BOLTR: Hydraulic Torque Wrench

HyTorque style of torque wrench for big fasteners. This is capable of 2000 lbs ft! We'll use an Enerpac pump to test it out. 💪 SKOOKUM T-SHIRTS! 💪 teespring.com/...

[@connorerhardt1767]

Theres nothing funnier and more accurate than your absolutely wrenching down on a bolt then saying "click" when shes torqued to arm strength. It honestly makes my day to hear that in every video

[@JustinCglass]

Connor Erhardt a I started doing that when I think it's to the right torque. It's the internal torque wrench

[@WeAreThePeef]

First time I've seen that from him. I lolled at it and decided I should start doing that to entertain myself.

[@thefordmaniac]

Check out @ElderlyIron cllllliiiccckkkk

[@dcm220]

Wait, is AvE saying "click" supposed to be the torque wrench indicating the correct torque? I always thought he was torquing until the fastener yielded, then you hear the "click" and it gets much easier to turn...

[@WeAreThePeef]

Sometimes they don't even get the drain plug out before fucking it up. My dad has always changed his own oil. One day he got lazy and took his truck to walmart. Turns out the mechanic was feeling lazy too, and tried to use an impact to remove the drain plug. Only problem was that he had the impact on righty tighty instead of lefty loosey. Not a fun day.

[@mephInc]

That's a cute little guy. :) We use 6" ones where I work. Nothing more fun than torquing down a 108" hot blast valve. Also note: these are designed to rest against a nut that you are not torquing. That nut braces it so it can chooch on the active nut. Those chowder marks are likely because they achieved the torque needed and it was wedged against another nut. A little tap tap taparoo does the trick. As far as the "half a flat per...", yes, we use a spline drive impact to snug everything up and then torque them to high hell.

[@FUNDAM3NT]

Enjoyed the vid. Worked up in Grand Prairie on an 800 man shutdown for a midfield gas plant. These hy-torques were a real nut saver. Busting 2 inch nuts on a giant flange that havent been broke for years, two men on one 40 inch ratchet were enough to blow a nut. A lot of areas we couldn’t get our wrench or ratchet into and were forced to use the hy-torque and never looked back. Could follow all around the flange to break, and torque any bolts on site. A fun side note I found that the idea of having that red anodized aluminum plate wasn’t just for looks..when the wrench is on the nut it needs to rest against the bolts under it to keep all the torque on the nut to spin. When you’re getting up to that super high torque you have your finger under the wrench anywhere in the “red zone” when you hit you’re switch and you won’t be getting your fingers back. Won’t be much left of them

23:43 the 8 drilled dimples with the threaded hole in the center is actually for a handle so you can hold on to the tool and not have your hand in the line of fire or holding onto the hoses and have to worry about hydraulic injection. The 8 dimples are so you can index the handle how you need it. Same basic design as a Hytorq.

[@mcmoffitt]

[@jsee2389]

We've even got a hydro torque that pretty much looks like a large diamiter pass through porta-power cylinder but you thread it on to a stud and it streaches the stud. Then you reach through a little window in the cylinder and spin the nut(small holes drilled on the centers of the flats) with a long punch or whatever you can find close by. You guys know how it is.

SeanBZA Buy the biggest damn size you can find and just machine smaller hex inserts for it. I'd guess that you could "safely" step 2" down to 1.5" and smaller with little risk and fairly simple machining then send the inserts out for heat treat. Probably not the safest thing in the world, but...

[@adammartin6085]

another epic performance ave, these videos are a treat especial

[@spagsketti]

AVE you are absolutely correct. I used to fill liquid o2, N2 Ar, Co2 and a few other gases. For one that cylinder is 3000 psi (American math) and when liquid oxygen mixes with oil they violently react with each other. Even more so with liquid oxygen (liquid o2 cryo. is 350 psi) I had to fill the medical oxygen vans that had to be over a cement slab because blacktop is oil. (not sure what happened to this first part but a bunch is missing I will fix it later) Story time, In Seattle a couple guys took a scrap cryo of o2 and had it filled. Since the vacuum in between the inner tank and outer wall was non existent it all vented out in less than a day. So, they took the 350 psi fart valve off and plugged it. Driving down i5 they got a flat tire and while fixing the flat that oxygen cryo exploded. The vehicle was a Isuzu flatbed style vehicle and it leveled the cab flat with the bed. Seats, dash, steering wheel and column gone. One guy was thrown from one side of 5 lanes over the other side of oncoming 5 lanes and landed on the hill. the other guy was thrown multiple 100's of feet the other way. The cryo (200 lbs of stainless steel) landed 1/2 mile in some lady's living room. Both guys lived, I do not know what kinda life they have though it was a news paper article I had to read for safety when I was hired and it was 20+ years ago.

