 Yeah, everyone shiver one thousand here and I've got my special guest star All right We got this tool here as you can tell by the The title that we want to fix some Christmas lights or want to try to so let's open this up and I'll Go into more detail about it. So stick around. Let's see if we can fix something right? Yeah Okay, okay, so let's open this up this thing come from Washington State around Seattle area came right on time and These scissors need to have something done with them Because you can see They don't want to do nothing. I don't know why monkey won't sharpen them I Don't you do that her scissors? So this light keeper pro full package. Yeah, it is. It's that came on in time I mess with the bubbles Well packaged well, that's fine Okay, this is what it is here now There's a million and one YouTube videos out there about these things won't back many years I am the million and one video So there's a lot of guys that you know explain it better than probably me, but that's okay I just thought I'd go ahead and show it to you anyway Yeah, this is this is what it is They had to sell it is used I got it on eBay There's like 10 something and then shipping and tax so it was like seven 17 dollars So if this thing fixes two strands of lights That will be saving me three three dollars right there because they're like ten dollars a string. Yeah, so But there's what it what it is Pretty easy to use I've never used one, but it seems to be pretty self-explanatory. Let's get this out here There's everything It does What that is but Instructions fold up nice and neat Gives you shows you everything on here. Hopefully the batteries will still be good It just takes them like Button cell batteries like watch batteries And They're supposed to be extra bulbs right in there Doesn't have any but I've got plenty and the seller did you know state that the extra bulbs We're not there so This is a letter from the president of the company and it just basically says you use this and you learn how to use it They have videos out to help you and Once you learn that it will save you lots of money because you won't have to keep going out to buy new ones Because you can't find the broken one. So that's what that's so We have a bulb tester here Right there and Right here. We have a little fuse sester. I'll show you there's Fuses in each and every one of them little plugs. You can test it right there This is a handy dandy ice-cold beer opener. I mean No, this this helps you pop your bulb out out of the socket All right, the batteries are good. So this well Let me see make sure here ball been fused tester. Okay, so it shows everything here, but this trigger will help fix Lights there When when the lights go bad, okay? There's a inside that bulb. There's something called a shunt It kind of like a little fuse in each one of them bulbs called a shunt when that burns It not only just makes the light go out. It makes a whole section of the lights guys like pulling out a ball To where like if the ball burns out, but the shunt is fine and that just just that one bulb is going to be burnt out Also this You can test Electric With this run it up your strand and find out if there's no electric, which it's it's okay. I guess but You know, you'll know When there's a section of lights out from there to there has no power I mean you really don't need this but the other stuff is handy Here is a little compartment that you can put Different extra bulbs in there that that are good that you can have so that's a little Storage. Yeah. Thank you, Monk So it's cute and I'm not sure that looks like you plug this in I'm not sure what this is for read up on that Let me read up on that and see What you do with this end because I haven't seen anybody use this section yet looks like you plug it in but into here This is where you fix it in or Put the socket in to fix that strand and I'll show you how to do that in a minute now I'll keep a mind guys that if you got a broken wire, this is not gonna fix it You know, I mean you just don't have a little tool You go like that and it fixes a broken wire. It's impossible. It doesn't happen can't happen So keep in mind. It's not gonna fix everything. But like I said, it fixes two strands for me You know, hi, I've already saved three dollars and I have a Couple more than two strands. Don't know Yeah, so let me read if it says anything about that that part of it To see because I haven't seen anyone use that section yet so Alternate quick fix. Oh, okay That's a Alternate quick fix so you just plug the whole string in we'll get to that in a minute We're gonna get out a set of lights here that monkey has When she took took them down she put them in bags and she put little notes on them Yeah, cute like one says what flashing. Let me grab Okay, so like this one Lights around mom's window flash when once I Guess that means they work when they want to yeah, so Let me get these plug in And I'll show you how to use this thing if you remember you if you watched her lights So, you know that we were having trouble with the lights they were going sometimes on sometimes off Well, we had plenty that you know just somebody driving past wouldn't notice but yeah, I knew and every time I went out There was another section that on something else it but the you know some of those lights were like only a year old Yeah, they were used once took back out to use again and you know it was just This this this is gonna save a lot of time like I said if I have a broken wire This is not gonna fix it if I got a broken wire. I'm just not even mess with that. They're not worth it No, no, all right. I'll be right back with you Okay guys, so as you can see These are working These are supposed to flash so don't be learning about that But this section does not so I'm gonna put you down here Let me grab my gun So like there should be Let me turn your turn turn your screen. Let me turn your guys a screen here. So I can see what I'm doing See like if I hold this button here There's power. There's power going up through here, right? But we don't have In this section. