It's not just KZread, as many KZread channels' content varies from person to person. PF content is legitimately no exception and is highly useful with testing, legitimate data, and time efficiency of each video he puts out. He dedicated his channel from experience and whatever gets him started from his heart, he'll put it out there. He saved a lot of industrial workers time so that they can get the best tools to work with by the various tests and various tools that PF utilized with in comparison to each brand. If it wasn't for this channel, I would somewhat be buying the average tools and others, but I seek for the best tools.

My understanding is the impact bits with “torsion zones” are designed for the bit to last longer in its useful life span. Meaning when you’re using the bit to fasten nuts/bolts, or remove them, the bits don’t undergo this kind of extended even torque you see in the video, rather they experience momentary shock force, that drops of rapidly. Those torsion zones are there so that the bits don’t twist over time or multiple uses, but are rather designed to absorb the momentary shock and snap back into original shape. They’re not designed for high constant torque applications, but rather many, many, many smaller momentary shock torque hits. So like if your driving a million deck screws - that’s where these bits shine, they will survive longer without twisting over time.

It is very interesting that he's testing them in inverse which is probably the best way to save 1,000,000 hours... I think objectively this video is just a steel composition comparison for nightmare testing. I think he's actually peering pretty deep here.

@@Ihavetopoop718 i agree with most of his testing methodology. In particular the tests involving bit edge retention and head strength over use/time. My only complaint is regarding the claim that the bits with "torque zones" are compositionally weaker under constant high torque application. That part the bits with torque zones are not designed for, they're designed as a system to survive longer the repeated hammer hits from hammer drivers as you're putting in lots of repeated screws (like deck screws) with lots of small momentary repeated torque blows from the hammer mechanism, acting like a spring and snapping back slightly after each hit - thereby not putting in a permanent twist to the bit, and protecting the head and teeth (Phillips, Torx, etc.) from damage. They're not designed for high torque applications like bolts that needs to be torqued to 150Lbs with a slow turn of a torque wrench or even an Impact Wrench...in this case obviously the thicker the better.

Well you have to admit testing these to the point of failure does give you some indication as to overall durability. Just look at how the DeWalt ran away with the title in the test which counts most... For use with impact tools that generate less than 2000 inch pounds... Which is coincidentally where the bit snapped.

@BigBear--

@@ConcernedCitizenPPCA I agree...I grabbed some of those just to have. But still, there's a reason they design them with these torque zones, and its not for ultimate steady state torque strength, but rather repeated multi-use. So would be interesting to see them tested against each other within those parameters.

I picked up the DeWalt brand adapters on a whim, then watched this video with fingers crossed, and low and behold, luck was on my side! Thanks for the in-depth reviews, you are the man!

Fascinating video, and great testing. I notice that several of the adaptors broke where the size was stamped into the metal - see 1:45 or 3:27, for example. That's exactly what I'd expect for a brittle fracture like this; any notch will weaken the metal and provide a ready initiation site for the fracture. If that's a more general observation, it might suggest tools with printed sizes are stronger.

​@CORNER MARKET PLACE While true, indestructible products aren't as profitable. Generally, high-volume mid- to low-quality companies will buy out the highest-quality companies and intentionally weaken QC and tooling. If not, they re-engineer the product or manufacturing to push the final product to its limit, though this technique is mostly seen in tech products. Another technique is to directly weaken the quality or durability of the construction materials; in moving parts they typically choose to weaken gaskets since those don't often cause catastrophic failure. This last technique is harder to discern because it can be confused with a company "cheaping out" even though it may sometimes cost _more_ because of bad runs and QC problems. A great example of the first type is when WD acquired HGST, a premium hard drive manufacturer. The previously quiet drives became very noisy and failure rates soared. An example of the second type is NAND flash, where nearly every company engineers their products to store 3+ bits per cell, which reduces the NAND lifespan by 2^n. Another example of the second type is panty hose which used to be strong enough to _pull cars._ Now you can tear one with your nail; they achieve this by superheating the fabric. In a rather infamous case for the last type, Pirelli made tires for Formula One which wore out after just 50km. Imagine changing your tires more often than buying gas! Another example of the last type is every line of yard tools which comes in "consumer" and "commercial" versions. Such as Stihl. The consumer tools are designed to wear out faster. Now you know why they embossed the size on the weakest part. It's called "planned obsolescence" and it happens in every industry.

Watching PF's videos it seems like DeWalt is never in the bottom tier. Worst I've ever seen is about middle of the pack. I like that popular brands are always tested.

The PSI value of the test rig is not equivalent to torque. It's just a measure that can be used across all tested products.

PSA time: Timely video for me as I recently had a Milwaukee 1/2" adapter (not one that you tested in this video) shatter like a couple of those tested in this video. It was on the end of a Dewalt impact and I was setting larger (36mm) nuts/bolts for a beefy home workout rig I was assembling. I spent an entire day fastening dozens of nut/bolt combos w/o any signs of a problem. Then, the next day, I grabbed my 36mm socket and popped it onto the Milwaukee adapter once again and pulled the trigger to make sure everything was seated. As I did this, the adapter snapped against the resistance of the palm of my hand holding the socket (read: not much) in an explosive way like a couple of those tested in this video. Because of how I was holding the larger socket with my off-hand & was pressing the drill towards the socket, this jagged part of the adapter basically tore into my hand for a couple of rotations at the base of where my left trigger finger meets my hand. Due to the sharp and jagged nature of the failure point it chunked up a smaller section of that area down to the bone. Needless to say this was a painful mess that took me out of commission for a while. It's been a couple of months now and the area is still pinkish in color and is obviously still repairing and susceptible to damage. Moral: be VERY careful of using these sorts of adapters. I'm not sure the thinner gloves I normally wear would have saved me but it likely could have helped. I would suggest wearing some durable gloves whenever you're using these types of adapters because even if you feel you're using them in a relatively safe manner will below their rated limits... bad things can happen. Be careful folks.

@@richardlapoint1845 when you're younger you always hear the safety warnings from the old farts and just think that they're being crazy. well now I'm the old fart passing along the sage wisdom because I never would have guessed that this part could have failed from the stress (or complete lack thereof) it was under nor could I have guessed the manner in which it failed. I'm almost always the first guy to glove up and wear eye and ear pro. Almost. This was one of those rare occasions where I didn't and I learned my lesson in a painful way. I'm just glad it wasn't worse as it certainly could have been. Hoping to pass this experience along so that others don't have to share in a similar pain to learn the same lesson.

Doesn't having a shock absorbing adapter defeat the purpose of using an impact tool?

@ProjectFarm

3 жыл бұрын

Great point! From testing all of these, it serves as a failure point on short impact zones and adapters with longer impact zones (Bauer and Hercules) absorb too much of the impact.

@TheThomaswastaken

3 жыл бұрын

No. It assists in applying the right torque, instead of getting the full load of torque immediately. Torque limiting extensions are the gold standard in tightening lug nuts because real people in the field will destroy the tool and parts they are working on if you give them the full load of torque immediately.

@richardvedvik979

@@ProjectFarm The shock absorbing in the longer bits has nothing to do with it being an impact absorbing section, it's purely down to length. Try driving a 600mm screw with an impact driver: you'll get absolutely nowhere. If you use a regular drill, it'll go in no problem. More material means more springyness, which means less torque transmission.
