Thought I'd share this screwdriver tip with you all.

I know, i've resorted to driving a honda how lame. Works the same on all fuel injected cars though.

 

Nice,cheap way,but it works

 

Excellent! Can you share the mic that is attached to the end of the screwdriver?

 

Its a wired lav mic (XLR cable) fed into my camcorder. What the mic hears is what you should be able to hear with your ear close to the screw driver.

 

You can buy an automotive stethoscopes and other tools, but I figured I would show people how to do it without any other tools.

 

have done this a few time, comes in handy when your un prepared tool-wise!

 

indeed. Poor mans tools have to do sometimes.

 

helll yea and great video bro keep up the good work

 

wow that's neat! Very creative. As a nursing student, wonder if my stethoscope could be used to diagnose car problems as well haha!

 

and get back into an Evo, loved your "what evo drivers say" video!!

 

helpful vid!

 

Thanks! Hoping an evo X will be in my near future.

 

Good thing to know if in a pinch. Also can use a 921 marker bulb as a noid light. Just bend the prongs back and insert into connector.

 

cool, thanks for adding!

 

Great video other than the Honda. lol

We use this trick at work to listen to valves to see if they are leaking through. I'm talking about high pressure fluids and steam though. I made a listening rod so I wouldn't have to put my head down close to hot lines or dirty crap. Just a 2" metal ball, hole drilled 1/4", jammed a long 1/4" rod in the hole, welded to the ball, and cut off the rod to about 2'. Works great.

Something to remember just because it's old school or not new tech doesn't mean it's not great.
