Cool Tools

Приєднався 25 кві 2013
Cool tools really work. A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. Our reviews are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We review things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.

When I plug mine in it doesn’t show up on my pc for some reason?
He came out just fine from Terminator 2, but disturbed by Batman Returns. He’s probably laughing at his old video now. Things we do/say as kids 😂😂😂

Sometimes the steel ball won’t catch and it will loosen . The metal tab holding the ball in place sometimes needs to be bent inward a bit . I like them but they can be finnicky
I thought these were originally from Craftsman... Then Husky brought them!!! Not any more😢
Best review I've seen for years! Video and information was very focused and straight to the point. Thank you! Now, please review everything I need so that I can stop wasting hours of my life listening to others ramble on and not answer my simple questions.
I also miss these shows, and I hope Kevin and team bring the series back.
How can I connect a 9V battery?
i didnt know sonic was into nuts and bolts
as soon as i saw the blue hair i stopped the video lol
Cool
I'd like to see how the bernzomatic ts8000 and the flame king fk8500cga compare
PTFE wire's even better as the insulation's even finer, permitting a higher current, along with perfect for ultra fine space.
Use them for a week in a panel shop. Then youll see which ones are worthy...
what the name module?
I liked the show. Thanks for making it! Any idea if or when a new episode will be released? Hope yeou are ok!
Thanks! We're just taking a hiatus, but we will be back soon.
@CoolTools that's awesome news!
Can you recommend a glue that can bond painted surface to panted surface without sanding
Great vid ty
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
9$ xD It's 27,30€ in Germany
I've been rocking this key organizer for over a decade myself. The first one I bought lasted about a decade, before the metal started to wear out just enough that a ring would slip out occasionally... That's not a knock on the key ring. The fact that it lasted nearly 10 years of daily use and abuse should tell you it's a well made product. Love this thing. I have couple of them, so that I can keep a bunch of micro EDC tools on a spare and swap them out as needed. I love how you dug up the patent history and various brands. Good work, Bro.
Instant upvote for your upfront clarification of your skill level and scope/limit of your advice
That very much seems to be the most legitimate, scientifically valid, no BS, "straight on" comparison I have ever seen! BRAVO!
Compare these Irwin auto stripper with knipex auto stripper please
Hey guys, thank you for the video! Can't wait to get a set of these. I just wanted to offer a little tip because you had said as far as you know dremel is the only company making those types. I actually saw another brand at Walmart, Hart tools also has rotary tools and accessories and they make these as well and are cheaper than Dremel brand!
visegrip tools are the best in the world
u say freking 38 $ is 9 $
I just leave a lil paint striper in the bottom of the cap then turn my can upside down so it doesn't leak out give a couple blast and it's clear
i purchased the same thing from amazon from your link and it doesnt seem to work out of the package!
The best one will always be the one with the most features. Gimbal for the win.
Great video guys, very informative, well done !
I have a set of four Rhino USA retractable straps and they are awesome
Great idea! Plan to add some ambient sounds to my model railroad, so considering this. Will just have to see what 4MB will give me, ideally would like to loop the sound so not sure if that's doable.
Woah... this video was EXACTLY what I was looking for!
That's awesome. I have one that belonged to my dad. I have no idea how old it is. Add a set of hex drive drill bits and it would be a fantastic off-grid tool. EDIT: Does anyone know of a drill bit chuck adapter for a 3/8 drive speed handle?
Do you think you could replace the button with a motion sensor
Poor review, the one you recommend was damaging the small white wire stp the vid at 2.29 sec. Surprised no one spotted it.
I'm not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure they make these in both imperial-only and metric-only.
Try Harbor Freight Bauer glue gun cordless with 3amp battery.
в тебе руки трусяться.
To see if it'll work for what I'm trying to do it it could be really cool if it did
If the motors can't pump air fast enough to make the crazy wavy man work, you could try using long thin balloons that would inflate faster since they have less volume, and wrapping a wavy-man "costume" around them - same principle as the breathing sock you showed.
One came with my bed for free. Best too I ever owned
You guys are stupid
Great Job! Thank you!
What kind of inches are on the square - Shaku or imperial? Alot of Shinwa tools have Shaku inches on them.
just got one delivered I'm hoping this will help some with pipe bending copper geometry is not on this list of things already learned so time will tell
Or just spend two bucks on a bag of caps from a spray paint shop
I love that they're called suckers lmao
