Watching that bolt on the alternator assembly backing out while the engine runs.... 😱
Ok, I wasn't imagining it at @11:42 or so.
@@kill-nine Also, I think it can be seen again at 36:34 too! th-cam.com/video/qk8t__6k1D4/w-d-xo.html
That was stressing me out!
Yeh lets hope they see this 🤣
that got my heart racing, do hope they see it 😧
So epic. Well done fellas all the way from down under!
Thanks boys. Much love from here in Blighty.
@@BadObsessionMotorsport This is a collab I dream to watch! =)
@@L3aRn2Th1nK they said they wanted one years ago, but it's a bit difficult with all the continents and all. New Pangaea just can't come quickly enough!
@@L3aRn2Th1nK How about putting an RX7 gearbox in a Mini? . . . . Too soon?
there are other channels out there, were the box of shame would be the contend of 3 successful episodes, love the guys
Last year I was diagnosed with cancer…I’ve been watching Binky since the very beginning….and the ONLY thing that really upset me was thinking I’d never get to see Binky finished…actually made my 48 year old self cry…after treatment earlier this year (2.5 weeks of radio therapy every day) thankfully I’m cancer free at the moment…anyway…great content guys,much love and I cannot wait to see it truly finished now ❤️❤️ Merry Christmas everyone
Keep fighting it buddy!
@@Stu_2112 thanks Stu,I will 🙂 have a great Christmas bud
You got this bro!
@@The1NdNly thx man ❤️
Merry Xmas to you too and more to come for you!
"We are only 18 months behind where we wanted to be 3 years ago." Truer words have never been spoken.
Best quote!
Yep, slowly but surely it's come a long way since I saw it at Goodwood FOS in 2016
At least not since the last development report from the Crossrail project.
Been waiting 6 months sometimes for an upload from them. I wonder what they do for a living during regular days.
This series has motivated me to have kids so that my offspring might one day witness the completion of this vehicle after I die 60 years from now.
😂😂😂😂😂
❤️ Binky Lovers Unite! ❤️
Yes. Are we getting a new video for you, too? lol
Yes, we are many and patient :)
❤
And do what? Take lessions in waiting?
Holy... If someone ever asks why Binky episodes take so long, "the box of shame" is the perfect visual representation.
Insane job, lads.
Who knows, maybe they will get the funk out and time lapse of all the non working revisions as bonus content after Binky is complete.
@@allothernamesbutthis It is complete, the videos are behind.
@@MegaDirtyberty Or not. As noted by BOM themselves on Twitter just a couple of days ago:
"Amongst the doom and gloom of the relentless news cycle, there will always be Binky. Mainly because we just can't seem to finish the damn thing. "
@@MegaDirtyberty Waaay behind.
The box of shame nearly made me spit out my whiskey. That was piss funny.
I think the most impressive thing out of this whole project is that they have managed to remain friends and not kill each other.
i think they got over that after being driver and co driver in races
@@Leon300idas good point
🤣🤣🤣🤣
They just make brackets and tea when they get upset
you might be thinking they have 2020 COVID brain but nah
This is maybe the most comprehensive guide to solving incredibly silly self-induced problems ever on youtube.
Well done Gents! I remain gobsmacked at your ability not to kill each other and actually solve said problems.
I'm rooting for a release of episode 38 one year after this! Let's go!
Well, it's been a year, and... no. Not quite.
@@TheVeyron623 its been that long i practically forgot about this, Only happened to be unsubscribing to a couple of channels, and i came across their channel, i was bloody hell, its been a very long time since i saw, another video on the car, and nothing on the Escart project. Do have the Bell icon enabled too, so i am thinking that the two projects have been mothballed for some reason.
@@procta2343 I don't know exactly what's going on with Escargot, might be that they're waiting on parts, maybe just focusing on finishing Binky off before anything else.
With Binky, however, they tried 3D printing their own circuit board for the instrument cluster. This is what's been taking so long, and it's _still_ not done, in that they've decided to put that aside and put the focus of the next episode, whenever that is, on something entirely different, just to get _something_ out.
That flexible drive is undoubtedly one of the most glorious 'DIY' solutions to a problem I've ever had the privilege to witness.
Honestly, the helicopter part you put in broke and the best solution you came up with was.... hand crafting an improved version? FOR A MINI!!?? Your next project better not be making a whole helicopter because, say, you need something to move the mini around. I'm so in awe of this massive display of overengineering.
