Viewer request 😃 I just purchased an ultrasonic cleaner. And starting to experiment with different solutions and running temperatures. My first try has been the extreme simple green as it seemed to have less issue being corrosive to the surface of different metals. There are reviews out there but none as good as yours. Thanks again!
@@patd2765 a separate channel is definitely the way to go for branching out; mixing those videos here would definitely dilute the value that nearly 3 million subscribers are interested in.
Everybody's saying stick to product testing, that's great but don't burn Todd out. We all have to have some fun occasionally and that helps avoid burnout.
@@blueline308 yeah but when your a RU-vidr you don't want to spend time doing projects that you don't post, because that would cause a huge gap in upload schedule. I face the same thing, imagine if he does the diesel project and it takes two weeks and costs $8k, then that's two weeks and $8K which is now a deficit towards your channel. Most RU-vidrs are their channel, it's bittersweet but part of the game, it starts to get to you.
I am a retired engineer and also use to work in quality control. Your product testing videos are the best on RU-vid and saves me time and money trying different concrete cleaning products. Thank You !!!
@@ProjectFarm Would love to see a transmission rebuilt, something relatable like we might own. But as usual, the complete process, showing the transmission working well in the vehicle again. Same for engines, and even testing other kinds of products and seeing if they are as good as they claim. Love the product reviews, they really help. What if you tested upgrades on an engine and see if they yield the power increase that the company claims?
@@BLKMGK4 Easy enough if you don't do the same things he does. Or you did it on different vehicles. For example, who would do things like that to an old RV? Or an old farm ranger? And you could do things they wouldn't expect: Here's how a underhood light turns out on your old junk ranger. Or even fix up the old junk ranger. People wouldn't really expect that, they expect it to be ran into the ground until dead and then scrapped. They wouldn't expect him to start fixing the body and any rust and making it nicer. Even if it will still be used on a farm.
Honestly there is NO other channel or person doing what you're doing, as effective as you are. I literally trust no one else's analysis more than yours. As long as you don't stop the reviews, I'd love to see anything that you create.
I'd say stick with reviews because I want more! If anything you could branch out into other style reviews or comparisons. Even electronics, or household products. I would watch any kind of reviews you put out.
spot on- I have not seen anyone on the youtubes as through and not pushing for one particular product. It truly is impressive, incredibly helpful. I would not mind additional topic/projects as long as you keep the reviews. They are just spot on-
Product testing for sure is the most important thing you can contribute to the community . I have purchased several tools that you have tested and find them superior to the common brands that are available. You are reaching the broadest range of homeowner/DIYers that will, in turn, support your efforts. The engineering approach to qualifying products is always lacking; you are providing a valuable service. Thank you!
We love the idea that you want to go bigger and better but the DIY comparisons and real world unbiased testing makes a huge difference for us consumers and even people working professionally who simply want the best tool for the job. Keep up the great work
I tend to prefer the product testing. I have a lot of channels I watch that do good builds, but *nobody* else does tests as realistic, broad-subject and reliable as yours! I've used your testing for a *lot* of purchases!
You didn't even bother to tell us if each product was solvent, acid, alkaline, salt based. I'd still wager that clothes washing powder beats all these products
@@janeblogs324 Every degreaser that I've dealt with has been alkaline, some strongly enough that they will damage aluminum parts. It would indeed be useful to know the ph of each of the products tested, but that information can probably be gotten from the manufacture.
@@James1095yes, most are alkaline. Super Clean even specifically states it can corrode/etch aluminum. Simple Green Pro HD, the purple stuff is like the WD 40 specialist and specifically formulated to be safe on all metals.
Don't change from doing product testing, but I always love watching people build, or fix stuff, using a very logical slow approach with great explanations of why you're doing that next step
Rarely comment on videos, but I wanted to say that your tests and processes are very appreciated out here. As far as sticking to tests or do other things, I say do both! It's important to enjoy what you do, and if by adding some "different" videos helps you keep enjoying what you do and help to keep the rest of us informed, that's a win-win combination in my book!
