amaury Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Received Eric's grade 5 nails this morning ! Couldn't resist to give a go at my first 6" grade 5 nail ! I bent it in around 15 seconds with pat's style (and per the challenge bars rules of course). Didn't have to kink it a lot to crush it. Next time i'll video the bend and try the 5.5" ! BW this morning : 157lbs Amaury PS: will post pics in the gallery later today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amaury Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks again guys ! That grade 5 bolts have been a myth for me since the day i saw Pat bend one in a video. You can't find them in France, so you can guess how happy i was to receive them in the mail this morning The 5.5" will certainly be tough suckers, probably not far from my limits (at the moment at least). Chris have you tried the 5.5" yet (i know you destroyed some grade 5s lately but i can't remember their size). If so do they feel much harder ? Amaury.

EricMilfeld Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Amaury, glad to hear the nails arrived safely, and were received so inhospitably! Congratulations on your grade 5 bend, on your first try no less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Thanks Eric, i think that if it hadn't bent on my first attempt it wouldn't have bent later: i was so pumped ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongmitts Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 Amaury, I haven't tried a 5.5" yet. I will probably try one as soon as my hands recover from my weekend of gripping. I don't think it should be a problem as I have bent a grade 5 a good 1/4" off center with room to spare. Let us know how they go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amaury Posted March 9, 2004 Author Share Posted March 9, 2004 Thanks all ! Chris: thanks for your answer, the 5.5" shouldn't be a pb for you then ! As for me it was an almost perfectly centered bend so the 5.5" can just be harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
