Wow super interesting test! Now the more I think about this, the more it makes sense. The elastic modulus of the steel beam can’t really change overtime. Even work hardening, or tempering doesn’t change the modulus. Those only change the yield point but since we are using the elastic region, that is irrelevant. Meanwhile, many variables can affect the click torque overtime. I’m getting myself some beam style torque wrenches RN!
Amazing! I've always had the thought in the back of my mind saying, "I hope my torque wrench is correct." Now I am really wondering! It goes to show that they don't make things like they used to. Very cool video!
This was a super cool and informative video. The fact that you picked up the torque tester tool to make this video is pretty wild. I really enjoyed this 🎉
Loved this test! I have Craftsman in Ft. Lb's and inch lb. in beam style that are over 40 years old. Also have a Thorson in a case I bought for $5 at an estate sale. They are the best. Also have click style for the tight areas. I have used the beam style on plastic intakes and magnesium/aluminum VW engines for years.
Wow, as a kid, 15 yrs old I've bought a cheap Torque wrench, that old style at Pep Boys, back in '78. I've recently thrown it away,, (about 5 yrs ago), bought myself 3 different (1/4"-3/8"-& a 1/2" China Freight) torque wrench set....... I guess I should've never thrown it away?
Hey man... up till a few weeks ago I kept that old one mostly for decoration. Now I'll be using it regularly. Also... I hope to calibrate that Tekton myself. No one around here offers calibration services.
@@JasonExplainsThings Yeah, I've seen one of those OLD STYLE, from a buddy of mine who's died a couple of years ago...... I sort of "Laughed",,,,,,,, I think that I'll ask his wife, if I may have it....
I wouldn't worry about it. If you're using it between 75-200 ft-lb then it's likely doing the job well. I again only use it when I need the leverage from a wrench that long. Probably the lowest torque I go with it is 85 ft-lb. I was more surprised by the Tekton. It needs to be calibrated ASAP.

I ordered 2! One 3/8” drive that does 0-50 and a longer 1/2” that goes to 150 ft-lb. Glad you enjoyed it Kai! I was not expecting it to do so well.
I use so many old tools, and they work great.
Yeah I was genuinely shocked. I had the old Indestro in the shop mostly for nostalgia/decoration. And now it's going to work. 🙂

I just ordered an Indestro torque wrench from ebay. Lol!

Thanks buddy!
Great content, as usual!
Thanks for your support buddy!

I own a set of Ford wrench's for my 9n I love all 6 of them and yes with a torque wrench and those wrenches you can rebuild anything on it.👍👍
Very interesting. I would like to see another video adding extensions to the torque wrench to see if that makes a change.
Used a beam style as a DYIer for +20 years. Only switched last year to click style. The beam getting hard to hold and read without glasses on now.
Makes a great breaker bar

I'm surprised by the results of the Icon as well, that takes away the warm and fuzzy feeling from when I bought mine :(

The click torque wrench names ended with 'N' for 'Not accurate'?
