Sandro is in his ELEMENT at the laser shop, he knows exactly what he wants to see from the tools and he's got such a clear picture in his head of what he expects. I love these two, their attitudes are such a good pairing and their knowledge combined makes this so conversational but informative.
Sandro is the man who has seen some shit, been some shit and done some shit. He's goofy because he knows that, in the moment, he's got 95% of things handled.
Sandro and Angelina have really good chemistry and host balance together, she is very technical and explanation orientated, and he is naturally funny and relatable. So when their together you get good detail, but also it doesn't become too dry because he keeps it light.
@@matthewbarry4464 Was just going to say, Sandro's funny and relatable but he still knows his shit. They're both pretty knowledgeable and great at explaining things, both in terms of "what broke", "how to fix it" and/or "this is how this system works" - which is why I forgive the react videos because it's not *just* them going "WOW THAT'S CRAZY", but they actually break stuff down and talk about what happened.
its a no brainer for them. some of the students will be early adopters, will get used to it and love it, and will insist on getting it for their shops asap.
@@DCimpressionsthis is what makes it a win all around. The school gets a great tool for free, and I’m sure students will fall in love with it and it will lead to sales
To Donut Media: RMS is now the best thing you’ve got going. Sandro and Angelina are SOLID GOLD!!!! I will watch them on whatever channel they’re on. Angelina’s videos on her channel have taught me a lot and Sandro is hilarious!!. I grew up in L.A. so their style makes me feel right at home. Please don’t screw up this channel!!!
The laser cleaners are the most insane to me. I’ve seen them for a few years now and don’t stop being amazed by it. They were originally invented to clean statues at church’s and stuff that are super old because cleaning them was wearing them down over the centuries. The craziest thing I’ve seen is a guy cleaning a piece of metal and the laser went over his hand. It didn’t even hurt him and all his friends started laughing saying “dang those are some clean nails”. No joke it cleaned the dirt under and imbedded in his nails. Crazy technology.
@@Kai...999 Nah, way simpler. It just vaporizes stuff by dumping a lot of heat into it really fast. Human skin doesn't absorb the energy of _some_ laser wavelengths as readily so a short exposure will be fine, but it _can_ easily cause very nasty burns.
Lol it has nothing to do with everyone intelligent and talented leaving for better horizons and all that's left are the every day suspects and cholos too sad to make an honest dime?
Quite honestly Angela is the worst. She literally mansplains every lost issue repeats herself like six times and then doesn't add any specialized information on each topic. She's me just more toxic

@@charles-antoinemartel-roy As an aerospace design engineer, I can say this accounts for about 25% of the reason. Another 25% is cost saving measures by reusing existing parts. The remaining 50% is, "We want you to redesign this 1000+ component assembly for X reason, but any changes you make can't result in us having to do any sort of static or dynamic testing, and we need it done by last week." But hey, working on planes is still fun tho!
I found Angelina on TH-cam back when she was making classroom style videos and that helped me tremendously and got me through my automotive classes during covid. I absolutely love her. And Sandro just has the best humor!
@@mattiemathis9549 you should see industrial-size laser welders just CHURNING through quarter-inch steel plate. The really impressive bit isn't just how clean and consistent the weld is, it's how fast you can get the weld done. Imagine a robotic welding apparatus, computer controlled (similar to what a CNC operator does these days), that can churn out consistent, repeatable, flawless looking welds on any kind of material combination.
Not gonna lie, I got semi when I saw how clean that was. It's no artistic TIG, with blued steel and a weaved bead, but for practical applications it's just *chef's kiss*.
ANGELINA and SANDRO hands down best team of mechanic hosts on this channel. All the mechanics deserve some credit but when I see SANDRO and ANGELINA, I know I'm going to get a good episode. Thank you.
That VR tech is definitively a future. Cars are already becoming so complex that new mechanics have hard time to catch up and repairs take forever because doing anything more complex on a car you have never worked on is like planing a brain surgery.
It's actually AR (augmented reality) not VR. I'm going to agree that it's going to be the future for technicians in any field where you are hands on, but need easy access to documentation to assist in the job.
