Chris Fix would be proud. Doing disc brakes is so much easier than drums. And yes the most reliable vehicle is one you maintain and can fix yourself. I saved nearly $3,000 fixing my wife’s Infiniti by just looking up the code (it was a sensor in the transmission) and replacing the part myself. One of the best things about UKposts is wealth of DYI repair videos on multiple makes and models. Any modern vehicle should be able to do 100k with proper maintenance.

Every hose I have ever bought gets tangled in knots . When I wash my car I get very annoyed . Great videos Thanks ( It is a Zero G Hose ) don't like it

Household name for sure. Been watching you for years and ive personally never seen a negative comment. Thanks for all your hard work bro 🙏🏽

Wagner FTW.

Would you test the new “restore and protect oil” from valvoline?

The one problem I have with this test methodology is that generators generally do not adjust to fuel octanes, whereas a car (which I'm assuming most people are concerned with) will. Basically put, if you ask any mechanic there is no real advantage to using higher octane unless the engine is programmed to adjust to higher octane, most won't though (particularly those that run 86/87 octane, which is probably the majority of your average cars on the road). Plus if you do the math, even if you did manage to get say 2-3 mpg more, it doesn't make sense financially no matter how you calculate it. You would probably have to get something like 10 mpg or more to make it break even in most cases and that's if you even can without some expensive modifications to the car (which would just add to the overall cost of fueling the vehicle anyway). Point being use whatever the owner's manual says as that is what your car was designed to use and how it will probably get the best gas mileage as that's how it's tuned/programmed to run. What you DON'T want to do is run a lower octane than what is recommended. I had a Porsche which had to use 93 octane (tried 87 once and it pinged really bad and lost a lot of power, so in that one I had to use 93 octane). But in all of my other cars, I use 87 (which is what's recommended -- actually 86 but we don't have 86 around here, only 87).

I sometimes use Trufuel for my generator and any tools which are likely to be stored without being used often. It’s expensive but cleaning out a blocked carb is no fun.

What color spray paint for the wheel caps?

What wipers squeaked when dry? I have PIAA wipers and they make no noise even when dry. The TRICO wipers squeak alot when dry.

Before the summer hits u should do the best portable A/C towers

How about a Timing Belt?

Todd! Perhaps a good video would be a foam cannon and foam cannon soap?

Another great review!

Land Cruiser 100 series.

I miss ChrisFix videos

I have a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with 282,000 miles. It got a new short block and rebuilt head at 231,000 miles (leaking head gasket) and Toyota replaced the rusted through frame free of charges at 191,000 miles. The transmission has been service twice. Works good, I'll drive it until I croak. The body has NO rust, I live in Illinois.

Right now I just use some silicon spray on the wipers and this works quite well. The key is to have wipers that can cleanly wipe the windshield and this is something I thin kthat is missed. The windshield sprays only do so much but having clean wipers and applying some silicon lubricant to them on a regular basis (I do this about every 3-4 months or about once a season) it key and will make your wipers last longer. You can add windhsield repellants but I found just applying the silicon spray to the wipers to be enough and a can of it lasts a long time. However do not apply it directly on the wiper (don't spray it on the wiper) but rather spray onto a towel and wipe the rubber part fo the blade a few times. This remotes dirt/junk and lubricates the rubber. Was able to get about 3 years out of my OEM wipers doing this and I live in the midwest were we can have some pretty harsh summers and winters.

I like to use the 100% rubber hoses they are really good

At 9:50 you say and print on screen that titebond original failed at 1165 lbs but the scale shower 1665. Is this an editing error?

I’d hate buy a grinder that weighs 78 pounds

No way this guy is responding to all these comments. Has to be a bot. Nonetheless impressive, ive never seen any other youtuber go to this lengths.

In 1994 I was 16 and bought my first car. I worked across town every day during the summer and had no windshield wipers and it was a wet Florida summer where it rained every day for 30 days. My windshield wipers didn’t work. After pulling over during rain for the first few days I applied RainX. I have used it ever since. I’m a true believer.

Please make a piston out of jb weld.

I wish I can do all that in 18 minutes. Took me half a day to replace the rear shocks.

Toyota oil is Mobil Oil just a different bottle

You should do the best rain jacket!

The car doesn't look bad, but let's replace it anyway

Bro i tell people and they sometimes laugh them civics and accords will go 300k 400k 500k miles way more often then toyotas

Let’s drop a like for this real men that spent several hours doing this just for us.❤

What does the wheel have to do with the tool. I would rather buy a real too with no wheels. All these tools are on for people who that dont use them. Get the cheepest one. Or get one thats not om this list.

Nice job! My 2000 F-150 has nearly 300,000 miles. It pays to take care of your vehicle and your vehicle will take care of you.

I would be interested in seeing a fuel injector cleaner test! Like seafoam vs STP vs gummout vs so on so forth.

I dont understad what your getting at here unless you use this all the time all get the cheap one. I wouldnt buy any of these tools. You compared crap to crap. No real tool to compare too.

Can you test ceramic finishes for wood? They seem to be the new fad, but are they actually better than normal finishes like poly and lacquer?

Dang man, I did not know you worked on cars too, great job!

Lexus LS400 and any GM 3800 car Win.

Personal property tax? And you get to live in a dump like Missouri? Wow. What a deal. 🙄

The only people you're preventing from taking your wheels off is your mechanic do not get wheel locks

Great test!!! Thanks for all the effort and details you put into the videos!! IDEA: I would love to see a test on Solar Battery chargers to keep you 12v battery charged and maintained. I use one for my dump trailer, and it's great!

Awesome videos and a great 2023, but I'm extremely disappointed you recommended the Honda Generator. It was the best best on your tests, but the predator was almost to 1/3 the cost. Is the Honda really 3x better for the price?... no. I'd take 2 predators that are 10% worse but still cheaper than 1 Honda any day. I know you say you buy everything, but this one really has me wondering where all the money comes from...

Absolutely love your content.

Like OEM parts. Do not fully replace AT fluid if old and not regularly changed. Can cause slippage issues. Replace 1/3 to 1/2 at most

THE PRODUCTS HERE are reviewed by a man who is having trouble controlling his volume. HE DOES THIS for the entire video. THESE VIDEOS ARE always enjoyable though. IT'S JUST A BIT much this time.

I’ll never understand snap on tools, to me(sure I’m the average guy, my dad however was a mechanic) they’re just too damn expensive and the quality isn’t like waaayyyyy better, sure you get it direct to home, but like, can someone explain to me why would a snap on be better than just going to Home Depot and getting some like husky mechanics tool sets which come with full no questions asked lifetime warranty

Awesome video.

You should just add very fine sand to your oil, same results!

Dumbest thing in the world!!!! I put Arco graphite in my motorcycle in the early 80’s. My dad, a brilliant engineer at Ratheon, said not to use it? As I knew better being 16 years old I put it in. Within 20 miles the wet clutch completely stopped working. The graphite separated and stuck to the clutch plates. The centrifugal effect pulled the graphite powder out, like dad said it would?

Well Done

As I tell the LPL, locks only keep honest people out. Cool viddy!

great job restoring the honda. Love to see more.
