HYDRAULIC PRESS VS SOCKET WRENCHES WITH RATCHET

We will test the strength of ratchet socket wrenches using a hydraulic press. Different price range and made in different countries

[@dragster100]

I will help to summarize it as below: $ Kg Kg/$ Milwaukee 70 577 8.24 Makita 45 443 9.84 Wurth 35 436 12.46 Forsage 10 385 38.50 Noname 2 65 32.50 So in summary, while Milwaukee wrench demonstrates the best quality, it's worth noting that in terms of Kg/$ spent, Forsage wrench appears to be the best bang for the buck.

[@hotstud17]

I wouldn’t necessarily say forsage is the best bang for buck. Maybe for a light duty mechanic but in the end Milwaukee or makita would be the better option. Especially when they hold their value longer

[@soroushzaker4173]

[@absolom7691]

The difference being, if you need tools for home, perfectly fine to buy cheap. It's different when you rely on your tools to make a living. Spend a bit more to have the confidence that they won't let you down when they are needed to pay the bills.

[@AkioWasRight]

It's not just the breaking point alone that has to justify the cost, there's also wear and long-term durability. You also have to consider the general performance of the tool and how well the mechachinism ratchets. A cheap, sloppy ratchet mechanism can be difficult to use in a tight operating space. So, you might want something high quality and precise.

For those who think "any ratchet will do" is only true when its concerns strength. The difference in quality and design is a huge difference on the force one can apply.

Yes super Bee ,if a man can pull with that much power and hold it ,ITS NOT A RACHET HE NEEDS , YES there's better ,but the test wasn't about that ,so any rachet will do if it's only about applying power ,I have never seen anyone using a press on a rachet to slacken a bolt ,so in essence you r not so superbee unless u have been watching something else

As a modern engineer I’m not surprised that the 1970 wrench still took 1/2 the abuse and still was somewhat functional. New is cheaper, lighter, and economical to built but not always better. Modern cars are a great example of how crappy technology can be. You will never see a 2020 car survive until 2050 but yet all the cars built in 1970 have still made it to 2020. Sure they are heavy and get 15 mpg but they still made the journey and that’s what counts. Old engineering was built to last, not engineered to get you past the warranty so you can buy another. I will never forget my roots.

These tests have two big problems. First, you should maintain constant lever length to know the real torque each wrench can withstand. In addition to that, regarding the wrenches have some flexibility, you should also consider the deformation reached on each test, and the lever ratio to know the actual maximum force, due to the lever changes along the press way down to the breaking point.

[@mugiwara2902]

The distance between the square center to the press is constant, so isn't the first condition fairly well managed? changes with the height of the press in the point of break is occurred by deformation, it may change the kg but won't really change the rank.

[@Sam-gt2vw]

@@kleeo83 You're right, what's changis is the camera position, or that's what I think it looks like now. But I also meantabout the "tensile tool" used. In this case are the big plane circle used by the press, and the changing position clamp on the other side of the wrench. And talking about the lever ratio changing because of the press position, the actual factor that is important here is the angle between the lever and the press: when usin a lever is not the same appliying 1000N at 90 degrees with the lever, than applying it with 70 degrees (with 90 degrees all force is becoming torque, and with 70 degrees some of the force is torque and some is becoming cutting strength).

Good review, testing method seemed quite consistent. Any of these rachets would work for me with the exception of the $2 No name rachet. 65 Kg of force is around 100ft-lbs (dependent on handle length), so I could break that. On Average, all the rachets broke around 1000 ft-lbs (+/-) except no name. Don't know about you but no nut I turn is torqued to 1000 ft-lbs, and even if it was, I don't have the physical strength to turn it let alone break it. It is after all, still a hand tool. The big difference would be the useability with the increased number of racheting teeth. The Wurth seems like a good balance between cost and number of teeth. For most home type applications, even the Fosage would last me a lifetime.

You're wrong in your conversions. 65 kg is roughly 650 Nm (Newton-meters), which is about 480 lbf (pound-feet) of torque. This is more than most car engines produce and way, *way* more than you can do with bare hands. You would need either to step on the ratchet (if you turn vertically), or use a much longer lever to produce that torque. So even the $2 ratchet does the job for like 95% of everyday uses. Nevertheless, personally I would opt for the Würth or the Makita.

Maybe if you test 10 Chinese tools you may a lot of variance, one breaks at 100 while others break at 30 so it can be also a reliability issue

[@josetrigueiro5978]

Hey! That noname socket was the first one I bought and I loved it! It was excellent for working in tight spaces. Unfortunately, at the expense of using it in strenuous tightening, I ended up damaging it, but I would buy another one like it, without hesitation, if I found it on sale again. The other sockets I own are of much better quality, but none of them are as small and as handy for tight areas.

[@jasoncowling998]

I was expecting the old one to do much better. Things were made much more durable back then

[@manuelluis9106]

O importante não está só na força de alavanca mas sim na quantidade de trabalho dos carretos internos que conforme o tempo e esforço de desgaste começa a folgar e avaria. Nunca homem algum vai fazer essa força. O desgaste interno é o fator mais importante.

In fact, even in China a $10 wrench is considered low-end product. China also manufactures very expensive wrenches, which may far exceed your purchasing power. BTW, I'd like to mention that the testing equipment in the video is also made in China, you can see company name on metal tag "蚌埠大洋传感系统工程有限公司".

[@r4dio4ctiv3man9]

Milwaukee is an american brand, but produces in germany, china, czech republic and Taiwan.. So far for american made. Also Würth is by far one of the lowest quality you can get in Germany. If you want something realy high quality, you´d buy Gedore or Hazet. Unlikely there is anything better than those two tool brands...

[@199gSauerkraut]

For Germany: "Hazet" is THE number one for wrenches. A special brand for mechanics. Würth is german too, but more an allround seller.

You can put a pipe on the handle of the rachet, and you will be able to break even the "good" ones just by hand. It happened to me several times (Würth, Makita, Proxxon, Hazet)

Problem with cheap ones is not just material strength which is decent but some times moving parts are off in dimensions or don't have an optional design. I.e. a loose racket wrench.

Más importante es la durabilidad Interna de la herramienta

[@Batholomeos]

The test only shows the load that can be endured. but no one manages to muster this strength. Since I have worked with most of these tools, I can confidently say that the Würth is the one that fits best in the hand and is the best to work with.

If you are strong enough to break any of those you don't need a wrench. Milwaukee don't have safety mechanism in square so that's why it hold the most.
