It's a feature of better wrenches. They'll yield before they irreparably round over the fastener.

After watching this, i tried it myself.
I tested an older script logo 10mm Snap-on wrench.
It clicked at 40 ft.lb. I didnt want to needlessly spread it, so i didnt try 50.

I know you can turn a 15˚ open end wrench either way, but it seems natural to apply pressure on the top side of the wrench. In the video, he was "turning" it the opposite. I would be curious to see if this affected the results.

Oh, dude. That's not even close to true.

I'm guessing it was sarcasm......
I hope.

It was. Just stirring the pot a bit.

That said, even though I think the result is hysterically funny, it's tough to put any faith in comparisons with only single samples.

That's a relief at least. Without anything else to go on, it's hard to tell... I've seen posts here recently that were dead serious about crazier **** that that.
