HyTorque style of torque wrench for big fasteners. This is capable of 2000 lbs ft! We'll use an Enerpac pump to test it out. 💪 SKOOKUM T-SHIRTS! 💪 teespring.com/...
Theres nothing funnier and more accurate than your absolutely wrenching down on a bolt then saying "click" when shes torqued to arm strength. It honestly makes my day to hear that in every video
Wait, is AvE saying "click" supposed to be the torque wrench indicating the correct torque? I always thought he was torquing until the fastener yielded, then you hear the "click" and it gets much easier to turn...
Sometimes they don't even get the drain plug out before fucking it up. My dad has always changed his own oil. One day he got lazy and took his truck to walmart. Turns out the mechanic was feeling lazy too, and tried to use an impact to remove the drain plug. Only problem was that he had the impact on righty tighty instead of lefty loosey. Not a fun day.
We took a military ship apart, at times using a 2" drive hydraulic torque wrench offering several size sockets up to 6". It was quite the experience and we completed the task safely.
That sounds awesome. I want to get into industrial work while I'm still young. As a commercial electrician, the closest to "industrial" I've gotten was building a decent sized asphalt plant. That was easily my favorite job
Professor Doom I have an ‘06 GM and just to change the front blinker bulbs I need a 7mm, a 10mm, a 3/4”, and a new headlight assembly because every chinesium plastic clip is going to break at the mere mention of extraction.
You need SAE 16 pt, SAE 6 pt, Metric, and an extractor socket set for fasteners that oddly got worn down to a size between SAE and Metric. 🤣 Supplement with Channel locks, vice grips and Crescent wrenches.
I work mainly on British motorcycles and the collection of fasteners is mind boggling. Seriously, everything from BSP to metric, through and including Whit, UNF, UNC, Cycle and some b'stard stuff which you can't even find on a thread chart.
I took it as a jab at Real Tool Reviews since he was talking about impact guns... edit: or not... Seems WS did a "review" of some adjustable wrenches lately...
A friend put me on to your site and this video. Nice to see that despite some questionable conditions that tool is still at 'er today. If you want parts, pieces or any of the technical information behind the manufacture of our wrenches I'm happy to speak to you any time.
That's a cute little guy. :) We use 6" ones where I work. Nothing more fun than torquing down a 108" hot blast valve. Also note: these are designed to rest against a nut that you are not torquing. That nut braces it so it can chooch on the active nut. Those chowder marks are likely because they achieved the torque needed and it was wedged against another nut. A little tap tap taparoo does the trick. As far as the "half a flat per...", yes, we use a spline drive impact to snug everything up and then torque them to high hell.
Enjoyed the vid. Worked up in Grand Prairie on an 800 man shutdown for a midfield gas plant. These hy-torques were a real nut saver. Busting 2 inch nuts on a giant flange that havent been broke for years, two men on one 40 inch ratchet were enough to blow a nut. A lot of areas we couldn’t get our wrench or ratchet into and were forced to use the hy-torque and never looked back. Could follow all around the flange to break, and torque any bolts on site. A fun side note I found that the idea of having that red anodized aluminum plate wasn’t just for looks..when the wrench is on the nut it needs to rest against the bolts under it to keep all the torque on the nut to spin. When you’re getting up to that super high torque you have your finger under the wrench anywhere in the “red zone” when you hit you’re switch and you won’t be getting your fingers back. Won’t be much left of them

The 8 dimples are so you can index the handle how you need it. Same basic design as a Hytorq.

that circle with the tiny holes arond it should be for a handle, I've seen them on bolttech and hytorq. We get the actual handles every blue moon. Great vid
I'll guess the aluminum bit is a softer metal so you are less likely to damage whatever part it pushes against as it torques. Also a cheap part that's easy to replace if it gets trashed. Fun to see this industrial level stuff! Thanks for sharing!
