 What's up guys? I got another video together for you of Customized tools that you can build yourself for a whole lot less than buying these tools here Are gonna be really simple to make not cost a whole lot of money If you have a little bit of welding skills and a little ingenuity you use these ideas before we get started If you would go ahead and hit that like button down below and if you haven't subscribed by now What are you waiting for you click the little bell down below? You'll be notified whenever the next video drops and let's go ahead get started all right This little monstrosity is another one of my little inventions From being cheap and wanting to build something instead of buying it There's a lot of different ladder cranes and things like that out there and they are too simple for what they're wanting for them They're wanting four hundred six hundred eight hundred dollars We got right here is a worm drive winch that you can get from Harbor Freight And we've got leftover two inch square tubing fairly thicker and then I had some leftover angle iron That I welded on basically reinforced it like this So you've got them actually Space just right so that it'll actually fit on a step ladder or it'll fit on a straight ladder And then I made it so you could take it apart So if you needed to go up on the roof you could carry it and this is pretty simple as it comes for starters We're just gonna use a small six foot ladder Now you could use an eight foot probably will be what you'd normally need But we're gonna show you what we got going on here. So you take your metal piece here you attach it to The ladder which on the very top rung it doesn't fit real well But say for this one here fits perfect So this is why you'd want to use a taller ladder as you can see there it hooks right on to the ledges there It's not going nowhere Just a basic angle iron. We only partially put it together right here What we did is we took the bolts which are half-inch diameter and we fed one through like I mentioned earlier That nut is tack welded on both spots So you're not gonna lose them and then we went ahead and started together When that goes together like that all your down pressure is pulling lengthwise on it It could have been done with an angle bracket here But I wanted to be able to take it apart. It could be welded up differently I've only used this thing once and it worked great for getting the compressor up on the roof So this works really well and what we did is we're gonna take a I prefer 18 volt I did this with my 12 volt, but it didn't do so well Just got a adapter there You could use half inch Head or you could use three eighths. This is three eighths and then this bolt Right here, which I tack welded here will control it a lot easier than doing it by hand cranking along And since we're using a worm drive that won't come down So you're gonna be able to control your load without having a so-called break on it to worry about it falling down on somewhere or whatever and then You can do it in high speed you could do this with an impact So what we're gonna do is gonna take our half-inch drill here with three eighths Drive on it. You can do that with a half inch if you really felt the need to and we got a three-quarter inch socket right here This three-quarter inch here also matches the size bolts back here on the back So you can use the same socket to tighten those up and get those into place and same thing here with our worm drive Now what we got going on we tied a battery to it your ladder You're going to preferably use probably an eight or ten foot depending on what it is You could be on a roof hatch put down a piece of plywood so that you protect the rubber roof or whatever you have and then you're just going to taking up your slack and Then you can just lift up Your load right on up To there like that now you're obviously using the ladder as the balance point here Even if you have a hundred and some pounds on there It still isn't going to be an issue Generally most compressors are only going to be around 100 to 150 pounds unless you're getting really monstrous one Which I don't see why it wouldn't work. You may have to go with a heavier ladder This one's only rated for 300 pounds, but as you can see I have 20 dollars or 30 dollars in the winch and Really nothing in the metal battery obviously doesn't weigh much, but it was for demonstration purposes And then once you got it up to where you needed that you can sit there and lower it back down All right, and like I said you can do this with a straight ladder also and it Hooks on those rungs exactly the same way And then you just sit there and balance the straight ladder With your one hand and then you take your other hand Holding onto your drill and just run that thing up in the air That's almost a good four foot five foot away from the roof for those ones out there Yeah, it's a rough a rough whatever you want to call it. That's about it guys. That's one's pretty simple It worked really well. I used this on a pressure change out on the roof and It lifted it right up. You can put some washers on the Back side of that right there to strengthen it up on the bracket And the nice thing about this is not only is it low cost, but you don't have to have 120 volt The reason why I had this one a little bit longer here was so that it didn't fall into that area there Like I said, you can hook it anywhere on the rung that you need to but that's The principle behind how it works You can make it out of something else. You can go solid tubing You can go with whatever it is you want to do and then Make it as strong as you want But the principle of it is like I said, you could actually move the winch back to here You could put a pulley here and the pulley would double your Pulling power supposedly. All right and one last little invention I got going on here is another little crane