THIS VIDEO WILL DRIVE YOUR NUTS - SECRET HACK YOU DON'T KNOW! 

Wont lie Vince... when i first saw the image for the vid, all i could see was an absolutely shredded finger with the bone sticking out.

"You might have another random guy on the job site that picks up the gum and puts it in n his mouth" lmao. 🤣🤣🤣

Just keep an "egg" of silly putty in the truck, you will never pick up enough metal chips to ruin it. Thats what we use in machining to clean magnets.

Sheet metal gasket for sealing ductwork works really well, ask a tin knocker for some!!

"You might have a guy on the job who picks up random things and puts them in his mouth..." Funny, I didn't know we've worked with the same crews.

😂😂😂dont pop the gum back in ur mouth after u take the shavings out.

Great hack, I have one of my own that you should try. When using hole saws in heavy steel or stainless steel wrap the holes on the sides of the hole saw with electric tape then fill the hole saw with pellet ice or crushed ice. Drill at a medium speed with moderate pressure. The ice will keep the hole saw and the material cold (important with stainless steel since it will get hard if it heats up), the melting ice provides plenty of lubrication as well as helping to flush the chips out. Also cleanup is easy compared to using oil (I work in lots of restaurant kitchens where they can’t have lubricating oil residue). This will greatly extend the life of your hole saws as well as cutting a “cleaner” hole. I’ve been using this method for more than 10 years not only drilling stainless steel but also 3/16” to 3/8” steel and occasionally 1/2” steel. To keep the hole saws and arbor from rusting just spray it with WD-40 after you are done.

Vince is like a uncle who knows his stuff a person to really listen too because no one in field what’s to show you the way and here Vince giving us more than we can watch pretty cool man keep the good work very cool gang this is my main channel.

Damn it Vince, when l started in this line there were still Dinosaurs on the earth, yet you teach me new things and show me tools and bits and bags l never knew existed. Thanks boss, you are a pro.

Those Malco bits are amazing! I do hvac installs for a living and have no idea how I lived without them! Great videos guys, keep up the good work

Chewing gum with metal shavings makes you a tougher Man.

I love this bit. As a commercial hvac tech I use the hell out of this bit.

Im in the metal building business and all you deal with is 5/16 or 3/8 Nut drivers when fastening walls or roofs. And with every metal building theirs butyl tape aka mastic. Its what you use on your roof sheet laps in order to waterproof. It comes in rolls so just cut a piece of roll. Roll it up in a ball and press your nut driver into and clean. Same principle. Also if you're in a jam just use a fasteners your using stick it inside the nut driver on angle and run your tool in forward and reverse upside down so shrapnel doesn't come flying at your eyes

I love how now at days u have to tell people NOT to re chew the gum with metal in it. Lol .

Ok here is the real deal. After you clean out the metal shaving with your gun pass the gum thru your Klein magnetizer and stick the "magnetized gum" on the side of your cordless tools. BAM more power and no need for tape and wires to hold the additional magnets on to the tool.

I use a stronger neodymium magnet to clean my magnetic deep well sockets works great and instant results magnetic pickup tool should work depending on poll alignment

Duct seal from the depot always works $3 bucks for a pound of it and it’s reusable. But the bubblegum leave the nut driver minty fresh!

I personally use the adhesive gum type material that duct guys use to seal 2 ducts together. Leave a little piece stuck to the outside of my hardhat

I suggest poster putty. It doesn't dry out and isn't sticky. You can reuse it and you can stick it inside the lid of your tool box to hold up your "Don't touch my tool box" poster.

Chuck Norris chews on the bit, then pushes it into the gum💪🏼😜🤣😂

Drinking game- every time Vince says "very frankly" ! Just bustin' your chops, Vince! Good tip!

I use a kneaded blob of blu tak for this, works for getting filings off guitar pickups too, and it ain't sticky

Nice tip, never knew this one. I've always used another magnet to pull out the shavings, (tip)use a more powerful magnet than the one in the nut driver, and one that you can clean off the shavings from.

Vince, man I appreciate the Content. You and your crew have been very helpful with me and my decision making with different tools. Thank you for the tips and tricks, and most of all thank you and your crew for taking time out your busy day to create.

A couple of years ago i found a stray Geomag magnet on the ground and stuck it to the inside of my trailer with my magnet collection. This kids creative toy is about 30x6mm. Perfect removing metal filings. Can find used Geomag kits on ebay

Duct sealing compound works great too. Keep a little in your tool bag or stuck to your hard hat.

I have been using the reversible Malco driver bits for two or three years . Before that I still would only use Malco driver bits. And in the world of HVAC the magnet does get quite dirty quite often. Chewing gum to clean it I used Silly putty. Silly Putty might sound silly but it will clean your driver bit magnet and it will clean your hands and it will clean your other tools as well. If for any reason I didn't have used up ,lost ,or stolen, I would just clean it out with pressure. An air compressor, or my drain gun, or my oxygen tank from my oxy acetylene torch, my nitrogen tank that was used for clearing out line sets and pressure tests, I'm not going to actually say that I would clean the magnet off with freon sometimes, because y'all weren't there, you didn't see me do it, so you can't prove nothing. But mainly it was the silly putty.

another way I get my magnetized bits clean as if you got an air compressor I use compressed air to blow the chip shavings out it works awesome get some super clean any magnets you got have metal shavings it will take them right off

I used to pick or tap on the ground until now. Thank you very much 👍👍👍

Put the pointed tip of screw into bit. Squeeze trigger while holding tip in bit. Spins shavings right out. Been doing it this way for 20 years.