AVE you are absolutely correct. I used to fill liquid o2, N2 Ar, Co2 and a few other gases. For one that cylinder is 3000 psi (American math) and when liquid oxygen mixes with oil they violently react with each other. Even more so with liquid oxygen (liquid o2 cryo. is 350 psi) I had to fill the medical oxygen vans that had to be over a cement slab because blacktop is oil. (not sure what happened to this first part but a bunch is missing I will fix it later) Story time, In Seattle a couple guys took a scrap cryo of o2 and had it filled. Since the vacuum in between the inner tank and outer wall was non existent it all vented out in less than a day. So, they took the 350 psi fart valve off and plugged it. Driving down i5 they got a flat tire and while fixing the flat that oxygen cryo exploded. The vehicle was a Isuzu flatbed style vehicle and it leveled the cab flat with the bed. Seats, dash, steering wheel and column gone. One guy was thrown from one side of 5 lanes over the other side of oncoming 5 lanes and landed on the hill. the other guy was thrown multiple 100's of feet the other way. The cryo (200 lbs of stainless steel) landed 1/2 mile in some lady's living room. Both guys lived, I do not know what kinda life they have though it was a news paper article I had to read for safety when I was hired and it was 20+ years ago.
so, today I was turning some wrenches, breaking some government property, and I referred to a crescent wrench as a "nut lathe." None of the people I was working with knew what I was talking about. I was sad.
Used them on tower cranes to get the right stretch on the bolts and go back 40 hours later and do all of the bolts again because they work loose even though you used that to tighten up the bolts
We've even got a hydro torque that pretty much looks like a large diamiter pass through porta-power cylinder but you thread it on to a stud and it streaches the stud. Then you reach through a little window in the cylinder and spin the nut(small holes drilled on the centers of the flats) with a long punch or whatever you can find close by. You guys know how it is. Lol
Love this channel... I'm a newly-minted enginerd, and he's right - I had NO idea that you could fuck up a design by making a bolt too long... Makes me wish there was a course that used these sorts of videos to teach.
Like he said u can make an adapter for it so u can have all sizes though u may not be able to torque it quite as much do to ur adapter of course but I'm sure it would get the job done for most of us
SeanBZA Buy the biggest damn size you can find and just machine smaller hex inserts for it. I'd guess that you could "safely" step 2" down to 1.5" and smaller with little risk and fairly simple machining then send the inserts out for heat treat. Probably not the safest thing in the world, but...
We have these at the shipyard where i work. We have the square drives versions 1" - 2 1/2". We use them on rudder flange bolts, CPP(control pitch propeller) blades/propellers and tailshaft coupling bolts. We tighten hardware between 1000ft lbs to 40,000 ft lbs. We tightened 12 M80 moly bolts to 18,000 ft lbs on shaft flange last week.
The circles around that threaded hole you mentioned as style - is actually called a flower - and theyre used to screw in adjustable handles to keep your hand away from reaction point. Awesome video!
Spent the day watching machining and tool videos with my daughter. She’s playing on the switch with headphones, looks up and says “dad he needs to wash his hands” right when you were talking about cleaning the tool and your hands. I told her I’m sure he washed his hands by now.
For the bolt head stuck in the hex head it's good to thread it back in but then tighten with the ratchet slightly, the tool will be free for sure! you usually feel the tool pop free with the lightest nip up again. this way I find it creates the least fastner fuckage.
Every time I watch your videos I gotta say it’s nice seeing dirty hands. It’s not something that you see much anymore kids cry when they’re shoes get dirt on them. Love the videos man.
The aluminum part is red because when you operate the torque head to tighten studs on a flange connection, the tool twists against an adjacent stud for leverage. It's aluminum to prevent damage to the nut, and red to warn you of the pinch point.
