Friction Ring Replaced

Steve shows you the correct way to replace the friction ring or ‘hog ring’ on an impact wrench. A new set of rings will help retain sockets so they don’t fall off while in use.

All your videos have been rad so far, keep it up brother!

[@ToolDemos]

That’s really awesome to see, thank you.

[@512Chaos]

I've never seen anybody put a ring on, its usually the first thing removed.

[@tonytooltime5373]

Didn't you already make this video!? 🔨👍😁👍🔧

[@ToolDemos]

Yup, you spotted it Tony. I’m experimenting with RUclips shorts to see if people respond better to that format.

[@kdtxtooldad]

@@ToolDemos I did the same thing with my little shorts yesterday with the truck edc Tool bags

[@ToolDemos]

@@kdtxtooldad it’s pretty crazy the way shorts work. My channel is really small, but today the shorts got over 70k views.

[@shepherdsfleetservicesllc8147]

Never seen it done before

[@kdtxtooldad]

Side note, so where do we get the replacement kits, are they all the same?

[@ToolDemos]

I got this kit from Astro Pneumatic, but it’s pretty generic. Generic kits fit almost everything. I know Snap On uses a proprietary size ring, so you gotta get one from them if your impact has their logo on the side.

[@goldentrucker7921]

What tool did you use to push it down?

[@ToolDemos]

It’s a soft rubber spark plug installer:

[@PowerStrokeJude]

Was that a spark plug starter tool? I like ball detent more than hog rings

[@ToolDemos]

Sure was. Good eye.

[@CPthetooladdict]

I have a secret lol

[@ToolDemos]

Surprised Mac didn’t make you sign an NDA. Lol

[@dillanbro7796]

You can 100% use a semi tire and probably any car tire to put that ring back on just for the record

[@ToolDemos]

Good idea

[@BigDipper79]

WhT? How the F do you use a tire to put that small ring on? Are you on drugs?😂

[@MiguelMartinez-hm1hg]

When they begin to use a Oring under the retainer ring

[@ToolDemos]

Good question. I don’t know.

[@piscitellinicholas5240]

I kind of like Them wore out

[@ToolDemos]

Yeah, broke in but not super loose.

[@joevespa3157]

Those anvil's get worn

[@ToolDemos]

Yeah, Astro will sell a rebuild kit for it.
