We're working on two more testing rigs now and in the coming months. We still love impact wrenches, and you'll always find the latest and greatest of those here. But we hope you guys will also support our efforts to bring some marketing honesty to more mechanic's type tools now (with air hammers) and in the future. Appreciate each and every one of you who watch. - Torque Edit: We can do cordless SDS rotary/hammer drills & small breakers as well to measure their impacting power if you guys want. Let us know.

This channel just bumped to the top of my favorites list. Real world testing, actual quantitative data, no bias, applicable results. A working mans dream, thank you.

See if SMA will send out his old BIG NASTY! Also get a patent on that rig because that’s genius

This is fantastic. Can't wait to see more of these!

First off I'm not sure if BPM is listed on tinder 🤔 Secondly.... Better make sure that rig is clamped together well. I got a lil guy I'd like to send you way. However I'm not responsible for damages 😏

Time to test SMA's Big Nasty!

Where is Eric with the big nasty and his new toy? He should send them in and that would truly be a test.

LOL "if this was Tinder we'd have all we need" love it!!!!

I expect to see big nasty in the future!

Seriously can we get these guys some more love they are setting standards for the world of power tools. Cutting through all the marketing bs that brands use to take our money and this channel is showing us just how they stack up. You guys are like a scientific version of AVe

The AvE shoutout tells me I’m in the right place

Torque Test Channel makes air hammer rig Big Nasty comes in with Eric O.'s entrance music Torque Test Channel: why do I hear boss music?

You guys are gonna change the game when it comes to buying impact tools and how consumers compare what they need vs what they think they need

I can't wait to see how nasty "Big Nasty" really is. I bought one on Eric's recommendation, and it's big and nasty!

I haven't even watched this yet but you just made my night lol Very excited for this portion of your channel

Just when you think this channel cant get any better you drop this on us. Excellent job. And you definitely need to get big nasty on the dyno.

I’m very interested in this. At work we buy about 30 of the Chicago pneumatic CP717 model air hammers for oil rig work. We use them to drive wedge pins into cable securing clamps, when the clamps and pins are new sometimes it takes 10-15 seconds to drive each pin in due to the pin wedge design and tolerance. There are roughly 600 pins a job, and we do this 7 days a week so these hammers get a good workout. If there was a less expensive comparable power or more powerful model that would be interesting to know. Time is money when you are on a oil rig. We’ve used cheaper air hammers and sometimes it will not even drive the pin in due to lack of power even with the regulator cranked all the way up to 125 psi max pressure. It would be interesting to see also if there is a significant gain to raising the air pressure to a safe level from a minimum level.

I think I speak for all your subscribers. This and SMA are our 2 go 2 channels

6:42 From tiles to loose teeth had me at that moment

You gotta do the Chicago CP717. I'd also like to see the big 3 tool trucks long barrels tested

I've got the sunnex sx243 HD long barrel and it is an absolute beast. I'm a trash truck mechanic and use it for driving out old bushings pushing carrier bearings off. For $71 I think it would be a definite contender for testing. It does tend to starve for air on a 3/8s hose, so stepping up to the 1/2 inch hose makes a big difference. Love your channel, great info 👍

Bring on thor and big nasty

Thank you... sooooo much for this!! I use a Matco air hammer but that’s only because I got it on a deal, when trying to research there is little to no info on these except word of mouth and this is exactly what the world needs!!

You are easily the most impressive Chanel going on now. Always improving.

I have the chief long barrel from harbor freight that thing is a beast would like to see it go against the snap on and Mac long barrels everyone claims those two are the strongest in the .401 shank.

I went to a cordless SDS M18 hammer drill which I made tool for like the 1/2" socket adaptor, hammer heads and cutting tools too. But I don't always have air it the hammer drill had higher bpm then my big Ingersoll. I'm looking forward to y'all growing this is awesome.

That first Mac long barrel hammer at the start of the video is the BEST

Hell yeah. You know what we all want to see though - bring on the Astro 4980!

SMA's Big Nasty!!! Astro Pneumatic 4980!!!

Do the matco long barrel air! I’ll send mine to you if need be

Dude I'm so stoked for this series I literally just started shopping around for an air hammer, but now I'm going to wait for your results! Thanks for doing this man the community really appreciates it 🤘

Great Channel. Good information in all the videos. Never fail to watch a new video from TTC. Very interested in the new air hammer addition. Keep up the good work.

Earlier today while watching a video on your channel, I thought it would be nice to see air hammers tested as I recently bought a new one. This is perfect!

