Continue doing shop and minor job work and most importantly of all use stuff you design and want to design (But if you can't get info from people that use the stuff). Those two things will completely change how you can design something. Because knowing how something is made and used from personal experience and work stories, allows you to truly know what can be done to make a good product. Because a lot of engineers now are just lab engineers who know the science of the stuff, but don't ahev the in field experience from using the items and making them.

One thing you will learn later in you education is head loss with a pipe. This is something for you AvE as well. There are some simple equations for loss in a pipe. using basically a K factor for the tees and elbow joints as well as different shapes of openings. The loss equation for a length of hose/tubing (Colebrook equation) based on interior roughness, size, and Reynolds number (Pressure, viscosity , etc.). Its an iterative equation that would be easier to build a program or run through matlab.

The mechanism of the earthquake requires more torque to compress the spring, because the spring has to move the whole hammer. The Snap-on springs only move the pins, which have lower inertia. Therefore the Snap-on springs have a lower stiffness. This means, that the torque during the charge of the hammer blow is larger for the earthquake. This alone could make it "win" the competition during the down times, even if the the peak-torque were lower. Furthermore the earthquake spring also creates rotational acceleration when the hammer is released (via the ramp that compressed it). This means, that the energy from the compressed spring now adds to the torque applied from the motor during the acceleration phase for the impact energy. This means, that the power of the motor is used more continuously, since the energy of the phase before release of the hammer is also used and stored in the spring. This happens twice per rotation. The Snap-On on the other hand has very little energy storage in the springs and this energy is transferred at an angle where high friction is a problem (probably one of the reasons for oil instead of grease). This leads to lower torque before release, but this lower torque also means lower power output of the engine, and therefore less accumulated energy. On the other hand. the Snap-On strikes once per rotation, so the acceleration phase is longer, and the engine power of a full rotation is used for the strike energy (but remember the phase before release has low power). TLDR: The earthquake uses the power of the engine more efficiently, but spreads it out over twice as many strikes, and requires higher resting torque. The Snap-On draws highly fluctuating power from the engine, which is less efficient, and requires a more robust engine design, but it concentrates the energy on one single strike per revolution. The direct coupling test measures the average energy, and therefore for similar motors the efficiency, so the earthquake wins, but it does not measure peak torque.

Sorry I thought of the Makita Mechanism. Even worse, I thought the snap-on has the hilti mechanism. Both, Earthquake and Snap-On, use the same mechanism combining the disadvantages of both other systems (two strikes, and low energy storage). So the difference can come from three sources: - Higher base torque leads to a win during the phases between the strikes (grease instead of oil) - The spring (gas in the pneumatic motor) is harder due to the smaller volume, and lower speed of rotation. - The flow may be better

Was just about to say this. Torque's only equation is force x Distance. I can increase torque with same power by simply increasing the length. As well it matters how much of the mass is also on the outside. I can have a heavy motor and the mass be more centered vs the other with less mass but it is more outward creating higher torque.

I'm going to say the difference at the shaft is none near existent. The lever is only gained near the shaft....The air pushes on the rotor....a smaller diameter shaft and larger vanes would equate to more air pushing NEAR the shaft and a VERY small torque advantage. More airflow would take away from the pressure at the tip right???? Think about that The old Snapon has a 12% longer vane...that means 12% longer vanes to include the vane TIP...where most of the torque is generated...leverage=torque. A smaller shaft would equate to more airflow, but at maximum 1/4 inch (I seriously doubt that) there is no serious torque to be had at 120PSI....Certainly NOT 12%. If the torque is the same it will be because of the screen or some other airflow restriction unknown

I'm left somewhat underwhelmed by the outcome of this VJO, because I felt the results were less than definitive and in the end the corn-clusion seemed more informed by personal bias than something we clearly saw from the test. I'd like to see a re-run of the head-2-head with the tee fed at the center by the compressor, and equal length lines (ideally the same line size, material, and vendor) from the tee to either gun. Yeah, you'll lose some available pressure under full chooch from the air turning 90 degrees in the tee, but it ought to be closer to equal handicap provided to both guns and neither one should be just starved for air. While the Strap-on looks and feels made more like a real professional tool (and real pros run far away from any product labeled "pro" because that's just there to gussy up a consumer grade tool from a consumer grade manufacturer) I think we need to see another hack at some definitive results. Just me sayin'.

