    lol I didn’t know you could make angle grinders more dangerous but you proved me wrong. Thank you Todd
  • @1992jamo
    What a fantastic mix of sketchy finger removers, and surprisingly good attachments like the belt sander.
  • Next episode; turning a chainsaw into an angle grinder! Great work, very informative on the paint and rust removal. Really helps those who have not had to do a large job, to pick the right tool for it!
  • @ensidfkgnur
    Subjective, maybe, but the rust and paint removal demonstrations were extremely helpful for anyone considering a big job! You might be able to finish a job with any of those products but could save hours and money by using the right one. Another valuable resource from Project Farm. This video feels like I got 2 for 1! Great content, as always!

    CONGRATULATIONS TODD! 3M SUBS! Best channel on YouTube, no bs, you get down to businesses and tell the viewers what they came to hear, you don't play to the camera or tell people useless stories, or information just to hear yourself speak. GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS!
  • Many factories I do work in have banned all wire brushes because of too many people picking broken wires out of body parts. Somewhere on the internet is at least one close-up photo of a wire sticking out of someone's eyeball and that is the one thing which finally got me to be super diligent with eye protection rather than a bit lazy at times. As always, great tests. Wish I could give 2 thumbs up on this one because it is sort of 2 different videos in one.
  • @chrispadilla429
    Space heaters competition would be cool! Point out safety concerns could be helpful as well. Also a garage heater as a separate video. I almost exclusively buy according to testing on your videos when searching a new tool or products. Great work!
  • @drunkskunk00
    That finger sander attachment has a whole world of uses. I found one at harbor freight about 25 years ago and put it on an air grinder. It turned out to be so useful that I left it on and got a second angle grinder. I really like the look of that pipe sander. Maybe I'll be getting a 3rd angle grinder. :D
  • @Tri-Lobe
    The unbelievable danger of all the attachments is next level! The first couple of items seem to be just dangerous and I agree with you that I wouldn't recommend them. The belt sanders were actually useful. Thanks for another great video!
  • @illumitabris
    Not only do I respect you as a great human being doing a service for millions of people by making these videos, I also very much enjoy watching your vids. Thanks.
  • @gregkimura5906
    I had no idea these attachment tools were available. Some do look sketchy, but a couple looked pretty good. The comparison with the rust and paint removal discs/cups was great. Sometimes speed is important, while other times not damaging the old surface matters more. Great test! I learn so much from these videos!
  • @GreenJimll
    The tube belt sander attachment may be very useful for those of us that restore old bicycles. I've had to strip damaged/rusty paint off skip find "gas pipe" frames and I've tended to use flap wheels on an old drill. That looks much better and faster.
  • @octosquatch.
    I had no idea you could make an angle grinder more scary. Thanks for enlightening us. Hope everyone keeps all their fingers and such after being tempted by the chainsaw attachment.
  • @ptc8320
    Would love to see a video of you working through a project (engine rebuild, etc.). One time with all of the top performing tools and another time with all the poorest performing tools. You could then compare the time saved, end quality, etc.
  • @caskwith
    If you have a variable speed angle grinder (you should, they are awesome) then a drill chuck is a great accessory. Not really all that useful for drilling but it allows you to fit all kinds of spindle based attachments to your AG that you wouldn't normally be able to use.
  • @MrReedaltman2011
    Another idea, not sure if you've done it yet but heat resistant spray paint or paints in general (especially considering cost per oz and various additives they offer, abrasion resistance, ect)
  • @BionicDeathclaw
    I never plan on buying most of the things you make videos on but you're always so entertaining while being extremely informative. Hands down the best review channel! If you get the chance I would love to see a video on rotary tools, especially Dremel.
  • You're a braver man than I am. I wouldn't get near a chain saw attachment, a chain saw is something I want a dedicated machine for.
  • I wouldn't have thought that any of those janky looking grinder attachments would be any good, but some of them turned out surprisingly good. Love this channel for exploring weird stuff like this and sorting out the good from the bad so we don't have to waste money
  • Great job! Those 2 sanding belt things actually looked pretty cool.... Also very interesting to see all those pads tested..... Everyone has their "little favorites", so it's interesting to see how the other ones really work.... Very nice. Great job.
