside, when you work on the yard. Mowers, edgers, & chain saws are noisy! Also, you won't be able to hear yourself scream, when you injure yourself! Safety third. =O
Great Advice on Hearing Protection? I worked inside pipe organs for years as a tuner. I have some hearing loss beginning to make itself known. It's annoying!! PS...Dodged the Dorian Bullet!!
Bill!!!! I was just mentioning that! I'm so glad the hurricane lost strength... Now honestly, the news gave everyone grey hair and ulcers and high blood pressure over the last week! Now they tell you that you were smart for watching and being informed! ???? I went thru that too many times, now when a storm approaches I watch everything BUT the news! LOL Great stuff! Thank God!
@@ScoutCrafter It's always a tough call...so many variables! The storm tracked further east....It could just as easily have tracked further west. What some folks consider hype is what a storm is capable of when they look at it 5 days in advance of arrival. I'm never sure how much I really want to know. In the end, with Dorian, it worked out. Thank God for that!!
Scout. DB metering is so basic that the last one I got was a free app on my android. Oddly, occasiomslly, I encounter super loud bus announcements and drivers constantly deny they can adjust volume. 2 days after I got my meter on my phone, I found a super loud bus, and when I held up the meter to a speaker (90) the driver saw me and the volume came down.
@@ScoutCrafter the point is we can all have DB meters now, and use them. Every viewer with an android, or about to once they understand how over Apple is, can easily get free apps..
I think those pliers would be great for cutting plastic not metal. Those Gunpla nerds and their pliers. Others saying MRI or sensitive machines checks out too. Titanium is light and strong but edges are such a science. With the knife craze going strong people love their knife metals. S30V and S90V and a hundred more.

You have the scales set for grains not grams, it's ok though.
LOL Spencer I didn't even realize that! I never use that scale! Thanks!!!!!!!!
Haven't I seen scales like that on Cops?
Yeah, Spencer, at more than 2 1/2 pounds, only Shaq would call those pliers lightweight.
Wow! Eye protection and Ear/hearing protection, yes, I SEE! No Fooling Thanks for the reminder!

I expect the titanium pliers are for working on e.g., MRI machines. Nothing magnetic allowed near MRI machines.
Dave.
LV_Woodturner; Good Call where else would you use a $250 pair of pliers but on a machine that can cost as much as $1,000,000. plus!
@@Brooklyn-bn5go LOL So true! That and NASA!

Hello Sean! I use the same ones when using my Chainsaw! Awesome! Thanks!
That horn just killed me...🧰🥽🧯
Great video on explaining how to polish without power tools
I have similar ear protection, hanging up right handy for when you want it. I used to have to wear ear plugs in the factory, and those are better, but they're annoying and get dirty, and even if you clean them, they get gross. I like the big ones that look like old hi-fi stereo headphones, and use them often, they're especially good for mowing the lawn or running the angle grinder
James! 5 years ago I bought a pair of Radio/Ear-muffs and they are the best investment I ever made! I mow 2 acres of grass upstate and use them all the time! They work great and you have Music too!! Really good to have for wearing outside! =)
Thanks for the wonderful video and the tips on polishing.
Your hearing segment was very good. Learned awhile ago that hearing loss is cumulative and permanent, so I always use protection around loud equipment. Good video and thanks.
There's a lot of good info in this mid-week mosh. Especially liked seeing that in lieu of power tools "elbow grease" could do such a nice job.
Hi Rick! Hand polishing is a real task but very satisfying when done!!
Thanks for the buffing demonstration and your tips.
That was all new to me about titanium tools. Thanks.
Scout - thanks for bringing safety into the conversation. Safety is more important than anything else.
Hi Jake! I did a couple safety videos covering more aspects but the hearing one is new to me because I always buy quite machines.. That belt sander is just too loud! =) Thanks!!!!!!
Really like your videos. Keep'em coming. Always glad to see quality content.
I used the Mother’s mag and aluminum polish on my cars frosted over headlight lens. There’s a number of videos on it and I was stunned how well it worked. My cars lights were almost yellow in color from the oxidation that takes place on the lens and I smeared the mag and aluminum polish on a small buff that was chucked in my drill and within seconds the yellow haze was gone and the lens became crystal clear and it even left a smooth coating on the lens. I recommend it to anyone with hazed over lenses.
