I want EVERYTHING you recommended! Great list!!
You should put them all to the test! Thanks dude!
Two titans of the genre
I'll check out that video to. Now we just need vice grip garage in here lol
Project Farm + ChrisFix = Dream Team Thank you both for doing great detailed videos.
@@chrisfix project fam would be like, we are gonna definitely test that out
I love how Chris blurred out the new car but didn’t blur out “Ferrari” on the oil analysis bottle
It's a viper
I am going to go ahead and say that was intentional.
I'm pretty sure it's a corvette
he also intentionally left “Are Maseratis reliable?” in the youtube search bar at 12:50 to throw us off too
@@fishrocker95 lmao all the false leads are fun!
75% of what I learned on fixing cars has come from you. Your videos are also just fun to watch
Same
This guy has changed my life 2 years ago I remember watching him buy his drift stang I didnt even own a car but thank you for peaking my car intrest low key without watching your videos I prolly wouldn’t be as intrested in cars 😂😂
I'm glad the videos got you into cars! Thanks a lot!
The ultimate gift that you could give your subscribers is to continue being awesome. I started watching around the time of police car build. After watching your videos, I feel like I can fix anything.
Thanks for the ongoing support and thanks a lot!
Agreed
Damn, its been so long already
Same the 2nd episode is when stared watcht
The police build is definitely one of my favorites,
My favorite part about Chris is that he never fell off he’s just aging like a fine wine. Keep up the good work
And the newer videos are getting better and better
Thanks Chris - you helped me buy the last gift left on my list, for my son-in-law, and aspiring car guy. Got him the spark plug sockets - PERFECT.
I don’t think enough people realize how hard drifting and adjusting the slack of that garlin was, nice job Chris!
Thanks a lot!
I tried it. Wife told me to get the bike out of the house...buzzkill.
chris: blurs out car so we can't tell what it is also chris: writes farari on the oil sample bottle
Oil pan and filter location are VERY similar to a viper
@@X7NationArmyX it’s definitely a viper. The sound gives it away.
@@X7NationArmyX yeah definitely looks like a Viper
definitely a viper. when he's taking off the oil filter you can see the part number which is a mopar filter
How did I miss that :o
That’s a nice new viper chris!
It’s not Christmas without the top gift ideas episodes. In 30 years, my kids are going to watch these videos and it’s going to remind them of their childhood during Christmas time. A cup of hot chocolate, the fireplace going and hearing, “Hey guysss!”.
I love how in just a few years hes gone from spinning out at almost every turn to perfect turns and decorating a tree while drifting, its really inspiring!
Very important for using a DA polisher: you'll need multiple pads of each type if you want to do your whole car at once. One pad per 1-2 panels. The pads get dirty from oxidized paint and dried polish, which can get slung across the surface you want to correct. After every 2x2 section, you'll want to blow them out with compressed air or spin on a pad brush. This would actually be a great "how to" video to cover. Most of the beginner DA polishing videos just show before/after and not what's needed/how to properly correct an entire vehicle.
As I was filming this I was thinking to myself that a whole video on how to use a da polisher for the whole car. I like what you’re thinking!
@@chrisfix I like it! That would make for a great video for the new Ferrari, you know, if that's what the new car is and you weren't just trying to throw people off with the oil sample bottle. I was honestly going to guess another Corvette, but a different body style. The way the intake looks is dead on for a Corvette, but I Know Ferrari also uses that style intake, and the engine is pushed so far back. I'll admit, you definitely have me stuck between V8 Ferrari and possibly Corvette if you were just trying to throw people off with the writing on the bottle.
@@chrisfix please please do. Would be so insanely helpful especially because I’ve been looking for a solid video looking on how to do this. I found a few but nothing is compared to your videos and explanations. Thank you sir!!
@@catch22frubert I was guessing a Viper, am pretty sure I can recognize the V10.
