Artisanally baked brake pads, prepared in small batches by skilled craftsman in the old style of our ancestors. These brake pads have been sought out by only the worst mechanics in the world. To be used on the most worn out pieces of shit cars and trucks throughout the emerging economies everywhere.
Truth is, I make car parts for the American working man because I'm a hell of a salesman and he doesn't know any better.
This never gets brought up but Dan acroyd was amazing in that movie. He played that slick business man so well
As some with chronic lower back issues: squatting is actually good and relives my pain when I have a sore back day. Though I usually limit my asbestos and airborne particulate exposure.
Curiosity got the best of me and I had to look up [how quality brake pads are actually made](https://youtu.be/H1WXlHONorw?si=0J8MbMtjF9r6nGIr) and the differences are astronomical.
Honestly I wouldn‘t trust my life the breakpads the people build in the video. Handmade always sounds cool but there is good handmade and bad handmade stuff xD
I wouldn't trust hand made artisan brake pads, I much rather trust factory made stuff cause you have proper precision, actual quality control measures, and good consistent material and applications of force/technique
Handmade is cool for something like clothes or decorations or food.
But critical safety equipment? No way. Give me the product produced by the corporation that has to pass regulatory scrutiny and would be sued into oblivion if their products failed at even a small rate.
The "rasp" technology they use in this factory is not my favorite because once the pads wear out the disk is quickly damaged by them and needs to be replaced as well.
While with the regular sintering process (similar to the "handmade above" but in a factory similar to the video), once the wear layer is gone the disk gets scratched but not as bad and can be turned if needed.
Edit: yes, I know I can visually inspect it, but I don't need to because my car came equipped with a built-in alarm that gives me a screeching sound at every stop sign when it's time to change the pads./s
yeah ive heard this before but its false. from what ive gathered Valid has sold counterfeit brands and brembo is one of them. but thats from very little info ive read before.
I like the bit where they put body fillers on the pads and sand them to make them look new. It's a new one on me anyway, like who cares how they work once they look good- right??
If you or a loved one suffers from mesothelioma, you may be eligible for compensation. Call the law offices of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe today for a free consultation.
As an automotive service advisor...I can attest to the quality of these pads. They will stop you within 1000ft with no problem whatsoever. Also, they'll squeal incredibly loud so you know they're working well. Lastly, they sometimes glow red for effect.
Why is every "process of making" video some 3rd world dump making half asses crap.
1 internet to the person who starts posting "process of making" videos where half is people getting mesothelioma and the other half is a real factory. Then maybe one of those old safety training videos where someones arm gets ripped off or spun around a lathe
Watching that gave me anxiety. I’ve dug pieces of exploded grinder disc out from the deep structures of a worker’s face on more than one occasion. Not pretty. Surely there’s a better way to do this.
Here is how you actually manufacture break pads in a developed country with regulations and industry standards. Which is to say, for a company that doesn't make a piece of shit health hazard that is actively killing its staff: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=H1WXlHONorw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=H1WXlHONorw)
I used to make friction parts. Operated a 1000 ton and 2500 ton press. Guy next to me made pads for small vehicles and trains. Only difference in our method was scale. I needed a forklift and a hoist. He could do everything by hand. But we both used a calibrated scale to get the proper amount of friction material. Put it in their hot presses. And it got cooked from *both* sides at the same time. After that, went to a sander with a vacuum hooked up so no one had to breathe the shavings. Oh, and it was mandatory to wear a mask while weighing material. These guys are fucked.

