Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.

I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.

Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like chainsaws, weed eaters, string trimmers, grass trimmers, line trimmers, hedge trimmers, strimmers, brush cutters, leaf blowers, or four stroke, four cycle units like lawn mowers, lawn tractors, snowblowers, pressure washers, generators, ride on mowers that need parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.

My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.

I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on Youtube and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

That's funny you showed that feature. A couple years ago I was trying to get a broken bolt out of a manifold but my vise grips kept popping off the bolt. I took a rattail file an made a small circular cut dead center of the end jaws of them and they stopped popping off the bolt and grabbed and out it came.
I swear I must have seen that feature before and it must have hit my brain. Anyway now it's a built in feature. Cool. Thanks Don.

This and Knipex Cobra (150 for edc, 180 around house and the big ones for professional use) Are a must have indeed!

[dennislett]

I used a pair of these a week ago and boy what a life saver I would have had to drill and use an extractor but with these I was able to remove the screw, an amazing product.

Hey Dony All vise grips have 1 thing in common you have to adjust the opening of the grips with a knob on the end of the grips Try this take and old pair and weld a nut on the adjustment knob then you can grip whatever you want to remove tighten the nut with a ratchet or adjustable wrench. Gives you more leverage CHEERS

After seeing you use the VT-001 Vampliers in one of your other video's, I went ahead & bought a pair from Amazon.
Now they're my go-to pliers for most jobs.
Looks like the Vampliers Jawz will be going on the top of my need-to-get list.
Thanks for the video Don!

[anthonygostling]

vice grips are always useful in your toolbox, good video.

[lovestihlquality]

Great video as always. Who and why thumbs down? I'll never understand.

[scottfirman]

Hi Dony, could you mabe do a video on some of the specialized small engine must have tools we probably already have but not everyone that works on them might need. I have over the years invested in specialty tools for doing valve work, spark tester, valve compression tool and other tools needed to work on both oldand new small engines. I have 5 different types of channel locks, use them all.

Good tips to consider. Vertical serrations are very useful. Not sure if all locking pliers have it.

[paullemay]

Thank you for sharing another great tool review. 🇨🇦😎

[vetterfellow]

Good Morning Ser. DB73, I own several sizes of locking plyers. All of mine doesn't have the features shown in your video. The soft grip handled sure look inviting. I'm going to have to look into at least one pair of these fer sure. Thank you for the review... Angelo from the US. Cheers !!***.

[danielesilvaggi]

Awesome tool Don thank you for this video.

[andrewsteele]

Thanks Don, will be buying a set as soon as possible, cheers

[GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? I have never heard of this make of vice grips. They sure look like a 'real' tool. The ability to lock securely on a broken bolt or stud is a very nice feature!!! I use my old vice grips for this of work all the time. Thanks for posting!!!

[YukonHawk]

I just ordered one.👍👍👍. Thanks for the review.

[highpwr]

I thought about buying a pair but then decided against it. I have a few of the smaller Japanese made Vamplier tools and are very happy with them. I noticed these vice-grip style pliers only have a SINGLE vertical rib in the tip of the jaws as opposed to THREE vertical serrations that provide the grip in my other Vampire pliers. So instead for the same money I just purchased a pair of the 7" slip-joint Vampliers with multiple vertical serrations and still produced in Japan. No - they don't lock on, but I think they will still provide more bite than the single rib vice-grip jaws. I can only hope that they don't move ALL of their production to Tiawan in the future.

They do look solid and well made, i like the handles as you can grip the tool better.
The notch in the teeth is ideal for screws/bar but it may compromise other uses.
I would keep a standard full teeth set as well.
A handy tool :-D

[mcmaster]

Thanks again Dony, I ordered mine today.

[skyemac]

It was the only tool that took off the seized nuts from a shave plate on a snowblower. A grinder was not available. The best.

[kevinbyrne]

Very good video. I especially liked the video clips of the tool in use.
Vampire Tools should send you a check for your endorsement. :)
