Which Serpentine Belt Tool Brand Wins?

as rendered in the transcript, a clear floating point corruption artifact; fifth place at that point in testing

first place with no jaw stretch or damage at all, the best performer in this test

third place at that point in testing

transcript renders '35.496922' which is corrupted; the narrator's own line introducing the ABN says 'the ABN barely edges out the Performance Tool at 35.56 ft-lb,' implying a value just under 35.56, but the exact figure is not reliably recoverable and is flagged rather than asserted

second place; this figure only survives via the closing recap since the raw mid-video introduction for this brand's own test1 number is missing from the transcript

eighth place at that point in testing

transcript renders '2716 ft-lbs' as a run-on integer, likely 27.16 ft-lb given the decimal-mangling pattern seen throughout this transcript, flagged not corrected

described by the narrator as about 2 ft-lb less than the Pittsburgh's 28.74 (the video's own approximate framing, not independently verified arithmetic)

success, two-piece ratchet isn't quite as precise as the ABN but releases belt tension

failed on the Toyota 4Runner, not enough swing space, grouped with Pittsburgh and AllTooetools as insufficient

success, two-piece handle adjusts to provide plenty of access on the Toyota 4Runner

success, adjustable two-piece handle offers ample access on the Toyota 4Runner

success on the Toyota 4Runner but not as efficient as the ABN for maximizing wrench positioning and swing

success but less efficient than a ratcheting wrench, works if you can keep it seated on the socket

failed on the Toyota 4Runner using the ratchet alone (not enough swing space); works with an extra handle attachment, though the 21 tooth mechanism makes it more of a challenge

success, two-piece handle can be adjusted to provide plenty of swing space on the Toyota 4Runner

failed on the Toyota 4Runner, same insufficient range of motion issue as the Pittsburgh

worked fine on a couple of Chevrolets and a Buick, but failed on a Toyota 4Runner, not enough range of motion to release the belt tension

grew by 0.71 mm of jaw damage in the 14 mm Allen socket showdown; no clean torque figure survived in the transcript for this brand at this test

described as first place in the 14 mm Allen socket showdown but the transcript cuts off exactly where the number should be ('so the power built finished in first at'), so the figure itself did not survive; separately the wrench handle failed with about 0.22 mm of jaw stretch

10 ft-lb better than the Pittsburgh, heavy damage and the jaw grew by almost a full millimeter

when the lower jaw broke; the lower jaw piece was never found and the upper jaw also showed damage

transcript renders '9834 ft-lb' right after the narrator says it trailed the ABN (123.4) again in this showdown; likely a dropped decimal for roughly 98.34 ft-lb, flagged not corrected. Jaw stretch of 0.86 mm, described as made of a much softer metal than the ABN

transcript renders '148.16156210 ft-lb,' a floating point corruption artifact, described as barely beating a reference the narrator calls the 'Harbor Freight Warrior.' No brand called Warrior is in this video's product list; Pittsburgh is this video's Harbor Freight entrant and was tested just before this passage at 90.48 ft-lb, so 'Harbor Freight Warrior' most likely refers to Pittsburgh, but the comparison itself does not cleanly resolve given the corrupted number, and is flagged rather than asserted

heavy damage, jaw grew by 0.8 mm

last place in the 14 mm Allen socket showdown, heavy damage, jaw grew by 0.7 mm

wrench snapped

wrench expanded to almost 15 mm, heavy damage

width 6.08 mm, outer diameter 27.3 mm

tightest fit of the field at that point, width 6.6 mm, outer diameter 25.15 mm (smallest yet)

narrow wrench with an average outer diameter

narrow wrench at 5.9 mm width, 26.84 mm outer diameter

width 5.79 mm (more narrow than ICON), outer diameter 26.99 mm

started at 13.17 mm

(transcript renders as a run-on integer; likely 33.11 g given the dropped-decimal pattern seen elsewhere in this transcript, flagged not corrected)

by far the heaviest crowfoot wrench tested

as rendered in the transcript, likely a dropped decimal for roughly 30.44 g given the pattern elsewhere, flagged not corrected

as rendered in the transcript, a clear floating point corruption artifact

(13 mm crowfoot)

drive and ratchet survived at 280 ft-lb

wrench broke but the ratchet mechanism kept working

as rendered in the transcript, likely a dropped decimal for roughly 201.1 ft-lb given every other value in this test clusters between 128 and 280 ft-lb, flagged not corrected; described as not too bad for a budget tool set

drive survived, but the ratchet broke at 240.3 ft-lb

moved into last place in this test

ratchet jumped off the 3/8 in drive on the first attempt with no usable number; on a second attempt it failed at 128 ft-lb

finished just behind the $20 Pittsburgh, another light duty result

failed the same way as the Pittsburgh

transcript renders '1868 ft-lb,' roughly 10x higher than every other brand's result in this same test (which cluster between about 128 and 280 ft-lb), so this looks like a dropped decimal point, but is flagged rather than corrected per the rule against silently fixing a lone 10x outlier

survived the 15 mm socket test at over 277 ft-lb

survived the 15 mm socket test at over 280 ft-lb

ran out of performance at 29.7 ft-lb in the 15 mm socket test, the wrench is described as run

skipped in the 15 mm socket test since the ratchet had already broken; the transcript's '24.3 ft-lb' here is a garbled repeat referencing the earlier 240.3 ft-lb ratchet failure, not a new result

described as the super soft socket and wrench destroying each other

transcript renders '5589 ft-lb,' far outside the 24 to 280 ft-lb range of every other brand in this same test and described as catastrophic ratchet damage from the previous test; flagged as an unreliable figure rather than corrected to any specific value

grew from 13.1 to 13.24 mm, by far the most jaw stretch of the brands tested up to that point

tied for second best per the closing recap

more jaw stretch than the Pittsburgh at that point

grew to 13.224 mm, 0.07 mm of stretch
