Testing The Worst Tool Ever Made 

Most skookum box opener I've ever seen ;)

YESSS

AVE sure did find the best use for it

keep your d#@k in a vise!

Exactly who i was thinking of

Ha ha, worst thing is you want a sharp pruning blade for bonsai to reduce scarring. So those tiny lumberjacks could only use this for felling the tiny trees!

What is this? A chainsaw for ANTS?

its for those who need to prune trees with 2-3 centimeter of branches...dont say things you arent smart enough to understand

@@konstantinospii5500 that's the joke you moron

We use them for bamboo

For half the price you get electric garden sheers

@@Martin_919 you ever tried to cut a thick stick or 2 by 4 with electric shears my guy?

@@kcarch25unkown27 don't need to, I have real tools

Now it kind of makes sense why this exists.

I have the 18V version (this one is 12V) for exactly this reason, going through tree branches that are too big for manual shears. For that purpose I find it fantastic.

Its also not bad to cut dry wall. But still no Tool for me :D

dang dude I'm gonna blow your mind!!! oscillating tools and jigsaws blow this thing outta the park

I think I could have made better cuts than this, the blowouts through, those are bad😂

The multi tool exists…

@@owenarmstrong5265 what’s wrong with multitools?

You are so smart Genius

Yea exactly. Wranglerstar tends to be way too critical and forget that not all people owns a farm and do a plunge in a 40 cm diameter log. Like when he tested the green works, that thing would be great for a normal garden where you can’t use gas powered tools, but he completely misses the point if it he can’t see a use for it

Keep in mind power tools tend to vibrate a lot. I don't think an elder woman would have the same strength to hold the tool tight. Those vibrations start to hurt even my young hands after a few hours, If you wanted to cut things you could use big pruners as well, and a fraction of the cost. But yeah I think it just depends on the person,

​@@alejandrocuellar15 That's what I was going to say. An elderly person with limited strength would not even have the dexterity to not hurt themselves, they might even try to cut something downside up and split their face with that little saw... An old manual saw like that japanese would be much easier to control with limited strength and it would be unlikely to cause any harm. I get that Solus Shop only wanted to see the bright side, but I'd say there isn't one

remember this is a $200 tool. you can get a 20v dewalt oscillating saw for $99. those are fantastic for garden work compared to this.

Now that you mention it, that’s not a half bad idea....

Or 1911s, heck, two of them on the end of an M4.

Emperor protects

Sometimes video games have better ideas. Who would have thought?

What about the kids. Think about the kids........ They can mount them on their bikes . On RC to........... ($350 poorer now but sprites are high ).....

If the purpose isn't to cut wood, then what is it? A $200 box cutter?

@@whynotdean8966 It's an 80€ gardening tool, dont know what you expected tbh

@@babanbausb7225 So you agree it's worthless? Because thats what was tested in this video, and it failed miserably as a gardening tool.

@@whynotdean8966 Im guessing its for older people who dont have the ability to use a hand saw effectively. They have the time for a longer cut.

@@terrorwisp5075 Stereotypes exists because they are accurate the vast majority of the time 1355

nailed it... or sawed it.

And disposing of bodies!

yes its good only for tear apart human flesh and pumpkins

they should have called it "the hamsters ripper"

Depends that do you wanna be fast or precise

Scariest pumpkin ever!

Huh. Might not suck for drywall. Never thought of that.

I can thoroughly acknowledge that, but drywall saws are very cheap, simple and quick to use because, well its drywall. Though I definitely see the value for carvers or contractors who do a lot of drywall cutting.

lmao, not comparable to a good cut out tool from dewalt or milwaukee.

@@nytridr erm, less vibration maybe?? :)

@@rickysevens the new cut out tools are almost vibration free and powered by serious batteries so they have a ton of power.

Bosch needs to make a picatinny rail version, so it can be used as a pistol bayonet.

@@jamesmclemore9123 funny comment

The Astartes Space Marines would be pleased...though disappointed with the size, and lack of skulls decorating the housing.

Thats first thing i thought off read my comment very handy indeed dont know too many people would step up to the little fella in a defnesive situation loved your comment you think outside the box too....

what's wrong with him dying his hair?

@Billy West There's no excuse for a man dyeing his hair.

@Billy West Oh, I'm sorry - have I touched a nerve? I guess that it's not your fault either - it's society. Dry your eyes.

@Billy West Humour is subjective, so you can rest assured that someone found it funny. Seems we disagree on humour, on men dyeing their hair, and on how, despite the older generation never having it so good - when age is celebrated like never before, they're supposedly made to feel bad for ageing. "Nevermind" is probably something that we do agree on.

I think it looks very natural like Jim Traficant

You need a multi tool

Hey can it cut emt or rigid

A Fein Multy master tool can do both of those things and about 1000 more a ton better.