Taahppy tahp tahp! 😂🤣 Never ceases to have me in stitches... One of the TV networks needs to pick up AvE. Red? Nah not for me in any way and definitely never found myself hanging around Oudezijds Voorburgwal smoke in hand... 😳
You were close on the Aluminium part. The usual steps for anodising: - Rinsing (warm soapy bath) - Etching (to remove the natural oxide layer in a acid bath) - Anodising (growing back the oxide layer, mostly done with DC, again in an acid bath) (this oxide layer is porous so the current can keep reaching the alu to form thicker layers) - Colouring (filling the pores with a pigment, can be done separately or in the step above) - Sealing the oxide layer (done with steam or boiling water, to close the pores) It can be done differently but these are the general steps. I can tell you're not a chemist, but whenever you tell something about chemistry you are spot on. I admire that (as a chemist)!
I work in the natural gas industry on large natural gas compressor down here in the states. We use these all the time. They have a 3/4" and a 1" drive unit also. That drilled and tapped hole one there with all the little dimples around it is for a T-handle that you can put on either side. Also the manufacturer we have is Torc Up and the head you have would be classified as a TX-2 they sell inserts to go from a 2 3/8" nut to smaller sized nuts. We use a TX-4 that's larger it goes up to 2 5/8". Great pieces of equipment for sure!!!
Great limerick - I've got one that I heard a fair few years ago: There was once a man from Glosham, Who took out his nuts to wash 'em. His wife walked in and said: "If you don't put them back, I'll stand on the things and squash 'em!"
I spent 8yrs working for a construction equipment and supply company as a tool and compressor repair tech. There's veracity in what you say. I've been known to pick up a tool repair kit and re-chouchify some "well lovrd" tools.
Just a clarification on the anodize process: the dye is absorbed by the pores in the anodize itself, not the base metal. The bare aluminum is anodized to form the porous oxide, then immersed in the dye and sealed, usually with nickel acetate to prevent the dye from leaching out.
Uncle Bumblefuck, I just want you to know that I was working on something in a vice at work the other day and I made sure to tighten until I heard a crack and back a quarter turn like you taught me.
Nope. Just a pretty. And when you get to the point of needing these, typically a company only orders one or two sizes. Either things are big, really big, or holy crap big. (I use a 6" version of this where I work)
mephInc the last place i worked had a couple of these. Wich just had a 3/4", 1", and 1 1/2" square drives and "genuine" sockets branded the same as the head.
If you've ever been to Edmonton, you'd know most of the city is the industrial sector. That's why I love it! You can get nearly any tool, and get any part made in this wonderful city! There's a hardware store on every corner, and you can get industrial products in small batch as they will still sell just as much, if not more! I love it!!!!
I think the adjustable wrench has handle at an angle, so if you are working in a tight spot you can turn it, take it of, rotate it and put it back on ... and repeat
Fuk yeah! AvE... our saviour!!! Baby sitting dad style! pub garden, son in the play area, me sat with a beer and email notification of new AvE vijeos pops up, perfect saturday afternoon!
Probably the best lesson I learned "in work hard now if you don't wanna work hard for the rest of your life" was a 2 month job at a compressor station overhaul. The memories at 18 of dragging those power packs around and building cribbing in knee deep water so the welders didn't have to get wet at 18 still makes me shudder.
Ohhh man! Getting into drilling tools! Actually after closer inspection it doesn't have all the signs of being used as a hammer. Nice bop speed wrench though.
Not a bad piece of gear you got, we use these to torque the bolts that secure the manways on the reactors in my plant. The truly bad ass ones I used didn't even apply toque to the nut/bolt. They threaded on to the bolt thread and fit over the nut and used hydraulics to stretch the bolt. Then all you had to do was run the nut down by hand to snug it up to the flanges of the pipe or vessel. When you let off the pressure the bolt stretch is what determined clamping force. Used them on high pressure stream lines in plants.
Bolts are designed for shear. That is a big reason for having shoulders on bolts. They aren't designed JUST for shear, traditionally but they absolutely can be designed for shear forces. That is one really cool tool. Would love to see it in my toolbox.
I use these things all the time. The tap hole in the ram surrounded by the circle of half holes is for a removable handle to keep your hands out of the way. These things are well known for taking off fingers because once you start the travel on the ram you have to finish the stroke.
Every time I watch an Uncle DAvE video, I never know if I'm gayer or straighter, manlier or girlier, dirtier or cleaner. You get it. It's, just, a mess.
