given one of these out at the end of the episode so I guess so we get started
here let's take a look at this tool i'm going to show you what it does how it
works and give you a little demonstration
so the way this Tool Works is a pair of a locking pliers and it has a it's
designed so when you squeeze them the men at the edges you put the edge of the
metal in there when you squeeze them is going to put a perfect 45 45 degree been
on the edge of your metal so I want to grab a piece of metal here and put it in
am i okay right here so you can see that this metal is flat I've already done a
little bit right there
ok
you just put it up just put in a squeeze and there you can see it's that easy
I can do another one here to show you is it is put in a squeeze
there you go you can see it's just you know you can go right down that line
just squeezing them so so let's show you why you need this
so can we get in here on this uh all right here's what we want to take a look
at
so typically you bought welcome sheet metal together when you but well we're
going to come in right here is your welds after its butted you want to put
it and you're going to see that this is you know it's it's fairly proud you know
so that in the well down
there's not gonna be much left and as you can see if you can get in here with
a camera you can see there's a crack because now that we ground that well
down we've ground down all the ground on everything that was holding the two
pieces of metal together
so what so now that it's flush there's almost nothing there and there's no
strength
we've got this crack in the problem is that crack is going to push back up
through your paint your primer your body work and eventually is going to become
visible and that's why you need is perfect panel prep tool because I'm
going to turn this around and on this side you can see what it does
by making this 45 degree little bevel when you but the pieces together
now the well sets down in that Valley
so you can see how flat it is
we've got the same amount of well as we did over here
see over here it's on top so we grind it down there is nothing left to get that
crack but when you use the perfect panel prep tool get it down in there now you
have very minimal grinding less heat less work and you're going to end up
with this right here
nice smooth and a lot of strength because now that whole weld bead is down
in that Valley
it's filling it in and you have more strength you know that you would ever
have you any other way so I can really see that here's another
I'll bring another one up here so you can
see what I'm see what I'm talking about you in on this
so as you can see right here is just you know the panels are but together you can
see the world on top but here again
you know you can see how you know you can get a nice strong well that's down
in there very minimal grinding you're going to have all that strength so so
let's demonstrate this tool
let's demonstrate this tool you're quick
and if you're just tuning in don't forget to share this video don't forget
to comment and if you share it
we are going to be given one of these away at the end of it to someone who
shared the video so and if you're also if you're just joining us this is the
debut of this tool
we're pretty excited about it so we decided to go live today so we got the
guys together you know put together some some pieces of sheet metal to
demonstrate it for you and this was you know designed in-house by Mark Roberto
who you've seen a lot of our videos
he's a little he designed a lot of products and this was one
you know he's working on a car he's trying to think of a better way to make
stronger welds when he's restoring his car into a sheet metal work and he came
up with this
you know I was here when he did the prototype is pretty cool and today we
finally you know it finally came in we are offering for sale and you're just
about the first people to see it
and if you're interested in it don't forget to visit eastwood.com and don't
forget to check out our daily deal while you're there which is ten percent off

I got a piece here where I've done some of it i'm going to show you how easy
this is to use so I've already beveled this i'm just going to SS little bit
very good there so we're in so they exceed formed it
there it is and we can just go right down this pretty quick so there it is so
that whole edge battled and I did two inches there in a few seconds
so now i'm going to show you I can pull these pieces out and show you what I'm
talking about
so you've got a couple patch panels do this to both of them
so then when you made them together now as you can see you got that neither
oh you got that nice valley like I was showing you before now if you're looking
for a great way to hold these because you can see they but pretty tight and
you got that Valley
now if you're looking for a great way to hold them together
let me show you these geez these stitch well magnets which are so strong i
actually can't even get a off the table
so these stitches on magnets here these things are amazing you can use them you
know if they come in a set you get a bunch of them to me
you can use these things that have to hang quarter panels and they're they're
really strong any kind of patch panels they're great in a in areas if you're
doing something that's a goes at an angle and you can't get a clamp
these things are great for that great for hard-to-reach areas and that I said
they're really strong so if you have a patch panel
you just put a couple of these tak well you know move over here tack weld and
another thing when you're well and sheet metal you want to try to jump around
I like to keep an air not nearby if i do some tax you know it with air the
compressed air to cool it off but we offer these at least what if you look up
stitch world magnets
you know these are these are you must have so when you're there buying your
