About the presto plug. It is rated for 13 amps. A standard outlet is 15 amps. Sone outlets are 20 amps. It doesnt say the gauge, but it is probably 16 gauge. That means you can start a fire if you use more than 13 amps and the breaker wont trip till 15 amps (or more). And how many people check the amps. Bad product; fire hazzard. Edit: so maybe i shouldve watched the whole video before i commented. Maybe it fries before starting a fire. I still think its a fire hazzard. Maybe not for 99% of the people. Tell that to the person who's house burns down.
He’s not a culinary specialist, he doesn’t know how to properly or improperly cut an onion. You have faults too. For example you like to laugh at people when they make a mistake when they could be doing something else that may be more important to them but is doing this to entertain others instead. Now I have a question for you, how does it feel to be judged? Who am I kidding, It doesn’t feel too good, right?

The finger guard and slicing pick are teaching tools for beginning cooks. The shield forces you to hold your stabilizing fingers correctly as you slice long items like herbs or carrots. The pick teaches consistent uniform slices with round items like onions or potatoes. Neither is actually meant to be used permanently, just until you build your confidence and technical skills well enough to stop. Also, don't stab the pick in so far. You just have to seat it.
I'm not a beginning cook but I have and use the cutting pick because I don't have any good knives and can't slice thinly. I'm also not good at slicing evenly either, so it helps make things uniform.
There more meant for dicing, like when you have already cut slices stacked up and you cut them again to dice. That's what they're doing when you see chefs cutting stuff fast. Which is what that product is meant for is to teach you to speed up dicing without cutting yourself.
For future cutting food demos, generally the first thing you want to do is create a flat surface so the food doesn't roll around. In the case of an onion cutting it in half is a good place to start.
The tape is a version of self-amalgum tape. Often used in engineering applications, it's a bonded rubber tape that moulds to itself upon tension and application. When applied correctly, It can seal a broken gasket in high pressure hydraulic pipes, temporarily of course.

The finger guard for the knife is probably meant for more like chopping actions. Where the movement is fast and you aren't holding the blade up so high on an unbalanced object. This would be great for beginners that want to practice the way professional chefs chop or dice foods because at the speed things can go wrong very fast. As for the wolverine claws.

OMG agree...such as the plug when it stop... Dude.. Unplug it from power and then plug it back in! It most likely has an auto reset on it thus why no reset button on it.. Either that it went into thermal mode as it got to hot...unplug it.. wait 5 min and try again.
The finger guard for cutting is a good thing for learning to chop fast with a chefs knife. The motion is to rest the side of the blade on the middle joint (the middle phalanx) and keept the tip of the fingers curled inward resting on the product. The thumb pushes the product forward and the curled fingers may retreat on the product as it's being cut. The knife always stay in contact with your fingers (that's why chefs knife is so wide). This is done in order to chop accurate and fast like a real chef as the cut is guided by your fingers and the thumb pusing and hand crawling sets the slice thickness. Way faster and more accurate than eyeballing and cutting on the product itself. In the learning stage, one may raise the knife too much and cut into the finger, or during crawling the tips don't stay curled inward and get cut. So a tall metal fingerguard can be very useful to learn to chop fast safely by resting the kinfe on that metal guard. The sound may be awkward, but you can practice safely this tehnique. The more pro you get you can rest the knife on the distal phalanx joint (the very last joint of the finger) and be very aware to keep the nails angled inward. It gives more reach for cutting bigger products, the grip is firmer, the cut is more defined and accurate as the resting point is much closer to the product itself but is more prone to cut yourself if you lift the knife too much off the product as it will raise above the joint and cut into it. (the closer your resting point to the product is, the harder it gets as you need to raise the blade just enough to enter a new cut but not more as it the resting point is quite close to the product) Anyway, for this task, this product does not look that bad.
The Onion Cut shield is actually a really good tool (just not good quality from the bad spot-welds). You're actually supposed to curl your fingers in when cutting things like onions, and use the middle section of your fingers as a guide for the knife to go up and down (just like the product). The shield would be perfect for beginners. The rate of speed in which you cut is solely depends on the user's knife skills.
I'm glad you did the 1000W test, because Freakin' Reviews didn't try that when tested it out. Not being able to withstand an overload definitely makes the product instant junk.
