What happens here

This project evaluates the durability and effectiveness of Paint Line hinge hooks for suspending cabinet doors during painting. It compares the performance of the new hinge hooks against traditional screw-in cup hooks, and further tests a modified (sharpened) version of the hinge hooks to determine optimal design and hold under impact.

I used to be a pitcher in high school I know middle school I had to I had a very proper technique but I don't know if I still have it welcome to plate life TV my name is Noah and today we're going to be testing these new products from paint line this system is designed for spraying your cabinet doors and specifically we're gonna be checking out these hinge hooks that they recently released now these actually clamp inside the holes in your hinges in joules and the advantage here is that you're able to put this on the PSD our system where you have full control over the spin by the way that we normally do it is that we'll normally put in some cup hooks into the side of the doors we'll drill in put those inside and then we have this very secure system for hanging the doors now that's what we didn't really do and we have a video specifically on why that works and this isn't really a problem but hey you screw in holes in perfectly good cabinets I get it what we're testing today is exactly how strong this clamp is and it's actually really important because when you think about it if you were to lose this in the process of spraying your cabinets you'd be in rough shape you're probably going to end up buying a new cabinet which is exactly what you want on any cabinet job that you're doing so I'm going to be using this very scientific and very precise technique of throwing a ball at it and seeing what happens see when I hit it on the side like that it applies quite a bit of force to just one side like if anything was gonna yank it out it'd be something like that no it's straight on so one of the things we got we recently posted a video similar to this one this slapping one of these hangers around we placed about an Instagram it and one of the things that people commented was what happens if you make those hooks actually sharp and for one thing they actually are sharp already and they do it that's a big reason why it actually is doing a good job but I'm gonna try to do a before-and-after with a little bit of science and a little bit of modding to see if we get any different results I was throwing the ball hard before but I'm really gonna see if I can break a window or something with this if nothing else I'm wearing it down you know each hit has to be doing something you're not going down to be fair if we got muscle man Chris over here you get probably you probably knock it down in one but doing my best yeah it's like a carnival game this poor door it's impossible to know exactly how hard I hit that thing but I'm going to take it inside and I use a dremel tool to sharpen the edges those hooks and then I'll not take it back out here to see if there's any significant difference if we can actually get it to stick into the sides of those hinge holes so just by moving this thing around I'm already feeling a big difference and it's not it's not good all right let's start with around the same force that I was going with before it's hardly yeah okay I did better that time because you put this up and you didn't do the stretchy thing where you tried to get it to actually puncture the sides you did oh so maybe I'm just bad at putting this on is what you're saying all I got to say is I'm sorry about your cabinet Chris I mean this was inevitable I suppose and this is precisely why you're you want your cup hooks to be this sturdy so I'd highly recommend not throwing balls at them or especially throwing balls at the hanger itself well say good I think that wraps it out so after sharpness and testing out I have two theories as to why these coming exactly the way they do number one you probably don't want razor sharp tools in their bag that you're just reaching out trying to get kind of safety hazard I'd say but second of all the reason on certain ones that really seemed like this didn't have nearly as much hold is what we theorized is probably a lack of surface area to create the amount of friction that you want so in my opinion the way these come is actually the exact level of sharpness that you want for the most secure hold so there you have it we've been testing out these EF C hooks now the question is would I actually use them myself you know what I'm really comfortable after all the years painting I've been painting for eighteen years now been painting cabinets for almost as long I've been drilling holes and screwing these one inch cup hooks inside these doors for probably about six years now I've never had any complaints I'm comfortable with this method I'm a lot more comfortable with house how they hang and actually secure I've never had a door fall off with these type of hooks right here here's the esc hooks we've been thrown messin around all joking aside they have been performing a lot better than i ever expected but if you really don't want to drill holes in your cabin doors you're just against it this is an option the EFC hook now let's put it to the real test
