GET YOUR IRWIN COMBINATION SQURE HERE BEFORE THEY RAISE THE PRICE !!! : goo.gl/Zojpq0
Wranglerstar may I ask what your gripe with the metric system is?
Empire has made in USA squares that are roughly the same price. The 16" seems like it's good quality.
Both the English (Imperial) system and the French (Metric) system have their place.
The metric system makes you a bit lazy, you don't get to use your brain as much.
Wranglerstar have you ever tried kobalt tools that is the brand I use and it seems to be a really good brand
Захария he is trolling us. He did a video about it, admitting metric is simpler and better.
"The days are long, but time is short." I feel like this almost every day. Your comment about going into the wood shop, slowing down, working with your hands, and putting aside the fast passed world was almost therapeutic. I started watching your channel a long time back and whenever I feel like I need to center myself your content helps me do that. My father passed away in 2002 when my younger brother and I were just coming to manhood. My father was a craftsman and skilled in many things. His time was cut short before he had the chance to teach my brother and I all he knew or, we had time to listen in our busy lives. Now I often find myself going to TH-cam to somehow makeup for that lost time.
Thank you for your hard work and for sharing with others what you have learned.
"The metric system is dumb" *TRIGGERED*
Ok, so... Instead of having one standard measurement for example a meter, and using easily calcutable increments in tenths, hundreths and thousandhs, lets make a system of arbitrary measurements based on some former imperial rulers body parts.
Let's take that one portion from the end of a thumb to somewhere near it's first joint. Call that an inch. Nice.
Now we need something longer. How about a foot? That's a desirable length isn't it? Wait, how many inches fit in a foot? 12? We'll go with that.
Hey, didn't we have something longer already in place? A yard? How many feet fit in there? 3 feet? Or 36 inches? Ok, write those down.
What about those peasants far away from the castle? Which one lives nearest? Miles? Ok, well that's a nice length for a walk. Herbert, make a yard-stick for your dim-witted cousin have him go and see how many times he can tip the stick over itself from the castles wall to Miles' house.
*3 hours later*
Turns out Herberts cousin can count! Also, 1760 yard-stick-tip-overs to Miles' place.
*From the background* "Sir! Herberts cousin also went around the horse-track! 220 yard-stick-tip-overs!"
Right! So a fur covered track is 220 yard-sticks long! How about skipping some words and calling it a furlong? Anyone? No? Settled. Write them down and forward to everyone in the kingdom and erase all else.
Well, probably now how these came about but probably not far off ;)
LanviLauri you wrote a short novel and failed to realize the obvious sarcasm...
Tyeler, go back to school until you can tell us the real story of metric and Imperial units. Oh, and check the spelling of your name. Your mother lied to you when you asked her how to spell Tyler.
About 30 years ago, I spent a year of study in CA. Once I told another studend about the metric system. She said: this is so simple, why we dont have it?
I guess we are all different and some stick to the things they know and the other try out.
Just telling always "metric is dump" is not very smart. Its just different and there are reasons why many countrys using it.
Tyeler Brown thats not how the SI units where developed. 😂 Look it up. It’s really interesting.
Lol great reply
I really miss these type of videos from you brother I really miss these. These are the videos that made me get a good shop together and make me feel like there’s nothing I can’t fix around my homestead granite I’m a contractor but these videos really brought a sense of piece to me.
I'm an Engineer so I don't mind having metric units on my tools. I use metric units for work all the time.
Matthew Bennett Same, altough I decided to persue another more outdoorsy career a while back. We were told at university that metrics its the global standard for engineers and it seems to hold true so far.
TBH, Im quite surprised not everyone has gone over to the metric from lets say imperial. Metric is easy and convertible, compared to the imperial that I think is alot more complicated for no reason, and doesnt bring any benefits. And whan you start thinking that an inch isnt the same thing all over the world, thats just weird.
Kind of forced too are you I mean your not required to due to the global way things are now a days
Machinshin
It's a funny situation here in the US. We're really a mix of metric and pre-Imperial English units (which is why our pints are smaller). If you go to the grocery store for instance, you'll find liquids generally in liters but weights in ounces. Industry tends towards English units - trucks are limited to 80,000 pounds, for instance - while science uses metric.
Construction is still largely English units, which makes sense as that's what people are used to. The old dogs don't want to change, so the new guys don't learn metric, then they get older, and the cycle repeats. Thus our tools tend to be set up for English units.
