He's making fun of women, meanwhile he doesn't know the difference between pliers and a wrench.

Great video
just goes to show you that the other 99% of the people could care less about the coo of tools just keep them cheap...and make it left-handed.

And very demeaning towards women. Kind of ironic because he's asking people about a left or right handed "wrench" when in fact he is holding water pump pliers, or channel locks.
Exactly the ironic part is that he is trying to prove women don't know about tools but he himself probably couldn't tell you the difference between a claw hammer and a ball pein hammer.

Not even a wrench a$$ hole! What jerk. Hes no more of a man then the average women. Just the average a-hole. Makes us look bad. My wife would tell him thats not even a wrench ********. Notice they never showed him asking a man if that "wrench" aka chanellocks were a left or right handed wrench. Because im sure all of them made him look like an idiot when they said thats not even a wrench. Damn that video pissed me off. Whew.

Oh well, made it half way through the video before I killed it. Guess I didn't miss much.

The only tool I saw in that video was the guy holding the microphone.

I know women who work in construction. But I'd bet that when he interviewed a woman like them, he didn't put her in the video.

My wife is a journeyman cabinet maker, what she knows about the tools of her trade completely dwarfs my knowledge of wood related trades. What she knows about the tools of my trade would deffinatly completely dwarf what this guy knows.
well said!

I just assumed he was being a smartass when he called the pliers a "wrench".

I have a Metric adjustable wrench and a very rare spline splicer.

Metric adjustables are quite common, and in a pinch, SAE adjustables will work on metric stuff. The spline splicers are quite rare, but do you have the spline reducing tool that cuts the spline taper to fit the splice? It's usually missing from the spline splice kit, as they dull and break easily.

You have quite the imagination, to be able to deduce that from such an idiotic video.
Because I'm left-handed, I've always had a hunch that the screwdriver like most tools was designed with the right-handed person in mind. I dug around after reading this post and discovered that the clockwise movement for screwing and the design of the screw itself was adopted because most people are right-handed and they can exert more force turning the screwdriver clockwise.

I bet he couldn't tell the difference between a left and right handed drill bit if I handed him one of each.
Good news for us though, more force avaiable to break it loose.