I’m a electrician in the USA I actually just got my masters license and am starting as a project manager Monday I still love my tools just wondering if this will cut metal

That is what i was thinking it would be good for sheetrockers and the like

Except the cut angles are nothing like that of a jigsaw, as shown in the video. You can almost 'draw' with a jigsaw, freehand. This thing's blade is too wide to even get a 30% angle into the wood. Oh...and Jigsaws cut faster than this thing. It's junk.

Actually, no... It's a gardening tool. It's for branches and bushes, not chopping trees.

I was thinking the same thing im a plumber and considering one

Me too, I don't think it's a useless tool. I don't know why is so expensive in the US

I'm also carpenter from UK. An i agree. Its a specialist tool for specific uses, exactly like what you stated. Mainly plunge cutting applications in awkward places.

I bought this when it first came out and this video is 100% correct, this is not a tool, it's a toy. There is not one single job this novelty item can do better or faster than a proper tool for the job.

Americans have problems with easy to use useful tools, and if its not BIG and LOUD with mega horespower its useless. Every tool will have a use, just because it doesnt do, or more to the point you cant use ir properly doesn’t mean its useless .

The same person who hangs pictures with a Sledgehammer!

A lot of people do, in timber framing. I've built two frames, 3x5 meters and 8 x 5 meters with some nice fitting joinery using a corded electric chain saw.

stephanvg and I used an angle grinder to cut wood, everything is possible .... theres just a lot of smoke

lol

those are my favorite unboxing vids.

IIRC even he says that is the only thing it is good for.

and he broke the first one he had.

He does enjoy it....and it does cut his unboxing time down to.

TIME!

That's pitifull even the wii had a stronger one

Michael Finlay tool manufacturers are infamous for skimping on handles and necessary non tool head parts

Watching in 2022 - 1 billion dollars

This is trash, a chainsaw will make rough cuts and leave lines. Perhaps if you were doing miniature ice but even then there’s better tools

We do have to give a tool it's due and let our tools do more of the work and not press them so hard, but each tool has an area where it is most useful. 🌎✨

A massively underated comment - it's not often that I burst out laughing reading comments. Brilliant.

Lol , where might I get those finger chaps, are they sold in the states

Very underrated comment!

Ah Ha, but are they knuckle-less chaps? I mean if one can't protect oneself and show some knuckle, then is it really worth wearing said protection in the first place? I think they could go for a thigh rig holster or a single point sling. Then youd really be a Billy or Betsy badass...😁

You are ignoring the smaller but more lucrative market of 6-yr-olds in training for a future in competitive chainsawing.

Like with machetes and the metric system

you seem to have purchased this item

I agree! Man I'm impressed at its quality considering how it held up to the force he put on it. It's not a profissional tool. It is for basic plunge cutting.

This is why I stopped watching this channel. An opinion is very clearly formed before the video starts and he just spends 15 minutes convincing you it's correct.

This. Yes

Absolutely. Wrangletstar is a BLUE Bosch kind of guy who perhaps didn't realize there is a green Bosch...

Crush carton boxes? With a 200 dollar power tool? Someone too weak to crush carton boxes by hand or with scissors shouldn't be using a power tool for their own safety. Also, is it cutting the tree down or is it pruning it to shape? If it's pruning, I'm pretty sure it would be easier to do with a small handsaw no matter how strong you are. Again, if you can't cut small branches without a power tool, don't use a power tool. It's dangerous.

again ... the price in way lower in Germany ... about 80 Euros ... so - certainly not the 200 Dollars for specialty importing stuff that is not even ready for the us electrical sockets ...

Wait, you're saying that cutting up boxes is actually an *intended* use case? You learn something new every day.

I bought my Makita angle grinder for like 100 euros worth of Hungarian toy money. A versatile and powerful tool that can, in fact, also do all the things this thing can do but better. I don't know that that price tag makes it any mroe attractive.

yeah, someone said some points in trees as well

I was thinking the same thing but how long would a chain last.

I was thinking the same thing but then I thought about how fast it would go bad motor/blade after it had a ton of sheetrock dust in it.

@@kylebrown8891 for cutting sheet rock? Probably pretty long. Even once it dulls a bit im due it will still RIP through it.

Keyhole hand saw for like $5 would be easier

@@alexjones4690 Marketing bullshit, i agree with C Dub, that thing is for rough cuts

@@kendarr why not just use a better tool? Hmm

@@the0elite Not everyone who needs to cut small branches want to use ther elbow grease, its for small rough cuts

@Tekagi but it's so cool!

Respectfully, that tool is way too over priced and using a traditional hand saw could be therapeutic in recovering from a disability

@@brokedownrides Sure, but when you only got your thumb and your ringfinger... this tool is perfect.

You know half of the applications you are mentioning can be done from a far more powerful and versatile tool..... it's called jigsaw

@@vaggelisdogas lol, only thing that I mentioned jigsaw can do better is cutting pipes. And you really think that heavy end extremely vibrating thing will be useful for people with disabilities?

So you’d cut copper plumbing pipes with this?!