@@flamewiseify they already have another video series on making a car transporter for the mini
@@landrover791 But now they're adding a rotor assembly to the roof.
I like how they found out that a $500 part is basically the same as a weed eater drive.
There are no words 😶
I was going to say that poor Nik's aged almost ten years in the making of this, but then I checked when the first episode was posted again. Mm yeah, do carry on chaps, fantastic work.
Rex Hamilton's been dead for 35 years!
Yeah we all aged ten years
@@malcolmjcullen He's there in 'spirit'!
I for one enjoy getting old with all of you, as we watch something old become new.
I watched a couple of the first episodes a few months ago… they looked like babies back then!! 🤣🤣
Excellent use of Cardboard Aided Design!
At least your Jag is "driving"
I think Matt follows me around to every channel.
Watched this in my SuperFastMatt algorithm Tshirt while sipping tea from my BOM motorsport mug .
Could help with your projects too 😘
SuperfastMatt AND MCM replied on the same video? I'm definitely in the right place!
I think your average engine swap guru can't appreciate the level of skill, planning and complexity of squeezing a gt4 Celica into a mini. You blokes are a amazing car builders.
The engineering skills you guys have is just phenomenal, not just coming up with the solutions, but actually the depth of understanding you have of the issues is a pleasure to watch.
It's the brackets for me
Very well said, Richard.
@11:43 bolt spinning!
Totally fascinated by the flexible drive. But I hope you saw the bolt getting lose at 11:39 in the video. 😃 Can’t express enough how much I admire your work and how much I love the progress. It’s the mother of all ‘engine swaps’.
11:41 even :P
I don't know what you'revon about, that's a self adjusting bolt 😄
Starter alternator would be 100 times simpler
@@tesicnr do you mean those giant things that hybrids use and funny voltages?
If so it won't work or fit.
I was about to mention the same thing, I was hoping this have been noticed
The one TH-cam series that I will wait until my kids are asleep and watch it fully with all my attention. Noting that I didn't have any kids when I first started to watch it!!
Husband: "I'm gonna go watch project Binky."
Good wife: "Would you like a sandwich?"
They'll probably have driving licenses and Minis of their own by the time the last video comes out! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m in the exact same situation. I started watching Binky alone in my apartment. Now I wait until kids and wife are in bed. Then I watch it twice.
And 12 hours later the kids are finally in bed so I can return to my normal programming!
TV/cable network shows could never offer this. Too much quality and too much actual substance. Superb work. I hope the car will deliver the grins to match the effort.
Them's the _brakes_ might be the best one liner of Project Binky.
Bravo sir.
The engineering in this build and the comedy are absolutely brilliant.
One of the best if not “the best” builds on TH-cam.
The best!!
@@johndavies2396 As good or GOODER than a fact-tree build! Bracket man! You 2 will beat the crap out of that car. Just make all mounts solid. Done.
11:43 shows the alternator bracket wasn't tightened completely, you can see the bolt turning from vibration . Apart from that another brilliant video, good on you boys!
Yeah, came for this here :D Specially when it is the flexible shaft, so... well it flexes.
Hopefully they see this
Same here, hopefully have been tightened up
Yep.. I spotted it too... I was quietly chuckling to myself with anxiety... they've got to of noticed it! It was center of the shot almost... im sure at one point it glistened in the light too.. 😄 haha
I thought I saw it, came back to check and you've beaten me too it.
This has to be the most carefully assembled automobile in the entire history of the planet. Awesome! 🤩👍
superb music as always !
That Clutch ratio-modding, convoluted masterpiece of bracketry quite literally blew. my. mind!
Bracketry!!!! Nice.
11:42 Bracket support bold is rapidly spinning off! Amazing work guys! You're commitment on this project is EPIC!!
Noticed this straight away
Some absolutely brilliant problem solving there with the clutch and flex drive cables. Fantastically thought out and executed. I feel sad Binky is so close to the finish line.
Thanks Jeff!
@@BadObsessionMotorsport I'm quite happy you still have Escargot to finish so I can watch from my retirement home. But I'm 44 so you best crack on.
También había un tornillo flojo..se aprecia en el video
I think I have a vague idea of what's going on there, but it's very vague. I wish someone qualified would explain the clutch linkage to us! Maybe Howie.
@@SianaGearz Magic is what it is!