In any event, English units are very well sized for woodworking, and we only deal with fractions of powers of two which are easy to learn. There is little need to do any conversion beyond inches->feet and vice-versa (we generally don't use yards in woodworking or construction, just feet, inches, fractions of inches, and thousandths of an inch). Since all the tools and wood use English units, that's what American woodworkers end up using. I _could_ use metric for woodworking, but I don't think in metric so I'd be running conversions in my head the whole time.
Still I don't mind tools with metric marks. Methinks Cody is just being picky.
I hear you =)
But dont you miss usefullness of the simplicity ? 10mm = 1cm, 10 cm = 1 dm, 10 dm = 1m 1000 m = 1 km ( in sweden we also have something called "mil" which is 10 km)
10 ml = 1 cl, 10 cl = 1 dl, 10 dl = 1 L
100 gram = 1 hecto gram, 10 hecto gram = 1 kilo, 1000 kilo = one "metric" tonne.
The simplicity of this makes me lazy maybe ;)
"It's so funny how we are. Anything that's different, our initial reaction often times is to reject it and to not like it"
I wish more people would actively keep this idea in mind.
Like the metric system?
dear mr&mrs wranglerstar, first off, i love all of your vids and they have helped me a lot with loads of things the last 1.5/2 years. i have gotten more into axes, thanks to you i know how to sharpen them better and keep them good. and i started doing a lot of stuff in my own shed, like make a new wood place, restore my old shed and make it into a woodshop/allround shop all thanks to you! the only problem is i dont have much good tools, i have a couple decent saws and some basic stuff but no good chisels, planes, stuff like that.
i am a 18 year old dude from the netherlands and i have learned so much from.your vids. and i would love to have such luck to win this toolbox! it would really complete my woodshop.
thanks again for all the great vids and how much you have helped with not only the things i already said, but also with getting through some rough times in my life. im really greatfull for that.
cheers, Wesley Krol
"Because the metric system is just dumb." - used by the entire world except USA... ok!
hahaha
Got you to comment on it
snwflake used by the only country to send a man to the moon.....
Considering your last presidential candidates, the USA might be the only nation needing another world ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey, now, there are two other countries in the world (out of, what, 270-odd?) that use imperial measurements: Myanmar (aka Burma, ruled by a military junta for most of the last 50 years), and Liberia (a West African nation that has spent most of the last 40 years in and out of civil wars). Although I believe Liberia may have officially adopted the metric system in the last few years... ;-)
Your disapproval of the metric system inclusion always kills me. 😂
I, as a German, don't understand US Americans for their dislike towards the metric System.
Sure, it's French and yeah - French is kinda weird but the whole damn word uses the Metric System, which is simple.
10*1mm = 1cm * 10 = 1dm * 10 = 1m and so on.
1dm^3 is equal to one Liter of Volumne, one Liter Water is basically 1kg Mass etc.
It's so easy.
@@DaroriDerEinzige it is easy but because we learned it different it’s hard to wrap our minds around a different system. I’d have to change everything in my life! All my measuring things in my kitchen are cups and teaspoons and tablespoons etc. it would be like learning a new language.
@@macyflanders9986 Which is pretty standard for every Child in Europe, I mean, learning a new language.
For an example, my Englisch is considered as very bad under my Peers - I mean, I make alot of Grammar Mistakes and sound pretty "german". Nevertheless, it's important to be able to at least understand englisch to some degree and to be also able to express you at least to some degree in it. I mean, how else could I communicate with people from around the globe? Sure, as a German I've the benefit that Englisch comes relativly easy to me - Both are germanic languages, so they are pretty similar.
Anyway, that's the reason why both Scales are appropriate on tools: Sure, I don't know always how I convert some Units, of course I do know that one Inch is around 2,54... cm, but I would've to look up what one Nm (Newtonmeter) would be in Footpounds would be. So I'm pretty glad that on my Torque Ratchet, there are also both Scales directly on it. So whenever I work on an older Harley and use PDFs of US Manuals, I don't have to convert every Unit.
Futhermore, you would also get a natural feelin' for it.
Also measuring cups we've mainly both - Liter and this Oz. Scales.
In Addition to that, in Science, there's only the Metric System in use. So, every Child that want to go to the University and wanna study Physics, Mathematics, Engineering ... etc. has to learn it anyway.
