Quick question tho. What are the dash marks between each number?

@halkael2317 2 жыл бұрын

As far as I know, the reason there is a left and right torque option… is because there is a left and right tightening thread. They are not meant to loosen bolts, only to tighten them.

@Jfjs58-g Жыл бұрын

Right, so what is the difference for the wrench when you’re tightening a left thread or loosening a right thread bolt? So far no one could come up with a good reason for why it shouldn’t be used for that and people who never turned a wrench in their life just spread internet myths. Force is applied to the bolt regardless of what you’re trying to do so as long as you don’t exceed the maximum strength of the wrench I don’t see any reason how one could damage anything by loosening bolts with a torque wrench.

@derrickokeefe1718 Жыл бұрын

@georgebtro the reason you don't use a torque wrench as as a breaker bar is for the reason you provided. Yes force or torque is applied wether tightening or breaking but as someone who's job it is to "turn a wrench" you have absolutely no idea how much torque it would take to break a bolt/nut especially if you didn't touch it prior. There are some threads that through actions self tighten. While you could always set the wrench to max just use a breaker bar. That's what's for and much cheaper than a torque wrench. I'd rather snap my 25$ 25" breaker bar than my 125$ 20" torque wrench.

The reason some torque wrenches go both ways is to torque left or right hand threads. A lot of older vehicles had directional lug nuts on the left and right sides.

Very thorough instructional video on how to set the DeWalt Torque Wrench (No.DWMT75462). I just purchased the DeWalt Tire Change Kit (No.DWMT17107) which includes this exact DeWalt Torque Wrench and before I read the instructions on the proper use of it, I decided to find a video to watch first, then read the instructions included with the kit. Your video is spot on and makes it simple to understand. I’ve never owned a torque wrench, but have needed one for years when rotating my tires. So, I finally bought one. The kit I bought was such a better deal than just buying the torque wrench itself. The breaker bar along with the five metric deep well sockets and very sturdy case for it all is a very good value. And yes, never use a torque wrench for breaking fasteners loose, that’s what a “breaker” bar is used for. The torque wrench is an instrument to measure torque with.

Nice clear video, just showing my son because you know it doesn’t happen if KZfaq doesn’t have a video on it. Just one quick point. Torque wrenches aren’t for breaking nuts and bolts free, they to tighten in both directions, right hand threads and left hand threads. Using it to break a bolt free will at best knock it out of calibration, at worst damage it

When using NM does it matter where the fine adjuster thing is? I put it on 0 on the NM side and it stripped the thread. Is it because it was too much on the FP side and does the FP side have to be on 0 to have the correct torque on the NM side?

This is the way I have been setting my torque wrench. But after reading a very long post on Reddit, seems there are two ways to interpret the scale. People claiming to be metrologist who calibrates instruments for a living, people claiming to be aircraft mechanics or nuclear submarine mechanics, and they cannot agree on the correct method!! In fact most people are saying that the bottom of the range marked by 100 is actually 90, and 100 is right opposite the digits of 100. Very confusing!