OMG! Moving bolt at 11:47! You forgot to tighten that! Tighten that!

19:15 "we need a proper bracket...."
everyone watching: "WOOOOOO LETS GOOOO BRACKET TIME!!!!"
Also, there's been a very rare amount of instances where a youtube video left me mind blown, but that pedal creation made me audibly say "holy shit" lol
I cannot repeat the words that sprang to mind when the finished clutch pedal solution was revealed, but suffice it to say I am impressed. It is a thing of beauty.
It deserves a place in the Museum of Modern Art, Spectacular!
I laughed out loud so much my other half told me I was disrupting her evening...
That final line rings a bell for all project car builders everywhere!

I thought that was a briliant comment
So I second this comment to
👍👍👍😜🏴🦕🦄😁🤞✌
It's a 45 minute Christmas miracle! That's nearly 60 minutes! Well done and happy holidays!
That broken flexi needs hitting in the face with a toaster though!
45 minutes is one brew short of an hour.
Amazing episode gents, makes my day every time! btw anyone else notice the through bolt loosening itself at 11:42 on the flexi drive output mechanism?
I was rewatching one of the early episodes and burst out laughing when Nick said "this shed is going to be our home for the next few months." 😂 Love this show. Will be very sad if it finally and inevitably comes to an end.
There optimism in the beginning was hilarious when you know what actually happens 😂😂
I said to my small son when the first Project Binky episode aired, "One day you'll be old enough to drive one like this". He's just passed his test and Binky is still on wheel stands....for now. Excellent series, attention to detail second to none and engineering solutions to problems of your own making world class. 👏👏👏
Hahaha problems of your own making 😁
Well I think that clutch pedal trial and error as well as the flexishaft explain the 4 month gap. Well worth the wait as always!
I have a McLaren in need of some brackets.
😁
More like a Lotus that you've given up on🤨😒🙄☹
@@guymorris7860 And a burnt Ferrari.
Today I realized that I've been watching Project Binky long enough to start and finish my engineering degree and work three years after that. Love it!
Before this project is finished, you'll have added retirement to the list.
that feeling when you check on the channel and the last update was 9 months ago. : (
The clutch linkage solution is insane. how much did this change the original ratio? Incredible work guys.
Looks like the rear suspension linkage on a motorbike.
@@craigdavies8099 Monoshock linkage was the very first thing I thought when I saw it. Amazing that Nick managed to fit it in the space available.
Roughly 3.3:1
@@craigdavies8099 I was thinking it looked like bolt cutters.
Helper spring would allow some reduction of force needed but would have kept the biting point where it was. And no I'm not suggesting that it would have been better option just simpler (probably).
Just genius. Watching Binky has inspired me to get braver about the parts of my build that I attempt myself. The most important part of that has been the willingness to try and fail, over and over, and to look on that as a learning experience and a chance to make the car work better. Your honesty about the million small failures that have made Binky such a triumph says so much about you both and, I suspect, has a lot to do with the ferocious, lunatic loyalty of your audience. Thank You.
Anyone (with the wallet for it) can raid a performance parts catalogue. It takes some hair on your chest to throw 40 hours of prototype straight in the art bin. It also takes a special (but adorable) kind of idiotic optimism to tell yourself that the next prototype will fix the last problem... and not just uncover a new one :P
That clutch assembly is a feat of engineering that matches the car, Binky wouldn’t have it any other way.
The New Mechanism needs a Howie didit Ep of its own
How does it change the mech advantage from the initial solution?
@@Aheitchoo my guess is it is changing the leverage on the pedal through some complicated mechanism needed due to the space constraints.
@@Aheitchoo leverage.
When i saw the linkage set up, i immediately thought of Honda's pro-link set up on just about every rear shock/suspension linkage of motorbikes in the last 30 years.
Missed you guys so much 💯👌🤙💜❤🧡💚💙
I can’t believe it’s been a year since the last episode, you can only rewatch the series so many times before you need a new episode. I’m going into DT’s!
Man hours alone on this project nets more than a super car. This car belongs on show as art… after a quick hoon of course.
Sending a big salute for that clutch linkage solution. That’s some clever engineering there.
Do you understand it? We're struggling. Is it a progressive linkage?
In essence, it provides two levers instead of one... and manages to pack it into a very limited space. Cool!
Watching that bolt back itself out at 11:45 was unnerving!
Yeah I saw that and was going to write about it but you have made a note which I hope they looked into.