There's probably a built in fuse that burned out from what little knowledge I have of electronics. That would be why it defaulted back to the USB voltage, since the fuse would be there to protect the USB devices from a surge. Bad wiring basically, except its built into a board.
@@chronic_adhd208 Doubt it yes it was a little weird but he films and edits these so why even leave it in? I guess he was turning off a camera or the lights.
I worked with disabled and elderly people before and cooking can be very dangerous for them. I guess the Second product is for exactly those applications: Teaching kids to do the claw grip while cutting (which you should do aswell Tyler ;) ) Elderly people that can't keep a grip on Onions. Disabled people with muscle / twitching problems as well as mentally disabled people you want to teach how to cook.
@@AtomSquirrel also it's not JUST about indipendence it can be about them contributing to society. Some are so severly disabled that they need tools to be able to work. Maby there's someone out there with twitching issues, who's a great knowledgable chef or something. You never know. Also if you have some sort of disability and there's a simple product that seems useless to others then you'd think differently about it. (E.g Pill press for elderly people that pushes a pill out of it's casing because they have fingers to weak to push 'em out totally useless for us. Exceptional for them)
My dad once made something that looks similar to the outlet extender. He used Romex, a box, a box extender, and an outlet. It works very well. I recently replaced the box and outlet and I'm using a box cover for the outlet. The whole thing is still working just fine.
You can wire up a heavy duty extension cord into 2 outlets in a 2 gang box and run 4 tools/whatever. Works really well. Spring behind the box to prevent it from rubbing/kinking behind the box. There's a video on here somewhere showing the exact process. Super popular among the older/more experienced tradesmen.
That hammer Tyler is using actually has a built in nail holder. It's the magnet dent. Put nail in. Hit board. Nail stays in board. Continue nailing. It's awesome
Tyler's ability to misuse every product he reviews in legendary 😂 it's honestly what keeps me coming back. Solid job testing the outlet extension though 👍
Nice! Just found this channel and I love it. I've been binging all the videos and this is the first new one I've ever seen. Thanks for all the great content, Tyler!!!
Normally I like RUclipsrs for a while then get bored w them but I’ve been subbed to Tyler for like 2 years and have never stopped watching when he uploads, he also has a gaming channel that’s decent just doesn’t play any games that I like
That onion slicing tool helps you in dicing the onions, not just slicing them. You first slice them up and then cut the slices the other way around to dice them up.
Thank god someone said it. "Then I would have to do this to dice it?" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Good lord Tyler.
Keep in mind these products are often aimed at people with disabilities or injuries. My neighbor recently had surgery and has 90 staples in his chest and was in obvious pain moving stuff around outside. I offered to help and he said "Thanks for the offer, but I'm not an invalid". People still want to be able to accomplish things by themselves even when it is more difficult for them, so they would disagree with the notion that maybe they shouldn't do x.
yeah I'm looking at these finger guard products thinking they're not stupid (conceptually). I have shaky hands but I still have pictures to hang and food to cut. if only we were all blessed with Tyler's silky smooth nerves ;)
Those power cords would be fire hazards if they didn't fail when you overload them. If I remember correctly, Technology Connections channel has a whole video on this, that also explains why common Christmas light strings are safer than off the shelf extension cords in the US. Extension cords sold in the EU have to fail safe, and require a fuse that matches the maximum current rating of the conductors in the cord. The fuse should be in the plug end, not in the socket end, as a socket end fuse wouldn't catch an internal short circuit. Most extension cords sold into the US market *don't* have such a fuse, and will merrily deliver current above the rated limits of the conductors in the cord. The fact that those cords continue to deliver 5 volts after they've been overloaded tells me they are either fused at the wrong end of the cord, or there's shenanigans with the fuse arrangement. Shenanigans might include fusing only the live wire, and allowing the 5 volt supply to run off of current between the return and ground when the fuse blows... gross. Common Christmas light strings typically *do* have a fuse, presumably to handle shorts in an outdoor setting or overloaded end to end strings, which ironically makes them *safer* than the majority of US extension cords. Note that the other side of the system is the wiring in the wall. That wiring has a particular current rating that has to match with the circuit breaker or fuse (if you have an ancient fuse box). That combo of wiring and breaker has no understanding of the current limits of any extension cords you plug in, however, which is what makes unfused extension cords fire hazards. The wall conductors may carry more current than the cord conductors (which is obviously the case in your setup). With old fuse boxes, it was apparently possible to put yourself in major jeopardy by jamming a penny into the fuse socket. Not recommended if you like your house unburnt.
