    Default Blade strength showdown!!

    Here are some videos of me stress testing my blades and a MR blade. Ok I had to convert them and it tweaked them a bit but oh well. It made the audio sound really wierd lol.

    My 11 year old son putting all of his weight on one of my blades and he cant make it touch the floor.

    Here he is again bouncing with both feet on the blade.

    This is how the MR blade did.

    Hearing the snap bare seconds into the test was hilarious. Obviously BIG difference between 1/8" and 1/16" walls.

    Thanks for testing and posting this for us, Tim.

    I cant seem to view them even after they got switched to wmv format-I must have computer problems.

    The MR blade is not 1/16" walled, it's thinner. There's a big difference between an MR blade and a 1/16" walled polyC tube.

    I am not sure how the test would turn out with the 1/16" walled PolyC as I dont have any to test.

    Either way, your videos are impressive and make for some good marketing. So I'll be using your tubes in my sabers from now on. I just placed the order.
