The 1 Grit is a piece of concrete that is prominently used by Wade in the destruction of various electronic devices, ranging from dirtybuds to cheap nuggets, usually not iPods, EarPods, or any old iPhone.
History[]
As revealed in the video titled "One Grit Origin Story", the 1 Grit was originally part of the much bigger Stop Rock, a rock that Wade used as a doorstop. Wade's local deliveryman also used the Stop Rock to hold down smaller packages on windy days. One day, the Stop Rock broke into two pieces. The larger piece would remain as the Stop Rock, whilst the smaller piece would go on to become the 1-Grit.
The 1 Grit's unusual naming derives from a joke Wade once made on sandpaper grit, where the more particles per square inch, the smoother the paper, and thus the higher the grit number. The lower the grit, the coarser the paper gets. The rock is thus one grit, which Wade finds hilarious.
The rock wasn't shown in the channel's videos up until the "How to fix a scratched iPod Classic" episode, where it makes its first debut whilst Wade is explaining the sandpaper joke.
Despite its job, the 1 Grit has never destroyed any iPhone, AirPods, or any Apple product in its tenure. It has occasionally put visible dents in the iPad's green case.
Wade has only destroyed Apple products in this video
Deterioration[]
During its tenure, the 1-Grit has sustained minor damage whilst destroying items. It has amazingly never received any major damage despite being thrown at various hard surfaces, considering the fragile nature of the rock's material.
During the "Even LEGO made an MP3 player" episode, at the end of the video when he used the 1 Grit to destroy the headphones, a few pieces came off of the rock, changing its shape slightly.
In the "I got "Free AirPods" from Wish.com" episode, during the part where the 1-Grit is used to break the AirPods-clone, the 1-Grit is chipped, and "gives birth" to Mini-Grits, miniature forms of the 1 Grit.

Disclaimers:
- Some devices may be missing from this table (for example, the mug from "The most Aussie iPod accessory I've found" was originally not included).
- This list is chronologically sorted top-down by an item's debut, and not by when it was destroyed. This isn't necessarily an issue, as most items were destroyed in their debut video.
- The debut videos and the destruction videos are listed in separate columns, in the event that an item is destroyed after their debut.
- Due to unavailability, some items are listed as unknown, mainly because they were only featured in the patron-exclusive Patreon: After Show videos.