Hentai Henry You, uhh... you've got some figuring out to do there, bud. Nothing wrong with that, but I reckon the issue is internal, as opposed to being caused by an outside force.
Now we're torquing. Used many of these (Hydratight & Hytorq mainly) on everything, from emergency hot bolting on petro crackers to dive decompression chambers to arc furnace slew rings. The big beasts, with 2½" drive, are monsters. 25kg for the impact socket alone, you better make sure your squidgy bits aren't anywhere near the reaction arm when you press that remote button...
What is freegun astonishing that an ultra specialized tool that most of us can`t even conceive an application for . yet the rehab video has received a quarter of a gazillion views. I am flabbergasted , also I want one. cheers thanks for posting.
I’ve seen these used a lot when I was working as a carpenter building scaffolding in the refineries. Those big 6’ pipes don’t come pre-assembled! The color on the tool designates the size. The tool pushes against the next bolt and nut on the flange.
We use these in things in wind turbines to bolt the big bolts that bolt the tower sections together. Up to 70mm nuts on those suckers. We also use hydraulic bolt tensioners if you can get your paws on one of those. It is what you use when the fastener is too long like you were saying, it stretches the bolt and then you use a regular torque wrench to torque the nut to like 35nm and then you let the pressure off the bolt so it is torqued to RFT.
I had one of these in my previous job. a model from Hytorc with a square socket mount that we used to dismantle and reassemble (eventually) large U-joints for aluminum mills, they were coupled to double motor (two rotors mounted in line on the same shaft). the U-joint had a diameter of 1 meter and required a 125mm socket to crack open the monster. Ah! heavy industry good ol' times.
When I was working for a company as an IT support technician I had to remotely work out why a really old MAZAK milling machine in a metal shop wasn't connecting to the local computer network. It ran Windows 95 and I had no clue what it was or what it looked like but then I hadn't watched AvE then. Did it though had to go to the depths of my mind to remember how to use Windows 95 though. It was because of that I found AvE's videos though so good times.
These are used in the oil industry to break and nipple up wellhead flanges and BOPs. ( blow out preventers). Rough necks are happy to see these tools on location, the other option are hammer wrenches.
I live in Edmonton, and am a pipefitter. I've worked in most of the refineries in the area. I worked for a company that specializes in technical flange bolting where we torque and tension. I have spent many many hours using these wrenches. I don't recognize the brand on this one, seems similar to Enerpac, perhaps a older model? Those swivels seems pretty old. But yeah, very useful tool, and we sure do beat them up a lot and they keep on chooching. I once used one to de-torque a 2" stud. (3 1/8" wrench) at CNRL after their fire in 2011 and ended up literally twisting the stud itself in half. I calculated the pump pressure to wrench torque to be at about 20,000 ft/lbs at the breaking point. Crazy stuff! (Shoulda went for the nut splitter)
I used a different brand of hydraulic torque wrench servicing baling presses. They work awesome. Ours torqued to 3600ftlbs. Couldn't have done the job without it.
hydraulic hammer wrench for nippling up BOPs etc. on drilling rigs. we used to use the heck out of them. a big step up from a hammer wrench and a sledge hammer, back when men were made from steel and rigs were made from wood.
So I had to check out this Wranglestar channel everyone was talking about, I'm I the only one saying to myself as I watch for fack sake just get on with it.
I can smell this video. I used those when I was working on wind power plants. They sure pack a punch. Metric, of course. We swapped to bolt stretchers instead.
I used a hydraulic wrench back in1994 -98 . Used it to torture big bolts and nuts on big pipe dies for making plastic pipe . That was only way you could the bolts and nuts to tighten correct . Best thing I ever got my hands on .
Theres nothing funnier and more accurate than your absolutely wrenching down on a bolt then saying "click" when shes torqued to arm strength. It honestly makes my day to hear that in every video
Connor Erhardt a I started doing that when I think it's to the right torque. It's the internal torque wrench
First time I've seen that from him. I lolled at it and decided I should start doing that to entertain myself.