Both of them understand the practical application but the duo of angelina going in depth on what were seeing then sandro putting what angelina said into laymans terms for average people to understand is so fire. Add on their individual personalities and natural chemistry and its a certified banger everytime. We love steph and paul too
I think the really impressive part of those laser rust removers is the lack of damage to the object. It's really easy to scratch up the finish, or have to remove a lot of material, using more traditional methods like wire brushes. That wrench looked basically new after it was cleaned.
@@Vermilion2214 it's more then a lot. What bothers me with the video is the fiber welder, though. That fiber laser welder is capable of blinding instantly from 100s of feet away. The company I worked for built them. They were run on robotic arms in sealed rooms with special glass to catch stray radiation. The goggles they had on aren't even for fiber optic laser's wavelength and didn't have a seal.
Biggest downside of the fancy lasers is that they cost tens of thousands of dollars. Once they become more mainstream and aren't the price of a new car, hell I might even get one to do rust removal on the side lol
@@johnconnor2572 If you are the type that likes to research, you should look into wavelengths. Different colors, densities, and compositions all have an effect on a lasers abilities. For instance, a fiber laser can cut black acrylic, but not clear. Clear acrylic just heats up and melts.

As someone that semi regularly uses a different model laser welder, I winced seeing him stick his face right over the reflection zone without a laser welding helmet and have his hand infront of it. I've felt the beam bouce back onto me and the warm vibrations from it, but I've also blasted thin holes in mig gloves by accident. Just a personal safety hairs on the back of my neck thing watching him. That said, I can weld 2 pieces of 16 gauge steel together and touch the metal bare handed 3-4 inches away from the weld area immediately and regularly weld on 18 gauge flanges onto things without warping. Even demo'd the unit for former coworker and his new employers and they got one as well. Ain't cheap though, ours cost around $20k, and now miller sells thag brand of laser welder for $50k but you also get the new carbon fiber helmet with it instead of the yes welder helmet with an aluminum plate and special piece of glass
Honestly, at this point Donut should just do project videos with these two. Watch as Sandro and Angelina take their Civics to the next level and then race them at the end!
They should be the only two on these advice videos. Sure they can say in the thumbnail when that Miata founder is doing a video but these guys are the greatest duo of all time.
A big thing with induction heaters is that because they work so fast, you're far more easily gonna heat up for instance a nut fast enough that it expands a good deal well before whatever it's on expands too. That id much more difficult to do with a torch. A lot of induction heaters also have fairly basic coil attachment solutions. The one I got just clamps down on it and it's 5mm diameter. So for $18 I got a 5 meter roll of 5mm copper brake line and a roll of fiberglass sleeve. Meaning, for 18 bucks, over the last 2 years I've made about 8 fully custom shaped induction coils/attachments to fit it in difficult places, and I still got about a meter left.
I was a technician at Firestone for a few years. Absolutely loved this little gadget for alignments, some of these trucks/cars in virginia are absolute rust buckets.
@@popeye089just watched the most recent donut vid, not that I have a problem with it but the 🏳️🌈 vibes were up there imo, they also got a new guy as well
I'm a Robotics/Automation engineer and a former electro-mechanical technician. In engineering classes we had a professor who told us there are only 3 types of engineers. He stated that 90% of all engineers can be easily categorized into groups 1 and 2, and only the last 10% in category 3 are worth a damn. He had everyone in the class stand up who came from a technical background (~12 of 80) and told us in front of everyone before our midterm that we were the only hope to save engineering and that he would personally be grading us harder than anyone else because he would rather see us fail than become category 1 or 2. 1. Engineers who became an engineer for job security and money 2. Engineers who are essentially artists and have minimal to no real world experience working on anything as a technician 3. Engineers who were former techs or think about the tech first when designing something
Absolutely spot on! Not an engineer but, was a mechanical draftsman (20yrs) in Aerospace DoD R&D. I did the iso's from multiple engineers ortho's building everything into one unit ... on paper ... for exploded views (I made the transition to AutoCAD early 90s, still in DOS). They appreciated that I was a prior jet engine mechanic and certified motorcycle mechanic. If I caught an error and corrected it, no one got butt-hurt egotistical about it, they said thanks, good catch. All of those engineers had first hand experience getting their hands dirty, I learned so much from them. I miss those days. All that I worked with in the late 90s into the 2000s fit your 1 & 2 category.
