Loctite Windshield Repair Kit Review - Video
Today we are going to show you part number LT37613 from Loctite. This is their windshield repair kit. Today on this vehicle we are going to replace a sizable chip in the windshield and see how it works. The first thing you want to do is get your favorite glass cleaner and clean up the area really good and if you can if there are some little bits inside the impact area you may want to try to clean that out as well. Let it dry out really good and then put a cloth at the bottom of the windshield below the damage because when you install the product and remove it you are going to have a little bit of run off, so keep it away from the painted parts and it will be okay. 00:35 more

Circuit Tester Kit Review - Video
You can see the kit comes with three parts to it, obviously the tester itself here, the alligator clip that will actually go on to the end here. You also have the hook that goes over the end which goes around the wire and pierces the wire to test the wire also. This is the larger alligator clip you use for the ground. The way this unit identifies the circuits working, it does it in two different ways, it actually lights up and it actually makes a sound. We will demonstrate that here with this light we have hooked up to a power supply. This is the ground so this will go to the ground of one of the lights that you are working with. This probe here will actually go to the wire itself. We will use our hook here, and we will go ahead and just test the wire. Just squeeze it gently and you hear a tone and it lights up. What is also nice about this, if you actually reverse the polarity of this, it will reverse the ends and tell you the polarity. more

Plews LubriMatic Ultimate Grease Gun Review - Video
This ultimate grease gun is equipped with a 10 inch grease pipe, a heavy duty coupler and a longer lever than you see with other competitors models. The barrel and the loading lever both come standard with comfort grips and the stroke on the lever is variable. In other words, if you need a lot of grease just increase the stroke. This also has a nice air bleeder valve installed on it so when you put a new cartridge in it, or if you somehow get a air bubble inside it you can let out that air. This unit puts out about 10,000 psi total pressure and this unit is a heavy duty design to take the abuse of being dropped into the toolbox and whatnot. This is really an over sized unit intended for industrial applications, no shop should be without one of these. As you can see here, the barrel itself is about 10 inches and the are grips on the barrel here and on the handle too. You can see with the lever here that we talked about earlier, you do not have to go all the way out, you can deliver just a little bit at a time or go all the way out to put out the maximum grease that you can. more

Sherline Trailer Tongue Weight Scale Review - Video
Today we are going to review part number 5780, the Sherline Trailer Tongue Weight Scale. This scale is rated to 2,000 pounds capacity. This scale is a good thing to keep in your tool box simply because if you have got a trailer that carries multiple loads, chances are your tongue weights are going to vary so this will give you a good idea on what you are dealing with before you hit the road. The gauge itself you can see has a nice white face with black lettering on top of it and it has two different measurements basically. It has metric and standard. The top part of the scale also unthreads if you want to put this underneath the bottom say for example a jack itself. 00:31 more

Plews LubriMatic Deluxe Bearing Packer Review - Video
Aside from being really helpful with trailer bearings, you can also use it on other types of bearings. For instance, for your car, truck or RV bearings. It has a minimum id of 1/2 an inch with a maximum od of it is going to 5 inches and the height of the bearing will work from a 1/4 inch up to 2 inches tall. Basically when you get it its going to be unassembled like this and you assemble like so. To use this device we will take a typical bearing we have here, and you just install it. It will slide over, it does not have to be centered as this device is self centering. You want to make sure the cone of the bearing is pointing up like this, make sure the narrowest point is on top. Now we take the top half and thread it on also. This makes a seal between the top and bottom halves of the bearings. What happens is the grease will come out from inside the bearing out the top a little bit and then comes out through the rollers themselves. more

Plews LubriMatic Grease Gun Kit Review - Video
This is a nice small model that will fit in your toolbox just nicely. It will come in handy if you are at the boat launch and you want to stick some grease in your bearings before you go in. It also works afterwards if you need to get some water out, you never know when you need some. This is an essential tool to keep in your toolbox. At this point we will go ahead and show you how it goes together. It is a pretty simple device really. You start by unscrewing the head off the cartridge. With the plunger here you give it a good turn and it comes apart. With your grease cartridge you take the cap off and it goes in the tube. You pierce that and it goes in there, let the tension go back down and in a few seconds you are squirting grease. As you can see the whole unit is all steel construction with a nice painted surface.

Plews LubriMatic Pistol Grip Grease Gun Review - Video
What we have here is a heavy duty grade grease gun. Instead of the typical lever style we have a pistol grip design instead. This pistol grip design develops 7000 psi. What is also nice and different about this unit is, instead of a rigid hose going up to the coupling, it has a flexible line so you can get to the hard to reach areas. That combined with the pistol grip makes this a very user friendly device. This gun uses all 14 ounce grease cartridges too. It also comes with a bleeder valve to get any trapped air out of the cartridge when you are using it. Also what is nice about the flexibility on this if you happen to throw this in your toolbox you will not have a rigid line sticking out all the time, you can take the hose and fold it up and put it away. more
