Hey bro, I'm finally getting my torque wrench.. Plus its on sale this week. Comes with a lifetime warranty. The 3/8 model, is 59.99 and the 1/2 model in 69.99.. I'm going for the 1/2..
This is the one :






Did you get yours yet??

[slowEJ6]

damn, not too shabby, i need to get my hands on one of those suckers.

[Accord Man]

Its an essential thing...

Hey whats up with you and silverhx4me ? I juts noticed something different in your signature..

That looks great JP. Looks very similar to the one I was looking at, but $70 CDN sounds like a steal. I was reading their site, and it doesn't look like they deliver to the US though.

I went to Sears to pick one up and they were out , so I guess I'll try another time. I'm probably going with the 1/2" clicker also, but I'm still slightly concerned that it doesn't go below 20ft.lbs. accurately. Oh well, I'll most likely go for it anyway when the get them back in stock. Should be a week or two. I'd rather wait for them to get one in than pay for shipping since I don't need it right away.

Yeah, that's what I'm having probs with. I think it was BDC who told me to just get a clicker one that went down to around 20 and click down further to get approx. values, but I'm not sure I like that ideal. There is a Craftsman one that does 5-80, but I'd like it to go a little higher.

Does anyone know another brand comparable in price that will go from about 10-100 ft-lbs?

Ditto, cause I think we need around 80 for the wheels..

Glad to see you 2 worked it out too.. Stuff like that can be hard for everyone if you cant work it out.

But I think you need to fix you sig... Shouldnt it say "*Engaged to SilverHX4Me - She fawkin ownz ME*!!

LOL, you bring up a good point..


----------------------------------------------------

Back to the subject? Do you guys use torque wrenches to install plugs? Or you just do it approximately?

I usually barrow a suitable torque wrench..

[slowEJ6]

ok ok, yer right. hehe good point. but im too lazy to change it right now :o

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

JP, did you ever come to a conclusion about the wrench?

[Accord Man]

Ya.. Well I bought the 1/2 model (the on in the pics)..


Seems good.

I cant really tell you much else..


Oh and regarding the spark plugs, most people dont even torque them.. They use another method. Something like this, sit the plug in the slot, screw by hand, and tighten 3.5 turns with spark plug tool.

I just made up the numbers though.. You know waht a spark plug tool is? It's like a T, the bottom is a socket.

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Sounds good then. I'll probably pick up a 1/2" model at Sears next time I need it.
