Mechanics Bust Scam Car Products 

😂😂😂 exactly

I was thinking the same thing dude Those beamers are diverent models lol

I knew the first was an e30 but couldn't remember the e number for the second but yeah, lets restore a 3 series and make it a 5 series, how dumb do they think people are? 🤣

​@@graemew7001honestly, a lot of people are dumb, or they don't care. So I bet that video has a lot of views

Lmao I know nothing about BMW cars. Big Mexican Women I know everything about. Thanks for pointing out

And then they have Tony as an off-screen heavy artillery if you really need the Science Side of Donut to call out the bulshit

@@TheWinjin it's a good combo

They are so awesome together!!

Yeah a dude that has been on prison some random chick with a ring in your nose. The bar is so low

@@KainsAddiction uhh

Mechanic mythbusters!

Ever watch kyle hill? He does some such

I was not ready for the reference!

Was looking for this comment!

And now with demo's you can see how awesome this dynamic duo is!!!

Sandro and everyone else makes atleast one face or nod of "damn right" each episode when she talks, hahaha. Like she explaining shit and they just sit there with a "Preach girl"-look on their face, hahaha.. love this

The meet of the titans

Watching their videos, you come for Sandro's major city hood-garage hacks, and you stay for Angelina's by-the-book knowledge. The chemistry for these two is like fuel and spark. The more I watch, the more comfortable they get doing these. Really enjoyable, and realistic series.

Sandrelina

... wouldn't that be positrons?

@@Kay_Sea251 Electrons have a negative charge, positrons have a positive charge. As such, I'm fairly certain that "negative" electrons would just be regular electrons. Well, unless you really, really like anti-matter/matter explosions.

@@Razmoudah 10/10 would simulate in a particle accelerator again

I love their solution being "we're gonna pump 'negative current' through the car" like that would help. current is directional. all you're doing is electrifying the body, providing energy to the system, and making rust develop faster

they not negative they just depressed bro :D

Yessss. But I just like to try and repair stuff

Should have a clutch so it is a vastly more useful tool. And how lazy are car mechanics getting these days anyway? Would never have used one of these as a line wrench when working in commercial aviation. It is just a good way to put scratches in your hydraulic line that is under 3000psi of pressure and lead to a failure.

@@Lurch-Bot I think the tool is more efficient rather than “easy”. Also you shouldn’t be using any 12pts on AN fittings. But just in case you do come across some scratches , please use REF AMM 29-00-00 when servicing Hydraulics.

Sandro upside, cars on fire and he decides to turn the radio up before getting out cos its fine he is cool enough for both him and the car

Sandro and Angie 🐐🐐🐐

Lool

That tool is a lifesaver to have,but still quite annoying by its size. And cannot beat a folder,that already has them features.

Sandro got alot cooler with that 240 reference

This is the way

I click I see Sandro

Facts

@@KantslerOlafthis is the way

Glad your dad came back man

Why hop away with both feet together?

​@@bigdfitness5020current flows when there is a difference in electrical charges between two sides of the circuit. The voltage in transmission lines is high enough that a downed line will create a gradient of charge on the ground, such that the distance of a footstep is more than enough to create a massive difference across your two feet and thus push lethal current through your body. Keeping your feet together minimizes the distance between your points of contact with the ground, and thus the electrical potential between your feet

im an electrician and i left a comment after yours explaining this as well i just deleted it because yours is a better explanation. have to add that there are cheaper just as effective products for home surge protection and emp shield is one of the most expensive brands and despite their name i havent found any documentation rating them for high output emp protection just general surge protection up to "nearby" (not direct) lightning strikes

So funny enough, this is the complete opposite of heavy equipment operator training. When your machine is in contact with a live wire, you should never jump far away, and you are supposed to shuffle step away slowly. I am confused why these are 2 conflicting answers.

@@taylorsova2594 Jumping with feet together, or shuffle stepping slowly. Both keep your feet close together, and keep your points of contact close together.

I've used a knife to cut a seatbelt after a wreck. There are techniques to ensure you don't accidentally cut yourself or the occupant. But I've also studied fencing and knife fighting technique; I might be a little more adept with a knife than your average person so those safety cutters are advisable for most people. The glass breaker is just a variation on the automatic center punch and could be problematic to use if you have a broken hand or wrist following a wreck; a common occurrence. Meanwhile, you can break a tempered glass window pretty easily with a firm stab with a sturdy pocketknife or you can place the tip against the window and smack the butt of the handle... There is a reason skydivers don't carry letter openers to cut tangled risers... More options with a switchblade. With a safety cutter, you might not be able to get the belt in that little slot if you are all shook up. The device here may work but it is too small and fumbly to use when you are literally shaking from a surge of adrenaline. Even Sandro is going to be shaky after a wreck. I know from experience. 'Chillin'' is a relative term.

That shocked me so much. I literally just got done watching uThermal beat grandmasters by building only one unit for 6 hours. Sandro does everything.

Sandro is THA BOI!

