I'm still on my first two bags I bought three years ago. If I'm cleaning something up in the shop I want it cheap. It's a shop. I've learned my lesson on the red ones. Yes the bleed but, the washing truck and even soaking them in vinegar first helps immensely. If I'm doing a clean up I use a rag. If it needs to be clean then the microfiber towels are great. But I was raised rags and towels are different. You don't risk the good stuff on clean up.

I only use them for wiping off my hands,after I use hand cleaner,& they work fine for me.As far as them bleeding in the wash,mine don't because I pre-washed them twice.I don't wash them with my regular clothes,just what I wear when working on something.

What's up bro, mechanic here. These are shop rags, not rags meant for "cleaning". They're meant for use of like... wiping oil or grease off of your hands so they aren't as gross so you can keep turning wrenches, or the oil pan after spraying it with some brake clean etc. You want a towel that's meant for actually absorbing and picking up sills or messes? Yes... use the appropriate item (the blue ones are best). Hope that helps.

I agree with you on your use of them. Myself not being a mechanic or automotive tech and using them in a shop setting they have their uses for me and i use others for the work I do also for the reasons i mentioned. You have a good point on using them for auto related projects so thanks.

Good video I agree I have had the same experiences with the hf rags and shop towels

I appreciate your opinion on the shop towels. I have used the HF brand, but will try the Sellars brand. If you have Menards, that box of towels is under $10.

No Menards near me but thanks

I don't buy them to clean liquid they take grease off your hands rather well.

@TheHomeHandyman 2 месяца назад

That is one good use for them but still good to know the down side as well.

A red shop towel “rag” is not absorbent for all fluids. There Designed for oil base liquids.

Never use this type of rag when rebuilding an engine or transmission. You might get a piece of that fiber stuck in a valve body and that will be coming back with a stuck valve , use a lint free rag or towel.

My god if this is peoples issues in life yall are doing pretty dang good in life. its a cheap rag thats cheaply made. yep thats why ya buy em. Seems kinda like a bottom of the barrel video. Review something more worthwhile

@TheHomeHandyman 2 месяца назад

That is your opinion and I do these reviews on a variety of topics ranging from small dollar value to higher amounts. If it bothers you so much then simply don't watch them because other people find the information useful. It is not peoples issues in life but rather a awareness of things you may want to consider before purchase and running into the same issues. As far as your comment about the video being the bottom of the barrel and to review something else, well I would tell you that your comment is useless, baseless. nothing more than a petty attack, and obviously comes from a person in the shallow end of the gene pool.