Snap-On might be following Ford's approach to V8's in their old Panther body cars. Big V8, down-rate it towards 4-cylinder territory. And then it lasts forever, because you'd be hard pressed to break it under normal use. Which is why cab fleets loved those things. So Snap-On may have snuck a bottle-neck in there even though all the mechanicals say it has plenty of room to do better. Other one does all it can to punch its weight in the numbers game, but don't expect it to last half as long. And again what you said about the market it serves sounds spot-on.

AvE's mind is blown When Earthquake takes the crown Extra rubber hose length Reduces the strength Of impacts farther on down This is why an impact tool on a longer (or coily) air hose sucks buttermilk compared to the same tool on a short, stout hard rubber air hose: it allows expansion space in the line between impacts and causes reduced pressure in the air supply.

I know long after the original post, but want to clarify a point of logic vs math. F = (0.5 * m * v^2) ÷ d Don't get me wrong, I'd take my Snap-on any day of the week, but you answered your own question while you were posing it. "The hammers are smaller". This means the hammers will turn faster, and will travel a shorter distance before impacting. This produces far more impact force than the heavier hammers as they're both given the same amount of driving force (air pressure) When considering impact force, velocity is far more important than mass (velocity gets squared, mass is at base value). This comes up all the time with swords. People think a big two handed sword strikes much harder than a one handed roman gladius (And could even cut a person in half in a single swing!) when in fact the two handed sword is all about reach, and the short one handed gladius can actually strike *much* harder because it's lighter and as such can be accelerated much more quickly. (Neither could cut a person in half with a single swing). So yes, I can fully believe the cheaper impact could strike just as hard (maybe not harder, due to the power loss from increased friction on worse tolerances), with the very statement "the hammers are smaller". You might ask "well if that was the case, why not just use really tiny hammers"? Because it's about the driving force. Once the hammers get up to the expansion rate of the air pushing them, they're maxing the velocity. So it's really about acceleration. If the heavier hammers could accelerate to the same velocity before impacting them the heavier hammer would win. However they're not reaching the expansion rate of the air. This is one of the ways impacts control power, changing the hammer weight. the most powerful impact would have hammers weights balanced to reach peak velocity just before impact. tldr: bigger hammers are more durable, lighter hammers strike harder.

When you buy a new snap on air impact, the rep will tell you that all snap on air tools require high flow air fittings and hoses for optimal performance. My PT850 is an air hog... and it is by no means the hardest hitting impact on the market. But it's fast, light, and well balanced.

I bought an earthquake 1/2” composite (exact same gun in this video). Note; they make a non-composite gun. I’ve worked at ditchwitch, done emergency road service, and currently work at a performance diesel shop. WHEN NEW, the earthquake is a hard hitter. No other 1/2” gun using the same shop air on the same air hose was as fast or as powerful;snap on, Mac, IR, aircat. But, let me tell you, the earthquake is now 1 year old give or take; and it’s gotten to the point I reach for my ratchet before I grab the gun. I oil it about 1-2 time per week. But it’s been dropped, dragged, and been stored in extremely dusty environments. I wish it was as serviceable as the other guns so I could clean it, maby do some polishing, porting, to the internals of the gun. This is my first hand, unbiased review of the earthquake in the field.

I've been waiting for it to die for several decades, but it wont die. I don't lube it very often either. I've never had it apart. It's made the way tools used to be made.

a thing to note on some of the older impact guns is that they were designed for larger diameter air hoses and fittings for maximum power because they were intended for professionals, but in doing so alienated the mom and pop garages that couldn't push enough cfm to really run them as intended, they eventually realized this after people complaining they didn't have any power and went back to designing them to work with standard airlines.

