The torque wrench is a key instrument in precision work, so even the smallest obstacle could offset a calibration enough to break a stud, loosen a nut or leave a stripped thread. A torque wrench that is prepped before use will guarantee the most accurate result. Clean and undamaged threads specifically define torque values on […]
Impact wrenches were designed with higher torque in mind — they bust bolts loose or torque them up in excess of 1000-foot pounds. It seems natural that when a person uses an impact wrench, they would use an impact socket.
High Carbon Steel : The term “carbon steel” may also be used in reference to steel which is not stainless steel; in this use carbon steel may include alloy steels. As the carbon percentage content rises, steel has the ability to become harder and stronger through heat treating; however, it becomes less ductile. Regardless of the heat […]
No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. It is important for metal cutting tools to be made from materials harder than the material which is going to be cut, as this ensures that the tool will withstand the heat generated during the metal cutting process. It is also essential for […]
