k, your guhong is set way too tight. Mine can cut more then your A2 SV. Also, your reverse corner cutting is lulz.

Yeah, seriously...I've seen claims of 43 degrees and 47 degrees in this thread. Where are you getting those numbers? Breaking out a protractor?

It cuts at a 45 degree angle, which is line to line.

Wrong. Idiot.

lol its when the edge of a corner aligns with the center of a center piece.
:) right? lol
This shows a 45 degree angle.

I was being serious. The point was not that the cubes can't cut corners well. I'm just sick of comments like "my guhng cn cUt cornres at 45 dgreeez even wen its tIght!!!!1111!!L OLMAOF2L !!1!!" It isn't true. My cubes aren't even that tight, as I clearly demonstrated with the Guhong. But you can see for yourself it doesn't cut corners very well at all.

All of them are lubed except the black A5, which I forgot to say (in this take) is not lubed. And for your information, I use exactly the same lube that Faz uses so don't go calling my lube crap.

I'll quickly respond to a few comments:
I have already been informed of my "reverse corner cutting" mistake. For some reason I was under the wrong impression of what that was, but I don't think I need to bother making a new video showing the actual reverse corner cutting abilities of these cubes.
fatboyxpc: I don't get your point? I'm not sure why you would think I'm a "strickler". This was not a review, this was me providing hard evidence of something which I believe people are under the wrong impression about.
Woner: indeed :p
Blah: really?
