well welcome back to Steve Robb reviews today I'm going to show you a couple of hacks that I
do when you have a fastener that you're trying to put in somewhere and you know what gravity
is working against you and you're trying to get this thing in let's take for instance something
like this set up here for you've got this fastener here and going in like this is no problem going in
like this well you got a problem don't ya okay so what a lot of people do they'll take this here and
they'll put some just ordinary thin paper over top jam the fastener in there yeah that works too that
works too or they may just get some tape wrap it around the fastener jam it in there sometimes that
works too as well then you run in this situation where you got to put a nut and let's just take for
instance you know like this you put it in here and yeah works great like this like that it don't work
too good what are you doing them situations well a lot of guys do is they will try and jam some paper
in there or just put the the nut just enough in so if you can take some electrical tape and just try
to tape it around and then try to gingerly kind of put it in there well you know what sometimes
it works sometimes it doesn't doing like the last method okay this is one of them magnetizer
demagnetizer x' and if you've got one of these all you do to just go like this and you put it on
a on a fastener like this and it will hold it but guess what that only works for small fasteners it
does not work for like a heavy bolt or anything like that it's only for small stuff so what do
I use I'm going to show you what I do and I don't know if any use guys do this I've been doing this
for years and years and years because it does get frustrating trying to work like this in a certain
spot where you're working downhill the fasteners falling off you're trying to get it in there or
you're working with a nut you're trying to get it in there and you're trying to thread it on you
can't get your hand down there keeps on moving it keeps on moving this is what I do I'm gonna
show you right now well here we go right here I'll do this one second I'll do this one right now so
here's the fastener and it doesn't really matter whether you have one like this or if you have an
Allen or a Torx or whatever guys it's as simple as this I've been using this for years it works
great there we go yeah look at that guys there we go right there leave this upside down okay here
we are with the second one just put a little bit of hot glue you don't got to go crazy on it it's
just a little bit you just squeeze it in there there you go guys just leave it like that let
it set for a bit and then we'll come back well what do you think I'll just tie this is a cheap
ten dollar hot glue gun and this is for wood very inexpensive if I had a shop I tell you what I have
one of these and I'm ready to do some assembly where you have these problems this comes in real
handy so let's take a look at guys you can work with this all day like this you can have a super
long extension and it comes off I want you to look in there if you can none of the residue stays in
there here it is here guys this just comes off like nothing it just pulls off easily and this
just has enough for tension to actually work so here's the one with the with the bolt in there
and you know sometimes if you're working something where you have to really go in at a strange angle
you can set it so you can just see the bolt coming out the end here if you want so you could actually
thread it on and see exactly what you're doing your fastener is not way inside or even if you're
using like a short stubby it doesn't have to be sitting in the back end of the socket it could be
here so let's just put this in here and I'll show you how easy this comes apart guys it comes apart
really easy it doesn't clog your sockets up or anything like that it stays on this fastener most
of the time and if it doesn't guys it just takes a second just a zip it comes out it's for wood it's
not for steel and that's the best part so there's lots of alternatives like I said you can use the
tape you can use all kinds of different things you know to hold the fastener in but how many of you
have actually used a glue gun I think it comes in handy if I like I say if I was a tack working in a
shop I'd have one off to the side little you know little spot ready for assembly where I could just
have this stuff all done ahead of time on the fasteners ready to go zip zip in time is money
right okay so thank you joining me here today I hope you enjoyed this little bit of a hawk these
guys come back again watch more of this Steve Rob reviews these guys take care now e Cheers
