All praise uncle bumble fuck, appreciate your pursuit of the beans we're always chasing. More data is more better! That said I would be surprised if your results MATCHED ours, as if you'll watch our original episode we didn't calibrate to a coefficient or bolt tension multiplier to replicate a Skidmore, we did it to an old school IR 231H US made impact. And everything going forward is compared to that, because brands were advertising numbers multiples more powerful than that, but the guns didn't really FEEL like it, and turns out most aren't. We just wanted to compare tools, not assign an almighty rating to any which we think is silly. You mention impact wrench brands use a Skidmore to rate guns, or even breakaway torque. That used to be the case, but they've moved away from that quite a bit if you talk to their engineers. And especially breakaway and nut-busting which they all rate using different methods, DeWalt using a strain gauge on a torsion shaft for example. I myself am working for an impact wrench manufacturer now in product development (Astro) and there's a list of ways impact wrenches are tested depending on the brand buying. It's crazy. So as long as each tool is used in the same test process, the comparison between each is really the end goal.
Glad you were able to convince those 0 & 1's or at least borrowed someone else's to get an upload out! You know Snap-on heard that mallet fail and are enroute with a new one, a fancy full cab box and fresh 10mm sockets for a measly $35/week!
Depending on the application, many applications with bolts require the bolt to hold things together tightly so the friction resists movement vs. the mechanical interlock of the bolt in the hole. But how do you insure you have the right clamping force? Torque is the worst indicator of this because it depends on type of threads and condition of threads. The bolts laying out in the weather will react much differently than the new ones right out of the sealed box. Tightening to a specified torque may or may not get the results that you want. So you calibrate the system with the Skidmore machine. Put your actual bolt into it, tighten it with a torque wrench until you get the clamping force that you require, then tighten the rest of the similar bolts the same way. Open a new box of bolts and you recalibrate the system. The application I'm familiar with is bolted joints in structural steel construction. A lot of methods have been designed for tightening bolts that don't use the torque wrench, but in other industries we still use the torque wrench and I have 3 of them in my home garage workshop.
As Richard Feynman once said, "there is no resilience in this particular material when it is at a temperature of 32 degrees. I believe that has some significance for our problem"
One of those has been sitting in our shop for years. No one knew what it was or where it came from. Now that I know what it is, and what we do, I haven't the foggiest ideal why it's here.
theres a good chance your shop was doing some safety critical work with large bolts (think 1 inch plus) likely they needed to prove for some regulation that the bolts were torquing to a specific bolt stretch under a given torque + angle you were applying.
We are a small family excavating company. Like 8 employees was the largest we've ever been big. Dad started the companyin1963 and doesnt remember purchasing it.
I have spent many days with the good old skidmore testing tension control bolts. We teach that torque applied and tension produced by the bolt are never linear because of environmental factors will constantly change.
AvE is environmentally conscious. The plating on that socket flicked off and returned to the earth from which it came.... the circle of life is complete
Can't wait for the next video using this new toy. We used one of these at Toyota now Tesla in Fremont while building the truck paint line in 2005. Never saw another one on any job site.
Not but a few weeks back I suggested this very device, ney notion, to the Torque Test Channel. Not sure how the Skidder will stack up against their custom cobble wobble but it's worth a shot. As mentioned previously, I have mostly seen the Skidder used for structural stuff, tension control bolts, DTI squirters, TON wrenches, etc. Important to note, there is a specific coefficient through lubricant when using the Skidder. To the manual, Batman!!
I use a Skidmore Wilhelm regularly. Torque values for fasteners are based on the thread friction and friction under the head. T=kDF. The K factor is a constant that varies depending the materials and lubricants on the threads. In order to obtain the proper tensile load in the screw you need to know the K value. Using a Skidmore you plot the torque vs tensile load so you can calculate the K. This can then be used to specify the proper torque on the fastener. The Skidmore is perfect for this.
Love Torque Test Channel - glad other channels like AvE recognize them and hopefully more will start watching their videos. Their testing rig ingunity is write up there with Project Farm
Ah the good ole skidmore. We used to take these out to construction sites and check the iron workers impacts to make sure they were up to snuff. Still remember how hefty they are. But heaving the girthy girl around was a walk in the park compared to taking the 4 foot torque wrench and checking bolts 7 to 9 foot off the ground on a ladder torquing up to 500 ft/lbs. That whooped my ass.
Arrggh -allowing my mild OCD to dominate for a moment - experiments are rarely failures. An experiment whose results disagree with your favorite hypothesis is important, especially if the results disagree with another person's findings. Keep up the good work, AvE ! You are a Canadian hero...
right, you still get information even if the experimental results don't support the hypothesis. It's only a failure when the results are non-repeatable and thus can't be verified by other people. Documenting the methods and procedures for replication is the most important goal of the experiment, not proving the validity of the hypothesis.
Agree with a lower gauge. Also would like to see you do a load test on them fancy dual threaded bolts these TH-camrs are making just curious how much that diamond thread actually holds.

