Finding guidance in life isn’t solely attached to DNA. Cody and many others are blessed to be looked upon as surrogate fathers. Stay strong and embrace your purpose.
A tap and die set like this is a perfect example of when to use my philosophy of "buy twice, cry once." The first time you need a tool, especially if it's a kit of stuff or something that can run into the hundreds of dollars real fast, buy the cheap one from Harbor Freight or some other hunk of Chinesium. Like Menards Masterforce and Performax brands. Then, when it breaks (not if, when) you've proven that you use it enough to buy the good stuff. This is really nice for stuff like taps and bits, too, because you can pay $10 or more for a single good tap or twist drill. Buying a whole number/letter/fractional set of drill bits at $10 a pop will put a real crimp in your wallet, and you're never going to use 95% of them anyway. Buy the cheap kit, then when you break a piece, backfill only the pieces you've worn out with the good stuff.
Agree. I have a HF tap/die kit that I’ve used often and not had problems. When I find a size I need or break something I buy a nice version of it and fill in my collection. Spending the extra 5 minutes to learn how to do something is worth it’s weight in gold too.
I’m 37 and haven’t even heard of a tap and die. Dad suffered from mental illness so didn’t learn anything I’ve just learned as I’ve gone. Became a stepfather to 3 boys 5 years ago and am making sure they know all the basics going into the real world and videos like this help me a ton in rounding off my skill sets.
"M stands for metric which is European for manure". LOL Who's a bit salty then? I work with both imperial and metric and give me metric any day. The US and Burundi can keep imperial.
Regarding the last part, we are all better off living in a country full of men that can do these things so we should teach and encourage any that want to learn. We can be as self sufficient as possible and also share common values and work together to secure our individual freedoms.
I’m so on the fence about unsubscribing from your channel with all the dooms day garbage you’ve been putting out the last year. I come to TH-cam to try and escape from it and learn new skills and find useful entertainment. I’ve been subscribed for several years to your channel. If your content would go back to being more like this I would have no thoughts of unsubscribing. It’s your channel, run it how you see fit but I might have to split.
Make sure to cut a bit off the end of the threads as well. Once you cut threads higher up on the grip, the threaded end will penetrate the hole farther and possibly bottom out in the hole before the head reaches proper torque and blow out the bottom of the hole, cracking your mount beyond repair.
Excellent point. Something else that can help is to run a nut up the bolt before cutting the end off. This way when you unscrew it, it will chase, or clean any burrs off the bolt caused by cutting. You can also use the tap itself for this purpose if you don't have a nut of the right size. I've lost count of how many bolts I've cut where this has saved me time and aggravation.
@@kj3n569 I just always use the die for that. You’ve already spun it onto the bolt, so why not. Also take a file and chamfer the cut off end 1/16” or so. Makes for easier starting the screw in a hole.
Hold on..... A sensible informative Wranglerstar video like the ones he used to make? All the weird seemingly drunk bare foot doomsday ranting and raving had really turned me away from this channel but that was awesome feels like I'm watching a video of his from 2015.
I've learned the hard way that "putting the Swede" on anything but hardened steel fasteners is an excellent way to get some extra practice with my tap and die set.
Hello, Thanks for the times you spend on the videos. Much Appreciated. So agreed how important a set is. I also use my thread chaser set very frequently. Just a thought for others. Again THANKS
Im an ex paratrooper and legacy firefighter. Raised my my mom and gramma. I had no idea how easy that could be. So, great video and dont care about peeps saying everyone should know that.
If there ever was a need to buy high quality tools, buying taps and dies is it. Buy individually to avoid paying for sizes you'll never use and buy quality. A broken tap stuck in a hole or a malformed thread will ruin you day in a way a broken ratchet could only dream of.
I’m 61 and never learned this. But now, after watching you teach us that it’s nothing to be afraid of, I too can do this. Cody, thank you for your grace and generosity in sharing what God has blessed you with……the knowledge and the experience and now the gift of passing it on to us. I can’t say this enough……may our Lord Jesus bless you for your kind heart and your gift of teaching. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. You are making a difference in this world! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 -Steven, Ohio
I've lost count of the times I've seen this. It can be misleading.. I remember a friend of mine that was a new kid at school that I'd befriended, marveling at the simple things like this that our dads knew & did, and telling us how his "dumb dad" didn't know how to do any of these things. I remember my dad telling him that his dad wasn't dumb, and not to ever say that.. and in words we could understand, told him that his dad's skill set was like superior, bit just resided in and area we didn't get to witness, and that it probably made him more money, and he just paid guys like us to do it for him because he was probably busy doing more important things. I remember the kid saying something like, "yeah.. he's ALWAYS busy..and that's what he ALWAYS does..every time we move he has to find different people to fix things for us 'cuz he doesn't know how". Turns out they had moved here to work at the then "Norris Industries" (Government Munitions & secret stuff no one talked about). The guy ended up having 3 Engineering degrees, one being Electrical, another in Fuzing & Detonation Systems, and another w/something to do with Nuclear Power..the guy designed Bombs and also Precision Guided Munitions, which at the time was cutting edge. He later took another job working on a secret project at the somewhat close by LLNL (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory..several underground layers, tram connected all over the country, & many layers of ATS Clearances work there) SO much for his dad being dumb just because he was a bit lost in the average man's shop😂..things aren't always as they appear 😉
Metric "M is for manure"🤔❓ little knowledge of the metric vs standard: the standard is based on base 12, 🤔 where did this weird amount come from? The nephilim had six fingers for each hand, total of 12 digits, whereas the metric system is base 10, man has 5 fingers each hand for a total of 10 digits. Think about it next time you're working on something.🤔😶
I know you follow metrics but these style videos got me to follow. However, I do enjoy the how the US Forest Service does….. and you fascination with the Airsoft hobby.
The quick and fast rule for most metals and plastics is to drill with a bit 1/64th smaller then the threads you want to tap. Finally wd40 is not a great cutting lube get tap magic or something made for it.
Between tap and die set to a helicoil(or other ideas like them) very simple know how to save you money and have some pride knowing you fixed/built it your self

