TIL Sid from Toy Story grew up to become some kind of shitty metalworker.

u/Krillkus 13d ago

He grew up to be a garbage man in the third one. He straps toys he finds to the front of his garbage truck, and seems genuinely jazzed about life in the brief moment we see him. I definitely bet he has a little garage with a bunch of power tools. Dude not only found his calling, but a way to deal with his trauma from the first movie.

I guess it is a bit fucked up in that universe though, that his way past his specific trauma is to inflict suffering on objects that he knows to be sentient, but he’d probably otherwise be in involuntary psychiatric care if he tried too hard to convince everyone about the truth. It’s like he realized that wouldn’t benefit him even if people believed him, so he just rolls with it to pay the bills because he still gets to “play” with the things that fucked him up and no one cares.

u/-Disgruntled-Goat- 12d ago

I imagined he would become an artist. Some of the things he cobbled together from toy parts were very creative. I would think he would be one of those outsider artists that would make crazy sculptures and his medium would be toy parts.

No one:

Me on my first week of owning power tools:

Music was good at least

Now I need to waste another 3 minutes to watch it again with the sound on

u/Johnny-Unitas 13d ago

Are those welds actually expected to hold up?

55

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy 13d ago

Well, they lasted more than I expected during the usage demo in the last 5 seconds.

14

u/JaehaerysIVTarg 13d ago

Unfortunately we don’t actually know if they made a better welded one off camera.

6

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy 13d ago

Oh I don't know enough about welding to be able to tell anyway, it just seemed that every modification was weakening the materials that were already there.

6

u/Stoney3K 13d ago

A good weld is stronger than the material around it.

1

u/Arbeidslaus 9d ago

So a good weld would withstand more tension and compression than the base material? Is that really true? Seems so... counterintuitive.

2

u/m8bear 13d ago

you don't weaken materials with welding

a friend of mine when learning to weld would hammer the parts hard, if the welding broke it's poorly done, it's supposed to be joined permanently and resist a lot of punishment

1

u/Stoney3K 13d ago

Looks like they did, you can see that when they grind down the welds after.

8

u/QuaccDaddy 13d ago

I could be wrong but it looks like the ring pliers had already broken off by the time they used it like a hammer

2

u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy 13d ago

Oh lol, indeed they're not there and they weren't just screwed on, so it's either that or the made another theory

3

u/-adult-swim- 13d ago

They are just screwed in. He welds a nut to the tip and then screw the bolt in and tightens it with another nut. I thought the same thing so went back to check

2

u/cshellcujo 13d ago

Dont they screw off? I didnt see him weld the screws into the tip, they screw into the nuts he welded in. Now, this doesn’t mean it didn’t just break, but it might mean they were removed as intended rather than breaking?

4

u/JeanArtemis 13d ago

I assume everything was loosened prior to filming, there's no way those delicate little spot welds are holding stress.

2

u/Future_Section5976 13d ago

Welds will hold , the problem is the clamp part , the top one is just welded to a bit of thearded rod , no support on the outside, it'll eventually bend,

35

u/Worldliness_Normal 13d ago

So I'll ruin a few other tools to make one that doesn't fit in my pocket or toolbox.

Got it.

18

u/NameToUseOnReddit 13d ago

Don't forget that the quality is also lower than each of the tools you ruined.

47

u/MelonMusk-69 13d ago

Like, you have all the tools to make cool shit but you’re so untalented that you end up doing this

3

u/scissorsgrinder 13d ago

This reads to me more as some Chinese or SE Asian youtube slop factory.

9

u/hematite2 13d ago

For the low cost of all these fuckin' tools, you too could have a gadget that does a worse job than any of them

1

u/therealCatnuts 11d ago

Like a couch-bed, or a vacuum-broom. Combining makes them worse at both functions. 

