For those that dont know those Bolts used in the mounts with the big heads are reffered to as elevator bolts . Great video Cody
Named so because their "normal" purpose is for holding the buckets onto the belt of a grain elevator.
apollo robb - Thanks 🙏🏼 I’ve been looking for those
and didn’t know their name. 😀
@@jbfabrocks FACT
available from McMaster-Carr, zinc plated and stainless
@@brianjohnston560 Also available in plain and black oxide, and others by order I'm sure. I work for a fasteners supply company in the upper Midwest. I'm no expert, but I do know more than the average Joe.
i used to use the long snap on screwdriver to repair HP Laserjet printers, there was one screw on the assembly that could not be reached with the outer case installed - it saved me hours of lost time and knuckle scrapes, even for a IT nerd.
Keep up the great content, commentary, and faith in others. Good luck with the shoulder and the move.
hello! i used to fix oki printers for many years. hi from NZ
My first SummaGraphics plotter came with an 18" long Wiha screwdriver just to put in 2 screws that held the stand together. I no longer have that plotter, but I still have that screwdriver.
To all you people scrolling through the comments as you watch the video
I hope you have a wonderful day 😁
Thank you
@@somekid6718 np!
Thanks, you too!
@@whydoihavesomanysubscriber9729 Np!
@KAOS NATION :)
Cody, those carriage bolts are not that special, you just have to know where to look for them. They will have them at a semi trailer dealer/repair shop. Those are used in semi trailers to keep the walls smooth.
Sweet loaf is such a good little TH-cam star!
My new song scgooltime id wow
"All that confusing metric nonsense" - You sure do know how to troll your European audience! 😂😂😂
confusing is right They can shove the MM's we are in the US not England! LOL
@@jerrygilles9612 why is that?
People do realize the US military uses that “ confusing metric nonsense “? It’s fine to be pro this or pro that, but just because it is different doesn’t make it nonsense.
Just a dumb question. If the weight of the large container of water is the problem, why not just fill the container only part-way? The footprint is the same....
well you still have all the heavy stuff like the engine a lot lower. Lower centre of gravity results in better mobility.
Stop with the logic!! Ben are you related to Eileen Dover?
DAMN YOU AND YOUR LOGIC :)
It was probably free.....
Water sloshes in the tank, and becomes an added dynamic force. It can actually cause tipping when your vehicle is already in an unstable position. Much harder to manage a vehicle with half full vs full, even if the tank is baffled. Spent plenty of time driving various fire apparatus with 50-2200 gal tanks. Half full is terrible.
Be careful going up a steep hill or sidehill with that slipin unit. You have drasticly altered thé center of gravity.
Snap on screwdrivers for a dollar? I’ll take that deal all day!
Haven’t bought a China made product since March. Will pay more for American from now on. Yes connectivity and cheap was nice but man I forgot how much of a difference there was in quality
I have been doing the same and it makes me happy. VERY unhappy when I found a pair of hunting gloves alleged to be US made had a very small CHINA tag in their liner ...back to the store they go, id rather have frozen fingers
If you have an air hose you can blow off stuck tubes lines and hoses.
Take a screwdriver and pry open a little spot, them shoot a blast of air in that opening. If really stuck. Squirt a tiny bit of WD40 in the opening.
Thanks for the video Cody! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🖐😁
Cody, that Blue Monster Teflon tape is literally the best stuff on the market. Also, there's a Green Monster Pipe Dope for larger fittings too. Those are the only two you will ever need.
Cheers and good luck with the shoulder. I'm glad that you are allowing people to help and giving yourself some time to heal.
Many prayers to you and your family.
“This is the point where I usually stab myself” 😆 Yep, I’m with ya!
How old is the sweet loaf now?! Crazy to see how those kids have grown. As Jack races towards spreading his wings, I’m curious to see how many items have been ticked on that old preparedness list for men venturing into the world. It’s a list I aspire to for my boy and also I would love to see manly manners make a resurgence here and there. Best of luck to you and the family on this new chapter in life, we thank you for being so open and sharing with your family.
She is 2
Wranglerstar uh oh! Bear rescue!!! I’m glad sweetloaf was able to have you help her bear out of the water. Did the bear need first aid?
I learned a tip just the other day for removing hoses: use a compressed air blower nozzle in there, it will separate the hose from the fitting.
Yep. Also works great when installing/removing handle bar grips.
I second this. Came to the comments to see if anyone had mentioned it yet.
