What's up Scotty
Are they sending you cheap crap on purpose ?
@@marklepka7994 hey!
Scotty please help! Struggling young car owner here! I left a message on the post!
The sparks just mean the motor has brushes as opposed to brushless it's just a different type of motor
Imagine scotty with full dementia in an old folks home screaming about cars and tools .
“This wheelchair better not be made in China”
Its pretty easy to imagine. In fact I think I'm watching it right now :)
Speaking of Dementia, Our president seems to be a big fan of China,
I bet he could go there right now and not really stick out from the other old folks with dementia screaming about stuff.
@@JOSEPH-vs2gc he’s not the president and never will be.
All brushed motors power tools will spark due to the direct contact. The non sparking drill Scotty used is brushless (DeWalt XR) so not the same comparison. If Scotty used a brushed motor DeWalt, it would also spark.
Yes I have a Dewalt with brushes and it sparks plenty - just as you say.
Usually the nice metal ones don't, because they have the better motor. Chinese or not, the quality of the drill and motor is very important. I do have a nice metal one that sparks but like you said it's the type of motor
You know what you say
Also his DeWalt and essentially every other power tool these days is made in China…. Even Makita and Milwaukee…
Doesnt matter how well bedded the brushes are, they will spark.....unfair to compare a brushless powertool
Sparks on the back of that drill just means it's not a brushless motor. It's brushed, they do spark, and its 100% normal. They all (brushed motors) do it regardless of brand or quality.
It is normal, but the sparks are caused by carbon dust from the brush arcing out inside the drill. While it is normal, the brushes in drills like that wear out fast and need replaced. You can tell a cheaper brushed drill from a quality one from the amount of sparks inside. A quality brushed drill needs the brush replaced after 60 hours of use and makes less sparks. Brushless drills are cheap enough today that you should get them instead. Just around 1/4 more expensive than a brushed drill. Minimal wear and friction means the battery lasts longer as well.
100% Agree
Correctomundo 👌🏽
@@DennisTea they're more efficient too, so you get longer run times.
It's NOT normal on my Milwaukee driver.
“Going to the dump, where they belong…with the rest of the garbage” *shows Chevrolet dealer* had me ROLLING 💀💀
Me too bro. My girl didn't get it 😂

Son, get inside now. he does that every day because some ppl don’t understand anything! ….well; ppl like me. 😆
Strange, I don't see any cameras 😀
Ha. When he was talking about the Honda motor pump there was someone's feet in the upper right. I imagine it was a neighbor who hear him and came over "he's doing it again."
Makes me wanna drive past his house 😂😂
I love scotty too this is the best and i love the memes that's puts in the videos.😂😂🤗
A 20V Dewalt drill was the last thing my dad bought for me as a Christmas gift, before he passed away. That was about 7 years ago, and the original battery packs, and drill still work like the day I got it. My dad was an amazing carpenter, in the union for 30 years, and he swore by Dewalt.
That's all I've used in my business for 30 years!
I have the older version of Dewalt rechargeable tools and they didn't last. I'm guessing the 20V are way better. However I've switched to Milwaukee which I like so far.
@@fatelvis4156 same here Milwaukee so far has been amazing the old DeWalt stuff worked very well but the batteries are junk I heard they changed that with the new batteries but I didn't want to chance it
@@markusa5521 I have the old DeWalt 18v system but at the end before they switched to the 20v they produced lithium ion batteries for the last of the 18v. I haven't had any issues after 10 years. I bet it was those old nicd and nimh batteries that were junk.
It’s not possible for the battery to still make the same power 7 years later unless maybe you didn’t use it
In the drone industry, DJI drones are known to be one of the best. But you are right. Most recently, their required software updates have rendered a lot of these drones unusable - as far as I know these updates were made generally to comply with US law.
the best in the toy drone category..dji cant hold a light up to pro drones at all, wing wang
DJI is like the industry standard though. I got one of those drones and I had no problems with it so far
Right!
yeah industry standard for bricking old models to frustrate everyone into buying a new one. DJI is the apple of RC. They singlehandedly ruined a generations old hobby of flying models, hobby RC is currently being regulated out of existence
They are the industry standard for a little something called "planned obsolescence". They know that people buying drones generally have enough disposable income to buy a new one and they take full advantage of it.
