Using power tools the wrong way

last weekend I spent the entire day using power tools the only problem is lumber prices are skyrocketing it was getting late so I sat down at my computer to watch YouTube have you ever seen a video that made you realize something has been missing your entire life this is power tool racing they take power tools stick them on a wooden track and plug them in the most irresponsible dangerous horrible wasteful way to use power tools God I want to do it so bad but they all died the competitions not the people if I want to do it I have to do it myself so I printed out a copy of the official power tool racing handbook and flew to the only state that doesn't give a what you do even if it kills other people Alan where are we right now uh we're in the middle of God damn nowhere but it didn't take long for the backdoor scientists to find out how did we end up here this is the train you got on yes that train you see the airport way yes that's what I told you I don't even believe this I don't know how this could happen and we started building the race track immediately [Music] difficulties [Music] well it works you wanna try it no this doesn't work the rule state we need a 75 foot track which is pretty long but we didn't buy enough wood so our track is only 60 feet long the power source must provide 40 amps at 120 volts each lane will have an extension cord equipped with a standard three-prong Edison connector this will allow the power tools to race without any risk of a high voltage incident and finally at the end of the track is a speed measurement system to see who crossed the Finish Line first and how fast they were going what are you doing well cutting the wires to length with a knife oh whoa was that plugged in welcome to power tool racing [Applause] I like that can I get another Applause our seven contestants are Alan pan of Alan Pam boy from boy boy the backyard scientist Niall blue Alex of I did a thing Charlie of moist critical and William Osmond of William Osmond seven contestants who are going to compete for a grand prize which I have yet to figure out we have a regulation 60-foot power tool racing track and a single power switch to drive all 15 amps of power into both power tools which we don't have we don't have any power tools [Music] I can't believe you leave America America we better not be going on the highway I am jumping out what's going on do not take us on the highway we are not going on the highway the back of the truck Kevin you was ready to take us on the freeway oh my God we almost died Kevin you almost killed me I cannot believe you almost got us on the freeway why I thought it would have been fun Harbor Freight Tools what's your budget um I don't know just don't be unreasonable just okay unreason don't be unreasonable I think I'm gonna do a belt sander I actually wanted to call it belt sander racing but I figured if I told people didn't get anything they'd probably get worse tools am I allowed to use a meter not technically a wheel and then put a leaf blower on the top what are the power tools exist this is bad boy I want this surface conditioning tool because it's like just built like a car already but they don't have any on the Shelf I think maybe they only have the display versions you get two angle grinders and you put them like this so it's like a motorcycle I think that this is loose enough where I could just Evan is brainstorming with a random uh Harbor Freight customer that's the same guy that was and you want to cheat man go buy a high school tell the guy what you're up to the teacher just say hey man what do you see which one can fling a two by four a quarter mile you know I hadn't really thought about how expensive this is going to be no one seemed to care that it was my money and I started getting suspicious that people were adding things they didn't need who picked it that was me that was it you actually want this I didn't I wanted it to for the front of the vehicle if I crashed it anything you buy after this is on your own credit card do you guys have candy do they have all these here they don't I mean Jesus 831.37 gets you all of this two belt Sanders a circular saw a bench grinder four angle grinders leaf blower Wheels a knife and a bunch of other miscellaneous Parts the sponsor of this video pulled out because they did not want to be associated with what's about to happen so I've decided to sponsor the video myself let me tell you about catwarehouse.com catwarehouse.com is the only place on the internet where you can buy cat themed merchandise like this jaccarded catastrophic holiday sweater this sweater is fantastic and it will make you more sexy and I'm not saying that just because I was paid to we've got tube socks that look like cats stuck in a tube a business tie you can wear to work professional on the front and a cry for help on the back we've even brought back a classic that's been in the archive for over 35 years I survived the 1996 cat warehouse company picnic isn't that fun they're running from a bear plus we reprinted some of your favorites like crabs smoking crack Little Willy Cloud forklift certified and of course the legendary inbred cat and you know what even if you don't want any of this craft yourself we've got gift cards that you can give to your friends and family everything is extremely high quality but comes with no warranty you can call our support team but it won't ring because I cut the phone line with a pair of scissors find my merch or the puppy gets it I'm making a Christmas Vehicles it's gonna be like Santa but I got a bunch of little beer bottles for a dollhouse it's gonna be like a drunk Santa so I just bought a pre-built race car so I'm I'm already pretty much done oh it actually works look at that oh yeah I've done that before it's really bad I immediately took it off it's so dangerous no no no no that thing's gonna go like 40 miles an hour Alex is kind of bumping you right now you know what his is gonna do his is gonna like climb right out of the track so what Kevin doesn't know is that he's put his angle grinders the wrong way around and they're gonna speed into each other oh Alexa what are you doing I'm bending this thing back to give more room yeah you're using the wrench like a caveman we don't have any other caveman tools this is the other one if you can show me one caveman in history that's ever used a wrench I'll give you a hundred thousand dollars okay five minute warning everybody what yeah but we've already blown away past the 30 minutes so this is actually like a negative 20 minute warning the good news Nigel is your wheels are crooked but the plank is all the Crickets they're actually not straight right now do you