My hearing is getting worse as I age and we spoke about how young people can hear certain frequencies up until their 20’s and then it starts to fade on them and young people know this and they communicate and cheat in school with this cricket app on their phones and the teacher can’t hear it because they are older.
LOL Yes Joe! The Cricket ring is for youngsters!!!!! LOL
The permissible exposure limit put out by osha is 90 DB. So at 90 employers are required to supply hearing protection and enforce employees to wear them. All “PELs” are measured over an 8 hour work day. So as long as your machines aren’t running for 8 hours a day five days week there should be any permanent damage or hearing loss. But it is always recommended to wear heating protection any time machinery is being used. I am an OSHA inspector. Just thought I’d throw in my two cents lol. Keep up the great work sir! Love it!!
Hi Brian!!!! You are so right! I do notice that also tone plays a part in how the sound effects certain people! I worked in a loud diesel shop but the loud noises were all low frequency and never bothered us... The belt sander and 2 stroke engines are higher more annoying frequencies and give me numbness in the ear if unprotected... I'm sure the 70's Rock and Roll blasting didn't help things! LOL
Haha so true! I believe a study I read once said that a modern rock concert in the front row would have up to 180DB. Craziness lol. Hearing protection is never a bad thing!
Great content, as usual! Have you done something like a "toolbox tour" in the past? I know I'd be fascinated to get a glimpse of how you store your restorations.
Great show like always.
Thanks
Terrific content..., as usual 👍
Been using a weed whacker in my yard for years. Couple yrs ago noticed my right ear would be ringing and even hurting as long as 48 hours after yard work. Been wearing hearing protection ever since. No more problem.
Absolutely! I have special ear plugs for my Chainsaw and always wear radio-ear-muffs when weed whacking... I always hated that noise from 2 strokes!!!!!!! =D
Get a battery-powered weed whacker - you'll be glad you did, and you can start 2 hours earlier without getting those annoying calls from your neighbors.
Great tutorial! Thanks for all the information especially on hearing protection.
Great mid week mish mosh. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
I am no safety Sally at all. Now I'm bad hearing (and have been for the biggest part of my life) and stupid me never used ear protection (figured it couldn't get much worse). Then I developed this constant beep and since that I grab the hearing protection first thing if I'm working with machinery. When it's in your system it is really not all that bad. For me the beep is worse then decreasing hearing, I'm happy to say I got it more under control now maybe because of the hearing protection so thanks for bringing it up and keep up the good work!
Hi Alex, I always tried to keep only quiet equipment in my shop but like you said sometimes one gets snuck in on you! =D Thanks!
You are a master of all you survey.
I like the saftey Sally. I am the one always telling people to use eye protection and ear protection. The titanium side cutters were cool but on my budget the channel locks will work. I remember as a kid me Dad having me hand polish some aluminium wheels. After the third one I was cursing the Mother's brand polish. All four looked real nice when I got done. Great video!👍
Hi Rob! I am like you! I wouldn't trade my channellocks for titanium anything! =D
Greetings from Colorado, I always learn things watching your Videos, Thank You
John: I use to work for Timet in Henderson NV. At that time titanium was used for aircraft and high pressure pipe in Russian subs, we purchased a lot Russian Sub pipe scrap. I do not remember the Titanium being known for holding an edge. There were many Titanium formulas and I am sure many more today. Titanium is a wonderful metal
Great Video I have never come across a set of Channel Lock side cutters that small.
I want your workshop! Also good job in the safety department.
Love the channel👍.. nice. Job
Thanks Joe!!!!!
I have hearing loss from working around power tools for years. I always wore hearing protection even when I was laughed at. I had Tinnitus at the age of 16. That when I first heard beard cheeping and people talking. I am 60 now and I am happy I have protected my hears over the years. I have other friends even with hearing aides are lost . Protect you eyes
Thanks for sharing your talents (Doug in Ga) enjoyed the video
Hi scout, whith regards to hearing protection, It's not being a safety Sally, we should use it when exposed to loud noises, once you've lost part or all of your hearing it never comes back, I was exposed to loud noises in my past and didn't use any ear muffs, as a result I now have to wear hearing aids , when I'm in my workshop I wear them now so I don't lose any more, it's a bit late for me, but not too late for you guys out there, so step up and MUFF up.lol. those cutters were $250 , wow! Must have been for a special job. For me it's tool steel all the way. Thanks for the video Scout,best wishes.Stuart.