I believe anything that requires a phone app to run is crap. It may work for you, but it won’t beat a purpose built machine. Once they stop supporting the software, the thing won’t even take off.
@@altgraymedia3655 a lot of DJI's products have apps that go along with the hardware, like their gimbals. It actually opens up a huge variety of features that wouldn't be possible anywhere near the price of the product (object tracking, focus tracking). A purpose-built model would be 5x the price, easily, so I should hope it would be better. anyways, most of their new drones have no need to use your phone at all, if you're willing to spend extra to get a controller with a built in screen.
I'm holding out for "Scotty Shows how to tidy up and clean your Garage"
Forget it, he just moved.
He did one, he filmed his moving to Tennessee from Texas. The Huston garage was never cleaner and decluttuered.
this has driven me crazy for years idk how someone who relies on their tools can work out of a place like that lmao
Scottys mind stays on what’s important.
With all the neat tools he has it would be my ocd dream to see his garage organized, right and proper.
“Assembled in the USA “ my favorite sneaky move
Yea it’s so stupid like we won’t realize it all comes from China lol.
Or, product of the USA. Weasel words lol..
Or "Distributed by" or "manufactured for" XYZ Company with a USA address.
"with global parts"
“Made in USA with global materials”
Hi Scotty, I love your vids. I watch them every day. I totally agree with you about the cheap Chinese stuff. DJI has truly horrible customer service, but their drones do have horrible software updates. As an IT professional, I have “fixed” many of them from their “bricked” status. You’ve helped me on so many auto issues. Send me the stupid drone and I’ll fix it for you.
Your the Bro!
America can never have a factory like DJA😂
DJI is the most innovative drone company in the world
Pressure washer tip here, always start the machine with the hose open and water flowing thru the machine, also try to run enough water thru the pump and hoses to get all the air out of the system.

My dad was a racer, every tool in his box was either a Craftsman or Snap on. This was back when Sears was in existence and backed up their tools for life.
Still can't believe sears is done they had quality tools with lifetime replacement
Snap on or Mac Tools High quality tools and they replace them for free if they break. Of course they will. You paid for that one tool three times or more over ftom your first purchase to begin with.
Craftsman is the only tools in my toolbox
@@christophermcmichael880 so does mastercraft in Canada.....and they are less than 1 quarter the price
Craftsman was made in USA back then. Quality was about the same as Matco tools,but 1/3 of the priceThey still out there,still lifetime Lowes sells them,but its all made in China now. I’ve got a torque wrench not long ago from Craftsman (Lowes),remembering good brand name and quality,but i was wrong. Had to return it after just 3 times of use - out of calibration. Never again. Went online and ordered a nice set of 3 (1/4,3/8 and 1/2) wrenches from CDI. (Snap On brand,but way cheaper then original,made in US ). Same goes for the GearWrench. Was a good brand back then. Now it’s Thaiwan.
I have started going for the expensive option for almost all of what I buy, which means I buy fewer things. But those things have so far lasted a long while and been a pleasure to use every time.
Typical hysterical ranting from Scotty. Literally shows a working drill and says the sparking mean it's on the verge of being broken. 😆 If you listened to Scotty about everything you'd be walking to work and turning screws with your fingernails. I have a vintage Skil brushed drill from the 1960s that belonged to my dad and he used it my whole life until I ended up with it. Built like a tank and it also sparked like a fireworks display, and it still worked for decades. Out of curiosity to see if I could reduce the sparking, I replaced the brushes and cleaned the commutator to restore the area that sparks back to clean condition. And guess what? It still sparks, and it still runs just fine even though it's 80 years old. BuT tEh SpArKinG mUsT MeAn iT's a cHeAp dRilLL 🤡
Companies now : dont send stuff to Scotty he gives 'too' honest reviews
Now the competitors buy the products and sends them to Scotty for a negative review...
