It's coming from Youtube, here's his SocialBlade stats:

And I expect that he's near the top of those numbers, because his viewers are probably buying expensive tools based on his recommendations rather than an equivalent number of views watching a cartoon for kids or cute animals or something else difficult to market.

At close to a million views on many of his videos, and something like $0.01 per ad view, he's likely making on the order of $10k per video. Buying and destructively testing some shop vacs, hose clamps, or whatever is just part of that budget.

That socialblade earnings range is so wide it hilarious and completely useless.
