 What's happening YouTube thanks for stopping back by the channel today right here with the rust belt mechanic We are continuing our series with this week's nifty tools of the week. We've got a nice plethora We've got four banging tools here for you guys to check out some new to the market Some you might have already seen before But they've been nifty enough to help me out this week at work Make sure you guys stay tuned to check these out First nifty tool that we're going to be coming to this week is going to be the pros kit CP 382 This is a handheld zip tie Tension cutter tool. I guess that's if you want to you know, the way you really want to call it What it does is you insert these zip ties into the tool It pulls the zip ties tight to the correct tension, which is fully adjustable here on the handle You've got a setting anywhere from like one to four Anywhere from I think three pounds of pole to about ten pounds of pole on it So it's fully adjustable in whatever situation you're working on whether you're just putting a couple a little wire looms together You know or you're working with the plastic conduit that you really don't want to crush So you want to turn down that tension and you're going to insert your zip tie into the end of the tool Pull the trigger It's going to pull it to that certain tension and then flush cut snip the end of the zip tie off Which makes it fantastic for us mechanics who are getting back into the engine bay and working on these things Because this tool is going to flush cut that zip tie off So no more busted up knuckles scraped arms or anything when you're talking about the zip ties that you're installing with this tool Now this tool is available in many different outlets, especially over on Amazon It is available for right around thirty dollars You can pick that up just about anywhere else online that sells any kind of tools It is a great tool to have in your toolbox I would definitely recommend to you for you guys to get one of these if you guys are doing any kind of projects where you're Clipping and zipping a whole lot of zip ties Next tool that we're going to come to today is going to be the fexton emergency brake cable I guess remover tool for the cables where they crimp in between So a lot of the emergency brakes they're too long to have just a single cable, especially on larger trucks Now this tool I really really wish that I would have had when I was taking the cab off of my dermax because it would have made getting The emergency brake cable separated in the middle a whole lot easier where these emergency brake cables are put together There is a small crimp end that is crimped and then these two lines Which are the ends of the steel parts of the cable slide in together Lock into place and they're actually usually even crimped a little bit more So they're kind of a pain to get a hold of and get loose from those connections because the emergency brake is already tight What this does is you're able to put your cable end into the little forked portion right here And then all you got to do is just as simple as Pulling the handle and it's going to push the end of the cable through the little crimped portion of The emergency brake cable and it's going to pop the end right out for you guys It's a really nifty easy little tool and it's actually one of the cheaper tools that I've been Showing here on the nifty tools of the week at about 20 25 bucks or so It's going to save you a lot of headaches super simple tool Something that you guys really need to have in your box as well. If you guys are doing jobs like that Now the third tool that we're going to come to today is our matco This is a newer set the 12 piece hex grip Extractor ring set 12 pieces all metric and these things are absolutely fantastic I've had a chance to use these one or two times throughout this week This I would say is a really good alternative to like the snap-on FDX soxits They are made for bolts or fasteners that are up to 80 percent already rounded off What these things are going to be is the outside ring is going to be a 12-point Fastener where you're going to be able to get your socket on to and then the inside as you guys can see here has all these little teeth little grippers that are able to grab and grip on to Rounded fasteners now this piece is from nine looks like an eight to a 19 millimeter set which is you know just the standard socket set anyways The other only other thing that you guys are going to have to worry about is you guys are going to have to be able to use a 12-point socket on the outside portion of this How it works is you're going to have a two millimeter size difference in between the fastener and The actual socket or wrench that you're going to be using If you this thing is going to be the 18 millimeter that is going to be the size of Ratchet or socket or whatever you're going to be using on the outside And that's going to be to remove a 16 millimeter fastener It's going to be able to grip into there and the rounded off fasteners are going to be able to come out actually fairly simply It grips pretty decently You know exactly compared to the fdx sockets where you guys are spending two $300 for the set of those fdx sockets, which you know in essence fit really snug on those bolts to be able to grip them A whole lot easier whereas these this set coming in at 29.95 is a fantastic alternative. They're really nice, you know steel Exterior plated Looks like hardened material, so they seem like they're going to hold up I will be able to do some more reviews on these if they hold up over the next couple of months or so But already just getting the initial view on this one It's going to be a great alternative to those much more expensive rounded off fastener Tools that you're able to get on the market today I would definitely recommend to at least try and pick up a set of these like I said These are pretty new, but I think they're definitely worth trying out Now the fourth and final tool that we're going to come today is going to be our IPA tools number 7862 grease joint rejuvenator this is going to be for all your grease zirks grease fittings of any type and They're going to be able to rejuvenate any of the rusty crusty ones that you guys are unable to fill grease into Now having a look at this It's a three-piece set that's going to have your main insertion tool the tip and the tip Extension hose for those hard to get to grease zirks for you What it's going to do is you're going to be able to fill this thing with a thinner type oil You don't really want to fill this thing with grease as the tip and the nozzle will likely clog up for that one And you won't really be able to Actually use this how it's intended to so you want to pick up some stuff like this LACO part number 7904 zooms about oiler. It's going to be a really nice alternative Grease or oiling compound that's going to break those grease zirks ball Tips actually nice and loose for you It's going to have a nice little extendable end for you to get into your joints or anywhere that you need it to So it's going to be able to be used for a lot of other applications also What you're going to do is you're going to end up pulling the End out of the tool here. You're going to fill this in with the oil the penetrating oil you're going to get your Slide and put back into the tool And all you're going to be able to do at that point is put this thing right on to a grease Cirque and use a hammer and just hammer hammer right there on the end And this is going to force that oiling compound to go into the point of the grease Cirque and break it free going to put some of that oil into the zerk and free everything up for you at that Point you'll be able to use your normal grease zerk in solder use your grease gun and oil up the zirks Just fantastically. I actually use this on my truck one of the grease zirks was all frozen and rusted up and this thing worked fantastically Thing you want to make sure you do ahead of time is after you fill this thing It's going to have an air pocket in it So you're going to want to hold it up push it until the little Pentel end releases the air that's in the top of it because you know if you have a big old pocket air in it Air is compressible you hit it and you're just compressing air So it doesn't work as well that way so you make sure you get the air out of it and it works Absolutely amazingly and at the price of about 37 38 bucks just about anywhere including Amazon This is going to be a really great tool for breaking those rusted grease zerk open to be able to use them freely again Now the LACO oil lubricant does not come with it That's something that I ended up picking up separately to be able to go into it My TIFCO rep ended up selling this one to me. You can pick this up just about anywhere also for you know anywhere from three to seven dollars a Really great item and it works Lee like I said, I use it on the old dirty max and worked awesome I definitely recommend for you guys to pick one of these up last portion of this segment here I really want to be able to shout out a couple of other channels that I feel are just Absolutely killing it on YouTube both in the tools and automotive sector First and the one that we're gonna come to today is the maintenance man the maintenance man doesn't really do automotive But he definitely does a lot of tools.