Keep doing what you're doing. Watching an engine rebuild isn't going to help me decide where I should be spending my money. You're content is what keeps me coming back for more.
Anytime I consider buying a new product (for my truck, house, etc.) I go to your website to see if you reviewed them. You do an excellent job of trying to be as scientific as possible and you use "everyday" products that the "normal" person would use, so it is very helpful and saves me from disappointment and from wasting my money on things that just don't seem to work. Please stay independent so there won't be any bias in your reporting of results should you ever decide to take funding from a particular brand. THANK YOU!
Can we take a moment to admire and appreciate the foresight and selflessness of this man to specifically cultivate the mildew on this stretch of siding for years just to do this video. Top notch content as always thank you!
Please don’t stop! What you do is so amazing!!! There is so much over-promotion out there and your methodology breaks through all the noise. Thank you. Thank you!
@@j0hnny_R3db34rd us buying the products tested on this channel is the part of the change it inspires competition to build the best product and at 3million subs his efforts have defiantly been noticed
as someone who grew up poor, my whole life I've been worried about wasting money on a product where all i had to go off of was the manufacturers words. you literally save me not only money, but precious days of my life. keep these coming! i would like to see videos on kitchen/household electronics like crock pots, mini fridges, phone chargers, robot vacuums?
Especially for stuff like this where there are so many options. I have probably three or four different types of degreaser at home and I couldn't tell you if any of them work better than any other. Having someone who's able to test all the popular options back to back is extremely helpful
When the EPA killed the emulsifier called "phosphates" in our cleaning products and laundry detergents, they killed one of the ingredients that makes these products perform so well!@@FowlerAskew
@@ProjectFarmHave you thought about doing a Diesel Heater video? There's a wide range of units going from +$1200 to as low as $89. I know a lot of people use these on their RV/Camper vans. People are putting a lot of trust in these without knowing if they are safe. Not only that but is spending $1200 really getting you something better than the $100 version? Thanks for making your videos and working hard to keep them unbiased. Keep them coming!!!
I think we all really love the product testing - irreplaceable. I would like to see videos of making engines run better - testing odd parts, additives etc.
You could branch out here and there, but I really appreciate these product comparison videos. They really help us DIY guys save time and money by going straight for the best performing products within the context of price. You've helped me with oil, filters, tools, cleaners, and on and on!!
As a mechanic I would enjoying watching mechanic work videos from you. But really I would probably watch just about any content you make. The videos are great and the product testing is extremely informative.
Product testing is your Call-In-Life ... I am grateful to other broadcasters for their guidance, but you, by far, consistently bring more items to compare! Thank you for your efforts.
I love your product tests and will tune in and watch every week even it the product isn't on my radar, but it must be hard to keep producing a weekly show when you've reviewed so many of the "big" items. You're almost a 3M subs, and that's substantial. I appreciate your: humility, fairness, no Rock&Roll intro with lightning and thunder, no CONSTANT "merch, patreon, etc", no tough-guy loudmouth attitude, you make your own testing rigs and your shop isn't Internet Fancy, no sponsors. (I'll bet they're beating down your door!) I could go on and on. Quite a few of my tool purchases were inspired by your videos and I hope clicking your links helps. Some RU-vidrs make another channel so as to not dilute the main one and risk losing subs. Perhaps "Project Farm Builds:" or whatever where you could do side projects? In the meantime it wouldn't be unreasonable to revisit and re-review some of the older tools as the specs may have changed or you could include other brands. Nice to see this week total product cost under $200! I think a lot of us will tune in no matter what you do.
YES to continued product testing! Your methods are impeccable and very detailed. Maybe Consumer Reports can learn a few things from your methodologies. It would be nice to have you update some of your older tests with newer ones, as the market shifts every few years.
