The camera work doesn't show anything useful. All we see is the guy, saying "adjust this, tighten that"...poor video unfortunately.

@BearNDragon No, if you look closely they ARE canti's -just because they use a yoke wire instead of a link wire does NOT disqualify them as being canitelvers.
And it is BRAKE -not break.
DoubleFAIL.

Only idiots or really lazy people use Vise grips for nuts. Good way to mess up a nut.

@Socksbike I'm no expert, but a "quick grip" at your lowe's or home depot would do the same thing.
