>We're going to test that!
Todd is my favorite autist on Youtube.
>makes useless tests and skews results for certain brands Nah, go fuck yourself
>>2790596Nah, the Eagle Grips are really that good. Gearwrench too!
>>2790596this, most if not all of his tests are "laboratory" tests where individual aspects are tested in a vacuum and not in tandem like how they would be in real life use. he appeals to reddit and boomers because its muh heckin scienceroonie and boomers dont have critical thinking skills
>>2790763So what? RC hardness tests, for example, give you a pretty good idea of how hard a knife blade is for edge durability.
>>2790474I like his videos but he talk WAY too fast.sometimes I just skip to the graphs since I don't need to see all the testing.>>2790596pic related is for you.
>>2790763translation:>my brand turned out to be shit and my butthurts REAL bad now.
>>2790474his video about windshield wipers was correct The ones he reported last the longest do.TLDR really expensive windshield wiper blades last longer.
>>2790803I watch all youtube videos on 1.25 or 1.5x speed and his are still fine sped up.
>>2790763>>2790596It’s just entertainment you morons. It’s not le heck in’ science, go somewhere else for that.
>>2790813I find his fast talking so annoying I often stop watching the videos if I have no interest in the product.how impatient are you? I like youtubers who talk normal, and don't do jump cuts to remove pauses and flubs. some of my favorite channels have very long videos:mustie1Vice grip garageShango066I often put them on while doing other things. It's relaxing and I like to hear when people reminisce. I usually avoid fast talkers and people who talk with that odd youtube voice.the where there is an emphasis on the last WORD.when they do it every TIME.it's extremely ANNOYING.
>>2790820>there is an emphasis on the last WORD.>when they do it every TIME.post some examples, I need a good laugh. And as for OP's gerbil, about 2 minutes of that chirping and my head esplode.
>>2790820He's my favorite autist, simple as.
>>2790823well this sucks I had an example and can't find it. it was a channel that had something to do with star wars or movies.
>>2790838This. He tries. If any of ya fags tried to do the same thing on a Patreon budget, they would be far more shitty than Todd.Would be cool to see real scientific studies done multiple times so you don’t get one bad batch of a certain tool, but I don’t see UC Santa Barbara’s engineering and material sciences department putting out results of their brand point drill bet tests.
>>2790823ok so here is an example but not the video I was looking for.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPZMy_JWsOUhttps://youtu.be/z756L_CkakU
>>2790823https://youtu.be/R9RLvYaSnFw
I can't wait for his tampon test video.
>>2790932>his tampon test videoPoor Cousin Eddie...
>>2790804>t. salty boomer that slavishly buys whatever his youtuber tells him to buy
>>2790987
>>2790932Made for a woman, butt strong enough for a man!
>>2790474He's allright, the only suspect reviews I fond is ltt screwdriver and the olsa ratchet.>ltt for obvious reason>olsa because that's not a tool company, they only sell re-brands
sometimes I find aspects of his tests to be asinine, like using a hydraulic press to crush diagonal cutters to failure doesn't really tell you any genuinely useful information, nobody is clamping their cutters into place and jumping up and down on the handles to try and cut god knows what in the field, knowing that BRAND X experiences failure 100lbs sooner than brand Y when both failed at 400+ pounds is just not useful knowledge in any particular capacityI wanted to replace my old dull klein diagonal cutters. I've already sharpened their edge with a file a few times through my life, and now there's a slight visible gap in the jaws when closed. so I watched his video on those and it clearly demonstrated that the channellock high leverage design resulted in lower required force for all PRACTICAL applications, at the consequence of a much lower failure load than other brands, but what kind of moron is out there cutting drill bits in half all day with their cutters? So I picked up a new pair of channellock cutters and I've been happy with them.
>>2790474his voice and high speed yapping make me want to test out drill bits in my earholes
>>2791291>ltt for obvious reasonI watched that and didn't see anything suspect in his testing methods that seemed like he was favoring the LTT driver over any of the other brands, what do you mean?
>>2790474Eh a lot of the tests don’t really translate to real world scenarios Cheater pipe on a ratchet, the bend resistance of a screw driver shaft while prying etc is some real Mexican tier shit A a lot of the cheaper tools perform well but in the real world aren’t all that good tools
>>2790596Baseless retard
>>2791291I’m not sure if that Olsa brand is straight rebrands. They have a few designs I haven’t seen anwhere else. Pic related only seems to come from them, and they have stubby flex head combination wrenches with a 6pt ratcheting end and a V-cut open end, you don’t see those from anybody else either.Maybe some autist dug into them, but they could be like a Tekton trying to grow by investing some money into new designs coming from a Taiwan factory, or maybe it’s like VIM which was quietly doing a ton of private label stuff for many years before popping up with their own lines.There’s a lot of brands who don’t really manufacture shit themselves, they just spec it out to order from Asian factories. Some of it is straight rebranded generic stuff, but Olsa has some original products which means they have money to get the custom tooling for it coming from somewhere.