You definitely are already the best at what you already do so why not keep doing what you do best? I am into refinishing guns and would like to see you test all the different brands of bluing solutions, cold blue including Oxpho by Brownell. Make sure you test all with parts totally cleaned and degreased and also with parts not totally cleaned of rust and oil.b Also show totally wahed and dried nut without oiling parts etc.. Thank Bob Jones😊
I did like the Star shifter I installed in my 68 Nova/ Chevy II SS. Their transmission reprogramming kits were a joke. I put one in a turbo 350 that was in my first Chevy Nova. It was a 69 with a non performance THM 350 behind a 350 c.i.d. with a 2 bbl. Carb. The crisper shifts were very underwhelming! Then got into the transmission industry and found out what a SK green box kit for about $8 could do! Little bump on a shift, versus barking the tires and leaving 6 foot rubber fish hooks behind you on a 1-2 shift!
I, for one, think that this channel should continue to review, compare, & test products that viewers suggest. However, doing other things like engine upgrades, transmission rebuilding, equipment maintenance, etc...should be added to ProjectFarm's content occasionally, based on the needs of the farm. If you need to do a project around the farm, making videos showing the start-to-finish process & methods may be of benefit for DIYers.
A lot of channels will make a secondary channel for this reason, that way the ppl who come here to watch product reviews dont complain about the farm related content.
@@gaveintothedarkness I feel like doing a second video on like Wednesday or Thursday about the extracurriculars would be fine and having the sunday videos be lovely product comparisons.
After using several other products I simply went to the winners of your showdown and purchased Super Clean at Walmart to clean my aircraft hangar after several very messy jobs that really trashed my floor that is epoxy coated. Gotta say, the floor has never looked better and the cost of Super Clean is quite the bargain. Thanks Todd. You are a real lifesaver! I regularly purchase whatever wins in your comparisons and I’ve never been disappointed yet. What a timesaver! You are the ONLY guy I can really trust on the internet.
Try using turbine engine gas path cleaner as well. It cleans almost anything off of the epoxy floors. I used go ask the engine mechanics to borrow some.
I've been following this channel pretty much since it's inception and have watched almost every video. Absolutely love the hard work you've put into these and professionalism in testing products. It would be awesome to see you branch out to other things as you suggested. Just know whatever you do, we as a community will watch and appreciate it!
product testing are definitely the bread and butter. But when you make videos of other things simply for your own enjoyment or curiosity, they are fun to watch and I enjoy them! they are fun to have in the mix occasionally.
Keep the product reviews coming, they’re very useful and there isn’t another source that even comes close, but if you have other ideas like rebuilding a transmission I’d definitely love to see those videos.
I work in an agricultural tractor dealer ship and we use oil eater at full strength most of the time to clean engines,transmissions,hydraulic caked on oil it works very well great stuff in my opinion.
Todd, it’s your straight forward no nonsense approach that everyone loves. That skill can be applied successfully to all types of content. Have fun with your channel and we will, too!
Your approach to the organization and analysis of each project is always entertaining and your patience is surprising. It’s exciting to think about you producing other content because your style and delivery is so distinct. I always get a kick out of hearing the marketing claims of these products said out loud. Sometimes, when I come across some wild marketing claim, I’ll hear your voice in my head say “we’re gonna test that.” I also think the name of your channel allows you to make more content that is project oriented. All that said, we come back to watch you and your original style, the content is important, but very much secondary.
The following that you have gathered here is a testament to your awesome video quality and consistency. I think you could do a video on just about anything and we would all still watch. Thank you for years of quality unbiased testing.
I love the testing. At this point, I'd probably watch videos of you mowing the lawn or repairing a sink drain--you always find ways to keep us engaged and interested!
I personally really enjoyed and appreciated this comparison Todd, mostly from cleaning engines and machinery viewpoint. I quit worrying about my shop floor long ago after years of cardboard, and pressure washing. It's clean, but stained. I really appreciate the comparisons to see the "best ever" products go head to head. Thank you so much, I wish I could have known many of these results years ago! (Too soon old, too late smart). Still learning at 74!
Your testing and channel seems to be a household name in my circle of friends and family. You’re doing something great to educate the American public about products they use. Thank you and may our Lord continue to bless you and your endless efforts!
