Sorry, also forgot to mention that I'll never buy another Craftsman tool. I had my fight with them last year and found out first hand what they think of their customers. Personally I don't see Sears bein in business for much longer either. Lot a business analyst are startin to say the same thing.

My old 30 dollar cheap bin wrench worked great till my dumb azz brother left it at 100 ft lbs. It was only 5 ft lbs off at 100 till he streached the spring.

Good point - for those that dont know - always reset a torque wrench to zero after you use it.

S&K
End of story... ![]() SK Hand Tool 74456 1/2" Dr. Micrometer Flexible Head Torque Wrench, 250 ft. lbs (1 ft. lb.) I know its close to what you call too much but some things you cant skimp on. All teh cheap Harbor Freight, NAPA, Advance, ect ones are junk. they dont stay calibrated and the last thing you want to do is over or under torque something vital. Or use teh german tq method.... gudentigt.... ![]() After teh S&K I would go K-D http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/p-25...ools-3461.aspx And if your looking for farm use too a 3/4" wrench should be on your list, some times 250 ft/lbs just wont cut it on that big crap. And its a bitch to pull 200+ multiple times on a 1/2" wrench. Kinda short for that much pull. Last edited by RSWORDS; 11-08-2009 at 11:29 AM.. |

5 ft/lbs at 100 is not good.. A good quality one is 2%... Which would be 2 ft/lbs at 100... How did you know it was out that much? You have a machine?
