Jeff Parker Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Anyone know how to apply torque formulas to get a ball park number as far as how a rear sledge lift with a 12lb hammer would correlate to actual lbs on David Hornes pick axe lift? I have done pinkie at 20" on a 12lb sledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJM Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Multiply poundage with length of lever and then divide with lever of pickaxe. Like this. 12lbs x 20 inches / 28 inches = 8,57lbs This gives you rough estimation. More experienced guys have said that pickaxe feels harder because shaft is thicker than typical sledgehammer.
