Tom Flesher Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Rebar snaps incredibly well, believe it or not. It snaps much more quickly than other types of steel when you're moving it, but doesn't snap unexpectedly on single bends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diziet Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Do not bend Lathe Bar Stock. These things snap right at 30 degrees. A 6mm x150mm lathe bar rated around 750lb --- right before it snapped. HRC of 61~63 -- worse than Key stock. I would say grade 8 bolts are right at the limit of hardness vs snap potential. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delan Halmat Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Snapped a pole barn ring shank nail and it didn’t feel nor sound good. Sounded like a rubber band snapping. Honestly thought it was the rubber band i used to wrap it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
