I've been watching him for a year now, and he's just working his audience and giving them what they want, sometimes he'll humor the absolute fucking retards that show up in his comment section, ie: Grounding and EMP Beanies, for the sheer fucking comedy of it and he knows his audience well enough to know what they like and don't like so he plays up to it much like AvE, 1puglife and many other guys out there do. They see what their audience likes and just fuckin runs with it, we know he's memeing on the retards, he knows he's memeing on the retards its just the retards that don't know he's memeing on them.
Just started getting his shorts in my recommendations and something seemed grifty so I had to look him up. Seems like an annoying fuck but based on the recaps of some his antics on reddit he seems insane enough for a thread.
I keep getting more wranglerstar stuff, even though I'm not subscribed to him. And still sometimes it's interesting and sometimes it's schizo.
Reason I'm bumping this, it's a small comment, but maybe it's interesting: I saw someone describe exactly what I've been feeling watching his videos. They said that he's exhibiting symptoms of mania. And that really clicked. Over the past year or so, I feel like he's been coming off as increasingly manic over time. Not always, sometimes he has normal, boring videos like about chopping wood. But sometimes he's just super... wound up, for no obvious reason, and he's rambling about schizo stuff or how to make homemade explosives and things like that.
Like even if you're into guns or outdoorsy stuff (I can be sometimes), you should be able to talk about it without your heart rate going up. Without getting a weird gleam in your eye. Just be chill dude.
Idk I hope someone can check in on him from time to time.

Schizo affective or bipolar disorder? He's coming of the maniac episode now.I think a bit.
Take a look at his right eye though, drooping right eyelid not in his earliest videos.
I've been watching him for many years. Used to make really good content about different tools, and advice on how to make or improve things. It seems to me like he is going full schizo on top of just becoming a youtube slut. He makes a video about every stupid thing throughout his day now just to shit out content. I imagine his entire day now solely consists of one thought "how can I turn this into a video for my beloved prohos"
The only thing that is lacking for lolcow status is public drama. Otherwise, he is quickly becoming a full schizo posting some crazy stuff along with full cringe content on "life advice" for kids of single mothers.

I can see him taking a pop at AVE again, he's mentioned him before an it was at first positive and then turned hostile an AVE took a shot back and he backed down, AVE did a mention of him in a video with excessive levels of Bumblefuck insults and that was the end of it but Needssawranglertard looked pissed for a while.
He seems like he's either huffing his own farts or something has happened to him mentally because he iss really is declining.

^This guy has the right idea about him. In addition, Wranglerstar made a "Suicide plug" (An extension cord with two male ends) because "he couldn't find one in the hardware store," and when people told him WHY they were dangerous and he should take the video down, he mocked them. If the man wants to kill himself, that's his prerogative, but when he actively mocked his users who actually know more than him, well now, I don't trust a thing he posts that is outside my own knowledge base. Here is a reddit post documenting the whole thing. Frankly I don't watch him at all anymore. The guy is a grifter, and there are better people to learn from on YouTube. If you want honest gun reviews, for example, Paul Harrell is the guy to go for.
I'm commenting here because it's probably too long for a profile post, and it's semi-on-topic since I learned a lot of this from AvE who has been discussed here. Consider this a recommendation you asked for on MATI. Milwaukee is the premium brand for Techtronic Industries, a HK based tool multinational. They have a pretty distinct edge in brushless tools and lithium ion battery tech. Beyond the brands listed there they will also contract manufacture for other brands. This is fairly common among tool giants. DeWalt is the premium brand for Stanley Black & Decker (distinct from the Stanley cup people), an American based tool multinational.
With individual tools you might see Milwaukee or Dewalt with the better offering. Mutually incompatible, and expensive, batteries/chargers are going to be where you really need to pick one and stick with it across the board. Unless you're going to put in >40 hours a week using these at a job the quality differences are going to be negligible. However, if you go for the ""prosumer" alternatives like Porter Cable, Black & Decker, Craftsman, Ryobi, etc. you will see more apparent differences between a TTI/Stanley offering. They'll also generally be worse than a DeWalt/Milwaukee of the same generation.
If you're looking for the best of a specific tool you should also consider Makita (glorious Nippon), Festool (German), and RIGID (USA via Emerson). These are generally better than DeWalt/Milwaukee in specific segments but you'll pay more for it. Again, unless you're leaving the Internet to go work a trade they're likely unnecessary.
Best advice for home/personal use- outside a basic toolkit with hand tools, start with an inexpensive option from Harbor Freight (not the absolute cheapest). If it ends up being a one and done use case you're not out a bundle. If you use it enough that you become frustrated with the quality, or it breaks, you now know to look at the better brands and have a better idea what you're looking for. You don't need brand new and places like pawn shops or Facebook marketplace are awash in laborers needing money.
Hand tools- For oddballs you can use the same HF strategy. Some of their stuff is getting more expensive now so I'd check Northern Tool and Rural King. If it is the same price as a better brand obviously start with that. For screwdrivers I'd recommend getting a cheap 6-in-1 for general use. It'll be ~$5, work for most uses, and when you abuse and break it you won't be wasting money. Wiha is the nicest, but Klein is generally in the sweet spot for quality vs. cost. 32585 and 32614 are great small screwdrivers for people with tech interests. Probably handles >90% of what you need and would accept cheap bits for most of the other 10%. For pliers you cannot beat Knipex. They are not cheap but they are worth it:
8603180- for when you should use a wrench, or when you needed two wrenches but only have one.
8701250- when the above doesn't grip hard enough.
7401160- A good set of dikes has near infinite value, these are the best.
2611200- long enough to reach annoying shit, small enough to get there, and strong enough to do the job.
Another thing to consider, if you want to buy off brand power tools from Asia that take power tool batteries, 99% of the time they will take a Makita battery.
Or if you really like the oddballs, like the roomba ($1200 + tax doh), jacket, bike or coffee maker, assisted wheelbarrow.
Makita makes good woodwork tools (and generally decent set as a whole) with decent warranty. I personally like their egronomics better that Milwaukee. Their automotive tools are "meh" and their friction ring design is stupid as fuck compared to Milwaukee.