And this is just made out of a uni strut Uh basic L brackets took them welded them on to the Metal down below drilled a hole through it sideways Put half inch bolt in there same thing there that way you could change the feet if you want to change the feet You can change your length your height and you can move it to whatever you want basically what we got It's just a little trolley system here, which works out just awesome You can put a chain come along on this put your compressor down below and you could lift it up now There's not a crap load of stabilization down below here And like I said, you could add on to them. You could make them longer And here's the last of my gizmos that I've kind of built over the years We've got a compressor polar Or a caddy whatever you want to call it This right here. I think they're 35 bucks 45 bucks in the stores This is nothing but a half inch black iron pipe that I put in a rigid tripod and bent it around the edge Took a piece of stainless steel, which didn't have to be that Drilled a hole through it welded around it and grinded that down and then a piece of metal strapping Basically was used to hold the shelving in the van to the wall. It was kind of a thicker piece It's generic, but I've been wanting to rebuild it forever. Honestly, it does just fine one of my other gas mode digits This here basically is a Borrowed idea could have been made with one single piece right here. I could have taken this piece of metal Got it heated up with my hand torch Bend it into a loop that would have been eyelet and then could have welded the edge corner This here could have been it would have looked a little nicer If I would use another piece of that and bend it and welded that on there But instead I just used a washer another washer cut in half and welded there And then I just took this piece here and then bent it in the vise Heated it up that way it made it easier to bend and then the way this actually works is basically I've got my rope. It's got two hooks on it. I used the heavier hook at the top That helps hold it. This is not real heavy. So if there's quite a bit of distance Between you and the ground where you're trying to lift up your stuff Um That will sway around in the wind a little bit. So may have been nice to have taken this up to the next diameter possibly But what you do is you just lift your whatever it is you're wanting to lift up and then You pull it up to the rough and then or if you're say you're wanting to take things off the rough and put them on the ground You let them down and then you pull on the other hook And it just unhooks and you can lay your torches down your vacuum pump weight scale refrigerant bottles, whatever about as equivalent to this Gadget here. This is three eighths copper What I did is I put it a CO2 bottle for paintball gun in the vise And I took the copper and just wrapped it around it And then once uh before I got too close to this area right here I took my bending tool and bended this up and then same thing down here I swedged this And bent this in advance then brazed it together Then I went through with my braze and added different spots Along the lines and then I also did it in multiple different spots on the side there and This side here takes care of this side Now I'll only draw back the way I did this because I didn't have any three eighths ones I went ahead and used these quarters and stuck them inside there, but in all reality It's quarter inch here anyway So whether or not Does it really freaking matter? You're pulling out in liquid the The principle behind this is you can throw it in a bucket of water I can hook this here on one of my shelves in my truck And throw it in a bucket of water and throw some ice in there with it And recover some 410a I have For the most part nothing in that at all these are made by cps and they are I thought 125 bucks or something like that Not worth it. I wouldn't pay that much when you can freaking throw this Together in a jiffy unless you just like spending money I'd rather spend my money on cool tools that I can't build This stuff here is brain dead and then this last thing here Stole this idea off another guy where I used to work at This is just a three eighths. It says quarter inch tea So the principle behind this thing here and you could use whatever hose you want What I do with this I put my flushing solution Let's say here and the nitrogen here. I can sit there and have them both shut off And open up one Shoot it through Hook this to another one of the blow guns with a little rubber stopper in it And then inject the flush solution in there Shut that off And then just open up the other one, which would be a whole lot easier if I didn't have one hand on a camera And blast it on through It kind of saves you a little bit when you're Say you're shooting upwards and you just are trying to flush it Say you're in the basement and you're shooting up the side of the wall and you don't want the crap floating back down on you This here allows you to keep it solid Connected to it and then blast it through you could use a compression fitting With the copper line whatever Either one of those things would make it a little easier. My new compressor puller is going to be made out of this I believe it's one inch diameter Uh, see maybe stainless steel is what it looks like. It's hollow tubing What I plan on doing is uh cutting a 45 degree angle on both sides here Welding a bead around that taking this side here smashing it down with a hammer Getting me a piece of flat stock Probably inch wide inch and a quarter wide and then just wrap it around something that's round And well to bead there and there and then add a little piece of rubber on both sides instead of the duct tape It'll look a little nicer, but you know It works just fine that generic tool there is never going to get stolen and if it does I'm out squat.
