    A safety margin of two tons for a scissor jack designed to jack up only one corner of domestic cars weighing about two tons in total is an excellent safety margin.

      @simonm1447 6 лет назад +148

      That's true, but all jacks had generous safety margins despite all seems to be cheap models from China. It's good to know even the cheap ones won't break if you don't exceed the maximum capacity.

      Scissor jacks are the most sensitive to not being on a smooth, level surface though, a bit of an angle massively reduces it's stability and strength which isn't really ideal when stuck on the side of the road.

      They are not included to work under cars but to take the wheels off. You are not supposed to use any jack to work under cars and manufacturers are not going to include axle stands to be stowed in the boot of the car.

    For non-building applications I think a margin of safety of 2 is pretty standard (buildings are usually higher), so I wouldn’t call the jacks particularly unsafe on that front. The floor jack is probably actually the safest of the hydraulics because it’s less likely to kick out.
    That said, it’s ALWAYS dangerous to go under a car supported only by a jack. You should always block the wheels and use jack stands!

    • @MinimalistMotoLife
      @MinimalistMotoLife 6 лет назад +4

      Yup it's all about using some common sense, bottle jacks and Hi-lifts catch a lot of flack for being "unsafe" but they are only as unsafe as the operator.

    It's not so much the weight capacity of the jacks that concerns me. It's their horizontal stability. Bottle jacks have really small bases, so they can just tip over super easily. Hydraulic floor jacks have casters that let them roll forward as the vehicle lifts, so the jack can shift its position without tipping over.

      clayton masters oh is that so? You read where I said up-armored, right? So then you’re aware that a fully uparmor, M1151 with bravo inserts has a curb weight of about 10,500 lbs? Thats over 5 tons. Even the basic 1151 comes in at almost 4 tons. You ever driven an up armor HMMWV? It’s a lead sled. Even with a turbo it feels like you’re trying to pull a battleship out of the lake on s trailer. Throw in a TC, two dismounts, a gunner, a 30-80lb gun, gun turret (another half-3/4 ton, plus 800-1200 rounds of 7.62 or .50 BMG and you’re up over your gross maximum vehicle weight.

      @@djw1091994 Because safety margins are there to account for the imperfections of reality, lots of variables like slightly uneven surface, vehicle pushing in a certain direction a bit rather than all the weight pushing directly downwards, these things reduce the maximum weight the jack will be safe to hold in those conditions compared to the weight it would be able to hold in a lab conditions test like this so while you might think "but 4 tons is almost enough to hold a military vehicle, surely that's way more than enough for the 2 tons it's rated for" I think you'll find that if you used it in reality it would fail with a weight less than that 4 tons measured here, that's why it's a safety margin and not an actual recommended load rating.

    The bottle jack failed because the cylinder does not have a pressure relief valve. It is instead design so that the pump has a pressure relief valve. If the pump is at maximum pressure, the relief valve in the pump will stop the fluid for going to the cylinder. It will get pumped back to the reservoir instead.

    This is very interesting. I always assumed that these lifting devices had a safety margin of 3:1, not 2:1. So this is a real eye opener, especially for me; I’m a military mechanic. The tools that we use are much much heavier than these though, which is good because we trust our lives to the equipment we use to lift vehicles and their components quite often.

    My theory: the safety valve in a bottle jack kicks in when you pump it, so if the vehicle is too heavy, you can't lift it in the first place. After it's lifted, in case something happens to increase the weight, the relief valve is no longer active; that jack will hold it up until the metal fails because there's no point in lowering a truck on your head to prevent it from being dropped.

      I hate to burst your life completing presumption, but the first failure mode was actually the pin compressing the metal of the jack metal. If you look closely, right before pin failure, you see a significant bearing failure of the material in the jack. The pin failure is the secondary failure mode. Still, you can take comfort in the fact that he said it would be the last to break and it was not.

      It’s not quite the same as “who”. It’s more like French u, German ü, or Koine Greek Y. Like a combination of oo and ee at the same time. It’s actually a very good approximation of the Greek, which is where the word Hydraulic comes from (Greek hydor, hydr-, water).

    This may be the best video you ever did! I love seeing how thinks will fail under extreme use. Cutting decks of cards looks nice but it doesn't actually teach me anything.
    Thank you for the content!