The thirst for a new video has made me rewatch the entire series for the 10th time. Wish you guys the best, hopefully it's going okay on your side of the pond!
just re-watched the entire series over the last 3 days, cant wait for the next installment of Project Binky
it'll never happen! :)
@@funkytransport it will and it'll be awesome, and knowing Nik there'll be a bracket for a bracket needed somewhere
At 11:43 you can see the alternator’s flex shaft adapter vibrating loose.
Was hoping this was spotted by someone!
That reimagined flexi drive is the most genius thing on the car, and that is really saying something. And almost all off the shelf stuff.. amazing
I have a huge concern about it overheating...
@@PiffleMasterYT There is still room for a flexi drive water to air cooling solution. I saw at least 10 cubic centimetres of space in the vicinity...
To be fair, these guys do have significantly more useful stuff available 'off the shelf' than pretty much anyone who's watching...
@@sadie376 True, but it's just braided line, AN line, and a husqvarna cable drive so fairly run of the mill stuff available for a few tenners on ebay!
@@timocallaghan4408 I don't have any of that on my shelf tho'... Plenty of bolts & bits to make brackets out of, probably more than most people do.
Even if I did have that stuff around, I don't have a workshop (or the skills, LOL) to make something like that up...
If Nik doesn't have several doctorates in engineering, he should.
Yeah - I reckon his nearest local university should probably make him an honorary doctor of automotive engineering or something.
He has come up with some clever stuff over the last 8 years on Binky!
He has a doctorate in stubbornness! :-)
@@zoidberg444 With a 1st Class Major in Brackets
I feel an honorary Doctorate would be warranted, with a High Distinction in Bracketry and Gussetry.
Those who can't do, teach!
holy shit that is probably the most beautiful wheel i've seen
I feel sorry for the 3778 people who still pay to watch this channel. If all their patrons chose their lowest fee of £2 that means on top of any TH-cam Revenue, they are getting a min £7500+ (minus patron fees) a month... they haven't made any what I would call actual content (you cant call apology videos or whatver content) for a year that means they have made at least £80-£100k from their patrons alone... its disgusting... absolutely disgusting.. they clearly dont give a toss about their viewers they are just sitting around seeing how long they can continue to get away with ripping off their loyal fans... you wouldnt pay for a Streaming service if they didnt update their content would you. This is simply disgusting..
Buddy you need to take on a project like theirs and see just how fucking hard it is. For all we know life got in the way, too. Its out of their control I bet. I'm sure they'll be back and post an awesome final episode in time.
@@marco7563 lol you have no idea, I just chose not to make promises I can't keep and not rip people off for over a year.
@@rich1085 What promise did they break tho?
@@marco7563 when they started Patreon they assured us, on screen, that it would actually come with more regular content rather than less.
The opposite immediately happened and had steadily got worse since then in terms of content output.
Their Patreon is a content subscription, not a project timeline promise. I've got no problems with their intentions going into this but they've got the wrong end of the stick on how to treat their paying fans like myself now that Binky has hit a snag.
They should be coming up with ways to invest some of the Patreon money into creating more content. Instead it really does seem like they'll just end up waiting out the click on their dwindling Patreon base.
Omgomgomg a new episode of Binky?! I can‘t believe my eyes! Christmas seriously came early this year!
That's what a certain Mr Bond predicted years ago!
These rims look absolutely incredible
Speaking as an ex mechanic/fabricator/welder, (worked on Alfasuds so loads of experience), it never ceases to amaze me at the level of problem solving and workmanship you guys display. The clutch solution was absolute genius. I wish you both well and look forward to a video of you driving it properly.
Only became aware of Project Binky a few days ago, so I have binge watched the lot in rapid succession. Pure genius! Entertaining, informative, just the right amount of science, and some outstandingly brilliant fabrication work! Plus plenty of tea, the perfect lubricant for the mind. Chapeau!!!
Ive watched them 3 times over so far. I consider it to be in my normal rotation of TV shows i normally rewatch.
As Ted Knight said near the end of "Caddyshack": WELL???? We're Waiting!!
The level of fabrication and engineering prowess that the two of you so nonchalantly portray is astounding. Absolutely brilliant
"Only 18 months behind where we wanted to be 3 years ago".
Yep, that's Binky in a nutshell. Makes for a great YT series anyway :-D
such an awesome quote
At this point, you wonder if they are milking it a bit, til you see "the box of shame"
this will end up young and bold levels of long.
