WOW! I'm 78, worked for 50 years as a mechanic. Built and rebuilt a lot of stuff in my life. BUT never took a battery apart and rebuilt it. Gotta hand it to him. Looks like a lot of work. Bad for his health though. Very neat to watch.
All my life worked in heavy mechanic engineering world, fully normalized and with high safety standards, very stressing too. Now, I feel relax watching those skillful men doing their way. All my respect.
And yet we have people marching in the streets shouting they are hard done by and don't have opportunity. No, they are just lazy people who want everything for free.
@@BlamBlam80 there is a bit of a difference. People in america are marching due to systemic racism that makes it hard to get away from doing jobs like this guy is doing and wanting to feel some kind of safety. Its not that all people are lazy its the system we live in.
@@beave200 it's not the system we live. The system in not racist, there are no laws that benefit some people and not others because of the color of their skin and the sooner people realise that, the better their lives will be.
Bless this man and those like him who have to do such hard and dangerous things to support those they love. Whenever I think I know how good I have it, I am given a new perspective on really how different my life is from the rest of the world. I have not done anything special to deserve my privileged life and this man is every bit my equal. God bless them and preserve them.
A man that need to be proud of his skill, i am impressed, the thing with safety folks, he is doing it outside has a ventilator and that is all the safety he can afford, remember not all people live in a rich country but he is richer in his skill that most rich people. And all rich people talk about recycling, he is doing exactly that ! Not wasting a battery but fixing the problem. He definitely has my respect.
@@dylanlouvet758 judging by the noise it looks and sounds like a place not on the street but maybe somewhere on the side or at the back and also he does this for a living... BTW I don't see any soil or water there...
Very nicely done - he even checked the specific gravity of a cell(s) using a hydrometer. It is interesting to see how different battery restorers accomplish this task.
@Chuck Hall, yes he did!!! I was thinking that he should have done a S.G. check to the electrolyte before pouring it into the rebuilt battery... Then after pouring it into the restored battery, let it soak into the spongy lead plates for a couple of hours, before putting the initial charge into it... Then checking the S.G.again an hour after the electrical charge has been applied, then topped-off. with electrolyte before shipping it to the dealer..
I'm electrical engineer, nobody taught me on restoration but this gentle man did it so easily. Must be included in the syllabus with hands on experience.
I like these Videos. I learn a lot from them. I am a retired Auto technician and these are really great. The way things are going in the USA, right now, I may have to use the skills, in the future. Stay safe
these guys remind me of when we did this kind of work. nothing was thrown away, everything was fixed, and if you really needed something new ... well, men, you were a failure, because you weren't able to fix and make the old part work. every man, every child was able to do something with his own hands. yes, just like today!
Боже мой в 21 веке люди вынуждены работать за копейки на вредном производстве, свинец, кислота, жара от печки, но мастерство этого кудесника поражает, и терпение, работает спокойно и с достоинством! Лайк!
I have a lot of respect for roadside mechanics, with what they could do with what's available. But this man is on a different level. Salute to his skill and hard work.
As he poisons himself with lead, he feeds his family. These people aren't ignorant, they know the dangers of lead. He won't live long enough for it to be a problem. We all lived like this 200 years ago. Respect for him and his family.
Have you ever watched those guys in S America that extract gold with mercury and then evaporate the mercury with a torch to feed their families? They don't live long either.
@@decaf8126 What kind of racist BS is this? You think they don't have access to gloves? You need to get out of the country, visit these places. I have. They have gloves. They just don't care. The same reason they use their hand instead of toilet paper. They don't care. Stop being such an ignorant racist.
@@jeffsmith3350 haha I am from Pakistan. So I can't be racist towards Pakistanis. I laid out few facts while you called Pakistan as dumbfkistam so that makes you racist. They use hands not toilet papers but they use water with their hands, and wash hands with soap afterwards. Scientifically its more cleaner and hygienic than using toilet paper. They don't charge that much for these kinds of work compared to the West, usually in Pakistan people have big families so lots of bellies to feed. They prioritize on that rather than having a luxury of buying gloves. You might have visited and stayed for 1-2 weeks but I am from there so I know more about them than you. And stop being judgy
@@kazakhpatriot4737 хорошо пошутил. Из средств безопасности + вентилятор)) да там у человека в лёгких уже свинец и кислота. Показывали видео про таких на разделке кораблей в Бангладеш. 35 это хороший ещё возраст.
On purpose, obviously. Apple: "But oh well. These idiots will see that we're screwing them over, and complain a little bit, but they'll STILL buy the junk, and AND wait in lines to overpay for our future junk that has even MORE cutsie ways built in to screw them over even more!"
@@Masterblaster016 he's a muslim. A skilled worker. Skilled workers irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, race, sex are praiseworthy. These are the people that keep this world from coming to a halt.
While everyone is praising this man he actually drained the acid from the battery in a manhole drain next to him. Then the video was edited. And this can cause serious damage to the environment.
