Transparent nerf guns were by far the coolest part of this trend. seeing everything work to shoot a foam dart 20 feet made my young mind explode. that being said, all the guns I had are now a gross yellow from UV exposure. super cool to have in the moment but long term I see why it fizzled out of the norm
I’m really glad Zack cleared that up at the end. I was worried my order for a transparent JerryRig Knife wasn’t going to include a transparent JerryRig Knife.
I must admit that I tried casting a mold of my knife scales out of resin once. What I found odd was that people HATE scales that show some of the knife if a light is shined through. I don't get it. I love transparent things. It's honestly one of the reasons I subscribed a while back. Your love of transparent things. I remember taking photos of my old phones in the mirror, with the back piece off, to try to get that exact transparent wallpaper! That was back when you could remove a phone battery...ahh...the good ol days.
Transparent plastics are harder to make and get more brittle quicker than opaque plastic, so it's likely a mix of cost saving both immediate and long term from warranty claims.
As a former CO who had to heavily monitor, and at times take these TV's apart, it's actually surprising how people can disguise stuff even in transparent technology. The RVA transparent alarm clocks are way easier, and they're often used as lighters in prison because there's technically no actual use for an alarm clock as you're getting woken up anyways.
Bro I swear not just the durability videos but the whole" your life in these videos " has really inspired me to be a better person. From the love ypu show your wife and the fact you are going to be a great father......man I just wish you nothing but prosperity and a great future. Truly you are someone that men can look up to
Just received my clear JerryRigKnife! And man when I say that this I’m not a Knife. This is a Knofe! Solid build amazing design and super comfortable in the hand. And of course the impact resistance and durability is amazing. Only had it one day but has come in handy many times already. I’m excited to add this Clear Tech to my collection. Great Job Zack!
transparent things I've owned: Both a gameboy and an N64 controller in that exactly shade (atomic purple) A PC joystick that was transperant green (and terrible beyond that) several flashlights made out of clear plastic. A large green windup radio, you'd crank it for 30 seconds and it would run for half an hour or so. several tape players, Sentry really did made a ton of that stuff.. the side of my PC cases have been clear for the last few years, too.
I still marvel over the translucent back plate of the HTC U12+ it was actually the first phone I ever reviewed on my TH-cam channel 🥰 I wish HTC hadn't left the flagship smartphone market. Imagine a flagship HTC phone in 2022 with a 6.7 inch edge to edge OLED display, a 5000 mah battery, the snapdragon 8 gen 1 and the squeeze feature
I have been a huge fan of Transparency in everyday items, I am happy to say I have ordered and will own a transparent knife. Zack’s JerryRig channel has been my favorite for years. I haven’t missed a major unboxing or product test video and I loved every single one. These are the videos I watch when I’m feeling blue or even on my lunch breaks. Thank you for another great video
Mostly because you have to make sure the inside looks presentable as well, which when you're talking about wires and batteries and circuit boards all glues and soldered together, is easier said than done
Hearing aid professional here: we sold transparent hearing aids all the time till about 2010. It was a good color choice since it worked good with elderly peoples grey hair. However those products quickly turned yellow from UV light and bacteria. So I think thats the reason why we don’t see so much transparent tech anymore
Gotta be honest, I was really worried he was going to start disassembling or scratch-testing all those gloriously clear devices. Thanks for showing us what's inside without destroying these historical treasures!
Jerry, i just can't wait any longer for the next electric humve video. they are just too good. the transparent knife too is not bad at all, cool design!
Loved all the transparent Tech, I've gathered a fair collection myself from My Nintendo systems to phones and game carts. Love how it shows off the Tech inside, and look forward to adding a Wonderful clear knife to my set as well, however the knife will see much more daily use, as these knifes you make are wonderful and fantastic tools. Everyone at work always ask where i got mine, so i send them your way! Thanks for the ever wonderful content and knifes!
I too had one of the purple see through GBC. Although I bought mine before I went to basic training. It stayed with me for many years, through several deployments and was finally retired 10 years later when I upgraded to a DS. I do still have it though, and it lives on a shelf of honor for the 10+ thousand miles it lived through.
Had a transparent case replacement for my old Dreamcast. I painted the inside with a light dusting of Transparent purple paint. Looked like a purple gem when I was done. Yep, Teen of the 80s here.