Considering how many shoehorns that are required to get it all in, I suspect it'll be an engine out job just to change a wiper blade. Unbelievable doesn't come close.
Are you going to make any more episodes?
My God, those wheels are gorgeous! Nicely done, the problem solving in this episode was brilliant
I'd hate to think how much they cost- the front brakes alone are over 1000 GBP.
Also, that clutch mechanism is a thing of beauty
I can't even begin to express the amount of respect I have for you guys. You could've sold out a long time ago and gone for a regular upload schedule and a steady viewership. But instead you've stuck to your guns and stayed true to your no-compromise insistence on over complicating things instead of going for the boring old "perfectly adequate" solution. Don't ever change. I've been here for, what, 8 years now? AND I'M NOT GOING AWAY! (Even if you ask me nicely!)
I was just thinking, all I want for Christmas is a new Binky episode. Christmas came early!
The machining of tooling and fabrication of the replacement flex-drive is worthy of a video of its own.
I CANNOT believe that I've been following this build for 9 years. When this started, I was a snot nosed kid in secondary school (high school). I'm a grown ass man with a wife and kid now.
"The new flexi auxiliary drive has got a fifty/fifty chance of survival, but there's only a ten percent chance of that"
Times suck badly right now for me and many others but your upload on what is arguably the most loved and talked about project car of the last decade made my night and no doubt countless others!
Roll on 2022 for Nik, Richard and Binky!
I let out an audible groan when you showed the calipers. Also, the car on the cover of the PPC magazine Richard is holding at the end of each episode since ep 10 belongs (or belonged) to Force Racing, it’s quite fitting that you used them for the wheels et al.
Impressive noticing that.
“We’re only 18 months behind where we wanted to be 3 years ago”….. Binky in a nutshell lol…. Still well worth the wait.
i hope they never finish it. then what will i watch years to come =O?
And always will be!
Takes the time to get the correct color positive battery/charge cables... Proceeds to cover it up in BLACK convalude so it looks like an earth wire.
Complete the interior and show us the shakedown and time trials
This is a thought I thought I'd never ever think: "WOW that's a sexy clutch pedal right there!". But at 32:25 in this video I did... So well done guys.👍
"Lever-and-linkage porn" is another word I never imagined I'd have to invent to describe my feelings! :P
How does it even work and why is this helpful rather than... some sort of middle hole in the existing arrangement that they tried earlier and found unusable?
@@SianaGearz It's a truly ingenious way to increase the travel of the linkage going in to the clutch cylinder without increasing the angle of that linkage so much that it starts to bind up, whilst at the same time not requiring any more travel of the pedal as there is no room to do so, and in addition increasing the force multiplying effect of that short pedal travel so that the amount of pressure needed on it to actuate the clutch stays within a usable range for the driver. All this was achieved by using a very clever double lever action that was made so compact that it still could mount in the same position in the pedal assembly. As previously stated, a truly ingenious piece of kit (especially since it was engineered by two complete spanners in the middle of Shropshire😉)...
@@akersjon278 I still don't understand it. If you must achieve some particular force at the end of the travel going into the cylinder, then the force required at the pedal should depend purely on the amount of pedal travel, no? Like you need 2000N, your piston travel overall is let's say 10mm, and your pedal travel is let's say 100mm, you're always going to apply 200N at the end of the travel on the pedal. Your minimum piston travel that you need to achieve is fixed. Your maximum pedal travel that you have room for in the vehicle is as well. The piston force that you need to be able to apply at the end of the travel is fixed as well.
That is if the linkage is linear.
But i can't decide whether it is or isn't linear, i can't really see where much nonlinearity would come from. A nonlinear linkage appears to be of advantage, since at first the clutch spring offers relatively little pushback, but more so as you push the cylinder further in. So you could have a different pedal ratio that at first provides a lot of piston movement for little pedal movement for little mechanical advantage, and then at the end of the travel little piston movement for a larger pedal movement a lot of mechanical advantage, which would allow you long piston travel and redistribute the force that you need to keep applying.
@@SianaGearz Well now, this escalated fast. The two lever actions that are now in place between the pedal and the linkage going in to the cylinder increases both linkage travel and force without requiring any more travel length of the actual pedal. I'm pretty sure this is not linear force though as levers require more pressure at the beginning of their travel then they do at the end, so you get more force for the same amount of pedal pressure near the end of its travel. I'm not (as is clearly evident by my posting here) a mechanical engineer, but I think that is how it works... And now I need to take an Aspirin.
