jpmmkrahling Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 This was my first attempt with the 1/4" x 7" stainless square. I have never bent a stainless square before so i do not have anything to compare it to, but when i tried to crush it, it snapped in half. I can only assume that it is a brittle batch of stainless. I just got it from FBBC about a week ago. Has anyone else had this happen with this batch? It was just a good feeling to just destroy it, brittle or not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pWLkP-jV9Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumpster Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 That's the first I've heard of SS square snapping. Good thing it happened on the crush. It's still a good bend...well under 2" between the ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpmmkrahling Posted April 20, 2009 Author Share Posted April 20, 2009 Nice bending Mike.Be carefull bro you dont want one of those in the neck? Must be a day for snapping i just snapped my head harness. If we wanted to be careful, we would not be bending steel. But thank you for the advise. I just do not want to worry about something like getting stabbed in the neck deter me from bending harder stuff. Like you always say, this is a mind game and i need to keep thoughts of caution out of my mind if i am going to get better snapped head harness, wow. That must have ben some seroius weight, is everything okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy. it is crazy, i'm really need to do another from the same batch to have something to compare it to. As much as i would like to think i am getting stronger, it is probably a brittle batch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
