Can We Break An Obsidian Block With A Giant Hammer?

Who was the best salesman for the NordVPN Holiday Season Deal?? Go to nordvpn.com/howridiculous to get a 2-year plan plus 1 additional month with a huge discount.

Please do a block of quartz at night!! It’s piezoelectric, so it arcs/sparks from electricity when crushed! Should look amazing!!

Fun fact: obsidian isn't actually that difficult to break, its like strong glass, but it makes sharp shards if it does break so don't touch it. If you're unprofessional of course.

I don't think I'd ever get anything important done if I owned that hammer. I would definitely have the world's largest collection of flattened things though.

I know that I can’t be the only one who would want some of the pieces of all the exploded blocks 😂

Yeah, that's so cool. In the next video, I'd like to see a full nether portal getting smashed. ❤

I love how they get straight to the good stuff unlike other content creators who seem to just make filler content to reach the 10 minute mark 😂 I love your channel dont ever stop making dope content

I have been watching this channel for years! I absolutely love your work and it amazes me so much on how much effort you guys put in your videos. I love seeing rex all the time!

Rexy has been through the thick and thin of situations. Love him! 🤣🤣

16:20 props to pipe for taking most of the hammer while the others ran away

When smashing aerosol cans you need to have like a blow torch setup close by so it will auto ignite the butane used to pressurise them! Even more fun for the slowies.
Edit: seeing as more people keep commenting...
And I've commented this already
I would expect if the guys did it they would take all precautions to make sure they didn't burn more of Australia away!
Also I don't go around burning stuff so those precautions aren't something I've ever thought about.

Love how you get straight to the good stuff, and don’t tease it and just do boring into for 10 mins before showing us what we want to see lol

Imagine growing up to live one of your childhood fantasies, dropping a huge hammer and seeing what it does to obsidian 🤣

I love how rexy stands there all the time 😂

That piece of wood just did a sick dodge and got its head smashed off, looked epic. Definitely my fav.

I too am slack-jawed that Gaunson’s “are we scraping the bottom of the barrel” got no reaction there was clear effort put into that delivery!

We can all agree that he never disappoints us with her content

4:18 the legos definitely would have been fine if the last missing piece was there.

Jack losing it in the background at Herron’s pitch has me in stitches 😂

That wine barrel was my fave because it had the awesomeness of the splash near the end combined with the wood pieces going everywhere

I wonder how well an exercise ball filled with non-newtonian fluid would hold up against the hammer.

I gotta say the Rexy placement is on point my guys!!

It’s amazing how some local boys from Perth have grown to be some of the best UAclipsrs ever. Love ya work bois

I go with the plumage of liquid as well. The bloom of red was epic.

Omg that was insane and I really think you guys should do more videos like this!
I really want that jack pot!

Lads, I think it’s time to bring back the see-saw… with the hammer launching items off it!

I'm shocked. The safes were somewhat challenging. I thought that they were going to be easy to smash.

You guys are real living legends
i wonder when Rexy will be nothing more then some bones and a myth

The giant hammer series is awesome!

They definitely let Herron win that last rock off lmao.. planned XD you could so tell 👀🤣

Love the new format, its great seeing you guys get right into it

I vote the springs just because of how we get to see the springs slowly come together, before the smashed.

My favorite was the 44 drum that gave a beautiful rainbow, Very cool🌈 !

I wonder if it will be able to break the most secure safe?

Wine barrel was probably my fav for slowy, as that eood separating, and the green coming through were just hard yo beat.

I'm a fan of the wine barrel. The surge out from the cracks followed by a second blast when it hits. I think you can also see the delay in the shockwave shaking the camera.

I love how the baseball bat saves the wood like the wood starts getting hit then the bat hits it out the way

I'd say this was a smash hit, smashing! You really crushed it,lol!

