/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I think you posted it.

>>1983007
Yeah, it looks like its something that will rip your hand off around any kind of machine work

This guy is a pretty useless tool

Pretty much every multitool.
I've carried this leatherman for about 6 years now.
I have only ever used the knife and little saw to success. Knife opens packages as well as any knife would. The saw as come in handy a few times but I honestly only used it because I was too lazy to just go get a real saw.

Everything else on it? Either failed or was so shit I just stopped and went to get a real tool.

Kind of sure that anyone who made or used an axe-thing with a metal handle has never actually used an axe

They're just good for the jaws. The bit holder and small strip of bits is handy too.

>>1983038
>They're just good for the jaws.
I think I've used the semi-needle nose pillars maybe twice, I guess they work well enough.
As for the "jaws" I have never used those, nor any style of pliers like pic related before. I have honestly no idea when you would ever use these style of pliers over channel locks or similar tools.

As far as bit driver goes, I don't know that model. But if using the Philips or standard bit on my leatherman are to go by, it would be awful due to the horribly ergonomic shape of the leatherman. Anything tightly threaded in is going to be a bitch to get off with a leatherman.

>>1983043
The bit drivers aren't great, but when you're fucked and don't have any real tools you've sort of got to go with what you've got
That's sort of where the multi-tools are good in so much if you're only carrying 'something' due to weight or miles from anywhere it'll get you by, mostly

I used to be into multitools and knifefaggotry and shit when I was a kid back in 2008ish, at least I had a good reason since shit was cheap back then and I couldn't buy guns,
I sold most of them off to recoop my loses. But if they came back out with this I'd be seriously tempted.

>>1983019
My leatherman gets decent use. I've used the screwdriver bits when I can't be fucked going to my tool closet and pulling one out. It has a nice pair of pliers on it too and I've used the wire cutter when working on sound systems.
My only gripe is that it's bigger than I realised, I wanted a small one I could carry around everyday but I really can't be fucked carrying this bulky thing around on my belt.

He seems very fake and isnt very knowledgeable about anything he presents. All his videos are flavor of the month memes. He posts a suicidal channel ending video like once every other year for the clicks and sympathy

Maybe some of his early chainsaw and forestry vids were okay.

He was a scammer who scammed a bunch of people in the Jeep world, then became a youtuber who doesnt know shit about what he is doing. Just your run of the mill annoying faggot who nigger rigs shit and clickbaits to make profit off of kids who have never been in the garage in their life.

Though there are tons of them, not sure why he get singled out.

>>1983017
Seems like it would offer at least a marginal convenience over a normal adjustable wrench but I'd be concerned about how robust (or not) the mechanism is compared to the thumb screw type.

>>1983019
I have a multitool and I don't carry it often but i have carried it "just in case" instead of my entire toolbox and it has proved useful for very basic functions. It's nice to have pliers, wirecutters, a knife, a saw, a flat and a philips driver, bottle opener, and scissors that will all fit in one hand and carries lightweight and unobtrusively on a belt clip. Don't get me wrong every time I've used it I would have VASTLY PREFERRED the "real" version of whatever tool(s) I used on the multi, but the point is I had the multitool when I didn't have the real tool(s) available.

>>1983043
>why use slip joint over groove joint

Access; smaller overall and can grab straight-on while groove joints typically require you to grip from an angle. Under ideal conditions yes there is a lot of redundancy or even inferiority (grooves will open wider and grip MUCH harder) but this is kind of like asking why you'd want to own a set of sockets when groove joint pliers can adjust to all the same sizes.

>>1983030
The knife would be as usable as a knife with a blade as small as that. Rope bracelets aren't particularly useful most of the time, but it's a method of storing cord. A knife clasp bracket? Silly, perhaps, but it serves it's purpose of having a blade and rope. I don't really see how it competes with the tread on retard factor.

>>1983090
Everyone hates him bc he looks like an insecure wife beating faggot

>>1983085
Early on, he had a pretty good channel; lots of hand carpentry/forestry/homesteading vids, not much else. Then he started making the tool shill money, nearly stopped doing the interesting vids. I stopped watching completely about a year ago when he decided he needed to start using clickbait titles.

>>1983030
Fuck, the only thing that buckle will do is give you a quick release from life.

This is the worst I've actually laid hands on. A gift from some event if I recall.