When I was a child and my grandfather was teaching me carpentry, I was afraid of hitting my fingers. He gave me a clothes pin. The kind w a spring, it was a good teaching aid. After about a day I got my technique down and ditched the clip. Small needle nose pliers are still nice for brads and tiny nails.
30:15 It’s probably limited to that 1000w like you said for the extension cord so it’s probably got some safety feature that it breaks so it doesn’t pull to much and start a fire if you ask me I think it’s more for like phones and charger your portable speakers and headphones you know stuff like that
Yep. I saw 2 small black cubes on the circuit board. One going to the USB charging circuitry and another between the hot wire and the outlet prongs. Guessing they're fuses.
My shop teacher once told us that if you keep your eye on the nail and pay attention to what you’re doing, you won’t smash your fingers. He would also moo very loudly like a cow if he caught you doing something unsafe.
I am brand new to your channel, you are so funny well providing a great service. I had some terrible things going on in my life and was very emotional for several days then I saw one of your videos and you managed to make me giggle. So I have been watching you a lot the last few days whenever I need a cheering up. Happy New Years and thank you so much
I sometimes think Tyler was raised in a mop closet. He has trouble understanding some of the basic concepts of the products. I want someone to find a website that existed in the 70's.
23:55 Alright! A train in the background. Nice! Sometimes I miss hearing the train horns when they go through. These days I live out in the countryside where it's all forest and no trains. Closest train is very far from home.
first product could easily be replaced with a wooden clothespin, like those old school ones, could carve a groove into the pinchers so they could hold the nail. or just hammer nails the way Tyler showed you
hat safety nailer is something special. doing footings you only hit the nail twice. once to set the second to drive it in. ...missing the nail means you lose your shin.
I know the use case for the nail holder. Nails that you can't hold without your fingers being less then a cm from the tip your hitting. Those annoying nails that secure the fake would cardboard to the back of shelving comes to mind and that tip AND the angle it gives you makes much more sense.
The nail holder segment was humorous. The nails that smash your fingers the most are 1-1/2 roofing nails. Until you learn to hold them pinched between your fingers, with your knuckles against the shingle. The other thing, is your hammer has a built in nail holder. That groove and magnet are there to hold the nail. Put the nail in the grove. Swing hammer to set the nail, then hit again to set the nail. Don't feel bad. I had to be shown after turning my fingers into ground meat.
Reminder: many devices may seem stupid or useless for those with normal dexterity but helps tremendously for those, who have dexterity problems. They have normal tasks to accomplish, too.
The onion tool (the claw one) I can see being great for cutting fruit or something very soft that you would need even slives/pieces with. But using it for hard things it bends the prongs and just is useless. But I definitely agree if you NEED that to cut because your that clumsy; maybe don't use a knife lol.
The cutting guard could he useful when dicing small vegetables or onion on a small fast scale. But it's probably only for that, I guess you could use it as a mini fist shield too
So, that tape that sticks to its self, I've only ever seen sold as bondage tape. As in that's both what its for and literally what its called. Gives you basically the same feel as being tied up with duct tape, but its way cleaner and much less unpleasant to remove.
I actually like that "wolverine type" slicer, I think a smaller knife would've worked really well. I'm really paranoid about knives because of an accident while washing dishes a long time ago (which is why I stay away from knives now) but I think that thing would help me out a lot if I were to start cooking t home and needing to cut stuff up
That outlet extension gadget: the condition of the package tells me that someone bought it, used it, it overheated (you said it smelled like an outlet fire) and they returned it. The company closed it up in the (damaged) package and shipped it to you.
Dare I say, the metal guard is for chopping onion not slicing and could be a handy piece to practice the fast chopping until you get the muscle memory.
My pet peeve are those tiny short nails you get for the chipboard backing on shelves. Wish I had a tool that could grip them better than my fingers. Cause my hands are small for a guy, but even my fingers don't leave much room to drive the Hammer down without possibly hitting my pointer digit. That's when I could see using a helper tool. All the other nails are just fine.
