JerryNY Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 He started out the video kinda trashing the quality, and the trigger switch does look cheap and Ryobi cut some corners, but in the end he seems impressed with all that's going on in there with some nice parts etc... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Definitely a interesting video and an interesting character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I can only take this guy in small amounts, I like what he does and its cool to see inside the tools, but his he is very opinionated and seems kind of biased at times IMO.

comp56 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 ya no one forces me to watch his video's and I usually don't only because for such a so called smart guy he talks stupidly. I don't think he taken apart anything he has liked, and then bases his thoughts on what is inside and not on the actual function of the item. If you ever notice he makes things sound like most things will break the third time you use it. Maybe he should use the product fora few hours to see what and how it works instead of taking it apart right out of the box. I know my paper clips are not made out of acculating titanium but none of them have failed to keep paper together for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNY Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I hear the criticisms but I see it as entertainment tool porn and his knowledge of how things work is pretty good. He ain't everyone's cup of tea. That being said I've been really curious how the air strike worked inside and appreciated seeing one torn apart with accompanying explanations of what we were looking at. It's worth a view just to see how complex cordless nailers are inside. It seems the Milwaukee version underwent some reduction in component size in that cylinder part because it looks externally much smaller...

I'm not the huge AvE fan like I used to be because his reviews are generally anything new sucks and a tools should be made as big and bulky as possible to have the most durability.

I know my paper clips are not made out of acculating titanium but none of them have failed to keep paper together for me.That's just his "persona" when he reviews. He is a smart guy despite the goofy mispronunciations. The thing I like is that he is equally hard on all tools.He is a machinist and he applies that knowledge to tools. The build quality is what really interests him and most of his viewers. To that end, just using a tool for awhile only tells you it does what it is supposed to. It doesn't give you insight into the overall quality and longevity. I for one appreciate the detail of his reviews, the time he takes to research what the housings a made of etc...He really seems bummed about Milwaukee selling out to TTI and Ryobi licensing its name only to TTI, same with Rigid. I had no idea there was such a huge difference between them. That's pretty interesting to me.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Dude kinda talks like a pompous turd. I'm a machinist too,but dont go out of my way with arrogance. In the machining trade sure you gotta look at things from a certain perspective,but really get to the point man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yea he can be a dick most of the time for sure. From what can gather from watching his older videos he is some kind of engineer/ trouble shooter for some mining equipment company. He travels all over the place but he still a ass wipe. Too smart for his own good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrull Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 He does what few or no one else does. Bragging and testing the feeling of tools we got loads of information out there to do. And reviwers like the TIA, give a lot of good information. But I'd love the extra information AVE gives on the inner workings, material analysis and electrical analysis. The conclusion, I'd make for myself anyhow, so no problem if he think things shit, if the review is good, all is good. :-DMight me that I'm juat "that" kind of person that takes interest in the inside of the tools, just as much of how good it does daily. It helps me fix the tools too, and that might save me money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
