Honestly from the title I thought this was going to be "here's some crap we got off Temu for 5p, oh what a surprise it sucks", but these are actually (mostly) useful things which aren't mega expensive!

This is peak automotive youtube. Weird online tools are always so funny

Test edwin, he's the weirdest tool

pneumatic jacks - I’m a self employed mobile tyre guy of 9 + years. first few years I got through a conventional jack every 6 months to a year.. knackered. switched to air jacks and OH my god.. i’ve only ever had to buy 2 put it that way.. one with 2x height for lower cars and one with 3x height for bigger stuff. if your using a jack all day every day and have a compressor, the air jack is KING 👑 plus it blows customers minds regularly 😂 just don’t buy a shit cheap one!

I'm a HGV Fleet mechanic, we have a cheap Chinese induction heater in the workshop, good bit of kit and saves dragging the oxy/acetylene rig out for a small job

The combo of torches giving off strong splinter cell vibes

1:58 As someone who had to study how you can sustain plasma's using a coil to generate an electromagnetic field, best explanation I've ever heard

Those drill pumps are brilliant for draining fish tanks when doing water changes 😊

Who pulls diesel injectors?? Bonnet off remove the injector clamp….start it… still stuck then rev it … injector flies across the room 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Heat induction tool, best tool I ever purchased, I originally commented on one of your other posts about it. Saves me so much time on rusty bolts. 👍🏻🙏🏻

The thing I love about watching these kind of episodes is that you say all of the hellish things I've been through like dropping sockets in the scuttle panel and the MOT tester finding it 6 months later, and knowing that other people have been through exactly the same thing.... and still do them every time they work on the car. Love it, even though I'm not doing much spannering these days!

We do NOT want to see what Chris has got in here! 😂

I mostly use K&N oil filters on my bikes. They have a 13mm (or somesuch) bolt protrusion at the top and are really easy to remove and tighten with a standard socket. No need to mess about with strap wrenches and such.

“You’ll find a 10mm in your windscreen wipers, in six months”

So many times 😄

26:08 I think a pneumatic jack like that would probably work best in a paint and body shop as lifting the whole car is often unnecessary but you're going to want to do it quickly and the shop is already going to have plumbing for compressed air

You can make a strap wrench from a pair of mole grips and an old cam belt.
I see your headlight beanie and raise you a headlight beanie with bluetooth and built in speakers.

Entertaining and very helpful too. That's the problem with buying a new tool for those rare/awkward jobs, will it work as described? I recently purchased a three piece strut removal kit from Amazon that included a ball joint splitter which couldn't have separated a pair of socks. With so many fake reviews around, being able to watch someone independently test and provide honest feedback can either save potential purchasers time and money, or point them straight to the tool they need. I'd love to see this become a regular piece on TDC. Lets face it, there's no shortage of tools & car related products out there.

One of my favourite car hacks was buying a £20 switchable Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver for my '09 v70. Like may cars of that era, there's a USB A & AUX socket in the armrest. I switch the device to receive and plug it into the 3.5mm AUX socket, whilst keeping it charged from the USB outlet. Now I simply pair the device with my phone and press the AUX button on the stereo and steam my Tunes/Audio Books/Podcasts without any cables. Most phones come with dual Bluetooth connectivity, so my phone can still utilize the cars phone connection. If you own a car with the USB A/3.5mm AUX combo, this method provides far better audio than a 'Tunecast' type device that utilizes the radio.
