o ring pick? i use a tooth flossing pick. last bag i got on sale were Oral-B Glide floss picks. they wont scratch anything. they are a little bit pliable to work into tiny spots too.
If you're going out for a big game or tournament, make sure to bring back-ups for everything. Back-up marker, hopper, tank, mask, pod pack, extra pods, extra parts if it's a quick fix, back-up shoes, back-up pants in case they rip, back-up jersey in case it rips, etc. Basically back-ups for everything you possibly can for those big games and tournaments.
+1 for bondhus Allen keys, I've been a maintenance engineer for 20 years and have used them exclusively for 10 of them. They are the rolls Royce of Allen keys, virtually unbreakable, and very corrosion resistant. The ball ends are ground very precisely too. Best in the world.
Ive always had Eklind, theyre very nice. Used to work in a machine shop where we used lots of 1/2-13 bolts, so my 3/8 has been well used, including having a 6ft pipe used as a cheater bar daily for 2 years.
I keep one of the plastic ammo boxes in my kit. In it I keep a set of each metric and sae hex keys, needlenose pliers, channellocks plus rubber grippers, a few screwdrivers, a hook and pick set, PE grease, PE oil, purple Loctite, autococker valve tool, 6" adjustable wrench, wire strippers, snap ring pliers, cutter for macroline, a tank pressure tester, and an extra asa with short piece of macro sticking out for draining tanks I keep the O-rings and extra parts in a separate box Forget those stupid expensive microfibers, get a pack of 10 or 15 microfibers for $10, theres no reason to spend more than $10 on a single cloth
I do for everything else including batteries that aren't for paintball, but for my gun and hopper I buy their name brand packs. Try their prosecco sometime if you are over 21 btw!
Hey there! Not video related, but its a doubt I had recently Does color matter on your equipment? I mean, is that an important drive to pay more money for the same product just with different colors?
I try to keep it all black, its usually the cheapest color and it is way less noticeable when you are playing in the woods or even on an air ball field. It doesn't make a whole lot of difference in air ball, but it for sure does in the woods.
some people will pay more for certain colors as they like how it looks better or trying to match with their gear, but in all honesty plain is the way to go unless your a fan of a certain color way such as dyes dye cam colors.
I always bring an extra mask and tank if I can in case something happens to either one and I don't have money or time to get it fixed. I bring an extra thing of everything basically. I also always bring my extra extra stuff in case someone needs something so you can sell some of the stuff you don't really need.
I carry a rubber tech mat for working on markers. Nothing sucks more than dropping a screw or an O-ring in a crack of a picnic table and never finding it again.
Hi PBRML, great video. I travel to games by motorcycle and I wanted to get an Exalt Lens case for my EVS lenses but I'm not sure if they'll fit [They're huge!] Thanks
Hey I have a dangerous power g5 and was wondering what upgrades I can get and what brands I can use also your vids are sick keep it up I absolutely love them
The best upgrade for a G5 is the turbine bolt then a new barrel (V4 eigenbarrel). The turbine bolt should allow it to shoot mid grade paint and maybe some higher end stuff.
That depends a lot on whether or not you're willing to buy used (there are reputable used dealers such as Trademygun) and how much you're willing to spend. New you could go for the Gtek160r, RSX/XLS, or DSR. If used is something you're open to, you can often find LV1s and GEO 3/.1/.5s going for under 700. Next time you go to your local field ask around and see if anyone is willing to let you try their gun out so you can get a feel for the way it shoots and ergonomics.
Thanks for the video! I've been waiting for this one for a while and it did not disappoint! I was curious about something. Is it legal to paint your compressed air tank with some type of ceramic paint as long as you don't cover up the dates? Just curious, I'd like to paint mine a matte black if possible. #pbqt
I've been told that worst comes to worst Garage door Greaser will get the job done in a pinch if there arent any other lubricants around at home. Any opinions on that guys?
Multipurpose Grease is an absolute last resort, but I can't imagine a time when you'd need to use it. If you don't have any grease and you have a game the next day, probably best to turn up and ask someone politely if you could borrow some or ask the site staff if they have any for sale or to borrow before playing.
baby shampoo. i'm super cheap. i make up a little spray bottle of a 1:1 baby shampoo to distilled water. take that to clean goggles through the day of playin'. when i clean my mask after a day of playin' i take a shower with it on then i rub strait shampoo onto the inside of the lens after my shower and let it set overnight. lightly buff off next day and put gear away ready for the next game. no matter how tired i am i wont go to sleep with a dirty uncleaned up mask. i'll take a day or two sometimes to clean up the rest of my gear but the mask gets clean before bed.
Get some oil and put oil in the threads of the bottomline every now and again. A cronus is disposable. If you can ever manage to break it, that's the only time you should need to open it up, even then, I would just go buy a new one, theres nothing more tedious to disassemble than a Tippmann
Hey im just starting to get into paintball and im trying to buy equipment but i dont know a lot and im willing to learn i just need some help and i want to start off small and work my way up with better equipment. I recently have bene looking at the "D3FY SPORTS D3S PAINTBALL GUN W/ TADAO BOARD - TEAL/BLACK/BLACK" marker on ansgear but it says it is a low operating systemp between 150psi-160psi. I am confused on what tank to buy and i need some help. I was looking at the "GUERRILLA AIR PRO ROUND BOTTOM COMPRESSED AIR TANK W/ P3 REGULATOR 48/3000 - BLACK" tank. I was wondering if this will work on my gun and alsoi was wondering if the "GI Sportz LVL Paintball Loader - Black/Black will fit on this gun too. PLease if anyone could help me/
any standard hpa tank and any hopper will work. Most tanks put out 700-800 psi and the regulator that is built into the marker will bring that pressure down to 150 psi. As long as the tank doesnt have an SLP or SHP regulator then you will be fine.
Ashraven PB Thank you so much. With the tank I was looking at there is a Low pressure reg and a Super low pressure reg so I'm guessing I should either get the low or use the P3 one that comes with the tank?
"So you can get hammered at the field" is the quote of the day.
Baby powder is a must. It keeps your balls from getting stuck together (not paintballs, your actual balls).
First world problems
It still works as a great anti-chafing product, balls or not.
Josh Stone i use gold bond cause its easier
Rain lid. Athletic tape. Extra o-rings/parts (especially tank o-rings because a lot of guys forget those. Multiple barrel covers.
“I don’t use battery’s dog”😂👌🏼
channels awesome man... love the high quality.. only "paintballtuber" to produce in such quality ...keep it up...
A pair of Clear & Smoke lenses is always a good thing. The weather can always change, and you don’t want to stop playing.
Clear, Yellow and Coloured [Tinted] for me!
I always have people asking me for batteries on the field lol
"AYOOO ANYBODY GOT A 9 VOLT"
Lmaoo I just say no after awhile
o ring pick? i use a tooth flossing pick. last bag i got on sale were Oral-B Glide floss picks. they wont scratch anything. they are a little bit pliable to work into tiny spots too.
I think your PBRML headband is a must have. May not be for cleaning or maintenance, but it’s pretty much life or death.
You pretty much covered the necessities. Good vid.

