Used to have a 'good' 3/4" torque wrench, but loaned it to a church friend and
he dropped it...his wife made him pay for after he refused to after finding out
how much it cost me
Didn't use it that much anymore, so no longer have one. Will make an extension
for my 250 ft/lb 1/2" drive torque wrench...if you have the mind and tooling in
your workshop. It will have a 3/4" at the socket end and 1/2" at the
torque wrench end
Any OEM production will fire any worker who does NOT use a properly dialed in
torque wrench. Especially ISO certified
Anyone ever wonder why tire shops only (good shops) have the manager/supervisor
torque the lug nuts back on? Won't allow the 'tech' to do it...it is
an insurance mandated thing
How many tons are back there only held on via the ball ? While traveling at
highway speeds...and that is on the good days...Mr Murphy lives out there and
gets potentially anyone...not just 'the other guy'...
Mrekim...Harbor Freight or Northern Tool has 3/4" socket sets that can
handle this. Not good enough for professional, all day, 365 days/yr
usage, but okay for occasional usage