Hi Stuart! You are so right! Thanks!!!!!
Those titanium cutters look very interesting. Now my backup computer is acting up. Yikes. - Kathie
OH my! Knock on wood, once I went with Apple products my computer problems aren't as frequent... When I was using my regular computers I was always having issues! =)
Good project 👍
Nice work. nice polish.
Randy- My Dad used to use Dupont No.7 Polish products. He would start with Rubbing compound, then go to polishing compound and finish off with Rally Wax. You couldn't put a towel on any part of the car without it sliding off!!!! =D The good old days... (Pre clear-coat) =D
I agree I also use the mothers mag and aluminum polish for my old 1947 to 1960s power tools. I also use Nevr-Dull to polish as well!
Stephen- The painter at work turned me on to this... Best Aluminum polish EVER! www.4statetrucks.com/polishing/semi-truck-busch-super-shine-aluminum-polish_8069.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI163Zjq_46QIVBeiGCh1T5wWBEAQYASABEgK-FvD_BwE
Screaming routers,,sreaming jointers, screaming tablesaw, screaming dust collectors, they will take their toll over time. Eye protection is just a given. Hearing protection should be also.We all want to hear when the bell rings for a new ScoutCrafter video.
Hi Lou! Oh those routers!!!! They really get deep in the ear canal! LOL
I love my Donner titanium pliers. They have carbide inserts for the cutters. They are the perfect tool for removing hooks from saltwater fish.
Great video
Joe! The carbide cutters would make these awesome! The Titanium cutters here are butter soft! Thanks!!!!
I said the same thing when that price popped up "What". Crazy money for snippers. Nice spark plugs.
Nice tips today John especially the one with hearing protection I’ve lost a lot of hearing working in ships engine rooms when I was young which I will never get back. And I guess those titanium side cutters have a purpose but I would never buy a set or would need a set in my line of work.
Love the route 66 hat!!! Hand polished is the best polish!
My Dad was amazing when it came to polishing anything... When we were young, to make extra money he would simonize 2 cars a day by hand! He did it for exercise he said and he was a bull... Thanks!
@@ScoutCrafter He sounds like my kind of guy! Ty SC!
That Stanley vise is incredible. One day I'll come across one!
Jesse I am shocked you haven't come across a few already!
@@ScoutCrafter haha!!!
The tool guy at Burgess Antiques has had one on the display for a year or so. It's a knock off and he want's too much. 😎
Mothers mag polish also works on your newer car headlights to remove the haze
So does toothpaste
I use it for my headlights, and even for Polishing some more serious paint scratches
Hi Scout , I Use Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish all the Time . Been Using for About 25+ years . Great Stuff . Great Video also works On Tar !
Hi Wayne! It's nice to see some things stay the same! I love that stuff!!!!
A while back I just picked up some earmuffs myself Scout.
I've always said Scott when you do good God will bless you God knows your heart 😇👍..
I know when you do something you do it from the bottom of your heart and with pleasure you enjoy it.. SO GODBLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS...
Hi Reynaldo!!!! I love a quiet machine! However when we can't have one we have to look like Mickey Mouse! =D Thanks so much my friend!
@@ScoutCrafter 🤣🤣 so true 👍
I picked up a nice old set of side cutters last week they look like your snap on one's but much much older lol
Hi Scout Crafter it's pretty hard to beat channellock pliers reasonable priced you can get them in almost any hardware store sometimes on sale. Snapon are great too but kind of expensive. Titanium pliers are probably for a special job where you can't use the others .
Thanks John ! I am sending you some more spark plugs for your collection .
Dean!!!!!!! Sorry it took so long to get to your great stuff! It was all great!!!!!!! I can't wait for someone to walk in to the museum and ask for you and say "Scoutcrafter sent me" LOL Thanks again so much Dean!!!
I like watching your video's
Thanks so much!!!
THANK YOU...for sharing. No way on Gods green earth I would pay 250 dollars for those pliers!!! THAT'S crazy!!!!