That Kimo drill’s motor is brushed, Dewalt hammer drill has a brushless motor, the two are different tec. a brushed motor will gives sparks always due to the direct contact with carbon brushes, a brushed motor will run with a higher sound/noise db (decibels).. also it will have that smell coming out of the vents due to the friction/contact that it make with the brushes
Hard to believe this guys a mechanic sometimes
live and let live Lol !but I like Scotty tbh, he’s very knowledgeable about cars, as well as any other automobile mechanics. (Though; few will give the free knowledge, when most mechanics will keep mouth shut and won’t give the advice!) they looking what’s inside your wallet. and believe me when I say this, that us newer generation folks might know a lot about the newer generation power tools, some of us take lots of time studying and browsing all the specs for these tools, on the other side, old school mechanics have spent decades using pneumatic and air compressors, I think it’s the way to go for them using air tools in the shop due the durability and well made of metal construction, and aside of that; all the oldie tools are made in USA, so that’s something to be proud of .
I agree with the don’t buy knock off drill message but your right it’s just a brushed motor. I have a brushed Milwaukee that I’ve put through the ringer for years without issue
Intentionally deceptive.
Yeah I thought that was kind of weird this guy's 50-year mechanic and he doesn't know the difference between brushed and brushless motors. All brushed motors spark that's literally how brushed motors work. Considering back in his days all they had was brush motors he should know this.
Imagine being his neighbor and just random screaming about how the Chinese can't make anything good every day.
Lmao
I'd love 😍 it!
Thanks Scotty We enjoy all of your technical skills and enthusiasm

You want the REAL low down on tools? AvE is the channel you need. He'll tell you where the tool is ACTUALLY made and he tears down the tools to its core components and evaluates it all. A must-watch channel.
agree love the guy.Its rather disturbing how he breaks apart brand new tools.
Having worked professionally in mechanical manufacturing... AvE has no pro skills, he just love to destroy things to compensate. Look what happened when AvE made a device for Practical Engineering, AvE could not even interpret a standard technical drawing, he made something completely different and of course it didnt work. Swearing a lot and breaking things is fun but AvE is really very unskilled..
@@pflaffik lol ok.
Reminds me of an old Home Improvement episode when new management took over Binford. To cut cost they took a well built reciprocating saw and turned it to plastic junk. Good episode. Enjoy your show Scotty.
Scotty is so much fun to watch. Love the popup photos.
That is how we built the chinese economy, and ours going down hill.
We sold our manufacturing soul along with much of our country's soul beginning in the 1970's for pennies on the dollar... All you can do now is watch the snowball growing as it smashes down the mountain growing larger until it hits whatever is at the bottom 🤷♂️ I hope I'm dead and gone before that day comes because it's gonna require a "hard reset" 😳
You can't build an economy with lazy, unskilled workers.
Cheap tools aren't any good and good tools aren't cheap.
I blamed the idiots buying it
fourtwenty mostwanted Wrong. People are almost forced to buy their crap, any market or online marketplace are full with their junk. U.S manufacturers all gone and sold to them long ago, and now; a higher value currency (the dollar) is being traded for a cheap Chinese crap, they’ve played a game and seems it’s a win win to them

Hi Scotty I love your channel! 😊 You are wise and funny as heck! I was the "Tool Repair Technician" at The Home Depot. I was responsible for repairing our fleet of rental tools, our sales stock and customers owned tools. "Ryobi" is The Home Depot's" "house brand" and it is C.R.A.P. - Crap! The only power tool brand that I would by at The Home Depot, is "DeWalt." Keep up the good work! 🙂
Thanks for the info Scotty. I was about to buy a cheap cordless drill. Glad I watched this video first.
Sparks in a cordless power drill are made by motor brushes. Nothing wrong with that. Brushless motors don't make sparks because of their design. Its like comparing apples to oranges.
I was about to say exactly this
He's just wrong here
Given how many people watch the video, Scotty should edit the video to make it clear that he made a mistake here..
Not to mention that even though he recommends corded, very few corded power tools are brushless, therefore still create those "dangerous" sparks.