In our industry, sheet metal workers. We usually use mac-tac HVAC sealant. We grab a bit of the roll and stick it to our toolboxes or cart and use that to clean the inside of the driver. But when the driver is no good we just throw them away and get a new one. But I am definitely looking at the removable malco brand driver as my replacement.

Great video & totally amazed, keep them coming.

Now that’s an awesome tip! Definitely looks like it works better (and cheaper) than the detailing clay from the local auto parts store. Lol, it never occurred to me as I don’t chew gum but I do happen to keep it stocked along side the mason jar of spearmint life savers on the shelf over my bench for my ‘assistants’. Funnier still, it is Trident as that’s what they prefer. I’ll have to tell the boys they’ve increased in value yet again 🤣 I was unaware of the double sided sockets let alone the sockets in the Makita gold kits. Great information as usual. Thanks to Joe Shearer (sorry if misspelled) for the hack tip and Vince for resharing it here. Love learning something new every day. Stay safe.

Awesome hack! Everyone may not have this available to them on the job but being an ironworker and usually sheeting when im using the nut drivers, we have mastic (caulking tape) available to us. Thats what I use on the job. It does stick probably alot worse than your gum hack but ive never had any problem with it actually sticking inside the bit and having to dig it out. Just another hack if you forgot your chewing gum or dont chew gum and have the mastic available to you.

Already knew about the Malco so I've had no need since for the gum trick. I've been carrying the Malco for over a year now. All I have to do to clean it is pop it off the shank and pinch the shavings off the end of the shank. Only broke one but it was extremely abused and had sunk 1,000s of screws (many into concrete, about as abusive as you can be to a nut driver). Even then, all that broke was half of the magnet chipped off. So now that's my back up bit because I'd rather have a nut driver with half a magnet than no magnet at all and worse yet, no nut driver at all. And as soon as I get rid of my spare I'll lose my main one of course so I guess it's cheap insurance.

Hahaha you are so damn funny. Love your videos!

Personally, I went to the store I now call The Buck&A Quarter Store(formerly used to sell products for $1-A Dollar!!). I bought a package of their poster putty. The bonus part is no saliva Westend tools or bits that only leads to rusty busted lookin tools-which I do not want even more than the metal shavings!! Anywho-thank me later guys!! 😎

I tried this trick with some used gum a guy left on the job...it wasnt moist enuff so I gave it a chew...IT WAS FULL OF SHAVINGS! Now I gotta lisp but my gutters are on!!!thx vcg

I use automotive 3m door/window sealer we have at work. It can be use multiple times! Very sticky stuff, I'll leave a ball of it on the bench and clean the bits out whenever I need. Plus i have this dewalt 5/16 that you can slide the magnet up and brush the metals off by hand

On cleaning out but driver bits I use a pill bottle filled with duct seal and add couple drops of oil so it not sticky clean bits put cap back on and back in tool bag.

as an hvac guy myself i always carry at least 5 of those 5/16 & 1/4 inch bits on my truck at all times so if one is jammed up with shavings i just use another one....i bought 12 of the dewalt ones for $10 plus i have a few of the malco reversible ones...dont get me wrong...its a great tip but i hardly ever chew gum so the chances of that working for me are slim to none #justsayin

I like the trick and it would work well for ally but for steel I keep a bigger more powerful rare earth magnet on hand for doing this. The results are instant and no prep time.

😂 The fact that you had to even say something about people picking up old gum is awesome......sad but very true!!!!! Loved this video!!!

Aww man you kill me. "When you're done cleaning your tip throw it away, don't stick it on a table and some random guy comes by and pop it in their mouth".

Use mastic/tapesealer for installing metal roof panels. We stick a 1" ball of it to the top of our screwguns so if you get some shaving in your bit you can clean it out.

great vid vince wish i would have known this years ago i can finally take the pair of tweezers out of my bag lolol

There is another hack for this if you work in the hvac industry and you install duct work the gasket that is put on tdc joints work fantastic for removing the metal in the nut runner

Great trick. I’ve used everything from tapes, caulk, and picks to get back to work. Never once thought to use gum.

That secondary tip was priceless.

The seal putty when you are putting together steel buildings works the best. It is sticky enough to get the shavings and strong enough to not stick in the bit.

