Make sure he doesn't overstep his mark... Crush his toes for him hahaha
Next time: put an empty balloon inside the boot, inflate it so it fills the shoe and sticks out just a bit. This will show how much volume we are losing on the tip....
I think I used to have that when I was deployed in Iraq it allowed me to get around their government sensorship bs

I know I sound like a fucking advert, but whatever do you own research.
Try a single spike in the center of the toe cap. The spikes because of the angle on that part of the cap.
Keep in mind safety shoes are designed for quick impacts to save your foot - like dropping something really heavy. Not continuous pressure. That's why people lose their toes if they try to drive a forklift over them, as the shoes are designed for impact, not load.
Maybe new try with Smahinator 5 000 000 ;)
These tests would only be suitable to determine whether there was a difference in the load resistance capacities but all of footwear will have had to passed tests and standards to even be on the shelves for sale.
A more suitable test would be the Smashinator 5,000,000 on all footwear to see which survives the best!
EDIT: Just realised the above comment appeared once I'd refreshed my browser but we've all reached the same conclusion regarding impact testing and not load testing.
That would be because even a small forklift weighs around 3-4 tonnes without a load, and if you try and drive it over something most of that will come down on the offending wheel - and on a very small point to boot (pun intended).
Now, a small car should go right on over as long as it's slow - but I'm not volunteering to put my foot in that boot.
Impact gives much larger force than load........ You are partly right.
nothing kayo yes, but over a much shorter time period as the energy is dissipated around the cap into the soles.
Puts 76,000 kg of force
“That gonna hurt”
76,000 kg is a mass, not a force.
Weight/Force is 76000 × 9.8 (m × g)

Make sure Lilo doesn't decide to place her foot on a hydraulic press.😜
It's not surprising both safety boots took the same load. If Finland is anything like Canada, both boots will be made to the same legal safety standards and there's no great marketing advantage to making them any stronger, so they won't.
Yep I think there is somekind of standards for the impact strength for the shoes. The bottom was still harder on expensive ones but it might be that the cheap ones didn't have all the ratings that expensive ones have.
Try standing all day, every day in cheap boots!
@@HydraulicPressChannel ISO 20345 - 200 joule impact rating for toe caps. Unsurprisingly, 2000kgf-cm is about 200 joules.
Oh, and 15kN compression - that's about 1500kg. I'm not sure how far they're allowed to move under that load, possibly not at all.
All safety footwear sold in the EU must meet the requirements of ISO 20345 - so in terms of basic safety they're all equivalent. In terms of getting my fat size 12 feet in them (that's a 47 for you), definitely not all the same!
Similar for the US, the old standard is ANSI Z-41, but since 2005, they adopted ATSM F 2412 and F 2413 to merge into international standards as well, to tie back into being made for a legal performance standard.
ya.. usually the cost comes from other stuff like brand, comfort, isolation, waterproof, chemical proof, electricity proof, chainsaw protection etc..
Safety test idea for beyond the press: Test how well cheap vs. expensive eye protection works against sharpnell. You already have done the spinning stuff untill it breaks. Use the same rig, mount grinding discs on it and put the eye protections around it.
Hey Janne Ranta! Better to use a pneumatic cannon for more even impacts! Ride ride ride!

Its called Composite toe, made from strong non-metal materials
They are good for two things, being no good, and good for nothing.
@@dannymckenzie8329 composite stronger, better in cold, easily recover foot when crushed.

The safest safety boot is the one you actually wear
In other words, comfort is a safety factor
@@csours Well said! The expensive ones are so comfortable that I don't even have regular boots and I wear them really often even on my free time.
@@HydraulicPressChannel And I thought I was a weirdo for doing that! Thanks for validating my choice in footwear.
I walk on my safety boots all day. Dont even own regular shoes anymore. Thanks boss!
Truth. Been doing this since I got my pair of polymer safety boots in 2012. Best investment you can make, and you don't have to be doing hard hat work on a construction site to justify wearing them in office settings!
This really takes the “safety” out of “safety shoes”.
I was surprised how well they protected against spikenator 5 000 000 ;D
So they're just shoes?
@@naranciaisbestboi125 I dont know if you watched the same video as i did, but the cap held over 1000kg of weight. Try that with normal shoes...
Well nothing would hit it that hard, so no.
Daily F Word youve never worked around industrial equipment, or on a construction site. Thats as much as a car weighs, people have their foot ran over ALL THE TIME.

