Uncle bumblef*ck always does the drop test, because it's quite realistic, especially for tools used on a ladder.
His teardowns are always fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbfNzt0UMGc
I was an avid watcher of him for a few years until he went off the deep-end with covid and backing the canadian caravan. If he's gone back to what he was good at(teardowns of tools with explanations of the materials and manufacturing choices) I might start watching him again
A surprising number of Canucks went down this rabbit hole, effectively losing years of their lives to these two movements and destroying their social networks and familial bonds.
One Canadian I knew cried for hours every day thinking her vaccinated extended family members were going to die. But hey, every date she listed as when I would die due to vaccine has passed and I'm still alive and healthy! So is her family, much of which is estranged from her now :c
Canada built a much tighter COVID vaccination verification and retail enforcement system than the USA. Vertical integration, few gray zones and such made those who opted out feel like the walls were closing in, as your province's health authority knew your vaccine status, restaurant demanded a valid, ID matching government supplied QR Code to allow seating, and the government was willing and able to enforce the law.
Comparatively, COVID restrictions were created state by state in the USA, and it was such a spotty patchwork that many who opted not to vaccinate lived much more normal lives than their counterparts in Canada.
Much like the universal Canadian deployment of tap and pay, present and pay (the credit/debit card never leaves your hand ever at restaurants or stores), PIN entry for all transactions that would require a signature in the USA, Canada is able to move faster and implement more effectively than the USA.

I really enjoyed how he red circled sub clauses of the sentences he think are important and ignores the rest of the sentence in other videos.
The guy is legitimately impressive at understanding how tools work and the manufacturing put into them, but he’s an asshole when it comes to dealing with society at large
Edit:
Really sells it that he fucks up the tooling on his cnc mill while giving a rant about freedom. This was during his “I can’t actually run a cnc mill yet but am learning how phase” but he was leaning on his previous expertise to sell his opinion on the caravan
I don't know how you can in one sentence refer to it as a "conspiracy theory" then in the next describe a massive in-the-open conspiracy to coerce people to get vaccinated against their will. Which prior to covid would have been considered a gross violation of medical ethics.
Now reports and studies are coming out showing the Canadian govt and many other govts way over reacted to COVID.

I just didn’t enjoy him enough to deal with him going on a giant rant about how covid wasn’t real and the government was suppressing him from his god given right to breathe on us all.
I checked through his YouTube channel now and he seemed to have calmed down but I am not concerned about dropping him again if he goes crazy conspiracy theorist for his YouTube channel income once more. And that’s without counting how many videos he had showing off his basic chicken rearing or fucking around and failing at cnc milling
I guess if you're a more sensitive, tow the line type you may have been put off.

Your articles aren’t convincing me anymore that these were crazies. The second article for instance isn’t scientists saying lock downs weren’t needed but that it wasn’t scientists, and that committee of medical scientists in particular, role to be making wide sweeping changes to society. A completely reasonable position that doesn’t change whether or not lockdowns were needed
Thats called the democratic process.
