I’m friends with the guy who made the hood stay and he’s actually really smart and used school printers to test his design and found a prototype in engineering and produced a bunch more he’s really smart
That's really cool hope he does well. I like how simple it is. I have some evention ideas some are more complexed then others & hard to know how to actually create it into a product. I have admiration for someone who has done that really cool. my Xterra hatch keeps falling on my head I'll try to pick one up his up.
Just ordered 2 x hood stays.What a great idea. I am from Australia so the postage was a little horrible , but Scotty mentioned the inventor is 18 y/o and the big bonus, the thing is Made in USA and not CCP China. I hope the 18 y/o sells a few million of them :)
Except for Honda struts..which have double lip seals....the single lip seals can be refilled with nitrogen gas...for peanuts. You just have to know the pressure to which you need to pressurise them for the lift required. The struts are placed inside a tube, the tube pressurised with nitrogen..which goes into the strut past the one-way seals...but the seal then stops the nitrogen coming back out. Depressurise the filling tube... take out the now repressurised gas strut... reinstall and the strut works for another few years until the nitrogen again has very slowly leaked out....
@@JackMeyHoffer562 Unfortunately they will not post to me in Australia even though there was the option for postage and I was more than willing to pay, indeed had paid. They refunded in full.

This is one of my personal new favorite videos. I never thought I would consider paying over $50 for a belt, but I'm seriously ready to. And I dislike most egocentric "influencers", but Scotty is a rare exception. I've also needed the pneumatic piston clamp before but had to use a stick, that product is awesome, it would have saved me $75 bucks and a couple of bruises.
You know what’s crazy. Im in several Tacoma groups on Facebook and majority hate him? They are very rude and dont help one another but im there for the rig ideas.
Just a tip at 8.42 old mechanic of mine down here in Australia always had his belt buckle at the 10 or 2 o'clock position to prevent the buckle from scratching the fenders/guards when he was leaning over working on vehicles . Cheers from Down Under
I ditched my $750 car payment and bought an old beater car for $3k. Scotty, your channel has been a lifesaver to help me keep this thing running while I pile up cash to upgrade. Thank you!!!
Another great tool is the new trickle chargers that automatically shut off when the battery is charged. As most of us know, overcharging can damage a battery. Cheap too! A must have for riding mowers which always seem to discharge over the winter.
Scotty's doing fashion tips now! I'm hooked! Problem with those belts though: you have a couple of drinks and suddenly you forget how you unbuckled it. Then you're stuck in the loo panicking! 😁🐻😂
I actually own that belt, and its great! However, it does take getting used to, and I’ve had my share of “oh sh;t” moments, but thankfully nothing literal.
Awesome ,you have saved me so much money and have tough me so much. Recently I changed out my radiator. Dealership wanted almost 2grand!!!!! With your knowledge I did it for 290 bucks!!! Thank you Sir for all you do

While the hood strut clamp is a great invention, you can get a lot of replacement struts for $10-20 a piece on eBay. I've replaced a few. One thing about the brake fluid test strips. It doesn't test what in the caliper. That's usually the fluid that goes bad.

I like the first one. I don't have that problem with my car, but I work at a body shop and I constantly have to use small vise grips to hold up hoods when the hydraulics have failed. I hope it catches on

