Watching Tyler keep saying “Ohh now I figured out what was going wrong, I got this now” and repeatedly fail has gotta be the best thing on the internet😂😂

Machetes are supposed to be top heavy. They're made for chopping, and the extra metal on the end is supposed to make it easier to chop.

We need a most expensive vs cheap one of this. I would watch it

The Gordon or harbor freight one probably cut the bottles the best because it is so thin. It also probably dulls the fastest. Remember machetes aren't supposed to be very sharp because they don't need to be very sharp to cut through green plants, and if they are too sharp they roll the edge and dull quickly on thicker branches that you also have to cut through.

I would assume the Fiskars is the best option for actual use.

Holy cow, look at the gouges in the edge of the Coleman after the second chop test. That is garbage quality steel. The most important factor when determining how good a machete is, is not how sharp of an edge you can put on it, but how long will it hold the edge after being sharpened.

I love how the spaghetti is still on the wall in the background

“Shipped this back to the cave man days” Damn, Tyler just solved the time travel enigma

Before finishing the video I just want to say I have been absolutely satisfied by every Fiskars product I've purchased. Axe, Hatchet, Cultivator, Scissors. They make good stuff.

My 2 favorites machete brands for real good quality and a $20 budget are:
-Tramontina; made in Brasil and really used hours a day by real worker to cut sugar canne.
- 32 Dumas-ainé (that you may pronounce « trant-dou duma-haynee » 😅). Come from Frenche West Indies. A little more pricy, but real good steel.

"Fiskars" is a well known brand from Finland. they have most things that are used in a garden. Axes, rakes, secateurs, rakes, shovels, shovels and more

tyler’s a lot more confident when recording compared to 3 years ago his content has improved so much and his confidence on camera

The angle you chop it is extremely important. You're cutting less fibers at one time and they slice like butter. At a side to side angle, you're essentially trying to cut them all at once. It's the same concept as ripping a phone book in half. You don't rip the book. It's each page at once but one page at a time.

[scotterdog]

Machetes are sharpened for cutting the material they are used to cut. Most machetes will have a more blunt edge on them for cutting light brush and small branches. This will give increased durability and maintain an edge for longer. An extremely sharp machete will lose its edge much quicker than a slightly duller one.

Tyler Leveled up!

that Coleman with the green cloth cover thing is like the one I got as a kid. I remember getting them from a hardware store me and my brother they were like 6 bucks.

[bcbbrog]

honey, he's out there calling 2x4s trees and chopping them with machetes

[Kronkulus]

Go to Lowes and get a Tramontina machete for $20 and you can use it forever. It is a standard bush style blade made of 1750 I am pretty sure so it holds an edge well and has served me well for years. Makes a great gift too.

I love Tyler's content. He is a dude scientist, answering all of the important questions.

[Nerfswat]

"I've had ten of these in my lifetime, doing things kids do with machetes" who on earth owned a machete as a kid?! Let alone multiple?! XD

I still have a sugar cane machete that my grandpa bought in 1974. The edge is slightly concave now from 40+ years of sharpening, but he always kept a coat of grease on it and hit it with the occasional rust pad to keep the pitting away, so it's still in surprisingly good condition overall.
