History

Threadbanger launched in 2008.[3] The channel began with content centred around sewing but later shifted to focus on broader DIY series such as Man vs. Pin and Corinne vs. Pin.[4] Threadbanger reached one million subscribers in 2015.[5]

Threadbanger began posting videos as part of the Man vs. House series in late 2017. The series followed Czar and Leigh refurbishing and renovating an older house.[6] Man vs. House was sponsored by Lowe's.[7] In May 2018, Threadbanger launched the YouTube Red series Do or DIY.[8]

In 2019, Czar was declared medically deceased after suffering a heart attack. He was subsequently diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, granulomatosis with polyangiitis.[9] Czar's health issues caused the Threadbanger to take a break from posting videos.[10] Threadbanger returned to posting videos on August 3, 2019 with the video "I DIED....but", which recounted Czar's health issues for the YouTube audience.[11]

As of October 2019, Threadbanger had 4 million subscribers.[9]
