    Not sure what's going on at Milwaukee, but...

    Threads are just an inclined plane going round in a circle. Going downhill will always be easier than uphill. The thread pitch (steepness of grade), hardness and friction coefficient determine just how much. Of course over time oxidation, road grime ect really kills this relationship. But back...

    Hub shocker/Astro puller: 0 rust:1

    More like once or twice a year here. The larger bolt seems to hold up better but obviously doesnt always fit through the hole you need. The smaller ones we get quite a few uses out of before replacing but they do get worn. Even grade 8/9 in M12 threads vs an impact is an inevitable thing. That...

    RED ALERT!!! According to the Torque Test Channel Milwaukee Has Totally Screwed the Pooch on the High Torque Impact

    Considering they dont ever do live streams and did so anyways within 10 mins of getting this statement that's not available anywhere else, I'll take it

    new HF Hercules brushless 20v 1/2" impact

    I stand corrected! Must have used XWT08XVZ Wish they would just come out with a new 1/2" though like DeWalt is :(

    new HF Hercules brushless 20v 1/2" impact

    Makita High Torques are currently like $275-300. Inflation is setting in. Every likes to compare new retail prices to the price they paid one chistmas season on sale. But fact is these will go on sale as well (which they are currently already)

    Comprehensive Wrench Test by Project Farm

    No doubt he used the washers because he tried without them and every wrench broke the bolt off which means zero data, I say no doubt because Torque Test Channel said exactly this here and is the reason they used soft steel coupling nuts. Using coupling nuts is something Project farm also seems...

    Torque Test Channel - open-end wrench testing

    Well yes, of course. Theoretically an open end is NEVER the right tool for a hex bolt, only for things with 2 flats. Yet they are still used due to space constraints, so here we are. If how well an open end grips on X fastener is irrelevant to you fair enough, but it may be to most people...

    Torque Test Channel - open-end wrench testing

    the psi per mm was just 1/3 the score, so was factored but wasn't the make or break for any 1 wrench

    Torque Test Channel - open-end wrench testing

    I don't think his point was that the V-notch makes for a bad wrench, just that it in and of itself is not doing anything. Besides maybe seating the hex deeper in the tool initially. Agreed on Carlyle and the like, that have the v-notch and a specialty biting jaw. That would help tell the story...

    Torque Test Channel - open-end wrench testing

    That's his point. FDX are sockets, there are flank drive + wrenches. He says both flank drive + and FDX in the video which is very upsetting. I need to go lie down now

    Torque Test Channel - open-end wrench testing

    I find the idea that good wrenches that dont slip are only good for certain grades of fasteners pretty funny, you guys are good for a laugh. "Ahh what grade of bolt is this rusty one? Oh okay, I can use the dollar store wrench on that then, it wont matter. Will come off all the same."

    As long as you're talking made in TW, pretty accurate. The made in CN ones that look identical hold pressure about 10% as long.

    Old USA Craftsman vs modern day gearwrench? Might be a wash in the end there