I'm friend of Wario
Lauri: "Steel or aluminimum? I think, I have to take magnet and test." Half second later we can see "the magnet". I think Finnish language is weird assigning word "magnet" to an angle grinder.
I’ve got a suggestion that may help keep the spikes from bending as easily. Add a second floating plate, similar to the base plate, above the the item you’re going to smash. This floating plate will give the spikes horizontal support. If one spike deflects, the plate will transfer the load over all the spikes instead of just one. And since it’s floating, it’ll just slide upward not interfering with the downward pressure. Anyway, just a small suggestion.
Thats a really good idea
Also make them shorter.
would be hard to keep it from racking
@@metallicman711 yeah they would rack eventually, every tool has limitations.
Simple yet effective. Good thinking
I hate work-safety shoes.
None of them saved me from doing my work yet...

Just wait til you drop 100 lbs on ur foot then you’ll appreciate them
keith hylton Whooosh.
my safety shoes saved my foot from rotor blade that we are carrying.. :D
im a framer and my labourer dropped a sheet of floor plywood on its edge on my foot (60lbs) by accident while i was wearing skate shoes. my big toe exploded and i lost my entire big toe nail. Took 3 years to grow back and was off of work for a week. I still dont always wear steels but the last year i found a really good looking pair of steel toe skate shoes so im getting better now

*Captain here* yes they use plastic because metal ones actually do more damage if it get crushed and doesnt bounce back, when plastic ones bounce back till a certain point... and if it does get crush you dont have metal in your foot. also is lighter, so yeah, similar reasons why also they don't make metal helmets.
That's a really good point - I never thought of that. Plastic is more ... plastic; stretchy, less likely to tear, and recovers its shape - so you can get your foot out.
If something manages to crush the toe, composite or steel you're fucked either way and unless you work with 2 ton objects fairly often it doesn't matter because not a lot of things will affect it
Plastic ones are also way more convenient if you work at a place where you have to pass the security metal detection a lot
Also preferable for electricians, because electricity and steel are better friends than electricity and plastic.
Thank you captain
The expensive ones have composite plastic inside that is more expensive and lighter while being rated to the same safety standard, which makes the shoe easier to live with, which encourages people to use it!
There's also another reason why composite materials are used. It's pretty difficult to get (what's left of) your foot out of a piece of crushed steel. It's significantly easier with plastic.
Expect Composite isn't as strong as steel or alloy. I'd prefer alloy because it's more lighter than steel.
Also composite boots is not picked up by a metal detector installed by paranoid employers lol 😉
In cold weather the composite material doesn't freeze your toes
@@scottN1980 ah thats why my feet are not as cold as they once were working in a cold warehouse. Never thought of that before 🤔

In my experience, composite safety boots are much more comfortable than steel-toe in extreme temperatures.
I think you are right since I use those expensive ones as my winter boots and they are completely ok even on -25c weather
and not to mention it also much lighter than steel toe cap. it also required to use a composite one in working area with high risk of magnetic force.
Zahran Fawwaz it is preferred here too as we work around high voltage electricity.
metal holds up better to piercing objects tho. my winter boots are metal and i love them but jesus are they bulky and heavy
The better ones are made out of plastic because if they fail and crush your toes they will bend back to free your crushed toes, where the steel ones just eat up your toes and they will have to be amputated (if they weren't already)
If you’ve ever been in situations where you need protective shoes (as I have), you really appreciate tests like this to find out what really happens when push comes to shove. Keep up the good work! 👍
The plastic one is made out of a material called composite, it resists just the same because both are ment to meet the same regulatory requirements! Composite shoes are lighter and that's why more expensive safety shoes use it ✌️
My slightly expensive shoes [175AUD] are composite including the arch - the distinct advantage of that is Airports [at least domestically, in Australia] - I don't have to take my shoes off.
So almost ironically, for visits to sites I fly in my Safety-Shoes.
Kevlar ist not only lighter, but it doesn`t lead temperature so easily too. You feel the difference f.e. during logging in the winter very effective.

