Fireball hardtail. All right, let's see how good this guy can do. 5,000. Hey, you didn't even look like you tried on that. Oh, yeah, can you explain this to me how this works? >> Yep. So, this design is unique because the nuts and the spindle pull from the back to the front. And then we have thrust bearings integrated into the casting. So, that it's really smooth and easy to turn. There's no binding motion. Most of the time this nut is attached to the base right here. >> Okay. >> And with this because we're pulling from the back, now we can have a completely boxed slide instead of a C channel. So, because we have a now we have a full rectangle as you can see, we pull this out. Then we have a tube is stronger than a piece of C channel. Does that make sense? >> Yep. >> So, that's what gives us our superior strength. And that's what keeps this thing strong and keeps it from breaking or bending. >> And this is called what? >> This is the Fireball hardtail 614 vise. >> Made where? >> Uh this one's made in USA.

You let them know. You want the Taiwanese one, here it is, half price. >> there is no difference in quality. I think there's an association with that. The quality is exactly the same. It's like baking a cookie. If I gave somebody a recipe to make a cookie and they followed to the T, I gave you or me, our cookies should be exactly the same. That makes sense? >> Interesting. >> changing ingredients. We're not changing processes. It's just different location, you get a little bit different value. >> Where do you guys find these at? >> Uh these are made I This is my design. >> What's the website? >> fireballtool.com. You can find these. >> Thank you.