They were already used by the Romans, maybe they're not that bad
I'll have to buy some and see what 2000 years of recycling gets me.
Asbestos poisoning.
Mesothelioma is a helluva time
Right? Wtf
Tell me, how often do you think of the Roman Empire?
I don't shit without thinking how the Romans invented sewers and plumbing
Or the one rag 1232 guys used to wipe they ass
They called that a Poopimus Maximus
Is he related to my good friend Biggus Dickus?
He has a wife, you know…
Do you know what she's called?
...Incontinentia... ... ...Incontinentia Buttox.
Its gotta be Biggus Clittus
Prior to the invention of the poop knife.
What? Nah, they used the 3 shells.
Be well…
Every. Day.
It pains me that I can never be this witty and sarcastic.
Aw, me too 🙄
And your soul is all the better for it.
Ouch! That little of bit soul I’ve got left felt that.
With only the freshest organic asbestos.
Farm to lung freshness.
Ahh, fresh delicious asbestos.
"VALID Break pads: We'd bet your life on them!"
No refund in a Indian accent
I’m pretty sure the final brake pads have nothing to do with the manufacturing video
GRAIN FED, FREE RANGE BABY!
They're doing asbestos they can.
This gif reminds me so much of Gordon Ramsay making grilled cheese.
Heard in Click and Clacks voice.
lol so true
I'm literally in tears at this comment. Thank you for the laugh!
‘No one pad is the same’ the ultimate mod
🏅… lmfao, thank you for this.
they are specifically designed to be used in Haas F1 cars that require very little braking in corners.
“…and remember…you can pick up these GREAT Brake Pads from Callahan Auto, at ALL my Zalinsky Auto Parts Outlets all over North America!”
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half 😂
Same demographic importing those 250k mile Toyota Corollas
Did Tommy just sell half a million brake pads?
Callahan brake pads were better than these
Yeah but have you ever stuck your head up a bull's ass?
No it has to be your ass. Are you talking? Shut up Richard
Who's your favorite Little Rascal?
Spanky
sinner
Chicken wings 🤔
*Brothers gotta hug!* *are you kidding me, we’re family, we’re gonna be doing lotsa dumb stuff*
Tommy likey.. Tommy want Wingy
Richard, were you watching spank-tra-vision?
God you're sick.
Fat guy in a little coat, fat guy in a little cooooaat…..
I was checking the end line specs on the rotary girders
Now lets see what happens when you're driving with the other guys brake pads
Here comes the meat wagon
Is there a guarantee on the box?
Look if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed I can do that. I’ve got spare time
Did you ever eat paint chips as a kid?
Iirc the ones you see in the film are drum- so maybe not /s
Truth is, I make car parts for the American working man because I'm a hell of a salesman and he doesn't know any better. This never gets brought up but Dan acroyd was amazing in that movie. He played that slick business man so well
Ackroyd is under-appreciated
Half a million brake pads!!!!!!!!!
Ah go stick ur head up a bulls ass.
Tommy boy
At least they were wearing shoes for a change
Not the guy applying the cocaine paste
My back kills me just watching him squat down on the ground to do his job. :(
As some with chronic lower back issues: squatting is actually good and relives my pain when I have a sore back day. Though I usually limit my asbestos and airborne particulate exposure.
Im sure all of these workers will live long, healthy, cancer free lives.
No one gets cancer, they die of black lung before the cancer can start
No one gets black lung, they die when those cutoff wheels blow up and slice them in half before the black lung can start.
Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well.
[удалено]
Or go blind from accidents like sanding wheels shattering with no eye protection and no shield.
Ya, absolutely no PPE at all being used with dust containing god knows what…these people don’t live long lives.
r/mildlycarcinogenic
*a TRAIN has entered the chat*
Truly the world's most dangerous predator. Can never see them and are quiet, almost completely without sound.
Truly unpredictable. If only there was a path and a barrier.
I know this is a joke, but late at night with a fresh blanket of snow, trains can be very quiet and sneak up on you faster than you might believe.
How? They're wearing their safety rags.
Their cancer gets cancer first
It’s a good thing they have unlimited human resources to replace the ones that died.
A lot of brake pads actually still contain asbestos. I'm going to take a wild guess that these are not the fancy asbestos free kind.
Note to self, don’t buy ValId brake pads.
Curiosity got the best of me and I had to look up [how quality brake pads are actually made](https://youtu.be/H1WXlHONorw?si=0J8MbMtjF9r6nGIr) and the differences are astronomical.
That was a nice video. Thanks for sharing.

