#1 I mean that's kinda how vacuums work. They just add a suction to try and collect the debris. Though the drill will probably have higher RPM and torque to the brush element.
caledric
most people use a shop vac on their car mats. This brush would be useless for me however as I have all weather rubber mats.

#1 Audi?
fleetmind
I’ve got a drill-brush set. They are fantastic, especially for cleaning the shower. Gets the soap scum off the glass doors and corners like nothing else. I need to find more uses for them, planning to try them for stripping varnish off an antique rocker

#2 but what about cleaning it off?
Lucallia
#13 If you're going to show off a window cleaning product perhaps show it on a window THAT ACTUALLY NEEDS CLEANING. For all I know all that thing does on a smudged window is spread the smudge more.

Wtf is #6?

an add-on for a camera that leaves the glass clean

#1 I tried this for a while after seeing it online, I don't know if the brush I used was too stiff but I noticed it started putting wear and tear the mats after a couple of washes, and it's really not that much better than using a brush you can hold in your hand.

#5 great tool being used poorly. Dude left several gaps along the way
homoerection
As a professional painter it looks fine to me.
SeeYaLaterMethamphetaGator
agreed, but i have found that a double layer of tape helps prevent bleed through so its a good idea to back and tape the edge again anyway. or maybe my tape is shit
lordnequam
Caulk is also a good way to prevent bleed-through.
Felderburg
Good thing this post also has the caulk finger!
...although I'm not sure that attaching protective plastic to the walls with caulk is the best way to do things.

Nut splitter works, but it's never somewhere that easy. Everytime I've used it the nut was almost disintegrated with rust

#9 cutting live wire, spicy.
mikeatike

You also don't need to put both wires into the switch. Being able to make/break the connection anywhere in the circuit is sufficient to switch on/off.
ramonlambal
That really depends on the smart switch, some do want the 0 connected, others don't
Toasterlovin
The switch itself needs a neutral now to function, but you're right that a normal switch would only need one(the hot). If memory serves me right, I believe code asks for electricians to leave a length of neutral in the box for things like this.
IdRatherBeOnThePlaystation
Does the wall switch need a battery or some sort of supply?
Toasterlovin
Looking at it, seems that "extra" switches are battery powered.
Estitabarnak
I'm amazed that I had to go so far down in the comments to find anyone mentioning the cutting of the live wire.
DaPopeM
As long as it's 12volt you be ok
Acegammer5
Probably a battery circuit. Low voltage/amp for demo reasons rather than practical. Showing that the circuit is live and that the setup isn't a trick.
alexburgers
I love your optimism but those are all mains powered components that don't even work with lower voltages..
ProxyPlayerHD
almost all, the breaker will work (as a switch) regardless of voltage. but the rest (light bulb and switch controller) do need mains

#2 how do you clean this stuff? Or does it get “full” until you can’t use it anymore
Detoc
Force it through a strainer. Then use a second glob of goo to clean the strainer.
Snooj
Typically you watch a video like this, make an impulse buy, and realize how much it sucks.
Quixus
#9 Hardly something new but where to put the relay switch?
localsurfer
I have these switches in my house. The relays are hidden in the loft space or under the stairs.
Quixus
And you have to replace/remove all the traditional switches unless you want the ability to easily shut off all the wifi switches, right?
localsurfer
I was rewiring the house so not an issue for me, but yes the old switches become redundant.

#9 I have these in my house and they're great. You can set one switch to operate more than one light, and also the switches don't use batteries, they use the power from the movement of the switch. You can reset which switch does what, or even have a mini switch on your keyring.

Wow !

