  • A torque wrench is one of the most useful mechanics tools. Instead of trying to get somebody to tighten a bolt to whatever feels right you can actually have a specification. After a while when you use a torque wrench you might be able to get a good feel on what different Torx are supposed to be from experience. Mission critical applications absolutely require a torque wrench. If you’re working on a head of a vehicle there’s no room for air. If you’re putting on wheels you don’t want the wheels to fall off but you also want to make sure that somebody can get the Lugnuts off if you’re on the side of the road

    Thank you. My brother is a machinist, he used one of these wrenches on a production run. It worked hundreds of times before it broke... then Harbor Freight gave him a new one, no questions asked.

    I got the same wrench but they changed it. I dont even have any settings below 30ftlbs and it was the smallest they had.

    I have a new torque wrench from HF just like you have. The 1st time I used it I couldn't hear a click(37 lbs). I tried it a 2nd time and I could barely hear it. Is that possible for a new wrench.

    I have this wrench and it is pretty difficult to rotate the adjustment sleeve as you go up in torque. Is this normal or do I have a dud?

    • @OttoByOgraffey
      @OttoByOgraffey Год назад +2

      It's normal. Your turning against a torsion spring. The higher you go in torque, the harder it turns.

      Just got one and noticed same thing. Fairly easy to about 110 or 120, then it gets progressively harder. I was just holding the shaft as I turned the collar. If you grab the socket head like he shows in video, you’ll get more torque when turning and getting from 120 to 150 is a lot easier.

    Why is much harder to adjust past 40 ft lbs? I tried to loosen the bolt each turn but it won't budge

      The higher you go the harder it compresses the spring inside. It’s normal.

    I don't understand the "it doesn't click, you just have to feel it" phrase.

      No, you go to the line as indicated on the wrench. Some wrenches may have you go to the number.