I just have to say Tyler, I was genuinely pretty frustrated with the entire onion test lol I love watching you because you seem to be a feel good kinda guy but...that was painful. First of all, the knuckle shield, redundant because the position you have to put your fingers in the video to use it, that's how you are supposed to position your fingers while cutting without it and it serves the exact same function. Putting your second knuckle against the flat of the blade insures that you do not cut yourself naturally as long as you never raise the blade above the knuckle. Secondly, the onion should've been cut in half to begin with and that's a dicing tool, you place it at the rear of the onion and then slice in line with the prongs and then slice perpendicular to that and it holds the onion for you. While it's perfectly usable as a guide for you to slice the onion the way you were, clearly, if you push it in all the way its going to get in your way. Lastly, yes if your knife is sharp, it's safer and it won't slide off your food. That being said, your knife is dull as shit and I can tell just by watching you cut with it.
"Hey hun, I can't help hang those pictures because TylerTube said I shouldn't be using hammer" 😂😂 Seriously I smash my fingers every goddamn time and I try so hard too 😅
I work as a line cook and while I was dicing tomatoes I accidentally cut like a good 1/3 of the tip of my thumb off. I believe that finger guard is for dicing food not specifically cutting them. Trying to cut a whole ass tomato/potato with that guard looks annoying.
I also love the fact that me being a chef for a living, watching him misuse the onion cut, hurt my soul, its only made to make the onions perfectly the same size, nothing more, nothing less, and its also not made to go all the way through the onion, only about halfway through the cut onion
Self fusing silicone tape is awesome. Don’t think of it as a rubber band but where you would use electrical tape, but no sticky residue. It is heat resistant (400 deg ?) plus can also be used to temporarily seal water leaks (home/automotive) if used correctly.
spent a couple summers building houses as a side job for extra money when i was a kid. after that 1st summer, i was driving nails in with 3 hits. 2 to taps and get started, the 3rd to drive it balls deep
The main problem I have with cutting onions is that it always feels like someone sprayed mace in my eyes. But as far as just cutting it, it's not hard. Those devices attempt to solve a non problem but do nothing about burning eyes.
That outlet usb relocator probably uses the solder joint as a fuse, I had a power strip that did this, it broke the connection at the solder joint, so I resoldered the joint with my soldering iron and it worked again.
the onion cutter looks like the pick that you saw everyplace in the 70's.. I actually have a few in my toolbox for cement work..when I splash walls and put the scratch parks on later..lol...around a buck at some chinese hair shops

He is the new America I ready know it all and this is why I am so smart ...as they make a complete idiot of themselves on social media
God bless you and God bless anyone reading this! Hope you have an awesome day! Seek him while you can! Jesus is the way and the only way and he is returning soon! Whenever you think you aren't loved... Remember the ultimate sacrifice was for love! ENDING YOUR LIFE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 KJV
The wages of sin is death (hell) but Jesus paid our debt on the cross, for our salvation! We must turn to God and away from our sinful ways, Confess Jesus is Lord and believe with our hearts that he was risen from the dead by God, and we must be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit and live by His word and Commandments! Trust that God will help with the rest!
Seek God today before it's too late! Today could be your last day on earth!
Have a blessed day!

OMG agree...such as the plug when it stop... Dude.. Unplug it from power and then plug it back in! It most likely has an auto reset on it thus why no reset button on it.. Either that it went into thermal mode as it got to hot...unplug it.. wait 5 min and try again.
That makes two of us
The finger guard for cutting is a good thing for learning to chop fast with a chefs knife.
The motion is to rest the side of the blade on the middle joint (the middle phalanx) and keept the tip of the fingers curled inward resting on the product. The thumb pushes the product forward and the curled fingers may retreat on the product as it's being cut.
The knife always stay in contact with your fingers (that's why chefs knife is so wide).
This is done in order to chop accurate and fast like a real chef as the cut is guided by your fingers and the thumb pusing and hand crawling sets the slice thickness. Way faster and more accurate than eyeballing and cutting on the product itself.
In the learning stage, one may raise the knife too much and cut into the finger, or during crawling the tips don't stay curled inward and get cut. So a tall metal fingerguard can be very useful to learn to chop fast safely by resting the kinfe on that metal guard. The sound may be awkward, but you can practice safely this tehnique.
The more pro you get you can rest the knife on the distal phalanx joint (the very last joint of the finger) and be very aware to keep the nails angled inward. It gives more reach for cutting bigger products, the grip is firmer, the cut is more defined and accurate as the resting point is much closer to the product itself but is more prone to cut yourself if you lift the knife too much off the product as it will raise above the joint and cut into it. (the closer your resting point to the product is, the harder it gets as you need to raise the blade just enough to enter a new cut but not more as it the resting point is quite close to the product)
Anyway, for this task, this product does not look that bad.