This is the kind of content that made me subscribe! Every 3-4 months you would do a "furious rant" video. The last 3 months has been nothing but the furious rant videos. A mini-lathe or mini-lathe/mill combo would be an invaluable tool to compliment your tap and die set. That would really save trips to the hardware store or having to wait on ordered parts.
Brother you’re wrong about metric. I’m a machinist and I’ve broken far fewer metric taps. Plus the pitch is so much simpler. 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 etc. Pretty much everything on American cars these days is metric anyway. Hand tap 100 1/4-20 holes and then 100 M6x1.0 holes and tell me which one you like better 😂
M for MASTER! The day an average American can tell me how many feet in a mile off the top of his head, or convert a decimal into a fraction, I may be convinced to concede.
@@jamesupton143 I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't research or calculate that. Now do the same and tell me how many inches per mile.
G'day Cody, "manure" bahaha, ....... ok I'll bite. In a world where metric is fully standardised, your tap, die and allen key kits would be half the size and cost, ..... and that's just to start with ; ) Cheers Duke.
I highly recommend using a thread anti seize compound rather than cutting oil. It's much more sticky, friction resistant, far easier to clean up, and works like butter😁... especially a food grade anti seize. It's stays on your workpiece twice as good. Oil gets every where, and ultimately never cleans up unless you use cleaners and degreasers.
Thank you for this. And that bit of talk at the end i true. No one taught me, my pastor showed me a bit and your video gave me an indepth view of it more. I'm slowly being more capable
Ita best to find one on marketplace or craigslist. You want an old one not one of the new chinese deals. They dont make them like they used to, real iron. An atlas 10 inch would be perfect.
An additional tip when threading holes. Sometimes it is easy for the tap to wobble and mess up the first couple of threads in soft metal like brass or aluminum when holding the tap and tap holder by hand . Tap guide fixtures are very seldom available to assist , however all metal shops and even many home shops have a drill press . . Unplug the drill press . Take the belt off of the top pulley above the spindle ( usually comes off easily without tools)so that you can turn that pulley by hand . A shop towel on the pulley or wearing gloves saves you from getting your hands dirty. Insert the tap in the spindle and gentle lower the handle on the drill press . Sometimes if it was a very sensitive airplane part I would attach a light weight on the handle to free both hands to control the pulley . Used that method both at work and at home many times over the years. Don’t forget the tap cutting fluid.
G'day mate, yep for sure. Works even better on a small lathe, though in fairness many dont have that option in a home workshop. And fair to say both methods assume the machine screw or bolt has not been bent and/or has a perfectly parallel cut thread to start with, I'm sure you get the drift. Also, cutting down bolts; should the extended thread now bottom out, or other wise be too long, thread your die, (or I like to use a nut, since it provides a second point of clamping in a vice) on first, before a hacksaw cut. File/grind the dags off to recreate the chamfer, then remove the die or nut. Cheers Duke.
I would recommend to get magnetic aluminium pads for your vice, so if you work with some softer material, or stainless you won't leave any markings from those sharp teeth that the vice has 👍 Also, nice Husky you got!
I´m 40+ and a German "Mechatroniker". At home I have a similar set like that one you used. Most of the common like M5,6,8,10 and 12 are now profi tools. When you use them often they break at some point, then you know that you need better ones. At work I need bigger ones but at home seldom if ever. I need the inch-tools because we have a Massey-Fergusson MF-35, english tractor = inch, but that are stil the cheap one. 2 things that I think are important: 1. You need no extra oil for this when you do it 3 times a year. Normal 15W40 or DW40 oil is good enough. When you have nothing at hand even spiting helps. 2. Many bolts have this surface between head and thread or even the head to center the part. An indicator for this is when the part is thicker then the thread or the surface is more refined. Then don´t clamp it in your vice. Clamp the tool in your vice or use aluminium-inlets in your vice. The T-handles are a must-have for working on bikes, cars, tractors, etc..... I have sets for Allen-heads in metric and inch, torx in metric and a bit-holder with a t-handle and long-bits for all the exotic electric stuff.