I'm pretty sure that that's the least of his worries, he's working without gloves or mask.. most people would be sad for this man cause this is what the poor have to live like
As long as he washes his hands before eating anything, he'll be perfectly healthy. But then... I've been to India and seen their hygiene, yeah he's probably dead already.
@@madmanmapper Even if he washes his hands before eat, lead can get into his bloodstream by little quantities through skin. I'm almost sure they don't have a good waste handling, so unfortunately this man won't be the only affected.
@@madmanmapper it's not that simple. Even people who regularly shoot at an indoor shooting range with proper ventilation have to be tested often for lead count in their blood.
@@Impulset0 That's because firing a gun puts some quantity of lead dust into the air. I mean, I guess he's filing the lead a little bit, but that's hardly the same thing. Besides, he's got the fan for ventilation.
@@samuel3478 Elemental lead is not absorbed through the skin, you have no idea what you are talking about. "Lead can be absorbed into your body by inhalation (breathing) and ingestion (eating). Lead (except for certain organic lead compounds not covered by the standard, such as tetraethyl lead) is not absorbed through your skin." www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.1025AppA#:~:text=Lead%20can%20be%20absorbed%20into,not%20absorbed%20through%20your%20skin.
Luckily as long as he isn't creating dust and breathing it in or licking his fingers the risk is minimal. Lead doesn't absorb through the skin. The only part of the process that I would have called a little iffy was filing before capping the terminals. Acid being a second concern but I assume they flush them before handling.
This guy is an incredible worker. I feel bad though for lack of safety he is subject to. Lead fumes and dust and I could not sit like that for as long as he does. The battery though is better than a new off the shelf. Most of the batteries we get here from Walmart or Napa are already two years old before they make it to the consumer.
@@philipfriedrich8135 don’t you think he knew it is irresponsible? When you have no alternatives you can’t choose and it’s very sad... I completely agree I feel so privileged too
@@philipfriedrich8135 so how can we judge and call him irresponsible? Just like rinsing the chemical and the way it was disposed off. But this is how he puts food on the plate. You think he makes massive profits like the big cooperations?hell no. We take so many things for granted in life
@@WarpedBlinds Eat? I'm more concerned about how well he washes all the poisonous lead and who knows what else off of his hands before HE eats! From now on, I'm going to think of him whenever I try a difficult task!
It’s amazing what can be done if there is a need. Poor guy working around all that lead, but feeding his family comes first. I salute people like this!
Уважение трудяге, хотя и очень вредно это но у него выбора нет. Либо так, либо с голоду умереть. Глядя на него забываешь про все свои незначительные проблемы.
Да, это точно, в сарае на обшарпаном бетоне, на коленке, у них много грязной вредной и сложной работы делается, работадатель экономит и им гроши платит, они может дпже и не знают что такое вредные пары ртути и свинца, дым от химии и нефтепереработки - пластиков, смол и красок.... Вон в китае, где компартия есть, показывали в ангарах сельское нищее население в драной одежде за плошку риса целый день дербанит гирлянды утилизированные из америки - так добывают медь и отсортировывают изоляцию проводов от металлов, также сидят на полу, на коленке всё делают и копейки получают, это на супер заводах роботы работают на конвеерах, а самая грязная и неблагоприятная и зачастую вредная и тяжёлая работа руками нищих трудяг выполняется
Skillful worker , someone who knows his work way too well ..The no of hours he has spent beating on his craft shows how well versed he is 👍 I hope he earns what he really deserves .. nobody willfully risks their life working in a carcinogenic env. Untill it's for family his kids and their future..👍This man is going to be a great family caretaker if he doesn't already have a family 👍
I have total respect for the ingenuity and work ethic. Usually I fear for the future (when we see the degree of environmental contamination that is a reality for much of the world) but tonight I grew genuinely concerned for those fellas present when they hooked up that charger!
Amazingly skilled craftsman. This man works hard to provide for his family- try thinking outside your first-world box before commenting smugly. Cheers to him.
co za masakra, ciekawe kiedy jakaś bateria im wyjebie w powietrze przy takim kozackim prostowniku "beziskrowym", który się nadaje bardziej do teledysku rammsteina niż do ładowania akumulatora.
No no! My husband used mercury to attract fine gold in river gravel. Then melted mercury amalgam to reveal gold, without any safety mask. Died about 10 years later of mercury poisoning. Also, handling sulfuric without hand protection will ruin your hands. Beware!
lânchánđời nguyễn considering how his hands look he would probably consume it orally by ingesting it but even if it’s well ventilated considering the amount of molten lead he’s handling I’d say he’d be breathing in a lot of it too. Not to mention the fumes of burnt plastic he’s inhaling too. Still he’s probably better off doing this kind of work than others... I’m sure he does his best for his family. Sometimes life doesn’t give you a choice.
@@lanchanoinguyen2914. No one even it the best of health lives for dozens of decades. Working like that in those conditions the guy will be lucky to reach 60.