@@peteharris556 He's wrong about a technicality but not about DeWalt being better and worth the money so it's not like anyone is being misled👍
I swear scotty puts the funniest pictures on all his videos when he describes something out of humor.
He pays an editor to do his edits, its not him

The information that Scotty gives is amazing. The side pictures he puts up just cracks me up. Pure genius!
Bro scotty doesn't get any better than this. (GM "garbage" "chinese "doesnt work anymore")😭
GM garbage please. Everyone's entitled to there own opinion but. The ls engine is the most swaped and built engines ever making great hp numbers and reliable. So garbage no. Every car manufacturer makes junk models so you can't call all GM's garbage.
Scotty needs to review everything on planet
You are completely out of control with all the images you put up on screen. I love it.
Thank you so much for all the useful information.
Make sure you don't get a pressure washer with a "wobble" pump - they fail. The second best is an "axial" pump. The BEST is a "Triplex" pump. The triplex pump is a lot more expensive but they will last a lot longer. But, proper maintenance of the pump is necessary for any of them to last. Never store a pressure washer with water in the pump.
Hmmm, how would I get the water out of an electric SunJoe pressure washer after use? I'm guilty of just unplugging it after use and sticking it the garage.
Professional Pressure Washer here. O.P is 100% correct
News for you, most pressure washers use wobble pumps.
Scotty's mannerisms remind me of an old Joe Cocker performance.
I would love to see a compilation Montage of Joe Cocker's performance at Woodstock and Scotty's videos.
Don't get down I my buddy Cocker, they both gots the moves of interest.
@@allenhammer7923 Joe Cocker at Woodstock, in my humble opinion the most powerful stage performance I've seen. By the time he gets done singing you're out of breath just watching him. What a powerful performance.
bhhahhaha
Joe Cocker had autism and that contributed to his unique and energized stage performances
I've had a Kimo electric 3/8" rachet for over a year now and it still holds up. Battery life is good, charger still works. It's slow and doesn't have much break-away torque but I find that it's better in some situations because you don't risk over torquing or stripping a bolt/screw
my DeWalt drills have sparked since day one -- especially the driver. Of course, it's been about 10 years now and they still work great. I use them regularly too.
"Will last forever if you take care of it" proceeds to start without water.
The kimo drill you used has a brushed motor and that sparks are from the contact from the brushes in the motor. The dewalt has a brushless motor, therefore the contact of the brushes is eliminated thus eliminating the sparks. Also dewalt are made in the USA with global materials (outsourced parts and components from other parts of the world I.e china)
@@patty109109 I'm not trying to sound rude but you visited his channel as well lol when you said I don't know why people visit his channel
DeWalts are still getting cheaper and metal parts are getting replaced with plastic, but having said that I still have my DeWalt brushed 20v drill and impact driver with the original battery packs, got them over 10 years ago. I can only get about 4 or 5 1/2" holes through 1/8" copper but hey, that's all I need! I'll buy new batteries when they're needed lol
@@patty109109 I wasn't aware of him until now, 5.39 million subscribers, that is a lot of stupid.
Brushes should commutate black. Usually need brushes replaced and the commutator ring stoned if they're sparking, especially under light/no load.
Exactly
It's been a long while since I've watch your videos... It's good to feel like you're making sure we're not making mistakes
Ha ha! I just finished watching the rest of your video and see that you are also a DeWalt fan. Good man!
I have a 10.8v lithium Makita drill I bought in 2008. It’s 2023 and it still works like the day I bought it. Bought new batteries tho since then.
The sparking is just characteristic of a brushed motor. I have a Dewalt DW991 drill I bought around 1995 and has always done the same thing. The issue with Chinese power tools is simply overall build quality. The gear assemblies tear up due to their piss poor quality. That being said, the drill you just showed us would probably be fine, for the person who doesn't use them on a regular basis.
For very lite jobs they're fine but you can use it all up on one tough job and still not get the job done.