Check out @ElderlyIron cllllliiiccckkkk
Wait, is AvE saying "click" supposed to be the torque wrench indicating the correct torque? I always thought he was torquing until the fastener yielded, then you hear the "click" and it gets much easier to turn...
Douglas MacLatchie Yeah I'm pretty sure he's mimicking a torque wrench!
So is this what $15 oil shops use to tighten drain bolts?

In my experience the crescent wrench slips open and fucks over the nut more often in reverse, especially once that spiral thing is old and buggered.
To add to that, I've seen plenty break when used "backwards". Never seen one break when used properly.
Yes. This is exactly right. Somehow it became about breaking the wrench and it's really about screwing up the fastener!
"IT'S A BIG FUCKING SPRING!!" Genius, just pure genius...
That unit brought back memories of disassembling and reassembling a heat exchanger about a dozen times, 64 1 1/2" bolts. A simple but effective tool!
My new motto, "poke it with a stick and hope it doesn't kill ya" 👍
Used them on tower cranes to get the right stretch on the bolts and go back 40 hours later and do all of the bolts again because they work loose even though you used that to tighten up the bolts
That's moderately terrifying.
We've even got a hydro torque that pretty much looks like a large diamiter pass through porta-power cylinder but you thread it on to a stud and it streaches the stud. Then you reach through a little window in the cylinder and spin the nut(small holes drilled on the centers of the flats) with a long punch or whatever you can find close by. You guys know how it is. Lol
That would be tensioning a bolt, not torquing. Did both thousands of times while working on the wind turbines.
@@dutcher517 good for you.. thanks for the resume with the comment
@@dutcher517 here l thought torquing a bolt was tensioning it, huh....
Holy hell, how was this 3 years ago already!? The channel has changed so much!
Love this channel... I'm a newly-minted enginerd, and he's right - I had NO idea that you could fuck up a design by making a bolt too long... Makes me wish there was a course that used these sorts of videos to teach.
i fucking want, no, i fucking need one.
Doc. Volt me too, me too
Nice, but want the heads for all the bolt sizes as well, though that could get pricey fast.
Like he said u can make an adapter for it so u can have all sizes though u may not be able to torque it quite as much do to ur adapter of course but I'm sure it would get the job done for most of us
Just buy the gator grip attachment haha
SeanBZA Buy the biggest damn size you can find and just machine smaller hex inserts for it. I'd guess that you could "safely" step 2" down to 1.5" and smaller with little risk and fairly simple machining then send the inserts out for heat treat. Probably not the safest thing in the world, but...
"That other fuckhead" recently showed us all how to use a adjustable spanner properly. 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back
Dr Death i wish i could get those 15 back
We have these at the shipyard where i work. We have the square drives versions 1" - 2 1/2". We use them on rudder flange bolts, CPP(control pitch propeller) blades/propellers and tailshaft coupling bolts. We tighten hardware between 1000ft lbs to 40,000 ft lbs. We tightened 12 M80 moly bolts to 18,000 ft lbs on shaft flange last week.
The circles around that threaded hole you mentioned as style - is actually called a flower - and theyre used to screw in adjustable handles to keep your hand away from reaction point. Awesome video!
"here on the back end we have some 4140... 4041... tool steel." That's me every time.
All I'll say is that it's beautiful,we use it on all our girth gears the biggest cranked to 8000lbsft on an M90 stud
Once you reach those torque levels, I feel pound-feet are no longer an appropriate unit.
I propose "ton-feet."
Spent the day watching machining and tool videos with my daughter. She’s playing on the switch with headphones, looks up and says “dad he needs to wash his hands” right when you were talking about cleaning the tool and your hands.
I told her I’m sure he washed his hands by now.
For the bolt head stuck in the hex head it's good to thread it back in but then tighten with the ratchet slightly, the tool will be free for sure! you usually feel the tool pop free with the lightest nip up again. this way I find it creates the least fastner fuckage.
