Video Transcript for Review of Performance Tool - Hand Tools - Tin Snip Set - PT79ZR

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this three-piece aviation tin snips set has a left cut snip, a right cut snip and a center cut snip. Now these are aviation tin snips, which makes it easily which will allow you to easily cut tight curves and straight lines. Now regular tin snips are used to cut sheet metal in simpler cases have worked pretty much just like scissors. These are aviation snips. As the name suggests, they we're developed to cut metal in aviation manufacturing industry, but they're still used by HVAC techs and other trades people.

Aviation snips basically are able to exert a higher force compared to other types of snips of the same size because of the design of their linkage. These have a nice ergonomic grip tool. They do use the non-slip serrated chrome Vanadium jaws. And again you can see this set will include an left cut aviation snip. So in other words, when you unlock this one and you go to cut, that's gonna cut left for you.

You can see how that sort of curves, and they do put it as a color. so you know which one's which. That's a red color. The right cut. In other words, you unlock it again.

And once you unlock it and you're cutting this way you can see it curves that way, so it'll go to the right You're gonna lock that one. And then the center cut which allowed to go in a straight line again, if you unlock that one. And you could see the jaws are actually made to go in a straight line. So it gives you three different ones. But that should do it for the review on the three piece aviation tin snips set..

  • How to Trim Rear Fascia for Installing etrailer.com Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Honda CR-V
    I can definitely give you some pointers on how to trim the fascia for installing the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # E98848 on your 2018 Honda CR-V. If you check out the attached photos you can see that the lower rear fascia needs a 3"x3" square cut out 5/8" from that center hole location. I recommend using a permanent or chalk marker to mark where you need to cut out and then use snips like the Tin Snip # PT79ZR for a clean and accurate cut. Once the cut is completed the trailer...

  • Available Sizes of Travel Trailer Screen Door Slide
    RV makers typically do not keep track of smaller items like the screen door slides they install in their travel trailers like your tandem axle 2012 Crossroads RV Sunset Trail Reserve 26BH. I wish I had a way to look up this part of the trailer for you but it is doubtful that even the folks at Crossroads would have this specific information. But on the positive side, most of the replacements available are one of three fairly similar sizes, 11-11/16 x 11-7/8, 12 x 10-3/4 and 12 x 11-1/2-inches....

  • Lightweight Platform Bike Rack for a 2017 BMW 5 Series
    You're in the right direction for the Class I hitch, as the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT, part # TH92BJ is a great choice for a lot of different bikes. The DoubleTrack is fairly easy to load and the unique way that the frame clamps are mounted on the bike rack allows for you to mount in a variety of ways to the frame. I also appreciate that the DoubleTrack has an integrated lock system and its anti-rattle and sway is outright impressive. An extremely lightweight option if you're OK with...

  • Replacement Ceiling Garnish and Gasket for Fan-Tastic Vent Model 2000RDMS
    Your Fan-Tastic Vent model 2000RDMS is a standard 14 x 14-inch RV roof vent and you can select an interior ceiling garnish trim ring from the linked page. We have white and off-white garnishes in various depths, and this depth is called the leg length. For instance, part # FVK2040-80 is an off-white garnish with a 4-1/2-inch leg length and we have models with longer leg length too. You can easily trim these down to a shallower depth using tin snips # PT79ZR or a small rotary cutting tool...

  • Carrying 4 Bikes on a 2017 Subaru Outback Touring Wagon with a Factory Hitch
    Class I hitches are always limited to only two bikes, as the weight of any bikes past the second can cause the forces applied to the hitch to be magnified, risking damage to the bike rack, vehicle or hitch. If you provide me with a little more information about your vehicle, I can make a better recommendation to fit more than two bikes onto your vehicle.

  • Using a Kuat NV1 With a 2 Inch Shank on a 2009 Mini Clubman
    I have a solution for you, but for the 2009 Mini Clubman, there is only a single trailer hitch receiver available for your vehicle, the Curt Class I hitch, part # C11387. I've included a link to our installation tips to help your install go as smoothly as possible. You'll need to trim the fascia with tin snips like part # PT79ZR. You could technically use your existing Kuat NV1, but you'll need to use a hitch adapter like part # HTAD, the problem is that this will reduce your hitch's tongue...

