That's wild! So it's measuring based on how far the neck of the wrench is bending under stress! I was trying to figure out how the heck these old school torque wrenches work, but now I get it. Thanks! Didn't realize they bent that much
Great information. I'm torquing the rear axle shaft nuts to a Model T Ford this afternoon, and I wanted to make sure I had it all straight. Beautiful torque wrench by the way. German made Elora tools are some of the best in the world.
I have worked in a calibration lab. The early digital torque wrenches were crap and and we failed 50% of them. The mechanical were then most common with 10% of them suffering from an out of scale condition when the spring fails from fatigue. Of the few beams we received, they were all good to go. Good simple video!
Some people don’t realize how important a torque wrench is, especially on things like spark plugs. 18 foot pounds torque On your average four-cylinder engine, any less and it could cause a misfire. Many problems arise from misfires from improperly installed spark plugs. This torque wrench is pretty accurate, I use one every day. Good video, easy to understand.
The beam torque wrench was invented by Walter Percy Chrysler. What do you think the NASA engineers used on the Apollo 11? Clicks hadn't been invented yet. People who talk against beams don't really know anything about torque, but rather they just ate up all the corporate propaganda being spread by snap-on and friends, who want to sell you a $300 wrench that does the same job as a $20 wrench. BTW, beams never need to be re-calibrated. WW2 was won using machines torqued with beams. Think about it.
Not 2 mention use ing some of those piece of s click style straight out of the box brand new will make u fu.k every thing up because it is not accurate
Yeah, and today's Florida national guard could decimate the entire US military from world war II, and the cell phone that I'm carrying has more computing power than the NASA program had in the 60s
Thanks for sharing this info. Used click type torque wrenches mostly but I just realized I also had this beam type torque wrench laying in storage but just had no idea how to use it. It's good to have choices when you have it with accuracy in mind.
Thanks for the video I just bought a wrench like this yesterday and need to change the head gasket on my 66cc bike motor but I wasn't to sure on how to use this since I am a computer tech learning to fix this motor has be fun so going ot change the gasket then going for a ride. lol
I have this type of torque wrench in storage because I had no idea how to use it--until I found one of these DIY videos. Gotta look for it now and put it to use as purposed! Thanks.
Just bought a 1/2" beam style torque wrench. I have all the other wrenches and sockets I need, but a torque wrench is new to me. Expensive click, electronic or professional grade wrenches are all fine and good for those who use them frequently, but all I need to do is torque four bolts on a 2" trailer hitch on my vehicle. Thank you for the quick tutorial.
I like these style torque wrenches, because most use measurements they show both pounds and Newton meters. Plus, you can feel the tightness more than a click style torque wrench
Click type torque wrenches are not better. They may be easier to use when you're working on an engine that's still in the car or truck because you don't have to look at a scale on the end of the wrench. If you're working on something easy to get around a beam or needle type torque wrench is just as good. You also don't need to recalibrate the beam type every year and you don't have to worry about "backing them up" after each use. Neither wrench is better than the other. One is more expensive than the other and one needs regular testing and recalibrating but they both work fine.
You don't tighten to achive "pressure". You torque a screw to achieve a desired preload in th screw. The preload (a force) is inferred from the torque value read from the scale on the tool.
I just found out the hard way that not torquing down my transmission pan bolts, let's all of the expensive atf+4 fluid to leak out. So I get to do it again. Round #1, is 80 ft pounds, then round #2 is 120ft pounds around again. It just seem like I was going to strip them out, or twist the heads off. And because one of the bolts was a 13mm. And there all sapos to be 10mm. Thanks for showing me. I've got the same one you do..
my dad bought a beam torque wrench in the seventies for doing a head gasket change on his car and ive still got it as some parts on bicycles have to be torqued up the torque wrench still works ok its a bit battered and bruised with age but its an ivaluable tool to have especially for tightening the nut on cotterless cranks which can work loose if not tightened properly
I prefer the Click style Torque wrench. Easier and more accurate. Can't tell if I'm really accurate with these... The lines on my Deflecting B. W. are by increments of 10 ft-lbs (10, 20, 30, 40, etc)...
Nomon Munir - These type of torque wrench can not be calibrated. If the needle is off you have to pull the beam it in the opposite direction and hope it falls back to "0". Some have a plastic pointer on the end that you twist to to set it to zero. Now "Click Type" you usually have it calibrated if it falls or you use it every day, but for the "Weekend Mechanic" just reset it back to Zero and it usually doesn't need professional calibration.
why you dont even tech how those no. works, there are two places of numbers on that torque, yes you show the torque number 30, what about the other numbers, what those numbers are? u'r video is incomplete
Do you want us to listen to the horrible background music OR your instruction on how to use a torque wrench? Trying to listen to you while that 70's TV theme music is playing in the background is extremely annoying, and thus, I moved on to find a better video.....
what a waste of time, if you have ever tried to hold tension and look at reading on scale you know why you use a click wrench, maybe click is to technical for some people

