Meet the 12 new crew members ready to test their strength, endurance, life skills and mental toughness on the new season of TOUGH AS NAILS. In the first individual challenge of the season, competitors will cut, grind and torch 500 pounds of scrap metal. The first to finish the job earn the privilege of choosing their teammates for Dirty Hands and Savage Crew.

In the individual challenge crew members are under "a ton" of pressure when tasked with designing and welding a structure that can withstand the crushing force of 1 ton of weight.