    There are a few things you'll want to keep an eye out for on your picks, but they are all around solid ones. On the Curt Class III, part # C13105, you have to trim the fascia underneath the car, and you'll need something like tin snips, part # PT79ZR to do this easily. I've included our trailer hitch installation guide plus a video of our team installing the hitch on a 2004 Toyota Sienna so you can get an idea of how this process works. For the Curt 4 Bike Premium Rack, part # C18064,...

  • Bike Rack for a 2015 Mini Countryman
    Depending on exactly how you're wanting to mount the bikes to your vehicle, you have a couple of options. Racks either attach to a trailer hitch receiver below the bumper or attach via straps and rest on the bumper with a trunk-mounted option. If you're looking for a simple, direct fit with no installation of a hitch, you'll be extremely happy with a trunk mounted solution. For this, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 bike rack, part # Y02634. This is a fully featured rack that lets...

  • Best Tool for Trimming Size of Roof Vent Garnish Trim Ring
    When you need to trim a roof vent's plastic garnish trim ring like part # FVK1060-81 it is best to do so indoors so that the plastic is at room temperature. This will reduce its brittleness and chance of cracking or shattering. The warmer the plastic material is the easier it will be to trim it cleanly. A set of sharp tin snips like # PT79ZR is an ideal tool for the job since they provide safety and control, as compared to a utility knife. One of those will work too but there is greater...

  • Replacement Ceiling Garnish Trim Ring for Travel Trailer Roof Vent
    Your vent's screen part number VD0434 tells us you have a standard 14 x 14-inch roof vent and so you can select an interior ceiling garnish trim ring from the linked page. We have these in various shades of white and off-white and with different leg lengths such as the birch white Ventline # VA0445-28 which has a leg length (height) of 4-1/4-inches. If necessary garnishes can be trimmed down to provide an exact fit to match your roof thickness. The best way to do this is with a small rotary...

  • Carrying an Electric Bike and an Electric Trike with a 2005 Toyota Prius
    I may have a solution for you, but the 2005 Toyota Prius will not be able to carry these bikes on a traditional bike rack. Instead, you'll need to use a hitch-mounted cargo carrier and tie downs in order to carry these bikes. For a hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame Hitch, part # 24808. This Class I hitch will provide a mounting point for your bikes. I've included a video of this being installed on a 2005 Toyota Prius. This doesn't involve drilling, though you may...

  • Best E Bike Carrier for a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe for Girls E-Bikes
    For any kind of an alternate frame e-bike, your best rack is always going to be a wheel-mount, platform style carrier that fits into a trailer hitch. This is because the weight capacity and ease of loading are the best possible solution for carrying your e-bikes safely and easily. One of my favorite racks for e-bikes is the Yakima HoldUp, part # Y02443 . It is a wheel mount carrier that can hold a massive 60lbs per bike on a Class III hitch. It includes an integrated hitch and cable lock...

  • Bike Racks For a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica That Doesnt Impact Lift Gate Hatch Use
    For a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, you can choose between a hitch mounted rack and a trunk mounted rack. The biggest reason for one over the other would be what kind of bikes you have. If you have a lot of standard framed bikes and don't mind giving up the use of the rear hatch, or you have a Hybrid model, a trunk mounted carrier like the Yakima FullBack 3 Bike Rack, part # Y02633 is a good pick. This is a fully featured rack that includes an integrated bike lock and a security strap for the...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver and Hitch Bike Rack for a 2012 Volkswagen Passat
    Hitch mounted bike racks are not routinely tested with specific vehicles, so manufacturers do not offer a fit guide for vehicles. Instead, they are designed to fit specific trailer hitch sizes. That being said, the Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT, part # TH92BJ is a great choice for a smaller vehicle like the 2012 Volkswagen Passat. Its able to carry bikes up to 35 pounds and at only 32 pounds itself, allows for quite a bit of carrying capacity on a Class I hitch. Additionally, the integrated...