Hammer is too light for anything but the lightest tack. Pliers don't open wide enough, or grip. Using any tool that folds out needs an awkward grip to avoid the claw digging into your hand.

Carry this everyday, screwdrivers useless but my main can opener. Wife always ask to borrow cuz she can't fin other opener.

>>1983015
is he a hapa? Something about the way he looks bothers me.

>>1983396

Urgh, Paracord. I pity the fools wearing paracord bracelets because they think they're gonna get into some sort of crazy survival situation in the middle of the civilized western world.

>the point is I had the multitool when I didn't have the real tool(s) available

Multitools are great for having basic functionality without lugging around an entire toolbox with you everywhere you go. I bring my leatherman with me anytime I'm working on anything in the house, because having a shitty flat head, philips, knife, pliers, and wirecutter is infinitely better than forgetting one thing and having to crawl down the ladder again or walk across the entire house just to get one little tool you forgot.

>not loving the whole Mach range
Don’t forget those ridiculous ratchets where you jerk off the handle to spin the socket. I picked one up in the store once and I don’t understand how you have any control of where the socket stays when you are yanking it.

Has anybody used pic related? I saw some Husky ones at Home Depot, concerning. Reminds me of the Gearwrench ratcheting flare nut wrenches which about 2/3 of people find useless, and I was surprised GW would put out a tool so universally hated.

>>1983709
I wish I bought the T-handle when they used to be on sale, but then again I have several t-handles and never use them.

The yankee mechanism is pretty awful for anything that isn't strictly machine screws, great for cover plates though.

>>1983716
I got one of those T-handles. IIRC, it was basically free because they gave me all these coupons and “Freecash” and the retarded BS Sears would do. I haven’t really used it though, 12V impact driver works for me.

Also I just remembered, based Craftsman Mach tools and all the retardation, it can fits sockets on two spots so you can use it ad a breaker bar, but it’s 1/4” drive and who the hell needs a 1/4” breaker bar? Also it’s sort of unbalanced with the socket holder on one end.

literally all 'survival' gear is 100% trash

>>1983347

>>1983714

Actual true real life story.
When I was 12 years old the shoelaces on my chink ass shoes snapped and I restrung my shoes with paracord from my paracord bracelet.

>>1983746
Skip the ratcheting ones. Google them and read all the complaints.

I will shill for the flex head flare nut wrenches tho. Those are solid. There’s one in pic related, they will save your ass from taking apart unnecessary stuff.

>>1983746
>>1983792
Here’s the ratcheting flare nut wrenches. I don’t think the physics work unless it’s a low-torque job. Once you put muscle into it, those jaws are going to spread.

A couple more candidates..:

Pic related is the 2nd version. The first one came out a few years back with NiCd batteries, released by a bunch of chinks. Now it’s back on Kickstarter, they hired a couple American marketing guys to act as the face of the company, hoping people don’t tie them to the failed green NiCd version before they raise some cash on Kickstarter.

Actually the fundraiser might be done now. You can still find the Amazon listing with horrible reviews of the old one. I forget the name of the old company, but the new one is the DOER, they made a fancy video with the couple American guys but then you read the company website and see it’s a total scam. The worst shitty HF drill and saw all packed into a $600 box and running off a small chink 18V lithium pack, nothing will ever cut anywhere close to straight.

>>1983595
He had covid vaccine just a few hours ago

>>1983800
Just looked at the Kickstarter, $1.2mil raised of $40k goal.

And on Amazon, there’s another one. It’s all the same Chinkshit. The Doer made some money from the flashy Youtube vid that went somewhat viral. Put some blue plastic in the molds instead of orange and you have the Power8 for $549 on Amazon.

yeah, that flashlight/window breaker/can opener is totally going to save your life one day.

every "professional" youtuber uses click bait. otherwise they wouldn't make any money.

>>1984130
No, it wasn't, you think some boomer cared about what steel his buck 110 was made out of? People used to use 420hc just fine and you know what they'd do if it was dull? They'd just sharpen it.
I remember 12 or 10 years ago when 154cm and s30v were like really high end.
I was looking around recently out of curiosity and now people say those are midrange and
instead hype up something with like 20 percent chromium content or whatever shit. Meanwhile they talk about shit like "breaking down cardboard all day" or using them for cutting up carpet with their $300 super special ultra limited run spyderco spirit knives. As if it wouldn't make much more sense to use a fucking utility knife for that instead like every other sane person in the world.
Then there is the ludicrous "testing" that goes on, OH I GOTTA SEE IF THIS KNIFE WITH A 2 INCH BLADE CAN BATONNY CHOP CHOP 12 INCH DIAMETER LOG IN HALF.
It seems like the use cases of anyone making a video on youtube about a knife is either cutting open their packages for their new knife, or trying to chop down a tree with it like a retard.