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna pull The first light in this section out Like I said, I've never used one of these. All right. I'm gonna set that down Now I'm gonna put this Inside of here just like this now You click the you can go up to some you can go up to a hundred I'm not sure what this one says but usually about 30 But you click this until they start until they come on so Let me sit down here may have to speed you up Let me make sure I got this in right It could have a bad wire. I don't know cuz these ones are really old. They're several years old So I'm not counting I think this got a bad socket Look like it in there Let me get a light and look down inside of here. Make sure I have that in right Okay, so I'll show you the ball we took out We're gonna put it in a bulb tester and it lights up So we know that ball is good so I was reading up on this you pull this 30 times Up to 30 times to see if it'll fix it. So And I didn't have this in here right so that could have something to do with it Okay, that's 30 times and it didn't do anything. So it says to check If that doesn't work Where did I read that at? Yeah, if lights do not illuminate after 30 pulls then use the voltage detector and step two eight That's right there. So, you know, that's the Okay, so you know what we're gonna do. I'll put this ball Back in All right, so it looks like this stops beeping should be where it's dead at So as you can see we're getting power all the way down through here so far So that's telling me we don't have any broken wires But it looks like in here So let's pull Let's pull this one out. I guess might be the problem. Yeah Yeah, I don't see any Looks like it's Let's check this bulb. Let's check this ball. Yeah, that ball is good But Right in here the socket looks like it's bad So this is not gonna fix it if it's a bad socket. You know what I mean? Well, I can change it, but I'm looking down in here. It looks like it's corroded Because these are outside lights. I see a lot of green stuff in there and I'm thinking That's probably the cause Of the problem. So I'm getting it there not there not there not there But I'm getting it down here so so that's Probably going to be the problem is that bad socket. That's what it looks like to me Yeah, it looks like Yeah, it's all corroded in there. Yeah, see Right there. It's all corroded We don't have any alcohol do we? Yeah, yeah You sure Yeah, see how green that is. I don't know if the camera can pick that up. It's pretty green so I'm gonna clean this up See that's not gonna make a contact through that bulb no matter what And it just pulled out So if it's not gonna make contact, it's not gonna work great So let me see if I can get this cleaned up. Yeah, that kind of pulled up out there pretty easy At least you know save the gas work and I found a problem even if I can't get this cleaned up and repaired So let me see if I can clean this up and I'll be back with you guys One record Okay guys, so let me tell you what happened. I found a bad bulb Actually Who's this one wouldn't Yeah See that wire little wire sticking out. There's not one on the other side so I used my handy-dandy little tool here This was going in going in but not coming out so I Got me a ball here monk wall monkey got me a ball and Let me get Pull them out just a little bit Like that. I'm gonna stick this down in here. There you go. There we go Wow. All right Awesome. Mm-hmm. This is a bad bulb. It's just a burnout bulb Not worried about them right now You're just worried about making sure it's not a ball here near I mean cuz you know I can see when the bulbs out that bulbs out Yeah, but I'm not real worried concerned about that. I just dropped that ball What a girl. Oh, I mean know where this is so we don't step on it and it breaks It's underneath you. I see it. It's where your leg is So that's not even the right thing, but so let's check this ball here with this thing I'd like to pull them out a little bit and the bulb is no good so That's okay, so with that tool we have already fixed one strand of lights. I guess I'm not worried about You know a bulb here and there being out I can change those at any time and usually these are flashing So you really can't tell anyhow So but anyway, there's one set fixed. Let's fix one more set. Okay, let me get ready Okay, so this one also that other strand did have I forgot to tell you did That one socket did have some corrosion But I don't think that was a problem because when I cleaned it nothing still happened. This one says bathroom