Strength testing Hastings link sticks at the factory

 

We stopped by the Hastings Fiber Glass Products factory in Hastings Michigan to see how the sausage gets made. Along the way, we got a sneak peak at how standard link sticks are tested; not just for dielectric properties, but for pure holding strength. Each link stick gets hit with 5000 pounds of pressure during testing to ensure quality. Watch the video to see it in action!