Aaand ... US Americans usin' the Metric System anyway for over a Century know in many aspects: Electronics.
Ampere and Volt are Metric Units.
1A = 1 W/V, and one Watt (W) = 1 kg*m^2/s
While 1 Volt (V) = 1 Nm/A*s = 1 (kg*m^2/s^2)/A*s
So ... Actually, every Multimeter in the USA is anyway metric. You basically learned your new language already.
@@DaroriDerEinzige We do use the metric system a lot in the US for science type fields. I do have trouble using it for building as I think in inches feet etc.
@@bentorres925 And if you use measuring tools on which both systems are present, you will soon think also in metric.
Humans actually don't think in "10 feet" or "11 Meters" or something.
Your brain simple automatically compares it with something you "kinda know" the size.
For an example, if I said "It was around 100 yards away from me", you will compare it inside your brain automatically with the 120 Yards US American ... Football ... Field you know and simple think "Ah, 20 yards shorter". while I will automatically think "Ah, as long as a Football field" (Real Football, you know, with the Goals and the eleven Players on each teams, only 3 Subs and 90 Playtime with only one break)
Some people talk too much and they never say anything. You criticized yourself for talking too much...but the gift is that you actually say something worth hearing when you are talking. Keep making the videos, we will keep listening. Thank you
in the machine shop, we usually call the rule a scale.
I see you don't like the metric system. "It's just dumb" you said.
It is so much easier than Imperial. Say you need the decimal equivilent of some fraction in 64ths. After you've done the same kinds of things for a long time you've probably memorized the fractions you use the most: 1/16 = .0635, 1/32 = .0325, etc.
And then we have 12ths and 16ths. It's kind of ridiculous.
But with metric it's always divided or multiplied by ten. It doesn't get a simpler than that.
The problem I have is that anything you buy nowadays has a mix of metric and Imperial so you always need two sets of tools. Some fasteners will be 3/8" and other will be 10 mm on the same item! That's what's stupid.
Also stupid is that they sell metric plywood in the USA using imperial measurements so the plywood is never the thickness it's claimed to be.
Also stupid is using measurements on wood that is before it was at its final dimension. Sure, I get that everyone knows it but it's still stupid. A 2 x 4 should be 2 x 4, not 1-3/4 x 3-1/2".
I can't knock anyone else's measurement system when ours is completely jacked up.
Fuzzy Johnson it's an ongoing joke FYI
2x4 is actually planed down to 1.5x3.5 not 1.75x3.5
well said
Fuzzy Johnson in here (Argentina) our life is easy because of the centecimal metrical system
Metric is so much better
I really like the "manly manners" tag on your videos. I'm reminded that long ago I realized that when women tell you about a problem they are having, they are not asking you for your idea of a solution, they are asking you to listen and understand their unhappiness.
Greatly needed info thank you sir
Love this comment section. So many people getting upset that Cody made a joke about the metric system.
Your telling me lol, as a Canadian I use both systems. Generally I like different systems for different things. Lady at the DVM asked how tall I was in centimetres and I laughed and said I’m 5’10” you do the math lol
Metric system is dumb... Really?? Really??????
+Duane Braund really
Wranglerstar Imperial is obsolete. That's worse.
i just don't get why would anyone think dividing by 8 or 16 is better than dividing by 10, i remember tho you made a video about metric system while back but i forgot what was the conclusion so no idea if this comment of yours is troll or not :P
The metric system and the Imperial system both have strengths and weaknesses. The metric systems advantage is obvious: it's a base 10 system used with a base 10 numeral system, therefore some of the the math is a little simpler.
But with Imperial, a base 12 system, there are more divisors, it's easier to estimate 1/3 or 1/4.
The actual problem isn't the system of measurement, it's the numeral system.
From my experience, metal workers (where absolute precision is often crucial) prefer metric, or at least decimal inches, while carpenters (where tolerances are greater, often by design) prefer fractional inches.
Dude, imperial isn't base 12 except for whole inches, and that wouldn't be very precise work...
It's powers of 2. Fractions are 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 etc. That's why it sucks, just down to the length of (around) 1mm there are already 5 ways to measure! Also it's much easier to make a mistake calculating differences or fractions compared to mm.
Haven't met a carpenter, joiner or architect here in the UK who doesn't use mm.