window Flash when once So we have another one of them. She's up there right now just changing that label So I don't go I need to check these and then have more You know what I mean, so now Let's get these out So what what this does is in certain situations like you might not be able to get this socket Inside inside there so you can actually plug this in and squeeze the trigger and technically It'll be fine But like I said, if you got a broken wire, it's not this one's not gonna work and I'll tell you what right now Monkey good. She's got like 3700 ball pile up there At the ready I'm working on it. Okay, so she's gonna plug me in here And let's see which ones don't work Okay, I've got two sections in here only one sections work in the middle section. So let's start Let's just start on this end So you can take out any ball in the section that's not working Put this in here Make sure I got that right And let's start Clicky-clackin our little trigger here. What's going on here? No, it's going all the way down in there Now it is But technically they should be lit up right now That's 30. Let's check this bulb. This bulb is not working. No so Let's just check our power again so we can find out Where we're losing power at So far we're getting power all the way down through here It's gonna be this flasher. Well, this flash is no good. It's not like no Good ball momo. Yeah She's out there ready Say your stomach. No, what was it yours? Wasn't mine My ass Maybe it was your mom again. Brap. I didn't tell her what you did Well, he's supposed to be good bulbs or yeah, I gave to you the other ones were Okay, okay, the other ones work. So that means all of them have to work So we found out it was a flasher So I Save these things So the flashers bad so there's in that one so there's that part of it now See what's going on with this one It says you can take anyone out in a section. That's not working and do this to it, but For some reason, I don't know. Maybe these bulbs Maybe this is an old set and it don't have shunts. I don't know Maybe I'm not putting this in here, right? There it is. It worked. It worked That was really cool. There it is. Wow That really works. Yeah, yeah There's a ball missing. Okay. All right, okay. All right, don't touch it Okay, don't touch them because I need to Okay, so that worked. Yeah All right, so now Problem is we have two broken bulbs here. You want to unplug it for me, please? So what that did was fix the shunt. There's a broken one here a broken one here and a broken one there So let's replace these So it worked. Yeah They're unplugged now. So I'm gonna use these plastic pieces. Are you? Yeah Do we have any bulbs in there without the plastic pieces so it worked? Yeah, so one of the burnout ones or maybe one of these the shunt it fixed the shunt Shunt should not shut shunt shunt. That's h-u-n-t shunt All right, and then I'll show you how to check the fuse Soon as we plug these back in I'll take fuse out All right, then I think that's it. Yeah. All right now. Let's plug them in again Thank You monkey make sure they all work wait What happened? Something happened. I'll bet you one of the bulbs. I just put in it's not right And I don't know which one they are Shoot Let's try this again. I'll bet you that's that's what I did. I put in a bulb That didn't work or something or it's not making contact Okay Which one I'll put it make sure you got it right put it in we're bringing here she's plugged in she Wasn't all the way in you sure. All right, I might be that let's see No, oh man, it's one of those bulbs I'm sure of it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's a flight that's got a fly shrimp I think I've got I think one of those bulbs I put in Is no good. So what I'm gonna do is just see if I can find out which ones they were They were broke they were broke. Yeah, I'll bet you that's what I've done I'll put in a bad bulb Hmm. Yeah, or one of them just I didn't get the thing to make contact, right? I'll bet you that's what it is. I gotta I guess I gotta find out which ones I Changed so I'm gonna do that and I'll be back with you guys. Okay. So there was the issue It was The wrong plastic end on it. Yeah It's okay. Okay, so I'm gonna show you now in here See where it says open. We're gonna slide this open. I'm gonna pull fuse out first. I want to make sure That's a cigarette pack Okay, there's two fuses here, so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take one of these out and blow it and Show you how to test it with that little tool Okay, so If you think you've got a fuse issue See that says open you slide that where'd you go? It took off on me. You slide this open so I'm just going to use Use a little screwdriver or whatever you got Handy, I'm just going to use these scissors See that will slide out like like that and inside there See the two little fuses. Yeah Okay, I'm gonna take one of these out And I'm going to intentionally Blow it. Okay, but we're going to check it first And then I'm going to hook it up to a battery and blow the fuse Then we'll check it again There we go Oh well anyway, I took it out of there So all right now in the fuse hole or the fuse tester right here seems it focuses Right there's a fuse tester. Let's put this in here See Lights that light that fuse is good All right Now let's get a