What happened to the torch cut chain links? At 4:35 in the video they started working with saw cut pieces of round bar and the large chain link pieces were never shown in the rest of the video
Yeah they switched it out. I bet you those link pieces are given to the folks that actually have some sort of furnace that can get up to the melt temp of steel. I've seen other ones where they have small-ish bootleg blast furnaces that help them smelt rebar out of scrap like that.
Came to the comments looking for my people that also had their jaws drop at those welds. That man can name his price if he could get to the right markets.
Not just steel toes. "metatarsal" boots. There is sooo much wrong hear by modern standards but they are getting it done. Wonder how many days since lost time accident right?
The cost of labour is artificially inflated in developed capitalist countries as part of maintaining the hegemony of wealth, while labour in foreign countries is kept artificially low. In Bangladesh it's cheaper to have dozens of workers tapping the underside of ships with hammers to remove rust - rather than machines.
@@RadioMartyT1BSafety standards are enforced as a mechanism to keep the price of labour disproportional. Only a petty capitalist who wants to live in gentrified liberalism would truly desire such things. You don't need capitalism to have safety standards and health care.
I checked on Amazon and eBay. They had plenty of open-toe sandals available BUT none of them had a safety certification. I also checked for some invisible welding goggles... same result. Guess the Asian countries are keeping these workware items for themselves. 😢
The only difference between steel toes and flip flops is a steel toe shoe cleanly cuts the toes off and flip flops just mash them flat so they should be called flat flops.😆😆
"... so you see we were gonna make watches and they repossessed the microscopes, so a quick thinking engineer said "let's make these instead", and thus a billion dollar industry was born "
And that ladies and gentlemen is what a third world economy looks like. The ingenuity and drive of all these men is amazing and who are we as the "first world" to tell them to stop using the resources found in the ground. Our economy was based on fossil fuels (and still is) and to force alternative energy sources is unjust.
I love the PPE these guys all wear..... Very safety conscious....... I'd be willing to bet their lost time accidents are at least 75%..... Not bad at all.......
I was a welder working for the Lockeed Shipyard in Seattle back in the 70's. I wore sandals similar to what these guys have for 10 years without a problem.
The elites want Western workers to work in these same conditions, and that's why neither party in the "multi party systems" of government ever stops immigration.
I would hire anyone who manages to travel from Pakistan to the EU in a refugee boat in an instance. Someone with that level of bravery, determination, and sheer dumb luck can only be an asset for any company.
How were these “wheel spanners” used? I would have liked to see a demo. Who bought them and how much did each spanner cost? That was certainly “labor intensive” to make these items. Was it worth all that time, labor and huge carbon footprint from all that fossil fuel burning torches and furnaces?
Humans are the footprint. And evil wants all humans dead. (foot prints in the Sand on the beach where Jesus is walking with you in life, 2 sets of prints suddenly go to 1 set of footprints. Oh little one, that is when Jesus carried you). Evil wants the carbon footprints of people extinct. Carbon is life. Plants need CO2 or they die.
Well, since all those guys make about $3 a day, in a workshop with about $300 in equipment in total, on a plot of land which costs about $20 a month: yeah I'd say raw material is about 80% of total cost per product.
if its bloodey perfect what do inspection when its correct every time why do it need inspection thought of that one yea cut corners if they can cost more in the end
With the amount of energy required to cut the links into tiny pieces, I don't understand the economics of this process? Can anyone explain how it is profitable?
This is India. The workers get very low wages. Cutting up old steel and melting into new forms is cheaper than blasting and digging iron ore out of the range, transporting it to a Bessimer furnace, pouring it into ingots and processing further at a steel mill. This is technically named recycling.
Chain came from ships that are aground in Shir Lanka I think. Ships are then cut up and sold. Probably the same company that is paid to salvage is the company that pays these guys less than living wages. No unions in India or any other part of that area. As far as safety these guys learn quickly how to do their jobs or they don't survive. Always someone to replace them.
These guys are skillfull,the lathe,welding,its amazing what they can do,real craftman.The co. should take care of them better with proper clothing and shoes,glasses.A real expert could tell if its all up to par or not.
Don't matter where your from Man has always and will always Do what has to be DONE for what ever reason!!! What ever it takes How long it takes It will be done
Could you imagine how much these men could accomplish in a day if they had the right equipment it should make American men and women happy that they have stuff that makes their job a whole lot easier than this
Guy pulling cut chain must have the invisible steel tipped sandals. So glad we have OSHA & other agencies protecting blue collar workers.Guys are great cutting super straight cuts with torches.
I was wondering what they were too. I'm in the US so we do not call them spanners, but wrenches.. They recycle everything that can be recycled and that is very cool, the safety stuff is non existent for an operation like this so I don't even wonder anymore. These shops have workers that have much more skill than I would expect for a US based shop attempting to do similar work but I suppose there are little to none like this that actually exist. I have nothing but praise for these guys!!!
Steel toed flip flops should be mandatory
loll your must be lazi baby union
I need to pick me up a pair so our lazy baby union can work lmfao. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Naw man I saw the green patch, they be safety sandals...I have a similar pair
Whats next? fair pay? paid time off! SMH thats not how you run a s*ave empire.....
HA!! or at least steel toed sandels.
Say what you want but I respect these hard working men. Just trying to make a living like everyone else.

