I have seen a lot of videos on torque wrench s, but this is the best, the most thorough and the most easy to understand thank you so much for taking your time my brother what a godsend you are PS I love the harbor freight mechanic , Nitro,gloves. They are the best, I've ever used
This was a really great, straight forward video! I’ve always been confused how one could know how many ft lbs they’re torquing a bolt to! Thanks for the very thorough explanation and demonstrations, and quizzing us on that wrench reading was fun lol.
Just seeing that ARMSTRONG MADE IN USA inch pound torque wrench means this guy is NO joke, a real heavy deal mech. !!! What brand is the last red digital one ?
I really appreciate you taking the time to show me I'm a single mom and I do my own work on everything even hvac and construction or carpenter things. This is the first time I had to use a torque wrench. Its for my thermostat on my 2008 rav 4. Also my fan isn't working. Any thoughts on that? First this I ALWAYS DO is make sure all the fuses are good. The ones for the heater and fans are big blocks not regular small fuses. How can you tell if those aren't working correctly? I'd REALLY APPRECIATE if you can hook me up with an answer or option, you seem to KNOW YOUR SHIT! I'd absolutely love to hear back even if it's to say I got the question right or not.
Ur fans run off the coolant temp switch, so as long as the coolant is up to proper level..the temp switch tells the computer when to turn on the fans...to check ur fans they should come on while u have the ac running..so if they work there...then that means the fans are in good working order and just aren't receiving signal to turn on..so yea the thermostat should allow coolant to flow and warm the coolant temp switch to signal computer to turn on fans once engine reaches temp....i do got a video on checking the thermostat and how it works..if ud like to check that one out
Those look like good quality tools. Sadly, there are so many garbage brands from China that are causing a lot of damage for a lot of people because they don't "click." Last week, I bought 2 wrenches. One was a smaller, 1/4" torque with 18 to 200 inch pounds. The other one was a 3/8 torque with foot pounds. I wanted to test the smaller one, so I set it to the lowest setting. I tested it on my vise and long story short, NO CLICK AT ALL and it snapped my vise in half! Yup, broke the white metal at the base of the movable jaw. I just returned both as I didn't trust the other one. Good thing too, because when I got home, I looked at the reviews for both. Something that I should have done BEFORE buying this garbage. Sure enough, HUNDREDS of really bad reviews for this exact problem where they don't click and people have sheered off bolts, even in engine blocks!!! OUCH! So now, I don't know what brand to buy and I DO NOT WANT SOME CRAP FROM CHINA! Interestingly too, they all came with a "calibration certificate!" LOL One guy who also bought a couple of these, noticed that these "certificates" were FAKE! They were just photo copies of the exact same 10 year old fake page, with the same date on them. Other people confirmed the same. So this crap coming in from China, as with most of their trash, CAN NOT BE TRUSTED! But how do I even find a good quality 1/4, inch pound one that actually works and made here? WITHOUT being ripped off by over charging. sigh
Well unfortunately i have noticed many torque wrenches when set really low they dont click..cause its so low and no resistance, u only feel the click from the movement of the torque wrench..but yea torque wrench quality is too important, since it can either leave the bolt too loose..or yea snap or damage threads if over torqued...i ended up buying 2 snap on torque wrenches for that reason...cost a lot but i use em too often so for me it was worth the cost
@@backyardchevy328 After my comment, I went searching for more reviews and exactly what you mention in your reply, MANY people are noting as well. Some will click, but not when set low. For me, it's not something I'd use a lot, so i can't justify spending hundreds of dollars on one or two
una pregunta.... cuantas son los newton metros q se le aplican de torque a las culatas de una f-150 año 2010... con motor 5.0cc?? desde ya le agradesco.... sus videos... y saludos desde chile!!!
es dificil...40.67N-m..mas 90 grados a todos los tornillos en orden..y finalmente otros 90 grados...y se necesitan hacer en orden y con nuevos tornillos cada vez
I picked up a torque wrench from Harbor Freight, which was probably my first mistake. It's in inch pounds and each increment is one but when I went from 0 to 0, it went up 120 inch pounds. Doing maths I concluded that each unit wasn't 1 but 12. When you don't use your torque wrench that much it's kind of a pain to have to relearn it every time I use it. To add insult to injury, I really don't think the thing is calibrated all that good. Next time I'll spend a few extra dollars and get a more reliable product.
@@backyardchevy328 I was just using it to tighten my mower blades on, which should match your lug nut suggestion. I set it to 45 lbs min. I set it to the 480 mark and set the dial to 0. I then add 5, which should be 60 inch pounds totaling 540 inch pounds or 45 foot pounds. I gave it a good tightening and it never clicked so I suspect it must not be calibrated or I didn't calculate it correctly. Still, I know it was plenty tight so I think that blade is on there good enough. I've used this in the past to torque down the head of my Craftsman tractor and it did click so my guess something has happened over time. Xmas is coming so maybe it's time to upgrade.
@@SimmeringPotpourri yea definitely seems like something is wrong with that torque wrench..have u tried exchanging it for another..i know they do exchange em without any hassle the times ive had to exchange the one i had
@@backyardchevy328 Really? Well, I've had it for several years but maybe there is a chance they might do that with this one. Thanks for the suggestion.

On a 2/8 drive torque wrench , set at a 177lbs can I see you adjust it
3/8s drive😊
Maybe 2/8=1/4
Those look like good quality tools.

I need to convert 106 inch lb to foot lb on 3/8 pittsburgh torque wrench.
una pregunta.... cuantas son los newton metros q se le aplican de torque a las culatas de una f-150 año 2010... con motor 5.0cc?? desde ya le agradesco.... sus videos... y saludos desde chile!!!
tiene el 5.0l? es edicion especial? que he notado vienen con el 4.6l o el 5.4l
Backyard Chevy tiene motor 5.0..... lariat!!!
el 2010 lariat tiene el 5.4l...quisas en los estados unidos es diferente y tiene el 5.4l en vez del 5.0l
tienes razon.... es 5.4!!!
cuantos newton metros de torque a las culatas??
es dificil...40.67N-m..mas 90 grados a todos los tornillos en orden..y finalmente otros 90 grados...y se necesitan hacer en orden y con nuevos tornillos cada vez
is the answer @3:15 315 inch pounds lol
315 ft lbs? Am I right?
Yes its 315 but its an inch lbs torque wrench..but great job🙂👍
