rev up your engines, today by popular demand I'm
gonna give you a tour of my garage you can see all kinds of stuff in here but
if you think that's bad check the side of the garage because that's
where I store all the products that people
send me to try out as you can see it's almost all the way to the ceiling, so if you've
wondered if Scotty really checked those things out that he talks about on
mechanics Monday to show you what products are good and what products are
bad, well yeah here's some of them that I'm in the process of testing so
it might be a while if you sent me something and it's in the bottom in the
back there I might be a while till I get the testing them, but getting back to
the main part of the garage will not actually work on it it may look like an
entire jumbled up mess of total entropy now of course realized entropy is the
end state of all manners but there is actually some logic behind the way it's
set up in the front when I open it that's the stuff that I use every day so
I stick in the front so I can find it easier then there's my little Stanley
battery pack and if you notice it sucked up to a giant LED bar that's how I like
to place it's never been wired for electricity I water certain things for
electricity like my compressor that runs on 220 there's no 110 in this garage I
use a little battery pack to run the lights when I need lighting when it's
dark and what do I use to light it, this cool LED bar supposed to go on offroad
trucks company send it to me hey it works great for like my garage I don't
have any trucks here, and of course here in the forefront are two jacks
they both came from harbor freight tools this one I've had for about 12 years and
this one I've had for about a year and a half and I gotta say the three ton one's
the best Jack I've ever had it's low profile so it'll Jack anything up and as
you can see in here it's a dual pump 1 2 so it's really strong and a Jack's up
fast and since you're often using the drill here's my dewalt
drill this is by far the best electric drill I've ever owned
now I've always been a cheapskate so in the past a lot of times I'd buy electric
drills in a pawn shop whatever they had lying around I mean they worked but
generally were cheaper ones and they'd burn out after a while I've had this
thing for a long time over ten years practically use it every day never had a problem
the automatic drill chuck stop those are so great you don't have to worry about a
stupid key that you're gonna lose and it gets them in nice and tight just by
turning them, now it's hot and humid in Texas so also in the front now not in the
winter but now is my electronic refrigerant scale if you're working on
air conditioning systems you have to have an electronic scale the amount of
refrigerant modern cars is so tiny that you can't even be off half an ounce
they might not work right so you got to have one of these scales now truth be
told this is the second one of the same exact scale that I've owned the first
one I had for about seven eight years forgot about it, I backed over it with the
car and crushed the thing and strangely enough the broken one still gave some
readings but hey I couldn't trust it anymore so I went bought a new one I've
had this one for like six years now and it still works perfectly fine only thing
I gotta replace is the old nine volt battery in it every once in a while what
else do I have in the front, a box of these stupid tabs anytime you're working on
modern cars those stupid little plastic tabs that hold on plastic parts those
under carriages in the car that you got to take off if you work on them they
always break so you can get boxes these things for like nine bucks you'll get
like six of them for nine dollars at the auto parts store here you get a hold
gigantic box the main China they're plastic I got them in the front because
I'm always use them with stuff breaks when you take it off on a car when you
got a box of them for nine bucks or so saves aggravation then you're just like
how am I gonna take this plastic stuff apart without breaking it you don't care
you just break the old ones off and then you snap these new ones in of course
what else is in the front my bucket for washing cars with my polish in it I
don't go to a car wash and have somebody wash my car I do it myself
whew something like this Nufinish it's not technically a wax technically
it's a Polish they say once a year I still do it four times a year once every
three months once a season at the beginning of the season then it keeps
all the bird poop that falls from these trees off the car still cleaning it off
when you see it but it's gonna protect it from that acid eat in a way really
fast so when you get up the next day or if you're gone for a couple of days and
the birds decide to have a little party in your backyard and they poop all over your
car it'll protect the paint from being eaten away what else is in the front my
magnetic pans nothing beats magnetic pans if you're
working in a car you could put nuts and bolts flashlights I got a little one in
a big one stick it wherever you want they're not gonna move and you're not
gonna lose stuff and if you accidentally bump against them hey I think it's a
pretty solid bunch of good ones like this, magnets but it's coated with thin rubber
that's why I didn't care if I threw it on the paint it's gonna hurt the paint
what else do I have in the front well my bt 260 tester i forget the name
that's why I had to look at it as you can see it's got the super long cable so
I can go really long way now I used to use the more expensive version this is a
Chinese version this cost less than half of what the fancy one I used to use and
it actually has more features it does voltage it does ground it also has all
kinds of features you can access it has a little LED so you can see what you're
doing without even using a flashlight I love these things because it shows the
actual voltage so you can use this on computer circuits and you won't damage
anything you stick it on the battery maybe it'll say 12 point 5 volts you
stick it on a computer circuit that works on 5 volts it'll say 5 volts
pretty neat you can read it you don't even have to carry a voltmeter which
it's built into the thing as far as I'm concerned autool company is an
up-and-coming Chinese company I'm trying out a lot of their different tools that
they have some of them fail because they were too cheaply made but this one they
it passed with flying colors I tried these things out and this one Hey the
great little tool I use it perfectly every day when I'm working on cars what
else is in the front well my giant screwdriver the great pry bar even a
listening device you can stick your ear on it and listen
to stuff and you can see the plastic end is broken off because I've used it so
many times I found when the plastic end it'd break off then my ear is right on
the metal and you can actually hear better than when it had the plastic end
if I was ever going to use one of these for a listening device I would get my
cutter and I would deliberately cut the end off and put it off so there's the
bare metal that I can hear with plus if I'm hammering things I can hammer on to
the metal not the plastic that's the reason the place to came off in the
first place I was walking with my sledgehammer
really broke up found out it worked better this way maybe somebody should
design a tool like this and sell it, hey we didn't even make it past the front of
the garage wait in the future where you see what else I've got hidden in here
it might take years to show the whole thing in depth, so if you never want to
miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring that Bell
