It appears that when your hex bar bends downward under load, the force of the press isn't purely at right angles to the wrench any more, causing some to twist the handle, since the flat is not near as strong as the edge on a wrench. Support the hex bar before and after the wrench for more accurate distruction measurements.
True. But you won’t experience these loads without a breaker bar. A breaker is never centered. This is a good test exposing wrench steel weakness. Furthermore, most wrenches have a canted box end. Meaning they’ll experience the torsion either way.
I was going to say something able the hex bar. Because it is so far out, the bend in the hex bar is an added variable to this equation. Plus, we're all the wrenches place at the exact same point on that bending hex bar? I am glad to see Milwaukee at the top of the chart though. They make very good tools.
Am I the only one who actually sees that the Wera is probably the best out of all of those wrenches??? It is the lightest, and it has 30-degree steps on both ends. NOBODY will push or pull 330kg on it ever!!! It snaps because it is made of hardened steel. Those shitty soft steels used on the first 4 wrenches mean they will wear off very quickly and in time would damage the bolts/nuts. The second place in my opinion is Milwaukee. All others are rubbish. Obviously, the test wasn't about the overall quality. But when I read some comments about how Wera is bad I couldn't resist to write something.
Just 1 thing to consider, Hardness in the 48/55 hrc class will be more brittle but for low torque fastners and rusty/rough surfaces the harder spanners dont wear and round off as much, same with Joe X who tests knives, soft steel will be tough but wont hold a wear resistant cutting edge for peanuts, Horses for courses :-)) Your mileage may vary :-))
Würth ist kein Hersteller sondern Händler. Die kaufen Werkzeuge und lassen ihren Namen Aufdrucken. In der Praxis aber mehr als ausreichend, hab noch nie ein 17er Schlüssel mit der Hand abgebrochen... 😅
Nope. Most wrenches today are not straight on the box end. This speaks for the quality of steel perfectly. And I’m an American who was hoping Wera won.
Interesting, but ultimately I'm not sure if it is particularly relevant when buying your tools. The likelihood of you exerting that much force on a spanner is low. Whereas the requirement for accurate machining of the contact surfaces and dimensional accuracy is far greater. I use Wera Joker spanners and find them very good on the metrics that make a good spanner good. I dont fear shearing the head off the spanner under normal use
This is an excellent test. Dimensional stability under load is the entire point of a wrench/spanner. Imagine you're trying to crank a nut or bolt and the wrench goes Play-doh on you, opening up by 3mm. and chewing the corners off. I had that happen on a BMW fan clutch wrench. It survived ONE use. I'm reasonably strong, but it was nowhere near the force one would think is needed to distort a wrench. The second time I tried to use it (earlier today), it wouldn't hold. One jaw was bent outward and the tips were 34.8mm apart instead of 32. And since the jaws weren't parallel anymore, there's no Macgyvering it to work since the torque delivery surfaces aren't in phase anymore. Trust me, I tried. It was just too far gone because the metal was too soft when it was made. So it got marked with SchieBe. because that's what it is.
Tvrdost klíčů nebo ořechů je priorita a WERA krásně střelila je nejlepší, pružné se velice rychle opotřebují, vytahají jsou potom k ničemu a tento test mi jen potvrdil že pružný vydrží větší tlak, ale to je právě špatně my mechanici víme lepší když praskne než se vytahá a musíš je vyhodit, naše TONA je také tvrdá vydrží věky ale je také drahá.
Creo que muchos comenzamos a sospechar que trabajas para herramientas Milwaukee, que te pagan muy bien para desprestigiar a otras marcas, que vendes esas herramientas Milwaukee o que eres el dueño o accionista de la empresa que las fábrica 🤔
Ei tullut mieleen, että pitäisi tukea se terästanko, toisesta päästä? Nämä tulokset ova insinöörille, täysin mitään sanomattomia. Eivät pidä paikkaansa, koska "vääntömomentti" ei suuntaudu suoraan, kyseiseen avaimeen/miin. Uusiksi, kiitos ja tällä kertaa oikein.
I would be interested to see how the more expensive/professional wrenches from the United States. The low end in cost would be S&K, Craftsman, Mac, and the most expensive would be Snap-On. Please do a video showing those brands.
Wera is a subsidiary of Bitburger Holding. And Bitburger also produces beer in Germany. In addition, production from Wera would be relocated to the Czech Republic. That's why it's not Made in Germany.
Normálnímu člověku stáčí i ty nejhorší klíče znám takové lidi a nemají šanci je zničit, zato v servisu ti ani nepomůžou ty nejkvalitnější i kvalita při častém používání se zničí.
Not sure about the starting angle of the wrenches. Milwaukee/USA is for sure the winner. It seems some mfg's harden the ends mostly but Milwaukee and the one German wrench temper the entire piece, with the most expensive being the most brittle. Maybe it was tempered too much. Still the Milwaukee @ $17 seems expensive, but is it? Overall for Joe homeowner, all but the last one is probably capable enough for ordinary/general use at home.
Milwaukee USA is in fact manufactured in Solingen, Germany. German steel is still the best as it has been since the late 18th century where it stole the crown from Toledo, Spain.
@@WontSeeReplies Having a harder wrench is better all day. Less chance of rounding out the flats and nobody wants a bent wrench (unless you do it on purpose for a reason). If it goes to those lengths it's time to replace it either way. But you'll get more force out the the Wera or Milwuakee without plastic deformation. Just not as tough overall if you plan to take it to it's breaking point.
