Was that a 60d timber tie? I wasn't sure from the video.

Nice bend!

Stump, those 60d spiral Griprites are also called timber ties. Just for comparison, the cal numbers for each are as follows:

Timber tie-- @190lbs

Reg. 60d -- @300lbs avg.

Reg. 60's are sometimes called "bright common 60d", "cement coated", or "galvanized". The shaft of the nail is smooth, and not rippled or spiralled. FYI, just so you know! Congrats on a good bend!

Also liked the barehand crushdown. That's a good bend in that wrap setup!

[Magnus]

Yeah, that barehand crush was interesting

Thanks for all the compliments fellas! I'll look for some of the harder 60D's this weekend.

great work - you'll kill the "harder" 60D's also

Just to confuse, I've had 3 distinctly different types of the spiral griprite timber ties. First ones probably only hit around 130 lbs and made a big wide "U" bend. I keep those for my son to bend. They came in a green and yellow 5 pound box. Another 5 pound box yielded some that had a crazy hard kink for timber ties and they broke like they were brittle. And the third of course is the 195 pounders like Fox said. They're good stuff.

Great job on that bend!