Suggest a little plumbing partner; add a T and an additional dial for the low end with a valve in front of it; then you can easily isolate the small scale one as and when it goes off the scale to avoid damaging it.
Don’t need a 75k valve lol, 75k denotes the tensile force applied. I’m pretty sure at 75,000 psi that whole assembly would of blown to the moon already
In my younger days I tightened many a bolt by direct measurement of their stretch. Nowadays various big-ass breakover bars and cheaters let me feel when tightening becomes nonlinear. It's good enough for terrestrial use.
My grandfather had a pneumatic tool repair shop. We had one of these (might not have been the wilhem brand) mounted under the bench for final testing of impacts. Nothing major mind you, just simple function testing and to see that they could output some torques. Occasionally we'd put a customer gun on it before bringing it in to verify it was down on power. Usually just used 1/2 and 3/4 guns on it. The big 1" semi wheel guns would rattle everything off the bench wall.
I'm not sure if it's the same brand. But at the steel fabration shop I work at, we have one of these to test th TC bolts. Certain jobs we do we have to randomly check different batches of bolts before we can start bolting up beams. Usually only goberment jobs, we did a shipping port in new jersey and let me tell you bud those inspectors were the dullest batch of dull beavers you've ever had the displeasure of encountering...
I sure could have used one of these hoo-haws a few years back when I was designing custom bolts for sanitary pumps. I was torquing batches in a nut and measuring the change in length trying to figure this out.
That old Skidmore is a classic in great condition. I wouldn't change a thing. Mike Wolfe and his brother Robbie (now that they threw Frank Fritz off the show because he struggled with substance abuse) would pay top dollar for it, if they found one like that with original case and manual intact on a pick.
I picked up a Snap-On deadblow hammer at a garage sale. First time I used the hammer it shattered like yours did. I called Snap-On customer service and they sent me a new one, no charge, no problem. Gotta love good customer service!

Stopped dead when I saw a clear area on a bench in your shop at 1:35 in. Did you cheat and clear it off ahead of time in preparation for this moment? Or was it just serendipitous? And no, spell check did not help on the spelling of serendipitous but I did look to see if I screwed that up.
I wonder how much of the reading of the torque is dependant on the type of valve in the measuringapparatus or if its a mechancal dial that is the thing, the type of spring and ratchet? Being faster closing, higher reading, slower closing lower reading.
Things I thought. Doesn’t the hardness of the socket affect the ability for the impact to impart torque on the nut ? (Along with how well everything fits together )
Dude! I use one at work. Had a custom back plate made to test huck bobtails (shud send u a huck sticker) clamp load vs trad bolts. Made sacrificial bolt heads to test self tappers to failure (despite the ASTM test.) oh mine has lo and hi range gauges.
Was the thread lubricated good? That'll change the torque value as you know. If that thing has been stored a while the lube might have gummed up. Might be good to try and clean it up and use good anti sneeze...

A whole machine to show that the more you twist it, the harder it grips it.
It quantifies the qualitative.
So according to Cutting Edge Engineering from Australia that would be a 1 banana bolt.
As Richard Feynman once said, "there is no resilience in this particular material when it is at a temperature of 32 degrees. I believe that has some significance for our problem"
I for one am really impressed how you were able to hang from the ceiling and torque that bolt around 5:40. Some real movie magic going on here.
