The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available since June 5, 2025, and naturally, enthusiasts have been testing the console extensively online. One YouTuber even went so far as to utilize a pipe wrench, ultimately being quite impressed.
### Switch 2 Endures Pipe Wrench
**Overview of the video:** YouTuber JerryRigEverything is known for his unique hardware evaluations and disassemblies. Essentially, he dismantles everything he can find.
Recently, the Nintendo Switch 2 was the focus. In the video, the YouTuber illustrates the construction of the console, highlighting which components can be easily swapped and which are adhered firmly, for instance.
He examines the screen and the protective film that Nintendo has applied over it. Nintendo strongly advises against removing this, but that doesn’t deter JerryRigEverything in the slightest.
The film is so tough to detach that it’s hard to believe it could come off “by accident.” The video becomes particularly captivating towards the end when the YouTuber assesses the toughness of the actual display using a large pipe wrench.

**Results:** To the tech YouTuber’s astonishment, it takes nearly 50 solid strikes to shatter the Switch 2 display. Numerous small glass shards also come loose, underscoring the significance of the screen protector.
The console continues to function beautifully despite the damaged display, and had the film been intact, there likely would have been no shards scattering about. This is especially beneficial when children are using the Switch 2. Additionally, JerryRigEverything is quite taken with the design of the Switch 2. In spite of its relatively slender form, the device is very resilient. Furthermore, many individual components can be easily removed and replaced, facilitating straightforward repairs.
