okay you guys tell me something right here do any of you have any of these check these out do
you have any clue what these are well I'm gonna get into that into a second here and I'm gonna
show you how maybe these are some of the best do-it-yourself tools you ever had and if you're
a skilled trades person if you work on heavy machinery maybe tractors loaders hydraulics and
I think you say if you're a automotive technician you more like you know what this is let's get to
it I'm gonna bring you over to the bench here and I'm gonna show you what these are a couple
of hacks that I've done to improve these and see if you guys can use these in the future they may
be useful for you too well here we go right here these are flushing adapters and on the end here
I've wrote down you know the size is this one here is one and 3/16 from here to here to 5/8 this one
here to inch from the top like it you sumed in there and then one in 3/8 down on the bottom and
the last one is 7/8 and one and a half and you can take a look there it's just a regular quarter-inch
M fitting and what do you use these for well there's multiple things that you could use these
for and a little bit of a hack that I've done is I just took one of the fittings here regular
fitting that just snaps on all three of them and you can just take your cap off and you've just
got a regular airline fitting on the end there and I'm gonna explain what that's all about too
but these are just terrific I recommend anybody to get these I've had these for about maybe 10 years
I bought them at princess Auto and I believe I paid about 12 bucks they're probably more now
I imagine most places in the world they're not a very expensive but these are one of the handiest
tools to have and i'll explain to you why well whatever trade you're in or whatever particular
situation you find yourself in where you've got a blockage somewhere well most people just go with
like a little airline like this or they get like a bigger airline like this and they'll stuff a rag
around a hose or a pipe or something like that and you know just give her the air pressure and
away you go right well it's not always that easy and this particular set here will make it a whole
lot easier for you I'll explain a couple of things here and I'm gonna show you the setup I did here
now what I do with this is because I have this on here I can now I'll just put this off to the
side for a second here so now I've got this I'll turn it around for ya setup like this now here's
one of the adaptors and now I can apply regulated pressure and I know exactly how much pressure I'm
putting in with this adaptor and it works on all three of them and that's a terrific thing that
happened and of course on the end of the line you can just use like a regular fitting as well
so what are the purpose of these things well I'll tell you what this one here for instance will fit
in most coolant overflow bottles and you know you can apply pressure to blow the line I was
using this one here I believe about a year and a half ago a friend of mine had a a log splitter
with a little bit about kind of a funky kind of a line on it there and his tank was plugged
somewhere along the line so what we did was we took where the filter was attached took it off
of the filter put this in applied some air and it just blew out the blockage and that's just
one of many instances where you can use this type of thing where it makes a nice seal you
know wherever you use it and you'd be surprised the amount of times that you're blowing out some
kind of a line that has a blockage or you're bowing out coolant in a particularly say a rad
say you have a rad and it's plugged a bit well you really don't want to go crazy and apply like
a hundred pounds of pressure because you're not gonna have too good of a result but at least if
you use the you know the regulated pressure is fine and sometimes if you're looking for a leak
now yeah you can use like a regular pressure test kit you know you got to pump it up pump
it up pump it up well you're going to be pumping there a long time and looking for a long time and
sometimes a leak ain't so easy to find and it's lot easier if you can have a little more volume
but not a lot of pressure and this does a great job of doing that so I just thought I'd show this
today and you guys let me know if you've ever seen these before or if you use them because I
find they're handy I do not use this a lot I mean it depends on the situation how many times you
have a blockage somewhere but they're great if you want to actually flush out a particular system of
what it is could be on various machinery could be all kinds of different things and yeah some
people actually use them as well for flushing out a line even on a trailer or like an RV that
kind of thing you never know where you know you want to use some air pressure so I thought this
is a great little tip to show you and maybe you could see if it could be useful for you as well
you never know when you're going to use one of these so thanks for joining me here today come
back again if you haven't seen this channel for well you're welcome to subscribe Cheers
