If I may add

Instead of posting to youtube with "https://youtu.be/X8BDMF8KKlQ" you can substitute in a slightly different url and help keep the hive from learning your online identity

Examples:

https://youtu.be/X8BDMF8KKlQ becomes https://yewtu.be/X8BDMF8KKlQ or https://invidio.us/X8BDMF8KKlQ

Fair point so I'll elaborate on this. The only time I post JewTube links is when its to an official account like this guy's reviews or a music bands'.

Otherwise I try to post links to Odysee or BitChute.

Remind me again who wins?

Knipex for performance and irwin for price?

Malco for performance, Irwin and Craftsman for the price.

Oddly enough Knipex weren't that great in this one.

Malco Eagle Grips are made in the USA at the old Irwin facility using new tooling. Those Irwins are pretty good because they still use the old tooling now located in China.

Yeah I went into detail in other posts, but Project farm reminded me of a few other quality American brands. I bought some Klein diagonal cutters instead of Channel Locks for that reason.

And I'll admit that I've bought a few cheap Irwin items for the family to use while my personal toolbox is America first. Channel Lock, Klein, Ridgid, & Estwing for starters.

Damn, SnapOn and Matco weren't even invited to this dance.

That probably would have blown his budget. Especially considering he already had Malco and Knipex in there.

Malco was the big one that many people wanted to see. Now that word is getting around that they reopened the old Irwin factory with all new tooling.

Irwin had taken everything and shipped it all to China.

Gotta be honest, I've never heard of Malco, i need to do some research, sounds interesting and every little bit helps in keeping money out of China's pocket

I just found out about a few weeks ago when looking up made in USA channel locks.

So when PF dropped this video I just had to share it.

I guess I'm going back to the hardware store for some Irwin vice grips. In the last Project Farms test Irwins 8 inch diagonal cut pliers performed very well and had a cheap price so I grabbed a pair for the tool box.

My personal toolbox is American first. But I have a few Irwin items for the family so they're not digging into my tools.

Channel Lock is my preferred brand. But I bought some Klein diagonal cutters instead after a Project Farm video. I also have a pair of Irwin diagonal cutters for the family.

It appears that some of Irwin's tools are still made with the old American tooling that was moved to a Chinese production facility. So they tend to be slightly better than the other made in China brands.

I already have some older Vice Grips from my parents. So I'm able to wait while saving up to buy a set of Malco's various & .

Irwin generally has given the best value, it's pretty impressive! Made in USA would be better, but sometimes you just need a tool for one job. I'll admit, this video reminded me I don't have a pair of vice grips. Brb.