I learned the “1/4 on, 1/4 off” technique after breaking a tap in a hole when i was around 19. The old technician who had to help me get the broken tap out made sure the lesson was learned.
As a time served Land Rover mechanic from Scotland, having new vehicles in the late 90’s with both Metric and the Backwards imperial system threaded components was/is very frustrating
Thank you for showing how to do things like this. My parents died when I was six, so I learn from books and men like you gracious enough to teach. GOD bless you
Learned something new today I didn’t know you are only supposed to do 1/4 turns- does the same thing run true with thread a hole? Electrician who quite often has to re thread 6-32 to 10-32 threads
I have never understood how anyone can do that. Start it with your fingers and turn it until it stops, then use a wrench. I know it happens, but I don't know how.
It doesn't seem like it can possibly save that much time. Most shops/quick lube places have no margin on oil changes, so it's often the lowest paid guy and they have to turn out as many per hour as they can
I've been tempted to get a tap and die set, but have never needed one, though it would have helped cleaning factory threads when adding a tow hitch to a 15 year old car (strange size, so not in most T&D sets). But for your handlebars, adding a washer to each bolt could have solved it. Or cutting off the end of the bolt, and cleaning up the thread with a nut. Like a helicoil, it's good to know about the options, but even as a mountain homeowner who likes to fix things, I haven't had a need for these things....yet.
You need an SAE and Metric tap and die set these days. I grew up with only SAE nuts and bolts but the Woke and scientific communities have been pushing that French designedmeadurement system for the last 60 years with some degree of success
I like the metric system, not perfect but much more logical than SAE. I use Fluid Film as a lubracant. Fluid Flim is the best. Non toxic, cuts grease and oil from your hands. Works great as a under carrage protection if you need to do it. I use it everyday at work. Being lanolin I us it a hand loation.
using a tap or die is a bit of an art. You cant see what you're doing so its mostly by feel. Just remember to go slow, use plenty of cutting oil, and dont force anything. You dont want to risk breaking off a tap (Then you'll be buying a tap extractor kit).
Nice fix. Manure, I agree. Needed a 7mm Allen wrench for a brake caliper bolt. Who has that in a proho kit? They go from 6 to 8. Took a 5/16 and ground it down and problem solved.
I wish I had grown up around guys that showed me this type of stuff early on. Dad was in prison, granddad was too impatient to show me, no older brothers, no uncles that wanted to spend the time with me, three step dads that couldn’t have possibly cared less about teaching me. No wonder I ended up in prison hahaha. Good videos, buddy. God bless.
Love these types of videos. Followed you after those common mans woodworking tool videos. I wasn't interested in these types of things when my father tried to teach me and when I lost him at a young age, I've resorted to TH-cam to teach me how to be self-reliant when it comes to tools and at home maintenance/repairs.
Big fan, but the manure stands for imperial system. I don't use words lightly but imperial measuring system is reta*ded. If someone prefers the imperial system there are only 2 options, either used to it since childhood or doesn't understand how superior and simple is the metric system.
I’ve heard gear wrench makes a good set that is reasonably priced. I don’t have a set yet. But I’ve run into many occasions where I had to make a special trip a pile of miles away to get a single die or tap. Think the last set may have been Mac tool that I looked at. When I bought my ratchets I had to damn near run a Cornwell tool truck off the road
I have had my Imperial tap and die set for probably 65 years I still have not bought a metric set. I think I use a tap or die about once every two weeks or every 2 to 3 years whichever comes first
I've used my taps and dies for years. Handed down from my father from his along with the knowledge of how to use them properly 👍🏼 great video for those never to have had the honour
I love your channel mate I live over in crestline ca and a first time home owner. Currently in the middle of another alleged spring blizzard. We are believers as well.

