1. Congratulations on the redesign of the chopper: You designed the Ulu knife.

2. That french fry maket is garbage but I know of very similar ones that work a charm and are used in professional kitchens

3. What weird kind of cheese is that?

4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEc_PJui-RA

   Same chopper, the blade is upside down for industrial chopper

5. I don't understand your struggles with the industrial chopper. I don't mean this in a bad way it's just I'm very short and not very strong and did fine using a older one that wasn't sharp and wasn't level when I worked for a pizza place

6. THE INDUSTRIAL CHOPPER IS A DICER! YOU HAVE TO SLICE THE OBJECT FIRST! JESUS! IT WORKS GREAT IF YOU KNOW HOW TO USE IT! Also the blades might be in upside down.

7. Half the stuff isn't used properly,, read the instructions 🙄

8. Just use a knife malaka

9. I use the second one at work an you have to slam it and it can cut tomatoes with it and I have no idea

10. Look at Dan recreating an Ulu knife!

11. It's always kinda funny to me how 90% of the time a knife is a better solution

12. I couldn't imagine how much of a waste the Prepara salad chopper would be. However, I watched a promo video on YT for the tool and they intend you to slice tomatoes, etc on the cutting board, not in the bowl. https://youtu.be/QPmgtnvP8J4

13. I dont belive this guy says who he really is.

14. 5:54 looks like cutting edge placed at wrong direction

15. So the first item you fixed turned into an Alaskan native Ulu knife

16. Im so confused how hes never used a industrial chopped and has been working with kitchen gadgets for 40 years…. I think maybe the blades face down when you buy it is a good possibility

17. THE INDUSTRIAL CHOPPER WORKS WITH FRUIT. STRAWBERRIES, KIWI, ETC. DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND TRY AGAIN.

18. This is dumb af

19. I've used models like the Vector before and with great success; however, you have to prep the veggies (or fruit) correctly if you plan to use it. Putting the whole veggie in there DOES NOT WORK. We always cut our tomatoes in half, and if they were really juicy/soft, we woudn't be able to use the chopper. It also required some measure of force and speed to do effectively, not simply press down on it. We would be able to get through 1 case of tomatoes in 20 minutes. @Epicurious

20. Having a decent amount of experience with an industrial vegetable chopper, Im pretty sure you're using it wrong. You have to oil the slide rods on the side so that it moves up and down easier. Im also fairly certain the blade is upside down because it should be more than sharp enough to cut through that potato. Something like the pepper, or the tomato, you need to cut it into smaller pieces so that they are less likely to just get flattened. I used one almost exactly like this and never had this much trouble with it. I think the only difference is it may have been wider

21. Maybe the industrial chopper was a Chinese fake.

22. He didn't use the second device correctly at all. Those long rods are so he can bring the plunger up very high and swiftly and forcefully bring it down. Also appears to have been dull.

23. I'm pretty sure the industrial dicer is supposed to slam down on 1-2 cm cut medallions, not half a potato

24. The re-designed salad chopper is an ulu—a traditional Inuit women’s knife, used for chopping and scraping.

25. I think the Inuit people have already invented the first gadget properly

26. the first one already exists, reminds me of an Ulu knife

27. wow that cheese cutter is so bad, a simple nylon string can do it much better

28. 😂 when he smashes the pepper and tomato!

29. I use to use the 2nd chopper for onions at work I called it a guillotine. It always required alot of strength to use it and I would still have to cut the onion into smaller pieces. I agree with the zero rating. I was so glad when we switched to chop onions that came in a bag.

30. The cheese chopper I would never use but you have to have the cheese touch the back.

31. All improvements shown here are instantly protected from the company using because how patents work.

32. The cheese cutter needs a spinning blade and a mandolin slicer combined.

33. So weak!!!

34. Is seeing him banging on the vegetables with the commercial chopper made me laugh

35. who in the hell eats kale salads? lettuce or spinach is the only way.

36. 12:30 or whenever, the white thing is obviously supposed to be flush with the cheese to push it forward and keep it in the right spot !!!!!!!!!!!!!

37. Knife always wins over mechanical engineering

38. This guy can’t be serious with the dicer, if he is he’s a moron.