I use my dad's old shooting ear protectors whenever I used loud machinery . I keep a pair of audible ear plugs on me, they cost me $15, but you can have a conversation with them. While the foam ones are always," What did you say???" I've damaged my glasses before when a rock chip hit it, I'm glad my glasses protected me. But I have the false hope they are not really safety glasses. So now I use a face shield to protect my glasses, since my lenses are crazy expensive to replace.
When I was visiting Japan the construction sites all had DB meters, so not to piss off adjacent neighbors.
Hi Kent! They don't use DB meters here in NYC because they would always be pinned! LOL
Hi SC, I have been watching all your content recently on a 'smart tv' due to a change in circumstance. Usually I would use a PC like right now. The point is, my smart tv gives no option for a thumbs up or comment, so, if you see a dip in these areas but hits are still good; keep that in mind as surely I am not alone.
Congrats on the new TV! I want to get one of those so bad! That is the reason I make sure to download all my videos in 1080! Thanks so much for letting me know! -=) Enjoy the new TV!!!!!!!
Hi John. I believe titanium tools are used on expensive pieces of medical equipment to prevent damage.
Wow! Crazy price for pliers!! Great tip on using hearing protection. I know I don't use it enough! Funny that after your video I was on Craigslist and saw a Stanley 700 vise like yours for $30. Didn't get it though. Lol! Surprised right? Great mid-week Mosh SC!
Steve, they are all over and you will get a few soon!!!!
Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish is the gold standard - check out the Sweet Project Cars channel for a variety of polishing and restoration uses, including headlights. The Titanium cutters are essential for any explosive or corrosive work environment. Drop a pair of steel Channelocks while working on a gas line, then you'll appreciate the difference. As to sound protection, hearing loss is cumulative, that is, once your hearing is damaged, it doesn't get better. A side benefit of exposure to really loud noises is tinnitus, or ringing in the ears. I used to shoot a lot with free, military surplus ammo as a teenager, and after one long day of shooting with my buddies with no effective hearing protection, I not only lost a lot of my hearing, but my ears started ringing and they haven't stopped yet - that day of shooting was more than fifty years ago. I got some pretty good hearing aids at a warehouse club recently (a pair for only $2,600 - what a deal) and was amazed at the sounds I had been unable to hear for half a century. Don't pinch pennies on ear protection!
P.S. Thanks Scoutcrafter for bringing this to our attention. When I was younger, I once had a job scraping old paint off of asbestos siding prior to repainting, and I wore a mask. My boss didn't want to be seen as a Safety Sally, and refused to ever wear a mask while scraping or sanding. He died more than thirty years ago from lung cancer, but he was no Safety Sally - he went out like the Marlboro Man, and at about the same time.
SC, not sure you are aware, but My Mechanics also does some awesome restorations, as do you. You should check him out. BTW, you got me hooked on tool restoration too. I'm still learning, thanks to you and others like you! I love your videos. They are informative and educational, Thanks for all you do.
Hi David! Yes! I have seen his videos and he does excellent work! He just did a Gedore wrench that was amazing!!!!!!!
Love the side cutters some people sacrifice weight for durability I will take the
Channellocks over anything quality side cutters. I have some earbuds I listen
To music when I’m on the sander ect was never concerned with hearing its
Not till we get a bit older that we start to worry ha ha 😜. I have been looking
At the mothers polish for a while now down here in little old nz it’s a bit on the
Pricey side but it did a fabulous job so I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and get some
Great video John god bless take care 🙏🔧🛠🇺🇸
Thanks Matt!!!!!!
I have several sets of hearing protection around the shop, just so I can't give myself an excuse. Also have smaller sets for when my daughter ventures out there with me. I also have a DB meter out there, I think my loudest combination is a router with shopvac attached :)
Remember the old circular saws? They were annoying! Also the pancake compressors are just stupid loud! LOL
Spotted that sweet American flag themed c-clamp. 👊👊👊respect!
I’m from Sapulpa,Ok and I’ve never known about the museum.
Hi Kit! Yes! If ever you are near there say hello to Dean!!!!! =D
Great Show & Tell today, John I Love My Flitz, & You Know Who Else Does Too ! ATB T God Bless
Those decible meters are great. You gotta get a mead belt sander, they are nice and quiet. Great mosh. Cheers
I have a Sound Meter on my android phone. It's free and has a recording chart.