@@wayland7150 all brushed motors make sparks to some extent, i am surprised he didn;t know this
@@abyssaldision5134 yeah, that is disappointing, because I feel like his confidence originates from ignorance. People like Scotty should do their homework first.
I have both a Milwaukee and Harbor Freight (cheap) cordless drill. No doubt the Milwaukee is far superior but some people/jobs don't require a top quality cordless drill. I used the Harbor Freight drill (cost about $13) for my home renovation because I didn't want to abuse my good one. I used/abused it extensively for 3 years and worked flawlessly until I dropped it from a ladder onto a concrete floor. It was $13 well-spent.
@@abyssaldision5134 there's a few errors in past videos he's made regarding electrical stuff. He knows cars though, so I'll forgive it.
“Steel is steel” No, chinese steel blows.
Plus the seals for l hydraulic pump would be cheap Chinese seals so that would go bad quickly. I had bought a hydraulic floor jack from Costco or Price Club 30 years ago and it only lasted for a few years. Then I got a Lincoln Jack not too long afterwards and it's still good to this day. I did buy a Chinese Jack recently from Napa, the same one that's like the Daytona from China freight that's supposed to be the same as a Snap-On where they had a lawsuit over that. I had no issues with it but I don't use it a lot. It's low profile and list list a ton and a half more than my Lincoln Jack

Truth! My DeWalts are solid tools,I’ve had for over a decade! Kinda like a Toyota.
DeWalt brushed motor tools will spark. He used a brushless.
I smell some self-loathing
@@europana7 youd be right im an electrician and we have this problem even with big expensive motors
I have been happy with DeWalt tools. The only problem was when burglars stole them all.
I have a Dewalt drill with the clutch I don't think I've used it ten times. but it's out of warranty and now the clutch doesn't hold. I can pull the trigger and the chuck will start turning like normal. but then I can grab it and stop it with my hand with the clutch on any setting. I thought I would just throw it away but I decided I would take it apart and see what happened to it. but I haven't yet I'll probably end up throwing it away.

DJI drones are considered excellent and I have a Mavic Air 2. I plan to use it again soon but I'm sure I will have to update it (no choice). I hope it works. I also have a Stanley cordless drill which is now DeWalt. Works great.

For a man who doesn't like Chinese products, he seems to have plenty of them, lol.
Hard not to
He's very selective it seems.
They are free
Companies give things to him to try
China is pretty hit and miss with their products.
Scotty's automotive repair knowledge is impressive and can be very helpful. Regarding other topics, there may be some disagreements. I agree that manufacturers' greed outsourcing to China is short term gain for long term pain, but really we the consumers share the blame - we want low prices. Pretty much everything is now made in China, clothes, major bearing brands, parts and tools of all quality, major brand cell phones - you name it. When I was young, if something was of poor quality and cheap we joked that it was made in Japan, well those times certainly changed. And so with China, you just can't generalize. Brushed vs brushless DC motors has been explained in other comments. Corded vs cordless is another topic, from my experience quality battery powered tools are superior to corded AC powered tools. Generally cordless have more torque, run smoother and have more precise speed control, and ofcourse no cord. I now buy the Ridgid brand because of the lifetime warranty that also covers batteries, that is a really big thing. In my opinion brushed or brushless is no big deal if you have a lifetime warranty, if you wear out the brushes no problem, you're covered. Oh and if you replace your own brushes,you can soak unplated carbon brushes overnight in motor oil before installing, it will be absorbed and they will last much longer.
Great stuff Scotty 😁👍🙏
Scotty controlling half the stockmarket with these reviews.. 😂😂
9:17 sparks are normal in brush motors, you dont see them in brushelss motors.
Yeah even my Milwaukee brush sparks
My first drill when I was a teen was some Chinese something or over, looked like a Hitachi but was not, much like the one in the video. It worked fine for light duty but one job I had to use it masonry drilling and I’ll never forget the noise it made when it died haha. Now I’m all Makita and I’m so proud of my tool kit. Good learning experience for sure!
Great video but in the case of dewalt 18v xrp powered tools. I bought the best I, until battery design change that now requires you to buy adapter and then phase new batteries in as I go? As far as corded, 100% agree, if kept up, forever tools.