That’s what why you need to blow out your pad after ever Panel and put a little fresh polish or compound on it
Everytime i see one of these videos my mind is like "and the best christmas gift for this year is the brand new corvette" or something along those lines and thats one reason why i like chrisfix videos of this sort because they are realistic gift ideas
Thank you!! I look forward to these every year (sometimes for myself 🤭) . Everyone please like the video! He went through the trouble of wrapping the gifts for us, not all heroes wear capes
can we just appreciate the amount of effort put in these videos? it's just impossible to feel bored. thank you for what you're doing.
That’s a solid list man! I think Cooper was good boy this year 😉
He knows when to behave to get presents!
@@chrisfix hi
@@chrisfix yeah lol 😂 It makes my day
@Chris fix, Unlike 2019, when he ran away with the microfiber towels.
He is a good dog
Just wanna say thank you chris for all of the videos. Im still new in the car community and i really love cars! Thanks to your video i learn a lot and have the motivation to work my own car when i get one. Thank you and happy new year!
Hey Chris, thank you for all your work man!!! It’s helped me out a ton, I need to replace a lot of stuff in my 05 Tahoe, and watching your vids helps a ton. Love the work man, keep it up. And IF you see this, have a great Christmas!!🥲
Hey Chris! Your videos gave me the confidence to start working on my own car a few years ago and through working on my own car I decided that I really wanted to be a mechanic one day. Well fast forward and I’m now working at a Ford dealership. Thank you for helping me realize a love I didn’t know I had and now making a career out of it.
That’s so awesome man! Good work and I’m glad I could be a part of your journey!
Same here, completed my first brakes and rotors change last week. Just maybe include VW as part of your cars ;).
Thanks for sharing.
Now start making how to videos for us!
It's probably really fun to be Chris's neighbors since one day, you'll see him spray painting wheels with helmet on, and on another day you can see him in santa outfit with a helmet and a christmas decorated mazda truck on his driveway
Really wonder why he doesn't want to reveal his face...!! Dying to see how he looks like. Now, since you are his neighbor, click his photo and upload it secretly... 😁😁😁😁
The spill proof funnel tutorial made the video for me! Thanks!
Always love the Christmas Gift videos! Can't wait for more drift videos!
I love how he test all the products over a long time it makes it so much easier to trust the products.
It takes forever but it’s 100% worth it.
Great timing! I have just finished my first semester of college to be a full fledged mechanic! If I never saw any of your videos, then I would have never been this passonate about cars as I am now. Thank you so much for helping me find my dream job.
That is awesome! I'm glad the videos have helped you find your passion! Congrats on finishing your first semester!
I hope my life works out as good as yours :)
Watching ur videos are what got me to love cars. Thank You for the videos!!
That car is DEFINITELY a viper lol. The valve cover, the V that is visible on the intake, the hose on the driver side, and even the sticker! I love this car and can't wait to see it! It's my dream car.
i wanna thank chris for teaching us how to work on vehicles, simplifying everything and giving us the confidence to work on our rides. thank you chris, and we love you :)
It’s exciting to see the driftstang in action again
Agreed!
Yeah it is
How about the "Chrisstang"
Same bruv
I've used the Spill-proof funnel for a number of years. I concur with your analysis of the product!
Usually I am johnny-on-the-spot watching these videos. Been busy well over the past week and a half so I am just now getting to watch this. As always another great video, I would have to say that the funnel, spark plug sockets and the smoke machine have got to be the top three best ideas for the beginner DIY all the way up to the seasoned DIY
Thanks a lot Brandon!
Chris: Blurs out car and labels sample bottle "Ferrari" Subscriber with an unhealthy infatuation with Vipers: The sound is definitely North American muscle. The one dead giveaway that it's an early-mid 2000's Dodge Viper is the intake location and the fact that you can see the V-10 on top of the Gen 3 assembly. Me: subscriber with an unhealthy infatuation with Vipers
I noticed the Chrysler oil drain plug. My XJ Cherokee uses the same one.
😄 the second i saw the oil pan
I also think its a Viper
Def. Viper
Definitely a Viper.