A tap and die set like this is a perfect example of when to use my philosophy of "buy twice, cry once." The first time you need a tool, especially if it's a kit of stuff or something that can run into the hundreds of dollars real fast, buy the cheap one from Harbor Freight or some other hunk of Chinesium. Like Menards Masterforce and Performax brands. Then, when it breaks (not if, when) you've proven that you use it enough to buy the good stuff. This is really nice for stuff like taps and bits, too, because you can pay $10 or more for a single good tap or twist drill. Buying a whole number/letter/fractional set of drill bits at $10 a pop will put a real crimp in your wallet, and you're never going to use 95% of them anyway. Buy the cheap kit, then when you break a piece, backfill only the pieces you've worn out with the good stuff.

Take the belt off of the top pulley above the spindle ( usually comes off easily without tools)so that you can turn that pulley by hand . A shop towel on the pulley or wearing gloves saves you from getting your hands dirty. Insert the tap in the spindle and gentle lower the handle on the drill press . Sometimes if it was a very sensitive airplane part I would attach a light weight on the handle to free both hands to control the pulley . Used that method both at work and at home many times over the years. Don’t forget the tap cutting fluid.

Also, cutting down bolts; should the extended thread now bottom out, or other wise be too long, thread your die, (or I like to use a nut, since it provides a second point of clamping in a vice) on first, before a hacksaw cut. File/grind the dags off to recreate the chamfer, then remove the die or nut. Cheers Duke.
It wasn't G`uten Tight 🤣💪
I think I woke my wife and son up from laughing so hard when you said m for manure. Right on there.
Why is metric manure? I’ve always thought it was fine

I would recommend to get magnetic aluminium pads for your vice, so if you work with some softer material, or stainless you won't leave any markings from those sharp teeth that the vice has 👍
Also, nice Husky you got!
Great video in original old school wranglerstar fashion 👍

I´m 40+ and a German "Mechatroniker". At home I have a similar set like that one you used. Most of the common like M5,6,8,10 and 12 are now profi tools. When you use them often they break at some point, then you know that you need better ones. At work I need bigger ones but at home seldom if ever. I need the inch-tools because we have a Massey-Fergusson MF-35, english tractor = inch, but that are stil the cheap one. 2 things that I think are important:
1. You need no extra oil for this when you do it 3 times a year. Normal 15W40 or DW40 oil is good enough. When you have nothing at hand even spiting helps.
2. Many bolts have this surface between head and thread or even the head to center the part. An indicator for this is when the part is thicker then the thread or the surface is more refined. Then don´t clamp it in your vice. Clamp the tool in your vice or use aluminium-inlets in your vice.
The T-handles are a must-have for working on bikes, cars, tractors, etc..... I have sets for Allen-heads in metric and inch, torx in metric and a bit-holder with a t-handle and long-bits for all the exotic electric stuff.
I learned the “1/4 on, 1/4 off” technique after breaking a tap in a hole when i was around 19. The old technician who had to help me get the broken tap out made sure the lesson was learned.
As a time served Land Rover mechanic from Scotland, having new vehicles in the late 90’s with both Metric and the Backwards imperial system threaded components was/is very frustrating
Trefolex is awesome cutting paste