The Onion Cut shield is actually a really good tool (just not good quality from the bad spot-welds). You're actually supposed to curl your fingers in when cutting things like onions, and use the middle section of your fingers as a guide for the knife to go up and down (just like the product). The shield would be perfect for beginners. The rate of speed in which you cut is solely depends on the user's knife skills.
The “wolverine spike” is used to have consistent cuts, not a safety measure
exactly and a smaller knife would've been helpful.
If you want consistent cuts, then get a mandoline slicer. Far faster and easier.
Actually it works for both, it isn't a bad idea at all, and it does work at holding the onion instead of using your fingers.
I'm glad you did the 1000W test, because Freakin' Reviews didn't try that when tested it out. Not being able to withstand an overload definitely makes the product instant junk.
I love freakin reviews, amazing guy
There's probably a built in fuse that burned out from what little knowledge I have of electronics. That would be why it defaulted back to the USB voltage, since the fuse would be there to protect the USB devices from a surge. Bad wiring basically, except its built into a board.
He faked it and turned the power off. Totally obvious. Even had a remote that clicked exactly when the power went. 😂
James from Freakin Reviews allegedly treats his camera man like %$#@ though.
@@chronic_adhd208 Doubt it yes it was a little weird but he films and edits these so why even leave it in? I guess he was turning off a camera or the lights.
I worked with disabled and elderly people before and cooking can be very dangerous for them. I guess the Second product is for exactly those applications:
Teaching kids to do the claw grip while cutting (which you should do aswell Tyler ;) )
Elderly people that can't keep a grip on Onions.
Disabled people with muscle / twitching problems as well as mentally disabled people you want to teach how to cook.
Thank you! So many of these "useless" items are designed with disabled people in mind
Maybe disabled people shouldn't be cutting things
Of course nowadays it's easier than ever to be declared disabled
@@AtomSquirrel Maybe disabled people need independence...are you going to come do it for them?
@@AtomSquirrel also it's not JUST about indipendence it can be about them contributing to society. Some are so severly disabled that they need tools to be able to work. Maby there's someone out there with twitching issues, who's a great knowledgable chef or something. You never know. Also if you have some sort of disability and there's a simple product that seems useless to others then you'd think differently about it. (E.g Pill press for elderly people that pushes a pill out of it's casing because they have fingers to weak to push 'em out totally useless for us. Exceptional for them)
My dad once made something that looks similar to the outlet extender. He used Romex, a box, a box extender, and an outlet. It works very well. I recently replaced the box and outlet and I'm using a box cover for the outlet. The whole thing is still working just fine.
You can wire up a heavy duty extension cord into 2 outlets in a 2 gang box and run 4 tools/whatever. Works really well. Spring behind the box to prevent it from rubbing/kinking behind the box. There's a video on here somewhere showing the exact process. Super popular among the older/more experienced tradesmen.
That hammer Tyler is using actually has a built in nail holder. It's the magnet dent. Put nail in. Hit board. Nail stays in board. Continue nailing. It's awesome
Tyler's ability to misuse every product he reviews in legendary 😂 it's honestly what keeps me coming back.
Solid job testing the outlet extension though 👍
100%
It's wildly hilarious. Can't cut food,tells people they don't know how to cut food lol
I agree. He completely missed the mark on a few of these here on what they are for
@@bramblethorn2112 a few 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@j.a.r.family2576 if he dosent know how to cut foods and has a worse experience with the food cutting mess of a product thats worse for the products
How tf tyler cut a shit load of onions and did not shed a tear….bro is invincible
For as many times as you miss the nail, that nail holder was created for you.
Also, choke back on your hammer 🔨 handle ffs, you always hold your hammer like a woman/child
Nice! Just found this channel and I love it. I've been binging all the videos and this is the first new one I've ever seen. Thanks for all the great content, Tyler!!!
Welcome to the Club mate
Bruh Tyler is dope, sometimes his test are so inaccurate but he’s human.
Tyler is great
Normally I like RUclipsrs for a while then get bored w them but I’ve been subbed to Tyler for like 2 years and have never stopped watching when he uploads, he also has a gaming channel that’s decent just doesn’t play any games that I like
same, youtube showed me one of this videos, now Im spammed with them
I lol'd loudly at "Fight crime and then slice up some onions."