Tommy Wisseau: "Oh hi Mark!"
haven't looked at this channel for about 2 years :D Glad things never changed at all, even the eppik intro music
Another benefit to the plastic cap is it will not conduct heat as quickly as the metal. So working outside in the cold while wearing the plastic cap will keep your feet warmer.
The expensive boots are pretty good on cold, I just used my current ones on one day when it was -25c and I was able to work outside for many hours with out any problems.
They're used in metal detector areas and also on railway around third rail areas or areas of explosion dangers so no sparks can happen
Also works other way. In case of hot environment of case of activity related heat exposure it won't conduct heat to the feet. Walking on hot freshly heated surfaces, being around hot machinery etc. Many safety shoes include heat resistant soles and other heat related safety features in addition to kinetic protection. So using non metallic nose cap and nail protector makes sense for that also. Frankly for longest time metal was used not for optimal performance, but because it was the only thing that worked at all. Plus cost. However if one finds another way it is more optimal, since metals have many bad sides for PPE use. Heat, electricity, weight and so on.
And they are lighter than the steel ones.
The plastic cap is polyamide.
Way nicer to wear
Also with plastic toe when impacted will bounce back there steel will stay crushed and you will loose toes
Easier for medics to get boot off if toes are not crushed under a steel toe
I will never wear actual steel toes
Composite toes are much safer
Imagine if your foot was in there getting crushed. Still not as bad as stepping on a Lego.
Or a 3 pin electric plug with the pins sticking upwards. Lol. Well unless you have safety boots on. 👢😂

I wonder what the maximum tow-bar and roof-rack loading of a Subaru is?... ;-)
I know this is somewhat of a joke but I actually have a bit of info. For a BRZ, about 150lbs for the roof, and 1500lbs towing, all hardware included for both. Don't ask how I know lol. Also it's recommended against in the documentation and whatnot.
But I'd say that any other model is probably at least as much as the BRZ if not more. And this is in the US where they severely under-rate stuff for 'safety.'

I wonder if whitebikes.com would like the opportunity to show how much tougher their frames are than a chinese 1020 frame?
I had a feeling they would be the same. I guess for the more expensive ones, in my experience, you are paying for durability and comfort and other features over the cheaper ones. When i was younger i would buy cheap safety boots, but soon learnt that paying for more expensive ones were better for my feet, and wallet. Never cheap out on safety shoes imo.
My first pair of cheap safety shoes broke me in. Now I get comfortable ones that are easy to get in and out of, and water proof too.
i just love it when youre trying to avoid seeing the trailer for endgame and the out of the blue comes a trailer before the video that you cant skip
Safety shoes are rated to certain classes. In Europe you can buy any rated shoe without concerns.
Well, safety has a different meaning for HPC/BTP as determined by the safety inspector and engineering expert. Ballistics and projectiles protocols are politely followed, but it's the stuff people overlook like the life-threatening stumble or scratch that we must be reminded to be careful. Remember, these are professionals. Because they get paid to do this.
You mean Nelli the safety inspector?
@@Bob3D2000 Exactly.

Welcome to the hoodrolic press channel!
I'd be interested in seeing what the composite ones can do
It would be interesting to see the difference between composite and steel toed safety boots
Crush different blocks of hardwood. What's the toughest tree!
It should just follow the density eg, Ebony is nearly 10 times denser than balsa and much harder.
cedarstripkayak.wordpress.com/lumber-selection/162-2/
Tis will be interesting
Live Oak here in The States is nearly as hard as Ebony.
What surprised me is that some of those on that list are denser than water - they'd sink.
The second test with the sharp pins looks like something from the Saw movies. Imagine your face in there!
the composite is not only lighter but doesnt get as cold in lower temperatures
Would be very interested to see any tests you did with COFRA work boots.
Great use of the hydraulic press, very cool to see!
8:41 Holy sheet
Don't forget that having steel inside the shoe will definitely mess up your feet a lot more than the plastic if the shoe were to fail. For this reason the more expensive option is safer in case it breaks.
there's diffence between when something drops on your boot, or something pressed on your boot.
I love Annie's laugh when they show the steel cap on the one with the plastic one
You want plastic tips in your shoe.
Because metal deforms trapping your toe. Even after the thing that did the crushing is gone.

Safety shoes could be made better by also having a steel strap below the toes and extending the steel to the sole on the sides to give the steel something to stand on. Reinforcing the back edge and top ridge while adding an angle that points forward and a slick top so you slip out of a crushing load are also good ideas. ~one engineer
They are tho' .
At least mine are like this ... they are steel inside and out . I had them x rayed in an airport and they are steel up and below. Nails , glass , stretchers ambulance has rolled over me . My toes are intact.

A lot of newer "steel toes" are using composite or fiberglass protectors, so in the event you do have a crush accident, they might be able to get your foot out without 100% amputation
