STEELMAN
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about STEELMAN from 3G Electric.
What is the load capacity of STEELMAN steel top sawhorses?
STEELMAN steel top sawhorses in the 3G Electric catalog have load capacities of 800 lb and 1,100 lb. The 1,100 lb models include SKU 45ND39, which has a 47-inch overall width and a fixed height. The 800 lb model, SKU 45ND38, has a 25-inch overall width and includes plated material support pegs. Capacity varies by model, so check the individual product specification before ordering. All units have a powder-coated steel frame and a fold-up body for portability.
How do STEELMAN torque limiting extensions prevent over-torquing?
STEELMAN torque limiting extensions are designed to be used with impact wrenches. They have a specified working torque—such as 80 ft-lb, 175 ft-lb, 475 ft-lb, or 550 ft-lb—and are color-coded for identification. When the impact wrench reaches the extension's rated torque, the extension absorbs the excess torque and prevents it from being transferred to the fastener. This helps avoid over-tightening, which can damage threads or stretch fasteners. The extensions are made from alloy steel and are available in 1/2 in, 3/4 in, and 1 in drive sizes.
What sizes of STEELMAN torque limiting extensions does 3G Electric carry?
3G Electric stocks STEELMAN torque limiting extensions in 1/2 in, 3/4 in, and 1 in drive sizes. Working torque ratings include 80 ft-lb (1/2 in, blue), 175 ft-lb (3/4 in, orange), 475 ft-lb (1 in, yellow), and 550 ft-lb (1 in, black). A 5-piece set of 1/2 in drive extensions is also available, which includes an 8 in blue 80 ft-lb extension. Each extension is made from alloy steel and has a finish color that corresponds to its torque rating for quick identification.
Are STEELMAN folding sawhorses adjustable in height?
Some STEELMAN folding sawhorses are adjustable, while others have a fixed height. The adjustable model, SKU 45ND40, uses a push-button height adjustment mechanism. It has a steel top, a powder-coated frame, and a fold-up body. The fixed-height models, such as SKU 45ND39 and SKU 45ND38, do not have height adjustment. All models are partially assembled and include a material arm. Check the individual product page for specific height ranges and features.
What is included with STEELMAN sawhorses when shipped?
STEELMAN sawhorses in the 3G Electric catalog are shipped partially assembled. They include a material arm, and some models also include a handle and plated material support pegs. The fold-up body allows the sawhorse to be collapsed for transport or storage. No tools are included for assembly unless specified. For exact contents, refer to the individual SKU description. 3G Electric provides logistics support and can assist with order fulfillment for multiple units.
Can STEELMAN torque limiting extensions be used with any impact wrench?
STEELMAN torque limiting extensions are designed for use with impact wrenches that have the matching drive size. For example, a 1/2 in drive extension requires a 1/2 in impact wrench. The working torque of the extension should be selected based on the target torque for the fastener. Using an extension with a lower torque rating than the wrench's output may cause the extension to absorb torque and prevent proper tightening. Always match the extension's drive size and torque rating to the application. These extensions are not intended for use with hand tools or breaker bars.