Seems like Tyler doesn't have anyone in his family who is disabled or has arthritis
That onion slicing tool helps you in dicing the onions, not just slicing them. You first slice them up and then cut the slices the other way around to dice them up.
Thank god someone said it. "Then I would have to do this to dice it?" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Good lord Tyler.
Just get a “slap chop” or a grid blade chopper lol….
Keep in mind these products are often aimed at people with disabilities or injuries. My neighbor recently had surgery and has 90 staples in his chest and was in obvious pain moving stuff around outside. I offered to help and he said "Thanks for the offer, but I'm not an invalid". People still want to be able to accomplish things by themselves even when it is more difficult for them, so they would disagree with the notion that maybe they shouldn't do x.
yeah I'm looking at these finger guard products thinking they're not stupid (conceptually). I have shaky hands but I still have pictures to hang and food to cut. if only we were all blessed with Tyler's silky smooth nerves ;)
“Let’s see what we got here”
“Well, we got an onion”
I laughed so hard at this. Thanks bro.
Those power cords would be fire hazards if they didn't fail when you overload them. If I remember correctly, Technology Connections channel has a whole video on this, that also explains why common Christmas light strings are safer than off the shelf extension cords in the US.
Extension cords sold in the EU have to fail safe, and require a fuse that matches the maximum current rating of the conductors in the cord. The fuse should be in the plug end, not in the socket end, as a socket end fuse wouldn't catch an internal short circuit. Most extension cords sold into the US market *don't* have such a fuse, and will merrily deliver current above the rated limits of the conductors in the cord.
The fact that those cords continue to deliver 5 volts after they've been overloaded tells me they are either fused at the wrong end of the cord, or there's shenanigans with the fuse arrangement. Shenanigans might include fusing only the live wire, and allowing the 5 volt supply to run off of current between the return and ground when the fuse blows... gross.
Common Christmas light strings typically *do* have a fuse, presumably to handle shorts in an outdoor setting or overloaded end to end strings, which ironically makes them *safer* than the majority of US extension cords.
Note that the other side of the system is the wiring in the wall. That wiring has a particular current rating that has to match with the circuit breaker or fuse (if you have an ancient fuse box). That combo of wiring and breaker has no understanding of the current limits of any extension cords you plug in, however, which is what makes unfused extension cords fire hazards. The wall conductors may carry more current than the cord conductors (which is obviously the case in your setup).
With old fuse boxes, it was apparently possible to put yourself in major jeopardy by jamming a penny into the fuse socket. Not recommended if you like your house unburnt.
So we are all just going to ignore that he “hasn’t taken his Christmas tree back up to the attic yet”?? 😂🤣
The tape that sticks to itself we call bondage tape. Can bind a person and doesn't rip out hairs and stuff
did not expect to see a comment about bondage under a Tyler vid
It’s good stuff XD
@@vikameow This is exactly where I'd expect to see one really.
6:59 "Fight crime and slice some onions" 😂
Honestly its like watching a cliche blonde review items lmao love it
6:40 well, I think we all know that accidents can happen, especially if your knife is in the dull side and you're getting impatient with it.
Or you don’t hold it or the item you are cutting properly which is what that guard teaches
I need that t shirt. I did laughing when he called bread raw toast.
Love the videos but you have to bare in mind that some products might be useful for people with disabilities of some kind
Shut up
The products are still trash.
Exactly! And other people at least acknowledge that fact.
@@genodedemon5109 the knife guard and uniform cutter arnt trash they help teach you proper cutting technique which he has none
I think he sorta mentioned that in his own way of words without fully saying it
I just think it's hilarious that the spaghetti is still stuck on the wall from a past video
Lol, Tyler your hammer already has a hands-free nail holder for starting nails!
Lol, I came here to see if anyone else pointed that out.
Tyler: "Amazon products that SHOULDN'T exist"
also Tyler: includes a product not from amazon
When I was a child and my grandfather was teaching me carpentry, I was afraid of hitting my fingers. He gave me a clothes pin. The kind w a spring, it was a good teaching aid. After about a day I got my technique down and ditched the clip. Small needle nose pliers are still nice for brads and tiny nails.
I like the tape ( depending on what its made from) because I'm allergic to rubber and latex. I usually have to reuse bread twisties or zip ties.