You’re my absolute go-to channel for product testing & advice. I’m so grateful for you & your vast array of videos. You’ve saved me time, money & effort. I greatly appreciate the product testing & hope you continue. But I’ll watch whatever videos you create 👍🏼
Not sure if you still have all the cloth test pieces, but could you do an extra test to see which (if any) of the degreasers might have "eaten"/damaged the cloth with a tearing test? As always, amazing job Todd. If you're feeling like a change of pace in video content is what you need to feel inspired, then go for it! The last thing I'd want is to see you suffer from burnout in all these comparison reviews (but should you still want to make these, I am 100% for it. They are simply the best).
I think that you’ve earned your viewers respect and that at this point we would love to see your methodical test based approach applied to just about anything you want to do including engine rebuilding and performance modding. 👍 thanks for another great and informative video! 😄
I agree! would be super cool to see an in-depth video on how to rebuild something like an LS motor. Might be best to make a separate channel for that, as that content may hurt this channel.
I agree. I've been using that stuff on everything. It cleans dishes fast and easy. And they sparkle when you finish. You can even use it on your pants and shirts.
I absolutely love the product testing it has helped me so much. I for one will watch every video you post. Your years of unbiased transparent and honest testing you’ve earned my trust and then some.
Please don’t stop what you’re doing, expand your excellent catalog of reviews, but include whatever content you like, Todd. Maybe a second channel or another upload day per week? The sky is the limit and you’ve earned your place to do whatever the hell you want to do!
Keep doing what you are doing. I watch every episode even if I don’t currently need the products. Many times I check your channel before shopping because you’re spot on
Based on the quality of your videos, I think any direction you choose to branch into would continue to showcase your quality. Improvements are always a great subject material.
I'd love to see glass cleaners across plate glass, laminate glass, and what I've really noticed to be tricky; auto acoustic glass. Smartphone style ceramic coatings/screen coatings would be another great test.
I know this was a suggestion for the channel, but I’d recommend checking out Griot’s Garage glass cleaner and the accompanying microfiber towels. I don’t know what’s in the stuff, but it’s non-ammonia based and works amazing.
I really enjoy your product comparisons but I realize that it must get harder and harder to find things to test. If you diverge a little bit from time to time, I'm pretty sure that would be enjoyable as well. Your videos are a real treat so please keep up what you're doing.
I thoroughly have enjoyed you unbiased product comparison videos that you have done in your past video series that you have posted. I look forward to future content and I have never been disappointed with your past videos! Thank you!!
You’re are the best product tester on RU-vid and your tests are reliable and unbiased. Several are trying to copy you but just don’t do as good at it. I think what you are now doing is great and saves a lot of wasted money on false advertising which is the norm now. Thanks for all your hard work and great videos
Have you ever had product tests that didn't make it to the final video because of inconclusive, irrelevant or failed results? If so I think a video compilation of these tests with an explanation of why they didn't work would be pretty cool
I would keep your channel the way it is - Simple and to the point! I would also like to see a review of paint brushes (for acrylic house paint) and manual caulking guns. I will say that I switched over to the "Twisted" trimmer line and you nailed that review! Very pleased with the performance of the "Twisted" trimmer line
I asked about the paint brushes because I have been using Purdy Brushes for years - but often wonder - they were recognized as a best brand when I was growing up using oil paint - but are they still today when acrylics are the norm? @@ProjectFarm
You're product testing is great. It's also something that you don't find all that often, especially considering the pains you take to ensure accuracy. So I hope you continue to do these. Testing things like engine power improvement devices and such would be great as well. But ultimately your focus on clarity and accuracy, and empirical analysis is going to make your videos top notch regardless of the subject. Keep up the great work!
I've used Super Clean for over 20 years, and have found it to be superior to any other cleaner for most cleaning tasks. I've been a big fan of your product testing channel since I discovered it several years ago, and have always found your well thought-out testing procedures to be fair and very conclusive. That being said, I would watch pretty much any content that you put out, knowing that it would be interesting and entertaining. All I would ask is that you continue to do product testing from time to time... nobody does it better!