E'S A GAMER

Bro I nearly died, Sandro loves the terrans

get off that man’s nuts Jesus Christ calm down

Same

dude this lmao. no wonder hes so cool lol

I did not see that coming haha.

I'm so glad to have caught a Starcraft reference out in the wild lol

He's a dark Templar before the costly merge..

A can of coke works better due to phosphoric acid in it

@@jasonh4167 correct! The active ingredient in naval jelly (a rust remover) is phosphoric acid. If you are shopping for rust removers, then always check the ingredients for phosphoric acid, if it's not there it's probably not gonna work.

The product that they used in the commercial was an iron remover, that's why it turned purple. What they got in the mail was something else. I know that because not only it didn't turn purple, they also used it inside a studio without getting nauseous. I learned that the hard way myself.

@@TheRealSykx True, though oxalic acid is pretty good if you want to get rust stains off other stuff.

If it's not known to the State of Cancer to cause California, is it even really a product?

They'd be a perfect duo for a Kitchen Nightmares style car show. they travel to help finish peoples project cars. Sandro insults the work but understands it was by the boys and for the boys. Angelina will tell em why they're stupid and teach em to do better. Could be wholesome

@@XxBrMagicxX this needs to happen immediately

I'm guessing setting up a car on fire might be considered arson in California

I'm trying to figure out where they would be that setting a fire on camera would be illegal.. makes no sense.. your telling me you can't poor gas on a tire and film it or you'll be arrested?!?? Wtf?

In California only American flags can be set ablaze.

@@jessejordan310 Cali Is wild

My thoughts exactly. My guess is that the State is afraid it causes cancer in pregnant rats. Only in Cali…

I do like the times she says something like "Don't do this, its totally dangerous!" Then Sandro is like "You didn't grow up poor...we did this all the time!"

I agree, their chemistry in their episodes is awesome

Liking and dropping a comment as well, so the RU-vid algorithm knows I want to see more of these two.

Still that beard gives me nightmares

100% I'd watch a video of them reading a Chilton's Manual.

StarCraft is an incredible study tool! Where else are you going to learn about vespene gas needed in manufacturing?

Sandro makes me want to move to California and buy a busted old car just so I can pay him to fix it all the time.

Came here to say something similar. Made me smile.

​@@seven3true indeed, or for example knowing the civil engineering benefits of constructing additional pylons.

You have the Azure logo as your profile picture

I ship them

@@baddreams0919cringe

You can control the computer. Do it with AFM deletes on GMC vehicles all the time through OBDII ports.

@@nohairdontcare8803 you responded to the wrong comment chain 😂

They are actually fun to watch. The regular Donut guys try too hard to be "entertaining" and end up only being cringe-worthy.

Personal preference. I find Angelina to be quite annoying tbh.

​​@@ctcdarknessbro we on the same boat, bi don't shut the fuck up, bring back that other mechanic woman cuz she knew what's up and didn't talk your ear off for 10mins about bullshit

They probably earn more revenue on RU-vid.

@@Lurch-Bot you have a very optimistic view of what 1million views pays

Only if they can be as good as they are here. TV deals typically require a lot of red tape for how and what this team does.

He has to

I bet she's a great instructor at RCC.

​@@abrahamk9she's very accredited. RCCs staff on the website even has the awards for her.

LET HER COOK

He didn't even take off his bath slippers.

I've read that window punches sometimes have problems with newer cars, owing to the laminated glass now in use. No idea how true that is.

@annehaight9963 they defiantly will not do the windscreen on any car or the rear screen on quite a few . Tesla is the only one where there is a problem with the side windows but even then it will crack them so they can be kicked out but with some difficulties.

@@annehaight9963 Yeah, looks like it's been a slow phasing into compliance with the new ruling but laminated glass will be the norm going forward- to prevent ejection from the vehicle www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/fmvss/Ejection_mitigation_FR_Jan2011.pdf

​@@annehaight9963laminated is used in your windshield. Side a rear windows are just hardened and will break perfectly.

That was a cool one. For the fishermen and campers up here in the PNW, its pretty easy to see yourself ending up in a river during an accident... this is a must have!

She could've tested it on her glasses.

Me too

what you mean...this is there channel now... everyone else are just guests on their show.

honestly, i think they could make a whole mini-series just on these two testing products like this video and it would be awesome.

These two could definitely have a few different series together as hosts, they're great.

It's such a tragedy that this amazing tool we call the internet gets used to propagate so much bad information and worthless junk.

I came and commented on this but saw you went a lot more in depth, so you get a like

Basically the only way to protect your car from an EMP is a Faraday cage. Or get an analog engine. Modern circuitry is very resistant to power surges but an amp would probably be too much. No one really knows because we aren’t just dropping a-Bombs to find out.