30:15 It’s probably limited to that 1000w like you said for the extension cord so it’s probably got some safety feature that it breaks so it doesn’t pull to much and start a fire if you ask me I think it’s more for like phones and charger your portable speakers and headphones you know stuff like that
Yep. I saw 2 small black cubes on the circuit board. One going to the USB charging circuitry and another between the hot wire and the outlet prongs. Guessing they're fuses.
Now it makes sense why they kept bombarding you to buy more outlets at checkout
😂
I love watching Tyler break things haha.
Hearing that train helps my brain to not think we are in a simulation and he's not real
Tyler not cutting the onion in half before he chops it up made me laugh a little but I cook a lot😂😂
He has now cut it in half
You already know it’s gonna be a funny when you test dummy Amazon products
My shop teacher once told us that if you keep your eye on the nail and pay attention to what you’re doing, you won’t smash your fingers. He would also moo very loudly like a cow if he caught you doing something unsafe.
I am brand new to your channel, you are so funny well providing a great service. I had some terrible things going on in my life and was very emotional for several days then I saw one of your videos and you managed to make me giggle. So I have been watching you a lot the last few days whenever I need a cheering up.
Happy New Years and thank you so much
I sometimes think Tyler was raised in a mop closet. He has trouble understanding some of the basic concepts of the products. I want someone to find a website that existed in the 70's.
23:55 Alright! A train in the background. Nice! Sometimes I miss hearing the train horns when they go through. These days I live out in the countryside where it's all forest and no trains. Closest train is very far from home.
first product could easily be replaced with a wooden clothespin, like those old school ones, could carve a groove into the pinchers so they could hold the nail. or just hammer nails the way Tyler showed you
hat safety nailer is something special. doing footings you only hit the nail twice. once to set the second to drive it in. ...missing the nail means you lose your shin.
I know the use case for the nail holder. Nails that you can't hold without your fingers being less then a cm from the tip your hitting. Those annoying nails that secure the fake would cardboard to the back of shelving comes to mind and that tip AND the angle it gives you makes much more sense.
I guess Tyler's immune too onions not a tear in sight
The nail holder segment was humorous. The nails that smash your fingers the most are 1-1/2 roofing nails. Until you learn to hold them pinched between your fingers, with your knuckles against the shingle. The other thing, is your hammer has a built in nail holder. That groove and magnet are there to hold the nail. Put the nail in the grove. Swing hammer to set the nail, then hit again to set the nail. Don't feel bad. I had to be shown after turning my fingers into ground meat.
Reminder: many devices may seem stupid or useless for those with normal dexterity but helps tremendously for those, who have dexterity problems. They have normal tasks to accomplish, too.
I love how the train horn went off as he was getting more mad
has a built in nail holder on his hammer... grabs a set of pliers to show us other ways to help drive a nail lol
The onion tool (the claw one) I can see being great for cutting fruit or something very soft that you would need even slives/pieces with. But using it for hard things it bends the prongs and just is useless. But I definitely agree if you NEED that to cut because your that clumsy; maybe don't use a knife lol.
The cutting guard could he useful when dicing small vegetables or onion on a small fast scale. But it's probably only for that, I guess you could use it as a mini fist shield too
That nail holder would be a decent tool for small finish nails and brads.
Other than that it would take more time than it's worth.
We need a still pick of your reaction to the flying marker. Make it a shirt LOL Classic one right there!
So, that tape that sticks to its self, I've only ever seen sold as bondage tape. As in that's both what its for and literally what its called.
Gives you basically the same feel as being tied up with duct tape, but its way cleaner and much less unpleasant to remove.
I came to that comments specifically to see if anyone else say that and thought "bondage tape"
I actually like that "wolverine type" slicer, I think a smaller knife would've worked really well.
I'm really paranoid about knives because of an accident while washing dishes a long time ago (which is why I stay away from knives now) but I think that thing would help me out a lot if I were to start cooking t home and needing to cut stuff up
Tyler will try absolutely everything to get the wolverine claw to work... except getting a thinner knife.
Just saying never stop this chaotic Chanel plz and thank you Tyler
Love the people that buy a contraption to drive a nail from Amazon instead of just, using the notch on the hammer made for starting them
Not the noodles still on the wall!!😂😂😂😂
I love how there's still pasta on the wall from the other video.😂😂
That outlet extension gadget: the condition of the package tells me that someone bought it, used it, it overheated (you said it smelled like an outlet fire) and they returned it. The company closed it up in the (damaged) package and shipped it to you.