battery and let's blow this fuse on purpose and check it Now how are you going to blow it with a battery? I want to blow stuff up. That's what I do best. Okay, so we're going to take this good fuse and we're going to pop it And show you When we put it in there again, it's not going to light up like that. Okay, so Let me get a battery Okay, so this is a three amp fuse max three a Max it'll tell you right there right there's where it'll tell you Okay, so we're going to take this fuse Let me back out a little bit. Okay, so I'm gonna put this on one end of the battery. It's just uh like a Okay, where you going monkey monkey's getting out of here. This is just like a bread tie thing. Is it gonna blow up? Yes Oh, Jesus. I'm leaving. No sit right there. Look. I'm doing it. So it can't be that bad Okay, so I'm gonna put one end on one end of the fuse One end on there and it should blow and it's not So I don't know if this battery's no good Or if I need a stronger battery Do you know if this battery's any good monkey? Nope And well, let's try another battery. I got more first. Let's check and see if it's Nope, it didn't blow up. All right. She's going to get another battery So stand by all right, let's try this again. Maybe I need a stronger battery. Yeah, let's try this Wow Let me get a stronger battery. I don't know if those aren't good. Okay. Like monkey said, we're getting serious Now I'm gonna This is getting scarier Two 12 volt batteries hooked up and parallel Yeah Still only 12 old. It's just a very strong 12 volt Where's my All right hopefully Okay, so I'm gonna hold this on here Wish you guys would be able to see this Does it pop? What does it do? That burn out That's pretty scary and when the fuse ain't gonna blow What does that mean? Come on. I know this has got power Yeah, they're dead. It just blew Oh, so all you did is It spiked it and it just did you hear it? Yeah, I heard it now. Yeah, let's check this fuse No good. Yeah, see so you fried it. I fried it. So that fuse is no good Okay, okay. So that's how you can test your fuse Now you're not going to have to be By any means blowing this fuse. This is just I I thought it was a little anti-climatic I thought it would blow like pop But it didn't So All right, and of course you'll check both of them But we already know this is good because this is the set of lights we were working on But first I have had these no good out of the pack. They weren't blown because they weren't used They just weren't put together right There it is. So that's a good fuse so We'll put this back down in here. There's no Up or down or left or right. You just put it in there when it goes in it goes in So there's no wrong way to put the fuse There's no plus or minus or anything like that. It's just If you have tweezers, probably Probably a bit a little easier for you. You got these big old Meat hands here. Let me drop it in Oh, you don't just drop it in it's got to go in To those little things There we go I just push it in there. Make sure you don't push on the glass There we go Now these should work when we get plugged in here There we go. Cool So Yeah, that works that works well Yeah, it helped a lot. You mean it still took a little time But it it's a lot easier Heck, I'm trying to Try to figure it out on your own. That is a lot easier. Oh, yeah I found, you know, bad bulbs that was causing the little lights not to work and this little thing did work Um, the only reason why it didn't work after I put that bulb in was because I had the wrong plastic End on it. Yeah, so it was either pushing out the The contacts inside there to where the wires from the light couldn't Fit or just probably it just wasn't letting it go down him far enough to make contact with them But it did fix that We found the problem. Yeah, we found a problem in the other one. Yeah So that's two strands of lights that we should be fine with but see like before, you know, I mean to me That just that that saved a lot I mean, I got 17 dollars in this it was actually 10 dollars And so come out to like with shipping because it came from Washington state with shipping and and tax on ebay. So it was like 16 something. So let's just say 17 dollars, right Just saved me 20 bucks. So Let's say 17 to pay for this I just saved three dollars first time using it. Yeah, and I have a lot more To do That went out, you know this 17 dollars Yeah, the 17 dollar item here is going to save me a lot of money because every year I got to buy A string or two lights and sometimes it was just saying don't have the money and it's like I just got to deal with you know Part of not working. So I got to use them somewhere else to where maybe I don't need that section or something, you know so now You know, I got to replan everything I'm I'm going to put out. Issue is going to be cool, isn't it? I'm not excited. Yeah, I got something happening on the roof this year. Yeah, don't we? school and another little surprise um But yeah, it should should be all right. So this thing is is a godsend You know, yeah, I like it I'll lock it the lot I wonder if I can pick this up DC Oh, that was another thing. Yeah, I was using well, it shouldn't matter. It's just a fuse. Okay, but there you go. I mean And like I said, if if you can't fit your socket Down inside here. You just unplug your uh Unplug it from