Thank you for showing how to do things like this. My parents died when I was six, so I learn from books and men like you gracious enough to teach. GOD bless you
Learned something new today I didn’t know you are only supposed to do 1/4 turns- does the same thing run true with thread a hole? Electrician who quite often has to re thread 6-32 to 10-32 threads
Also handy if anyone else changes your oil and cross threads the drain plug, making sure to run it home with an impact.
I have never understood how anyone can do that. Start it with your fingers and turn it until it stops, then use a wrench. I know it happens, but I don't know how.
It doesn't seem like it can possibly save that much time. Most shops/quick lube places have no margin on oil changes, so it's often the lowest paid guy and they have to turn out as many per hour as they can
I've been tempted to get a tap and die set, but have never needed one, though it would have helped cleaning factory threads when adding a tow hitch to a 15 year old car (strange size, so not in most T&D sets). But for your handlebars, adding a washer to each bolt could have solved it. Or cutting off the end of the bolt, and cleaning up the thread with a nut. Like a helicoil, it's good to know about the options, but even as a mountain homeowner who likes to fix things, I haven't had a need for these things....yet.
You need an SAE and Metric tap and die set these days. I grew up with only SAE nuts and bolts but the Woke and scientific communities have been pushing that French designedmeadurement system for the last 60 years with some degree of success
I like the metric system, not perfect but much more logical than SAE. I use Fluid Film as a lubracant. Fluid Flim is the best.
Non toxic, cuts grease and oil from your hands. Works great as a under carrage protection if you need to do it. I use it everyday at work. Being lanolin I us it a hand loation.
using a tap or die is a bit of an art. You cant see what you're doing so its mostly by feel. Just remember to go slow, use plenty of cutting oil, and dont force anything. You dont want to risk breaking off a tap (Then you'll be buying a tap extractor kit).
Great to see a normal video 😁 please keep them coming

Nice fix. Manure, I agree. Needed a 7mm Allen wrench for a brake caliper bolt. Who has that in a proho kit? They go from 6 to 8. Took a 5/16 and ground it down and problem solved.
Yes, we Europeans suffer from Metric to no end. But on the other hand we have no Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to deal with :)
"M is for metric, which is European for manure." Hahaha
I wish I had grown up around guys that showed me this type of stuff early on. Dad was in prison, granddad was too impatient to show me, no older brothers, no uncles that wanted to spend the time with me, three step dads that couldn’t have possibly cared less about teaching me.
No wonder I ended up in prison hahaha.
Good videos, buddy. God bless.
I liked the part where you almost said Imperial but quickly realized that would denote the fraction system is not American.
Love these types of videos. Followed you after those common mans woodworking tool videos. I wasn't interested in these types of things when my father tried to teach me and when I lost him at a young age, I've resorted to TH-cam to teach me how to be self-reliant when it comes to tools and at home maintenance/repairs.
You're awesome! Thanks for showing our men manly things. My son watches you. He has learned alot.
Big fan, but the manure stands for imperial system. I don't use words lightly but imperial measuring system is reta*ded.
If someone prefers the imperial system there are only 2 options, either used to it since childhood or doesn't understand how superior and simple is the metric system.
Torque to one and a half grunts
I miss your longer videos. I know TH-cam is pushing folks to shorter videos - just don't like it. Nie
This gives me a whole new appreciation for that episode of King of the Hill when he asked bucklee to get him a tap n die and some WD40
I’ve heard gear wrench makes a good set that is reasonably priced. I don’t have a set yet. But I’ve run into many occasions where I had to make a special trip a pile of miles away to get a single die or tap. Think the last set may have been Mac tool that I looked at. When I bought my ratchets I had to damn near run a Cornwell tool truck off the road
I have had my Imperial tap and die set for probably 65 years I still have not bought a metric set. I think I use a tap or die about once every two weeks or every 2 to 3 years whichever comes first
Come on Cody you know metric is superior than what you use 😂😂😂🎉. 🎉🎉🎉 ❤
I love my tap set, I use it every opportunity I get. Sometimes I add bolts to things that don’t really need it just so I can use my tap set. 🤭
I've used my taps and dies for years. Handed down from my father from his along with the knowledge of how to use them properly 👍🏼 great video for those never to have had the honour
The Jesus bolt, is what you were referring @ 4.11. Very important.
Top notch my friend, sooper skookum! Hey what’s that dirt bike seat tool tray thing?
As a guy who sells bolts screws and hardware like this, M for manure is the best I’ve heard 😂😂😂
🔥🔥🔥 I didn't have anyone show me growing up , I got these tools in my sets now I no what they for 😂, Thanks
I love your channel mate I live over in crestline ca and a first time home owner. Currently in the middle of another alleged spring blizzard. We are believers as well.
It's not imperial it's bananas

The rotor blade bolt/nut is what we call the Jesus bolt/nut. It’s called that because if it fails, that’s the next person we will be seeing.
Cody said that the tools on the left of the case were the 'manure side'........ Errrrrr. The what?
