all the torque in the world

[Janger]

Had to laugh at this. Really stuck bolts on a hydraulic cylinder. Two guys pulling on a huge, say 20', snipe and this was after heating the bolts. All the torque in the world says the narrator. Imagine shearing it off - then how do you get in there to drill it out?

Ahh the Hydraulic Press Channel, our favorite Finnish squishers of random things

Wow, seriously stuck bolts. Setting the broom on fire was rather hilarious.

Seen a couple 48" pipe wrenches break pushing on them with a Volvo 120 loader....oops.

Also broke loose some 3 1/2" door bolts on a 10,000psi BOP in our cellar using a 5/8" cable sling & a 50ton trolley crane

You had a 10,000psi BOP in your cellar?

I routinely use an 8ft pipe on a 3ft Johnson Bar. Tractor wheel nuts are 800ft lbs. Disk Gang Nuts are 1200. Helps to be big and heavy.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do when big $hit needs worked on...rosebud torches and 4x torque multipliers can make things "snap" quite loudly when stuff finally moves.

I have a big torque multiplier, but it works like crap.

Hard to beat a big piece of pipe...... unless you are clueless like those guys iin the video. Can't fix stupid!

Was trying to break loose a pinion nut on the front diff of a '72 F250. Regular 1/2" drive Snap-On 12" ratchet wasn't doing it. Tried a cheap breaker bar w/ a 2' snipe, the swivel just popped. Out comes the ratchet again, supplemented w/ a 4' snipe. It broke loose. The ratchet, that is.

When I visited the Snap-On truck for a repair kit, I was honest about how it got broke. He smiled, installed the repair kit & told me to get out when I tried to pay for it.

It's amazing what a guy can do with leverage.
