 What's happening all my happy tool peeps? Thanks for tuning back into the channel today for another episode of rust belts and nifty tools Of the week we've got a nice little plethora here to share for you guys I do apologize for not coming out with a couple of other of these videos in between things We've been picking up a bunch of projects and we just got time this week to fit another couple of sets in Got a nice set here for you. Hope you guys enjoy what we've brought First up on our nifty tools of the week. I picked these up a couple of weeks ago I might have talked to them about them on a live stream or so But we've got the Milwaukee torque lock vice grip set. So what this actually comes in normally is you've got a two-pack You've got the 48 22 34 10s and the 48 22 30 40 7s These come in a two-pack usually run you about 20 bucks or so over at the home depot What I like about these is the nice comfort grip that it has to them along with some ribbing to give you guys a little bit Of extra grip there to it now. I also like the fact that the actual mechanism here on the end that you twist to change the Opening of the locking pliers is a very nice little Coated looks like it's a almost a red tough ceramic coating to it So we've got that on the end and these things are amazing at grip They do not wear out nearly as fast as what I'm used to with the standard vice grip brand on the teeth You know us as mechanics. We usually end up abusing these quite a bit You get those nasty little tie rod ends or something that are twisting in there Cramp these on there and get able to get your nut off without these Spinning too much that might be a bin what she said But we'll have to see and then a third one that I picked up was the smaller two and a half inch Smaller pliers that are the needle nose style. These are the 48 22 30 406's you get this set this pair Just by itself. It's gonna run you about 13 bucks all in all I'm very happy with these just pretty much for the fact that the teeth are just as hard as they are and They haven't dulled out over you know Just the first couple of weeks which normally would piss you off after buying of you know set of pliers So definitely I would recommend to get you guys a set of these they seem like they're gonna last quite a long time in my toolbox Coming to the next tool that we've got on our list is a little specialty tool that I picked up off the Matco truck This is the Matco MST 1310 is actually listed as a Duramax water and fuel sensor wrench and it actually fits pretty much anything the 12-point in here fits the Duramax side and then a lot of the Ford and Dodge ones especially the Dodge ones is the Six-point end here at this end. I picked this one up right for I think it was on sale for like 3499 Not sure if anybody else makes them But it makes my job working on these diesels and the fuel filters quite a bit easier Usually when I do fuel filter services I like to take the water and fuel sensor out first just because if there's any extra sediment and corrosion I don't want them getting up into the threads up on top So I will take the water and fuel sensor out first get that one clean then I'll take the fuel filter out after that I've been using this one for about two weeks now, and it's a very nice tool nice coated in a hardened black material And it's held up very well It's able to help me get these water and fuel sensors out a whole lot easier than Dicking them all up with a set of locking pliers So I would recommend if you guys do a lot of diesel work make sure you guys get a set or one of these Matco MST 1310 water and fuel wrenches and Last on our list here. We picked up ourself a steelman pro Chassis ear set. So this one is the single channel chassis ear set Let's see if we can find part number seven eight seven five two on here You can see what it comes when with the kit here now First off, I want to make sure that you guys understand that this kit is a Bluetooth operated Little kit and it is actually only compatible for Bluetooth on Windows Versions seven eight and I think it'll work on ten But just you know a little bit different and Android devices So for you guys who are hoping that this would work for your Apple devices like I did it does not So let's get into this one here. What comes into the kit is this right here Grab one other thing here We've got our Bluetooth actual little dongle here This is going to be the heart and soul of this kit the actual clamp ear is this one right here This you're going to charge it does come with a charger cable and everything Charges right here on the very end of it This is going to click right into the end of our little dongle here And then you're able to have this connect to the Bluetooth device I have an extra little Android tablet that I end up using for this one and it makes it pretty nice Now if you're using the Windows base products, they do have a little a USB adapter Right here that you're going to be able to plug into the USB port on your Windows device I really want to try and see if this is going to work on the Snap-on like the Zeus and the Varus that run those kind of things, but I have not yet got a chance to try it I want to do that one so that would be what use for that one Otherwise, this is just a Bluetooth device itself You don't need to use that if you're using an Android device It's got the standard clamp-on style for listening for your you know different chassis ears here And then you also have see if we can get it right out of the container here You've got this kind of little microphone here that you can use as well sticking it down into engine base compartments Down into fill tube something along those lines, you know just trying to hear different Areas as you're going it does come with a kind of a cheaper set of Headphones they do work, you know, but like I said, they're pretty cheap Then we've got The little adapter right here for the end so you can get tapped on to any other little areas on the microphone This will go on to that so you're able to just touch different areas of the motor You know here and there trying to find your different vibrations here and there in that set So I've gotten to use this one a couple of times. It's worked out really well What I think I'm actually going to do is steelman actually makes a set that has like four channels of these And I want to be able to flip them back and forth the app is pretty easy I won't bring that one up for you just because you know on Android. It's a little bit different windows It's a little bit different, but the app is actually pretty easy. It brings up the decibel levels It brings up different channels. You can switch between those channels as you go. You can record it You can send it Anything you need to do is all in there through the app all in all a really great kit Now to pick this one up You can pick this one up at a couple of different sources on the matco truck They want to charge you like 200 250 bucks But in most other places on Amazon and a couple other tool outlets you can get this kit for right at $150 now what I think I'm going to do is I'm going to like I said upgrade to the four channel one Which ends up coming with four of these clamps and four of the bluetooth devices here on the end now? That being the heart of the kit these are the expensive portions of it So if you end up getting the four channel set it's going to run under you right around 425 to $450 so make sure you guys take that one into account if you guys are looking for a set that is a Single channel or additional ones on top of that I haven't really looked to see if you guys can purchase Just the single ones if you want to do just a two channel, but through the app you're able to add Individual channels as you go So it would be easy to add just one other channel or another two channels if you guys wanted to just pick up That extra ones all in all really great kit. I definitely would recommend this Hopefully soon they come out with the version that works for the Apple devices also Oh, there goes ricer boy Cue that in so That is a very awesome kit. Hopefully they'll come out with that one here soon I would definitely recommend this one especially for the price you guys can get it at for your diagnostics in chassis Vibrations shakes and everything that you guys are trying to find works absolutely awesome So now I'm keeping with good faith with shouting out some of the smaller lesser known channels I really wanted to shout out this week is spider garage spider garage is one that I came on to via I believe it was straight six fans channel he showed me this channel and What these guys do is absolutely fantastic. It's a father and his 16 year old son Purchased a car for him and it's an old Monza spider and it was in kind of distress we'll put it that way and For the last year and a half they've been building this car He's been taking his son to all of these different engine builders showing him the process as well as Actually getting the car into good running shape now. They've run into just a little bit of a hiccup They really want to get this car done before his 16th birthday and the 2019 power tour the hot rod power tour Which comes up in about 3035 days, so they're in need of some help So if you guys are over in or about the mid Indiana region Check out their channel. They're in need of some mechanical help if I didn't have the old Duramax going on right now I'd probably be over there trying to give them a hand. They are an awesome channel his editing skills are absolutely Fantastic and the content that he brings along with the family atmosphere of showing his son how to do and work on cars and Putting an expert's opinion in with each of those different areas is just something that's absolutely fantastic I definitely would recommend that you go and check his channel out Well guys, that's about all I've got for you today on the channel if you guys like this Version of the nifty tools of the week make sure you guys give the video a thumbs up share it or just Leave a comment and tell me what you guys thought about it Or if you guys you have any other ideas on nifty tools that you want reviewed Feel free to drop me a message over at the rust belt mechanic at gmail.com I also have an Instagram account as well the rust belt mechanic.
