Snap-off blades get a price check from Chris Garage78
His six-upload week also makes room for stump-grinder sounds, a laser sander and a little workshop art.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Oscillating Blades? #tools #contractor #construction
Chris Garage78 sees the appeal of a fresh cutting edge, but not at any price. In "Oscillating Blades? #tools #contractor #construction", he reacts to a demonstration of a segmented multi-tool blade: pliers snap away the dull tip to expose another edge.
His objection is the bill. Chris says these blades cost three times as much as regular ones, and recommends a sharpener instead. The Short became his most-watched new upload of the week, reaching roughly 224,000 views. Viewers take the practical questions further: how much reach disappears with each snapped section, what keeps the blade from breaking during use, and how do you sharpen a multi-tool blade anyway?
The rest of the six-upload week ranges from "Soothing Stump Grinder Sounds? #treework #tools #contractor" to "LASER SANDER?? #tools #contractor #woodworking". The stump grinder drew the next-largest audience among the new posts, while "Welders Best Friend? #welder #tools #contractor" had a much smaller start.
Across the channel, subscribers grew and weekly views reached about 3.7 million. That was the largest weekly view gain among the nearby DIY and home channels, although Chris's current daily viewing is below his usual level. Tools In Action is enjoying a busier-than-usual daily audience; DIY Montreal is close to its normal rhythm.
The freshest momentum belongs to "My Kind of Art! #tools #mecahnic #contractor", currently attracting views fastest on Chris's channel. October's "Simple Driveway Fix? #tools #diy #contractor" also remains busy, giving the new workshop curiosities some company from an older practical fix.