Lol. Even in the blade general forums I was talking about making a knife out of some steel I have kicking around already and a few people started in with, "OMG YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME... YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE A KNIFE OUT OF ANYTHING... IT HAS TO BE THE PERFECT STEEL!"

>>1984508
Not really at all. You probably wouldn't even pass out.

>>1984174
>, you think some boomer cared about what steel his buck 110 was made out of?
Yes, it was "american steel" vs german or japanese or chinese steel. This included tooling like saw blades and drill bits and everything else with different levels of carbon and tool steels.

Globalization has greatly changed that nowadays and your choices are vast, people are now far more into the actual metalurgy as technology progresses, dont act like its a thing.

Whats the point in getting mad that people care intensely about metallurgy and heat treatments, or that they like to collect things?
If you want cheap beater knives, then buy cheap beater knives and dont go looking at the forums which love bleeding edge technology.

>>1984516
There is some truth to that.
Its cheap and easy to grab something like D2 where you can heat treat it and manufacture your form from it easily in the garage.
The people using mystery steel and other complete junk steels are wasting their time. Using a shitty steel doesnt make the process harder, it just makes your end product unusable.

>>1984174
>154cm and s30v
I still rate those as a fairly premium steel, at least for those of us doing low volume production its quite an expensive base material to make a knife out of and not really something the home beater can heat treat in a propane forge without any level of accuracy.
People can whack on anything and make knives out of it for practice, personal use and what not, but when you're moving into selling them at not inconsiderable prices to other people you do need to have a bit of leeway in terms of knowing what you're making, being able to consistently reproduce those results and deliver something to them which 'is what it says it is' so they're also confident in your product. For the big manufacturers though, its even more a purely industrial process involving tonnes of steel, 1000's of customers and a good percentage of those customers are somewhere in the borderline retarded to not very bright spectrum and will destroy anything nice- then of course its destructive to the company as some spastic manages to snap off one of their knives on twitter or facebook because they're batoning through a frozen chicken with a high hardness knife.

Its not that the company (or knife maker) did a bad job, but they managed to find the special kind of tool user you wouldn't trust with a crowbar, let alone a sharp object, then after 50-100k re-tweets your company now looks like a cunt if they don't replace it for free

these stupid ass "safety" gas cans. Fuck my retarded ass for ever buying one of these without realizing what a cumbersome mess they are. Gotta do a whole song and dance just to pour gas into your tank. Then do it again after you're done. Oh, what's that? You want to pour a splash of gas down your carb? FUCK YOU NIGGER, MOTHERFUCKING GAS TSUNAMI. And lord have mercy if the retarded ass priming mechanism on yours BREAKS after like 2 months of owning the thing, now you have to hold you hand in a particular spot every time you pour gas. I can't believe these pieces of shit ever hit the market.

came here to post this

I was given one of these by a client, a little old lady who had a lot of them for some reason. she was very nice. I thanked her for the gift, and actually tried to use it a couple times. the flashlight feature was decent, and the pen part worked, but the multitude of easily-lost bits and bobs that you have to screw and unscrew to get to any of its features is obnoxious. the only part I got any real use out of was the whistle, which works great for annoying coworkers. I actually have no idea where it is now, I took it out of my tool bag after a week and it's since disappeared.

>>1985076

Selling shit on the merits of being cool in videos of chopping pigs in half and being retarded strong beats selling 1 ounce carbon fiber knives made out of titanium meteorite alloy with 1 billion rockwell hardness to some office worker who uses it to open mail while larping as survivor man online.

Hammer's with extremely curved claws. Just useless compared to straight claws. Much harder to pry things or remove nails from tight spaces. The idea is that it'll remove the nails straighter so they can be reused but who would reuse a 3c nail anyway.