This video really helped me a lot! To understand your appreciation for Stanley tools (what I always understood to be the bottom line, based on experience) helped me to realize that when you say something is good, it's probably junk. When you say it is amazing, it is decent, and when you say it is garbage...well...yeah...it should have never been made. I'm a master mechanic. The cheapest tools for practical use are craftsman in my line of work...which carries over to "round-the-house" projects for longevity, durability, and accuracy. So thank you again for showing me your preferable tool line, so I know how many grains of salt to sprinkle on your recommendations.
I was always told not to let the tape snap shut because it’ll stretch the rivets on the end and wind up being inaccurate. I know it’s minute, but what do you think?
i think those squares tapered off in popularity when tool quality plummeted.
I grew up using a "speed square" but my father was a carpenter. I think the Speed Square is not a precise but more durable being one piece
Just found your channel not too long ago on the shorts. I must say I am a HUGE fan of you! Such an all around knowledge of everything! Your explanations are crisp, clear, and such great entertainment that is very easy to retain all the information you’re donating! Thank you and keep it up!
Erwin some, you lose some.
the best comment so far!
groan lol
*Irwin 😂 but that was good
Imperial system is dumb. Say you need to find the gap between two lengths. What's easier, 111mm minus 88mm or 4 3/8 minus 3 15/32?
It’s called a construction calculator
Imperial is best for estimates and rough numbers, metric is good for exact measurements. I just prefer imperial, its all I know, and it doesnt make my work worse than someone who uses metric. You know what annoys me? Every single Wranglerstar video that mentions measurement has to start a war in the comment section.
Patrick Names an extra step that’s memorized because it’s so simple and never changes
You don't use fractions anyways,you convert them to numbers when you add or subtract you're doing things way harder than the need to be
As someone who is new to woodworking this series is good for me because it shows what I should have in my shop and helps me learn how to use them. Thanks again.
Metric is hardly dumb lol. It is just not what youre used to using.
Love the video.
It's a running joke, that's all.
Chris Jones I've heard that's the only thing that runs between Canada and Mexico.
Right :) Its what one is used too Its a language one could say. If one spoke another language would that make them dumb :)
@Chris Jones whats the difference between ten mil & three thirty seconds? Its easier to say ;) :D
klassik68 - perfecting and concisely said - 10 Mil it is
It is just a niche he has to each his own most tools now a days are universal though.
I love your videos Mr W, but I feel sad that you constantly bash the metric system, what does it matter that a tool is multi functional and has both markings on? Will it make your work ant less accurate the fact that the tool you used had metric markings as well as imperial? I know it doesn't make mine any less accurate having imperial on my tape and square.
Oh and as a side note you made me curious, so I thought id find out how many countries are behind the times and still use the outdated imperial system when I came across this, I thought it might make your day.
www.joeydevilla.com/2008/08/13/countries-that-dont-use-the-metric-system/
jay6400 metric’s no fun. It’s too easy and straight forward.
"god grief i have never met someone who has talked as nuch as I do"...😂😂😂
damn i would like to subscribe but I did already
such an hilarious inspiration love it
The moment i heard him trolling the metric system, I scrolled down to watch all the newcomers get triggered.
Relax people... it's an inside joke.
I agree wholeheartedly with him that manufacturers need to stop this "playing both sides" nonsense. Just produce your tools in both systems, if you're an international seller, and keep them separate. It's not efficient and it is distracting at the end.
Would love to see a demo of the hand router. Unless I missed it.
Jim Garlock was thinking the same thing.
Jim Garlock Cody did that a couple of years ago.
+macnuth Rare one that got past me. Time to hit the archives.
I really love woodworking, gives peace, been doing it for about a year, unfortunately, tools are not cheap, nor they shoud be but where I live (Chile) dammn they get expensive when I saw a combinarion square at the home center I really got thinking, the tools that get here are usually not a very good brand and it costed about 16 dollars for a chinese brand! I was just begining and I didn't realise that every penny you spend on measuring tools is totally worth it. man it was a wise desition to buy that, use it every singe time. even gave one as a gift for a friend who is starting in diy stuff because now I think that you just can't do thungs without them. thank you cody you have tought me so much on your videos, just thank you
Not sure if you mentioned it in the comments yet but I believe Stanley Black and Decker just completed the acquisition of Newell brands company, including Irwin and Lenox tool lines. Should be interesting to see how it will affect the product lines.
ace entropy and craftsman !
They also bought craftsman so they can start building tools in the US is what they are telling everyone
Can you find a well made cheep hand drill.
