🔬 Craftsmanship & Material Standards
Training tools are constructed from 301 hardened stainless steel / heat-treated alloy steel with 45–55 HRC hardness for torsional rigidity during repeated practice. The hexagonal drive shaft architecture follows torque-transfer principles referenced in ANSI/BHMA A156.5 industry standards. Alloy steel meets ASTM A276 specifications with ≥600 MPa tensile strength, resisting deformation during regular training use.
