Thread: Measuring impact gun torque?

You need to keep the system as simple and compact as possible so that the power of the impulse isn't lost to forms of work other than rotary, I'd try
A big bolt, say M10 with a significant unthreaded length.
A block of nylon the length of the unthreaded portion of the bolt with a 10mm hole through.
Slit one side to allow the hole to open up and close down.
Stick it in a vice and with very short blasts on the impact gun (to avoid generating too much heat) tighten up until you can't move the bolt head then test with a torque wrench.
A better test might be to start from locked and back off until the first signs of movement and then test with a torque wrench.
