On the Torque Test Channel our aim is to test old-school to modern tools on a level playing field to compare or reveal performance figures in understandable terms in order to shine some light on recent marketing trends.
FAQ:
You should use ($120-250) battery on (X) brand!
If they package their kit that way. For now, they rate the tool's specs with the battery they provide so we test vs that.
What air set-up do you have?
IR 80gal compressor - 20ft 1" cast iron pipe to 3ft 3/4" pipe threaded into wall regulator (48 CFM max), 3/8" NPT out to 3/8" 25ft hose. 1/4" Milton V Hi-Flo Pro fittings and Milton 5in1 hi-flo coupler (67 CFM max)
Why do you test up to 15 seconds (that's too long, too short):
See ep1, there's a standard for impact testing.
Can I send you a tool and you send back?
Yes! TorqueTestChannel at gmail.com
Why not use a torque wrench?
See ep3 on nut-busting.
It's technically "pounds-foot" though
We tried saying it that way, it's pretty laborsome after awhile.
