Yeah I've seen those reviews, and they are interesting to watch to see how some cheap manufacturers are quickly catching up to brand name tools. Some of the tests though are like why the fuck are you testing that.

AvE is a genius, no two ways about it, I wish I could get to know the guy, he's obviously got some sort of electrical background, he also seems to have done his fair share of machinist/millwrighting work, it's impressive to watch someone with his level of knowledge speak to things.

Just go watch his review of the first hilti drill he got on his channel. Talking about the injection molding of the handle, the glass fiber reinforced plastic, the quality of the trigger switch, the stages to the machining of the pinion gear and the main drive mechanism. It's impressive stuff, and a lot of what he says although very technical, and probably boring to a lot of people directly correlates to the longevity of a tool.