Eric O's Big Nasty ! Its a Astro tool and its like 350$

Maybe you need to weld a cup on the end of the test interface to keep the hammer from sliding off

This channel just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the great work!!

Keep Up The Great Work Gentlemen 👍 Love To See The Power Output Before Purchasing Equipment 🤔 Your Channel Is Helpful To All Walks Of Life ! More Than Any Other Channels Out There ! 5 👍👍👍👍👍 Up

Thank you for the time and research you put into making this video

Love it thank you guys for everything Edit: I have the snap on long barrel and use it everytime I can. Works amazingly. Best power out of all the ones in the shop

Cp 717 on the request list.

The old craftsman air hammers are the meanest I’ve personally used. Far more compact than snap-on and have a lot more snot when you pull the trigger. If I found one at an auction or garage sale I’d pick it up in a heartbeat

I'm excited to what you guys test here. I've only owned 2 air hammers, one was free and the piston is seized so it's never worked, the other is the Chief long barrel as shown in the video and I love it. I think my co-workers use an older CP medium barrel and possibly a Matco long barrel, all .401 shank.

Contemplating getting the harbor freight chief brand air hammer. Can’t wait to see more of this

I would like to see more on some of the "weak sauce" hammers with the positive action trigger for feathering as well. I have the Astro 0498, but it is either destroying something or sleeping. I would like to be able to sneak up on my prey at times with complete control and finesse them without destroying everything around them.

Wish I could "Like" twice. 1 for the helpful consumer info, 1 more for the Max Power reference. Keep up the good work you guys deserve way more subs!

I have a 90s UT .498. She’s a powerful girl and eats most things up. This kind of testing is great, can’t wait for the .498s to get on the dyno.

I’m very excited to see more of this air hammer stuff

This is absolutely great! Love your channel!

I'm really excited for whatever the channel comes up with next. Great content! I hope and suspect the channel will grow rapidly and I'm happy to be here as a subscriber, and to follow along the journey. Where abouts are you guys located??

Now this is going to be a very interesting addition to the channel and I’m very excited to see how things unfold. Well done for coming up with such a great idea! Please also test rotary SDS units and hammer drills too!

YES! Also, I just scrapped one of these air hammers, after beating it on the shop floor with a sledge. My Aircat, witnessing this, works much better now.

My snap-on seems crazy strong, would love to see one compared

Absolutely amazing content. I've watched all of them and hope to see the channel grow. I know I've asked before on Project Farm's channel, but I would LOVE to see torque wrench testing in various sizes from 1/4 in drive to 1/2 in drive. Especially showing accuracy out of the box, accuracy with use (say 100 tightenings?!), and a comparison of any degradation against high dollar wrenches. It would also fit with your channel name!

Awesome someone is doing this. Subbed just for this series

Awesome!! I can’t wait to the the results of the full test! You defenitely have to test the snap on, matco, Mac, and at least the chief air hammers. Central pneumatic and maybe a kobalt, craftsman, dewalt, etc would also be good ones to throw in there just for homeowners.

Literally the thing no one knew to ask for but we all wanted!

i had to explain to a coworker who got himself a VERY strong Air hammer for an air chisel , you want control ability first then power second for what we do, if you cant control the tool that power means nothing and will tend to cause damage to things we work on we cut alot of rivets on trailers with air hammers, so having somthing too powerful is actually bad

I’m a little late to the party here but while you consider everything, check out the rivet gun scene. Several aircraft tool websites have the standard written down in a chart which sizes the guns from 1X up to 9X. The later sizes so big they deserve planetary status! South main auto has Big Nasty which should just be a standard 5x rivet gun. This is a better platform because of the trigger feathering you can do and generally they have a heavier piston moving around inside. It’s not any revolutionary information but your viewers might find it useful to know something about a relatively unknown side of the market.

I like where this channel is going keep up the good work

I appreciate the whole ideas and presentation of this channel! I look forward to you testing more tools from FLEX.....

You oughta weld a ring around the head of that wedge to hold the head of the hammer bit. Interesting to see these results! I think I have that exact same IR that you tested first! Can't wait to see the snap on and Big Nasty!

You could simply weld a round piece of tubing on the end of the wedge to keep the head from bouncing off. The weld wouldn’t have to be too strong either since the pressure isn’t directly on the tubing.

