I should have watched that video every time I was taking off a barrel nut from the factory. Maybe then I could have saved all that money it cost to rent the Elephant I had to chain to my wrench to get those nuts broke free.
Youtube, is the epitome of people helping people, but don't assume that just because someone with a camcorder and good intentions puts out an instructional video, that the information is gospel. Always browse through the comments below the video.
Here's an example of that in a nicely produced video about annealing brass cases? Luckily, Youtube allows folks to respond to videos. Though they're unmoderated, those remarks can sometimes be as valuable as the video. If you bother to watch the video, scroll down to the "Top Comments". They're right.
