Made to support WWII war workers, this 1943 War Department Training film was part of a series that covers the care and use of essential tools such as pliers and screwdrivers. It covers common mistakes that people make, how to correct them, and how to care for tools to ensure they last long. The film’s general theme is that while pliers and screwdrivers are handy tools that can be used in a lot of situations, they should still be used for their intended purposes.

Today I learned, I am a terrible mechanic
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
rofl 😂
No doubt, not a mechanic at all. We learned all this in high school auto shop, years before I became an Army wheeled and tracked vehicle mechanic. We had a word for amateurs like this: Hackers.
Me 2 lol
I watched several of these films during community college classes ... that was 55 years ago. 😊
Now you can watch them all over again and relive the trauma for free!
@@RinksRides 👍👍
These films are more relevant today than ever... We have like 3 generations that have no clue what pliers are...
I know, right?! They don't know what a fag is or they think a 45 is a gun. Square man!
You are talking directly out of your ass, and if you ever did turn a wrench for any length of time you'd know better than to flap your gums. If your descendants can't swing a hammer, that's on you, bud. God damn am I tired of this old-ass ignorance.
Man, this reminds me of working at a shop as a kid and one of the old mechanics was retired army. He was a stickler and yelled a lot but taught me a lot of good old tricks ands habits…👍
Old is Gold.
It's 2024 and I am still using a pair of Bernard parallel-jaw pliers I bought used in 1965. I guess I am as much of a museum piece as those trusty pliers.
I've had a pair of round nose pliers in my toolbox for years, and today I learned what it is for.
I was never really sure what the round nose pliers are for. Finally good to find out!!!
Also commonly used by jewelers.
Apparently Ive been using my tools wrong for the last 50 years. One other rule for tools they forgot, you dont loan them out to a terrible mechanic.
There was an actual US Navy Training Manual titled “Tools and their Uses”. I ran across it when I joined the Navy in the 70s.
I'm a middle school teacher and I am going to start incorporating some of these into my lessons
Thank you kindly because I should knowing how little I know about the basics of being a wrench who had bloody knuckles in life while my Harley-Davidson Panhead 1965 and 1957 were touched by trusted caretakers who knew their profession. Loved it! Wish I donate or buy you a coffee or tea but maybe later. Calson knows. Little. lol. 🐬
Enough pressure on the screwdriver to turn the screw.!? Philips and Torx hadn't shown up yet. (Ok, Robertson if you're Canadian) oh wait: philips mentioned as the new fancy one!
This film is restricted!!! 😱
Can't let tech like pliers and screwdrivers get into enemy hands.

When I was going through Hospital Corps school in the winter of '67-'68, the training films that they showed us were also restricted; for what reason I never figured out.
@@maynardcarmer3148The reason they were restricted is classified...
Tool abuse isn't for the feint hearted
Not a word about gun smith screwdrivers.
Normal stevens bit screwdrivers have a hollow grind...gunsmith screwdrivers have parallel sides and fit perfectly in both width and thickness for the standard size scews they are designed to fit
Great use of tool video. Even covers security fasteners.
Thanks for uploading. If you have more please post.
Wow, when the Phillips head was new...
Not exactly new. This film is from 1943 so it had been over a decade since Mr Thompson invented it and available about that long on the market.
Always so interesting. Thank you for unloading. 😊
I remember my old apprenticeship master talking about "Italian impact screws" more than five decades ago
Hey narrator! It's my $80 screwdriver! Dont tell me it cant do other things!
That's me, using the plyer as a hammer 😂 😂 😂
Guess I'm the world's worst mechanic! Lifetime warranty, challenge accepted! Wrong tool for the job, got it!🤣
These films are hilarious😂
As Patrick Starfish once said: "Firmly grasp the handle!"
How about using a dime for a screwdriver.
You guys are a riot. Tanks.
dont worry vice grips will be invented soon
So a butter knife is not an appropriate screwdriver? 😂
Only for use around electrical outlets... 😂
Nor should pliers be used to pick noses.
They didn't say we couldn't use it. Use the best tool available to accomplish the mission.
That is a multipurpose tool. Use it for everything
Didn’t they have socket sets back then?
Just discovered I’ve been trimming my toenails with wire cutting pliers!
1940’s mechanics when I show them my assortment of custom ground tools and various modern screw head designs: 👁️👄👁️
Pliers... One of the mysteries of mankind...
Kind of wild to imagine a time when Phillips head screws were new. As a kid, I always wondered why anyone messed around with flathead screws when there were Phillips, and now I wonder why Phillips are the most common when torx or Allen or even the square Canadian type work better. Cost, I suppose.
Don’t you wonder who was Phillips what was up with his head?
Who have link to first part?
This is the way.
I have spoken
Keith Rucker looked good back then.
How often I have left the tell-tale trademarks of a poor mechanic....
I’ve been using pliers wrong all my life. 🤦🏻♀️
Vise Grip Garage
Awesome
So thhhhaaaasts what pliers are used for.
Pli-ing!
I have one of those extension screw drivers and I never knew it pulled out like that. Just thought it was a ratchet screw driver. I've had it forever and found a new way to use it.
THANK GOD we got vice grips today 😂
I don't leave my tell-tale-trade-marks🎉
Ha, I haven't put a screwdriver blade through my hand in nearly 20 years.
Although I appreciate the importance of proper training on equipment usage, it's not as if the U.S. military has ever fully equipped any field mission. You have to improvise, adapt, and make do... so I don't give AF what those pliers were "made for" if that's all we've got, Mr. Smarmy Narrator. Take it out of my paycheck if I make it home.
Til that I have used tools wrong for practically my whole life.
Pliers are often the wrong tool at the wrong time
I still call diagonal cutting pliers "dikes"
Caree and use if hand tools is "Restricted Information" 😂 😂 😂
"Poor mechanic" - a mechanic without money to buy tools.
Ah c'monnn, it's only 50 bucks a week until the year 2103.
Restricted?
Man that screwdriver handle must have been made of low quality plastic explosive!
And If You don't know, now You know...
Curious people 😂
I bet a lot of those tools are out there somewhere…😮
They’re in my basement! I’m the fourth generation to inherit them.
NOW you tell me!
"the materials must be softer than the pliers" *no i dont think i will*
6:00 how wrong can it be used?

How dumb were people?

Don't be a poor mechanic!
OMG. How boring. A terrible training film, especially if the viewers had eaten recently, like after breakfast or lunch. In less than 5 minutes, they would be out so cold, you could perform major surgery on them. Too many silent times. Add music, and show the narrator. And he'd better be engaging, with an honest, no shit message. The only purpose these films served, was to provide mechanic students with naptimes. From a former US Army wheeled and tracked vehicle mechanic.
Ye olde torx was cool, now I need that bit. Also cordless drills really killed off that spiral driver thingy? I've never even seen one.
1:18 this is me.