>>2791314>doesn't really tell you any genuinely useful informationof course it does, it proves that just about any diagonal cutters are pretty good.>>2791495>A a lot of the cheaper tools perform well but in the real world aren’t all that good toolsthat is some nuclear powered cope there.
>>2793051White label Cheng even arranged them in the same way for stock photo.
>>2790820shango is a fun watch, but i skip past the parts where he's fixed the widget and tunes into some awful american broadcasti get that it's a social commentary but ten minutes of crap erase or presidontal lecturn is a lifetime's supply thanks
>>2791321>his testing methods that seemed like he was favoring the LTT driverYou just pick testing methods that will be favorable to the tool you want to come out favorable.But a lot of his tests have questionable real world applications, so it might be as simple as that, autism instead of malice.The whole premise of pc building/tech optimized ratcheting multi bit screwdriver is retarded.
>>2793240That brand has em too now? That’s another one of those new Amazon sellers that has some of the better random Asian stuff, not the cheapest Chinesium.Picrel is the ratcheting wrenches I was talking about. Even if they are jusr another Asian seller, they seem to be selling stuff to a little bit higher spec than most of thise Amazon brands.I wouldn’t order from em for anything more than like $20. When I was looking a little more, that Olsa Tools store was pushing pretty hard a couple years ago with more new tools and they have kinda fallen off.The one brand that pops up on Amazon a lot and looks somewhat legit is that Capri brand. Not sure what fat tool den guy says, but they might be trying to become the next Tekton.
>>2793279>Picrel is the ratcheting wrenchesI suppose if you have a bepis tier toolset you could always throw those in, but I've been working on cars and trucks for 30 years and I doubt if I ever needed a stubby wrench. Same goes for crows foot. I'm sure there are stupid designs that require those, but a normal set of ratchets, sockets, box and open end wrenches can do just about anything; once in a blue moon a u-joint is needed.
>>2793279Anon with Chengs resellers, buy from the one that offers good warranty. Olsa has some tools fairly priced, if you want for example to buy the Cheng USA SK, 90 tooth ratchet PF reviewed from them, it costs the same as buying the SK lucky tool brand one.Some of their tools are overpriced, like picrel sprag "ratchets", they price them 2x of what they go from other Cheng resellers.And yes they are exactly the same besides branding, and they are shit regardless of brand, avoid.
>>2793281I have yet to buy stubbies for the same reason. I don’t know why they’re offered so widely.The Olsa full length flex heads are the same, 6pt with those goofy grooves and the V-cut
>>2793281>>2793410I bought a set of cheap stubbies specifically for fucking with my air compressor, it's a vertical 60 gallon and the motor and compressor are crammed together atop it with little clearance. there are multiple bolts and fittings that require a stubby or crows foot to access. Only example I've got, but I guess I'm glad cheap options are out there compared to them being obscure and overpriced
>>2790474Whenever I want to make myself mad I go watch his long nose plier video again. Jesus fucking christ if there's a vid he needs to remake it's that one. half the fucking video was testing the cutters, he didn't do a lateral pull test THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST, and the twist-force test I think was flawedI'm going to build my own fucking pull-test rig and test the long nose pliers I own just because I'm fucking upset about it
>>2790474best tool testing channel, but he needs to talk normal.
>>2790820>how impatient are you? I like youtubers who talk normal, and don't do jump cuts to remove pauses and flubsPathetic boomer. YouTube shorts and tiktok are the future.
>>2790485The eventual discovery of his 10-acre Fritzl-style underground compound is going to be amazing.>Can anyone hear your screams?>We're gonna test that!>Woah, look at that damage!
>>2795674he's no gord though
>>2795674>Wow! check out those dance moves! Very impressive!
>>2795674Test subject #3, running without head on fire. 29.2 seconds, best yet.
>>2795638only in hell
>>2790474How long are gonna keep posting this stupid fucking thread?
>>2796012>bitches about thread>bumps thread you were a bottle baby, weren't you?
>>2795674>>2795979You thought Cousin Eddie wasn’t real…>>2796012Damn it’s Sunday, what did he test today?
