EricMilfeld Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 It's only a matter of time before the Red and the rest fall, Ian. I'll be calibrating this grade 8 and updating the list shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well, Ian is nothing if not persistent. Friday night he fought it to 2 1/8". Looks like he went for it again the very next night. Yeah buddy. -Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bullitt Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Bent a 6" X 5/16" section of drill rod for the Steel Slayer list after my pinch workout today. I cut another 6" section off the same rod to send to Eric tomorrow. Gonna take a break until after MM2 and then give a bastard a run with the singles.

Nice work. I can't wait to see what it calibrates at. Also, Ian's grade 8 calibrated at a whopping 515! That's the strongest grade 8 I've ever calibrated. I even had him bend the same bolt from 30 degrees just to make sure it wasn't a mutant in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I did it, I wished I had tried one of the 5.5" triangle grade 8s I had bought last week. I have a feeling those will be in the upper 400s at least. Oh well, next time...

The 5.5" triangles would actually be in the upper 500s to around 600 for these tough ones we just found. But for purposes of ranking high on the list it wouldn't be of much help.

EricMilfeld Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Congratulations to Mike Rinderle for making the 6" Freestyle, as well as the 6" Reverse list, with bends of 435 and 305 respectively! Nice going, Mike. I know with your wrist and hand strength these bends will be greatly overshadowed by your future bends in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricMilfeld Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Rules 1)All boys and girls no older than 12 years old are eligible. 2)All other Steel Slayer rules apply, but it isn't necessary for the bar to measured or wrapped on videotape prior to the bend. It's the parent's responsibility to measure the bar, have it calibrated, and insure the wraps are within specs. Showing the 2" or less distance between the legs is required on the video. 7" 1)Chris Tolbert 215lb. 1/4 x 7" crs 2009 6" 1)Chris Tolbert 335lb. 60D 20092)Timmy Milfeld 215lb. spiral 60D 20093)Paige Krahling 160lb. 3/16 x 6" crs 2009 4)Eric Tolbert 25lb. 5/32 x 6" crs 2009 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks guys. We'll see if I can improve on those. Just glad the list is new so I could slip in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullitt Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Per Eric's instructions, I cut a 1/4" G8 from Fastenal down to 6" and bent it under 2" for the list this morning. Wasn't prepared for how much harder cutting that 1/8" or so off would make it. Anyway, this should be well above the 435lb 5/16" I bent. I would be surprised if it was less than 500. I'll send Eric the video and a matching G8 for calibration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
