Are these too strong?? #climbing #breaktest

The Lappas Arrow Stainless glue-in bolt is one we are really excited about. It uses a similar shape to the Titan Climbing Eterna glue-ins that we love, but are made of stainless instead of titanium. This design is great for a few reasons:

✨They fit into a smaller diameter hole than you would expect for a bolt made with an 8 mm rod.
✨They are slightly thicker at the neck of the bolt, allowing them to stay in place easily when your glue is curing.
✨The eye of the bolt is weld-less.
✨They are super strong!

Not everywhere needs a titanium bolt, so we are stoked to carry this style of glue-in that make sense for a wider variety of climbing areas!

This needs to come with a "If you pull too hard, you will pull the mountain/crag over!" 😂

Could've easily hit 80Kn if you had tapped it and said "yep, that's not going anywhere".

As an engineer I find this funny. We use chemical anchors for demanding applications, including load bearing structures. Generally we use M10, 12 or 16 threaded rods. The rated loads from manufacturers go from 10 kN for a M10 to 40-50 kN for M16.

But with chemical anchors, the prep is the key. You must remove the dust and particulate.

I have seen anchors break bits of a wall instead of coming out. Seriously.... nowadays we have epoxy adhesives which rival welding in some applications (granted they have more surface area). Absolutely fascinating stuff..

58kn is like 6 and a half tons. My 2017 Nissan Rogue could be secured with that and my biggest worry would be the frame itself crapping out first.

The ribbing on the rod and the threads on the cylinder wall was a perfect situation for that epoxy to flex.

To clarify, Lappas also makes a titanium version of the bolt shown in the video.

is the epoxy time environment elements tested yet.

Smart to bias the eye against the rock. Not that it needs much optimizing at these numbers.

I have a question (probably a dumb one, but, I'm still asking. Lol), instead of using a Epoxy Glue couldn't you take a hard thin steel wedge and insert the bolt into a drilled hole and then use the wedge between the 2 sides of the bolt to create an UnGodly amount of grip? Like WAY more than an epoxy could??? And not ever have to worry about cracked glue or glue at all??? Just seems that would be a LOT safer and a LOT stronger.... But then again maybe I'm just dumb. Lol. 😂😂😂

Now you have to do a pull test with 1 and 2 Rings.

This is the second short of yours that I've seen using the Dewalt Pure 110 Epoxy. Seems like an odd choice for testing. Can you comment on why you're testing with this epoxy and if it would work on rock outdoors?

[ArrKayCee]

Christ, 58KN. That's more power than the engine used for the lunar lander.

[damienmorales]

Why do they make glue in bolts why not just make them already attached to the threaded part ?

[everything-narrative]

Please use gloves on both hands when handling epoxy. That stuff is not skin-safe.

The number of individuals intrigued by ropes far exceeds those interested in climbing. It may be beneficial to shift your content focus more towards ropes.

Bro please start using American measurements it does not make you cool to use the metric system