I just take my trim drive flat blade screwdriver & stick it in the tip & flick it out. Works great. I've seen people stick various things in the tip & hit the trigger for 2 seconds but that doesn't work. Magnet slides them around but they'll remain there. Chewing gum is clever, however you'd be going through alot of gum & now your tip is attracting more dirt

Dear Vince, how about a video about the best concrete SDS+ drill bit. And later one about the best metal drill bit. With the latest models. Thanks

From the thumbnail I thought your finger got ripped apart

So THAT'S it!!! THAT'S what all those metal shavings were in that piece of gum i pulled off the bottom of the job box and ate!!! Thanks Vince and God bless😂😂

Hi Vince great idea Cobber but I actually use my compressor with my air blower. I also turn drill on and spin the hex- driver. Cheers mate love your show. 😁

Gotta love that guy that picks up random things and puts it in his mouth at the job site

🗣Dentin, only Vince can come up with some crazy hack😂😆😂😆👍🏼

They need to make em deeper for sure. The new makita xps drivers feel really strong and they have straight edges for a tighter fir aswell. I always chew mine after cleaning my bit. Sure it cuts ur mouth but gets the flavor in ur blood quicker.

I was just going to ask if I could keep chewing the gum after the cleaning. 🤣🤣 lmao

Great hack no matter how gross it is. I'll stick to compressed air though until it's not an option. In which case I'll resort to this. Thanks Vince!

Best tip ever... Well done. Can you please do a video with the next year Milwaukee releases, I believe you have inside information....

It's even worse when those shavings get in to your Milwaukee extensions with the magnetic tips 😡 Then nothing sticks! Great video. Glad to see your channel expand!

What about trying to put a stronger magnet on top to pull the shavings out from the weaker magnet. Not sure if it will work but worth a try.

Yo Vince, 55K subs now my man. Amazing growth. Let's keep it going. Nice hack by the way.

Amazing! Actual „hack” is in 6th minute of this 10 minutes film, and you can present it in 7 seconds (plus 10 minutes of „i’m gona show you…”)

Natural lubricant! Haha good one!

How many packs of gum do you go through in a day? I think a better idea is KEEP your gum where it belongs, and keep 1 of the Harbor Freight magnets in your pocket and when you want to clean out the nutdriver put it up to the opening and the shavings should transfer to the magnet because it's a stronger magnet. Enjoy your GUM !!😃😀😃 Rodney

Thanks Vince!! Great hack!!

I gotta start doing this. My coworkers lost/broke about 8 of my tools in 2 months.

I’m in the HVAC field and what I learned from the other guys is that you use this particular tape called HardCast. It has a silver surface and a thick tan/gray tap surface underneath it and so you fold it up and stuff it into the driver and the shavings comes right off. It was pretty neat when they showed me.

I might need to produce my own gum brand now Vince 😂

Just so happen to run across this channel and I gotta say. Its informable and entertaining you got a subscriber in me.

That's a great idea Vince. Thanks a lot.

HVAC guys just use cork tape. That’s what I use and keep a small amount in my bag. Thanks for the gum tip though. Good to know just another way to get the job done.

Magnetic bits on percussion drivers are a false economy the repeated percussion eventually demagnetizes the bit, but generally the magnet just shatters inside the bit.

Another old video I love man please do more of this type of content. Either way u rock brotha keep up the great content I’ll be awatchin

Get a compressor and blow it out with the air. Works very good! I know i know not everybody has one but it works

I use needle nose or a pick and never had issue. Also have used a rag and alcohol so 🤷‍♂️

Congratulations on 55k! I can’t keep up with you, but keep going! Great videos!👍. I could go for some gum now!

Wow bro! Who would’ve thunk it? Thanks for the hack brother. I have to go clean all my nutdriver bits now.

I love the way you make videos. greetings from Mexico.

Nice I use double sided tap for metal roofs.i had to buy some 1/4 bits today. No one wants slippy bits.

I'm going to make my girls watch this video when they get home from school to show them where not to stick chewing gum around the house. The chewing gum hack was brilliant! One of the firms I worked for they used to use blu-tak to remove the burs our of the nut setter.

Or you can add heat, at which point the magnet will temporarily loose it's magnetic properties. Then just tap out the shavings. An electrical current should work too as long as it creates heat. Beware too much heat will ruin the magnet... Hope it helps:) Science!

I used for years is the gasket gum for duct work. Now I just use the malco bit is great

The malco double sided bits are a time saver

Hey Vince and neck you should try poster tack to it works pretty good the white or the blue all right guy you take care connect to cake hair that little one the quit smoking

Dope as hell !!! Im doing this now. Thanks!!

Hey man , can u give me your opinion on Bosch vs dew alt drill for home use . Fro drilling g all kinds of stuff , metal . Wood , brick etc.. I'm kinda a DIY GUY . Thanks

Ommmmggg Vince u are hilarious

Wow,nice tip Vince.Great hack.cool Videos.

Lmaoo 🤣🤣🤣 you might have a random guy at the job site that just likes to chew other peoples gums 😃

Running right now to buy some Trident gums 🚗💨💨💨💨 Thks Vince!

Hi

No frickin way that one heck of a good idea you are so helpful with these great ideas and tricks saves on buying new thanks again for the useful tip

Just having people not borrow your tools makes this method great

I blow them out with the air compressor . Tip- make sure you blow away from your face.

I don't always chew gum but when I do I chew Trident Tin.

For my electricians who have duck seal I have used it to get out crud from the nut drivers.

Love your vids man!