We are so stoked to have been included on this amazing list of wonderful products! Thank you ChrisFix for making our Christmas dreams come true 😱
Can you guys make one with a built in compressor ? 🙏🏼
Thanks for supplying decent tools
@@JosepGee thanks for the suggestion! We will pass along your idea to our R&D department.
@@kevinmontoya7318 thanks for your support! Means a lot to us.
The design looks so premium, so good!
He tried the kit for two years on two vehicles just so he can safely recommend it... That's is amazing dedication i love it❤
Epic! Thanks for the video Chris!
I love the fact you go above and beyond for your fans. You sir are a rare breed. Your parents raised and guided you down a wonderful path! Keep it up man I appreciate you , you make my days better by your videos with all the effort you put in for the viewers. going strong ! You’re raw dude !
He's a star you're absolutely right. Look how many replies he gives, it must take him ages. So good to see someone of his ability do well in life, 8m subscribers that will be 10m next Christmas 🎄👍👍
I love how cooper helps with the unwrapping,chris you went all out on this one, that's the best way I've seen someone dress a christmas tree🖤
the ramps are amazing!!
Every year you find the coolest stuff. Thank you ChrisFix and happy holidays.
That drift decorating the tree was amazing. That should go on daily dose of internet! Send it in!
I can already imagine the title "Santa drifts a Christmas tree" 🤣🤣
Love these videos every year! Great tip for anybody getting a DA polisher, use 4 pea sized drops and a SLOW movement will make removing the compound much easier and provide better results as you’re not clogging the pad! Also can’t wait for the third Gen v- I mean new car content!
I like your detail explanation with differentiation between products.
EVERY item and grand slam...thanks C Man...outstanding. Merry Christmas.
Hope this helps everyone figure out a really GREAT gift idea this holiday season (see list below if you are looking for the links)! ***NEW ChrisFish KZhead Channel*** kzhead.info/tools/hCd17oKbPA1yIfv4Cb_RSw.html 1.

Nice Ferrarii Chris
Best gift would be a boat and fishing gear ;)
Nice Ferrari
Yes Edit: It’s nice to see that the driftstang is back :)
Ferari?
When it comes to the magnetic spark plug socket, I can approve this. I'm studying as a mechanic and my work placement has them. They make life SOOOO much easier. They have them but as a whole. I can definitely recommend it!
Agreed. Obviously, it's not strenuous to grab a pair of needle-nose and pluck those little buggers out, but just being able to save that little bit of time makes such a huge difference!
Saaaaaaaaaab
Drill brush is definitely one of my faves.
I love Chris's enthusiasm
My favorite part of this whole video was figuring out through oil capacity, what the oil pan looked like, and oil weight, I figured out it’s a gorgeous Dodge Viper. Can’t wait to see it 👀
I’m an accomplished auto mechanic, although it’s not how I earn a living. I’ve rebuilt engines,transmissions, diffs and more, but I’ve still learned a few things watching your channel. I like the way you explain things in simple English instead of technical jargon. I tend to believe that having the tools to do the job is key but understanding mechanical systems is the first step. You explain things instead of just telling how to repair the problem. Thank you for making it easy for me to tell others they can do what I do. I try to send people to your channel everyday.
Great job been watching for about 4 years Jersey Guys gotta stick together I've fixed and detailed alot of vehicles watching you thanks Chris
I totally want the Ryobi polisher. I already have the other one+ tools so its perfect
As always, you are a master of your craft, Chris. Thank you again for all these years of content! Keep up the great work!
I started watching your videos 6 years ago and I've learned so much. Thank you for making your videos man, you are honestly a real inspiration.
I LOVE THAT YOU MENTIONED US CAR GIRLS TOO.. THANK YOU..😊🎉
Just got the conversion kit delivered! Hope to see the guide soon! Thanks again
Thanks for your order! :)
The Intro is amazing. Chris, Thanks for being so consistent within making "reliable" and loyal trustworthy videos, You really always show us all the love and passion. You always give the best advice and possible. I really enjoy watching your videos. I really think you are a great guy with a great personality.
Those drill brushes are amazing, I have the same kit. I even use them to clean around the house too.
