@@motorhomeman1949 I know that, and you know that, but the guy drinking while doing stuff like this would say "it's only illegal if you get caught" or something of that nature. 🤣 I've worked with several of those people. 😬
I'm impressed with that chain!! As a flatbedder, I've seen what happens when a chain fails when under that much pressure - you do NOT want to be ANYWHERE around it!!
Something tells me the tube is more rusted than it even appears on video. Probably not as much tension as your experience is telling you it should have.
Ah yes. Lucky me we have TWO of those guys in the small company I work for. I swear just me and the other guy with imagination and ingenuity used to complete just as many jobs as we do nowadays with a 10 employee company. Some people just ain’t got it.
My guess as to how this didn't fail is, the reach tube is mild steel while that hook they used was hardened steel. The hook also had a relatively sharp inner edge, and they started the cut with a torch. Mild steel splits in a tearing fashion, and every time that hook cut a little more, the split continued down the tube just ahead of the hook. The additional pressure of the hook being pressed into the reach tube channel's top section helped to separate the steel as it "tore." And, yes, from everyone's concern, that chain had a high probability of snapping. Luckily, industrial-strength chains are very strong and can resist quite a few thousand PSI of tension. I'd wager the winch would have failed before the chain.
I was at a trailer shop today with what I thought was an impossible task. Was sitting in my truck when I heard the mechanic say something along the lines of "It's not easy being this awesome" and when I looked outside he had done it. Turned what looked like being shut down until Monday to rolling out of there in under 3 hours.
Mechanics can make a lot more.You just have to work for the right person, usually yourself. An operator is stuck working for some one else, unless you own a company. Then you're not really an operator, are you.
The genius of these fixes shouldn’t be understated but always is. Some professionals love to overcomplicate things. This is an example of understanding a few things very well, having hands on experience with the subjects, and using what you have on hand (power/weight) to get the job done in a practical (inexpensive) way. Love to see it!
@@rileymannion5301 you can pull with a chain as long as you keep it tight like what they're doing here. The problem comes when people yank on them like it's a kinetic rope. Also a rope or cable or even a kinetic rope can still kill you when it or the anchor breaks.
@rileymannion5301 What should have been used? If a chain snaps under pressure then aren't the pieces going to go straight in the direction that they are being pulled?

Remember to stay 1 and 1/2 tines the chains length away when putting tension on it, whether your doing something like this, or trying to pull a piece of equipment out, if it were to snap or rip through, you could be in a world of hurt

@@bcary461 Chains don't stretch elastically and store energy like a cable or a rope. If it breaks, there's little potential energy in them to suddenly convert into kinetic energy.

The water isn't compressible so if the tank ruptures under high pressure it doesn't go boom like it would if filled with compressed gas, it just dribbles.
“ When they break, they just fall down. ” No they don’t. There’s a reason the machine to pull test them for certification comes with a fold down metal guard.

Set one up at 45 degrees and kept pouring diesel with used motor oil down the tunnel and a week later we finally got the reach out , wasn't pretty but worked along with lots of hammer action too.
Chain links have a tendency to drop rather than spring like a snatch strap. Hence their use as drag chains or anything that requires high tension without elasticity.

The amount of times my dad has said “in theory…” while we were trying to make do with what we had ended up teaching me a lot. Now when I have a problem, my brain immediately starts looking around for an object that would work as a tool for what I need
Gotta love it when a plan comes together.
Now, that is a man who can think on his feet. Well done, Sir.
I love stuff like this, it’s never too late to learn something. Not all engineers need a degree. 😊
I love men who shower AFTER work! They’re so flippin smart in common sense, practical, ingenious, problem-solving ways! They sure don’t teach that in schools! Priceless! Great video gents!
As a Male, I speak for most of us, as I say THANK You kindly.
@@amrak5028 you are most welcome! God bless and keep you safe!

I've never heard blue collar work described like that tgats a good on
Artificial Intelligence could never be as creative a genius as this
That’s because the current iteration of what we call AI, is not really AI
As soon as i saw the suspenders, i knew whatever he was about to say was gonna work.
Smart man. He knew it would slide under the other section, and crimp the square tube in as its cutting through, causing the walls to collapse inward and unseizing it. A+ problem solving going on here.
Some very serious amount of tention on them chains. I wouldn't stand real close.
I don’t think I would’ve liked being on the other end of that chain but I’m impressed it worked so well
Dude nailed it. Sick job. Theory proven solid AF.
This man can teach a class on getting shit done.
That had every variable to go incredibly wrong, but the odds were defied.
I love the “ air Quotes “!
I often use them myself from time to time 😉👍
That’s pretty damn slick!!😆
I’ll admit I didn’t think it would work. Thought the chain would break. 👍👍
I think this guy confuse theory with common sense. Very smart guy. I’m very happy for him .
Set one up at 45 degrees and kept pouring diesel with used motor oil down the tunnel and a week later we finally got the reach out , wasn't pretty but worked along with lots of hammer action too.
I was thinking that is going to take a lot of pb blaster.
Diesel + used motor oil. Old-school wood siding stain.
Bruh when he says back the fuck up you better listen. He knows.
As soon as the hook made it thru the tunnel, the tube broke loose. Amazing.
That'd absolutely genius 😂 love it!
This is surprisingly therapeutic. With enough equipment and thinking outside the box
With enough brute force too!.
Don’t ya just love it when the damn thing does what you thought it would? God bless you and your success brother
I like how he hooked it from the inside making it perfectly straight
Wow. Awesome that worked. I’ve come up with a few of those “this might work” ideas.
I'm actually surprised it worked, but I'm more surprised the chain didn't break and split someone in half.
Chain links have a tendency to drop rather than spring like a snatch strap. Hence their use as drag chains or anything that requires high tension without elasticity.