Appreciate the morning humor! Hope you and your family are staying safe and having a great year.. I repair appliances and at many training facilities they are using transparent doors and frames to showcase how t he e technology works.. you could probably convince GE or Samsung to sell you a transparent dishwasher or microwave
Just got my transparent JerryRigEverthing knife in today's mail. It is, without a doubt, the best-constructed razor knife I've ever seen. Thanks, Zack!
This guy is my hero. Gritty do it myself kinda guy builds an elevator in his house like a Fucking hero for his disabled wife. This man might as well move to the south pole because he can put the world on his shoulders
Great video as usual Zak. I have the honour to be, since more than 10 years, the lucky owner of the beautifully transparent Harman Kardon SoundSticks Speaker System. Cheers.
I made a semi transparent lamp many years ago with no blocked out or blacked off areas, you could see into it from all angles and I did not use a mirror. It was difficult to figure out how to power it, but using a trick of shadows any edge creates I was able to hide a battery. It was made to be used on stage and be thrown around and this was before small led strips existed. Making transparent things or apparently transparent things can be used for many things, some useable others can be rather cool.
I have a transparent numeric calculator. The whole thing is clear, and you can see the traces for the capacitive "buttons" running through it. And of course the translucent iBook Clamshell laptops, although they were more prone to cracking than the white plastic ://
I ended up changing the shells on my switch controllers to transparent colored plastic because I also have a gamboy advance from back in the day thats transparent.
For Christmas as a kid I got a transparent solar panel radio that also had a hand crank, it was super cool, and I still have it to this day and my kids even love it!
I just watched this video today and ordered one of the transparent knifes because I thought it was super cool! After I placed my order, I continued the video and you started slipping in $20s. Damn should have watched this video the day it dropped! Thank you Mr. Jerry Rig for all your wonderful content
Had a Transparent game controller once, can't remember which system but it was really neat since you could see how the rumble motors and triggers worked. Also a lot of the 00s consoles had transparent editions, Xbox, PS2 etc
Nintendo 64, Xbox, and Xbox 360 controllers were all transparent! Loved looking at and learning about the electronics inside and they’re part of why I’m now an electrical engineer. Still use the transparent xbox 360 controller all the time for various pc games.
Every other TH-camr: “I used this in my video so we’re gonna auction it off for a ridiculous amount of money!” Jerry: “I used this knife on camera so I’m giving you $5 more than it cost”
I would definitely buy the knife because I'm a fan of your video's and I always liked transparent things but unfortunately I'm from Europe and the shipping cost is the same as the knife itself so yeah that's sucks 😞
I think you can't turn the kind of recycled plastic used for most new cases into transparent plastic. And they're obviously using the cheapest plastics you can get while doing what they should. That may be a reason why transparent plastic cases did quit time ago, you may need virgin plastics. And bringing even more fresh new plastics to this world is not a good idea.
My very first wall clock that I got when I was five used a see through sangtai clock movement. Sure it may not be a high quality clock but it was always nice to see the gears move in every second.
I had a transparent Beeper in high school, talk about Old Skool! And a transparent reel for my rod-n-reel once as a kid & a transparent remote control car.
@@Flying_Wrench thankfully yes, but it's not in the greatest condition, so I'm now looking to get it cleaned and a new supply cable, since i dont want to be using batteries with it
Whoa I was about 10 when I got my atomic purple GBC and Zelda Links Awakening for my birthday.. total nostalgia IMMEDIATELY hit me when you pulled that out.
I had a transparent Cassette player radio back in the early 90s and I would make silly recordings on it as well as listen to the radio and play tapes. That clear TV is pretty cool.
Im a diesel mechanic and i just bought one of those knifes to use at work. Really want to test the durability and just see how long it last. Love the videos
My First generation Xbox controller was transparent. What made it so interesting is the rumble packs inside them. You used to be able to see them create the vibration while playing!
I know this video Is old but I'm definitely getting a transparent knife when I get paid, I love collecting knives and I've lost one of mines recently so this will be an awesome addition to my growing collection! Thanks Zack, love your content man!
goddamnit you're so nice, informative, ASMR-y, good looking, man of the people, and yet still manage to make me feel like i know you. transparent IM plastics ftw.
Awesome video. I love transparent items as well. I have transparent fountain pens, mechanical pencils, watches and knives. I would love for this trend to be more popular
For an ad for transparent knives, this was quite entertaining. And sending what pretty much amounts to a refund and an apology for the buyer of a used knife was hilarious
Zack likes transparent stuff so much, he even dyed his hair transparent.
Ha
Lol

