I use tools as an HVAC/ Generator mechanic. Here I show some tools I purchase, review the tools after several months of using them. I also repair tools and maintain the tools I own. Also, I will post videos of auto repair and DIY work. If you want a review on a tool the just came out, You won't find it here. If you want to know what I think of a tool I use and have been using. That you will find here. I believe that tool review videos influence others to make purchases. I don't want to be responsible for you buying a tool you hate. I also will be doing some tool restoration projects. If you like watching HVAC repairs my other channel is The HVAC Hacker
My installers put a vent on one side and the clean out on the other.. You have to leave a vent uncovered for it to work.. From the numerous videos out there on this subject, there appears to be no standard.. I personally think it's a poor design to eliminate the additional drain line in favor of a float.. We never had one clog in 22 years, and since this new system was installed, it has clogged twice in just over one year. With my old system, I would have had water in the garage, with this set up, the system shuts completely off and I have to go unclog the line to get A/C working again.. And it always happens in the middle of the night. With my system being in the attic, it's a real pain to have to go up there and clear the issue, installing one of the flush out type things isn't an option for me because it drains into a drain downstairs and I would have to take a hose upstairs and risk water leaking all over the place, making matters worse.
I thought of this too, but it will leak. I have this problem on a boat trailer. Needs to be sealed. I may try to use a cone and a hammer to try to widen it a bit
Let me add another thumbs up for this video. I too had a working AC that wouldn't blow out of the vents, even though the Heat would blow out the vents. After finding this video and watching it I figured that was my problem. My doghouse and engine cover on my 1999 Astro van were slightly different than shown in the video, but I still got them off. The covers are VERY tight to the space and I was never able to get the engine cover all the way out. Plus the nipple of the vac hose is VERY awkward to reach, but it's doable and it is in the location he indicates. I was hoping that I'd find a broken or disconnected tube as he did, but instead I found a completely intact hard plastic tube and two intact rubber l-shaped nipples. Crestfallen, I thought I had not found the problem. I snipped them about two inches from each end and tested them underwater. It looked good, but I replaced it anyway using a much smaller hose than the one he uses in the video. It worked. I'm not sure why, the other one must have had some unseen leaks somewhere, maybe at the nipples? I dunno, all I can say is if you have this problem, replace the whole hose.

Hello, I would like to ask a honest question because I’m new at this. Using staybrite 8 silver solder will hold the pressure of any refrigerant in Hvacc jobs ? Have you had any problems? And the reason I ask, is because is easier to work with this material than using silver rods 15 % silver and I want to make my journey as smooth as possible 😅 Thanks man
If one is doing mechanic "homework" (not for a living) Pittsburg tools are fine. Ratchets and breaker bars are fine, just buy the heavier impact sockets to use with them. The torque wrenches are the best deal. Take care of them and just take them back when they wear out, they are just as accurate as "some" high dollar tools and will often last the "home only" user a lifetime with genuinely useable accuracy. If I made my living and fed my kids using tools like these, I might be pickier, but I don't. 90% of the time a brand like Pittsburg will do the home mechanic like me just fine, and often for a lifetime. There will be exceptions, but exceptions are rare, that's why they are called exceptions. I just wish every company would make bulletproof screwdrivers. Well actually, I just wish EVERYTHING would instantly convert to Allen or Torx drive lol. They wear out but not like flathead or Phillips do.
Damn it! That’s exactly what’s wrong with mine. Damn! I will need to make my hole bigger to get in there. I was hoping it would be a simple fix. What’s that tool called to unscrew the drain?
I have one of these. Because of the way it takes temperature you will never get the accuracy of direct physical contact. Hey, I bought it because it was cheap, I'm a gadget freak and It works great for checking cooking surfaces on the barbeque and the laser is great if you have cats😅 When I was a kid I saw this cartoon of a meteorologist sitting in his office surrounded by computers, charts, communication equipment and at the same time........he had his big toe sticking out the window.😊
I know I’m going to sound like an old mother hen here, but finger puncture wounds that are seemingly minor can turn into a serious infection very rapidly. I know this from experience. I got a small puncture wound from a rose bush thorn. Didn’t hurt when it happened and very little blood so I ignored it and continued working. After about a hour, my entire hand swelled up like a balloon and looked cartoonish. Went to emergency room and saw a hand specialist. Had to get admitted and put on a high dosage antibiotic IV to counter the real possibility of sepsis. Everything turned out OK after a few days in hospital. Lesson for me is don’t ignore those “minor” puncture wounds!
I'm so glad my A/C unit is in my garage. If it leaks (and it has many times), it will not damage my house. Everything is easy to get to. I can easily disconnect the pipe and use the pressure from my water hose to clean it out. What you just did would never work for me. Putting the A/C in the attic is just so stupid.
Ty for your video I was searching everywhere for instructions and the first time we use it today so I really appreciate your video. Help me a lot. Have a good day 😊
Changed the oil on a 2015 honda civic recently. The oil filter wasn't on super tight after all, but is located on the underside of the engine and surrounded by other components so hard to get to. Tried an oil filter wrench which just slipped when I applied torque. This filter wrench style got it off very easily. Thanks for the video.
also pull the tail cap & spring and clean the inside of the aluminum cap where spring sits, clean spring to . Dissimilar metals cause small amounts of corrosion
Look. You’re overthinking. The fact that you’re judging on how fast they can come down or up is that you’re missing the point. As long that they read the correct static pressure on the long term . Quick response means nothing my guy. It’s constant reading my guy.
Good day Mr. Bill, where did you order your led bulb switch assy of your mini maglite, and what is the part number or reference of led bulb assy of your mini maglite, I have owned one mini maglite but the bulb assy is worn out. Can you help me out please. Thanks
Hey, I've seen your video last year, and that I made up my mind and bought the pliers. It was a great choice, you've made a very convoncing and true review. Thanks for that!
I've carried the mini-mag since long before it was LED. I own a lot of other lights; some fairly pricey. But my EDC is this light and I won't part with it. The reason I came here was to learn how that LED is removed. I am getting a flicker and sometimes it doesn't come on at all. I wanted to look at that little spring that contacts the battery to see if it needed some outward adjustment. Your video showed me what I wanted to know. By the way, you should mention your grease isn't petroleum based. It is silicon and will not adversely affect your rubber gaskets. I use the same stuff for the same reason. Nice blade you have there too. I can't bring myself to carry any of mine.
im wondering if your jacuzzi jetted tub has a computer module that needs to be reset by pressing the reset button on your pumps ECU but its probably the pumps motor overheating so yes probably replace the pump and then clean it again and yes i understand its a difficult and long process but hey i Love Jetted tubs because as me and my parents got there new house in 2005 when i was 12 years old i had got my first garden tub from the year 2000 or 1975 i dont specifically recall the manufacturer dates on my garden tub but your tub is nicer than my childhood tub now im 21 years old in 2024 and will be 22 soon and i was scared to bath in the tub because it was too loud my question is i plan on saving money to build my first House in 10 years or less about 875,300 US dollars to purchase a bunch of parts and tools including renting my own bull dozers and construction equipment after having my mother father grandpa and my family help build it is that possible also how much does a jacuzzi pump cost i need one for the install
