"No Torque Spec Nolan"
Angelina – Sandro, if it's possible.
For that first hack, I had a much more extreme version, I was trying to drill some mounting holes on the engine cradle, and only had wood drill bits and an old single speed drill, after the first half of the holes, I discovered that I could lower the CAR onto the drill (braced on pavement), and exert as much force as I wanted without tiring myself,
Sandro is The man 😂😂
And
Looks like Nolan wants to give Steph a tuneup 😂 dude turns red when she talks to him
Just use a solo cup for a oil filter if you wanna keep your hands clean
The paint pen on the socket works great you just have to use a colour that pops and I use emery cloth or my utility knife to just lightly scrape away the access paint.
30 seconds to drain the filter, or 15 minutes to clean up the oil spilling everywhere? Good hack.
Yeah Nolan was so whiny about the fire thing during that episode but the punching a hole on the filter is to much? Naw come on Nolan I know you have soft hands 😂
its funny thy are worried about the wire striper if your striping a lot of wire to actually need a wire striper you should not be using those stripers for that job because thy suck that much
those stripers are the cheap crappie ones that come in a box set of tools so cleaning bolts with them actually makes then useful
do not use those for striping wire go buy a Self-Adjusting Wire Stripper and just use those ones for cleaning bolts LOL
Dude. I clean old bolts all the time. Who doesn’t have a bench grinder with a wire wheel?
Little brush brush and she’s good for another run. 🏃♀️
Used the vacuum and hole in the oil filter all the time when in the shop. Mostly just punctured the filter with to drain the oil to prevent a mess with large filters
I have a homemade specialty tool thats a spiked hammer for the oil filter hack and its really useful for directing where the oil stream goes i use it alot for ford Transit vans because the oil pan is under the block but the oil filter is infront of the radiator so its just outside of the reach of my drain pan
i've done the jack trick😂
0:11 thats not a bottle jack……… thats a screw jack…….
are we SURE these people are mechanics / the hosts know the MOST BASIC things about mechanics??
.
"what is the blue jellyfish light on my dash??? and why are people flashing their lights at me??" – donut media, probably
.
.
seriously….. this shit is getting old………
like… you can see the dude spinning the screw with a drill….. yet you call it a bottle jack………
.
and not just 1 host…. but BOTH!!! hosts get it wrong (and they act SO! confident when saying "bottle jack")
.
just sad…. what happened to the old Donut media?
Low key I kinda be besties with Sandro.. His 1 liners, gets me every time!
That transmission lifting guy is cool but he's not Tony Angelo bench pressing the trans in to Blasphemi so Finnegan can win Drag Week cool lmfao
The breaker bar video against the toolbox truck is pretty dangerous, for heavy equipment fasteners you use either an impact gun, heat or a torque multiplier to loosen the cutting edge from that bucket.
Why do all the mechanics on this show have clean hands?
LMFAO omg i dont wanna get oil on my hands… Fuck that get out of my way
Ive done the so ket paint pen for 27 years. Just needs touched up every 3 years or so.
That ain't leverage, that's pressure.
Painting the socket depends on how deep the stamping is, and using a flat style of rag. A soft fluffy rag will clean more paint out of the grooves.
Stephanie is the first person other than James I've simped for on Donut 😫😫
I suddenly feel compelled to sign up for Auto Tech classes at my local community college
Sandro is great .. but I feel when he has said "I've done that" it really means .. he would do it …. I don't think he's Done every hack…
I’ve done the bottle jack wrench push many many times. It’s a good “hack”.
Steph cute asf
16:00 is how a person ruptures a disc and is in pain for a very long time.
Dawg, he said "a tiny bit of brake cleaner" and you sprayed that mf for a good 2 seconds (with mississippi). I think it was an operational error….
