HOLY SH!T!!!!!
that is huge sockets!!!

 

[Kirbot]

For some reason I was expecting to see these...

But yeah, those are some flippin' big sockets!

 

[yogitech]

Awesome door stops! I would NEVER have an application for those... I want them!

 

[Todd.Brock]

Are those for bridge building and better yet, what the hell sort of impact spins those things

BIG Torq multipliers! Industrial job sights.

A few of the guys I train have been working at an industrial job where they have needed such big tools.
Before the job was finished, a couple of them would send me pics.

They aren't used with impacts; typically they're turned with hydraulic torqueing tools, something like these:

IR599 If I remember right its 30,000ft/lbs

One of those would make a pretty unique urinal if you could stop the pee from rusting it.

These same sockets where/are listed on Fee-Bay.

IR makes some 3 1/2" drive stuff for the industrial market.

I don't get the need for nuts that need a socket like that. Seems as though the tooling would be extremely expensive. Why not use a superbolt?

Will have the same specs, but can be tightened by hand with a large ratchet.

Here is a 4-5/8 I got on ebaby for 10.00 , cost 25.00 to ship. I use it as a door stop.

Used to make custom order sockets like that for Matco at the shop I worked in. The last one I remember weighed about 58 lbs. Huge thing but was ordered with a 1" drive. We double checked that spec and still couldn't quite believe it. Shipped it out to somewhere in Alaska. No idea what we charged to make 'em, but always wondered.

We use superbolts on split bull gears, but there isn't a large number of them. I'm betting its cheaper to have a hydraulic wrench and the neccesary sockets then outfitting a plant full of large pipe with superbolts.

I've never even heard of superbolts before, but I'm guessing those suckers are expensive

ha ha... but i dont think your mountion toolbox would handle of those big sockets....

 

[Jzytaruk]

used on hi torq's and rad guns.. awesome tools. ive never seen a 3/4" drive gun go to 2000 ft/lbs before...

I'd use two as book ends to hold up my BIG bearing splitter... Hehe!

 

[coldfusion21]

Those are super neat. We have a few 3-4" ones at work, those are impressive as hell.

I imagine you guys are right. Where I work doesn't use big sockets. We use superbolts. First time I heard of them was in the job interview. Looked online first to see if they were classified or not before posting them up. Didn't want to give anything away. I want to grab a couple to put up for decoration.

I know their main advantages are that you can use hand tools to torque it down to spec, and it doesn't take all day to torque it down. With a big nut it takes quite a bit of time.

A pretty big f/k/g impact wrench, that's for sure!

Not really, you can do a lot of it with a 1" impact and a few adapters. Think the bolt off in the corner by the welding helmet is a bit less than 4" and the carrier bearing bolts on the driveshaft are around 4-1/2"

Run 'em down with the impact and put the hytorc on for final torquing, which is going to take 5-10 minutes per bolt usually.


All of this is a repost from last week where I mentioned more about the hytorc used to tension those fasteners.

 

[Todd.Brock]

Sheez. You guys are schooling me on this stuff. I am intrigued by these superbolts. G-13 classified type stuff. I Iike it!

 

[littletoes]

Diesel Research-What is that drive line on??? BIG dump truck or something??? WE WANT MORE PICS!
