How Much Power Do You Lose w/ Universal Adapters? Dyno Test For Science

[@TorqueTestChannel]

Who else here for the super outdated Alec Baldwin reference now tho?

[@xitywampas]

Not here for the Alec Baldwin reference, but I did laugh about it when you made the reference. I just love watching tool reviews and tests. I also want to point out that I love your testing methods and plan on watching all of your videos.

[@jaythatguyyouknow5135]

The fact you remembered when you made an obscure, offhand joke 7 months later is kinda funny. The fact you remembered that, made it a point to come back and pin this comment, all after that unfortunate event where the wannabe orange man did what he did makes you legendary.

[@50sKid]

I would really love to see you guys test torque sticks for accuracy, particularly harbor freight

[@asvarien]

What is a torque stick?

[@willbgrill]

At shop air pressure at about 120 psi my set over torques it's rating by anywhere from about 7ft-lbs to 20ft-lbs, I now just go down a size and then torque lug nuts by hand after. The higher the torque rating of the stick the more it over torques in my experience. It also differs slightly between lug nut styles i.e. acorn vs the Toyota style flat washer type and differs slightly when the studs have anti-seize on them vs not. I imagine this is a universal finding if I were to use other brands of torque sticks. As with these tests, the longer the impact gun is running the higher the torque rating so I don't keep holding the trigger down once the fastener slows to almost stopping, which is usually a few hits after being snugged.

[@JacobEcret]

I agree

[@JacobEcret]

@@asvarien huh???

[@JacobEcret]

@@asvarien it’s a stick that twists when it gets to its max torque, to prevent over torque, mostly used on wheel nuts

We usually try to keep videos as short as they can be, sorry for the length of this one. We cut what we can, but there was so much data on these we felt was useful! Links for what we'd recommend. Pinless: amzn.to/31ZFN3P Pinned: amzn.to/3s5q6T8

[@FishFind3000]

Length was fine

[@plaid11]

I’d rather have a 30 minute video that shows stuff like this than a 5 minute video that doesn’t explain anything. Showing what happened to each part was the most interesting part of it. The normal torque stuff is good information and important but it’s the seeing what happens to the tools themselves over time is the real information.

[@PentagonPirate]

[@dieselhatz4247]

Awesome video, very informative. Your dead pan delivery of the phrases had me laughing “Gearwrench didn’t want to come to work today”. I’m in the UK and buy tools from US Amazon occasionally, these videos really help with making those important decisions in life. Think I’ll look at those Tekton and Sunex.

[@JeffSmith-pr1st]

I am a GM auto technician, and I like these videos, it allows me to see how products work before purchasing products weather it’s from the big box store or off the tool truck’s! I have use the impact universal both with pin and pin-less. I have the set of the Matco’s and for me they seem to last me the longest before having to have them warranted.

[@joshuarobinson7522]

Awesome vid! I actually have the $12 Tekton and i love it, but i did wonder about the angle of the Sunex and you answered it, plus seeing these compared to the Gearwrench-Matco style was such an eye-opener and the info on the metal types and hardness. Everyone in the market for an impact swivel should watch this vid for sure!

[@MrSupernova111]

I'm amazed at the prices that Gearwrench gets away with charging when their products consistently underperform and they are notorious for spotty quality control.

[@SMOKEY-JAYS-DIESEL]

2 years ago after watching this I ordered two 1/2" tekton and two 3/8 tekton pinless universal joints and use them all the time. They have held up very well. Thank you for doing this video

[@ChrisZBr0wn]

Love these deep dives as a mech engineer and weekend mechanic. Great explains and thank you for all the testing and data! Easy to say what something might do, but you guys actually test and explain the data! Like a BOLTR but a little deeper. Keep up the good work gents!

[@rhunter3406]

Hey, as a heavy equipment technician I found you get better torque transfer by lubricating them with EP grease. I have both styles and it works on both. You should do a quick follow up on this!

[@Comm0ut]

Slick since grease is of course intended not to rapidly flow under shock loads.

[@michaelsanto985]

[@geoffstrickler]

Very impressive performance by the Sunex pin type. Also impressed by the Tekton.

[@johanusyolder]

Sunex has a great reputation for their impact sockets in general

[@dougankrum3328]

@@johanusyolder Yeah, I've go a few 3/4" Sunex impact sockets I bought from a Heavy duty truck clutch and axle store. Taiwan made, but sure work great, 6 point of course and matte black, fit the fasteners very snug.. Good quality impacts are seldom 'chrome' or 12 points. Even Snap-on states right on their chrome sockets....'Not for Impact Use'... The truck parts store deals with a lot of heavy duty semi-truck stuff...no flimsy tools sold there..most of their customers are big truck mechanics, Internatiol is right down the street...

[@JoeBidenIsNotMyPresident]

I have the Sunex universals and I love them. I use them constantly and had very few issues with them.

Me too. I think they are going to replace snapon. Seem to hold up to them

[@Zyphen4866]

I have the same one and packed it with grease when new, use it almost every time the impact is being used and never had any issues

[@john4kc]

Another good video. The torque loss reinforces advice I give, which is to never cheap out on an impact wrench. You need all the power you can afford, because you're going to be giving a lot of the power right back to things like extensions and swivels.

[@dougankrum3328]

Yeah, swivels lose a lot of power as soon as you get just a few degrees off a straight line.