Group 3 represent! I'll never forget the look on a machinist's face in my first job when I went to him and asked "hey, this is what I learned in school for notation, does it make sense to you? Anything I can do better?" The cynical, grouchy, angry machinist would fight my boss tooth and nail about an "emergency" project, but if I said "Hey I need..." he just held out his hands for the print. It makes ALL the difference. Professionally, I live by the motto "if I make their job easy, they'll make my job easy"
Love that Redline donated that unit to the school Angie teaches at! As others have said, a smart decision for both business purposes and for community outreach/goodwill. I can see how useful that tool is, not just for the shorties out there, but just saving mechanics of all sizes from excessive back pain. Plus I’m sure even the tall mechanics can’t easily reach the back of the engine bay of a modern bigass pickup.
What works better for a chair is the folding rear jump seat from a 2011 or earlier Ford Ranger. I keep one in the bottom of my tool box. It's fantastic, and because it's upholstered it won't scratch paint.
When she said: "I'm not gonna lie, this is... A little... AROUSING." I sprayed my drink all over the place. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just wasn't expecting that at all!!! 😅
He does cause it's a hack. That's why she has a predictable throw pattern, she is thrown off by the wild name too. It's like saying it in a different order triggers a Brain glitch for a millisecond and that's all it takes.
I think, by how that was edited , you have the editor to thank for that. I do not think that scene happened the way we saw it. But, yes, my first thought was, is he looking at the creeper?
15:33 in 2012, at Princess Auto (basically Canada's harbor freight) I bought a ratchet, and if you're stuck in a tight spot like this, it has gears inside, so twisting the handle (like a bike throttle) would turn the ratchet. You don't have to be able to move the ratchet at all!. $12 over a decade ago
I have a Stanley ratchet like that, got it around 2004 or so. I’ve only used it about 4 times since then, but when I used it, it was literally the only tool in the world that could do the job.
It's really weird that there's virtually nothing on the internet comparing gearless vs rotator ratchets, given that they basically serve the same niche of needing a ratchet when there's little swing room. I imagine a gearless ratchet can deliver more torque, but a rotator needs literally zero swing.
Something else to think about with the Redline Creeper (great name!) is it opens up the field to disabled folks who wanna into working on cars! Someone who can’t stand for too long can get on that thing and do his work, I use to know a guy who use to paint cars till he got hit by a car, that would let him work on the hood of the car and maybe the roof! Fantastic product
My whole life, I have always done two things, 1. Study the Human Condition and 2. LEARN from EXPERTS. I am an expert in my field, I know what I am talking about because of my 30 years of experience. When I hear Sandro and Angelina talk, I just try to soak up as much information as I can. The real weird thing? I will NEVER work on my car, but this information is so fascinating, and so well presented, I can't stop watching, and I just have to know. Being a lifetime learner, you never stop.
4:03 there are going to be a lot of permanently blind welders while these laser welders become more common. there is no safety squints. there is no "oopsies, guess i got some arc flash." there is either 100% full protection from ANSI spec goggles, or you go permanently blind INSTANTLY. Just the reflection of the laser off a surface can be powerful enough to instantly blind you permanently before you can blink. no oopsies. no "walk it off". not even any surgery will be able to correct your vision. you will be completely blind forever. its a massive contrast from welding where you can get away with a lot more safety wise. if a skilled electric welder grabs a laser welder and tries the same tricks, they could be horrifically injured
The important thing is it didn't fry the camera. That means one can attach it to a robot and one can do remote welding. It'll work in space and underwater. No need for cleaning. Just go there, weld and come back without all this diving and astronaut training.
Well, that's what you gotta learn. As an industrial maintenance tech, safety equipment is there to help you, not do it for you. Either you work safely inherently, regardless of the glasses or gloves or ect, or you don't work in the field for long. Ive seen new techs get injured regardless of the safety gear, and I've seen techs with a decade behind them weld upside down in a wet environment while laying on an I beam fourteen feet off the ground with no safety harness (actually that was me). Safety gear will never beat knowing how to work safely.
