Lyle Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I tried a 6" 3/8th hex bolt there were no hash marks on the top so I assumed it was G2......well after cheat kinking it to about 20d I still couldn't budge it, also it's very shiny like a stainless steel look?!

Clay Edgin Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 They're not that bad. I've done one with some effort. The only hard part is the kink and then they just smoosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Left Side Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 G2's will give a fight on the kink, and after that nothing, Clay's right. But a G2 that big? Might be in Edgin only territory there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GatorGrip Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I thought I remembered seeing this and it got me thinking about those door hinge bolts which I am sure vary insanely buy brand, design and price range. I was at the local Wal-Mart and in the clearance isle I saw these brass colored 4-inch hinges so for a buck I picked up a set to try to bend of course. I found them among the bending stuff last night and said why not? So I loosely wrapped up one in leather and it bent like butter, as did its 3 brothers. I though for sure these would be a challenge as they are only 4" and door hinges right. Don't waste your money on the things unless you need a quick bend fix then throw a pack in the glove box as it could impress others because door hinges are perceived to be tough by most accounts - not this Bulldog Brand for sure. I saw this on the Strongman's Yield Strength page. 7"x 3/8" Grade 2 Carriage Bolt YS = 310 One day at the local hardware store I bought a 7"x 3/8" Grade 2 Hex Bolt I totally spaced the carriage bolt part, which I think must have been the full threaded type. Well needless to say I hit that thing and it hit right back with an ego-bruising sot below the belt. In other words it didn't go anywhere it didn't want to and of course the 6" version didn't budge either. I kept think why couldn't I bend that thing? I have bent tougher stuff with higher yeield strengths like the following: Based on the site's estimation: Grade 5 Carriage Bolt 6 x1/4 - *Bent 57 degrees Bent 20 degrees *345 pounds 4" x 1/4" *399 Ironmind Blue Nail (cut) - *Bent 20 degrees at 399 lbs Well needless to say I was bummed but when I looked back it was a carriage bolt and not a Hex bolt with an 1" of thread, learned G2 bolts can vary significantly between different manufactures and I am not so sure those estimates of yield strength are as accurate as we would hope they were. Now 6"x 5/16" G2 Hex Bolts from FBBC are a different story of course and fairly easy to bend in my opinion. GATOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