I have never had tool envy this bad since watching my first Mandingo video !!!
For all those people wondering: about 2700Nm.
Every time I watch your videos I gotta say it’s nice seeing dirty hands. It’s not something that you see much anymore kids cry when they’re shoes get dirt on them.
Love the videos man.
The aluminum part is red because when you operate the torque head to tighten studs on a flange connection, the tool twists against an adjacent stud for leverage. It's aluminum to prevent damage to the nut, and red to warn you of the pinch point.
Taahppy tahp tahp! 😂🤣 Never ceases to have me in stitches... One of the TV networks needs to pick up AvE. Red? Nah not for me in any way and definitely never found myself hanging around Oudezijds Voorburgwal smoke in hand... 😳
another epic performance ave, these videos are a treat especial
You were close on the Aluminium part. The usual steps for anodising:
- Rinsing (warm soapy bath)
- Etching (to remove the natural oxide layer in a acid bath)
- Anodising (growing back the oxide layer, mostly done with DC, again in an acid bath)
(this oxide layer is porous so the current can keep reaching the alu to form thicker layers)
- Colouring (filling the pores with a pigment, can be done separately or in the step above)
- Sealing the oxide layer (done with steam or boiling water, to close the pores)
It can be done differently but these are the general steps. I can tell you're not a chemist, but whenever you tell something about chemistry you are spot on. I admire that (as a chemist)!
I work in the natural gas industry on large natural gas compressor down here in the states. We use these all the time. They have a 3/4" and a 1" drive unit also. That drilled and tapped hole one there with all the little dimples around it is for a T-handle that you can put on either side. Also the manufacturer we have is Torc Up and the head you have would be classified as a TX-2 they sell inserts to go from a 2 3/8" nut to smaller sized nuts. We use a TX-4 that's larger it goes up to 2 5/8". Great pieces of equipment for sure!!!
Tappy tap tap would be a good t shirt methinks.
I second that motion.
And so it was born
Great limerick - I've got one that I heard a fair few years ago:
There was once a man from Glosham,
Who took out his nuts to wash 'em.
His wife walked in and said:
"If you don't put them back, I'll stand on the things and squash 'em!"
I spent 8yrs working for a construction equipment and supply company as a tool and compressor repair tech. There's veracity in what you say. I've been known to pick up a tool repair kit and re-chouchify some "well lovrd" tools.
Just a clarification on the anodize process: the dye is absorbed by the pores in the anodize itself, not the base metal. The bare aluminum is anodized to form the porous oxide, then immersed in the dye and sealed, usually with nickel acetate to prevent the dye from leaching out.
Uncle Bumblefuck, I just want you to know that I was working on something in a vice at work the other day and I made sure to tighten until I heard a crack and back a quarter turn like you taught me.
Just as long as the crack you heard was your shoulder blowing out and not the piece you were working on.
By chance is the red spacer for quick size identifying? I don't imagine thumbing though these like sockets.
Nope. Just a pretty. And when you get to the point of needing these, typically a company only orders one or two sizes. Either things are big, really big, or holy crap big. (I use a 6" version of this where I work)
mephInc the last place i worked had a couple of these. Wich just had a 3/4", 1", and 1 1/2" square drives and "genuine" sockets branded the same as the head.
Christopher Read makes sense thanks for the input.
Hydratight uses color codes on their old tensioners, but the anodized aluminum on the slimline's are just for looks
If you've ever been to Edmonton, you'd know most of the city is the industrial sector. That's why I love it! You can get nearly any tool, and get any part made in this wonderful city! There's a hardware store on every corner, and you can get industrial products in small batch as they will still sell just as much, if not more! I love it!!!!
I think the adjustable wrench has handle at an angle, so if you are working in a tight spot you can turn it, take it of, rotate it and put it back on ... and repeat
Shifter is what we call an adjustable crescent wrench here in Australia! 😁
Here in the midwest it's a Mexican socket set.
scythelord never heard it called so here in Australia
In the UK we call them an adjustable nut lathe or a swedish nut fucker.