Immediately. Of course

hopguy
The more expensive/important it is the faster I would lose something. At $250 I would lose it unboxing.
Soboredwithlife
#5 Would never hire this guy. He's fucking useless. The point of the tape is to get as close to the corner as possible. Not an inch away.
DAUKAR
I've seen painters do it this way and then come back with a 1" roll of tape and tape to the line, easier to do then holding that masking machine. I'm not talking about hack painters either.
SignedEpsteinsMother
He tapes off like he's a landlord
Snooj
This might be dust remediation, not for painting. Protecting the kitchen area from construction.
Sanztrack
This is probably just a demo and not an actual job
PileOfWalthers
Right? I tried this stuff decades ago and it's a great idea in theory, but utterly useless in practice.
vonbaronhans
really? I used a roll of this stuff once (maybe 15 years ago?) and it worked pretty well. At least it was easier than tape and tarp separate.
PileOfWalthers
Learning how to properly cut in gives a much cleaner and better looking result.
vonbaronhans
I mean, I don't disagree. But some people don't want or need to learn a pro level skill, including me!
PileOfWalthers
Understood. No worries LOL
chicoson
Probably just a demonstration. But yeah.
Fruc
Thought the same, but figured the device is not good at getting in THIGHT with the tape so he’ll prolly do an actual tape job after.
MrsHowVeryDareYou
I thought that too, but it’s possible this is just to get the plastic up quickly and then he goes over it with more tape at the top. He’s not even really smoothing it out fully and that amount of tape seems a little flimsy to hold all that plastic up on its own. Or this is just for demonstration.
vonbaronhans
I've used this sort of thing before minus the applicator (just a roll of the film + pre-applied tape). The sheet is very thin and light and doesn't pull the tape down in my limited experience with it. Definitely easier to put up than tape and tarp separate.
theshinobi23
Just for demonstration is the correct answer. Getting it up quickly does no good if you have to go back and fill in the gaps you left. Faster and cheaper to just do it right the first time and not need the additional materials to go back over it.
MrsHowVeryDareYou
OR they have another cool tool to help with painting edges and this is just to protect the majority of the cabinets from random drips or dust.
theshinobi23
Nah. That wouldn't explain the corner he left with it 45d across, cutting off access to it. Definitely just a demonstration of how it works, not a worker actually using it.
cavymeister
Personally, I tape the edge first, then can quickly run the tape/plastic wrap on top of the other tape. But this way can work as well if you go back and tape the fine edge better.
nowinsituation
the tape and plastic is just to prevent splatter on the cabinets. When you cut in with a brush you don;t need tape- professionals just have a steady hand. In fact if tape is just on the edge and you paint over it carelessly, well you peel it away it can take paint off the wall...
LunaLucia
You're meant to take the tape off before the paint dries, if you leave it on for too long the paint can soak through and/or it will rip the paint when you pull it off.
kojitaru
For soak through (hue hue) you can take page from model painting and dry brush the edge to form a light seal. Considerations for the actual paint coat and not letting that dry too long remain
homoerection
Not necessarily. Tape is much better now and prevents paint from seeping in. Am professional painter
nowinsituation
I rarely use tape unless it is something really particular- I just cut in with a steady hand. Sometimes with stains I use tape.
homoerection
Same. I only use tape if I need super crisp lines, like edges of door/window casing.
AtlantisTheLostEmpire
I found the source: https://www.facebook.com/reel/3478852552413591
Video title: "Will get it close with the blue tape them put a precision line tape over the top to straighten it up"
I'm no painter, but is he more stupid than we thought?
homoerection
Nah, he’s doing a fine job. If you need it taped all the way to the corner then you go back over with another round of tape. Chances are he’s just protecting the new cabinets from dust, but if he is painting, like someone else already pointed out, he’ll hand cut up to the cabinets.
EaNasirsExcellentHighGradeCopper
yeah, look at the gap along the time as well. defeats the purpose of using that shit, still gonna have paint all over the top of the cabinet
littleredrocketinpocket
What a hypercritical douche. Highly likely life is bored with you.

#1 I use rubber mats + pressure washer, which works out well. I'm not a big fan of carpet mats in a car, as they tend to get soggy and muddy in a way you can't really clean.
AxeDropper
I found a flat round brush for my drill wish soapy water works better on the rubber mats than a pressure washer. I have this brush kit: https://www.amazon.com/Drill-Brush-Scrubber-Useful-Products/dp/B08WK5B63R
jodu
Sure, but you use carpet for the look and feel, not for its practicality. That reminds me, probably time to change to rubber for the winter season!
drcookieninja
Exactly, the summer they're great, winter... Yikes
TerribleBot
Depends where you live.
Here in Paris, it's a good solution, well adapted to weather and good look
MapleSyrupMafia
And you'll change car before having to replace rubber mats. I've had my share of cars with torn carpet mats, your feet moves around a lot more with a stick shift. Most of my driving was done to go to work and work boots aren't exactly kind on carpet.
MangaSpawn
Yeah for the cloth ones the brush is helpful to loosen things and is very good for getting pet hair up out of the carpet. Still good to go over with a vacuum after.
Plifplafpluff
Then shampoo to get rid of the smell
Baconlovesyoutoo
Compressed air and then a vacuum.
MangaSpawn
Yeah that works also. I’ve found the brush it the most useful for pet hair though. Dirt and debris air or brush then vacuum works great.

#2 Every time I see something like this I wonder how you clean it. It's supposed to be re-useable, right?
DukeElectra
I can’t begin to express how filthy my shifter knob gets and how often it must be polished. Take my money!
RandallKavanaugh
I too would like my knob polished - alas, I also may need to resort to purchasing said service.
Minoes
I feel like a vacume cleaner would work in most of those cases
MangaSpawn
Yeah these are crap. A small vacuum is more useful.

That's the neat part...
caledric
I've bought several of these and they all suck. None of them work like in the video
Steed
Quell surprise...
rojelioenescabeche
But do they grip your “gearshift”?
MoopsyLD
the ones specifically shown in the video do work because the formula they use is cranked up compared to the shit common ones. and if the common ones cant work like the demonstration then its all shit.
Snooj
Do they at least work once?
caledric
nope

#5 Why do they have four ovens?
smokiesmurf
I would if I could afford it, but I'd also have a more functional kitchen
SirChadwellHeath
Kosher? (requires separate equipment for meat and dairy)
thatguyfromny
Good guess but wouldn't that be just a double oven?
itsallaboutthecones
Because they have "fuck you, I have four ovens" money. Maybe they entertain frequently?
cosonfused
Maybe some are a microwave and/or steamoven.
breadandpizza
Office kitchen?

I remember seeing a woman putting in a second (very expensive) extractor fan for no other purpose than "I like the symmetry" (I don't think it was even plugged in).

Nah. If that were the case here they'd be a better class of oven.
SillyCircuits
Probably for baking stuff
AnotherSnarkyComment
They want to do four cooking!

Why don't you? Oh right, money.

Tiny kitchen. My wife says ours in a Eazy-Bake oven.
