Buckshot12 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Is there anywhere in Halifax that has a inch-pound torque wrench? like a digital one or preferable beam style? I cant find one anywhere. Ordered a beam style one off amazon and it said inch pound but when i got it was a foot pound... Ughh. Need one so i can test my pinion nut to spec Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sar4x4 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Don't they often talk about a dial gauge for measuring rotating pinion torque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you're right they do for preload, but I cant find one of those either...well not for under $250 I suspect the seasoned builders do it by feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerram Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 OK, thought about what you were saying, take your specification from the book and divide it by 12 to have a goal for your ft/lb torque wrench. I am always using dial torque wrenches or beam so I do the math as the needle moves, wasn't thinking of presetting a click wrench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightpath Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Keep your eyes on Canadian Tire. They had a sale on Stanley and MC brands over the past month or 2, and definitely a sweet price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i do believe they are on sale now for like 50% off, so that's a plus i guess haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the lifetime warranties, have had to use them for a couple of things. 1 year only sucks! May have to re-think some purchases! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just looked online, and yep, my torque wrench only has a 1 year warranty. I see the Dewalt ones have a lifetime exchange though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, both of my TQ wrenches are lifetime (3/8" & 1/2"). I've had them for a while. I'll have to keep an eye on that for their socket sets & other tools in the future though.

They are phasing out a lot of their old stuff, I am sure their lifetime warranty kills their profits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