>>2796100>what did he test today?Vacuum cleaners
>>2795320Agreed, cutting is of secondary purpose for needlenose pliers and the common criticism that his progressive cutting of ridiculous things that are too hard and heavy duty for what is being tested is correct. I saw someone else say that the pliers whose heads were longer and more needlenose like (which is of course fine for this purpose) were incorrectly punished for the reduced leverage they offered. I do feel though that the twisting test was the most useful thing in the video though.
>>2796126He tested the cutters on vise grips too. When was the last time you cut something with vise grips?
>>2796126my problem with the twisting test is how the force was applied, I don't think the jaws being inserted into a larger piece of steel and that piece twisted reflects how the pliers are used, it should have been the pliers clamped down onto a flat piece of steel and then twisted so all the resistance was coming from inside the jaws instead of an external twisting force being stopped by the jaws.the knipex pliers performed terribly in all his testing methods because none of what he tested reflected what long nose pliers are intended to do: manipulate materials in tight clearance spaces. the knipex pliers are fantastic at doing what they're intended to do, they're dogshit at working as holding pliers for random fasteners and cutting through fucking deck screws. I wanted to see him test how well the pliers could do a straight pull on various materials to test how well the teeth grab in that function, since that's my #1 use for them
>>2790763>he appeals to redditors and boomers>i watch his stuffoutted yourself fag
clickbait retard who trollishly designs his tests to be 100% useless for determining product quality. he might as well drop each one down a plinko chute and the winner is whatever falls into the right slot.
>>2796527It’s not Todd’s fault that you didn’t buy Gearwrench like I recommended! Now you’re all Mr. Sandy Vajayjay over here
>>2790857goddamn all those girls are hot...unlike the "females" of today with the tiktok freckles filters and other gay shit like that, they all look like clones
>>2790474his review for the best string trimmer was absolute dogshit. he was comparing low end shit from one brand to high end shit from another brand, he could have at least bothered to get comparable and competing products instead of getting shit from completely different ranges and then acting like they weren't powerful enough, etc.
>>2790474Le raging aids faggot face
>>2797074He did that with some other power tools IIRC, like a Milwaukee Fuel vs the new budget brushed Ridgid. As if when you’re shopping for an oscillating tool, you’re trying to decide between a $200 Fuel bare tool and a $79 Xmas special entry level Ridgid with battery and charger.
>>2790820>how impatient are you?Extremely. I watch his videos at 2x speed, and everything elseWhy wouldn't I do something in half the time if I can? Are you retarded?
>>2797513You’re missing out on the entertainment value! You see the dancing jack stands?
>>2793268>The whole premise of pc building/tech optimized ratcheting multi bit screwdriver is retarded.It really isn't when you consider that the point of what they did in building it was to take a design they liked and optimize it for their own constant use case, which is working in server racks and building computers. Nobody was making a screwdriver they actually liked, so they built one they did and started selling it.
>>2796106No hoover windtunnel 2 :(
>>2798633I mean that EEV Blog guy designed his own multimeter after seeing so many meters focused towards electricians and HVAC dudes and industrial and automotive techs. If the market is missing something, design it and sell it!
>>2793268>The whole premise of pc building/tech optimized ratcheting multi bit screwdriver is retarded.bullshit. I love them. I had a craftsman and stored all the bits I needed in the handle. used it all the time because compaq and IBM had to use different screws from everyone else. security bits etc. all you needed when working on most computers fits in your back pocket.
>>2790474on of the best youtube channels. but talks too fast.
>>2799015>talks too fast.>Options>Playback speed>0,75I watch most YT at 2x but for PF I slow down to 1.25That's just me - youbu
>>2790474This guy has the most annoying voice over ever. I'd watch his videos more of it wasn't foe his tv-shop style voice editing. He speaks likena fucking flex seal commercial. Fuck that.
>>2799179APPLY PRODUCT hur dur
Summary of most of this thread:
>>2799179his older vids just from 2, 3 years ago have a different tone.he's slowly trying to appeal to the YouTube algorithm with those new thumbnails
>>2799320>Summary of most of the threads on this board:
they are a useful metric to see if you should spend more on a product to get features that may or may not be useless to you.most of the time the bottom tier price point works for 99% of cases but maybe you can go up a tier or two if there are features that are important to you.
>>2790763his testing is patterned more after real life situations.Most other lab testing is about replicating certain conditions observed in real life, and testing to those conditions.but you are right that his tests don't repeat very much. But they do weed out bad performers that won't last with their performance past a few uses pretty well.
>>2790801harder =/= better and the ideal hardness is task/tool and material grade dependent.
>>2790474This guy is alright for novices to the devices. While many of his tests seem more practical towards real world situations, there are many that just aren't even close.It was when he did the fleshlight series that I decided I had seen enough and stopped watching his channel.