WorldOfTinCars Depends on where you live
(cheap); Sorry, it bugged me! Lol
I am usually watching these You Tube videos on our old-school TV then going on the computer later to like and comment and jot down a few notes. Hope that even if I just log on to make sure you get the credit for the view that it works even if I don't watch the whole video. BTW, I really appreciate that you talk about your faith and other life issues. Breath of fresh air!
metric is dumb? have you ever actually used the system...
Consider yourself trolled
love it hate imparial no logic
Metrics is based on science and logics. For example 1 kilogram = 100mm3 worth of water. 100mm = 10 centimeters = 1 meter.
The imperial system was invented by illiterate savages using body parts and random everyday items as meassurements ;)
But why should we be "exercising our minds" when we only want to measure something? I just dont see how making it harder for no good reason is smart business.
The metric system is hardly "dumb", but it is definitely at a disadvantage when working with common household fractions like 1/3.
Irwin tools are looking pretty good
They do but I prefer not made in china what do I do
Steven Beasley I agree with you 100% I too prefer tools not made in China, but doesn't mean it's junk.
I have four or five combination squares lying around. I just can't resist finding them for 50 cents at estate sales! I have cleaned them all up, got the rust off, oiled them up, and they work great. I have them around my shop in a few locations and also in a couple of toolboxes. But, you are so right--only two have their original scribes, and it's tough to find a replacement.
Why do you think that metric system is dumb? I have to disagree with it. Of couure you can live and do basically enything using any units system you want.
There are many more systems out there. I admit, that using native system where c (speed of light) is equal 1, elementar charge (of one electron) is equal 1 and so on is really impractical unless you ar a physicist. But i see no problem with traditional, european metric system as distances you usually work with is in orders of ones or tens.
And i am not even speaking about its amazing features like simple mutiplication and order prefixes.
I dont think it is dumb. You just aren't used to it.
+Vojta Fišer it is still dumb
Why do you think so? I as a european use metric system units every day and find it pretty smart. Imperial system seems to be confusing. With metric system i can easily derive units of higher/lower orders and i really do not have to remeber any other number than 10.
(for example mm*10 = cm, cm*10 = dm, dm*10 = m, m*1000 = km and so on. With imperial system i would have trouble converting inches to feet or miles.)
Of course it would not be a good idea to immediately switch to a metric system since you are used to imperial system. But I also find scale in inches on tools useful even if i just dont use it, just in case i would have to measure something in inches (like i would be following american intructions for making something).
By the way, thans for the video. I will give a tool of this kind a chance. I have found, that high quality caliper is wonderful tool for measuring with unbeatable precision. Maybe you could have talked about calipers a little more if you use it.
Too hard to figure out?
OK, it looks i have been trolled. You won Wranglerstar. Now i feel dumber than any unit system. Well played
+Vojta Fišer Like you, us Americans are used to our units of measurement, we do not ask you to learn imperial measurements so why should we have to learn metric?
The metric system is not dumb. I"m in Australia and thats what we use. Are we dumb. I still like your channel.
I think he's taking the piss mate and wants to get a kick out of reading the comments. I am!!!
so am I go the metric Aussies
No Australia is not Dumb I love Australia I am in the Navy and always look forward to visiting your country one of the most beautiful in the world. I also enjoy triton tools
Steven Beasley Part of why I joined was to see Australia... unfortunately that ship never sailed. Australians and most countries aren't stupid for using metric, just as you wouldn't be stupid for being left handed, you were born with that unit of measure and have known no other. Change is difficult, even when it's better. Just because something is easier to use (as metric could arguably be) doesn't mean it's better. It's easier to buy food at the store... it is almost never better than home made (unless everyone you know is a terrible cook in which case you should meet new people). Basic math is easier than Calculus, if we never progressed from 2+2=4 then we'd be living in an entirely different place that didn't allow for this kind of communication to exist, among a billion other things.
Our unit of measurement is not that much more difficult to understand, and it's regular use actually has many good side effects. It's use of fractions based around multiples of 16'ths causes you to think differently about fractions and causes you to HAVE to do math on occasion, which is occasionally cumbersome but ultimately a society that is continuing to do math throughout their lives versus a society who can simply allow the math to have already been figured out for all time... which is going to be the better problem solvers?