see this things were going bad especially for Nigel he spent all of his skill points on chemistry this is hardly a power tool no we don't need one more yeah Alexa wasn't having much luck either he might have damaged the speed controller on his bench grinder which is bad news because without his speed controller there will be no speed it's all coming together they don't stand a chance like this is cheap I feel like I'm cheating in a miraculous turn of events everyone managed to finish their power tools in only a handful of five minute time extensions so this is mine it's just two angle grinders taped to each other I essentially copied Kevin's design but made it better he's still he's numb no no it doesn't have a name so mine's called Kevin this is mine it's a belt sander Santa's been drinking and he's got two guns I call it Santa's slave mine is a circular saw and it has a face and that's that you guys feel bad for it oh my God his name is uh Diablo lentil means slow devil my one's very scaled back it's all about speed I got rid of all the useless weight oh this was a bench grinder by the way just the most streamlined vehicle you could imagine it is called Kevin 2.0 iris is also a belt sander design we didn't have to do too much but we modified it to be like an aircraft carrier so when it reaches that right velocity this will take off that's it we named it uh Buck Wagon Wheel okay so whoa oh yeah I did a mod ah you spray painted it red like blood yeah you should like squirt some blood on the side so it looks like it's been plowing through yeah actually I'll add that later no dare I know it oh yeah oh no it's all on the track now so I'm like oh no I'll fix that after unlike all these other guys I went with a non-traditional power tool I just got a lead blower but do you have a power cord it didn't come with one oh yeah the name of it ah stabby blowy Alex stole my invention but this is the superior design it uses wire wheels and it's going to be so fast that's a cold it's uh Kevin three points Kevin Kevin Prime Kevin underscore original hyphen 69. Kevin Dash official.org you guys ready for the first race yes erasers are gonna come down the track cross through the beam breaks that's going to give us the speed but it doesn't matter because whoever crosses first is the winner and the first round is you versus me God damn right how you feeling right now I'm feeling pretty good yeah oh that's a mic yeah yeah I feel pretty good how good oh there's no Mikey oh there's Mike yeah yeah I feel pretty good this is bracket race number one three two one hey hey hey what is that unfortunate over there my power cable unplugged look how fast Santa sleigh is once I plugged it back in but Charlie is the winner which means he's moving up in the bracket this is scary I'm scared I'm scared are you ready eraser on your marks get set go oh my God get your power cable in half oh my God it's off it's off oh my God you disqualified [Laughter] Kevin you got a free lunch right now there's nothing Alex can do to stop you three two one they're spinning opposite directions I thought if I flipped them like no you need to flip this one as well on that one oh my God hold on watch out Alex watch out watch out Kevin what are you doing Kevin yeah that's pretty good Kevin switch one of the motors off and it crossed the Finish Line at an astounding 1180 miles an hour I think I think the speed sensor might be broken but that means Kevin is the winner and up next is Nigel vs Alexa who's winning I I can't even say I feel like we're so equally matched oh I was gonna say me for sure I think he's gonna get stuck immediately and then mine will slowly make it to the end that's my point Racers on your marks go [Music] oh Nigel it's working that is working oh my God it's working [Music] still time he's stuck you can do it you can do it I I might still win hey hey we haven't finished yet due to a technicality both races are disqualified what he reached it under the cable and couldn't keep going to pass a man you didn't technically pass the Finish Line because you got bound up by the power guard if you don't cross a Finish Line you can't win the race I don't make the rules up next is me versus Allen what do you think's gonna happen actually I know it's gonna happen what's gonna happen I'm gonna kick your ass not if I kick yours first I'm gonna kiss your ass not if I kiss yours first are we on the same team three whoa well Alan I feel really good about that that was pretty close myth busted I will win every time against you the bracket's pretty messed up because the contestants vehicles are all broken I'm hearing the pits and things are pretty bad I just made some repairs because mine severed both of its you know major arteries oh my Lord why why is it in half it broke while Kevin and Alex were fixing their power tools I rearranged the bracket and started building a ramp I'm making a ram mine goes so fast I reckon I could get three to four feet of air I reckon you're gonna get a meter of air yeah that's what you mean three meters of distance I feel pretty good I spent a lot of time on the warrior Buck what's is that his name yeah you know what I spent a lot of time on so much time what about you guys man it's sick I think this one's for all the marbles this one's so good you and me you know in a really big jump just a head-to-head slobber knocker three two one I like that that was good they did not I don't know we've got like the GoPro set up so they can be like yeah now that Kevin has taped his angle grinders back together it's time for a rematch one oh my God oh it's amazing that was amazing oh my god did I kill the GoPro wait where'd the lid go dude it shot over the GoPro okay it's coming it's coming if it was any lower it would have cut the GoPro right now and then we came up with what might be the best idea ever a jousting match between a belt sander and two angle grinders with saw blades attached I fear I might die only God knows what's gonna happen all right whenever you're ready two one oh you destroyed it I cut my own chord as well was it worth flying across the country and spending thousands of dollars to put together a power tool racing competition yes yes it was and I'd do it again oh it's like rears up oh my God oh you do like a full back flip and then I keep going yes what does he cut his own cable oh yeah suicide well good job Alex thank you good job will good job Charlie we did it this is uh without without a team this wouldn't have happened it was truly an honor working thank you and dying with all of you at the same time there's two more they're just not even on camera that's how it goes every time and then the video just ends find my merch or the puppy gets it