You can make them fully clear again with hydrogen peroxide and a UV light. You should look it up it’s really easy to do
Thanks for being TRANSPARENT with us Zack
I SEE what you did there.

He should've packed a box with 20$ and no knife, then when you get the box, you have money to buy a knife.

I’ve always wondered where transparent/neon stuff went after the 90s. I loved my transparent OG Xbox with see through controllers
Coool
Same with the limited edition N64s. For some reason they were cool, despite being objectively ugly 😉
Transparent plastics are harder to make and get more brittle quicker than opaque plastic, so it's likely a mix of cost saving both immediate and long term from warranty claims.
I have some transparent madcatz controllers for my og xbox.
i have a transparent xbox360 controller, and it has led lights in it. its really cool!

Watching Zack unbox a clear knife, with another knife while one was clearly visible on the table was just so funny to me
People keep asking me about the bling that I have in my pocket, "Why yes, that is a JerryRigEverything knife."
🤔
Finally, prisoners can own a knife. They just had to wait for someone to make a transparent knife
SAVAGE...:-)

I still have my "Atomic Purple" GBC in prestine condition😁 it's one of my most cherished possessions from my childhood...
Ur mom
Those GBCs look the best out of all the classic GBCs.
I have it as well. The backplate is broken slightly because i used to take it on and off (stimming). Still works perfectly though!

3:02 glass is glass and it scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7
transparent things I've owned:
Both a gameboy and an N64 controller in that exactly shade (atomic purple)
A PC joystick that was transperant green (and terrible beyond that)
several flashlights made out of clear plastic.
A large green windup radio, you'd crank it for 30 seconds and it would run for half an hour or so.
several tape players, Sentry really did made a ton of that stuff..
the side of my PC cases have been clear for the last few years, too.

Transparent tech is just so cool to look at! I wonder why most companies just don’t do that anymore
Mostly because you have to make sure the inside looks presentable as well, which when you're talking about wires and batteries and circuit boards all glues and soldered together, is easier said than done
You have to design two products at once. The inside AND the outside.

@@Andi-jp5oe this is 100% the main reason. Old transparent plastic didn't hold up to UV well. We've gotten a bit better at it.
Protection against UV

Nice. Around 1980's ish, my parents bought me a transparent credit card sized calculator which was awesome back then.
Jerry, i just can't wait any longer for the next electric humve video. they are just too good. the transparent knife too is not bad at all, cool design!
I am waiting for some genius to make a transparent washer so you can know when it starts leaking ,or has problems.

Well this will be number 4. Keep coming up with new models and I'll keep buying them. Phenomenal knife by the way!

Jerry: “I used this knife on camera so I’m giving you $5 more than it cost”
the happiness in your face while you smacked the knife with a hammer, with the caption [Hammering sounds] made me chuckle.
I would definitely buy the knife because I'm a fan of your video's and I always liked transparent things but unfortunately I'm from Europe and the shipping cost is the same as the knife itself so yeah that's sucks 😞
same here. knife: 14.99$, shipping 15.34$ :/
the shipping is more a killer than the knife
Same here… like lots of products from Canada/us
Ditto, would love the knife but shipping to the land down under is $18+, then converting to AUD I’m paying nearly $50 AUD 😳
Dude if you're an European just go to Action, same knife for 4€, i love Zack and his videos but his merch is just rebranded generic Chinese knifes
“Keeping with the 90’s vibe, you gotta catch them all”!🤣