It's a good video..it would be better without the loud music
WHAT DID YOU SAY?

I have one of these old style wrenches and a modern "clicker". I find myself using and trusting the old school wrench far more often!

+wcjcnc ,great info guy.
I'm looking at a Craftsman 1/2-in. Dr. Beam Style Torque Wrench, 0-150 ft. lbs. do you think it's a good one?
T, Skipwadoo Igot one for 7bucks, it works
i buy beam torque wenches as Christmas gifts but put the wrong specs on them for people i don't like
You don't tighten to achive "pressure". You torque a screw to achieve a desired preload in th screw. The preload (a force) is inferred from the torque value read from the scale on the tool.
Very helpful.. I am used to click torque wrench and i was just assuming that maybe, it might work like this but now you confirmed it nicely. Thanks

the music ruins video
my beam torque wrench does not move the needle any way to fix it thanks

I tried using this for my lug nuts but it looked like the needle didn't move. Does that make sense?
Well said.
about $13.
I'm here for the music ..don't care about wrenches
I've always liked beam torques more than the click ones...
how do you use that beam style torque wrench with extensions?
These type are the most accurate no?
I bought one from oreilys it had no manual its got a scale on it how do you unlock it
what if my beam torque wrench is not set at zero when not using? How do I fix it?
I think you bend it back the other way until it reaches zero. You kind of "zero" it out.
@Norm Booker it is not Pounds per Sq In. Torque is in Ft Lbs or Newton/Meters not PSI.
Wrong. A torque is expressed as ft-lb, N-m etc. A force acting at a distance.
Las medidas son libras o Newton?
Cannot think of a single reason to have music in the background while someone's talking.
Especially 1970s porn music
anyway, this is tube torque wrench type that will give the most lowest torque for small bolts. nobody can get away from this.
how often do you have to calibrate?
Nomon Munir - These type of torque wrench can not be calibrated. If the needle is off you have to pull the beam it in the opposite direction and hope it falls back to "0".

Lose the old timey porn music and it's a fine video
I like porn music
A good beam torque wrench is actually most trustworthy.
No music please 😢
Peice?
This is the best good old boy, jep you just watch your spike, (keep looking (at that spike))
why you dont even tech how those no. works, there are two places of numbers on that torque, yes you show the torque number 30, what about the other numbers, what those numbers are? u'r video is incomplete
When I was kid i thought that was a scales xd
Caint hear your video with all that music.
Just figured it out duh! Lol
Dirty lbs of toakk
This demo was laughable. That's 'pounds per square inch' bloke. This video was done to advertise what's in the background.
Torque isn't measured in psi. It's measured in inch/pounds, foot/pounds, newton meters.
@@johncall4525 Wrong. inch-pounds, foot-pounds, etc. Force acting at a distance.
looks hard
видеооператор не очень
videographer not very good
Get rid of the stupid music for god sake ! Why keep the music playing ? 🤣🤣🤣... I got to 30seconds the i looked for a better video
I AGREE MARKVARK 1 A PEICE OF GARBAGE
Do you want us to listen to the horrible background music OR your instruction on how to use a torque wrench? Trying to listen to you while that 70's TV theme music is playing in the background is extremely annoying, and thus, I moved on to find a better video.....
you need to learn how to shoot video first
what a waste of time, if you have ever tried to hold tension and look at reading on scale you know why you use a click wrench, maybe click is to technical for some people
Worked fine in the old days. I doubt you're any more skilled than they were.
