Not much of a mechanic if he can maintain those nails like that. In 50 years of wrenching, never had to clip my nails unless they were broken off too short.
Your test is inaccurate because, On the first wrench tested 1/2 inch you put one hand one the handle and one on the wrench head correctly while on the 3/8" you put one hand on the handle and the second also on the handle instead of on the wrench head. This will definitely throw off the torque on the second 3/8 wrench because torque wrenches are made for 100% of the trunning force from the handle on the end of the wrench. In other words keep your other hand off the handle though you may put it on the wrench head.
If you had simply used each wrench back-to-back, you would have noticed the same slight movement on the second go. That is why many people will double-click when they use a torque wrench.
Break away torque isnt ever the same though especially when you go smallest to largest thats like putting a pipe on your smallest lever (torque wrench, ratchet etc...) and expecting the same results
I have to dig in a little deeper, when I talked with Aviation mechanics that have to certify their torque wrenches every year they said it to 10 pounds without fail. Personally I think 2 pounds would be fine, it sure beats accidentally leaving it set at 80 pounds. It has been described to me that you don’t want your spring at full tension and you don’t want it completely able to unstretch by having no tension on it at all. If you put any tension back on it it’ll be better than no tension at all or way too much tension. Appreciate your thoughts I’m gonna dig in a little deeper.
the 3/8 moved how much? 1/8 turn.. thats not to bad.. a whole turn pushin toward bad... moved a whole lot is not to techy i would say.. someone tryin to make money off utubs i think
Good point, I was considering getting one for the upper torques, like for instance there 80 foot pounds on the Lugnuts. It sure seems like that half inches been doing pretty good. Just out of curiosity do you prefer the three-quarter inch drive over the half inch drive for any specific tasks. Like I said I’ve been on the fence for picking that one up to. Thanks for pointing that out
The reason I typically use different size torque wrenches is each size Is that each size has a sweet spot of the torque that it is able to more accurately measure. If the bolt you are trying to torque is in a tight spot a smaller torque wrench can also be pretty helpful. I hope this answers your question
Another armchair mechanic spreading misinformation I see. A crows foot or universal extension will change torque value, but a straight extension will not. Here is some knowledge for you, ruclips.net/video/tRR96ILGORU/видео.html
Rubbish, extensions do not increase the throw from the centre of the axis. The socket is still fixed to the center of the axis, so the torque values cannot change
Clip those talons!

Why does the video have your voice and your girls hands?
Will that digital torque adapter go as low as 10ft pounds? Just asking because its states lowest is 27ft pound but saw that you set it to 17. Thanks
Great video man, thanks. 👍👍

cut em or paint em
Why are all the incels so pressed over someone else's fingernails? Grow up and stop bullying.

Great video but the fingernails distracted me ;)
BURN!
what's with the nails dude.....harbor freight sells cheap clippers.....get them!!!!
Nice but hand placement is everything placing hand anywhere to brace the tool instead of the head would throw off reading
I was told to properly store torque wrenches to set them at 1-2 ft/lbs above lowest setting??

I bought one today, manual says lowest setting, no lower
Why does the 3\8 do that?that's kinda .messed up.
Mines not clicking. Should I return?
Yes😮
Couldn't watch to the end.
FINGERNAILS!!! Seriously??
WHY??
@Jeremy Linton you must be gay.... wanna share pics?

You should of torque them with the digital first to twst its accuracy
Dude WHAT is up with the nails. Creepin me out man!
Where's the 3/4 inch drive torque wrench?
Good point, I was considering getting one for the upper torques, like for instance there 80 foot pounds on the Lugnuts. It sure seems like that half inches been doing pretty good. Just out of curiosity do you prefer the three-quarter inch drive over the half inch drive for any specific tasks. Like I said I’ve been on the fence for picking that one up to.

I use the big boy for the large center nut after doing cv joints or hub bearings , the 1/2 inch doesn't have higher ft lbs
Yeaaa I can see that, there’s always that next tool, I just looked it up online they’re about $75. Just out of curiosity which one do you have,
The Pittsburgh one , not sure which model number and this was way before they came out with the icon torque wrench
Why waste your time with a torq wrench when you can just use the adapter with any wrench.
The reason I typically use different size torque wrenches is each size Is that each size has a sweet spot of the torque that it is able to more accurately measure. If the bolt you are trying to torque is in a tight spot a smaller torque wrench can also be pretty helpful. I hope this answers your question
Your readings aren't going to be accurate due to the extensions

@@Reloadeez I was misinformed thanks for the informative video, I've learned something new today