I would definitely put my face away when the lego block was smashed. Camera man was insane too

I love when rexy is always there

For me the water-filled barrel was the Slowie of the Day; the water coming out of the slats as the whole barrel compressed was so cool! Thanks for the great video guys! 🧡💜

I'm really curious what would happen if you did the same thing to an lightly armored personnel carrier (an Bradley, or Russian btr)

You could do an entire video on filling barrels with different colors of water. That was cool

I wanna say that I like how u guys get straight into it

I miss them dropping things. That was for some reason the fun of it

I like how they get straight into it, not waiting and explaining what’s happening

Obsidian was used to make weapons and ritual knives, so it shure was heck of a sharp piece!

I like how the metal barrel of red water went everywhere and created a rainbow at the top

I was waiting for the cut before it hits. They just went straight into it. No build up to the reason why there doing it. Love it.

Sounds to me like we need a more powerful spring! Maybe a challenge for Mark Rober and another collab?

Gaunsons face when no one laughed at his "bottom of the barrel" joke was PRICELESS

Best slowy was def the obsidian. It sparkled as it caught the mid afternoon sun. Stunning.

I'm happy you guys finally got a Phantom. Makes everything look better.

Nice to see another channel from my country doing well

They could have saved more time with a diamond pick

Water explosions always do it for me, so the wood barrel with the green water was the slowy for me, but the Steel barrel with the red water is a good second for me
Keep up the crushin boys ;P

Wait, so is the hammer just falling from gravity, or is it the machine pushing the hammer plus gravity?

If you want big springs surely those off (especially large) aircraft landing gear would pack a hefty punch.

"You can't compress water."
Me: "That's... what ice is."

With all that obsidian dust, you reckon they might've been at risk for pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis?

I really want to know if this hammer would explode a stack of paper like a hydraulic press does

What a fun job these guys have !

should make some sort of transparent floor where you can safely have a recording device underneath

Can we just take a moment to realise how much can 3 tons do

I know this is a older video but I like the wooden barrel, The green colors coming out the sides and exploding everywhere

Someone 200 years from now is going to walk out into that field, and wonder how the heck there's a spread deposit of volcanic obsidian, big chillin out there lol.
Green barrel, slowie OTD for me!

My favorite slowie of the day is definitely the barrel.

I liked the color cloud of the silly string.🙂

Them: you can’t compress water
Ice: Am I a joke to you?

the wheel unfortunate joke made me laugh more than it should

From a strictly mechanical point of view, I really liked the springs. You could see that as the springs were compressing it didn't slow the hammer one bit, but as soon as the coils stacked solid, there was a massive hesitation in the hammer for an instant.
The best looking one, my vote goes to the metal drum.

Everyone knows you need a diamond pickaxe to break obsidian 😂

You should give us the download link for the raw footage, because I would assume it would be in 4K and that is something I would adore seeing

"slowy of the day" definitely lost it's gumption when you guys said it on literally every slow motion shot

Considering that obsidian glass shards are some of the sharpest objects we know of, roughly 10x sharper then surgery scalpels that cube was superbly dangerous and them handing the pieces barehanded made me cringe lol good stuff

I like how they get straight to the point without telling you what they’re doing and how they’ll do it for 10 minutes straight

you should try dry ice with the hammer that would look sick

I actually think the spring slowy was the best. Very informative.

In reality, all obsidian is, is just compressed glass. Although that makes it harder, it also makes it more fragile

I like how all the new rexys get "hurt" in the safe but even though rexys already been through so much and was put in a weaker safe came out perfectly fine

Editor Jack seems very talented and smart-a good compliment to the HR crew.

The most genius part of all of this, is they can sell literally ANYTHING that’s safe to sell that they’ve destroyed. Like chunks of the acrylic block? Sold. Insane. Love it.

I'm so glad one of them recognized it as a transformers cube now

This giant hammer is so fun to watch!

The slow mode of the day was the drum. I love how the red water shot up in the air like that. Like a tsunami.

Well I guess I see what a nail feels like when it's in use.