Also works great to separate stuck 5 gallon buckets stacked in each other
Or siphon gas. Nozzle in tank, rag stuffed around to create a seal. One burst of air and gas will flow. Compressed air is such an underrated versatile tool
@@Colterkni801 be careful with that two fluids in a hose can cause a piston effect under the right conditions can make compression. I have used that also with very lite air presser. Thanks for sharing!
Cody, just saying when you move all of your tools is to keep it organized so that you dont have to make yet another video on how to organize your shop. :)
I have been watching for years and it is amazing seeing changes throughout the years
Sometimes when your working on a project with kids around you just have to 'grin and bear it'.
Check out Yosemite Prepper on TH-cam. He has prepping videos (I'm a fan)
I would love the U.S to be self reliant again
Loved the video.
It might take 3 times as long to do a task with the wee one in toe. Next time you do the same thing the wee one will tell you the order of operations and how to do it properly.
The satisfaction of a tiny person laying down the law as a project boss is one of the best things I've experienced as a father.
The sweet loaf is a charm Cody your grandad will be proud seeing her getting stuck into the tools
Great video Cody! Glad it went fairly smoothly, and we appreciate the suggestions!
I almost unsubbed when you had the teflon going the wrong way.
Yeah I was triggered there for a second but I know he knows how to wrap it; BTW the blue stuff is way better, buy too much.
@@gregdimas3011 , I still think it would have been better if he would have put some loctite on there also. 😆😆
@@byronmill Naaaa, no need for Loctite. Teflon tape is when they didn't seal the bottle and it's slighty dried and becomes more of a solid form. They just created a new brand to sell it. 🤣
West coasters,
😂
I almost always use a long shank phillips ever since I first used one working on large format copiers and laser printers. Just seems better to me.
Metric: too confusing for people who can add 32s of an inch in their heads.
Imperial is just too chaotic.
@@timo.5449 I'm in the UK and even we gave up on it for smaller measurements. We still use yards a lot, and miles are still on most road signs.
Noone:
Cody: put Locktite on selflocking screws👍
Elevator bolt, in case anyone is wondering.
Yes! Thanks! Would love to hear about the honda. In the market for 1 for use on my 100acre deer lease...👍👍
I 1st thought she was looking at an ultrasound.. I almost congratulated you and Misses W. haha
I completely thought the same thing and the title of the video kinda makes you that’s what it is as well
That looks cool. Though i fail to see how metric ( decimal system) can be confusing. You must be an east coast man. 😂🤣
Of the joy of taking apart /putting together a well made part or piece of machinery. It certainly saves my blood pressure and the temptation to throw it across the workshop😊
the young lady really likes the tools. smile
So idk how right my father might be but when it comes to hoses like that he taught me to put a very light coating of axle grease on the nipple where the hose meets it so it doesn't stick to bad like it did on you. He has told me that it helps keep it fresh, keeps it unstuck, and it helps create a better seal. I did it on my car radiator when I replaced it and it hasn't had any issues.
Resurgence of USA made products, YES I'd LOVE to see this. I've kept a tally of what I have spent buying items USA made (when I can) over foreign made for the past 6 months. It comes to a little over $1,700 more. To keep U.S. businesses/workers in the green is well worth it.
A couple of things! I also switched to monster tape, i have been using the gray type it does both gas and water. Second thing is boy I feel your pain on the plastic fitting... I don't know how many times i have been heavy handed trying to get something done and broke one... love your channel as always! God bless you and yours!
It still amazes me that QTAC have such good engineering/customer service. I appreciate you are an "influencer" but for them to chase you when you have issues says that they will be pretty pro-active for the average Joe!
A boom in US manufacture would be good. I'm in the UK and I still buy either US/UK if I can. There is a definite difference in quality.
One option for the water in the channel issue is to use a non-setting gasket like Hylomar blue on the base of the soap tank so water can't get in there in the first place. Whatever you do you will end up with rotting stuff, blocked drain or a creepy crawly home in there otherwise.
Soft grip (plastic) jaws on the hoses and gently twisting them starting at the top and working inwards is the easiest way to break the hoses free, if someone saw you jamming a screwdriver into a hose in the aviation/critical environment you wouldn't last long!
I have the same long Phillips screwdriver. I got mine in my early twenty’s when I was early into collision repair. Used it to adjust sealed beam headlights.
That is the origin of these long screw drivers. The fit through the alignment fixture that suctiond cuped to the headlights..
JCarson115 👍exactly!
Exciting! Keep on keeping on, don't listen to your detractors. I know its tempting to give in and stop fighting - but you are a light to others. You offer hope.