I wear a holster on an almost daily basis and while I really loved my 511 leather belt, it's stitching wore out. I retired it when it needs it, but that belt looks like a game changer. I should show it off to my fellow officers who wear their pistols when in civvies..
@@elfpimp1 it's honestly perfect for EDC- and that's a high bar for myself. I've used 5.11 forever, their duty pants (I'm a fire-medic & work TCCC for regional SWAT/CERT/etc) and my everyday wear are 5.11 tac pants w/Kore belt. It's not TOO stiff (as most duty belts tend to be) and comparatively low profile in comparison to most carry belts- able to move/get out of vehicles, etc without feeling/looking like you've got a "Batman utility belt" propping you up. I'd (& many officers and former USCG S&R Medics from my unit) absolutely recommend for officers/any EDC civvie who carries IWB or OWB.
The hood latch/strut clamp is my favourite. The rear door on the Pulsar hatch has clouted me on the head more times I can remember but with the car being so old (1998) I don’t really want to shell out for new struts. I’ve got to say the other products were pretty impressive too.
A headlamp is a must for any break-down kit. It leaves my hands free for night time repairs, such as changing tyres or swapping out a blown headlight bulb. I've been using a couple of very similar belts for years. You're right, they do last a very long time. The only downfall is they are so tough that experience tells me they can easily wear a hole through car seat covers.
My 96 Ford Taurus is twenty-five years old and I just finally replenish to brake fluid last week. It had the original brake fluid, and it has the original master cylinder and calipers. Original CV shafts to
Scotty, great program, but I already have a broom handle to hold up my hatch. I just had a yard sale and was surprised that all my old test equipment for my 65 Fold sold in a heartbeat.
I still have my dwell meter. Never know when I'll need it (probably never). But I still use a timing light and vacuum gauge to help set the timing on my Jeep.
The Hoodstay Hood Latch is a great idea, and I was going to buy one, but they are $34.95. New hood struts for my car are $21.00. You just got me to purchase 2 new struts for my hood... But I still love your videos. You just made me realize that 20 bucks for new hood struts were a great idea... lol :-)
My 'hoodstay' is a piece of 6" x 1/2" C channel aluminum with a strong magnet glued on. Cheap and effective. Drain and refill coolant, brake fluid tank, clutch fluid tank, power steering tank once a year. Cheap and effective insurance.
It looks like it can. Measure the clearance between the piston housing and the wall of your box. I know it works on the larger cabinet types that lift up but don't slide into their own top.
My question is “Who finds it liberating living in an HOA ? The only restriction in my neighborhood is “No raising pigs”. I can live with that but what I see from HOAs would brand me a criminal the day I moved in. No way I’ll ever be told what I can’t do on my own property and having no mortgage it’s mine not the bank
break fluid can't be measured when the car is cool, it should be measured after respective ride, until break fluid became about 65 degrees. those stripes don't lie, but you shoud use them right to give you the truth.
About forty years ago I made a modified storm door catch for my failed hood struts, Basically what I did was take a washer (stainless steel) that would fit around the shaft of the strut, cut a slot into the washer so it would fit around the shaft, bent the washer so it would work as a chock, bent the washer to get it around the shaft then bent it back into shape afterwards (one for each strut). I think I spent about 12 cents for the washers (being stainless steel). Worked like a charm.
That’s right Scotty! You tell ‘em… It ain’t gotta be (big) if you got the right tool for the job! Gotta love the rear end on that model and bet the gear ratio is 36.24.36…..definitely wanna see what’s under the hood and damn look at that trim package!
i live in an area where you can find sticks or branches to hold the hood. never have had to "buy" one here (and people dont seem to sell them either).. :) just find one, cut it to length, and leave it in the car.. tell your partner its to hold the hood/trunk so she doesnt automatically throw it away though.
I just got a pair of hatch struts for about $30 including shipping and tax. Yes, aftermarket ones but they actually appear to be more sturdily constructed than the Honda OEM struts, which would have cost about $90 to replace. On the OEM struts the plastic sockets for the ball had threads cut directly into the plastic, for the metal rod on one end and the metal casing on the other end, to screw into. The aftermarket sockets had brass or bronze insert fitted inside the plastic sockets.
You are correct best belt ever I got the as seen on tv one from walmart quality isn't the greatest but still lasted 2 years and & there only 20 bucks at Walmart buckle is still like brand new. It's the only belt that has actually worked for me I'm super skinny so anything I eat or anything I do I constantly change size and I can adjust as I sit down or stand up or walk or sit at a desk all day without even being noticeable, makes any clothing nice and comfy and actually fit correctly.
The brake fluid strips test for copper corrosion level but don't test for water content, which dramatically reduces the boiling temp of brake fluid. My understanding is that brake fluid should be flushed regularly to keep it "dry".
I've got a kore belt for its intended purpose and you're right it's a quality belt. Plus when I work on my cars the buckle doesn't protrude as far as a standard belt so less chance of scratching a fender.
That battery tester looks legit, definitely will consider it. Cave exploring is awesome, definitely need a strong light to see what the terrain has in store.

Scotty do you like USA made or foreign cars more? Second question do you support USA or foreign cars more? (Or does it just vary upon case to case?).

