Took the VW TRUCK out for a couple mile spin today. She ran great. The interior's all back together and renewed but that's for a future video.

I've been needing a 3/8" by 1" long extension for years, but no one makes one. 1-1/2" is the shortest you can buy, but with that and a regular socket it's the same as a deep socket length. Cut up an old extension and socket and welded up my own. I used it today and it is great as it just barely spaces the socket off the work surface without having the wobble you get with a long extension. Also great for front engine cars when reaching around pulleys but have limited space behind the ratchet.
A lot of companies sell what they call 1" extensions but they all measure 1-1/2" total length. It's strange because all other extensions: 3", 6", etc are measured total length where this one odd ball is measure how much protrudes after it's inserted into a socket. The Middle one in my hand is a so call "1 inch" extension next to a 3" on the right.

Probably the ugliest adapter I've made to date. But these Ryobi HP batteries kick some royal butt. I noticed no difference between using the OEM Makita batteries, an adapter with DeWalt batteries etc.

Per a few guys suggestions from my last video I painted all the battery adapters and put brand logos on them. I'm curious what brand you guys like the best? Youtube will only let me post 1 photo so I posted more on instagram www.instagram.com/p/B7o7kJnpSvI/

Just cut my REAL Christmas tree. It's great to have public lands that allow this. Of course there is a minimal fee that helps the forest service pay for pressing things.

Look close, I had to stitch the tire back up with bailing wire before the tire plugs would hold. It held air and would get you out of a major back road bind.