MEAD? I have to look into that! Lots of times with the belt sander it's the bearing and belt whine... When I move I am going to get a bunch of new tools... Quiet ones! LOL
..nice..
Safety glasses a must always
Larry, I am always shocked that when I watch glass blowing videos so many of them don't wear any eye protection! Crazy right!??!
SC... You should use the ear protections for all the machines. Whats that you said...
I was waiting for you to say " elbow grease"
LOL I always use it! =D
I use those 3M Worktune headphones that do a dam good job at keeping the noise level down but not crazy heavy or bulky so ya dont look like a "slow kid" with a helmet on. Not sure if they are marketed as hearing protection or not but being able to blue tooth music off my phone is kinda nice!
Great video. Sounds like a Rt. 66 road trip to me?
Yeah Cliff!!!!!!! Sounds sweet!
I believe the Titanium cutters would be great around any type of electronics. Anything with an internal transformer or the like..
Yes! MRI machines especially!
I would buy it by xmas season .
I have done flooring repairs in rooms with MRI machines the magnets on these machines are no joke you have to hold on tight to your metal tools or they will fly out of your hands. If you worked these machines titanium tools would come in handy.
Mid week mosh the new name for Wednesday's videos lol. I love the moshes they are the best. Thanks Scout =D. The price is crazy lol. It's like Benchmade knives. Very awesome but expensive. You should hit that company up scout. Lot of them will sharpen them for free :3
Those diagonals are made for working on MRI machines! Probably the reason for the high price!
@@ScoutCrafter Oh yeah you are right. I didn't even think about that. Thanks Scout=D
In demolition School in the army we had to use Cutters that were anti-magnetic and we also had to use knives that were anti-magnetic as well. We were not allowed to wear anything outdoors near the demolition cord or any of the explosives it was raised in the static electricity. None of our clothes could contain any wool. Sounds like that's what the titanium Cutters were for. Once our knives became dull we had to throw them away, we could not sharpen them. As soon as you try to sharpen the blade you magnetize it.
Hi Bill, I never liked working around explosives of any kind, some guys have no fear of it but I always felt uneasy until I was very far away! =D
@@ScoutCrafter I agree. It was an Army course I got sucked into and after I was done with it I never got near anything else again that went boom except my weapon.
I have two pair of snap on side cutters with long handles. They are twice as long as normal side cutters. I love these things and I cant go back to regular length handles. I cant! I wont! lol I can cut through almost anything with them. They will cut a battery cable no problem.
We have a subscriber here that retired from Snap-On! 32 years! He made tons of tools we use everyday! Awesome!
What did you say??? Yep, I’m paying the price with my hearing now too. If I can add another tip, ear goggles (as my wife calls them) are pretty cheap so I have a couple of pairs in my shop. One pair hang on my cold saw, another on my lathe cause it’s noisy and another pair on my main work bench. I have found that if I have to go get them then I get lazy and don’t bother for quick jobs but if they’re within arms reach I tend to use them all the time. Hopefully I can stop further hearing loss. When I hear (pardon the pun) titanium tools I just think NASA or maybe bomb disposal. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
OH Yeah! The cold saw! LOUD! =) Same with the Hot saw! (abrasive) super loud! =)
Have you ever tried the little orange ear plugs? They're made of a spongey material that fits to your ear. I use them at work all the time. Way less hassle than a big set of safety muffs.
Yes! I always use them for my chainsaws!!! They are great! Mine are beige colored! =) Thanks!
Titanium tools were developed to create the SR-71 blackbird
The side cutters would be perfect for delicate electronic work around magnetic-sensitive materials. Bits of solder, plastic and copper wouldn't be any trouble for the titanium. Titanium is extremely difficult to get done right - if you're interested in how it's used in bicycles you can check GCNTech's video on "7 Things You Didn't Know About Titanium" where they explain a bit of its properties and manufacturing difficulties.
I once almost got some titanium ratchets off ebay but I was outbid. They were made by a company that manufactured mostly fasteners for NASA, and folded in the late 90s after they were caught lying about the ratings or something.
I fell into the Titanium bug years ago and wanted all stuff made from the magic material... I soon realized it wasn't all it was cut up to be. It has it's place for sure but at some price! =) Thanks!!!!