Also the ridiculous screwdrivers that some dumbass hipster nutsack was trying to shill on /diy/ a few years ago. He clearly never actually used even a screwdriver in his life, because they looked a stainless-steel Apple design with all rounded corners and the handle was a plain cylinder with rounded ends and no grip.

You getting so assmad about this makes me chuckle.

>>1985545
Well from what I can see, the personality you want to project is some flimsy superiority on your soapbox because of your ignorance and contrarianism on the new knife steels.

Trying to ride the fence and say you used to be into higher end knives but now its too much doesnt help. As if anything was different 10 years ago as it is now.
It wasnt, there were still people lauding their gas station knives and bitching that others would nerd out about new blades, and there was still people buying expensive bleeding edge supersteel knives in collectable sprint runs not giving a shit about outsiders thought.

Detractors like you in any hobby just get ignored.

They can retail it for however much they want to. Doesn't mean anyone will actually buy that overpriced useless piece of shit.

Why do you shit on cold steel? They market their products as edgy larp stuff but they don't try to conceal the fact that most of it is basically for fun. They also make quality products despite the branding which is what makes the difference.

>>1987916
What other options do you have for a good multitool? SOG is gay and there is like one decent lookint Victorinox.

Fuck these companies making political statements. They’re so dumb. The Twitter gun-grabbers aren’t buying Leathermans and Yetis for fishing and hunting, why try to appease them?

Dick’s is a lost cause anyway. Judging on their store layouts, they care more about yoga pants than any real outdoor stuff. Disappointing with Gander Mtn and Academy going down, plus Cabela’s getting absorbed by Bass Pro.

>>1988018
Different anon, but Cold Steel has consistently been behind the curve with garbage steels and retarded designs since the mid 90s.
Their camping stuff is mediocre.
Its marketed to mallninjas,. For gods sake, they have a man grapple Stone Cold Steve Austin signature knife.

They have had good designs here and there, but on the whole it's literally mall ninja garbage.
I have a first release, Dual steel liner American Lawman with the triad lock.
It's a fucking monster, but even then the steel is mediocre and the black blade coating chipped off with my fingernail. And then of course they got rid of the liners to cheap out on subsequent runs.

Oh and it's a really bad time to shill for Cold Steel.
Lynn just sold the company to GSM outdoors who has shown in the past to not give a fuck about proper knife steels and technologies.
Expect to see blister pack Cold Steel chinese shit on shelves at department stores soon.

More recently they've had some of the best price performance ratios on the market. Not many other non chink brands offer a four inch knife in s35 for $100. It's mall ninja, but it's not garbage. I'm sad about the sale but Lynn and demko are staying so I hope it'll stay how it is

I actually use this exact model at work (upholstery). It exposes much more of the blade than other utility knives, which is perfect for cutting apart seams. It is very small and weighs next to nothing, so I can throw it on my tool belt without any extra bulk.

I use that for army stuff every now and then. You're not wrong, the wooden handle fell off a few months later but I still find a use for it in the motor pool.

Would it be a smart idea to have a metal version of this? Or is the fact a knife is on ever multi tool render this pointless?

>>1990497
Just do a razor blade in the wallet. I have been through security so many times where I can’t bring a pocket knife and thr blade always gets through.

>>1985105
Nah, they have their uses. Claw can be hooked on to things, easier to nail with in tighter spaces, and, depending how the head was shaped, the claw is a much more solid nail starter than a magnetic one. Some prefer the feel or balance of the head. I'm sure there are other things people of the past used to do with them that's lost to the people of today.

all his reviews and comparisons just reek of bias, basically nothing in the video matters, since he's still gonna rate his favourite "American" company best.

>>1983019
I've had several multi-tools and I have to say Leatherman is a superior brand.. it's the only brand I can actually grip the pliers and not kill my hand, and it's thinner than the chink shit. I personality miss the PST2, that had nice scissors and a diamond groove file for sharpening other tools (also, the super thin regular screwdriver/punch was good for picking cheap locks. shhhh), but besides those my current tool (Rebar) is rather comparable. Trading in the hook/descaler for a second knife (one traditional pocketknife and the other a sharp edge serrated) seemed redundant at first, but I found over the few years I've had it I do use both, when I've never used a descaler.

I agree with other anons, in most cases it falls between having the "real" tool and muh limp dick, but there are exceptions. For example, I can position the handle in a L shape, which allows me to push into a screw head and have leverage for twisting, so sometimes I find the letterman more useful than even the "real" tool, though those moments do tend to be few and far between.

