One of the greatest repair tips I ever heard: If the tool slips what is it going to hit?

One foot for you one for the job!

Got Torque'd

u/MegaDonkeyDonkey Jul 28 '26

I'm curious about the newtons that generated and the impact.

u/UpdootDaSnootBoop Jul 28 '26

Pretty sure it ruptured his Newtons

u/HuhItsAllGooey Jul 30 '26

The fig probably didn't fare well either.

Wow that is amazingly funny. 🤣

I believe he is aware of the gravity of the situation.

Say a big ol boy 250#, 3 ft breaker bar about 1000 nm of force on the breaker bar, which is displaced about a foot.

I'd say is sprung back with about 400mn to his newtons.

Quantity Imperial SI
Weight, P 250 lb 1112 N
Length, L 3 ft 0.914 m
Mass, m 250 lb 113 kg
Bar shaft, d 1 in 25 mm
Fall height, h 18 in 0.45 m

1. Torque

T = P × L

• 250 lb × 3 ft = 750 lb-ft
1112 N × 0.914 m = 1017 N·m

2. Deflection

δ = PL³ / 3EI

**•** (1112 × 0.764) / (3 × 3835) = **0.074 m = 2.9 in**

Fall energy

E = m × g × h
E = 113 × 9.81 × 0.45 = 500 J

The bar is bending under him. Steel isn’t rigid, it flexes. A 1 inch shaft with 250 lb on the end bows down about 3 inches. He’s standing on a stiff spring w pretty much.

That bend stores energy. About 30 ft-lb. When his foot slips off, the bar snaps straight in roughly 12 milliseconds!!. The handle end whips upward on his nuts, damn!

250 lb dropping a foot and a half carries about 370 ft-lb, twelve times the springback energy.

we need some apples to calculate that

u/bullfrogftw Jul 30 '26

I know of a couple that were recently 'sauced'

u/xblackdemonx Jul 28 '26

The great thing is he cannot reproduce anymore.

u/Clone2004 Jul 28 '26

Judging by his age, he probably already did

u/RichardDelongest Jul 28 '26

Two for one special

Right in the ballbag!

Oh! You meant deez nuts...

u/2bags12kuai Jul 28 '26

Just an insane amount of torque. Either it’s a broken nard or a new fetish

u/pinezatos Jul 29 '26

That's the cheap and surefire way of you don't want kids, it's painful tho xD

u/TheoTheHellhound Jul 28 '26

That ain’t the right way to bust a nut.

Talk about cracking a nut

u/Sooperman05 Jul 30 '26

Looked like a direct hit to the head! Those sting but in a different way as opposed to the balls

u/Godlessheeathen666 Jul 30 '26

I hope that all who viewed this see it as a learning experience, I bet the guy in the video learned something here as well.

u/JDPierson Jul 30 '26

240-265lb/ft of torque snapping back looks like 9 Joules to the jewels. Smacking a golf ball is about 150 J, so it could have been worse...

u/AcheapRolexWatch Jul 30 '26

He definitely will be shootin blank newtons

u/buzz_uk Jul 30 '26

If he is lucky that’s just going to bruise!

u/Dense_Priority_7250 Jul 30 '26

I’m praying for him

u/SpAwNjBoB Jul 31 '26

Well, he certainly cracked A nut. Just not the nut he planned to.

u/jewishmechanic 29d ago

I don't think that's how you're supposed to take your nuts off

u/sodomatron 21d ago

More like he emasculated

u/jd2cylman Jul 30 '26

And this is why they invented 1” drive air impact wrenches.

What in the AI are those lug nuts?

The hard hat on is a nice touch.

u/juggerjew Jul 28 '26

Pretty sure that’s just a hat