I have both the 1/4” and 3/8” zero degree ratchets and you can use it just like any other ratchet and it will change your life. I work in marine mechanics and LOVE those things
In my younger days I worked in the family business doing the paint work on Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Honda...what ever if the owner wanted to do the repair/restoration work properly on their chariot. That first body work robot could not add an old 1980 RR fender or Q-panel that needs to have its body seams smoothed out using "Lead". That is definitely a lost art. Having said that, the Laser that destroys rust and probably the Laser welder, Bolt heater, definitely has a much needed place in restoration work. That Superman Creeper is the Goat.
I can think of a dozen reasons to keep the collapsible stool in your pickup, trunk, shed, wherever. My first thought was taking it fishing or hiking even. Gotta go check it out.🤠
Donut may be dying and I had to unsub after it just got worse and worse when Jerry and Zach left but as long as Sandro and Angelina are the bread and butter of this channel I’m here for it
I love watching these two!!! They have such good on screen chemistry!!! Also Steph!!! I love when she is on the channel too. Sandro, Angelina and Steph are the titillating trio!!!!!
That first video: the guy in it that kept saying "look at this, they are taking our jobs".. Dude, they have had automated welders, etc. in auto factories for years now
I use a Finkbeiner lift like the one on the video here in Germany. It's at least 20 years old and I trust it 100%. I prefer it simply because you can open the doors on all cars that are not lowered to the floor, without havin to squeeze in
I agree with Angelina about the over the motor roller. I am a big guy (6’5” 300 pounds). Yes I can reach places without it but there are times because of my size once I get there I can’t do anything where someone with smaller hands and arms can get in there and do the job but can’t get to it. This solves this issue!
I have a laser cleaning machine, mine is a pulse laser and it's a lot easier on surfaces that aren't going to coated. They are less than $10k. Laser welders are like a mix of TIg quality and Mig speed.
The induction heater can be made for a lot cheaper than that, as well as the heating coil being in a different location than the base unit via heavy wire and probably two coolant flow tubes as well... so it can get to be super chaotic and messy. The other solution is a tig welder. Just strike an arc on the nut and hold it a half second and she's movin'.
Laser rust removal and laser welding are Simply Amazing!!! Str8 Up!!! All body shops and any mechanic shops should absolutely 100% invest in these!!! They're Amazing Tools!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I love that the VR headset examples is a ChrisFix video and an old forum post from probably 2005 🤣 I would honestly love something like that, even if it's just to have the service manual up to double check instructions or torque specs.
laser rust removal is fcking awesome, worked for a contractor out of caterpillar, we got one to clean the parts, well, the smaller parts, or small sections, as those swing arms are fucking massive. once had to clean EVERY threaded hole on an ENTIRE frame, we have a 50 ton over head crane, and a truck crane with counter balance of course, well, osha wont be happy, but it doesnt matter now i no longer work there, we hooked both up, the 50 ton over head, and the truck, and it still brought that truck off the ground, the counterbalance did fuck all, those frames are massive and redonkulously heavy. I dont miss that job, there wasnt a day I felt safe, Ive worked as a welder, and id rather do that naked then go back to working on those damn CAT parts.

@@afroman5531 Why mention it at all? Sounds like you do have a problem with it
@@coastaku1954 Watch Seinfield then you might understand. Not that there's anything wrong with it.
This is the best video of the two of them together. Damn they are great. Can't wait for the race!
I'm a Robotics/Automation engineer and a former electro-mechanical technician. In engineering classes we had a professor who told us there are only 3 types of engineers. He stated that 90% of all engineers can be easily categorized into groups 1 and 2, and only the last 10% in category 3 are worth a damn. He had everyone in the class stand up who came from a technical background (~12 of 80) and told us in front of everyone before our midterm that we were the only hope to save engineering and that he would personally be grading us harder than anyone else because he would rather see us fail than become category 1 or 2.
1. Engineers who became an engineer for job security and money
2. Engineers who are essentially artists and have minimal to no real world experience working on anything as a technician
3. Engineers who were former techs or think about the tech first when designing something
Absolutely spot on! Not an engineer but, was a mechanical draftsman (20yrs) in Aerospace DoD R&D. I did the iso's from multiple engineers ortho's building everything into one unit ... on paper ... for exploded views (I made the transition to AutoCAD early 90s, still in DOS). They appreciated that I was a prior jet engine mechanic and certified motorcycle mechanic. If I caught an error and corrected it, no one got butt-hurt egotistical about it, they said thanks, good catch. All of those engineers had first hand experience getting their hands dirty, I learned so much from them. I miss those days. All that I worked with in the late 90s into the 2000s fit your 1 & 2 category.