EPA and overpaid engineers are to blame for these pieces of shit. I almost blinded myself with 2 stroke because these stupid fuckers don't let the pressure out unless gas comes out with it and it overfilled my leafblowers tank and gushed out.

Only newer type gas can I like, it stop pouring the gas automatically when the tank fill line hits the nozzle and you can press the button anytime and vents out the button in the back instead of the nozzle itself.

I do, but it seems weird that the multi-tool can't service itself.

>>1993036
>when I was abusing it
Well there’s your problem.

Knife makers love using goofy hardware, my guess is they got lots of warranty returns with mangled hardware and the service department didn’t enjoy removing metric hex screws that were fucked by an owner with a cheap half rounded SAE hex key. Or the owner takes it apart, loses parts or assembles the thing poorly, and sends it to the warranty department because shit doesn’t open and close properly anymore.

You can’t generally service a tool by using that same tool, chicken or egg.

They're sloppier than a regular open end, and you've got to turn them 60 degrees to ratchet, which you'd probably be faster just using an open end the regular way.

Also, they're one way, so you can't flip them over to get that extra little bit of access.

I never have to gap the plugs because they’re always nearly right on.

>>1995158
>>1995202

These days spark plugs (for the most part) come pregapped. Going a bit further, many "special" plugs (e.g. iridium) specifically say not to regap as it can damage electrodes or their coatings.

If you're using standard plugs, it is still good to check the gap, but I too have noticed it has not been necessary to regap anything in at least a decade; the pregap has been good.

>>1995345
i think on old plugt the electrode wears down over time and the gap increases.

with new materials the wear is next to nothing.

>>1989187
well, you have an Axeblade

>>1992900

big fan of that bose speaker. I wonder where I left mine.

>>1995345
Yes sir but I am no spring chicken (43) and there are creative applications outside the box. >>1995483
I guess, but the systems as a whole are more efficient. Some of the first types of distributorless ignitions are still used in modern design and spark every time the piston is on the upstroke. Twice as often as needed as they spark during exhaust for no reason other than crankshaft position. They stay clean but the gap gets wide from molecular transfer or magic.
>>1994360
I still like you alright. It has been a non-issue for decades because a plug cost about the same as a gallon of gas but, that's getting expensive. People may go back to cleaning instead of throwing away perfectly serviceable shit.

>>1995588
> I'm no spring chicken .. creative applications outside the box.

Ha ha, me too, and true dat.

>>1995483
It's less about the materials and more about the modern ignition systems. The electronic coil or CDI systems spark in excess of 100kv and usually spark in pairs (in some types, if you remove the cables off the same coil pair, the spark will jump the terminals). It may seem counterintuitive at first, but the high voltage helps reduce wear and prolong the spark plugs.

>>1995544
I had one of the bigger ones for the original iPods like 15 years ago. I let my friend borrow it at college, he lost the power cable when he brought it to a dorm room party. Then a few months later he got caught stealing shit from unlocked cars, they searched his car, found my Bose dock back there, and took that shit to the evidence locker, never to be seen again.

>>1995588
>cleaning instead of throwing away
I’m pretty sure it’s people with transverse V6’s and boxer engines that don’t give a fuck about service or replacement, they would rather leave those cunts in forver. Iridium FTW. Also aluminum threads, lots of heat cycles and many years means fun times.

I also have never gapped a plug because if the engine is running rough and there’s any chance it could be a bad plug, they’re so cheap that I buy new ones to rule them out. Most of the time the plugs are fine, and if the plugs are fucked up, it’s a result of a different issue.

>>1995132

I bought a pair of regular Milwaukee channels locks and they were the worst fucking tool I've ever used in my life. I'm a total fanboy for their power tools but holy hell I was not impressed with their hand tools. They rusted when kept in a tool box, wouldn't bite anything, and would pinch your hand bad if they slipped. I got their 11n1 screwdriver after I lost my Klein version. Inferior to Klein's in every way. GOAT power tools, awful hand tools.

>>1998498
I’m still tempted to buy one of their socket sets, but their stuff is kinda overpriced for Asian tools. The 3/8” set in that packout container looks like a good to-go set to toss in the car for emergencies. Those v-jaws are only like $5 less than Knipex and way worse in pretty much every way.
