.
Kinda surprising results... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDZ8PezMzzY What if you use both at the same time... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iao2HT71kB8 -Kevin

Not surprising that the lock washer case came loose. The washer wasn't completely compressed. He should have done this test with the recommended torque of 31 Ft-Lbs for this type fastener.

Agreed...more torque would have definitely made a difference. The video is far more interesting at 6lbs though! Another issue that stands out is...those nylock nuts I've dealt with required more than 6lbs just to turn so trying to torque them down at such a low value seems inaccurate at best. -Kevin

Re: nylock vs. lock washer...which is best?
I actually posted that as a comment in the video when I first saw it. It's impossible to test a fastener's holding power unless it's properly torqued.