[@rstar88105]

Before watching, i think the Gearwrench/ Matco 4 flute style will win. Wow that Tekton 6 sided design was really cool to see! All of my stuff is the dedicated sized swivel sockets but I will think about this as they wear out. Just checked Tekton's website and I am shocked they don't sell size dedicated impact swivel sockets. That design would sell so good!

[@plaid11]

I absolutely love these kinds of videos where it’s really testing the whole of the tools. That was the reason I came across your channel in the first place. Keep it up!

[@Jay_Ira]

Great video and testing as usual. I've been needing to get some impact universal joint adaptors. Being a big fan of Tekton already, I'm happy to add their adaptors to my list. Looking forward to the IR 2235 test soon. Keep up the amazing work guys!

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Really awesome review. I have sold Sunex and later on Grey Impact sockets/tools since the 80's. Pallets and pallets of them.I also was a weekend fabricator. It was hard to convince people how good they were until I got them to try them. Then they never questioned them again! The other thing that was great about their sockets were thinner wall than any other brand back then. Awesome explanation on the Hardness/alloys heat treatment ! Any one of those can make or break a good socket! I have never seen an electronic/diamond tipped hardness tester. WOW ! Nice equipment investment! Congrats! New Subscriber!

[@squib308]

That is a badass hardness tester - the machines I've used before are floor standing machines, totally mechanical. turn the wheel until you load up the indenter to a certain amount, then pull the main lever/weight applier, and let it sit 30 seconds to settle. Then undo it, and see how far back the needle goes and get your reading that way. much faster, field usable meter you got there. pretty cool!

I couldn't be happier with them and I sincerely hope that they keep this up in the future.

We just spent a few hundo on sockets of different types and brands including the 'ol tool trucks. But we're always looking for impacts, especially cordless, from the tool trucks to test. As for sockets, we'd feel bad it we nuked one or had to cut it up to measure things. We like sending back the tools we borrow in good condition if it can be helped.

[@andrewmacleod620]

I own a tonne of Sunex sockets and extensions in 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 sizes and although I've been super happy with them, I don't acid test them like you did. It's a shame you didn't just wait all day until they literally grenaded, but I understand the reasons why you didn't do that. I feel even better about my support for Taiwan over China and Sunex ownership now. Thanks for confirming my gut feel and pre-purchase research :-)

[@irvvine]

While U-joint style adapters can articulate up to full 90°, they are basically useless at that point and function only as a weak breaker bar. When tilted over the 45° mark, they pump more torque into the pin itself then they transfer to the other end and after around 60° they are hard to rotate anymore. Also, U-joints do not transfer the torque uniformly through the full rotation so their performance may vary greatly, depending not only on tilt but also on rotation angle at any given moment. They don't seem to be a good design for impact action or when the precise torque matters.

[@rushthezeppelin]

[@kevinkieel6778]

After seeing this great video. It reassured me of my Sunex argument with my shop guys. I have an assortment of Mac tools, Matco, Icon, Snap-on and Sunex, some Ares and Astro Pneumatic. As far as sockets go I'd have to say overall I'm a Sunex guy. Price for quality out pacing the bunch. But in all fairness and reality Snap-on hand tools and sockets are probably the best performing. I went through almost all for wobble extensions Snap-ons precision is unbeatable. Especially since they are Chrome non impact. But are used with hand and power all the same and hold up all the same. Universal impact sockets though I'd have to say Matco ADV is top with Sunex and Snap-on very close second. Ratcheting wrenches Snap-on and Icon handle the most torque consistently before failure where Matco and Mac tools fail. This is just from my shop experience. Point is All of these top companies have something special to offer that can't be beat. Variety of smart choices and experience along with good you tube videos will give you the most complete tool assortment. You can't go wrong with all Snap-on but there is always something better and possibly cheaper still with a lifetime guarantee.

Have the Tekton set and I can confirm it does feel a little smoother once it’s been used a little bit. Definitely did the job I bought it for, I had to remove the AC bracket from my gx470 and it’s at a weird angle, but with the universal socket adapters, it came out quickly and easily.

[@4RT1LL3RY]

I used to work at a Heat Treat a few years back. For 4140 the usual heat treat for Sockets similar to this was no preheat time, 2 hours at 1525°F with 0.40% CP, into agitated oil at 140-150°F followed by a 2 hour 500°F temper. Which usually put the RC at 52RC which the customer spec being 48 to 55 RC. For much Larger sockets such as for 1-1/4in drive with actual size being about 3.5 diameter it also had a 30 minute preheat at 1350°F 0.20%CP before being turned up to 1525°F 0.40%CP. CP being the atmospheric carbon in the furnace.

From owning snap on universal sockets & cheaper versions in the past there is a noticeable build quality difference. But knowing more of the details would be nice to know.

[@billarroo1]

I bought a Proto 1/2" pinless universal joint about 45 years ago I paid about $36.00 for it, I still have it and it's got hardly any wear. And still works well USA made.

[@ferrumignis]

FWIW a universal joint cannot operate anywhere near 90 degrees, they just bind up. Even 45 degrees causes a very large cyclic variation in speed (and therefore torque) so you'd want to be operating it at less than that.

[@ThadrinC]

Yet another amazing video! One thing I would like to see is on battery powered tools the torque loss as the battery gets lower on charge. For example full power, 3/4 power.. half power etc
