The Spin Doctor® boom was tested for strength, flexibility and torque by the Engineering Department at South Dakota State University.
The Spin Doctor® boom is made of high strength steel tubing that is of sufficient size and strength that when it tries to bend on the weak axis and then twist it can carry the loads. It has the strength and flexibility to go up to 500 foot pounds of torque and show no signs of yielding with no permanent deformations in any of the parts of the boom.
Additional tests have been conducted with the Spin Doctor® boom using a 4-1 multiplier that pushed the torque rating to over 2,000 foot pounds without showing no signs of failure.