The problem is that if it isn't in the store when you go to buy what you need, you can't buy it. Made in America is really nice! And I would buy it more often if it was available, but when I have a project and need things done and need a tool or item to complete it, I can only buy what is there. The Made in America option decision is being made way above the consumer level many times anymore.
Here in Oklahoma we do have stores devoted to products Made in Oklahoma which is great, we need stores geared to things made in America!!!
Jack is wearing a Land To House shirt!
Much LOVE to you and your Family regarding the Move!❤
When wrapping Teflon, wrap tape 3 times around the fitting. In regard to the hose stuck to the fitting, try using WD-40, silicone spray, soapy water, or oil, use an awl, or the screwdriver to pull the hose open just enough to get the lube between the hose and the fitting...Hope this helps
I have two boys who are over 14 years apart. It sure is fun watching them grow up. Just remember how fast it goes. My youngest is 9 now and it seems like yesterday he was sweetloafs age. Congratulations on the new place!
Looking forward to your new location. Question, why not keep the large tank and just put less water in it when on the small vehicle?
For my long Philips screwdriver, I cut the shaft and welded in a long piece of the same size mild steel round stock, making sure I kept far enough away from the tip with the heat so the tip didn't lose its temper.
That qtac is an amazing unit. Little outta my budget but I'm planning to put something together similar for myself. Fire preparedness seems to always be on my back burner of things to do. After your recent videos I'm putting it up towards the top. No, I dont have the same acreage you do...but I've got neighbors who are elderly.
no corners cut, except the grade 5 hardware I saw.
“Confusing metric nonsense” oh Americans you do make me laugh
Especially considering Americas weights ameasures is metric but had to convert back to imperial
I’ve said this before, but living in Canada is weird because we use both imperial and metric. So I’m cool with either except my height and weight is imperial only.
@@H3110NU I grew up learning metric in school but as my dad was a mechanic I learnt imperial from helping him.
@@1südtiroltechnik Congress passed the metric conversion act in 1975 but it was voluntary and the people of America didn't adopt it so they stuck with imperial measurements
I pray to the good lord that you are correct with us going back to MADE in the USA!!!!
So adorable "Hey poppa, hey poppa". Love it. God Bless you all and have a safe move!
Wonderful how he helps his daughter to learn stuff instead of crying for help! I bet she's more competent at fixing problems than anyone with a master's degree when she's five...
Love learning things. We own some property and this QTAC system for water protection looks awesome.
May God Bless you and your family as well.
I'm a young father of two daughters. I wasn't expecting to learn a good lesson on raising kids. Thanks for that.
The baby is just outside playing. I love it.
Wow!!! Your son grew up sooooo fast! Good to see he's becoming a great young man! Good job mom and dad!
I cant wait to see how it performs on the pioneer! thanks for the video.
I’m happy to see that everything fit on the smaller tank, nice job 👍
So glad you did this vid ...
I was looking for Elevator Bolts and didn’t know what they were called.
It was getting frustrating, problem solved !! Wooooo !
Can you pull from the big tank if you want to. Just use it to hold water
Hey Cody always enjoy your videos.
Blue Monster is good for air and water. I have been using the grey Mega Tape for oil. Works fantastic.
Am sure that time will zoom by. Good luck with the move -epic challenge ahead
The teddy bear dropped in the was so cute, and stuff dropped in the tank happens every now and then in the fire world. lol. I may have had my BK radio sloshing around in a tender tank for a few hours. It still works though. Thanks!
I suppose I’m a little late with this question but, would it be possible to use the old QTAC and just fill it halfway?
Yeah but I'm pretty sure he got the new QTAC for free or for a very minimal cost so why not get another one
That's alot of weight to be sloshing in the back of a side by side.
Full tank= no sloshing.
Hey Cody, I know you get parts for the fire fighting setup free or at a reduced cost but that fitting could be repaired. I am guessing that broken fitting is made out of ABS plastic. A can of MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone) just brush on some MEK on both peices and hold them together for a minute. It wil be good to go in about an hour. Keep a can in your shop for when things go south or you need a temporary repair.
A LITTLE HEADS UP ,, as a sailboat owner and of course i turn my own wrenches ,,, TRY MARELON FITTINGS ,, ALL SHIPS CHANDLERY CARRY THEM ( boat parts house) , these fittings are actually a marine grade NYLON fitting ! They come in all plumbing variations/sizes and are tough as nails ,, cost more than plastic but last forever . really enjoy your shows ! A COUNTRY BOY WILL SURVIVE !!
You should do a collaboration with USNERDOC on your shoulder. Wonderful man and family.