Great work, looking forward to seeing more of this

Actually had that same Amazon IR air hammer. Bought a newer Matco one and it really just blew it out of the water. Great Vid

I can’t believe y’all figured out a way to test this. I have always wondered this. Can’t wait to see how this ends up.

Hands down best tool review on KZfaq. Could you make a rig to do longevity testing? Everybody does the “out of the box” performance but nobody cycles them for wear. -How many cycles can the batteries take? -Does performance decrease with increased wear? -Does dirt and grime affect performance?

Wow! that is great way to do theses tests, I do like what you are doing, and would definitely w8 for your upcoming videos, your channel become more interesting for me day by day, I recently bought the (IR 119 max) air hammer, and I am new at the air hammer world but its power definitely was crazy and dangerous if you don't know how to use it, and I am sure it can compete and even maybe beat bigger brands.

Chicago pneumatic cp7150 Is the hardest hitting air hammer I've used under $100 dollars.The Chicago Pneumatic CP717 is an absolute beast, although it's a. 498 shank. Woukd love to see a head to head of the CP717 against a snap on ph 3050B, both are considered the best

I use a sunex sx243 air hammer. You guys should test it. It’s like $70 on Amazon and actually a pretty decent air hammer for the money. I believe it’s sold under a few other brands too like matco’s silver eagle and blue point

I THINK YOU GUYS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB , PLEASE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That IR air hammer is pretty good for the price I've also got the snapon sometimes I'll use the IR over as it fits in smaller places and hits hard

Can wait to Bing watch all these future videos

I am very excited to see this in action and what is to come with this rig. Would be curious to see the two chief air hammers from harbor freight tested. surely not the most powerful but the chief long barrel seems like it hits pretty hard. Very clever rig setup 👍thanks for the content.

Great job, looking forward to the test on the Matco gun. I just recently bought the 114GQC for light work and a used Matco MT1815 from my dealer. I'd like to see the silver eagle air hammer vs the Matco big dog to see how they compare.

Hell yeah. This is going to really help me decide which air hammer to buy next since I have several. Please review big nasty by astro

I've been using Snap-on PH3050A Long Barrel Super Duty Air Hammer for the past 7 years. Works great so far for many years. If it were to every break, I would not be purchasing a Snap On one again. It is still working good though full time mechanic.

Very good stuff. Keep them coming

Man I love the amount of testing going on in the KZfaq tool community

Great improvement with the gauge.

For the test rig, you need a machine shop to make you a set of custom wedges. For the outside two that are L__ shaped, with one long leg at the top, the other at the bottom, Then stops at the ends so the outer feather wedges have support and the middle wedge is held so it travels straight, and cannot randomly move or fly out.

Great idea! My only suggestion for a slight improvement to the rig is to cut a channel into the metal wedge allowing a chisel bit to be used also in the future. I swear different bits give much different perfomance!

Nice work guys!!!

Awesome! Thanks for the great videos. I would like to see the Sunex SX243.

I've been told the snap on is the most powerful as well. When one was needed in the shop that was the one used

I am voting for rotary hammers as well! Most have hammer-only settings. They can even be rented from the Homeless Despot!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm excited to see air hammer dyno tested!

If you have piston mass, stroke length and impact velocity at 90psi (the joule figure) and the blows per minute, then you have a manufacturer spec for power sort of. Just multiply (J/blow)(blow/min)(min/60sec) to get wattage.

Very nice work!

Wow, that's pretty interesting. Great way to continue to use the hydraulic ram concept for a new test rig.

Cats pajamas 🤣 Don’t think I’ve heard that one before. Great video and looking forward to more.

Well now you've gotta test Big Nasty from SMA!

Can’t wait to see the 2 other tests.

I'd love to see the snapon ph3050b and the astro 4980, both of which I own and love. I find the snapon is better at rattling rusty stuff free because it hits at a higher frequency, but if I really want something to move, the astro is where it's at. I also find I have to be more careful with astro because it will do way more damage to whatever I'm hitting. I work in automotive btw

Cant wait to see more of these, I’d love to see the Harbor Freight air hammer lineup!

Fantastic work. One thing I think should be considered as sort of a side note is the item's durability or expected durability over a period of time.

You just gained another follower with this. I really can't to see more air hammer results

I don't have a specific one I want to see, but there will be a specific one I buy thanks to this series!

I would make some sort of female end that goes over the wedge, and connect to the quick connect to the tool. That way all the blows are registered.

Please test the harbor freight air hammers!

You teased us with this test last night on @cp the tool addicts livestream than drop video today thats like almost instant gratification
