A condom could have prevented this post.. 🙄
More like mechanic is astounded by the stupidity of this so called technique
Total Absolute Unequivocal Failure. 🤔
stupid is as stupid said it is.
Or he could have bought a post clamp.😲
Dullest cutting razor knife ever! Change the blade!
You’re shitting me, right ?
hell no
junk
That is clearly NOT a Mechanic. And its definately not a battery cable.
Batteries make and gives off a high explosive gas a hydrogen type gas no open flame around a battery I’ve seen sparks make one explode carefully this is dangerously stupid
lame
Umm, what about that exposed wire ?
something ain't right here❗
why? for what? why?
😂😂 what a grape
Raw dogging it
McGruber!
that's the dumbest thing I ever seen, how about a battery connection..just saying😳
why are you using a razer blade like it's a hack saw and also don't call yourself a mechanic because it's insulting to those that truly are......
The sad thing is that somewhere will be a soul that will try this and get toasted. So many red flags.🥺
yeah that will never get hot enough to melt and catch on fire
Battery terminals aren't that expensive🙄
#1 If it's an emergency this type of connection could easily be made with electrical tape and the same zip ties minus the flaming plastic b.s. which not only give off toxic fumes youre breathing (which could explain alot, like why this video exists), but can also cause vapors escaping the battery to ignite causing an acid fueled explosion.(ie even if you do survived you'll look like 2 faces twin. reference batman the dark knight)
Where u learn this in special skill class like ur special skill teacher mechanic teaching u how to do junks shit lol u have very bright future 😂
I mean, if you’re stranded and you need to get home
come on how long do you think that would last
no electrical tape didn't twist the ends the connection with fail by each of the individual tensile strength of that copper breaking theirs a reason you twist the ends together. copper is a weak metal it needs to be twisted to keep it from breaking
You don’t have a flame by a battery. Somebody wants people to try it and get seriously hurt
plus that plastic is gonna short your current!!!
pair of terminals is $9 for fk sake
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄uh no people don't be doing this
Looks like a #12 wire where a #6 or a #4 should be ever heard the phrase current draw🤔🤔🤔
that's so damn I don't do that is stupid
This is exactly what not to do.
what the fuck was that??
glad he's not my mechanic
no
This is the stupidist thing I’ve ever seen if only there was no such thing as terminals
I can see how this might come in handy if you come out in the morning late to go to work and find someone has stolen your battery clamps. Other than that...
Why tho? Just why???
Safety first when time permits
I wouldn’t call that brilliant!!
now u tweaking
nope
battery can explode with fire that close to it
So why not get a regular battery terminal and put it on. You know fix it the right way
Now brainless tik-tok morons will think this is the proper way to hook to a battery.
you got lucky this time an open flame next to a battery I've seen them cause explosions
