I'm just here to say it's not about speed when it come to auto machine I only use power tools to take nuts and bolts off.. they dust collector in my tool chests.
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.
@@af099 haha we dont have an "editor". That's a card telling you we're clipping the footage to save you 20 seconds of me just flipping the Milwaukee from forward to reverse. An example of how something that took 0.5 seconds is 20 boring seconds of a slow moving thumb :P Did spell "forward" wrong there though, like a real smart guy.
This is the best informative video on impacts I've ever seen, really appreciate it! Personally I run air whenever possible. Easier on the hands, faster, and much more manly vroom vroom. Cordless is great when there's no air available, or you're inside of a bin, etc.
I would’ve like to have seen the paint lines on all sockets also during the super slow mo (just to see the normal rotation of the socket vs. the hammer/dogs rotating)
Great content yet again which is to be expected from you guys. This explains n shows what the different hammers n anvils are doing better than anything else out there. Thanks for all the work you guys do to bring straight up honest content to us, the consumers
This makes me realize something. Sometimes after running an impact the anvil is stuck and won't turn till I hit the trigger again. That is probably when the hammers have slid on top of the dogs on the anvil rather than just engaging. Always wondered what caused that bind!
The algorithm brought me to your video, I had ZERO idea this is how impacts operated. I've had my milwaukee impact for almost 7 years, abusing it every day for work. Seeing how it uses a rotational hammer and anvil is even more surprising since it's still kicking to this day haha great video🤘👌
Great channel i always pull up these videos to put down some erroneous claim from a co worker like and im not kidding you. Bosh is just as good as Milwaukee. Dude said it with a straight face and still stands by it for every tool they make even though i pulled up some videos of your of bosh getting obliterated by everyone.
Once again, I learned something new. I never even thought about the mass difference between the air and cordless hammer drills before. I will say, however, for screws and even some mechanic operations, the cordless impact is much more convenient, but I know when to bring the big guns (air) out.
When I first bought my house, I used to frame walls and things with a hammer and a bunch of nails. 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.
Fantastic video. Super clear explanation and video , with a pleasant non rambling speaking voice , a rarity on UA-cam . here's something interesting you might not have heard of . In Germany , where i live , i had a log style house built six years ago and noticed during the construction of some structural beams that the workers were NOT using impact wrenches on large screws . They said it wasn't allowed . The reason being that the impact action tended to ream out the holes in the wood when the screw is being installed .
Yeh, that makes sense. These things aren't exactly torque limited (like yonder Makita drill, for example). They deliver a fixed amount of energy (per ugga-dugga). While the screw is going in, that energy goes into driving said screw a little bit at a time (but many blows each second). Once the screw is fully seated, that energy still has to go somewhere. It's not like the torque-limiting clutch on the drill, where a bunch of spring-ball detents just let go (though that makes a similar sound), this is a big hunk of metal spinnamathingin' like crazy one moment and coming to more or less a complete stop *through that screw* the next. Where wood is concerned, when it can't cut it'll just shred.
Superb display of how these actually work. As an ASE Master Mechanic with over 30 years' experience, I still use shop air except for interior and 1/4 drive work. I love my Mac Racing 1/2 inch twin hammer air guns which are about 20 years old now. Even with hard daily use they only need seals and anvils about every five years. While other tech's use battery power almost exclusively, I drag the hose around for two primary reasons. #1 The air is there and it has zero (0) effect on my commission. Shop air is expensive for the shop, but free to me. I've never asked the boss to buy my batteries, but I'm sure someone has and they still don't. New batteries work well with daily cycling but they still run out of power a lot compared to the compressor which has a worst case down time of 1 day every 15 years. #2 Extreme and unforgiving power. In the real world, we don't use the recommended 90 PSI. That air hose has 130-140 PSI. I know when I put a massive socket on my gun and put that socket on the front crank bolt of a Lexus, two things will happen. The gun will leave unless I hold on very tight with both hands and the bolt will come out. It always works. Awesome video!
I love the scientific approach and dive! My only gripe is that you described what was going on in the impact driver using force and not impulse. Regardless of the similar name, I understand force being more easily understood by a wider audience, but it does not describe best what's going on. The force imparted by the hammer can only be as high as the force returned by the load. The force coming from the load end is what is responsible for the measurable acceleration (the hammer slowing down). However, it is much easier and, honestly, more intuitive to analyze momentum and impulse, or mass times *velocity*.
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!
Ok, now I know why it's called "impact" gun. It literally impact the bolt. Thanks, now I just learn something new even though I don't do any DIY stuff and don't own an impact driver.
You really do have to see a hammer-drill in action to understand it, it seems. I tried the wikipedia page on them, and it didn't click until i watched this. Thanks for making this video. I learned something today.

