Test the difference between the honda crankbolt weighted socket and a normal inpact socket

On behalf of my fellow torque testies I'd like to thank you for your no bs testing. Very helpful.

[smithn]

Have you tried torque sticks? See if they actually stop your impact at the torque there for?

Every time i come watch a new vid you have like 1k more subs. This channel is going to be huge soon, glad to have been among the first 10k

[CaptAwesome]

Comment for algorithm. Love this channel, keep it up!

[miquelanesto]

I paused the video at like seven seconds saw this on another channel the guy said weight does matter, you guys always look at the comments for sure great videos and information. Now on to the video.

Testing torque sticks would be interesting for sure. I like the idea of testing the thin wall protective sockets because I swear I can tell a difference in power. Also some flip lug nut sockets wouldn't hurt.

[Senkinoo]

Could you do a test for torque loss for ill fitting sockets? For example 1 5/16" (33.34) to loosen a 33mm nut, this could approximate torque loss for a adjustable wrench.
Sometimes you're out in the field and you just don't have the right size, or you only have fractional when the machine has metric fasteners.
Obviously this risks rounding the fastener, but a test would be great.

If possible can you test 19mm impact vs thick one 19mm from lisle 77080( Honda crank bolt special socket) to see how much different. Air impact and regular socket won’t able to move the crank bolt but the thick will do. Thanks

I use a 1/4in dewalt DCF787 for small engine repair. To my surprise it took off a 32mm bolt faster than a 9/16 push mower blade bolt. weight really does matter. Cant wait to see the test with the 15/16 sockets.

Hey TTC I know this is a bit of a stretch but I think it would be cool to see how much battery decay effects torque. Like a battery that has gone through 100-200-300 charge cycles vs a newish battery.

So there was a video recently of a guy trying to remove a crank bolt from a Subaru engine, using an impact gun and a thin wall chrome socket. The bolt wouldn't budge. Then he tried it with a large impact socket and it came right off no problem.

[BrentConway]

I think a good follow up test for this is to be able to somehow measure the "break away" torque of each type of socket rather than the out max torque. After all, most of us are looking for the hardest initial breakaway rather than anything else. After all, it's breaking the fastener free that is the issue 90% of the time

I kinda figured it was like the extension thing bigger is worse because there is slop on the 1/2 drive so it's not really on the anvil side it's just more mass on the bolt side

[LegoDork]

I find that when a lugnut won't come loose with say a 21mm deep socket, a 21mm shallow socket can get it with no problem. I think its a torsion thing. I know it works most of the time.

Good test to see the functionality of SK's flex zone sockets compared to standard sockets.

[revell]

Dont forget those bomb Honda crank pulley sockets with the flywheel ring on them.

[theeabster]

I might be mistaken but I thought Ingersoll specifically designed sockets to give you more power when it comes to using them on an impact? I can't think of the name off the top of my head but I remember them being advertised as making a big difference I have a ring around the socket

[Joe_Blo]

The chrome flaked off the few 1/2" drive chromed sockets I've used with air impacts to remove lug nuts.

[babydew]

After using many chrome sockets ... they normally don't explode they typically start to crack and you'll see it... it takes 20-30 bolts and alot of impacting at high torque however you need to stop once you see a crack if you have to use one
