ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for testing the strength of the sidewalls of hollow tubular members such as for example metal utility poles is disclosed. The present invention provides a self-contained mechanically actuated testing device which is operable to subject a pole to be tested to a concentrated impact force of a predetermined magnitude, the magnitude being selected such that the impacting portion of the tool will penetrate the sidewall if the strength thereof has diminished below an acceptable level.