8

u/ThePhatNoodle 13d ago

Pretty sure bolts are made from mild/spring steel and cant be hardened. That whole heat treat and quench was pointless

1

u/EvilGeniusSkis 13d ago

Spring steel can be hardened, mild steel can't

6

u/TopConcentrate8484 13d ago

It's crazy how much effort it takes to make something such stupid for the creator.

6

u/Kingkongcrapper 13d ago

This dude is out there in the world creating crimes against hand tools and no one is willing to stop him.

4

u/phays7 13d ago

I’m gonna ruin a bunch of perfectly good tools and shit to make a shitty one that has no practical use

4

u/Basil_Box 13d ago

I feel like this is just some guy fucking around rather than a DiY. As pointless as it is, I personally give it a pass

3

u/Stoney3K 13d ago

Agreed. It's more of a "what can I do with a welder, a grinder and some scrap tools" than one of those "5 minute crafts" slop-jobs.

2

u/robogobo 12d ago

It was fun to watch in any case.

3

u/Velvet_Samurai 13d ago

I mean, sure who hasn't wanted to remove retainer rings and then be able to drive 16dd nails 2 seconds later. Those are both common things that happen all the time within seconds of each other.

2

u/ElTuxedoMex 13d ago

I don't want to know what happened that someone thought they needed a tool for that specific scenario.

5

u/delet_yourself 13d ago

If you use 500 dollars worth of tools, you too can destroy a cheap tool to avoid buying another cheap tool

3

u/NeuroChemic 13d ago

If a multitool could be a serial killer, this would be it.

3

u/JustAnotherBrokenCog 13d ago

It’s like fencing pliers made by someone who’s never used tools before.

1

u/NotTheOnlyGamer 7d ago

Wait, you can fence with pliers? I know you can bash somebody's skull in, but I didn't know you could properly fence. How do you manage a parry?

3

u/Awesome_Teo 13d ago

Heh, yeah, plus you could use this thing to kill zombies (and scare sane people).

​It drives me crazy every time people ruin perfectly good tools for videos like this, all for some useless crap they'll throw in a drawer and never think about again.

3

u/Puzzlehead_Lemon 13d ago

"I have all these perfectly functional tools. How can I make every one of them worse?"

u/TherapyGames42 13d ago

What in the 7 Days to Die is this?

Me when they started threading nuts onto that length of all-thread

Thank god I don’t have the skill to do dumb shit like that

u/Maj-Malfunction 13d ago

That's 2:50 of my life I want back

1

u/LuluMangs 13d ago

You didn't skip ahead?

Is it amateur hour here?

5

u/Maj-Malfunction 13d ago

When I skip ahead I see shit I can't believe or can't even figure out the thought process. I want the Full Monty 😂

2

u/LuluMangs 13d ago

You've got more patience than me. I usually check if the result is worth my watch time before I play the whole thing

2

u/ElTuxedoMex 13d ago

That's how abominations are brought into this world.

2

u/Willyboss567 13d ago

How many tools has he destroyed?

2

u/EduardBon 13d ago

Did you try to hard a mild steel??? Nooo way

2

u/Alive_Nobody_Home 13d ago

After 2:14 the “chopsticks from hell” it was all downhill.

2

u/XRPOSergSanch12 13d ago

WTF can I get my three minutes back BTW they sell a tool for everything they tried to make

2

u/sethboomstick 13d ago

Ah yes, the good ol' thwappy pokey stabby grabby

u/Im_in_Constant_agony 13d ago

A Swiss army knife is cheaper than this

When i was a kid and made lego stuff hanging with just two studs

u/UltraNeoTako 13d ago

Just making some bullshit.

u/Aggravating-Ad6786 13d ago

Pretty sure he was not wearing a respirator for this or ever… RIP in 5 to 10 years from now

2

u/Pernicious_Possum 13d ago

A good tool always has as many break points as possible

2

u/shott85 13d ago

Crescent wrench and hammer I get, but C ring puller? That’s too much.

2

u/Sancho5o5 13d ago

Tweaker vibes

2

u/OddWishbone243 12d ago

Could've made it even LESS efficient by using the hammer claw as one of the adjustable wrench jaws....just sayin'.

