Most likely a vibration dampener. You loose torque when the socket vibrates. So you can get a little bit more out of the gun.

Quote HistoryCentrifugal force wouldn't come into play on something you're trying to get loose though. It's not moving. If you're ramming something down full speed I can see how the extra mass on a socket would equal more inertial torque as the fastener stops.

From my experience trying to move something heavier ends up with less output. Ex. 1" impact with a 1 1/2 socket vs say a 3". When the hammer hits that inertia goes into the mass of the socket and the fastener. With the heavier socket more of that inertia is lost in the socket. The ir socket says it has some sort of dual mass mechanism inside. I'll have to see if I can find a cutaway. |

It's a solid machined part, nothing internal. The dual mass comes in with the weight of the socket and the weight of the hammers inside the impact.
It works. There are several different sizes. |

Customer wants 305 tires mounted on wheels that normally accommodate 275. The beads won't seat. Lube, silicone, and ether have failed. There isn't a gap to allow the cheetah in. Ideas? We also ran a ratchet strap around the tire.

I was told that you can take PEX tubing and get them to seal.
Cut the tubing to length and wedge it down between the tire and wheel, lubed up really good. When the tire starts expanding it will push out the PEX. Sounds plausible. |

Or do you mean it will hold air, the beads on the tire won’t slip over the bead of the wheel?
I use to mount IMCA dirt tires back in the day. Have to hook the tire directly to the air hose and slide it under something heavy that won’t get damaged when the tire does seat. Don’t go over 90 psi. Not saying it’s safe, it’s how I use to do it. |

Sent my new truck off to Iowa finally. They pushed the estimated completion date back to late February now.
It's crazy that all the upfitters that make a nice crane and bed are saying if you will need a new truck in 2019 order it now. Other people are saying they're even started to get way behind getting chassis' from Ford and dodge. |

The exodus continues. 33 years with the company foreman retired. 20+ year loaner car dept manager leaves on the 31st. Seven years with us, ten p!us with MB tech leaves same day.
I ended up in a spat with the SM. It felt good to see people stand behind me and hear the things they said. I carry a lot of pull, and I've been around a long time. I could go anywhere, but I like it here. I'm not the person you need to threaten or watch. We are also not in a position to lose anyone, particularly with my skill set. In the end we chalked it up to misunderstanding. We don't know how to take each other. It got rather sketchy for a couple days, but I believe the issue is firmly behind us. My resume is extremely dusty, but I would be the best Christmas gift ever to some people. I'd certainly like to stay and continue my work here, but sometimes things rock the boat a little and make you wake up and take a look outside. I have lost every single team member I have save for two, in a little less than two years. I have a shop full of extremely green techs, who require a great deal of guidance. On the other hand, they rarely disappoint. They are all extremely good at what they do. They learn quickly, they are resilient, they produce excellent work, and they are fun. A lot of fun. I really enjoy this group. They are the newest generation and it is a blessing to be molding them in to line techs. They constantly surprise me with their abilities when given challenges. I'm quite proud of all of them. I suppose more change is coming. I'm hoping to have my flag hours requirement reduced, that I may focus on the techs more and focus on me less. This would also allow me to work on jobs i currently avoid due to time constraints. |

I was able to get my corvette out today and go for a drive. Not far, not even very hard. Damn it felt good. I've been jonesing for a spin in that car for quite some time now. The weather has just been terrible for a long time, or I've been working, or had other obligations. To just enjoy it for a short time was probably the best Christmas gift I could have gotten right now. It sounded good, drove great, and felt wonderful.
We have work until 2pm Monday. We get Tuesday off. I took NYE off. We are closed NYD. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By newguy2k3: It must have escalated quickly. Ordered the chassis and body in July. Chassis showed up on the lot in September. State and federal agencies order most of their vehicles between July and October, my understanding is that a lot of them are renewing their fleets. Coupled with the private sector earning a living again and being able to afford to buy new or expand. Ford/Dodge only slates a short period of assembly line time to build 450/550 and they were not prepared for the order volume coming in. Makes sense to me. |
