Got my Secret Santa gift open

[Branson]

Have you found how to use it?  The mechanical advantage of these is so intense that these can appear to not work.  But  if you crank on the upper arm and watch the male socket end on the bottom, you'll see it move ever so slightly.

I have the flu so have not tried it out on a wheel yet. I am thinking the little cup is adjusted to fit over the nut on a stud. Seems to be about 34 or 35 turns of the handle to get 1 turn of the socket.
if I remember my physics right 4  or 5 pounds pressure on the handle should be more than enough to do the job. Gotta try it as soon as I feel better.

Hmm, lessee...if you can put , say 40 ftlb on the handle, and it's a 35:1 ratio, you should be around 1400 ftlb

Should snap that stud right off ;P

Very nice tool :)))

Is Secret Santa on again this year Papaw?

If so I think those who are willing to go international need a little warning. Shipping overseas takes a little longer.

Anyway, I'll in it again.
