Big thank you to @Ryan Reynolds for the cameo!

[ChrisRaynorMD]

Very cool to see how Nitinol is produced. We use this all the time for guidewires and some of the implants that were discussed. Very cool stuff.

[somekid]

i love the idea of wolverine carrying around a lighter and just going "whoa, hang on a sec, gotta fix my claws" only to pull out a lighter and sit there for 30 seconds as they straighten themselves out

[superman]

You guys nailed the Deadpool bit. It was totally unexpected!

[kidney]

You just need fast healing now and and Superhero movie franchise is yours. I bet Hugh Jackman is shivering in terror right now.

[alexandruulesan]

How every conversation with the Hacksmith ends:
"Sound awesome, let's do it"

[sanguis]

Imagine you finally break Wolverine's claws and he just goes "Time out" and pulls out a Hacksmith mini-lightsaber he bought for a great price on the Hacksmith store

[dablazingbryan]

Not as strong as your other claws, but the science behind these is MUCH cooler. Now if you can fuse it with another metal to make them as powerful and self healing, it’d be pretty cool

[notcastey]

Claws are a little thin, a slightly thicker ones could end up more deadly. There was a thickness limit for nitinol to retain ability to self-heal?
PS. Thanks, THANOS that I'm already a channel member, Deadpool was a little scary.

[madisonpictures]

That door part is more of a testament to James’ strength than to the claws lol. That was sick!

[uiomancannot]

I wonder if these claws would be better with some kind of stiffener, cause if they deform they're just losing some power, especially since Nitinol is rather soft.

2009: wolverine claws
2021: retractable, self healing wolverine claws
2035: retractable, self healing, electric charged, prosthetic wolverine claws

[thedmindedguy]

Hey Hacksmith, nitinol can be reformed by passing electricity through it...we can incorporate it to the claws instead of taking a heater each time it gets deformed

[winterhat]

All I can imagine is wolverine bending his claws on a chair and having to pull out a heat gun and awkwardly heat them up so they go back to shape

[wazrokk]

Time to upgrade the claws! MKe them into retractable gauntlets individual or as a group and make the glove heal them up to heal them when retracted!

[jamesmacknight]

It would be cool if you heated the claws up by passing an electric current through them. Then you wouldn’t have to get your lighter out every time, you could just flip a switch

[Chris-nwif]

Does nobody see anything like a “Deadpool” backyard scientist? Hello?!

[ajesuslover]

anyone else rememer when we all used pencils and pretended we were wolverine? relatable isnt it.

[uuddlrlrbas]

Imagine Wolverine just bringing out his lighter everytime he damaged his claw XD
"This'll take a minute bub."

[Ghost_Os]

Genuinely surprised they held up so well before deforming.
