SMITH and WESSON versus DAN BETHEL project Throwing Axe

[spoopa92]

My friend has the same axe. It broke in a day....

It seems like the only way to get good products these days are to spend a shit ton and have something custom made by someone in their garage or make your own things.

[danbethel]

@spoopa92 The one I made in the video cost about $2 in scrap metal, and maybe $15 in welding and grinding, still cheaper than the axe.

[hojomojo3]

what a thoughtful brother! your awesome!

[danbethel]

@hojomojo3 It's alot easier than saying it with words.....plus it sticks around, lol

[how0will0this0end]

Good work Dan. Damn right about that offshore crap. That would piss me off too.

[danbethel]

@how0will0this0end I think I was more pissed that my brother trusted the name brand, because at one time, S&W was a good company. To see the disappointment in his eyes, bothered me.

[MrPinhead11]

looks good. we need a sparkey gokart update!

[danbethel]

@MrPinhead11 Sorry to say, Joe destroyed Sparkey. He got mad at it for breaking, and jumped it off a huge rock. Although we have been talking about making another mini rock crawler.

[supercow61]

We need to stop buying shit from China!!!!

[danbethel]

@supercow61 Amen!

[tgator34]

And what kind of bikes do you all ride?

[danbethel]

@tgator34 First off, this is about poorly made stuff. My Ninja is the fastest bike on the planet, and Joe's is second. Yes it was a choice over harley's way over priced pile of shit. Second, I don't sell my wears under a guise that it represts soldiers, the USA, like Smith&Wesson do on facebook. If Harley, S&W, etc stop making over priced shiney crap, I'd buy it. But they don't, so until they do, I'll make it, or ride the best of the best.

[Moonfleet41]

Typical of a proud company handing over control of thier reputation to dickless suits who wear slipon shoes and drink skinnylatte..... anything 'Yiddle-eye-po' is bound to be a POS....good job the brave guys and girls fighting ragheads dont have the same shite equipment..... Good work as ever Dan... Merry Chrimbo to yooz all from Blighty... Del.

[danbethel]

@Moonfleet41 AMEN Mr Del! People, no matter the country, are tired of crap being pushed off as quality.

[warci]

"i'm just a dude in a garage, what's your excuse?"... You should epic quote make that into a T-shirt! It's not a usa-only problem bud, here in europe it's exactly the same deal. But if you look around you can find most stuff is still locally produced by small companies/individuals and they make stuff as it -should- be. It's generally not even more expensive than the money-grabbing-corporate-garba­ge!

[danbethel]

@warci I have a feeling that most of the CRAP is coming from CHINA. I've been boycotting them for 6 years, Joe finially learned the lesson why. If we all stopped buying their stuff for 1 year, we would cripple their economy.

[phill903]

Nice job on the throwing axe Dan !! Merry Christmas

[danbethel]

@phill903 It work pretty good, lol.

[WMFirefighter09]

All agreed brother !! Todays tools are junk and all about the money not the quality. You and Joe have a Merry Christmas !! Take care.

[danbethel]

@WMFirefighter09 I say it's time to not only Boycott China, but every store that carries their crappy goods.

[jacktheripped]

Is that like sintered metal? Like those new Chevy connecting rods are powdered metal? what the fuck is that? same shit as that ax is what it is. Connecting rods. maybe the most critical piece in a motor.

But, hey, some bozo sat at a computer and designed that ax...now, was it designed to fail? sure looks like it.

[danbethel]

@jacktheripped Its like that part we found in Staci's VW, the tie rods for the front steering was made of plastic. I guess the auto saftey market pukes are sleeping on the job. I say boycott all these pukes until their heads come out, or just buy from eachother, fuck em'! LOL

[jacktheripped]

@danbethel ...plastic steering components? that's a criminal case waiting to happen and hopefully it's not Stacy that files it :P

[danbethel]

@jacktheripped Yeah, ]Joe and I made a metal piece to replace it, new VW Beatkes are dangerous.

[lawsy29]

nice bud ....nothin like the old days the new shit is junk....

[danbethel]

@lawsy29 Time to buy from one another, and boycott. I've been at it for some years now, one of the reason YouTube like messing with me. But if every country, chose to not by chinesse goods for one year, we wouldn't hear anything from the Chinese, as they would be broke.
