1/2" drive click torque wrench

Works great. Is consistent with itself, HF torque sticks, and another cheap torque wrench I have, and fasteners have expected clamping strength after torquing.

1/2" drive torque-limiting extensions (aka torque sticks)

Works great, consistent with other tools as described above.

I think my current 1/2" went up to 200...might have to settle for that one though...price is fair...minus 20% coop

**theholycow** · 03-12-2013, 06:27 PM

You can often get it for $10.

Wish I could find one that goes over 150 ft-lb that doesn't cost too much. Replaced hub bearing in my truck and can't torque to 173 because I can't find anybody with an appropriate torque wrench. Even checked with a few garages...I don't think anybody in this part of the country other than me bothers with torque wrenches, maybe because everything is going to get rust-welded anyway.

I needed something with 220ish when I removed the crank pulley. Might wait till its $10 too, no immediate need for it atm

For a few years I went through hubs almost as often as I went through gas. I read up on it and supposedly getting the torque wrong means they fail quickly. GM changed the torque spec due to premature failures. All that makes me want to get it right...

shootermcgavin003 · 03-13-2013, 05:03 PM

ive replaced both but it was alot of miles ago
