Review of Performance Tool Tools - Wrench Set - PT79VR

Ellen: Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to take a quick look at the wrench set from Performance Tools. This gives you both a SAE or standard American size and also metric. And the nice thing about it is that it does come in this carrying case, and it gives you a quick way to set that up, have your wrenches right at the ready wherever you might be going. And I think this is a pretty good set to have, a pretty cost-effective wrench set. The case is not the highest quality, but it works pretty well. So I don't know how long it's going to last you, but as far as getting things in and out, it seems to be pretty easy. more

Review of Performance Tool Tools - Drill and Driver Bit Set - PT53VR

Ellen: Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to take a quick look at the Performance Tools - Drill and Bit Driver Set.This comes with a whole bunch of stuff to make sure that you can do just about any job around the house. So it's pretty typical. It's going to have a lot of the different sizes and different stuff that you want. I'm not going to go through each and every part, just because you can read all those parts that are listed out on our product page here at etrailer.com.But as far as how it's going to be to actually use this kit, it seems like it's a pretty good one. I think it would maybe be a little bit annoying if you're going to be using it every day, just because it can be kind of tricky to get some of these pieces out.On the bit driver side, I also noticed that there's a coating on this stuff, a lot of them that's kind of sticky. I'm not really sure why, if they tried to just put some kind of layer on there to make sure that they don't rust But when you pick them up, they just kind of have this tackiness to them, which is not the coolest thing. more

Review of Performance Tool Tools - Spline Socket Set with Hand Tools - PT47ZR

Hey everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the Universal Spline Socket set. This gives you a lot of options in a relatively small kit. It only has 52 pieces, but it would be equivalent to about 189 normally. So that spline designed to that allows you to use one socket for multiple different sizes. And it should allow you to save some space, reduce the amount of things you have to carry around with you. more

Ellen: Hey, everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and we're going to be taking a quick look at the 15/16" socket with 3/8" driver.

This helps to tighten down any kind of nut or bolt to get things in place. A lot of different bike racks or cargo carriers will use this size for hitch mounted accessories or for their anti-rattle bolt on those hitch mounted accessories, so this can be pretty helpful to get those things tightened down really nice and snug so you don't have any worries about bouncing around on the road. As you can see, it's a six point design, so that'll grip onto any kind of hex bolt or hex nut. It's made out of a durable steel with chrome plating, so you shouldn't have to worry about it rusting out on you. more

Performance Tool Tap and Drill Bit Review- Video

Performance Tool Tap and Drill Bit Review

Shane: Hey guys, Shane here with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at the Performance Tools Tap and Drill Bit Kit. Now, what this is going to be designed for is on these older vehicles, this is a '14, if you're going to install a hitch, a lot of times the factory rails, or where the hitch attaches to, is into a factory weld nut. With it being open to the elements, a lot of times, those threads on those factory weld nuts get gummed up, they rust and then you can't put the hardware in. Let's say we go to put the hardware in and it strips out the threads in the factory weld nut. It's going to come with a tap and what this tap does is when you pull that bolt out, you run this through because the metal on this is harder than the metal on the factory weld nut.What it does is it creates new threads so that you can then put your bolt in place without it getting stuck or causing any damage. more

Hopkins Never Fade Multipurpose Bubble Level Review

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Hopkins Never Fade Level. So we do have some options when it comes to leveling something like our RV here, but there's some that are going to just be hard mounted that you're just going to keep on the outside, just to keep as a reference point, whenever you are either just kind of bunking up at a campsite, or just putting this in a parking lot for the winter. Whatever it may be, this one isn't going to be a hard mount. Yes, we can put some dual sided tape and stick it wherever we need.But I really do think this is going to be a little bit more handy whenever it can just fit into your pocket really easily. So we're going to go over some of these situations where you might need a level.First thing we'll do is differentiate it from the ones you see here. more

Firestone Tubing Cutter Review- Video

Firestone Tubing Cutter Review

Today we're going to take a look at the Firestone Tubing Cutter, part number F9009. Here's what our Firestone tubing cutter looks like. Our tubing cutter is designed to cut 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch line or hose. When cutting the hose or line, the idea is to cut it clean and square with the line and also without distorting the line as it cuts. Keeping it nice and round for the push fittings is critical. As you can see here, the previous cut is not only jagged but it distorted the line. more

Air Lift Air Hose Cutter Review- Video

Air Lift Air Hose Cutter Review

Today we're going to take a look at the Air Lift tubing cutter, part number AL10530. Our tubing cutter is designed to cut the air lines for tubing from a 1/4 inch up to 1/2 inch in size. Our tubing cutter will allow us to get a clean square cut on the line without crimping or distorting it. As you can see the razor blade portion of our cutter is about 7/8 of an inch wide, this gives us up to and just a little over 1/2 of cutting surface making it easy to cut the 1/4 inch air line making sure we get a clean square cut on the line. Unlike the previous cut, not only is it not straight or square to the line, but it also crimped it, distorting it. By using the tubing cutter it allows us to get a clean square cut on the line without distorting it. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt- Video

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt

Today on this 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt we are going to install part number V58020 from Valley. The first thing we need to do is give ourselves some working room so we are going to lower the exhaust. We are going to do that by spraying down the rubber hangers with some lubricant and then we will pry them off. There are two in the back and there is one going towards the front. We have got the exhaust out of the way so lets find the points on the frame that we have to drill out. There is an oval hole here on the bracket and a round hole. On the round hole is the one we want to mark and drill. We are going to start off with our 1/ 4 inch bit and work our way up and drill it out to 1/ 2 inch bolt size. Then we will go over to the driver side and repeat the same process. These are the parts we are going to use to install to the inside of the frame of the vehicle. We have got this block plate here with a square hole and our carriage bolt and we have got our bolt leader that comes with the kit. 01:12 more