There are tools better suited for that purpose for far less money. Home depot has sunjoe cordless pruning shear for around $ 60 and sun joe mini grass and hedge trimmers, cordless, for between about $20-45. Both include their own integrated battery. Ryobi has a mini hedge and grass grimmer that is similar for $45 that can be used with their regular 18v batteries if you already have those kind of tools. There's just many other options than an expensive tool from a company that's supposed to be professional tools for skilled laborers.

hzuiel Ahh, but what if the elderly lady wants to trim bushes, prune trees and cut plywood, but is too frail to carry separate tools around?

@@hzuiel this lil chainsaw is 113.00 on Amazon without battery n charger

joe king If you already have that specific bosch battery platform it's a little cheaper, but still pretty expensive. As i said those other tools include their own battery and charging cord, or the ryobi uses a much more common platform shared among household power tools with their one+ 18v line.

Falcon 9 woodtanium engines are shaped by expert lumberjacks

Yet there are chainsaw sculptures so his point is rather moot. Those artists seem to do fine with their chainsaws.

Your v stinks

well they want 140€ for it on their own website^^

On amazon UK it is 109 pounds. That is like 140 dollars.

That's the new 18v unit, not the old 12v one. The one Cody is showing in the video is the old tool, which was considerably cheaper. You can clearly see the difference between the batteries.

Ithe 12V tool isnt out of production, the 18v is just a different productline between 12v green and blue bosch. Also, its quite possible that bosch itself wants 109 pounds on amazon, but well you can fly to germany, but it in a store and fly back for that money... the bosch shop is SUPER expensive....

Wise words that apply to all RU-vid reviewers ha! Love that

its 80 Euro in Europe

That's the problem it cost enough to buy,a couple of tools that would do a better job

If you would never pay more than 1/4th it's price and it's a gimmick, then your entire argument falls apart. He has a sour attitude precisely because it's an overpriced gimmick.

Might be able to make the part that spins the chain yourself if you knew how to get it locked in with a motor and appropriate cog/gear. with UK price the blade is under $30 so $20 left to build this for under $50

Well I could see that tool being usful every now and then

Nope Die Grünen sind überkandidelte Spielzeuge um Geld zu machen mit Leuten die gern nen bekannten Namen draufstehen haben, aber möglichst wenig geld ausgeben können/wollen.. und die Grünen sind dran schuld das Bosch gaaanz viel image eingebüßt hat. und nein ich mein nicht die GRÜNEN.. das hat Bosch schon ganz alleine versaut.

I as a piano teacher find this tool great, only 1 parent ever failed to pay me

Gerard van Dijken unless you’ve absolutely got the money, I can certainly see it making some of those jobs a bit quicker, but other than that, it doesn’t seem like it would actually do anything new, or drastically decrease the difficulty in doing any of those other jobs.

Spot on - a very expensive gimmick.

@tom lewis i just want to saw some small things for crafts and arthritis makes it hard for me to handsaw. i dont want to do branches with it. though, some people with arthritis in their wrist may do better with this, than with pruners, or don't you think so? asking, not condemning!!

@tom lewis but small tasks are what i need help with. with arthritic hands..plus trying to be fast...and accurate, would this not be a good idea to use rather than a hand saw??(and i do ask that honestly, not facetiously )

@@TheLexiconDevils if you had any IQ you'd use a proper tool... This was designed by someone who played fallout a bit too much. A reciprocating saw could do 99% of what this thing claims to do better and quicker lol Hell an angle grinder would probably have more precision.

Right. This is the second or third video of his I have watched. No more. He has shown character. Poor character.

This video was satirical.

Here is an idea...Pat, you should go buy one of these and test it to see if it does everything that the manufacturer says it will do and post a video of your results. It's easy to post a critical review of a critical review from your keyboard. Try it from your woodshop next time.

never claimed it did everything claimed just that he never gave it a fair test

Then you should. How tough would that be? Test the damn thing. In the mean time...quiturbichin until you do. Once you have established that BOSCH made a $200 pruning tool, you can let us all know your honest opinions of the product. Or, you can get BOSCH to sponsor you! Then you can say whatever you want about the product.

Cory ramsey I agree I have one also an use it for similar things I cross. Theirs some lite jobs it’s good with. I mean sure theirs other more powerful tools that can do the job for the same things. But for little simple things it works pretty well. I never bought mine for home building or anything like that from ground up. Or the heavy work they marketed it for. Or what this guy is knocking it for. My purchase I’m sure with the same with you. Was a thought in mind of fairly light duty cuts that may of worked better or may of been quicker than your existing tools.

Precision handyman stuff...finally some good conversation. I'm glad it works for you, but all of the times that I have had to do precision work in a finished home, sheetrock dust WAS the enemy. This is a mini chainsaw that spits debris in all directions. Again I will state that a cheap jigsaw with a downward cutting blade is a far better, cleaner, and economical way to cut any finish hole that this thing can cut.

a lot of times i grab my dremel multimax but when it comes down to it this thing is just easier to use and yes a jigsaw does generally work very well i just find this simpler and quicker about 70% of the time

Came down here to say this....