Super Clean is the best I've found, as well. It's got enough sodium hydroxide in it to eat your skin though, so everyone wear your gloves and don't make a habit of breathing the fumes.
@@OvertravelX Don't leave metal parts, especially aluminium to soak in Super Clean, sodium hydroxide (aka lye) will eat them. Nasty stuff, also in a lot of oven cleans.
@@OvertravelXSuper clean can also corrode/etch aluminum. They even now specifically warn about it. Unlike the WD40 Specialist and Simple Green Pro HD which are specifically made to be safe on all metals and not corrode.
I remember using that Castrol Super Clean many years ago to degrease an engine bay. I recall the fumes when spraying the product being almost caustic. After several hours most of the grease seemed to just melt off after being rinsed with a pressure washer. Very effective in removing dirt and grease with minimal scrubbing.
As long as you still do testing and revues of products from time to time I don't see any reason not to branch out. You are a highlight to my Sundays and anything you do will be entertaining and informative.
A subscriber for years, I really appreciate your real-world product comparisons. I, for one, don't have what it takes to purchase the many products and test them, head-to-head to see which one is best, subjective or not. Thank you for your great work. That said, I thoroughly enjoyed your videos destroying lawn mower engines!
I've been using the zep cleaner for a few years with great results, good to see that it actually stacks up well against the competition in your testing.
@@CT_Taylor Oh, I wasn't aware of their metal degreaser--will look into that. Thank you! Edit: Do you have a product name on that? Zep website does not list a metal degreaser. Thanks!
This is a really excellent contribution; systematic, packed with validated detail, no filler, covering exactly what I wanted to know. I particularly admire the 'inter-coder reliability' test, getting a group to judge the order of cleanness! This is my first of your videos, but I shall be returning to learn more, especially as I need to acquire new things. Thank you.
@@ProjectFarmhi, I know the zep said it removed adhesive on the bottle, but "can you test that" and other floor adhesive/ glue removing solutions, many thanks 😊
I agree with quite a few others, I would still like to see the review and testing, but it would be really cool to see other content as well around the farm. I love your content and thank you so much for such diligence in your testing strategies!❤
Would LOVE to see more construction product and materials testing. Since no one else on youtube is doing anything like that. DIY’ers like yourself, you will be thanking you for generations to come!
I love the honest reviews, and I watch them wether I need the info or not! It’s just so well presented and thoroughly tested. But if we got a video every once in a while of a transmission or engine rebuild, I’d love those too!
@@dc5723yes, the corrosion/etching is the problem with it. A few years ago when RU-vidrs were hyping it for automotive use they said it was safe on all metals. Now SC has a specific warning about that it’s not safe for it. Because of that I’ve gone back to Simple Green Pro HD, the purple one. It’s specifically formulated to be safe on all metal.

I am happy to see Super Clean rate so high. I've always relied on it when cleaning engines and built up cooking grease because I know it works well for what I can afford. Now I no longer have to wonder if I have been missing out on the more expensive stuff.
Would you recommend it for concrete? I have a furnace that burns heating oil and one time a bunch of soot got onto the concrete floor and it's very difficult to get out.
Be careful, Super Clean and Purple Power can corrode/etch aluminum. They have a specific warning about that it’s not safe for it. Because of that I’ve gone back to Simple Green Pro HD, the purple one. It’s specifically formulated to be safe on all metals.
Don't change a thing. Your show is fast, and you know how to get to the point. Keep doing what you're doing, my friend. All your videos are well thought out. Great job.
Some people forget that he has also tested a lot of engine additive, fuel tests, etc. etc. and there are people (like myself) who subscribed with content like that in mind. Either way, I do agree that honest reviews are rare and that you are a gem. Keep it up 🙌🏼
Enjoy your channel thoroughly. As a fuel hauler who does his own laundry, I always add OxyClean to my clothes, works twice as better as just detergent. Your test is much appreciated.
