Not the most scientific method of testing - throwing sand on a lubed chain to see what sticks isn't a measure of keeping dust off and how that dust/dirt accelerates wear.
Also putting lube on a chainsaw that can get really hot due to the speed isn't really the right application that these were designed for.

Just more insight is all, not scientific by no means.
He was using it to determine how it is under load because some of the chain lube said they extend chain and sprocket life.
You have me addicted to that show! I wonder what that guy does to own so much property and to be able to goof off like he does.
Hang on......that wasn't NEARLY up to the usual stupid-and-pointless standard.
Geezer is in danger of losing his fan base.
Sure, there are criticisms one could make, but the tests were apparently consistent and at least a bit informative.
I'd think the best way to bench test chain lubes would involve motoring the chains electrically on a common shaft under controlled tension (weight), and then measuring chain extension, but that'd involve a bit of engineering.
Might be a job for a ME student project.
If anyone did it commercially the results would be secret unless their stuff came out on top.