I can live with that but what I see from HOAs would brand me a criminal the day I moved in. No way I’ll ever be told what I can’t do on my own property and having no mortgage it’s mine not the bank
The Kore belt and a Crossbreed holster... the daily carry of choice for me. :)
I'm not sure about original brake fluid after 14 years. That may be the first thing I have not agreed with Scotty on....
I bought a Kore belt almost 3 years ago. I wear it every day and I work construction in it. It still has years left.
break fluid can't be measured when the car is cool, it should be measured after respective ride, until break fluid became about 65 degrees. those stripes don't lie, but you shoud use them right to give you the truth.
Wow good stay is exactly what I needed for my car hood
About forty years ago I made a modified storm door catch for my failed hood struts, Basically what I did was take a washer (stainless steel) that would fit around the shaft of the strut, cut a slot into the washer so it would fit around the shaft, bent the washer so it would work as a chock, bent the washer to get it around the shaft then bent it back into shape afterwards (one for each strut). I think I spent about 12 cents for the washers (being stainless steel). Worked like a charm.
I love watching Scotty's video's. "It's my regular belt too!"
Rev up your transmissions😁🤘
Love the videos Scotty‼️ Fun to watch and informative. 👍
Love the “cave explorer” imbedded photo…classic! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well done Scotty, nailed it again!
I love ratcheting belts. I have a dickies one for almost 3 years and it's really the only belt I own now
You are appreciated Scotty cause there is a lot of crooked mechanics&dealers out there . you are a TH-cam superstar.
That’s right Scotty! You tell ‘em… It ain’t gotta be (big) if you got the right tool for the job! Gotta love the rear end on that model and bet the gear ratio is 36.24.36…..definitely wanna see what’s under the hood and damn look at that trim package!
I like to roll up the fat Woolford and get all schmoked up whenever Scotty Kilmers tests the new products
I need to get one of those hood latch things👍
Very nice! thks for all the product reviews!
The Kore belts are great. I have the snap on/off buckle. Two belts one buckle.
Many interesting tools Scotty. Especially the horoscope.
Great Scotty Kilmer
i live in an area where you can find sticks or branches to hold the hood. never have had to "buy" one here (and people dont seem to sell them either).. :) just find one, cut it to length, and leave it in the car.. tell your partner its to hold the hood/trunk so she doesnt automatically throw it away though.
Great stuff!! Glad I watched this video!!! 👍👍😉
I just got a pair of hatch struts for about $30 including shipping and tax. Yes, aftermarket ones but they actually appear to be more sturdily constructed than the Honda OEM struts, which would have cost about $90 to replace. On the OEM struts the plastic sockets for the ball had threads cut directly into the plastic, for the metal rod on one end and the metal casing on the other end, to screw into. The aftermarket sockets had brass or bronze insert fitted inside the plastic sockets.
Scotty's picture props!! LoL 😆
Doritos, Snap On, Baseball Hat....& Duck
Scotty love your videos shorts and especially these tools videos
Headlamp is a life changing tool. Jobs are a million times less frustrating when you can see what you're doing
Damn I wish I knew about that pneumatic strut clamp so many bumps on the head lol when I forgot to put my stick there OUCH!
Brake fluid near and in the calibers is where you want to test and a simple brake bleed will fix that.
You are correct best belt ever I got the as seen on tv one from walmart quality isn't the greatest but still lasted 2 years and & there only 20 bucks at Walmart buckle is still like brand new. It's the only belt that has actually worked for me I'm super skinny so anything I eat or anything I do I constantly change size and I can adjust as I sit down or stand up or walk or sit at a desk all day without even being noticeable, makes any clothing nice and comfy and actually fit correctly.
The brake fluid strips test for copper corrosion level but don't test for water content, which dramatically reduces the boiling temp of brake fluid. My understanding is that brake fluid should be flushed regularly to keep it "dry".
I've got a kore belt for its intended purpose and you're right it's a quality belt. Plus when I work on my cars the buckle doesn't protrude as far as a standard belt so less chance of scratching a fender.
That battery tester looks legit, definitely will consider it. Cave exploring is awesome, definitely need a strong light to see what the terrain has in store.
Scotty is one of a kind….not enough of his kind in the world:)