Dare I say, the metal guard is for chopping onion not slicing and could be a handy piece to practice the fast chopping until you get the muscle memory.
It's the spaghetti that's STILL on the wall for me. 😂
Finger amputees maybe could use this, can become new nailing fingers for them
That hammer he used has a magnetic nail holder on the end of it... You don't even need the pliers. lmao!
I don’t drive nails very often. Usually if I’m hanging a picture with tiny nails smaller than my fingers, I use needle nose pliers to hold it.
In the uk, they send something like the first product with flatpack wardrobes for the tiny nails on the backboard and it's free
My pet peeve are those tiny short nails you get for the chipboard backing on shelves. Wish I had a tool that could grip them better than my fingers. Cause my hands are small for a guy, but even my fingers don't leave much room to drive the Hammer down without possibly hitting my pointer digit. That's when I could see using a helper tool. All the other nails are just fine.
I just have to say Tyler, I was genuinely pretty frustrated with the entire onion test lol I love watching you because you seem to be a feel good kinda guy but...that was painful. First of all, the knuckle shield, redundant because the position you have to put your fingers in the video to use it, that's how you are supposed to position your fingers while cutting without it and it serves the exact same function. Putting your second knuckle against the flat of the blade insures that you do not cut yourself naturally as long as you never raise the blade above the knuckle. Secondly, the onion should've been cut in half to begin with and that's a dicing tool, you place it at the rear of the onion and then slice in line with the prongs and then slice perpendicular to that and it holds the onion for you. While it's perfectly usable as a guide for you to slice the onion the way you were, clearly, if you push it in all the way its going to get in your way. Lastly, yes if your knife is sharp, it's safer and it won't slide off your food. That being said, your knife is dull as shit and I can tell just by watching you cut with it.
The finger shield for cutting onions is just there for emotional support 🤣🤣🤣
Should have brought out the Pink Hammer, for the karen contraption
I love my “wolverine” onion slicer (without the finger shield). Used properly it dices onions into tiny pieces easily and quickly.
"Hey hun, I can't help hang those pictures because TylerTube said I shouldn't be using hammer" 😂😂
Seriously I smash my fingers every goddamn time and I try so hard too 😅
😂😂 “Maybe you shouldn’t be driving nails!” 😂😂 Best line of the entire video! Love ❤ watching him! 🙌 👍 🥇
I work as a line cook and while I was dicing tomatoes I accidentally cut like a good 1/3 of the tip of my thumb off. I believe that finger guard is for dicing food not specifically cutting them. Trying to cut a whole ass tomato/potato with that guard looks annoying.
Growing up, we had a different version of the nail holder. Was a yellow plastic pliers with a few slots for nails
The way he ignored that train is how I ignore my X
I also love the fact that me being a chef for a living, watching him misuse the onion cut, hurt my soul, its only made to make the onions perfectly the same size, nothing more, nothing less, and its also not made to go all the way through the onion, only about halfway through the cut onion
Omg........the Christmas tree bit cracked my wife and I up so frickin hard. Touche Tyler, touche....
Self fusing silicone tape is awesome. Don’t think of it as a rubber band but where you would use electrical tape, but no sticky residue. It is heat resistant (400 deg ?) plus can also be used to temporarily seal water leaks (home/automotive) if used correctly.
spent a couple summers building houses as a side job for extra money when i was a kid. after that 1st summer, i was driving nails in with 3 hits. 2 to taps and get started, the 3rd to drive it balls deep
One idea for an episode is to try several aliexpress multitools.
The most awkward cutting of an onion ever.
Have you ever cooked something ? You can't even cut an onion. AN ONION...
The main problem I have with cutting onions is that it always feels like someone sprayed mace in my eyes. But as far as just cutting it, it's not hard. Those devices attempt to solve a non problem but do nothing about burning eyes.
That outlet usb relocator probably uses the solder joint as a fuse, I had a power strip that did this, it broke the connection at the solder joint, so I resoldered the joint with my soldering iron and it worked again.
the onion cutter looks like the pick that you saw everyplace in the 70's.. I actually have a few in my toolbox for cement work..when I splash walls and put the scratch parks on later..lol...around a buck at some chinese hair shops