There is a point to that debate about new vs old. The new flashy guns on the snap-on truck that stops weekly at the shop are made in china, mostly. Some of their stuff is still made in america though they're pulling that stamp from just about all their tools at this point. I've talked with the snap-op guy about what he hears from other shops and overall, they still do the job well, we'll see in 15 years where they're at, but for now they hit harder than the old ones. Do I buy only snap-on, no, I have a wide range of tools from the snapon to harbor freight, let me tell you as a professional in the field with years of experience, snap on is worth the money every time (or MAC, Matco, etc.). But thats only once you have the income, I'll tell anyone that buying $30K to get started is just stupid. You're better off starting out with whatever variety you get. I started out with mostly craftsman, now their spread out among my 'pro' brands and I think the craftsman hand tools are just as good for MOST things as the snap-on. I'm talking box wrenches, breaker bars, ratchets vs the new snapons not the old ones. Spending 2K and getting a large set of craftsman tools, some steelman or ingersol air tools and one of those 30" harbor freight boxes is the best money spent for any new mechanic (Diesel excluded, there you really do have to go all or nothing). Over time you can spend 300 a week or so on new snap on tools to phase out the others, or hell, keep two sets of some things. I have 6 different 3/8ths drive ratchets in my box, you never know which one will fit the exact bill.

I will say this though. I used to work for a company that sold snap on products. I wouldn’t be so sure that these aren’t tools that are made in China or some other foreign country. The reason I say this is because we would get shipments of freight, usually hydrologic floor jacks, from god knows where. We would unload them, then take them out of the box and remove the label and slap a snap on label on them. I’m not sure about the legality of all of this, but after we put the snap on label on, we could put a “made in the USA” label on the box. Just something to think about when you buy “American made goods”

I will tell you if you are going to tote an impact gun around all day the polymer ones are nice simply because of reduced weight. Now sometimes you might need to knock a nut into low earth orbit and in that case you might want something different. I have the "stubby" Matco polymer gun and it is not quite as powerful as the big arse aluminum snap-off BUT when using in an automotive shop (with properly torqued lug nuts/bots etc..) the itty bitty Matco stubby bastard is like carrying a fart in the breeze as compared to toting the boat anchor, what for docking the colly. lol

I have no data to back this up, but it may be that the Earthquake is getting those smaller hammers moving faster per chugga to impart more energy per blow. Energy being proportional to mass times velocity squared, you can sacrifice some mass if it gets you more speed. That being said, I have one of those Earthquakes and I'm going to take it apart to chamfer all those gnarly edges.

Don't fall for the SNAP ON bias here personal experience has taught me that Snap On leases their name to other companies to use on their products pretty sad marketing scheme. I went to go get my return on my warranty from Snap On guess what they directed me to another company which never honored their return policy just a total waste of money and time. So what happens when you spend all that hard earned money and you find out Snap On let another company use its name on their products and that company does not honor the warranty commitment ? You don't always get what you pay for brand loyalty is a thing of the past really the truth is the company is going to make the same amount of money if they sell you either product. Snap On is not all they are chalked up to be it is a race to the bottom everywhere people selling their name their foundation to other companies is pitiful. Not having the balls to honor a warranty is pretty sad as well! I will never pay for another over priced Snap On product unless I find it cheap and in good shape used at a widows garage sale. Fool me once that is enough! Forget your dick in a vice keep your money in your wallet buy the Earthquake thats my final reccomendation! The claims may be slightly fabricated and I am glad you go through a fair amount of trouble attempting to show this but... It really don't seem as bad in this case as say the hercules crap drill and under capacity battery that was a good smooozing of the consumer. This one errrrr.... not so much.

I am pretty sure that the the IM5100 was only rated at 600 ft/lbs. I had one for years, and traded up to the newer MG725 a while back. That is rated much higher than the IM5100. I could be mistaken, but I know it was not rated at nearly 1000 ft/lbs. I got it because it was Snap On's first twin hammer impact gun. It was heavy, especially compared to the IR composite guns, but it still worked fine when I traded it in 3 years ago. My MG is definitely a much stronger gun than my IM5100 was, at least torque wise. I have had that one 3 years without a hitch.
