But as always, I leave them at the cliff's edge, where Nature will decide when a gust of wind comes along to deliver the Coup de Grace. Your blind hatred of me is noted. You have a lot of hostility bob. You have some "issues" that need therapeutic intervention. Lg |

I have a top of the line impulse (why not call it a click type wrench like
everybody else) torque wrench that is now a breaker bar - but I got mine free from a garbage can at Mosport. Works great - I recently had to undo a big old nut that had somehow gotten very tight, and needed at least 400 ft/lbs to break loose. a bit of 2" pipe over the handle and Bob's your uncle....

I guess a ratcheting >breaker bar would be tops. > >Mark OK, I have a confession to make. After covering myself with grease and oil from my "out of calibration" clicker wrench, I did a web search for how to DIY recalibrate. Came up with nothing. So now, it is in the Recycle Bin. Would I buy a nice 1 incher wratchet wrench today for my wheel lugs! Used in conjunction with my electronic torque sensor, it is going to be my "God's Gift to Larry" present if I can get my wife to part with the money ;-\ We'll be getting back to you on this shortly, if I survive our *discussion* over scarce dollars. I see that 1 inch ratchet wrench at Sears and I gloat at it, drooling on my shoes. I must have it, I MUST HAVE IT ! Lg |
