FIRST THINGS FIRST: CONGRATS ON THIS BENDING MILESTONE! “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime” Try this link for some of this person's measured yield strengths on bars, bolts and nails. Now as you have found already steel varies but normally the higher the grade of bolt the less variances. http://home.insight.rr.com/strongman/bending.html Just click the icon you wish, one is listed by lengths and the other yield strengths.

com202 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Awesome Job, Stranger!! I got the same bolt on 11/21 and on 1/2 I got, Grade8, Grade9, and 7"x1/4" Square. Just keep at it and nothing can stop you. Check out the link below it has the info. you want. Also, go to the 2nd page, posts #32 & #40. Scott Styles put all of the info. in graph form. Print them off and you will always have them. Eric did a great job on calibrating alot of steel. http://www.gripboard.com/index.php?showtop...3&hl=calibrated Keep us updated and if there are anymore questions, feel free to ask. \\m// Quote Jason Williams \\m// Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle - Psalm 144 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. - Matthew 5:9 Perseverance: To Remain Steadfast Against All Odds. 2nd @ THE SHOW OF HANDS GRIP CUP 2006 3rd @ THE SHOW OF HANDS GRIP CUP 2007
Grh122 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 tonight i got my 25 g5 bolts from mcmaster. i bent one of them and it was the hardest of all my bendsit was 1/4 by 6" and i hope to bend more. on another note ( i know i ask this question every time i get on here) how much pressure does it take to bend on of thos? and how much for a g8? I have gotten two different brands of G5s from McMaster. The harder of the two have something that looks like a diamond on the head. The easier brand has a triangle on the head. The rating that I have seen for Grade 5s (6") is 345 lbs. However, I would guess that the triangle-head bolts are somewhat less than that, perhaps in the 330 lb. range. Don't worry if you have the weaker of the two brands. My first 6" G5 was a diamond-head. At that time, I didn't know about the difference and I moved up to 5.5" G5s. My first at this length was triangle head type, a couple months later I cut down a 6" diamond head bolt and tried it - it was definitely harder, but I got it too. Once you get a grade 5, you're playing in the right league ... Congrats. Quote
