    1) You know you're a mechanic when you're most excited about tools over any other product. 2) The wrenches are very useful for hard lines, to get them off you can simply just have the wrench move off the fitting, while it's over the line you'd be able to spin the ratcheting end by hand afterwards.

    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.

    The EMP protector would use MOVs (metal oxide varistors) and spark gaps just like the ones we put on home electrical panels to protect homes from lightning strikes. The reason for the connection to the chassis is because high voltages travel on the surface of conductors and not through the conductors so it will travel on the surfaces of the vehicle. Whether it would protect against an actual EMP is questionable because there is no place for it to go to earth ground unless the tires are wet. Though the pulse is microseconds, it has no place to go to get away from the electronics. Notice the chains hanging from the bottom of fire engines. They provide the path for the electricity to go to the ground which would blow the main circuit breaker if a stream of water or a ladder hits a power line. The ones for homes do work because the electrical panels are connected to earth ground. Just a bit of information, "If a powerline falls on your car, DON'T get out of the car unless it is on fire. When your foot hits the ground you will be electrocuted. Stay in the vehicle until help arrives. If you have to get out, jump out without touching the vehicle and the ground at the same time and then hop away with both feet together." A lesson from the electric company. I enjoy your videos.

    ​@@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

    My grandfather was a firefighter and first aid trainer, and he always had a seatbelt cutter velcro-taped next to the driver's seat in all his cars. Not so much to free himself if he got stuck after an accident, but in case he arrives at an accident site and can't get an injured person out of a wrecked car because he can't get to the seatbelt buckle. Or he is injured in his own wrecked car and someone finds him and can't get at the buckle either. And with injured people in a mangled car, you really don't want to struggle with a knife on the setbelt next to their necks. Seatbelt cutters really would be a handy to tool to have within reach in such situations.

  • @Lurch-Bot

    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.

    Electrical engineer here! Regarding the EMP clip at 14:38 , well. Its complete nonsense. What an EMP is is defined pretty well by Tony, but what its also capable of, especially a nuclear level EMP blast, is capable of frying circuits without a power source as it can incur induction in the circuits (remember how generators are actually just motors whose shaft is made to spin in a magnetic field to produce electricity? Think that except a billion times stronger in terms of nuclear EM energy), overload the circuits without any power sources attached to them and effectively fry them all. In other words, that shunt mod for the battery is worthless if the circuitry themselves are still vulnerable. And the makers of the product will know this too. Complete scam.

    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.

    That corrosion control module...loll! I'm a drafter, and have done about 7 years total doing cathodic protection, which is the principle they're implying they're using. It is a real thing, and it is used in various applications, such as bridges, ships, and even buried pipelines. However, there is a slight problem. To borrow a paragraph from Line-X: These devices depend on a circuit being completed. For bridges the wet soil completes the circuit. For ships the salt water completes the circuit. The air around your vehicle does not complete the circuit for your car. Unless you drive in water constantly or park your vehicle in the soil (or in salt water) you cannot complete the circuit and thus cathodic protection is worthless when it comes to protecting your vehicle. Hope that helps explain it! In short, they're trying to describe a real thing that works. Just, it doesn't work on cars.

    For those who don't speak science - EMP is like if you put electricals in a microwave. The problem isn't to do with grounding, it's that delicate components get doused with energy that burns them out, sometimes literally bursting into flame. The EMP (or microwaves or radio waves or whatever) doesn't care about there being a circuit, or a ground, or whatever. It's simply that the EM waves arrive at something that is about the right size and (think radio antenna) and dump some energy. It creates a LOT of amperage, more than the system is designed for, so things burn out. Oh and lots of parts of the same system will burn out, because the EMP arrives at any part of the system that is about the right size to pick it up.

    a major thing most people don't understand is that intake manifolds are designed to get equal air volume within the plenum and maintain it through all engine operation, they don't do any trick air dynamics stuff like people think. the cylinder itself is going to determine how much air it takes in on its intake stroke as it sucks the air from the intake manifold. you can boost intake pressures with a turbo/super charger so once the valve begins to open and the intake pressure being greater than cylinder pressure will result in the intake pressure actually forcing air into the cylinder, couple that with the intake stroke and you usually get a volumetric efficiency of 110% or greater. most fuel atomization is cause by heat and how fine of a mist you can generate at the fuel injector, naturally the finer mist coupled with engine heat will result in rapid if not instant total fuel evaporation and atomization upon injection. before direct injection they did port injection, this allowed a greater exposure to hot air and movement which increased atomization. today the best atomization is achieved by high pressure direct injection, jaguar and land rover love high pressure direct injection. you guys should light a BBQ and then try to put it out with that stuff.

    16:30 As someone who actually knows a bit about this kind of thing, that box won't do shit. An EM event like an EMP / CME won't affect the 12V system since the battery is very low impedance and the computer modules are designed to handle lots of interference (like the millions of mini EMPs produced by the spark plugs). An actual EM event would affect the sensitive, high impedance data lines inside the vehicle, likely going to the processor in one of your modules and directly cooking it. You can EMP proof a vehicle but it essentially means building a giant bus bar under the hood and running grounds from literally everything to that bus bar, plus wrapping literally every wiring harness in a specialized copper mesh sheathing that is repetitively grounded based on the frequencies you want to shunt, for defending against a real EMP you'd want to run grounds from the shielding on your wiring harnesses at a standard spacing of every 6 inches at least. You don't want more then an inch or two of wire to be unshielded. I've done this kind of stuff before because when you're building a railgun or near a really high power RF source literally everything around it gets EMP'd .

    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

    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.

    As far as the ratcheting flare nut wrenches, generally you would be able to move the wrench along the line far enough to get it off of the hex part of the fitting, so you then could rotate the ratchet by hand to line up the opening. So I think it would be a good setf or someone who uses flare wrenches a lot.

    It was sick that you actually showed up to Sandro’s shop and tested this product out. We definitely need more of that!

    It was so good to see them go and test it out at Sandro’s shop, I’d definitely like to see more of that or some more practical stuff on the channel.
