        Yeah, that was his peak. The tool teardowns were interesting.

        The Torque Test channel is kinda close in a similar vein, but not quite the same.

          I’ll have to check them out. If you like teardowns and deep dives on random consumer product engineering, I’d recommend Technology Connections. Dude puts out quality

            Torque Test are very matter of fact and to the point, a very science and testing based channel.

            Well worth watching if you plan on spending money on power tools.

      Phew… and what a dive that was. What a waste of a channel. I don’t mind the AvE stuff nearly as much as the insufferable persecution complex of WS though.

        Yeah, his old US Forest Service videos were entertaining to watch, even if they turned out to be bullshit. But biking it to Portland, armed and scared of downtown was ridiculous. Not to mention his man servant and all the other weird shit he had going on. And even weirder were the traps he was showing tutorials on how to make.
