    Let's take a slow-mo peak inside air tools and cordless impact wrenches and impact drivers to see how they work. Even if you already KNEW how they work, it's pretty cool to see it first hand in high speed video we think!
    Torque of TTC is working in product development for Astro Tools who also make impact wrenches (air). TTC is not the only testing out there, always consider multiple sources when looking at a tool!

      You mean wear on the hammer surface? It's easy to control with electric designs as the motor is only going to put out what it puts out.
      (Well, unless you're like me and wonder what happened when you put 120VAC to a12 DC motor, lol)
      Air designs you could theoretically over-speed, but most air systems are standardized.
      You mostly run into that problem in hydraulic powered tools as small changes in flow make big changes in power.

    Fascinating stuff there. I recall in my high school physics class the teacher explained how angular momentum could be conserved in elastic or inelastic "collisions" of rotating shafts, but I could tell he was having a hard time finding any examples of this - here we have it! Now planning to become a high school physics teacher myself I anticipate I'll show some of these clips to my future classes. Another cool thing about the physics here is that some of these have the hammer bouncing back rather than simply stopping - that actually increases the momentum transfer as there is greater momentum change (going not just to zero but negative). And the spring doesn't just push the hammer forward, it stores energy then will spring the hammer forward potentially faster than the motor.

      For your brighter students, I'd introduce energy methods for solving collisions. Basically, the "torque" you get out of this thing is actually rooted in the kinetic energy stored in the hammer and dumped through the anvil. This one isn't conserved, there's plenty of waste going on, but enough makes it to the shaft to be very useful. Anyway, since everything is basically a spring, you can store energy throughout the whole system just like when using a spring. The relationship is linear as well - it's just Hooke's law. Where things get interesting is what happens once static friction is broken. Whatever energy is left after tensioning the entire system up to its point of either yield or maximum allowable static friction has to go into causing "permanent" rotation or deformation.
      Showing some of the high speed video will demonstrate how every hammer blow adds just a little bit of rotation to the fastener, which gets smaller as the video progresses due to more energy being required to overcome the static friction holding the thing in place.
      This might be a good introduction to energy methods for impact analysis, should any of them wish to take up mechanical engineering later on.

Then I discovered impact drivers and construction screws and now framing is my favorite job to do! I have an electric, corded driver and its so good at sinking construction screws into 2x4. And every screw pulls things together more and more. Unlike hammering nails where you are tightening the one you are hitting and loosening all the rest.

    Great job on the video! A point of clarification when speaking about fastening, dynamic torque refers to a fastener being driven at a relative speed while in continuous motion. An impact tool by design drives the fastener with strikes and pauses which requires the fastener to overcome static friction each time, stealing a portion of the applied energy away that was intended to developing the clamp load needed to properly secure a given joint. The up side to impact tools is that they reduce the reaction force felt by the user allowing for for higher torques to be achieved without the need for torque reaction devices! When joint loading accuracy is of the utmost importance a DC electric fastening tool is the tool of choice as it tightens in a truly dynamic manner! Lastly, we can limit the negative impact of the variation in friction of a joint by using a torque + angle tightening strategy as it relies less on applied torque and more on mechanical rotation to drive the fastener!