The titanium pliers must be perfect for electrical work snipping speaker wires inside a cabinet near the magnet for example :)
brainache555 ...If that were part of one’s full time profession, they’d be worth it. Otherwise, no way.
mercoid Yes when something fairly simple as a pair of pliers cost $250 it’s probably not for everyone :)
The best reason i could see to use titanium for diagonal cutters is the non-magnetic properties aound delicate electronics and machinery.
Great show! Well done segment on hearing! I liked the polishing instruction. Is titanium like stainless steel? If you use a regular wire brush on stainless, it rusts. Will titanium react to the iron file?
Hi Dennis, I really don't know! I was shocked at how "soft" the jaws were on these cutters! Usually the file skates across a hardened jaw but the titanium cut like butter!!!! =O
Woah!! Nice n red, no wonder he sent it to you =) Check out colonel brassy polish, I use it on Kirby vacuums to get them to be all shiny again. I won a pair of snap on cutters like you have there but they have long extended handles, I was thinking about see'ing if you could fix them or maybe warranty them out but now I know what file to use =)
Doug! Kirby Vacuums?! Are you kidding me? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beryllium -copper, bronzed, and titanium tools are all non-magnetic and can be used in an MRI ,magnet room without them becoming a dangerous missile drawn to the magnet bore. that is heir principle market. Beryllium copper and bronze tools are also non-sparking so are used in flammable atmospheres as well.
Man I use Mother's mag and aluminum polish..... superwernch approved 👍
Hi Matt! A product that hasn't changed in 40 years that I know of!
Wouldn't it be great if tools were all just straight steel rods without nooks and crannies and weird curves to sand around?
Enjoyed the video. Quick question, would that polish be similar to Flitz? Same basic thing, you think?
Hi Ben! Yes! All polish is just abrasives captive in some gel, liquid, wax or paste. Some fancy polishes add chemicals but it's the abrasive that does the shining. Years ago Dupont made a line of No. 7 Auto polished and waxes. Rubbing, polishing compounds, Chrome polish, Buffing compound.... They were all great and just had different abrasives like sandpaper grit. Mothers is just a find compound similar to polishing compound. I could get that same shine with 5 different polishes I have. =)
Those ear muffs are good for wearing outside, when you work on the yard. Mowers, edgers, & chain saws are noisy!
Also, you won't be able to hear yourself scream, when you injure yourself! Safety third. =O
Hi Alan! I always use the soft ear plugs with my chainsaw and my radio muffs for everything else!
Great Advice on Hearing Protection? I worked inside pipe organs for years as a tuner. I have some hearing loss beginning to make itself known. It's annoying!! PS...Dodged the Dorian Bullet!!
Bill!!!! I was just mentioning that! I'm so glad the hurricane lost strength... Now honestly, the news gave everyone grey hair and ulcers and high blood pressure over the last week! Now they tell you that you were smart for watching and being informed! ???? I went thru that too many times, now when a storm approaches I watch everything BUT the news! LOL Great stuff! Thank God!
@@ScoutCrafter It's always a tough call...so many variables! The storm tracked further east....It could just as easily have tracked further west. What some folks consider hype is what a storm is capable of when they look at it 5 days in advance of arrival. I'm never sure how much I really want to know. In the end, with Dorian, it worked out. Thank God for that!!
Scout. DB metering is so basic that the last one I got was a free app on my android.
Oddly, occasiomslly, I encounter super loud bus announcements and drivers constantly deny they can adjust volume.
2 days after I got my meter on my phone, I found a super loud bus, and when I held up the meter to a speaker (90) the driver saw me and the volume came down.
Mark- You are so right, there is no need for such loud volumes!!
@@ScoutCrafter the point is we can all have DB meters now, and use them. Every viewer with an android, or about to once they understand how over Apple is, can easily get free apps..
👍😎🤠
I'm thinking the titanium might be required around sensitive electronics since it is non-magnetic?
N- MRI machines! =D That's why they cost a ton!
I think those pliers would be great for cutting plastic not metal. Those Gunpla nerds and their pliers. Others saying MRI or sensitive machines checks out too. Titanium is light and strong but edges are such a science. With the knife craze going strong people love their knife metals. S30V and S90V and a hundred more.
