Welcome to this episode of In the Lab with Jason Benford! In today’s episode, our Lab Boss, Jason, is revisiting the socket extension test from our previous episodes. This time, Jason is using a flexible extension to complete a rundown until the extension fails.
Disclaimer: Don’t try this at home. The extension will complete the rundown at a 180º angle.
How do you think the extension will react during this test? Do you think the extension withstand the pressure? Will it be able to complete the tightening at this angle? Keep watching to find out!