Example. I know a piece of wood is 14 1/2" wide and I need to rip 12" off. I know the thickness of my blade is 3/16ths, how much wood is left after the cut? After the 12" there would be 2 1/2" inches, but the thickness of the blade is 3/16ths so now have to consider that 1/2" is 8/16ths and less 3 means you have 2 and 5/16ths of wood left. Someone used to the system is going to turn this into an automatic behavior that requires much less effort than it sounds like. Consider that you'll occasionally have to transition from 16ths to 32nds to 64ths to 128ths to 256ths to 512ths (which btw, do these numbers look familiar to you? How big is your computer hard drive? It is almost certainly a factor of 8) and beyond you quickly see that we frequently have to think OUTSIDE the box of 1-10. Whereas you will gladly just change units, everything for us is still scaled at 1 inch, no matter how small we get to avoid those pesky little decimals. It's never 1.6"s much like how you wouldn't use 1.6 centimeters, you'd just say 16mm.
Honestly the hardest part of the imperial system is having to convert to metric, when dealing with the rest of the (backwards) world. If yall would just join the winning team it'd make life a bit easier for everyone.
I do not dispute and I hope it didnt come across that I was saying other wise very true points I agree
My wife and I are in the process of searching for some land to build our homestead. I really appreciate all of your videos. I would imagine this tool kit would be very helpful when it comes time for me to build the kitchen cabinets and drawers. Cheers.
LOL I do all my measuring in Metric because I find it faster and more accurate.
Finally got to the part where he said he doesn't use metric after reading all the comments. He didn't say the metric system was silly, he said putting both imperial and metric on 1 tool is silly. Everyone getting their panties in a bunch for no reason.
"Because the metric system is just... Is just dumb"
my favorite aspect of this tool is just the handling of it. easy and quick to use. especially my favorite part which is the thickness of the head.
It's inarguable: metric is the method, meters is the unit.
The Metric system is a vastly superior system. What could be easier than tenths! I mean, seriously, try to explain 7/64 of an inch to someone. Sadly, we Americans only use the Metric system when we are buying or selling illicit drugs. And even then it is only grams and kilos we are interested in.
Another great video.
Thanks to you and this video, I will be getting the Irwin combination square and the Stanley knife, but I cannot stand thumb-lock measuring tapes, so I'll go with the Stanley lever-lock instead even though it is plastic. I agree that manufacturers (AND RETAILERS) should provide independent imperial and metric tools, so Americans like me, who despise the stupid, illogical, irrelevant and vastly inferior imperial system that blatantly counteracts and defiles our base-ten mathematics standard can buy an all metric tool and FINALLY utilize the other 75% of the tools capabilities. ;-)
Yes, I honestly prefer metric tools.
A couple years ago I was always in the top 100 views now I'm lucky to be less than 1k.
Is Metric is better or Imperial is better? Who cares, if there are two standards learn both and be smarter instead of arguing ffs.
Chance Thomas Best comment in this tread.
David marzolino tread?
I use these all the time for marking and setting pipe at work, I'm a plumber and I use this for flanges and scribing pvc and it's awesome for making cuts plumb when you can't get a pipe wrap around steel
Hahahaha..hit the nail right on the head..the metric system is dumb..how dare they contradict the whole world...I'm gonna go ask my wife how many Stones she weighs..I think she packed on a few in the past few months
Metric is best! ;)
Markus Røthe Bøen mulig vi bare er godt vant!
Hahah sant :D
I would say that aswell BUT im raised with it and im not a woodworker so it may not be the best system
Markus Røthe Bøen imperial makes you really good with fractions though :)
The term "spirit" in reference to alcohol stems from Middle Eastern alchemy. These alchemists were more concerned with medical elixirs than with transmuting lead into gold. The vapor given off and collected during an alchemical process (as with distillation of alcohol) was called a spirit of the original material.
If metric system is dumb, imperial system is completely idiotic, sorry to say that.. :O)
28 minute video and so many of the comments about a metric system comment. LOL. "It's a joke, son"
you probably get this from a lot of people but I truly tank you for these videos, I have had a TH-cam account for a couple of years and I don't normally comment on videos. however with your videos I feel like I can try and test the waters without breaking my account and giving it a try I want a good and health hobby and this looks like so much fun. thank you for the uploads
why is the metric system dumb its the simplest to use for calculations by( kilometers ) imperial is up there with roman numerals ,give me one reason why you want to live in the past and use fractions
Give me one reason to think that schools even teach imperial where it counts. They don't. They go over it, then they move on to metric. Scientists use metric. Don't assume that we all use imperial. We can't un-teach a country, you know.