I was just casually listening to this video and didn’t even realize this was you Chris! I started watching you wayyyy back in the “super clean engine” mustang days. Your growth is phenomenal.
Great ideas again this year Chris! Thanks for all the great information!!
The oil udder is a present I'm going to give myself.
The spillproof funnel is one of the greatest funnels ever made, and it’s very very cool, just like everything listed in the video! Chris really makes very impressive videos with good advice and shows us some tools to save time. There’s a reason why Chris is rising and rising every day. Chris keep up the great work!
Def. Worth the money. I think I payed about 22 bucks a couple years ago.
Did anyone see the oil sample name it says Farrai
Ive been using one of those forever its easily my favorite tool of all time!
Man the track in the intro. Brings back a lot of memories. My dad used to drag race there. That really sucked for that track to close.
Your work deserves big trophy! Thank you for mading my childhood fun ❤
Yay every year we get the ChrisFix top 10 gadgets, Christmas gift ideas 😅👍
You are literally the best youtuber. Always quality over quantity, always consistent. And here you are with 8.5 million subs still in the comments interacting with viewers.. great work man
Thanks a lot dude!
I like every single one of them. It is a great list. Thank you👍
I just bought the flexfuel kit that you have for my car and am hoping that your installation video comes out soon. Trying to make my baby Mitsubishi eclipse gain some horses. Thanks for all the videos, all my mods and little tricks I have learned from you. Thank you for making everything so much easier 😊 ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your order! :) we will also be more than happy to help you with the install or for any questions you have.
I want to start changing my car's oil at home and definitely going to get the better quality (long) ramps and that cool oil utter. Thanks for the tips! Fleece Navidad (and Cooper too)!
I was liking them too but they're $500!
@@MrEazyE357 nice to see someone else that doesn't have thousands of dollars lying around for tools I'll only use a few times. Used to be a diy channel and I'm not sure it is anymore. They're cool tools but who pays $200 for a christmas gift?
"The new car's a surprise!" *blurs car* *shows catch bottle labeled "Ferrari"*
Wait, you weren't- you weren't supposed to heart this, man, this is my first lmao
Not sure... I was thinking third gen Viper.
I mean, probably a red herring, but at least make it, like, a more obvious one? Sometimes it's funnier like that, y'know? Like if he labeled that bottle "Datsun," or "Peterbilt," or "Fuso"
I saw that and checked comments to see if anyone else saw
@@_BAD_MERC_ engine bay definitely looked like a third gen Viper to me.
I really like those long ramps I use a similar style on rollbacks to load lowered cars , customers have a nice smile when I whip those out.
Great list!! Thanks Chris. 😁👍💯💯
Great gift ideas! That ratchet extender is really nifty. There’s a few bolts that immediately come to mind. I’m sure you’ll go over it in your E85 video, but for anyone considering switching, know that while ethical is cheaper, your MPG will drop a bit.
Thanks a lot and 100%
@@chrisfix Did you dyno tune the car with e85? You can advance your timing plenty now seeing as it's 105 oct!
I'm a bit curious how the kit works without larger injectors, I assume there would be a loss in power. Looking forward to the video.
@@gsmith7162 Most stock injectors have quite a bit of headroom for amount of flow you can go up before maxing them out. Now...if you were doing full bolt ons and upping the power considerably with the e85 also then yeah, new injectors are needed.
Fuel mileage is nearly half with E85 but you will pick up performance with the car custom tuned to E85.
you had me with the ethanol conversion at " it makes the exhaust spell good". awesome video chrisfix. everytime you recommend a tool i try to get it to stock up my tool box which currently doesnt have a lot of tools.