Actually no...not long after this video Snap On reached out to him bought him to the US and got him his Green Card now he's working in their R&D
They will recycle the whole American car scrap yard in now time
One day he's going to wake up and not see at all. I don't believe they don't wear goggles

Every place in these videos is covered in dirt and rust and grime. its so gross
somewhere in Pakistan a factory is making axles and anchor chain out of old wheel brace spanners.....
Probably Qingdao Anchor Chain co. ltd in Qingdao, China. They have been producing a good majority of marine chain since 1958.
Anyone notice the welders chipping hammer is made from a old drill bit....?👍
I did

Thank you
Not chain links. Size is nowhere near near the chain link
Yes, and why so specific marking the cuts on the link halves, while they were all different?
Yeah they switched it out. I bet you those link pieces are given to the folks that actually have some sort of furnace that can get up to the melt temp of steel. I've seen other ones where they have small-ish bootleg blast furnaces that help them smelt rebar out of scrap like that.
Those little chunks of cut chain were heated up and pressed to be the spanner end.
I'm pretty impressed how good those welds look
But how terrible a newly made part looks otherwise.
I was just about to say the same about the welds , bloody spot on I just assumed the guy was blind🤣🤣
Came to the comments looking for my people that also had their jaws drop at those welds. That man can name his price if he could get to the right markets.
Steel toes? Check.
Safety glasses? Check
Gloves? Check
Hearing protection? Check.
Yup, we ain't got none of that.
Do you understand why you have so much more for so little a cost?
Steel toes = Safety sandals
Safety glasses = Safety squint
Gloves = Layer of metal dust
Hearing protection = deaf already.
All covered bud lol

It's a Rolex made in Pakistan out of those giant boat anchors.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak frosted yellow gold.
Good thing they have open toes sandals so they can know which toes get crushed when the chain falls on them.
I'm always looking for missing toes in this video. Seen a few.
I worked with anchor chain for years ,this size and bigger. It gets your feet or bangs your ankles when it twists on you.sandals? No
I know the weather is probably very warm but sandals doing a job like that !?! Crazy.
The precision with such crude tools, techniques, and equipment is amazing.

0:20 - The guy showing off his Rolex. The advantage of running a TH-cam channel instead of physically working.

Unbelievable! Labor intensive! If they were made like this in the US, I can just imagine what they would cost!!
Amazing, good workmanship.
Western countries would automate most of this so it is perfectly done.

Mask for lungs
Gloves for fingers
Safety goggles for eyes.

Maybe they melt faster being smaller
Plus gas over there is probably dirt cheap I’d think?
Their living wage standard is much lower than Americans or EU.
Now what I want to know is how they transported and piled all that anchor chain in mostly one piece.

We're pulling down piles of anchor chains today? Okay, I'll be sure to wear my sandals!
I worked in a shipyard those links are so heavy
Looks like the chain was in pretty good shape. Why couldn't it just be resold into the shipping industry as anchor chain? What what do I know... ?
Maybe safety regulations
How much did the oxygen and acetylene cost to cut up those chain links?
they might make their own acetylene.
crazy eh
I see the one with the gold watch cares about the Health and Safety of the workers🤨 as i expect its the boss 🤔
Safety glasses really don't cost that much
¡I love how they wear no work boots, welding gloves, or welding goggles! 😱
What exactly are they making? Never seen a socket with a spline end.
Was any of the anchor chain actually used to make that thing?
Definitely filmed in Switzerland.
Darn. I thought it was Bolivia.
It's pakistan
I like there quality control ,,, if it can survive all the slamming around the assembly process it must be good 👍

Because surely there is a market for 5 million of these spanners.
Reminds me of a ST-Deep Space episode...in which they had similar items, impossible to sell.
I can't see how any process that involves people handling units one to 4 at a time in such manual methods can be consider "mass production".
Love the worker's steel toe safety shoes.
Its impressive and honest work. I just wish they got paid well, because we all know they arnt sadly.
Why don't they go into the ship chain business? Seems more money is in that than spanners.
Chain is used and scrap.
Watch the video in reverse and see how to turn spanners into chain.
They never told us what they were making. Splines on one end and a socket on the other? I give up. Hash pipe maybe? Anyone?
It's just a tire iron for a truck, made out of a recycled axle shaft and chain link.
Gotta love the safety sandards😅