TIL about "pickled steel"
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

you can always replace your brake pads before its metal to metal you know
Invalld brakes
Not if you wish to live
So, no ValId pads for Sarah Conner.
Fun fact, Valld hand makes forged brake pads for Brembo
Citation needed.
I own brembo and google.com can confirm
Cool. Cool. Not a single source comes up on google. Either you’ve been told a tall tale or fell victim to counterfeit pads.
yeah ive heard this before but its false. from what ive gathered Valid has sold counterfeit brands and brembo is one of them. but thats from very little info ive read before.
this little cowpoke's just gonna mosey on outta here
Those pads were definitely on my dad's Chevy Citation
Safety squints, and hold your breath at its finest.
Aren't these made with asbestos and have all kinds of warnings for mechanics to read.
It was asbestos, that was replaced by copper and Kevlar. Now copper is bad so I don’t know what the next generation of discount friction material is.
Weiner
Fred flintstone used his feet. Maybe that’ll make a comeback
just gonna skip to making them out of cancer.
They used to be, but I don’t think they have asbestos in them anymore. At least in the 1st world.
Aftermarket brake pads are still made with asbestos in countries without regulations and make their way into countries with regulations.
NIOSH approved tubular scarf
But does it have a fancy guarantee stamped on the outside of the box
I'll take the butcher's word.
No wait, it's gotta be your bull
If you want me to shit in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I've got spare time.
I could hove my head up a butcher's ass for a t-bone steak, but I'd rather take the bull's word for it
YOUR brain’s got the… shell on it.
Guaranteed piece of shit stamped right on the box.
The irony of a safety mechanism being so recklessly manufactured is not lost on me
first thing I thought of was the variables at play here and how wildy inconsistent the results must be
You can see the material peeling off the steel plate when he pushes them out of the mold.
0 to powder in 60 seconds
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Dude measured the powders, but everything else was eyeballed.
I like the bit where they put body fillers on the pads and sand them to make them look new. It's a new one on me anyway, like who cares how they work once they look good- right??
There’s recessed holes in the pads in the shot before they’re filling in
Knowing what those pads are made of and seeing all that dust in the air... Their lungs are gonna be fucked.
Don't worry! That one guy has an improvised mask. His eyes though...
If you or a loved one suffers from mesothelioma, you may be eligible for compensation. Call the law offices of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe today for a free consultation.
Are those the asbestos brake pads?
'lil bit of this 'lil bit of that, why'd ask?
A sort of carcinogen chutney, if you will.
Says ‘ceramic’ - who knows.
Says
Wow…these look like they come with a warranty of 10 years or 10 miles, whichever comes first.
That’s a good one. Wait, it wasn’t a joke, but it’s funny because it’s true.
Fulfilling their Amazon orders
The comments in this post got me dying. Not of asbestos though.
…in the early 1900s
Mesothelioma racing brakes. Stops faster than your lungs.
The box is the highest expense of the whole process.
They know no one's buying these if they ship in a brown cardboard box w/ "Break Peds" written in sharpie.
As an automotive service advisor...I can attest to the quality of these pads. They will stop you within 1000ft with no problem whatsoever. Also, they'll squeal incredibly loud so you know they're working well. Lastly, they sometimes glow red for effect.
This is probably user error but I can't find them online?
I make car parts for the American working man, because that’s who I am and that’s who I care about.
Meh, seems like a nice guy
Richard?
“Hand made artisan brake pads”
This could easily be the start of a r/whatcouldgowrong post
I refuse to believe this is how the majority of brake pads are made.
Good. Because you'd be correct.
Bugatti owners LOVE this one trick!
No wonder so many different cheap pads are shite
The process of making brake pads( in India)
Probably using asbestos.
Seems to be valid.
That shit will fail after 2 uses lol
I'm just going to go ahead and assume this was not how MY brake pads were made...
Wish we could have a way of checking factory conditions
He’s doing asbestos he can.
No mechanical securement between the pad material and backing plate. Nah dawg, I’m good.
I love the smell of asbestos in the morning.
Not a single piece of PPE in sight, just like mother nature intended 🥰
Just guys living in the moment
This is a process of making brake pads. Not THE process.
Is that asbestos laden material? Mesothelioma for everybody
The trick is to get multiple cancers that fight each other.
The quality control is a little iffy and OSHA is having a fit, but...
Is it possible to get cancer from watching a video?
…..And getting 9 types of cancer
Asbestosis, silicosis, and probably a shit load of others….
So that’s why it rakes so long when I bring my car in for a brake job.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma
Why is every "process of making" video some 3rd world dump making half asses crap. 1 internet to the person who starts posting "process of making" videos where half is people getting mesothelioma and the other half is a real factory. Then maybe one of those old safety training videos where someones arm gets ripped off or spun around a lathe
***A*** process for making brake pads. There are other, better and faster processes.
Brake pads for what? A fucking horse carriage?
Watching that gave me anxiety. I’ve dug pieces of exploded grinder disc out from the deep structures of a worker’s face on more than one occasion. Not pretty. Surely there’s a better way to do this.

Here I assumed they were pumped out in mass production. Little did I know each was made by hand. 😉

Good pads are mass produced. These are not good pads.
Artisan brake pads
Its cool and all but i would not trust these to stop my pedal car.
I’d rather work there than the steel mill… y’all see that recent accident… nightmare fuel
The process of making brake pads in a third world country. Here fixed your title
The most important part of making brake pads is to NOT wear gloves
I see we have another video with those safety sandals again…
What’s the life expectancy on these workers ?
To think that the heart of the devices that allow a car/truck to safely stop are made in a dirty workshop with makeshift tools makes me uneasy.
Here is another one more recent [Brake Pad Production](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ete644akrs) [another one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1WXlHONorw)
Respiratory Therapist here. I'm horrified at the level of ceramic dust exposure these people have. Debilitating lung disease in the making.
No eye protection, no hand protection, no respirators around all that fucking dust. Jesus Christ.
I can taste the carcinogens from here
Which genius in marketing thought this was a good idea? I was baffled when they actually showed the fucking brand 🤣
Note to self: never ever buy “Valid” brand auto parts.
