They claim it’s tough. Let’s find out. #tough #shorts #madeinusa #garage #shop #heater
What happens here
Following the initial drop, the mini excavator continues to manipulate the SunFire heater. It drags the heater across the ground, lifts it again, and drops it multiple times, often rolling it over. The heater is also pushed and rolled using a large log, subjecting it to various forms of impact and compression. This continuous abuse aims to test the structural integrity from different angles and forces.
Goal: Subject the heater to sustained and varied impacts.