Scotty, This is one of your best videos. Purchasing cheap tools is like purchasing rental sports equipment. You may not enjoy the sport, because you got crap when you started.
That's why I tell people who are buying their kid their first guitar and they wonder if they should spend more than $25 and you know what happens I mean how can anyone get any appreciation for an instrument when it could never sound good even by a pro
I treat tools as if they are my employees I hire them to do a job and I don't hire cheap labor.
Back when I was a kid my Dad used a Thor band drill the build his house and work on Apts for 30 years!! That old drill still works today!! Made outta metal and heavy, 80 years and still going strong!!!
I used an old and I mean old all aluminum case Thor 1/2" drill in the 1980s while I worked at the Mount Vernon Ohio water treatment plant-I was drilling in steel, and the so-called mechanic head "repaired" the trigger switch. This drill was a monster with a second hand extension handle- I had the part held in the large bench vise and the trigger stuck on the drill - I literally didn't know which was going to break first: my elbows or my shoulders because the drill got me so wound up and just kept growling. I finally managed to pull the trigger off with my finger and

Appreciate the heads up Scotty,as always! You know the old saying, you get what you pay for...that's usually true!
Scotty, your editor is awesome. 😂 greatest content on KZhead by far. 🎉
I've had the same plug-in electric drill for at least 20 years. For what I do, around the house, I really don't see any advantage in the cordless/battery models. I'm always using it near an outlet, and plugging in an extension cord is a lot easier than keeping a battery charged, or waiting for it to charge, or replacing it when it no longer holds a charge. I'm sure I'll still be using it 20 years from now.
I used to think the same until I got cordless tools. Now I loathe any of my tools that are still corded. The rarely used ones are good corded because no battery to every die but if I use something with any regularity the cordless is a must have.
I used to love the smell of ozone in the morning with my HO train set.
I think your an ozone addict🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're not supposed to run it at 75 mph! 60 tops, dangit!
Thank you so much for your invaluable information Scotty, highly appreciate it, have a great day.
KRANZLE is a top brand. We used to buy a cheap Karcher every year. 15yrs ago bought a KRANZLE, still got the same one, use it every day. It has external metal pump which is repairable, but I've not had to repair it yet !
When i watch these videos I always think of "think of me as the Grandpa you never had" by Scotty. Always watch his videos when im about to do something
Damn Scotty, you’re a savage today. Junk software, Facebook, tiktok grubhub. Junkyards Fiat and Chevrolet dealership. Haha, priceless.
3:35 YES!! Scotty spits fact with the visualization
Thanks Socty, for the info. The heads up on the equipment.
Scotty!
Years ago I bought a Troy-Bilt snow thrower, I thought it had a Brigg & Stratton engine. I was wrong, it had a Chinese knock off engine. The damn thing worked 3 times the first year, before it became a problem. I would love to find a old 2 cycle Toro thrower. Mix the oil and gas right now they will last for years. But none gets rid of a good one, just the ones with worn out or seized engines. 🫣😕 I used a 12 volts Kawasaki driver, similar to the one you show in the video. Works great for light duty, but yes not professional use. But, for what I got it for it's been great.
Gotta love the vids where Scotty comes out swinging, cheers!
I bought a Hitachi cordless drill years ago.It's lightweight,powerfull,has 2 batteries, charges in only 10 or 15 minutes and lasts a long time on a charge.I've even used it to screw down metal roofing! I remember my brother bought a transister radio back in the early sixties when we were teenagers.He rarely uses it now but it still works.
Yeah, those old transistor radios were great and they lasted forever.
Wow, it screwed metal roofing
I just used my Simpson yesterday had it for 4+ years. I do use the pump saver too.
2:44 that image of the car denting is so funny since it happened to me. My truck with a fully plastic front bumper fell off car ramps and the front fell on the back wheel of my bicycle. The whole front bumper pushed up, the bike was perfectly fine, and the bumper popped back in place.
Steel belts sure, but when the sheet is only a few microns thick, it won't do much.
