Old tools tend to be stronger because of the lack of computer aided design in the past. Nowadays, you can design something with just precisely the amount material needed to get the job done, no more, no less. Older stuff tends to have a hefty safety margin to account for any possible error in calculations.

[@Jamesmor999]

As a mechanical engineer, I can point to the fact that the difference in weight of the device itself is a good indicator of the load bearing capacity. What you also see is that the chinese one is made mainly of sheet metal (i.e. cheap), versus casted parts for the 1970 one. This shows also that the 1970 one is way more costly to produce. When you would calculate the cost for producing - in a large series - such a casted jack in 2021, you would for sure be way more expensive than the sheet metal one. What I am saying here is that the 15 usd that you paid for the 1970 jack is a very good deal.

[@Body_Model]

Did you notice the 1970 jack when it was being compressed the side split in half at 9:00, is it because that's where it was welded..

[@ProPatriaRO]

@@Body_Model welds are often stronger than the surrounding material. And the split is far too clean for it to follow a weld. No, i would be that it was cut from a long piece seamless pipe. It would be the logical choice of construction, cheap and reliable.

[@ryangoff4813]

[@dewrus2153]

@@notquiteordinary - Hi Lostcreativity. I thought it was obvious...but perhaps not. When I said it was "four times the tool", I was just throwing out an expression to emphasize that the old one was much better than the new one...not specific statistics or mathematical calculations. If you wanted to pick nits and get specific about numbers, you would first have to determine what attribute you would focus on to do your calculations, right? What really makes something "four times the tool" or "twice the tool" or "half the tool"? When said in general terms, you can't do this which is why I thought it was obvious I was speaking in general terms. But if you need specific numbers to help you sleep at night, I offer these options just for you. You could start with price...which would make the old one 1.666 times the tool since it's less expensive (although we don't know if the cost shown was current cost of a used jack or the original. If original, you'd have to adjust for inflation which would greatly change the outcome!) You could use load rating which would make the old jack just one times the tool since they are rated the same...and therefore would perform their assigned tasked within spec for anyone. You could use the load required to make them fail in which case the old one is 1.53 times the tool since it required 359 more kg to compress the piston back into the sleeve . You could use the load required to crush the jacks into little bits (aka oblivion) in which case the old one would be precisely 1.636 time the tool You could go with the thickness of the casing which would make the old jack about 4 time the tool. You could go the the actual weight which makes the old one 2.033 times the tool. You could go with how long the jacks lasted which means the old one was 50 times the tool. Or, you could consider that after both jacks were pushed past their respective failure points, the new jack was completely inoperable while the old one continued to work just as well as before it was stressed. In that case, the old one would be 1000 times the tool (+ or - a million) because the new one literally ceased to be a tool and became a paper weight while the old one still worked perfectly fine. Kinda hard to pin a number on that factoid. Another variable worth considering is that the old jack had 50 years of wear-and-tear on the cylinder, piston, and seals...likely making it's current performance less than what it was originally. Without knowing how it would have tested in 1970, there would be a potentially huge discrepancy in the specific numbers you so desire. The only real way to determine this at this point is to buy another new one and use it for 50 years and then redo the test to see how the 50 year old "new" jack compares to its "50 year old" test results. My guess it that new jack won't even have an operational life span of 50 years...but that is just a guess from a random internet stranger who carelessly throws out expressions like "four times the tool" on the interwebs and misleads all but the most astute thinkers who are compelled to call him out for his carelessness with such calculations. Any-hoo...that is why I just threw out a figure of speech and wasn't stating a literal number. But if you really wanted a specific number based on all the criteria I mentioned above, I did the math for you (with a real calculator and everything!) and determined the old one is exactly 132.733125 times the new one. Hope you have a nice weekend, my friend!

Back when i was an apprentice car mechanic we had and old bench press rated to 20T built in 1942, that thing never had a break down in the 4 years i was there. However the guy that wanted to be the boss of the shop felt like we needed a new and better one that was rated to 30T, i don't really get why, we used it to push out worn out ball bearings on cars and sometimes vans. Anyway we got it and it folded like a lawn chair at the first use, guess what did not YES the good old one that was build to last ;D

They made junk in the past as well, and it has long since been thrown away leaving the good quality stuff behind to survive. You certainly have a point though, as most items nowadays are junk, where before, only some of them were junk.

Comrade I can't believe you made steel mash potatoes out of the 1970 antique 5Ton jack. 1970 jack stole the show.1970 jack had out performed the current ones being made 50 decades before. Your demonstrations gave me the sense that 45 degree angle gussets should be welded around the tube and the O-rings could be doubled. Cheaply made jack designs companies make are just for profit and not for purpose and safety. Proven fact history can always repeat itself in some distorted form. Товарищ, не могу поверить, что ты сделал стальное пюре из старинного 5-тонного домкрата 1970 года. Домкрат 1970 года затмил всех. Домкрат 1970 года превзошел нынешние, сделанные за 50 десятилетий до этого. Ваши демонстрации дали мне понять, что вокруг трубы должны быть приварены косынки под углом 45 градусов, а уплотнительные кольца могут быть сдвоены. Компании, выпускающие дешевые конструкции домкратов, предназначены только для получения прибыли, а не для цели и безопасности. История доказанных фактов всегда может повториться в каком-то искаженном виде. Продолжайте хорошую работу!
