CaptainCraig4 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Just been to my local hardware store and got two types of nails 6 inch steel nail x 150mm 5.6 inch steel nail x 125mm Please tell me which one would take more force to bend ! Many Thanks Edited February 13, 2016 by CaptainCraig4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJM Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Not an expert but i think you made an mistake with measurements. 150mm is bit under 6 inches. Or perhaps you are trolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, these measurements don't really make any sense: 6" x 5.91" and 5.6" x 4.92".....You would need a hydraulic press to bend those pieces! If he added an extra 0 by accident to the "thickness in mm's" and I were to assume he might have meant 15 and 12.5 mm's respectively...those pieces of steel are still basically unbendable. Perhaps he'll chime in when he finds the correct measurements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks depends on the steel. but put either in a press and they will bend. with those measurements, no human could bend that steel, so it doesnt really matter whats harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either put both in inches or both in metric. Edited February 13, 2016 by climber511 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