Group 3 represent!
I'll never forget the look on a machinist's face in my first job when I went to him and asked "hey, this is what I learned in school for notation, does it make sense to you? Anything I can do better?" The cynical, grouchy, angry machinist would fight my boss tooth and nail about an "emergency" project, but if I said "Hey I need..." he just held out his hands for the print. It makes ALL the difference.
Professionally, I live by the motto "if I make their job easy, they'll make my job easy"
These two just feel like friends I've never met. Sandro making me roll over here LOL
Every comment is about how sandro and Angelina are the backbone of this channel and i couldn't agree more
And interestingly most of them have only commented on this channel once. I'm guessing a lot are bots saying the same thing over and over.
"Overall, it looks tight" as Sandro is walking behind Angelina... my thoughts exactly Sandro! :)
wholesome moment
I thought exactly the same haha 🤣
I was thinking the exact same thing. She's pretty hot and smart to boot, along with a great personality, of course.
Love that Redline donated that unit to the school Angie teaches at! As others have said, a smart decision for both business purposes and for community outreach/goodwill.
I can see how useful that tool is, not just for the shorties out there, but just saving mechanics of all sizes from excessive back pain. Plus I’m sure even the tall mechanics can’t easily reach the back of the engine bay of a modern bigass pickup.
I gotta say, Justin busting out laughing in the background whenever these two talk really adds to the experience to me 😂
1:20 Somebody take that R8 away from Sandro 😂😂😂
I hope these two are getting paid the big bucks. They’re killing it. I’ll watch anything they host.
Sandro the underrated mechanic comedian
You take that back! Sandro is HIGHLY rated by us!
What works better for a chair is the folding rear jump seat from a 2011 or earlier Ford Ranger. I keep one in the bottom of my tool box. It's fantastic, and because it's upholstered it won't scratch paint.
When she said: "I'm not gonna lie, this is... A little... AROUSING."
I sprayed my drink all over the place. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just wasn't expecting that at all!!! 😅
13:48 "paper, scissor, rock"??? That threw me way off 😂
Right everything is backwards in California I think😂
I always called it Rock, Paper Scissors and I live in Cali, no idea why he says it that way lol
Definitely him lol, not a cali thing for sure. We call it rock paper scissors like everyone else😂
He does cause it's a hack. That's why she has a predictable throw pattern, she is thrown off by the wild name too. It's like saying it in a different order triggers a Brain glitch for a millisecond and that's all it takes.
@@mattadams7922it's not that deep
Sandro needs a "For the Boys" livery or at least that as a sticker on his Civic for the race.
He needs to start using "Ferda Boys" instead XD
Ryan Long and Danny Polishchuk already have that Slogan and Merch. I'd love to see Sandro on Boyscast though.
Steph , Sandro and Angelina needa start own channel. Definitely would love to see them do some builds
I am not a mechanic. I know nothing about cars. But the personalities of these 2 kept me watching the whole video.
These tools are pretty sweet. I could've used em back in the day.
Amazing. You guys are great.
At 9:16 Sandro is saying what we are all thinking. No way that was unintentional lol.
"Overall, it looks tight."
Let me see! Let ME see!!
He's all about that body work.
“You go ‘that’s a nice ass’ then you stand back and you’re like ‘that’s a nice ass’”
Tight! Oh ya the creeper is nice too!
I think, by how that was edited , you have the editor to thank for that.
I do not think that scene happened the way we saw it.
But, yes, my first thought was, is he looking at the creeper?
15:33 in 2012, at Princess Auto (basically Canada's harbor freight) I bought a ratchet, and if you're stuck in a tight spot like this, it has gears inside, so twisting the handle (like a bike throttle) would turn the ratchet. You don't have to be able to move the ratchet at all!. $12 over a decade ago
This one is gearless, which I suppose is the new innovation.
@@3xceIIent they sell them at fred meyer, not really new but can be better than tooth & pawl
I have a Stanley ratchet like that, got it around 2004 or so.
I’ve only used it about 4 times since then, but when I used it, it was literally the only tool in the world that could do the job.