I'll vouch on the bondhous gold Allen wrenches use them every day at work an love them an they hold up extremely well
Nice info, practical, easier, honest. Go forward this way !!!
I always make sure to bring blunt wraps, raw papers, and a dab rig with torch.
Marciano Hammer 7?
Yes hammer 7
Marciano Parafina forgot the clear eyes
Have you seen the new batch of Ultra Cheap 4500 psi compressors (Like the Yong Heng)? I bought one and so far it's awesome.
uhhhh link?
zoid berg you can also google or youtube search for a 300 bar compressor. I Also bought a cheap water/oil separator. So far so good.

I keep the O-rings and extra parts in a separate box
Forget those stupid expensive microfibers, get a pack of 10 or 15 microfibers for $10, theres no reason to spend more than $10 on a single cloth
Nice Trapped Under Ice in the beginning.
I keep a spare air tank. Had one go on the fritz once mid-sesh. Really try to keep spare everything if possible.
Gotta say IMO amazon basic batteries have worked the best for me. They are a damn good price the more you buy and they hold a solid charge!
Strap wrench!
The Kirkland makes great products and I will stand by them
I do for everything else including batteries that aren't for paintball, but for my gun and hopper I buy their name brand packs. Try their prosecco sometime if you are over 21 btw!
From what I've heard Kirkland battery are just repackaged Duracell's. Consumer reports rank them very high.
I work at Costco everyone loves their wine haha it very inexpensive too
I have the azodin blitz 4. Would I need grease or oil?

Some sites will sell the lesser selling color schemes for cheaper than the more popular color schemes
Flathead and Phillips head screwdriver.

Glad i'm not the only one getting "hammered at the field"
What kind of oil/grease for my ETEK 5 will I need. Does it come with some?
You know what comes in handy is a spray bottle of water! Use it to clean paint off your clothes, mask, etc.
I always bring an extra mask and tank if I can in case something happens to either one and I don't have money or time to get it fixed. I bring an extra thing of everything basically. I also always bring my extra extra stuff in case someone needs something so you can sell some of the stuff you don't really need.
How do i clean the paintball shells out of my mask also does the azodin blitz three need grease
I carry a rubber tech mat for working on markers. Nothing sucks more than dropping a screw or an O-ring in a crack of a picnic table and never finding it again.
Hahaha, "...bottle opener so you can get hammered at the field" - cheers to that!

This might be a really dumb question but does anybody know if I need grease or oil for my Azodin Kaos 2 again really sorry if its a dumb question.
J.T. impulse grease or oil I’ve been told both by my local shop but idk thanks!
Most likely oil for the bolt/rammer. You will need grease for your HPR and other internal O-rings.
Josh Stone thanks!! For the help
No problem!

Is it legal to paint your compressed air tank with some type of ceramic paint as long as you don't cover up the dates? Just curious, I'd like to paint mine a matte black if possible. #pbqt
It is, but it'll destroy the resale value of the tank (painting your equipment is generally a bad idea if you plan on selling it later)
I've been told that worst comes to worst Garage door Greaser will get the job done in a pinch if there arent any other lubricants around at home. Any opinions on that guys?
Just stick to paintball specific lube/grease/oil
Multipurpose Grease is an absolute last resort, but I can't imagine a time when you'd need to use it. If you don't have any grease and you have a game the next day, probably best to turn up and ask someone politely if you could borrow some or ask the site staff if they have any for sale or to borrow before playing.

I use procell lion batts in my hopper they weigh practically nothing and last forever
best gearbags to buy???
OGIO in my opinion. They have a life long warranty and are built for anything.
You can make do with a hockey bag, they are just as big as other bags and often with many compartments but for a much lower pricetag.
Contico storage box. Durable as all hell, under $50, and you can easily package everything to fit without scratching it all up.
Does dye rize rize grease or oil?
Grease, should have come with some. If not I would get some Eclipse or GoG grease.
