    Combo/ratcheting reccomendations

    Not every bolt on a truck or mower etc is grade 8 or higher I would like to see the same test done with stronger bolts as well to see if the results change. To me it has merit lots of low grade bolts out there, I have broken of heads on industrial high voltage transformers.
