Im still using the one I bought back in the 70's. A Vessel 2500. A must if you work on older motorcycles. After some use, take them apart to inspect, clean and grease. They do take some abuse from that hammer. Sometimes just a little filing is all that is needed. There are several types, the 2 ball bearing type and the rod type, both work well. A cheap tool to have that really works. BTW, Dont waste you money on the Snap On one that can cost you several hundred dollars. Its not any better.
Always fun to think as you are filming. Thanks for the tear down. The function of the cam surface is quite clear. And yes, grease the heck out of everything. These tools are, as you said, great for taking out the stuck screw. There are three things that are happening. 1. The hammer blow against the spring drives the bit into the screw head, making rounding much less likely. 2. The hammer blow also pushes the screw body into the screw hole, in effect bouncing the screw a little bit, causing the thread to release. 3. Of course, there is the short sharp twist of the screw, this is what breaks the corrosion bonds. If you take that apart again, use a vice if you have one to take the load off the pin instead of doing that by hand.
great tool! I use mine all the time to loosen frozen gearcase screws in outboards. i will say i've bought a few over the years, and only one that i still have actually works. still useful without the spring if you hit and turn manually.
Thanks, getting some info. I am going to buy one here to change the bottom end oil on my new outboard, but I will defiantly opt to pay more for a decent quality one. Buying cheap tools always seems to come back to bite me in the butt. There are good "off shore" Chinese tools, you just have to buy them from a reputal tool store and pay more for them.
@@JacoBadenhorst you bet boss, I spent a bit of time disassembling and inspecting the mechanism because I couldn't figure out how to change the direction of twist🤣 I dud it a couple times on accident is how I discovered I could. Keep up with the quality uploads brother🤙
I would not use a hammer on it to tighten screws. You will most likely strip it. HSS drill bits will break if you hammer on them. Honestly I've only used it to loosen up stuck bolts and screws.
My buddy says his snap on impact screwdriver is the biggest waste of money hes ever bought. And hes a snap on fanboy who works on rusty honda brakes all day. He said to go with the nicer harbor freight or a cheaper brand and stay away from these on tool trucks

Funny. I have the exact same hammer. My father gave it to me as well. I am now 64 years old and I still use and cherish my hammer!
Thank you for cutting one apart, I was curious to see how these worked
Glad it helped. I will not go without one.
This is an awesome tool, I use it mainly for tool restoration, the screws on old rusted bench vises are always seized up. Great video Jaco
Thanx for the comment. Much appreciated.

Did he say, "Odd as woodpecker lips?" I love it! Entertaining and a useful lesson on how to fix my tool.
Thanx for the comment. Hope you enjoy the channel.
These work wonders for removing Brake Rotor screws.
The exact job I bought it for first time around.

Thanks worked brilliantly
Glad I could help. And thank you for the comment.

Glad the video helped you out. Best of luck on that outboard. And yes there are some decent offshore tools.
I have the exact same hammer from my Dad ! lol
Thanks a lot man!
If you depress the tip of the toolkit will release the pressure on the ring sleeve and it will slide off with out hitting with a hammer
And that is why they pay you the big bucks! I honestly didn't think of that. Thank you for the comment. Much appreciated.

I wonder if you could quench this part up to harden it, and if that would stop it from wearing up, or would that be too much for the pin?
You probably will be able to. Or I will just weld it up at some stage. The weld will probably be hard enough to create less wear.
What did you say to dip the bit in sir?
Dip The bit in valve lapping compound. The abrasive in it helps the bit to not cam out of the screw.
@@JacoBadenhorst so that is grinding compound too? ok thanks.
Can this be used to tighten screws? Also can it be used to drive a drill bit?
I would not use a hammer on it to tighten screws. You will most likely strip it. HSS drill bits will break if you hammer on them. Honestly I've only used it to loosen up stuck bolts and screws.
CAN YOU MAKE A BREAKER BAR please using this ..because a real one is 80 pound dollar...

If you look at the replacement value of certain "cheaper" options, you can sometimes replace them 10x for the price of the name-brand.
12 Minutes??? u fking serious?
This helped zero. If it breaks I will buy a new one.
True, but if I fix it without it costing me anything, I can buy a different tool of that value. But each to his own I guess.
