The Rubberaulic Press: Pure, Brutal Demolition!


This is a cooperation with one of the most successful Destruction channels on YouTube: The Hydraulic Press Channel.

We love those guys as all they do is crushing stuff with a hugely powerful press. This pure, undiluted and single minded dedication to demolition is simply fascinating.

The result is some kind of crazy combination between a guillotine and a sledge hammer - but it does its job quite properly. See how the Rubberaulic Press destroys lead balls, coins, a (counterfeit) Breitling watch, an iPhone with stainless steel cover and even a golden ring.

A "The Slingshot Channel" production!
