I just purchased the product “Digital Torque Wrench 60648” My wrench came with a single adjustable head (the smaller one) In the manual the following text appears: Applied torque at setpoint = Entered Torque Setting * • For ratchet head 1 • For adjustable head 0.782 • For large adjustable head 0.75 This text is very ambiguous and raises a few questions: 1. Do I have to adjust my set value by a factor of 0.782 (i.e. if I want 25 N-m do I need to set 25 * 0.782 = 19.55 on the digital display) 2. Or was the wrench calibrated using the adjustable head it came with such that the displayed torque value is the actual torque value at the head. 3. If I later purchase the ratchet head or the large adjustable head do I need to calculate the torque setting using the factors described above? 4. If I change heads is there a way to tell the wrench which head is installed such that the wrench calculates the correct torque using those factors? I just used a quinn 3/8 drive digital torque adapter to test this and it does appear that 10 ft-lbs on the quinn lands close to 7.8 ft-lbs on the yellow jacket.
Amen ! Do it right. I’ve also cracked a few flairs in the past. It’s like adding refrigerant to “ beer can cold”, you don’t know what’s really happening in the system. Thought: do the British add to “ beer can cold” since they like their beer warm ?
I mean… I don’t use torque wrench while torquing.. I have used torque wrench previously for 3 years.. I install without them now and never had problems.. I already know the feeling of when it’s good to go.. again.. I know how it works.. never had issues.. tested and proven by myself.. just saying..
Need to mention we only use qaulity copper, no shitty copper with 0,7 or 0,8mm wall thickness. 1.0mm is the standard for 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in our company while the most companies here in Europe use 0.8
It seems funny because I come from an automotive background for childhood growing up with a torque wrench in my hand that adults have to be taught that a torque wrench is necessary.
Excellent Video !!! Is the
“Yellow-Jacket” digital torque wrench 🔧 a better choice than CPS Black Max or HILMOR or NAVAC ???

How to store the torque for later uses
Does Nylog change the torque specs?
I would think so and this actually did have NYLOG on it. But I guess just adding a little oil on the flare would change the specs as well?
John pastorello eluded to the fact that you should use the low limit of the torque spec with nylog I believe?
👍

I also never use torque wrenches on flares, no leakages at all.

Exactly. You DON'T need a torque wrench if you know what you're doing. I've done literally thousands of flares and have never had a leak.
👍👍👍
Cool toy!🤔
Read the directions, wasn’t there any pictures? 🤪
Do over. I didn’t see any nylon! Now the TXV’s going to fail
I actually did have some on there...It may be on another video soon

HVAC is late to the party I guess