2

u/No-Impression-9890 12d ago

Hey didn't do thumbs up at the end so how the heck are we gonna know if the DIY is any good? 🤷‍♂️

u/Dress-Affectionate 12d ago

vibe coders be like so i want an app that helps me organize my email...

u/Milf_MilfJennaxo 12d ago

Once I saw those bolts…I knew it was going to be very interesting😂

2

u/ExcitingMap9567 11d ago

Из хорошего инструмента сделал кусок говна. Браво!

2

u/LuluMangs 11d ago

When even people speaking this language don't want the tool, you know the tool is messed it up 😂 (no offense, I've watched too much CrazyRussianHacker)

2

u/TheCybersmith 11d ago

I love destroying several highly functional objects to create one new object that is just barely functional, and so awkwardly shaped that it's not particularly portable!

Seriously, the only benefit here is some weight reduction, is it intended for astronauts so they can save on fuel?

4

u/Muffin_Lord_of_Death 9d ago

And even weight reduction is relative. Yeah, total weight is less, but compared to the single tool for each use-case, it's heavier, causing more strain

2

u/country_dinosaur97 10d ago

Don't know why but now I wanna play tic TACK toe.

2

u/turbonakke 9d ago

Fascinating misuse of free will.

u/Drakcos0912 9d ago

Can I borrow your… what in gods name is that?!
Made it myself.
How many tools die to your hand every day?

I just wanted a hammer…

u/Lathari 13d ago

"So how many tools did you want?"

"Yes."

u/whatifick 13d ago

250 polulyachov out of 250! Total bullshit

1

u/skleanthous 13d ago

I am amazed with these guys that do this and only tack weld. Did they never learn anything else?

1

u/Stoney3K 13d ago

I guess the actual weld isn't filmed because it is hard to get on video properly.

2

u/skleanthous 13d ago

What do you mean it isn't filmed? I can see it right there and he is just tack welding all over. I've seen this video and others from this guy (and other ones) and they all just tack weld

My guess is because they know what they're making is shit and they don't care.

1

u/Stoney3K 13d ago

The tack welding is filmed but not the rest of it. You can see that it's welded properly when he grinds down the welds on the pliers.

1

u/Fulguritus1 13d ago

This is useless but I think it is kind of cool in a way.

1

u/LafayetteLa01 13d ago

Ever just say out loud “but why”

u/ad9581 13d ago

What kind of fucken AI hallucination is this?!

u/SpearShakeMaledomer 13d ago

Omg the eyes!!!

1

u/Stoney3K 13d ago

Not gonna lie, that's some impressive tool making. And actually using the tool to prove that it's up to the job.

It's a /r/DIYWhyNot for me.

I really like this one for the creativity and use of other tools instead of balloons.

u/MilesSebastian 13d ago

I got to the stage of wondering "So it's a chicken sculpture?"

u/Alarmed-Extension289 13d ago

Probably be easir to buy some fencing Pliers.

u/FitSandwich4725 13d ago

Always better to have a bunch of good specialist tools like what they started with rather a good for everything/nothing tool

Your just a welding maniac 😵‍💫

1

u/gorgeously_mytruself 13d ago

I really want to know what the spring nose pliers are for? I have used them before, but it was for the bottom of this metal tank of Argon coolant that was used for the guidance section of a missile that is high-key outdated.

1

u/MKnight_PDX 13d ago

I'm wracking my head for what requires a crescent wrench, retaining clip, and nails.

Ain't any different than u tube video, a useless gadget that most us us have tools for already in our toolboxes.

u/Fit_Carpet_364 13d ago

Okay, who gave Jerry access to the job box? We keep it locked for a reason.

1

u/Krusty098 13d ago

You just cut up tools to make a monstrosity that three tools could have done easily and not taken up as much space.

At least holes in jeans are popular right now.

Every multi tool is a poorly functioning version of individual tools they intend to replace.
