Motor oil videos on this channel bring out the funniest jokes about “Project Farm’s coffee”. So, I decided to surprise everyone by creating a new coffee brand, Ozzie’s Coffee. As you can probably tell by how fast I talk, I like coffee. Thanks again for supporting the channel.

I use these on my bike, only need them about once a year. Now I know why I always have to buy a new one ????????
It's incredible what the sun does to things over time, it's also incredible that there are some products that hold up pretty well in material and dyes. If only the rest gave a damn. And thanks for the metric conversions.
Oooh nice this is great science!
Video idea: Best tire shine
Just wondering… How many things is he "drying" on his roof for who knows how long that we've yet to see?

Yes finally, a bungie cord test. Im a bungie cord freak and now ill know which is best. I fkn love Project Farm!
would like test tow roaps and straps i would like see Matt Off Road Roap and straps tested aginst other brands
We keep straps in the bed of our work trucks year round. 14 years ago I noticed that some straps lasted longer than others. It took a while to narrow down the ones that held up well. I decided that HDX was the best of the ones we tried. I have used the same set for close to 10 years. They spend a lot of time not in use under or beside stuff in the shade, and sometimes the truck spends the day parked in the shade. I don't play around with bad cords after we had a friend losing his vision in one eye after a bungee failed. The older HDX bungees hold up longer than the current ones do and they caused me no end of trouble trying to figure out what brand we had that was holding up so well when they changed the design of the hook and I kept looking for the hook style that matches what I had. After looking for a year I found the original container and was able to get things narrowed down. So much marketing hype on all those straps it caused so many arguments with my coworkers watching them buy crap and I would say get back to me in 6 months and let's see how they are holding up. Thanks for the testing and showing the other brands that are better than most.
Anyone use the Monkey Fingers adjustable bungees??