Ask a machinist.
Metric is so much easier
There's two kinds of countries. Those that use the metric system and those that have put men on the moon!
And who developed the engines you used to do so? The germans, who use the metric system ;)
If you believe we put a man on the moon! I'm sure I'll trigger some Boomers.
Yes Spirits won't freeze, but were primarily used in levels because they are "wetter" than water and will move better and have less bubbling.
Metric is dumb... wow, you just took a nose dive in the respect department. Metric is logical with nothing to remember besides multiple of 10's. Sad.
long-standing joke
Ok, duly noted!! New to the channel. :) And Canadian... so metric comes naturally to me.
i completely disagree, the metric system is totally superior :3
This is the first wood tool i bought myself over 30 years ago. Still have it and use often.
I always seem to push those Western saws too hard into the wood. "Let the saw do the work!" Yeah dad I know but when I push, I drive the teeth into the wood instead of just moving the blade in and out. It feels awkward! That's why I haven't even bought a saw for myself.
So! I'm not a woodworker, but yet I took your advice for buying my first own saw!
I have been seeing the Ryobe saws in many other woodworking channels and it really grabbed my attention every time.
And, since it is available in my country; I ordered the exact same one you selected for the Common Mans Toolkit.
The theory behind it just seems a better fit for me; pulling instead of pushing. We'll see!
I'd also like to take the time to thank you for the great video content you produce.
I love how you put effort into explaining things and enlightening your own views to tools and ways to do certain tasks. Thank you!
The combination square is a necessity for "steel fabrication" work. The scribe tool can scratch highly visible lines in "mill scale" that pencils, pens and "Sharpies" cannot equal.
You can also use a combination square to set the cutting depth on a circular saw (skil saw) with a high degree of accuracy. I use my combination square almost as much as I use my "multi-meter". Both are indespensible!!
I love your tool series the 50 tools everyone should own, these wood working ones, and the few surviving an economic collapse I’ve seen.... could you maybe do a similar package for basic metal working, electrician, and plumbing as well? Just an idea I know I’d love to watch them. Thanks for all you do
Thank you for explaining how to use this tool. I inherited an oldie from my Dad, kept it because I've kept all his old tools. As a 60+ female, I'm a little late starting to set up a workshop and really appreciate your videos.
Folding measuring tape: " It's there and I think I'm gonna use it but I never do" Couldn't stop laughing... same here
Half of these comments "OMG DID YOU SAY THE METRIC SYSTEM IS DUMB WELL UR DUMB" lmao
I can listen to you for hours.... in fact I've spent 8 hours so far watching your videos tonight!
Fess up Mr. Wrangler! Your off the cuff statement that the metric system is "just dumb" was actually comment bait. And it worked! Hats off to you.
Specifically when looking at this Irwin combo square I like that it's 3/4 imperial and 1/4 metric. I think that's a good balance for a Canadian and probably for Americans too. We officially use the metric system in Canada because it is better, but because we are in North America (aka the greater United States) we often end up using imperial. I usually use Imperial due to it inertia but it's always handy to have metric available when measuring stuff. Ideally one would like to have one tool that is metric and one that is Imperial, but the 3/4 1/4 mix makes sense to me.
A non-garbage tool for $13... That is pretty impressive, also as a buyer of used combination squares I have never in my life actually owned one with a scribe; a man can dream though, a man can dream... Had to struggle not to covet that big jointer plane, damn that is a nice tool. Great tool wall too, quite well organized.
Literally transitioning into building guitars from scratch. No room for
power tools as I work out of my loft. Almost every item on this series
is on my list. Such a coincidence and, rest assured, I will put them
to honest, good work...pick me!
Just can't beat a combo square. Useful for metal work and wood work.
I appreciate your honesty regarding tools, tips, and techniques.
I have always loved Stanley, but that Irwin combination square looks even better.
Starrett 4 life. Worth every cent if you're serious about woodworking.
I never realized how versatile a combination square is, thanks Cody!
Everyday my dad and I use a combination square. He is a professional rail installer and we use them for marking treads, rails to drill, baulisters, on and on, without that tool it would make life a living hell trying to do all that with just a tape and ruler, very very useful tool and a very overlooked tool as well.