from little from the power Plug it in here Plug it back in and see if it worked. So that's pretty cool. Yeah, it is cool So, you know, you got nice little gadget got your little light puller there And your light tester your fuse tester a little place to put which I should do right now Let's put some of them bulbs in here That's it And I'll put some fuses in here This is weird because every year I got to replace I got to replace a fuse Well, almost every year I got to replace a fuse And that's weird because they're working When I unplug them and take them out And I got to plug them back in and the fuse is bad So we're going to put some of these bulbs in here And some extra fuses over in here in this one So we've got three extra fuses. We've got some extra bulbs here. Oh, how many of them there's Plastic things? All of them Yeah, and I'll put those in here just in case That way so we've got We've got plenty of we've we've got a lot more lights Replaceable bulb or bulbs to replace stuff. What don't we hunt? Yeah, I got them all over. Yeah. We never never throw them away So no, there we go. All right, I unpack the lights and stuff. I'll find them Yeah, but Like um strings the lights when they actually I would have to throw them away because I didn't have this thing to fix it And then so I would just like pull out eight or ten bulbs Yeah You know that that out of the working section um Like like a couple of them That go around the mailbox like a couple of these strands that I wanted to put somewhere I couldn't because of that reason. So I just used it for for an extension cord So I would plug it in because it still had power to the end. It's just the lights wouldn't work So I would use as an extension cord. All right But so um, I would take you know before I throw them away and take eight or ten bulbs out and And have them. So there we go. That gets a two thumbs up for me. Oh heck. Yeah Yeah Yeah, I like it. Yeah, I think we should have got that a long time ago. Should have got it last year The year was about over but still it would have saved Because by the end of the year my lights were if you just threw a past for the first time you wouldn't have noticed anything Really, but for people walking past or people that go past every day they would notice Now he's got some lights. Listen, you know Yeah, I like that. No Next year, we actually have people stop and watch them. Yeah, they'll stop watching this year. They're It'll be better for them. Yeah, I'm putting on a light show Next year. I'm going to do some LEDs and put on a real nice light show To music But I got to get LEDs in order to do that. Yes, and they're expensive and um, I'll also have to get a um, I like controller, you know, so and then I'll have to get software to program what I want my lights to do You know, because you just don't plug me in it. Don't know what you want to blink and win That's next year, but this year it's still gonna be a lot better, isn't it? Yeah, it's gonna be badass, huh? Yeah, it's gonna be cool. So, you know, you guys are awesome last year. You guys out west will have to drive past and check it out Yeah, right shiver. Thanks for watching guys. Appreciate it. Monk Mike's fished out. Bye y'all I didn't do that. No, that was your mom. But she was like, what the hell her mom because I just farted So that camera went there and picked it up and clear it over there. Go watch it. Yeah, I'll watch the last video It was pretty funny. Okay guys shiver meant to me and legend gone for now. Thanks for watching guys. Appreciate it Yeah, um, if you hang up a lot of lights, even if you just hang up lights on christmas tree eventually you're gonna have something go out Get one of these man perfect It's just called the Fast and easy Fixes light sets. It's called the light keeper pro Highly recommend it two thumbs up. So it's kind of like a review So awesome real easy to use And it's been out a while too We just oh, yeah, we was watching guys doing it seven and eight years ago Yeah, but they would just call the light keeper. It didn't have many functions No, like it didn't have the I don't think had the light puller And I don't think it had the tester I like the light puller because you're stuck trying to get those things out Yeah, some of them like like I just showed you I could pull out Yeah, you know because I got a strong grip really hard some of them get really hard. So this this does help out a lot Yeah, it's got different um And testing your light bulb too. That's great. Yeah, that's good, you know You don't know if it's bad or not. Well the one the one I found Um, what was it? Was that flasher? Yeah, anyway, I found one bulb. It just wasn't no good Yeah, and I put it in there and and or changed the bulb and it was fine. So There was an issue with that so But I found the I found the problem with this because it told me exactly where You know, which bulb like, you know, this one had power And this one didn't yeah So when I checked the one that had power it had power going in but nothing coming out So I knew that was the bulb So Yeah, I mean that's that's awesome. Yep. All right guys. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it and we'll see you guys in the next one Yep. Bye y'all. Say brother. Mr. Man the legend gone for now. We'll see you guys later. Bye. Bye. Take care
