RidingAgain Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 At harbor Freight today... Last day... It's a bit on the large side, but works for some applications...

Chief Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 This one is more useful for bike work. I have one of these and it works fine. https://www.harborfreight.com/14-in-Drive-Click-Type-Torque-Wrench-61277.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_papa_nuts Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I just got the 1/4" drive and 3/8" drive ones last Friday for $9.99 each, plus a 24 pack of batteries for free. I was kinda saving up for some nicer ones but I did some research and it seems the HF wrenches seem to be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep meaning to do that with mine, but I would just be checking it against my other HF electronic torque adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anita Handle Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I actually don't have a crazy expensive one and I do need to calibrate it. How do you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I brought mine to our QA lab at work where they certify all of our production tools. They have a machine they attached it too that will test every 10ft/lb and then print a receipt showing how it did. My Snap-On I inherited from my DOT mechanic grandpa was perfect until it got below 40ft-lbs and even then it was only off 2-3ftlbs. Considering its rated 50-200ft-lbs and that its 40-45 years old at this point I'm happy. You can do your own "Super Scientific" experiment at home: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