I'm skeptical on the kit. I had a crown Vic with the same engine (close model year) as that drift stang. The same e85 conversion question would come up at any gas price spike. The answer was always the same by the enthusiasts, don't do it. E85 is going to dry out anything designed for gasoline only and lead to premature failure on the fuel lines. The flex fuel vehicles had different lines to resist the issue, but not impervious. So if you wanted to do the conversion, you can, but unless you replaced all the lines you were asking for a premature failure. Naturally you need to program for E85 like this does, but it's not as simple as just doing that.
it does smell good! :)
@@TheJuanSolid we verify the fuel system compatibility, we’ve sold over 40k kits with zero complaints about fuel line issues (like in the drift stang after 2yrs), since early 90s the standard has been that fuel system parts are ethanol compatible and ethanol itself is not corrosive in any way
Thank you for this!
The spark plug socket is a MUST HAVE for a Hemi 5.7!!! I believe the 6” is the best for that engine.
The ultimate gift for us is more AWESOME content from Chris!
Hey Chris I love the addiction of the ToughBuilt scraper, I personally think it's an amazing tool but it has one downside that I've noticed personally and why I haven't bought it is. if you hold it upside down (With the blade pointed to the ground) The internal spring isn't strong enough to retract the blade into the body of the knife. Aside from that one major complaint It's a good tool.
I mean I’d just take the half second to tilt it up right and then retract🤷♂️ it’s a downside but don’t think it’s a major complaint. I have one. Works on everything from tint to decals, boxes at work, paint stuck on floors, etc.
Spill proof funnel top gift. Awesome
This vídeo make My day happier, thanks Chris !
Your the man Chris you have showed me so much over the years absolutely love your work Merry Christmas from my family to yours ❤
Always love seeing all the unique tools I've never heard of when you make these videos man! Definitely need to add that drill bit box to my Christmas list, I break so many drill bits, it's downright painful o_O Looking forward to seeing the "Ferrari" and E85 videos next year! Keep up the great work!
Cooper was clearly the main attraction of the video. Best assistant ever
drifting part was soooo sick
you’ve come a long way chris!
Ooh, I want one of those oil udders
🙋🙋
@@oiludder it's in my cart on Amazon 😎
@@dannyspitzer1267 thank you! Hit us up if you need anything!
Nice to hear your explanation chrisfix. Have nice day bro.. 👍
I love coming back to these Christmas gift ideas bc he puts so much effort into these & you can tell
Been a subscriber for years now, but I love how Chris still wears a helmet
Merry Christmas Chris and love the list, already getting ready to fill the cart
Chris is THE LEGEND!!!!! loved that drift Christmas tree decoration
I like your videos there so helpful on knowing how to fix and repair/replace stuff on a car.
This is an awesome video thank you so much Chris! You have always been a huge role model for me! I’ve had 12 cars and im only 18 including a 1996 sn95 mustang and a 1985 Chevy corvette! While working on my first project I messaged you and you were able to help me through that first project! Thank you again!
Well done on everything you do. You helped me and still Help Me so Much! I've been watching and listening. Im just about to start my Car today after working on it on and off but on for the last Month or so so hopefully it'll be a charm. Keep It Up, Well Done!
Let me know how that goes! Thanks a lot!
The smoke machine!!! Great find! 😱
I saw this and told my family I wanted that oil udder well I got it for Christmas and just used it for the first time made no mess I 1000% recommend it
I was so happy to see this finally drop! Great gifts this year, as always. As an aside, I'm just finishing up my first big project on my first car - rear spring & isolator replacement - and I don't think it would've happeneded without your help ChrisFix! The no nonsense, accessible and human approach to car maintanence removed any fear, and quashed all the comments I've heard of "oh you can't work on your car, it's dangerous if you're not a mechanic", and has made me fall in love with working on my own car. I would honestly estimate that you have saved countless people around the world literally millions of bucks in mechanic costs, and that alone is one hell of a legacy to leave. But you also make it fun! Thank you for everything you do!!! Merry Christmas dude
That’s awesome to hear David! Keep it up!!!
Best video of the day thus far, Chris, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to make this amazing video for us, god bless and have a great one, your pal Alexander costa
Can’t believe i watch this every year. And can’t even believe that i want the tools as always 😅. You’re great man, your effort to wrap the tools, its such a great idea for sure. God bless you all, and may the christ with you 🎄🎄
Thanks for that. Keep up the good work.
