I Now Have a Fin Comb

[V8Jagnut]

owww your gona bleed one day when using that. but good to see you have one :D

[smegzilla69]

im only 17 but a wire brush worked just as good

[schomminater]

I have one of those that my dad bought years ago. It is a handy little tool.

[727JeffN]

I can use one of those!

[mjmcomputers]

i have the same fin comb from harbor freight.

[KrankieV2]

yep those things are useful. never thought about using one on a window unit though

[tstatech]

Never was there a more useless tool. Good for damaging the coil and your knuckles. I use the tip of a small screw driver or pocket knife to straighten fins. You can't realign ten fins at once. The comb will just stick.

[uxwbill]

@tstatech Please go and look at the video to which this is a response. There really is no pleasing everyone. I've used a screwdriver for years with good results and recommended that for the average person, only to attract a LOT of comments (some polite, others not so much and now all such comments are being rejected) that basically said "you really should use a fin comb". So I got a cheap one and, well, it figures that a comment like this would come along.

I just can't win. :-)

[tstatech]

@uxwbill I wasn't trying to step on toes. Just throwing my two cents in. Which should be worth more than two cents because I have been an HVACR tech for the last 21 years. Trust me I own 1 or 2 fin combs but they don't ride with me in the service van. They stay in the toolbox in corner with all the other tools that where supposed to be a good idea.

Any one looking for a good way to clean a coil should try a toilet brush.

I'm going to look at that video right now, uxwbill

Keep up the good wrk

[uxwbill]

@tstatech No, I understand, and I didn't really take it as such, hence the smiley. I'm not a tech, just a guy who knows a little (or moderate amount) about a lot of things.

I have used a toilet brush to clean coils in the past. It gets me funny looks.

[OlegKostoglatov]

I didn't even know that they had such a gadget? Is it for straightening condenser and evaporator fins or just cleaning them? For the cleaning I thought you used a chemical cleaner and a hose?

[uxwbill]

@OlegKostoglatov It just straightens them, although the friction of doing so might serve to do some cleaning as well.

[januaryman169]

short and to the point.

[TheUniversalDave1]

I love the ending...

[kaiyoshi2243]

Short and sweet.

[wastedpills]

you don't need to put the words fin comb in the tags! they're already in the video description and title! and you don't need to put uxwbill in the tags either since it's the name of your channel!

[JinzoDefiler]

Tune in next week when we find out who ate all the doughnuts

[fixitdude74]

theres a right way and a wrong way to use that tool bill.......

[uxwbill]

@fixitdude74 In which case I will probably soon be presenting a guide to using your fin comb completely incorrectly. :-)

[lynchburgcsi57]

I work at Harbor Freight!

[andymadshood]

uxwbill, can you please upload some more videos we miss your demonstations and great videos we honestly are learning a lot about specific mechanical parts, from specific devices

[Hiei2k7]

That reminds me, I gotta go to Harbor Freight in Springdale and get a new torch lighter.

[vwestlife]

Also, "Malfunctioning Fluorescent Tubes (no audio)" would beg to disagree about this being your shortest video!

[uxwbill]

@vwestlife That has been duly noted and corrected. I'd have sacked the person responsible, but...

[pskittle488]

@uxwbill

Monty Python??? Go on.

[theimaginator16]

omg my favorite ending EVER! Hey i have a fin comb... OK BYE!! Yet another reason for my continued viewership. Great sence of humor bill!!!

[vwestlife]

Don't let BFH keep it for himself, or else he might start using it for his hair!

[uxwbill]

@vwestlife It's not up to that kind of duty. I don't know that they make a comb that is up to that kind of duty. Luckily, 'furhead isn't too worried about his hair.

[CenTexVideo]

I've not seen a fin comb designed like that. I've used the one that looks more like a tiny leaf rake.

[Dayberry]

Well..... I hope you all are happy now

[SwingMan1937]

Short & sweet - sometimes, less is more.

That said, to borrow from Kelsey Grammer, "if less is more, think of how much more MORE can be!" - LOL!

What would the world be without whimsy? ;)

[MAG315]

Gee, I was hoping to see it in action. Guess that's coming later.

[THEtechknight]

ok thanks bye??

[canadaeast]

William,

A rather unorthodox ending to your video. I anticipate a sequel to your "video response"

[thebibleisfiction]

okthnxbai? you didnt even show it in action

:(

[uxwbill]

@thebibleisfiction ...but I will!

[Qwakkeddup]

@uxwbill  OK, Then we are all waiting! ((Holds Breath))

Please hurry!

[yamahonkawazuki]

@thebibleisfiction shortest uxwbill video in youtube history Eh? lol

[kbhasikevin]

@thebibleisfiction Go watch this video: youtube/mwzwboqN5Cw

[compactc9]

I've never actually seen one of these before. Not a bad idea to have with all the various things you have that you could use it on I 'spose.

[WhoSaidTyler]

And this video will also be known for you forgetting to say "his spelling" after his name. Or, maybe it was your spelling and not his...I don't know anymore.

[uxwbill]

@WhoSaidTyler It's his spelling, as spelling is not his strong suit. I don't say it as much as I used to, because I figure that all the regulars will know.

[clubcar98]

Okay thanks bye!

I am envious of your fin comb.

[K64250]

This may be THE SHORTEST video you have ever done... When I see ur vids i expect to be sitting there for like 10 mins lol.

[MyTechtime]

why didn't You Show it de-bending that a/c?

[uxwbill]

@MyTechtime I'll do that in the future, after I've become more used to using this tool.

[itouchhacker241]

Y didnt u show us what that thing does?

[uxwbill]

@itouchhacker241 That's for a future video.

[itouchhacker241]

@uxwbill u lazy bitch LMAO jk

[adamxp12]

cool short and quick
