Breaking bolts


I'm a little late posting this blog, as I did this project a few ago. I was experimenting with the feel of a bolt as it would yield, to know how it would feel before breaking. The idea is to get the feel so not to torque bolts to the actual breaking point, and would be able to remove said bolt more easily, especially if bolt is in a blind hole.


I torqued this one to just before it's breaking point

This one stripped the threads, we had to cut the nut off