I am a Metrologest which is a calibration engineer !! I have 2 of the 24" phillips and flat blade screw drivers!! They have saved me so many times trying to change or realing a piece of equipment ! Best investments I have made!!
You can get the same SnapOn screw drivers through Caterpillar (branded Cat) for 1/3rd the price of snapon.
Looks like things are coming together!

You know sometimes your taste in something’s are not quite what I’d consider but after seeing the bottle of Tapatío I will never question you again haha you are a good man Cody
Good luck with your move! Too adorable with your daughter!
The pioneer 700s are a as tough as it gets we load 1500-2000 of cattle mineral in the bed and run through rough canyon country all day long. We pull well over 2 tons of fence posts and wire through corn fields and pasture ground. Only problem we have is tires. Not fast and not fancy but so far they’re the only ones that hold up in our line of work.
We put a skid on our Polaris 6x6 in 20122 at our VFD, Also we have a mount for a stokes stretcher as to be a multi use rig. We discovered that running the pump at idle was more effective for most grass fires. Our 60 gals lasted much longer. This was bought due to the 2011 fires here in Texas. Designed by our Chief
Cody, shooting a little compressed air down the side of the rubber tube will help release it from any connections.
Bought several Fenix & FourSevens lights many years ago (CR123a), all still functioning. Bought a bundle of 3 rechargable Olights last week & I love them so far. USA
You have such a beautiful family. Love watching videos of when you are making or taking apart stuff. Great video. You & family stay safe.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had the chance to watch a video. Jack surely has grown up! Keep up with the great content.
QTAC is the best, we run the Emergency Services stretcher set up on our Mules
A little heat in those hoses helps get them off, great job!!
Using pliers (Channel Locks) to twist hoses helps break the connection for easier disconnects.
An odd coincidence that bear could find its way down such a small opening...
Without fail, I always grab a 5/16" nut driver whenever I know a screw clamp is involved! Straight screwdrivers slip out repeatedly when trying to loosen or tighten one. I have run into a few with 3/8" but most are 5/16.
Cody as a pipefitter by trade you kill me turning that ball valve on with that dead blow hammer. I know in all your tools you must have a pipe wrench
On the bright side of switching he has a big water storage tank if a well freezes some how or breaks
Blue monster also has thread sealant also known as pipe dope. Blue monster is definitely what I like the best.

Man, you took the words out of my mouth when you said this is usually where I stab my hand!!
Nice gear 🤙🏽
I guess I missed an episode somewhere 😕. Could someone please catch me up as to why changing tanks?
Try using Coldfire as your class a. No nasty fluorinated foams. I’ve used it and I’m quite happy with it. It’s actually not to bad as far as price goes and it’s natural you could almost drink it (don’t say you should tho). And it’s good on class b fires too so it packs a double punch. Just make sure to use the right aspiration nozzle for class b’s
My husband works in construction, he’s a pipe layer. He had a repetitive strain injury on his right shoulder for years. We used to have to try to tape ice bags and wrap elastic bandage around his shoulder after work. His wasn’t torn, but same area. The only thing that started helping his muscle injury heal was when I started feeding him jello and adding plain gelatine to most of our cooking. Muscle and skin injuries benefit from more animal protein in the diet. It’s needed to rebuild the tissue properly.
I live in Northern Ireland so we never need to get ready for fires. It must be hard over there Could u do a review on your tractor. Thanks ✋👍
Cody. Use one of your small torches to heat the rubber hose.
measure your racks or mark them for each shelf helps with the reset
Next time you have a stuck hose, use and air compressor to help blow off the stuck hose. Lift up a corner of the hose with your pick and blow in the compressed air.

I would say rotator cuff if its only over ur head. When I tore my Labrum my arm was useless
Sounds like you have a torn Labrum.. Ive been dealing with it for about 4 years now. I usually get an injection and I am good to go for a year or two.
Never cut the star 🌟 of the channel off Cody! She was so excited, I wanted to see what she had found too! 😂
Your shoulder sounds like what I went through last year with a torn rotator cuff. Good luck! Sounds like it was confirmed at the end...
If I put my hands to the side in an L shape. That was leveled with my shoulders, I couldn't push up without pain, for me it was aching pain, 3 doctors said it was a rotator cuff. They had my arm in so many positions I couldn't tell you how many or what pain means what but the doctors on here could and The doctors knew I was a pitcher in high school and in college without prior knowledge.
Have you ever reviewed BPS knives on Amazon? They seem to have a great value for a great price.
