      The only "problem" I have with that test is that after 32 YEARS of doing similar test and using his left hand, he might be a little too ambidextrous for it to be an accurate test. He's probably much better with his non dominant hand than most people since he, I assume, uses it relatively frequently to test stuff.

      @@gwanael34 yeah but consider that your mom dominant hand only gets so good, and it will never be as good as your dominant hand unless you absolutely never use your dominant hand for anything at all.

    The "left-handed oil test" seems really cool to me because I'm pretty sure that's basically an exact simulation of what it would be like for me to use it with my low muscle tone and motor issues!! I didn't realize designers had that sort of a nifty, simple test to see if it works for people like me :D

      Elijah H i will say that this guy is pretty inclusive in his tests and designs, contrary from others in the industry. Most designers make products for their target demographic, while he makes designs that everyone can use, especially for people with weaker grips and muscular issues. Thats why I love him, he thinks of people like you.

    @CorbiniteVids 3 года назад +43

    one of the reasons why the core samplers used in geology and soil sampling work is because they're usually fairly thin in relation to their length, and that gives them the surface area they need to pull the soil (etc) out of the ground. Meanwhile that ice cream sampler is fairly wide and shallow, it's basically just a stamp

    Idk what kind of “traditional ice cream scoop” you’re using, but that thumb press scoop would be way faster for me because the ice cream NEVER want to leave the scoop

    • @AvaNightingale
      @AvaNightingale 4 года назад +46

      Traditional scoop is metal for the reason that warm water makes it cut through the ice cream easily and the warm scoop doesn't let the ice cream stick to itself nearly as much.
      There's a reason every ice cream shop uses them.

      Only problem with the fluid-filled scoop is that the remaining ice cream can freeze harder where it melted. Not too much of a problem if you go through ice cream quickly but very noticeable if you tend to spread out a carton more

    Some of the metal pieces like the first one could work better if you run the metal piece under hot/warm water for a few seconds then use it on the ice cream. It would help a lot as it will somewhat melt the ice cream that the metal is immediately touching, making it easier to plunge into the ice cream. Also works for regular spoons

    I worked at Baskin-Robbins for 5 years and can tell that most people don't know how to design or use an ice cream scoop correctly in the first place. The traditional metal scoop with no buttons or anything on it is best. Just run under cold water and skim the top of the icecream over and over keeping the wrist straight until a ball forms. Then it just slides right out because of the water. Don't mess with the basic design.

    On the "core sample" item, I would remove the top button and instead put a "squeeze lever" on the side to release the ice cream, sort of like one from a handheld pepper mill.

    You really can't round the plunger where your hand goes for the one cookie sandwich maker. Gotta remember it's two sided, one for 3 inch sandwiches, the other for the larger ones; So rounding one side of the plunger would be detrimental to its intended functionality.