This is an excellent video and when I was 21 years old and in junior college and taking engine rebuilding we got to learn how an impact wrench works. This video goes into great deal on how it works and gives one an excellent illustration of how it works. Thank you.
Incredible video, probably the best one out there showing and explaining this topic!! Very, very thankful for this! You all are doing God's work! I've become a subscriber.
As always great source of content but I do have a suggestion for science. If the three-point system has an issue making consistent impacts and the two-point systems work reliably enough in the small platform impacts. Then would it make sense to remove half of the two point system to lower the impacts per minute but greatly increase the torque output
I would like high speed camera footage of money flying out of my wallet buying tools based on the results of TTC tests ... Very interesting and informative vid!
Im glad you covered the pros of air impacts. The young generation seems to view air impacts as obsolete and don't even bother buying them. Smaller, less vibration and quieter impacting, which impacting on certain things like a loader bucket for example really resinates through a shop and pisses everyone off in the shop, meanwhile the new kids hammering away on it for a minute straight on each bolt with his high torque Milwaukee
Yeah the Milwaukee battery shake is bad. I've had 2 split open already. Granted it took 3-4 years of 5 day a week use for that to happen and I taped them back together and it all still works like a champ.
THANK YOU for showing the twin hammer design in action!! I use the IR 2235TiMAX and have been curious about it's basic hammer function but had no interest in opening it up. Listed at 1,300 ft lb max torque, and 1220 IPM, it is a lightweight beast.
10:40 I remember the first time I experienced an impact wrench. My boss asked me to hold a water pump so he can take a bolt off it. I braced as hard as I could, expecting it to try to wring the pump out my hands. He said "Nah relax, it doesn't work that way" and ugga-dugga'd it off with the impact, with no effort on either of our ends. It was like magic, torques the bolt but not the part or your hands!
The reaction you feel comes from accelerating the hammer through that cam. First only just a little bit, as the spring resists the cam, but then when the motor is up to speed and that hammer is reaching the end of the cam track there'd be quite a bit more reaction as the two impact. Making the cam track longer and shallower can mitigate that by essentially stretching it out through time, but that would also slow down the impact rate of the tool. Either way, the tool will recoil just like a big cannon does. Can't escape conservation of momentum.
Yeah, some air mechanisms are already ball and sprung cam, just sort of work differently 17:34. It would just make less power using a cordless style mechanism though.
Have a good way to see this is with one of those 12-volt cigarette lighter impact guns you can buy that are cheap thay spin up to a high-speed then impact once before spinning up again Low impacts per minute but quite a lot of force
With those spring loaded hammer designs, you have to keep them within their designed RPM. They tend to self destruct if they get over sped. A mechanical spring can only react so fast.

Just a note obviously you will have to balance the hammer so that the device does not try to kill itself before the video ever gets made
The cordless impact is hands down the best tool invented in the last 30 years.

I'd say that forward force induced by the spring is a good thing, if you're driving screws it can help keep the bit in the fastener

inertia from the mass of the object does it, since it can't accelerate very long with the brief impact
Nice explanation and use of high speed camera.
The reaction you feel comes from accelerating the hammer through that cam. First only just a little bit, as the spring resists the cam, but then when the motor is up to speed and that hammer is reaching the end of the cam track there'd be quite a bit more reaction as the two impact.
Making the cam track longer and shallower can mitigate that by essentially stretching it out through time, but that would also slow down the impact rate of the tool. Either way, the tool will recoil just like a big cannon does. Can't escape conservation of momentum.
The power of physics! What engineers put together is amazing
Another awesome video from this highly professional channel. 👍🏼
Fantastic! Thank you for filming this. 👍
What a good video. Top Quality of info and analysis.
Wonderful video.
Congratulations on the high speed camera purchase. Should be able to have fun with that.
Could you make an Frankenstein Impact, Basically Cordless Hammer and Anvil driven by Air ?
Yeah, some air mechanisms are already ball and sprung cam, just sort of work differently 17:34. It would just make less power using a cordless style mechanism though.
After seeing this video, it’s amazing these tools last as long as they do! Those parts take a lot of abuse!
Very clearly explained how this works. Always wondered (and somehow youtube knew!)
Have a good way to see this is with one of those 12-volt cigarette lighter impact guns you can buy that are cheap thay spin up to a high-speed then impact once before spinning up again
Low impacts per minute but quite a lot of force
Good shots and info, Keep it coming, and THANKS!
With those spring loaded hammer designs, you have to keep them within their designed RPM. They tend to self destruct if they get over sped. A mechanical spring can only react so fast.