I came across that scam online myself. They claim it can be used to protect your house too and claim that it was featured in a DARPA or MoD paper on EMP resistance, in actuality the product is called “EMP Shield”, so likely just the words “EMP” and “shield” were used somewhere in the paper. There have been lots of scams that are absolutely ridiculous and they tend to target the current societal concerns. Here in the UK there was one to help with higher energy prices, it claimed that by plugging this device in it cleaned the power and saved up to 80 % on your electricity bill, working on the principal of power factor correction but it was just a tiny box with an LED. There was another I saw that you were supposed to pay £2,000 for plans for this generator that you could easily build with commonly available items and it would just constantly create power and you would never have to pay for electricity again. There was one about heating too. Other common ones are online courses, from everything like starting businesses, stock trading and drop shipping to how to make yourself happy, how to get women, how to become an “alpha male”, etc. the vast majority of them are just nonsense. Unfortunately these scams do work, people wouldn’t do them if they didn’t make money on it and in general people are too eager to jump on anything that in their minds could work, mainly because they don’t understand anything to do with it. People are also too eager to believe that the government, industry, etc, are keeping a secret from them and that some person selling a course has found a trick to beat the government, industry, etc.

@@rjgaynor8 *yet...

As a EMT i caarried a snap punch for breaking windows. works the same way and you can buy them for $2.75 harbor freight.

Cathodic protection usually requires a sacrificial piece of metal that is rusting, to protect the equipment that you don’t want to rust.

@@adampowell3503 Sacrificial anode, but I don't think he was implying there isn't one or a lack of need for one.

I was about to make a less educated comment similar to this about how it works on ships since the batteries are massive and can generate a large enough charge aswell as being grounded by the water while cars with 12v systems don't have enough juice and roll on 4 rubber wheels bit I like your answer way better haha

Makes sense. And naturally, protecting your car from rusting is a very common concern, and "there's a sucker born every minute" and all that...

Yeah, under ground utilities also use an anode array to prevent rust. It's still bullshit cuz you'd need either multiple anodes or a ton of amps as a low frequency to get them to cover that much area. And as I understand it, the plasticized aluminum of most body panels are ass at transmissing current on purpose.

I have a pocket knife that i keep in my center console. Its got a Seatbelt cutter and a window breaker on it. Those things are everywhere. Ive even seen some keychains with them.

for windows a centerpunch is all you need, much easier to use, and hold. Bet its cheaper too.

@@JoriDiculous Some cars even have one or more hidden inside them already.

​@@JoriDiculousthe thing a resqme and similar spring-loaded glass breakers do is allow people who might lack the arm strength to hit a window hard to break the window easily. Not everyone can swing a tool hard, and the spring gives a significant mechanical advantage.

@@CaptainHat (auto)centre punch works the same, you just press it against the window and the spring action pops the glass more or less effortless. Benefit it is a bit bigger so easier to hold.

If I understand the technology correctly it would have to be forcing a current through the air. The circuit would go from the car body, to the air, to the sacrificial anode...and somehow not go the short way by skipping the air.

Yeah, I have one of Meguire's wheel cleaning products which has that same chemical in it. That is a legit brand. I use it to help clean the alloy wheels on my motorcycle. I wipe it on with a rag, BTW, rather than spraying it on. It's more economical that way, and also I'm wary of spraying iron-attacking stuff around the place.

Bridges too!

Yes but they also have a sacrofical plate so those degrade instead of the hull (or bridge supports). It only works in water though, so unless you are parking your car in water it won't do anything.

Do they use something like electrolysis to deal with that kind of thing? The bridge and boat stuff is new to me.

​@@SilvaDreamsnot always our vessel is equipped with a accoustic anti fouling unit and there arent any sacrificial anodes

@@null3319 Yes but that is more for alge and microorganisms (like burrowing worms) and not for rust prevention of a metal hull.

They don’t need to be sacrificial, a lot of stuff is designed to handle transient spikes, like a good multimeter

Yep. Also its funny that the video mentions grounding it into the frame of the car when in reality in an EMP the frame is going to be dragging a lot of extra power and be the first thing causing problems

Transient Voltage Suppressors are cheap and widely available. Almost every device connected to mains will have one.

@@xFlow150 That's a related but different thing. You need that next to individual chips in order to defend against EMPs, and even then it's a one-shot solution, the second burst will take the device out.

@@tylerjohn4607 Isn't a car basically a Faraday cage anyway? Would an EMP really affect it that much?

I also like that in the video they saw, the guy did said to put the black wire to the negative side of the battery, and then the green the ground. As Angela also pointed out, why do we need to ground it to the body/chassis, when it is already done that as soon we put the black wire to the negative side of the battery? I dont know if the guy in the video had made it, but whoever had made it doesnt seem to know alot about cars before hand

in real life conditions you ain't gonna be hitting by an EMP without something even bigger to worry about (ie. nuclear explosion), even if this works instead of a massive faraday cage it's about the most meaningless thing to have

​@@user-uv5ld3cx5t high altitude nuclear detonations could fry your electronics in a very wide area with minimal damage otherwise.

If you're worried about having a vehicle post-nuke, you just grab an old diesel car and forget about all the modern electronics, they'd be liability in the apocalypse even if they survived the EMP.

@@user-uv5ld3cx5tto be fair he did mention a CME which is a much more likely scenario like another carrington level event