Yup shifter or adjustable spanner
Yep, shifter here in Australia. Popular local brand is Sidchrome. www.sidchrome.com.au/product/adjustable-wrench-chrome-plated-2/
Fuk yeah! AvE... our saviour!!!
Baby sitting dad style! pub garden, son in the play area, me sat with a beer and email notification of new AvE vijeos pops up, perfect saturday afternoon!
Probably the best lesson I learned "in work hard now if you don't wanna work hard for the rest of your life" was a 2 month job at a compressor station overhaul. The memories at 18 of dragging those power packs around and building cribbing in knee deep water so the welders didn't have to get wet at 18 still makes me shudder.
That's a lovely file. I bet the welder you got it from just loves lending you tools. Very great video
Those dots are not for style, the handle has a ball bearing in it that sits in them so you can adjust the angle of the handle.
Is that proportional to the angle of the dangle?
Ohhh man! Getting into drilling tools! Actually after closer inspection it doesn't have all the signs of being used as a hammer.
Nice bop speed wrench though.
Not a bad piece of gear you got, we use these to torque the bolts that secure the manways on the reactors in my plant. The truly bad ass ones I used didn't even apply toque to the nut/bolt. They threaded on to the bolt thread and fit over the nut and used hydraulics to stretch the bolt. Then all you had to do was run the nut down by hand to snug it up to the flanges of the pipe or vessel. When you let off the pressure the bolt stretch is what determined clamping force. Used them on high pressure stream lines in plants.
Bolts are designed for shear. That is a big reason for having shoulders on bolts. They aren't designed JUST for shear, traditionally but they absolutely can be designed for shear forces.
That is one really cool tool. Would love to see it in my toolbox.
I prefer the organic torque wrench
Organic torque wenches can be had by the hour just the other side of the tracks.
CLICK!
MikeDrop ,
Go till you hear a crack, back off quarter turn.
2 grunts and a fart
correct torque=.5 turn before breakage =Canadaclick.
So anodizing is just a tattoo on aluminum
And just as painful to get rid of!
Easy, just leave in caustic soda for a minute and it will all be gone, plus leave a nice white oxide film in place of it.
you can do the caustic soda trick with tattoos too
@@brk932 it even leaves white dead skin
Krasimir Ivanov also hydrochloric acid
I use these things all the time. The tap hole in the ram surrounded by the circle of half holes is for a removable handle to keep your hands out of the way. These things are well known for taking off fingers because once you start the travel on the ram you have to finish the stroke.
I do the same thing with broken untested computers. Buy for parts, for super cheap. Go through, troubleshoot, test and fix. Piece of cake.
new subscriber who is really liking the tell it like it is commentary by AvE
Every time I watch an Uncle DAvE video, I never know if I'm gayer or straighter, manlier or girlier, dirtier or cleaner. You get it. It's, just, a mess.
Hentai Henry You, uhh... you've got some figuring out to do there, bud. Nothing wrong with that, but I reckon the issue is internal, as opposed to being caused by an outside force.
You okay bud?
Now we're torquing. Used many of these (Hydratight & Hytorq mainly) on everything, from emergency hot bolting on petro crackers to dive decompression chambers to arc furnace slew rings. The big beasts, with 2½" drive, are monsters. 25kg for the impact socket alone, you better make sure your squidgy bits aren't anywhere near the reaction arm when you press that remote button...
What is freegun astonishing that an ultra specialized tool that most of us can`t even conceive an application for . yet the rehab video has received a quarter of a gazillion views. I am flabbergasted , also I want one. cheers thanks for posting.
Currently building a torque bench at work capable of up to 55,000 ft lbs (75,000 Nm) for final drives on mining machines.
Bro that's insane
Adjustable wrench is called a portable lathe down under.
Not scoocum at all.
That's pretty hilarious.
I’ve seen these used a lot when I was working as a carpenter building scaffolding in the refineries. Those big 6’ pipes don’t come pre-assembled! The color on the tool designates the size. The tool pushes against the next bolt and nut on the flange.