I work in the natural gas industry on large natural gas compressor down here in the states. We use these all the time. They have a 3/4" and a 1" drive unit also. That drilled and tapped hole one there with all the little dimples around it is for a T-handle that you can put on either side. Also the manufacturer we have is Torc Up and the head you have would be classified as a TX-2 they sell inserts to go from a 2 3/8" nut to smaller sized nuts. We use a TX-4 that's larger it goes up to 2 5/8". Great pieces of equipment for sure!!!

For the bolt head stuck in the hex head it's good to thread it back in but then tighten with the ratchet slightly, the tool will be free for sure! you usually feel the tool pop free with the lightest nip up again. this way I find it creates the least fastner fuckage.

The aluminum part is red because when you operate the torque head to tighten studs on a flange connection, the tool twists against an adjacent stud for leverage. It's aluminum to prevent damage to the nut, and red to warn you of the pinch point.

Not a bad piece of gear you got, we use these to torque the bolts that secure the manways on the reactors in my plant. The truly bad ass ones I used didn't even apply toque to the nut/bolt. They threaded on to the bolt thread and fit over the nut and used hydraulics to stretch the bolt. Then all you had to do was run the nut down by hand to snug it up to the flanges of the pipe or vessel. When you let off the pressure the bolt stretch is what determined clamping force. Used them on high pressure stream lines in plants.

The usual steps for anodising: - Rinsing (warm soapy bath) - Etching (to remove the natural oxide layer in a acid bath) - Anodising (growing back the oxide layer, mostly done with DC, again in an acid bath) (this oxide layer is porous so the current can keep reaching the alu to form thicker layers) - Colouring (filling the pores with a pigment, can be done separately or in the step above) - Sealing the oxide layer (done with steam or boiling water, to close the pores) It can be done differently but these are the general steps. I can tell you're not a chemist, but whenever you tell something about chemistry you are spot on. I admire that (as a chemist)!

So I had to check out this Wranglestar channel everyone was talking about, I'm I the only one saying to myself as I watch for fack sake just get on with it.

Likes the sound of his own voice eh.

[@AndreaArzensek]

I found the aluminum anodizing lesson great. I knew some stuff but I didn't know that about white color! Thank you for that. Cheers

[@jamest.5001]

so it runs off of AC? alternating circulating oil? the hydraulic version of ac. am I correct?

[@Eytaris]

I had one of these in my previous job. a model from Hytorc with a square socket mount that we used to dismantle and reassemble (eventually) large U-joints for aluminum mills, they were coupled to double motor (two rotors mounted in line on the same shaft). the U-joint had a diameter of 1 meter and required a 125mm socket to crack open the monster. Ah! heavy industry good ol' times.

I wonder how WrangleStar is going to react to one of his KZbin idols calling him "that other fuckhead". 😂 I used to watch the guy, and he has good taste in music (Americana/Folk), but he's way too PC for me.

I use these things all the time. The tap hole in the ram surrounded by the circle of half holes is for a removable handle to keep your hands out of the way. These things are well known for taking off fingers because once you start the travel on the ram you have to finish the stroke.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

Definitely heavy duty. I don't think it will fit any of my nuts though.

[@gmoar]

Now we're torquing. Used many of these (Hydratight & Hytorq mainly) on everything, from emergency hot bolting on petro crackers to dive decompression chambers to arc furnace slew rings. The big beasts, with 2½" drive, are monsters. 25kg for the impact socket alone, you better make sure your squidgy bits aren't anywhere near the reaction arm when you press that remote button...

[@alektad]

Don't correct yourself, air is as fluid as California's gender. Hydraulics are fluids too, but they are also liquids.

[@defaultuser000]

I've watched people torque down, and crack loose, well heads in the gas patches with these quite a few times. Very cool bit of engineering.

[@arcadeuk]

Gotta laugh at the downvoters. Do people come on here, watch a 31 minute vid and then hit the old disliker button "I fucken hate torque wrenches" - crazy people

[@guardrailbiter]

I'm pretty sure they're just linguistic snobs who underestimate him because of his accent and his creative vocabulary.

[@jssavig]

I love these! They work awesome and save the body big time. All factory's should have these hands down.

[@Stoovvee]

What happend whit ave and wranglerstar

[@Schnot]

stavro1998 I think AvE is just fed up with his bullshit.

[@Vendraxus]

doesn't like shills? dunno.

[@broken1965]

stavro1998 wrangling hack been shilling for years

[@jeffsmith63]

All the comments above me and that wrangle is trash, because he uses his feelings as a substitute for actually knowing anything.

[@Sawsquatch]

Probably tried to buy jeep parts off Cody a while back.

[@locomike102]

I love these things, used them on locomotive truck tear-downs. The one time it popped off a nut and and went right into the guy's chicklets was pretty amazing. Summer teeth for sure.

[@traviscase8678]

Beats a slugger wrench.

[@johncox9660]

What is freegun astonishing that an ultra specialized tool that most of us can`t even conceive an application for . yet the rehab video has received a quarter of a gazillion views. I am flabbergasted , also I want one. cheers thanks for posting.
