adam savage in my cave with a tool tip this is actually two tool tips in one
but in order for me to explain and show you these tools that i
want to give you a tip on i'm going to do a little uh a preface
first so what i've got here is a 5 16 bolt with
a washer and i've got a a nylock grip nut and i am going to use these
crescent wrenches to tighten this down and
here we go yeah the thing about the nyloc nuts is they don't vibrate
loose which is awesome and i use them all the time
but like i have 360 degrees of access to this
you're sitting there with the nylock and a couple of crescent wrenches
and you're sitting there and frankly i feel like
i'm losing my whole life seconds or take it away moving ever closer to death
and this is just taking forever and while crescent wrenches are
truly like a tool everyone should have in their roster i hate using them
it's it's a clunky solution allow me to show you a better one
and that is this what is this this is a driver
that connects the sockets from your socket set
to your drill watch this that same operation i just went through
i am going to pull out a what is the correct size it is
uh wait yeah it's gonna be that one
and that is a yep okay these come in multiple sizes all the
sizes that socket set drivers come in and there i'm
attaching this long socket and the back end of it just
chucks right in to my driver drill
and now watch this i put the bolt through
i put the washer on i get the nut started
and then i hold on to its back end
right right okay wait it gets even better because
you're not restricted just to hex bolts hell's bells margaret no you could use a
socket cap because i think it's this big one here
yeah because you can also buy hex drivers
here they are you can also buy hex drivers
that fit imperial and metric hex bolts so here we go put this one here
put the bolt on the other side grab that nut put the nut on the other
side grab that nut with the
crescent wrench and here we go
dude you need this in your collection i can't tell you
how many times i would say to jamie jamie you want me to go get the driver
that connects the socket to the drill so you can do this fast and be like no
it's fine because the indiana farm boy and jamie would just
hate an easier way of doing something but dude
let me tell you with a hex driver and one of these things i can assemble a
piece of ikea furniture so fast it's almost like i'm going back in time
yeah so today's tool tip is these
there are tons of people that make them i
these days i'm really preferring the milwaukee brand
they're really nice they clip in and out they're very positive grab and they
haven't failed on me and i've been using the crap out of them
and then i will include a link for these hex drivers because
again this makes rapid assembly of stuff that i'm nutting and bolting together
so intuitive and so quick i have these in multiple sizes i have long ones i
have short ones yeah we're getting some b-roll now of some of my drivers
everything can connect up to one of my driver drills and it makes life
so much easier thank you so much for watching that entire video