Wish I would’ve used that Sta-Bil oil on my Honda pressure washers CAT pump before I stored mine. R.I.P. ☠️☠️☠️
No your pressure washer is fine
I have never seen that stuff before. Draining the unit before freezing temps is a must (will break the pump).
I use my drills almost every day and my harbor freight bauer has lasted years. Ived replaced my batteries once and probably about time for some new ones but they are 4+ yrs old. Never thought about that spark causong a fire tho. Good info there.
What is your opinion of putting an aftermarket burglar alarm on a car specifically a 2004 Honda accord LX . I did and I had all kinds of problems
Sparks in a cordless power drill is not an indication of "cheaply made tools." Makita that I bought in 2008 had sparks from day one and it still works perfectly fine.
The sparks are a defect, that doesn't mean it wont work, but it definitely isn't working perfectly.
Or I guess I shouldn't say a defect, but rather a loss in power, but it really doesn't affect much.
@@sloughsharkseh3307 Sparks in a cordless power drill are made by motor brushes. Nothing wrong with that. Brushless motors don't make sparks because of their design. Its like comparing apples to oranges.
@@ferfrdfsfwf I know what you mean, but my brushed motors usually don't spark for the first 6 or so months. When originally manufactured it is supposed to not spark, or at least as much, as that isn't as efficient. Like I said, it really doesn't change a whole of a lot. You would need to really try some serious testing to find a difference. In the video Scotty was using a brushless DeWalt, and of course it didn't spark. All in all, I understand what you are saying, but I am just saying that originally, the don't spark as much if at all. Sorry for any confusion in my previous comments.
@@ferfrdfsfwf just don't use it near fumes...like he said...or KABOOM
“Babe, Scottys in our front yard again”
"GET OFF MY LAWN". Sorry Clint, ur talking to Scottie. He has more fans than you do.
He just wants to fix something. I say let em..
Son of a diddly
So funny.
I have had a Ryobi drill that has gone for about 4 years now. It sparks once in a while. Usually while stopping. I can say maybe cheaper, but they last! I also don't throw it or drop it like some lazy mechanics. I got both cord and cordless. The cord is going on 7 years. Now their bigger things like pressure washers, I imagine they cut a corner way larger! I wonder if you can just upgrade that part and make it fully durable. Also their lawn mower works incredibly well. Would recommend.
Great info! Make sure to have at least one cup of coffee before watching this guy, lol
Hey Scotty, I will gladly take that DJI drone off your hands since it is junk in your estimation. (hee hee)
Agreed! I'll take it off his hands real quick!
Yea it’s strange because I’ve never heard anyone say they’re junk before. They’re the most highly praised and well known consumer drone manufacturer.
@@Acaidia Its probably because he bought it used and there was already something wrong with it and got ripped off. DJI is a very good brand.
@@joncroney8779 Yea I've never owned a DJI but that's what I've heard.
@@Acaidia yea DJI is a very reputable company, not like your Sharper Imagine Walmart drones. DJI makes some VERY nice intelligent drones and are worth every penny of their cost.
Dude, that fuggin pic of the tin man dropping lube on him had me rolling. Keep that top tier meme editing going scotty!
1:57 for those that missed it. 🤣🤣🤣
Scotty I’m sure some others have had the same problem with the drone and somewhere out there there is a smart person who’s good with computers and backed up the original software and you can restore the original drone stuff so it works
Scotty, I saw a Honda CRF Dirt bike with a led light bar in the background of your video. Would love to see a video of how you mounted it and wired it to the bike.
I’ll buy any tool that Scotty recommends but not DeWalt. They agreed to rebuild motor in a porter cable disk sander. It never worked after that and DeWalt refused to stand behind their work or offer a refund. I refinish and install hardwood floors and have many DeWalt tool but have refused to buy any DeWalt products for the last 8 years. Their are other, more reputable tool companies out there
I had a little trouble with DeWalt as well.
Scotty really cracks me up. Too funny and the hands flying all over the place
My dewalt drill has been sparking for 10 years, still running string though 😂
