Just got a to-150, identical to the one used. Quickly learned to use the bottom area of the head to be able to turn the knob higher and to also lower it until the tension has decreased and the handle easier to turn. After watching your video, especially after reading the tool's paper instructions, it has become very clear how to use the wrench properly and what NOT to do to have it around a while. The other styles of torque wrenches were fascinating, glad to know there is a variety and what is recommended for the different areas of a vehicle. Thank you.

I have torqued a lot of lugs (I am old) but this is a great video and I finally learned how to do it right. Thanks for taking the time tp make this training video.
Very good video !! you explained very well, just to make sure , your stating, for click type torque wrench, Rule of thumb would be stop at first click sound, is this correct ? I see other guys double clicking on other videos, so the extra click is actually adding more a few foot pounds more torque than what was necessary ?
How/where do I get my wrench 'professionally calibrated'? I have been wanting to it myself with weights and a vise but have not yet. Also what about using extensions with a torque wrench?
Just got a new torque wrench and I was wondering what to you do if it doesn't zero out exactly on the horizontal line. Mine is just off and is on the horizontal of 28 nm when the dial is at 7. Do I just take the seven as zero, or is there a way to adjust it?
For the 3/8” torque wrench for brakes. When torquing the rotor bracket and calipers would the length of the torque wrench fit inside the wheel hub to be able to tighten them? Just wondering cause of the length of the wrench and the room size inside to tighten. Thankyou kindly.
HELP!!! Which torque wrench do I need to use to do Spark plugs on a Toyota Camry 2009 4 cylinder? 1/2" 1/4" or 3/8"??? I need to torque 14 foot pounds..... Can I use a 3/8"?

+Mike Serna Meter is a unit of length. A Newton metre is a unit of force (the amount of force necessary to torque a nut or bolt to the correct amount of pressure)
Sadly, poor technique was demonstrated in this video. You should never stop short of the click and then restart as was done at least once here. The fastener should be snugged enough so that final torque can be achieved in one smooth motion with no interruption in motion.

Give this man his own RUclips education channel. I learned more from this video than 11 other torque wrench videos.

Just got my first click style torque wrench! Man you seriously have to have great grip strength to adjust the wrench. Any tips with adjusting it?

Great Video always great educational videos
Are there any bolts or nuts that could be torqued not to spec?
Very interesting, thanks! I've seen some digital wrenches, are they any good?
Yes they are good! I have a digital one .
I have just bought a 3/8 drive torque wrench and not sure if it's the write one to tighten axle front nuts an struts
Great video but where do you go to get your torque wrench calibrated?
I didn't know about the triangles. I would always go in a star or hexagram pattern.
What type of sockets metric or standard
How do you remove the extension?
Sorry but I'm having problems and hard time to click on how to correct the torque wrench newton meters help thank you
How can I know if my wrench is calibrated ?
Thanks for a great video. Lots of information.

what is the difference between newton meters & meters
+Mike Serna Meter is a unit of length. A Newton metre is a unit of force (the amount of force necessary to torque a nut or bolt to the correct amount of pressure)
Meyer is length/distance and Newton meter or Nm is the unit of torque. Torque is distance(m) multiplied by the force(N)
Sadly, poor technique was demonstrated in this video. You should never stop short of the click and then restart as was done at least once here. The fastener should be snugged enough so that final torque can be achieved in one smooth motion with no interruption in motion.