Your product testing is absolutely invaluable. If you want to branch out, I would suggest a second channel to assist viewers in finding the content they prefer
Keep doing what you do, it’s so hard to find comprehensive objective reviews👍 other content like rebuilds has a lot of competition so probably not worth taking the time away from doing more of what you do best!
I used Super Clean for the first time a couple weeks ago before watching this video and I'm not surprised Super Clean did so well in this competition. I was amazed at how well Super Clean works. I cleaned an 18 year old diesel engine to replace a water pump and I was shocked at how well it de-greased the engine... it looked new and I didn't even touch it with a brush or rag... just sprayed on the Super Clean... waited a few minutes and rinsed it off!
same, I used it for the first time a few months ago on a really dirty riding lawn mower engine. I sprayed it on and let it soak for not even 20 seconds and sprayed it off with a garden hose and all the grime melted off and I was left with a brand new looking engine. for the money you absolutely cannot beat it
Be careful, SC can corrode/etch aluminum. They even now specifically warn about it. Unlike the WD40 Specialist and Simple Green Pro HD which are specifically made to be safe on all metals and not corrode.
When preparing my old house for sale, I used LA's Totally Awesome to degrease the kitchen, which was in rough shape. It did a great job cutting the grease from the appliances. Fridge, backsplash and stovetop came out really clean when used at only 10% strength. That stuff is perfect for cutting old bacon grease splatter etc. Great test using different mediums in this video!
I would love to see your methods in testing simple bolt on modifications to common vehicle engines. There's so many options and could provide you with additional viewer base.
I now use your content before I make a purchase decision. I like the organization and speed in which you get through the testing. I feel like additional content would be fine, but love the product comparison videos. Great job!
@@ProjectFarmI enjoy all your videos, the recent diesel engine upgrade was really good too. I would say keep producing whatever you find interesting and then let the views and likes decide what’s more popular, regardless I will keep watching everything
The engine performance thing sounds good to me, Todd. I also think testing things is your thing to do. You've helped me out more than enough! Saved me from purchasing something that I THOUGHT would've done a good job. You give us REAL tests and the outcomes. In regards to this video, excellent work! I'll repeat myself. You are the hero we need, but don't deserve.
I just want to add that due to your meticulousness. It would be a very enjoyable of seeing how much you can improve a stock engine. Like how the performance would be at each and every step. I personally would love that.
I use LAs totally awesome on my work uniforms. Black oil or grease stains. Spray liberally and scrub before washing and they come out looking new. I'm a tow truck driver so I get pretty dirty and this trick WORKS.
Product testing is the heart of the channel, you can do a test video of something else and see if it sticks (or do another channel) but your tests are just so good. I love Super Clean and have been happily using it for years.
Id love to see tests of bicycle related products like chain lube, degreaser,tubeless sealant etc. A bit different then your typical test but it would be really interesting to see your test results !
Not to take anything away from Todd's channel, but Ryan at fortnine covers some of that. What he lacks in scientific testing, he makes up for with humor.
Honestly, Todd, I almost NEVER buy a new tool without looking to see if you've reviewed it first. A great majority of the time, you have. Based on that, I love your objective reviews. On the other hand, I love your explanations of how to take things apart, so I wouldn't mind seeing some of that too. Regardless, I'm subscribed and try to watch every video that you put out. Even if I don't need the product then, I'll know that you reviewed it and will come back when it's time to buy. You're "Very impressive!"
I was told about Totally Awesome for cleaning (completely soiled) car seats It didn't disappoint I was shocked at how good the results were , I bought it at the dollar store.
Same here. My step sons first car had light grey seats, that were a very dark grey. One hit with Totally awesome and that light grey came back strong. I love your testing reviews, but understand you might want to break out. Do whatever you think is interesting to you and we will follow along. God bless you brother.
Keep it up with the product testing! It's what you've been doing for years and what everyone comes to you for. While you may think you're running low on ideas, there's still plenty your viewers would love to see! You could test car waxes, razers for shaving, battery endurance, snow shovels, and much much more! Keep up the good and hard work, we all appreciate it!
