Push to Latch?  Push to Release?  Push Push?  I don't know what these are called, but there isn't a ton of info out there on them.  

I've always been intrigued.  Today, let's build our own!

PUSH LATCH Mechanisms (DIY!)

There's something magical about push-push latching mechanisms. Or maybe it's just me. Let's talk about them and build our own! Check out EngineerGuy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2bkHVIDjXS7sgrgjFtzOXQ

Really, a "hiding the sausage" joke within the first minute? :D

I am scared I am going to end up explaining this to someone at some point,

Oh I love these mechanisms, great video! The car mirror example really resonates with me as well. I've been fascinated with the feel of those things since I was a kid. The way the rotary damper smooths everything out has always felt really nice. I've never seen that crab-claw ball capture latch though, I'd love to see how that works!

Finally! I've been going through withdrawal for weeks. Watching your old content doesn't give me the same high as it used to.

That was the best executed sausage joke. I even made my wife watch it... Then I had to explain the joke and it wasn't funny anymore:(

Did you really think, you could hide "Subscribe" in plain site, and the huddled masses not see it?

Marcus

Why is it that I want to go and make one of these now for no reason whatsoever?

Erik Ferland

The end! 🤣🤣🤣 Tony, your dry sense of humor is sharper than your machining.

My wife laughed almost as much as I did at the sausage joke :) keep them coming and I’ll fire up the BBQ :)-