I found the aluminum anodizing lesson great. I knew some stuff but I didn't know that about white color! Thank you for that. Cheers
what ever happened to that big ol horizontal mill you bought
I was wondering the same thing.
Meredtih492 me too
probably got covered in important stuff lying around the shop and then got forgotten it exists
Yeh, I was expecting vidjayos on that beast.
Spent many hours bolting flanges, heat exchangers etc. with those.
We use these in things in wind turbines to bolt the big bolts that bolt the tower sections together. Up to 70mm nuts on those suckers. We also use hydraulic bolt tensioners if you can get your paws on one of those. It is what you use when the fastener is too long like you were saying, it stretches the bolt and then you use a regular torque wrench to torque the nut to like 35nm and then you let the pressure off the bolt so it is torqued to RFT.
I had one of these in my previous job. a model from Hytorc with a square socket mount that we used to dismantle and reassemble (eventually) large U-joints for aluminum mills, they were coupled to double motor (two rotors mounted in line on the same shaft). the U-joint had a diameter of 1 meter and required a 125mm socket to crack open the monster. Ah! heavy industry good ol' times.
Sometimes when watching AvE I feel like I'm pursing a B.Eng in Material engineering.
lol wrangle star reference
When I was working for a company as an IT support technician I had to remotely work out why a really old MAZAK milling machine in a metal shop wasn't connecting to the local computer network. It ran Windows 95 and I had no clue what it was or what it looked like but then I hadn't watched AvE then. Did it though had to go to the depths of my mind to remember how to use Windows 95 though. It was because of that I found AvE's videos though so good times.
These are used in the oil industry to break and nipple up wellhead flanges and BOPs. ( blow out preventers). Rough necks are happy to see these tools on location, the other option are hammer wrenches.
Wait a minute, your not planning on using this on little screwy are you?
so it runs off of AC? alternating circulating oil? the hydraulic version of ac. am I correct?
I live in Edmonton, and am a pipefitter. I've worked in most of the refineries in the area. I worked for a company that specializes in technical flange bolting where we torque and tension. I have spent many many hours using these wrenches. I don't recognize the brand on this one, seems similar to Enerpac, perhaps a older model? Those swivels seems pretty old. But yeah, very useful tool, and we sure do beat them up a lot and they keep on chooching. I once used one to de-torque a 2" stud. (3 1/8" wrench) at CNRL after their fire in 2011 and ended up literally twisting the stud itself in half. I calculated the pump pressure to wrench torque to be at about 20,000 ft/lbs at the breaking point. Crazy stuff! (Shoulda went for the nut splitter)
I used a different brand of hydraulic torque wrench servicing baling presses. They work awesome. Ours torqued to 3600ftlbs. Couldn't have done the job without it.
Lol :D I wonder if Wranglerstar understands when you talk about him :D
Why don't you give the hydraulics vs pneumatics safety experiment a try?
Pump up a plastic bottle with an air-compressor, and with a pressure washer.
plastic bottle will handle the 150 psi the shop air can put out
I had never heard of "the internets favorite grandfather Tubalcane" (Mrpete222) when you referenced him but am glad I sought out his videos...thx
hydraulic hammer wrench for nippling up BOPs etc. on drilling rigs. we used to use the heck out of them. a big step up from a hammer wrench and a sledge hammer, back when men were made from steel and rigs were made from wood.
So I had to check out this Wranglestar channel everyone was talking about, I'm I the only one saying to myself as I watch for fack sake just get on with it.
Likes the sound of his own voice eh.
Don't correct yourself, air is as fluid as California's gender. Hydraulics are fluids too, but they are also liquids.
I can smell this video. I used those when I was working on wind power plants. They sure pack a punch.
Metric, of course.
We swapped to bolt stretchers instead.
I used a hydraulic wrench back in1994 -98 . Used it to torture big bolts and nuts on big pipe dies for making plastic pipe . That was only way you could the bolts and nuts to tighten correct . Best thing I ever got my hands on .
