2. After all of this, who is ever going to go thru all of this, to use something once in ten years. And yes, we know how intelligent you are on this testing amps

3. Great idea

4. Eric, they have something called the load cage that is adjustable.

5. Don’t get bloody,
   Cut towards your buddy.

6. empty mushroom can, won't melt

7. You seem to be the brightest bulb in the drawer. Should be out fixing things on my vehicle but watching Erin is much more fun.
   Love from Canuckistan.

8. I know you don't like the sewing kit cutter thingies, but you should look into the medic bandage scissors that have a flat nose on the one side of the blades. They make varios sizes but I use them for cutting into electrical tape and looms etc. Just a though.

9. Great video!

10. I liked the way you embedded the needle into the copper wires to encapsulate the needle in solder. I learned the hard way that the secret to joining copper to steel is a change in flux. There are fluxes you can use for joining copper to steel/stainless steel that makes a strong joint. I use it when I need to join a wire to a battery holder. It does not make nice smelling smoke so breathe out when you flow the solder.

11. Thank you was trying to make these today good timing to find this video

12. Amazing you picked now to make this video… I have been going through waiting for a transmission plug for a 98.5 dodge ram 3500 and will be doing the solder job on a replacement plug connector, no longer available except online or used. Mechanic shops are the only people on earth other than dealership that have the correct wiring info per body design, but they pay for it.

13. Always like to revisit older content, especially when it is this useful…….

14. That was a fun hangout!

15. Thanks Eric. 👍🇮🇪

16. I've found it to be bad luck to use yourself as a substituted load.

17. Cut towards your buddy not your body is NOT what they say.
    They say, “don’t get bloody, cut towards your buddy.”

18. Thank you as always for "enlightening" me.

19. I run across one of your old videos about making circuit load testers using headlamp bulbs. Great idea and also very accurate. I used to use an old car horn to load the circuit. What was really helpful using the horn is you don't have to be next to it for the results. One example was i was testing the circuit for the fuel pump on a old E150 with the horn under the van at the pump connector and I was under the hood commanding the relay. Lol sometimes other people in the shop start to complain about the constant horn blowing

20. ❤

21. I have a Toyota Tacoma 2003 when I put it in reverse the fuse for the instrument gauges and AC blowout

22. Wrap the wire around the pin after you solider it then cut the T ears off.

23. So glad to find out that the first time I ever taught of looking for a video like this, and who jumps to the front with it? "The Erick O" 18:10

24. Thanks for the tip south main auto🙏🔧

25. Dang thats q little ng reach torch

26. After watching this I went to the junk yard. Grabbed a couple light bulb and sockets. They didn’t even charge me. Thanks Eric! Very cool.
