| Jul 25, 2016 at 19:58 | comment | added | anderas | @isherwood I just read on a climbing hold manufacturer's site that the final torque should be on the order of 35-45 Nm, while the maximum "active" torque of the drill is 30Nm. So the difference shouldn't be too large, at least for smaller holds. | |

| Jul 25, 2016 at 18:24 | comment | added | Rory Alsop | I'd be impressed if you could. How much torque do you think you can create? I have really yanked these things, and in a much better propped position than halfway up a wall. | |
| Jul 25, 2016 at 18:16 | comment | added | isherwood | I'm just not convinced about your claim. The lock may indeed be strong enough, but split-housing drill chassis tend to begin to deform under that much stress. I'm not that big of a person and I believe I could crack (or at least deform) a typical drill case. | |