It's really weird that there's virtually nothing on the internet comparing gearless vs rotator ratchets, given that they basically serve the same niche of needing a ratchet when there's little swing room. I imagine a gearless ratchet can deliver more torque, but a rotator needs literally zero swing.
18:46 Reminds me of that scene from Bruce Almighty when God opens the filing cabinet full of Bruce's life history 😂😂
I thought the same thing lol
riiight...?... i was searching for this comment
Something else to think about with the Redline Creeper (great name!) is it opens up the field to disabled folks who wanna into working on cars! Someone who can’t stand for too long can get on that thing and do his work, I use to know a guy who use to paint cars till he got hit by a car, that would let him work on the hood of the car and maybe the roof! Fantastic product
My whole life, I have always done two things, 1. Study the Human Condition and 2. LEARN from EXPERTS. I am an expert in my field, I know what I am talking about because of my 30 years of experience. When I hear Sandro and Angelina talk, I just try to soak up as much information as I can. The real weird thing? I will NEVER work on my car, but this information is so fascinating, and so well presented, I can't stop watching, and I just have to know. Being a lifetime learner, you never stop.
@8:22 Sandro in mental paralysis trying like hell not to make a "Maxi-pad" joke.
Serious question, what is a Maxi-Pad?
@@paulomunozartavia2282 period pad.
@@Acorn_Anomaly Thanks, boss. I guess it is a brand
@@paulomunozartavia2282 It's a female sanitary product used to protect clothing (underwear) on a monthly basis.
12:10 this is why Sandro is the best😭😭😭 he knows all the scenarios!🤣🤣 he has been around them tóxicas!
💯 😂
4:03 there are going to be a lot of permanently blind welders while these laser welders become more common. there is no safety squints. there is no "oopsies, guess i got some arc flash." there is either 100% full protection from ANSI spec goggles, or you go permanently blind INSTANTLY. Just the reflection of the laser off a surface can be powerful enough to instantly blind you permanently before you can blink. no oopsies. no "walk it off". not even any surgery will be able to correct your vision. you will be completely blind forever. its a massive contrast from welding where you can get away with a lot more safety wise. if a skilled electric welder grabs a laser welder and tries the same tricks, they could be horrifically injured
The important thing is it didn't fry the camera. That means one can attach it to a robot and one can do remote welding. It'll work in space and underwater. No need for cleaning. Just go there, weld and come back without all this diving and astronaut training.
Well, that's what you gotta learn. As an industrial maintenance tech, safety equipment is there to help you, not do it for you. Either you work safely inherently, regardless of the glasses or gloves or ect, or you don't work in the field for long. Ive seen new techs get injured regardless of the safety gear, and I've seen techs with a decade behind them weld upside down in a wet environment while laying on an I beam fourteen feet off the ground with no safety harness (actually that was me).
Safety gear will never beat knowing how to work safely.
I have both the 1/4” and 3/8” zero degree ratchets and you can use it just like any other ratchet and it will change your life. I work in marine mechanics and LOVE those things
I love when Sandro and Angelina get paired together. They are so flipping funny together
In my younger days I worked in the family business doing the paint work on Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Honda...what ever if the owner wanted to do the repair/restoration work properly on their chariot.
That first body work robot could not add an old 1980 RR fender or Q-panel that needs to have its body seams smoothed out using "Lead". That is definitely a lost art.
Having said that, the Laser that destroys rust and probably the Laser welder, Bolt heater, definitely has a much needed place in restoration work.
That Superman Creeper is the Goat.
I liked this episode where they got to actually see the stuff in person and not just react to videos, even those are very fun with this duo
4:13 This is the Way
I can think of a dozen reasons to keep the collapsible stool in your pickup, trunk, shed, wherever. My first thought was taking it fishing or hiking even. Gotta go check it out.🤠
These two MVPs single handily carrying this channel.
Donut may be dying and I had to unsub after it just got worse and worse when Jerry and Zach left but as long as Sandro and Angelina are the bread and butter of this channel I’m here for it
I love watching these two!!! They have such good on screen chemistry!!! Also Steph!!! I love when she is on the channel too. Sandro, Angelina and Steph are the titillating trio!!!!!
So glad I found this channel. Love these two!
The laser rust remover is great to clean your nails and hands.
Don't do it to often though.
