BLUEPOINT counter-weighted crank bolt sockets

[APEowner]

I saw them on the toll truck today.

Is that a Freudian slip?

 

[rayh91]

Not mine but my coworker split his after two uses. I'm guessing its because its made from CV? My HF sockets fail the same way.

I didn't see the Blue point one before he turned it back in. But i believe it split roughly the same, the end of the socket actually looks like it's slimmer then a regular impact but not quite to the level of a thinwall. I have exploded a thinwall 19 in the same way as above.

But the IR ones came in this week.

Used mine once today 11 accord 4 cyl crank bolt. First MG725 with a snappy 19 6 point deep impact, it looked like it budged a little with the first blow but then for an additional 10+ seconds full blast nothing. Less then a second with the Ingersol version and it was off.

Another tech tried it on a used motor we are putting into an old odyssey it zapped that right off too. 2 More guys I work with have it, we tried one of them on 2 blown motors waiting to be shipped out yesterday(unsure if crank bolt was prior removed though) and they came right out. Will update on how it holds up.

Hi everyone

I believe this is the guy who came up with this idea, hope he made something from it, I remember seeing it back in 2013, even left a comment on his video then year later bluepoint and IR come out with one

SO's is under warranty right? Can you buy just the 19from SO or gotta get the set?

Any consensus on which one works best? The Lisle looks the beefiest and is conveniently the cheapest.

I have the lisle it is super beefy, save your money and go lisle it is an extremely well built socket.

I'm still trying to figure out how these sockets work. I don't think it's anything to do with inertia or momentum.

Maybe these sockets are simply more rigid, so more torque is transferred from the gun to the bolt.

Read up on force transmissibility in relation to mechanical vibrations. Also look up torsional stiffness of shapes.

Damn that's ****. I think I'll be going the Lisle route.

I just got the Lisle one in from Amazon....it is a beast (weight-wise) compared to a normal socket.

I have some torque testing planned with it soon.....we will see what it can actually do compared to a standard 19mm socket.

Will you get the IR and Bluepoint too and do a shootout for us?

The IR is the most different design-wise, interested to see if the larger diameter flywheel effect makes a difference or if the greater mass is really what makes the difference.

I have the IR one here also....let me see what I can do about the Blue Point.

Sounds good man. I'll be watching.

Since the set is specifically for Hondas and Toyotas, they should have included a 22mm for a Toyota V6 (at least the 1MZ-FE family).

 

[colin39]

Broke the complete end off my 19mm yeastersay, dam nose snapped right of and the corrosion inside the metali awfull. Its not done bad think ive pulled a fair few down in the last 6months oh well thats wot warrenty is for

 

[jrobb316]

Worked at a honda dealer for 15 years. We've been using a 3/4" impact with 100% results for that long. Having a big gun is also nice for various other things so it's not a waste.

 

[HammerRed]

yes saw zcamarooss on this instagram today and looks like they work, would be good for people with weaker guns, i have never had problems with honda crank pulley bolts with my nitrocat 1200k.

Me either. Strong gun.

 

[Arbybe]

Not sure how exactly they work. There pretty hefty. Figure there might be a weight in it that spins causing inertia. Idk just a thought.

When you cut them open,you'll find nothing in em.
It's like magic, I'm amazed...

This is how you should explain "where babies come from"
Sounds festive
IMHO

I borrowed another techs lisle socket on one my 2135 was struggling with. Needless to say I bought one the next week and have never looked back. Such a simple idea that provokes one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments.

The socket works, here is my method for reinstalling the nut, you need to think ahead and be careful:

...thats right. More stiffness prevents loss of torque from impact socket. weld a pipe over socket it will work too. cant weld? try epoxy. it may work
