Is cheaping out worth it? Today we test a bunch of cheap vs expensive tools around the shop to find out. Zip ties, drill bits, air hammers, and even shop vacuums: we put them all to the test.
HERE IN MY GARAGE…

I kinda wish you guys would have baked the zip ties at their rated limits and then let them cool off before pulling on them with buckets of sand or something.
I swear by harbor freight. Sure there are some things that they just cant compete with when it comes to power on drills and what not but for avgt users harbor freight is all you need especially with their amazing warranties.
I will put myself in the ground before I spend more than 20c on a zip tie.
So one of the channels I watch is The Hornet King and he only uses a basic shop vac for his wasp removal. If simple ones work for him, then they are good enough for me.
13:05 I do believe YouTube has no duration limit on your videos, so good luck with the excuse to charge us more money

Nothing will ever beat a Henry hoover as a shop vac
I would've liked to see a teardown of the vacuum motors on each shop vac. I wonder if the Bayer uses a little more plastic or if there's anything shady going on with the electronics. Sometimes you pay more money because you're going to use that tool a lot and don't want it breaking mid job.
We use a higher end Makita shop vac, it's great!

thx guys now ill know what sip ties to use as engine mounts on my car
Yeah but i bet if you used that bauer to detail cars or clean a wood shop 5 days a week it probably will only last a couple of months the shop vac probably years
thats the best raid add i saw out of the 99M i have seen
6:38 it's not longer, it's just not circumcised
you can use special licuid to last longer drill
with the heatgun test i would use 2 of the same heatguns as they take some time when started from cold to get to temperature if you are starting the black zipties with the same gun it could change the outcome by some time
Tell me I’m not the only one who heard weason instead of reason
“The weal weason”

I love them
Regarding HF zip ties- generally good, but I've been burned by crappy bags where I can open them by hand. When they work, they work but for anything critical, I'd check to make sure they can't be open by hand
Worked nuclear for over 30 years. Always used the blue. Can’t be left in the reactor containment building while under power and containment integrity established.
"the quality of your holes wasn't quite what I was expecting"~donut media
You guys are awesome car mechanics but as an electromechanic it made me cry inside xD
the carabiner you guys are using is really great for climbing! that little red ring is an indicator to tell you its not closed/locked so you know to close it before trusting your life on it!
the moral to the story is if your rich you dont have to care about cost
Just started at my new job and I learned another reason that the blue zip ties are special. Apparently the material that they are made of is also vacuum compatible which is important for use in things like space craft
Honestly I call them wet/dry vac
Should have tested with brake cleaner or acetone to see if the special ties had a difference considering they are rated for the same tensile strength. I get testing that part, and I'm no engineering master but the ties and how they are stacked and which ones you cut might make a difference.
Donut using the this vs that music from hoonigan smh
weason lol
No lube full speed sounds like my honeymoon
hope they let the heat gun cool down before the second attempt, or warmed it up before both tests
Am I the only one who forgets these two are diffrent people?
So you pay for the chemical resistance and not the physical strength of them ties…… Yea nah im good
Omg
almost like everything has a pun behind it