That first video: the guy in it that kept saying "look at this, they are taking our jobs".. Dude, they have had automated welders, etc. in auto factories for years now
Shoutout RedLine for donating that creeper to the school! That’s tight.
I bought one of those stools at Aldi for $10!!! Carried it all weekend at Comic-Con and it was invaluable for long lines.
I use a Finkbeiner lift like the one on the video here in Germany. It's at least 20 years old and I trust it 100%. I prefer it simply because you can open the doors on all cars that are not lowered to the floor, without havin to squeeze in
The match up is finally happening! EVERYONE REMAIN CALM!!! Let's go! For all the boys and the girls! I'm psyched!
9:36 missed opportunity to call the product "nut buster"
Paging Dr. Parker. Paging Dr. Ray Parker jr.
impact wrenches own that term
YES, a Sandro Angelina race teaser at the end, I am hype! I love these two (and everyone else on RMS) and am so glad y'all are keeping it strong.
This is great. More actual demonstrations of things in person, rather than just reacting to clips. Plus Angie and Sandro are always great together!
I agree with Angelina about the over the motor roller. I am a big guy (6’5” 300 pounds). Yes I can reach places without it but there are times because of my size once I get there I can’t do anything where someone with smaller hands and arms can get in there and do the job but can’t get to it. This solves this issue!
Nice switch-up from the norm and with my 2 favourite mechanics.
I have a laser cleaning machine, mine is a pulse laser and it's a lot easier on surfaces that aren't going to coated. They are less than $10k. Laser welders are like a mix of TIg quality and Mig speed.
Yeh we need that engineer episode for sure!
Angelina and Sandro need to do a build off!! High low drag, drift, or rally car would be amazing
The induction heater can be made for a lot cheaper than that, as well as the heating coil being in a different location than the base unit via heavy wire and probably two coolant flow tubes as well... so it can get to be super chaotic and messy.
The other solution is a tig welder. Just strike an arc on the nut and hold it a half second and she's movin'.
Using Angelina's O face for the thumbnail is wild yo 😭😭
She’s a hottie, they know how to get clicks
Angelina and Sandro my two favorite mechanics on the show 🙂
For real dude, that welder is unbelievable.
1:30 Just imagine a any Industrial Robot, moving back from the car and using the worst Text-To-Speech.
"OH! yes... That is. A. niceass..."
Laser rust removal and laser welding are Simply Amazing!!! Str8 Up!!! All body shops and any mechanic shops should absolutely 100% invest in these!!! They're Amazing Tools!!! 🔥🔥🔥
0:24 "They took our jerbs!!!" Lol
9:16 I agree, looks really tight
At least we still have some classic hosts.
The vr one is simply a Meta Quest 3 out of the box!
He was watching a TH-cam video and had google or another web service on the other tab for specs!
I love that the VR headset examples is a ChrisFix video and an old forum post from probably 2005 🤣 I would honestly love something like that, even if it's just to have the service manual up to double check instructions or torque specs.
These two are the fuckin shining jewel of this channel
really is there channel
ANGELINA: "I wanna see them do a Honda crank bolt, then we'll talk.." I was thinking the exact same thing at that moment 😅
I’ve seen a tech bend a 1/2” Snap-on breaker bar trying to loosen one.
@@freefall8243 My 250 pound buddy was literally hanging at the end of 6 feet of pipe and nothing happened lol
laser rust removal is fcking awesome, worked for a contractor out of caterpillar, we got one to clean the parts, well, the smaller parts, or small sections, as those swing arms are fucking massive. once had to clean EVERY threaded hole on an ENTIRE frame, we have a 50 ton over head crane, and a truck crane with counter balance of course, well, osha wont be happy, but it doesnt matter now i no longer work there, we hooked both up, the 50 ton over head, and the truck, and it still brought that truck off the ground, the counterbalance did fuck all, those frames are massive and redonkulously heavy. I dont miss that job, there wasnt a day I felt safe, Ive worked as a welder, and id rather do that naked then go back to working on those damn CAT parts.
Sandro and Angie need to become hosts on Donut, great chemistry and hosting skills. Very entertaining.
07:53 If my man ever decides to get off his tools, he'd have no problem being a comedian. He's constantly on that "sh¡t"😂😂😂
Its the OGs!
My Fav two!!!! poor Angelina cannot win a single one