So glad to see this series continued!
i have and use two speed square's and never knew they had a scribe built in to them. you taught me something. thank you sir.
I inherited a combination square from my grandfather, but never realized that there was a scriber included. It was seized in place but with a little oil, it came free. Good tip about making sure it is square too.
I love my combination square. I inherited mine from my grandfather. Great tools.
I sure do like that combination square. It is nice and sturdy, at least it looks lit it could last, and that scribe is pretty cool!
Very nice comparison, I too like the finer details that Irwin is providing and they are noticed by the end users.
When you use your square for scribing , have the square the other way around so you pencil sits in the groove , that way your pencil won't slip. Hope this helps you .keep up the good work. G
Wranglerstar, I was just looking at these about 2 weeks ago. Glad you recommended the Irwin.
I really appreciate the work that you do wranglerstar and the content you produce. I can't wait to show off the common man's tool grip when I win it!
I always like a tool that has some heft in it, it just feel better in the hand, and you feel better using it. I don't mind it having metric markings, both systems have their place. I like how quickly you can scale the metric system in your head. Anyway, I'm going to continue to favor Stanley, but you've convinced me to give Irwin another chance.
I don't think I've ever seen a combination square before, but it seems like it's the multitool of the carpentry world lol. Great video, as always :)
Nice, love the common mans tool kit thing. Looking forward to it every day. I did know the trick about looking if your square is square, but I didn't know how to correct it if it isn't square. Thanks for the tip.
I just found your channel and I am impressed. I must say that the quality of your homemade tool storage is enviable. I love how everything is removable and slides left and right. I am in the process of getting land to start work on a timber frame home and when I build my woodworking shop I am going to incorporate your tool storage design into my shop. Keep making the amazing videos.
Dear Mr wranglestar! This tool series is wonderful! it has treagered my old interest in woodworking! even though I live in the city in an apartment, I have been trying to create small woodworking projects! keep up the good work and thank you!
Very impressed. I have an old Stanley that was my dad's, but it is all rusted. For the 12 dollar price, I don't think one could go wrong.
I have a combination square that is speckled in weld spatter since it never leaves the welding table. For any wood framing i use a speed square. I helped a friend build his own house and the first day I showed up without a square so by the end of that day I was standing in fleet farm looking at speed squares by my buddys recommendation!
No doubt the combination square is one of the more useful tools in the wood shop. I am wondering, regarding the scribe knives, is there a distinct advantange between using one of those as opposed to say your standard utility knife? Is it just the thickness of the blade that is the difference or is there more to it? The same could apply to X-acto knives, is there an advantage with the scribe knife?
I grew up during the transition from standard to metric in Canada and metric has some advantages. Working underneath a car and you have to ask your girlfriend for a 9/16 socket....you wait and wait for her to go thru your sockets til she finds it (by sure luck). Metric all she has to do is follow the numbers. Temperature 0 is freezing...boiling is 100 simple!
Don't have a combination square in my tool collection so this gives me great info before making my purchase...Thanks again for the great videos.
Alochol is in levels because the surface tension is lower, meaning your bubble will more freely move and is more accurate than water.
I use a combination square all of the time doing inspections. Awesome tool!
That's a great tip! all the time I find super cheap combination squares at garage sales and flea markets, but they're so out of square! Someone could probably make some good money by buying those bad ones and reselling them square. Thanks Cody, how many more tools are there gonna be?
One of the first tools I ever bought for myself. I was 21 and started work in a foundry pattern shop and my dad and I went to the local Sears and bought one like this. Still have this tool and still work in a foundry 39 years later. Great series
A combination steel is one of the most useful tools you could use, I have an old one from my grandfather and I use it on almost every project, that and a caliper
I have had a cheap combination square for 30 years and it is one of my most used tools. Even though the Irwin is not expensive, it looks to be higher quality than mine and should last a lifetime if taken care of.
Cody I seemed to have missed this video... If you look at where the blade rides in the Irwin and the Stanley you see they differ a lot. The Stanley has two nubs that the blade rides on at each end of the of the opening for the blade. The Irwin has a raised machined surface that the center of the blade rides on that runs from side to side.
I checked three Stanley's and eight Irwin's at the store for being square with a drafting triangle. None of the Stanley's I tested were square. All of the Irwin's I tested were square I tested their 6 inch, the 12 inch and 16 inch. All of them I would trust doing layout for mounting plates that had to be exact.