If any actual engineers read this, please feel free to jump in and tell me if I'm right or not... (but be nice about it, would you please...)😁
11:43 I'm watching a Bolt back itself out.
Do you see this?
Top Middle of the screen!
Anyone else seeing this?
I'm hoping that they found this.
I'm so excited to see Binky again!! Seeing it start was Emotional for some of us who have been in n here since the beginning 👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸
First thing I seen when they cut to this clip.
It was on the alternator coupling, which they then completely reengineered due to another problem fucking them.
So, I guess it's fine now. I hope.
@@enlightendbel Me too 👍🏼
Most impressed with all of Rex’s off camera work.
is there going to be an Episode 38??
Lads I am not going to request you to produce another video soon. You do it for "free", hence you are free to do it whenever the heck you please. In fact you might consider including in your next footage a minute to explain that you actually have a non-binky job and perhaps even some sort of personal life to attend to. It would make people appreciate even more what you are doing.
“Only 18 months behind where you wanted to be 3 years ago.”
Wow. That’s better than I thought.
"18 months behind of where we wanted to be three years ago"
Knocked the wind out of me... this was quite literally, painfully funny.
(because it is probably true)
Never ceases to amaze me that, whatever engine you stick in a mini, it still sounds like a mini.
This has to be the greatest automotive engineering project out there right now! Watching since the beginning has been amazing!
Along with Retropower.
I saw Binky in a video of the rally. So, like a fool, I leapt to the conclusion, "It's done!" But No! An incredible heart felt Thank You to Nik and Richard. The shear genius of the concept, and of ultra-genius of the execution is a testament to how humanity got to the level of technology we are at now. I watch this and keep thinking "this is the people who had the culture that led them to invent the Industrial Revolution." Obviously Nik and Richard think this is just a lark, that they do in their spare time; a way to challenge themselves. But it displays the depth of industrialization existent in England today, and how the English culture produced so much of the knowledge that underlies our scientific and industrial world.
As frustrating as the re-engineering to the clutch and flex cable must have been, they're brilliant bits of work. 👍
This must be the longest project thats active on TH-cam. But also one of the best British humour
Re-doing that flexi linkage with just stuff you had was amazing and just goes to show what can be done when you're up against it. Great work.
That clutch pedal mechanism is a thing of beauty. Reminds me of a motocross bikes rear suspension. Can't imagine having come up with such a complicated compact and elegant solution.
Your exellent problem solving skills are making me lightheaded.
“Well, we’ve sorted our most pressing issue…”. (Referring to the clutch pedal effort)
Me: grinning ear to ear at the subtle genius of it all. PUNishment😉😂🙄
th-cam.com/video/_BTbpfCefig/w-d-xo.html
Well, they are British....
This thing is so unbelievably beautiful. I hope my grandchildren truly appreciate it when it’s finished. ✌️
You guys should be knighted when Binky is finished! Marvelous job 👌👍👍
Regarding clutch effort, another solution is to use a twin-disc clutch setup to halve the pedal effort, it works a treat.
I can not fully explain the pleasure and pain this channel elicits in me. 😂 I actually had a project like this (not as well done, but then again I had mine running and driving throughout the 15 year process) and your exploits show me how a totally OCD engineer of the highest calibre would handle the situation. I am very impressed and throw much respect your way. Good luck. Don't wreck it the first month you have it driving, please.
The amount of attention to detail in this build means it's going to last forever. Please don't crash binky.
best series on youtube, just wish you guys had the time / budget to do it a bit quicker, i feel like I've been watching this for 8 years... oh wait.
but seriously never change you guys are awesome.
That clutch pedal assembly is something else. Nice work!
Yes, it will not be long and we will see that apparatus on factory made cars and trucks.
Much like my mechanic: He takes two steps forward, two steps back, spins round and round, takes a nap, and then takes one step forward. Wash, rinse, repeat, while reminding me that he is MOST DEFINITELY making progress. And he certainly is, mind you, but it's much better if I'm not around to watch. I simply accept that the job will be done, it will work splendidly, and it's best if I don't know how the sausage gets made.
6:09 ring spanners with ratchet built in. possibly the greatest upgrade to spanners in the last 100 years .
