I am part of a truckers union, thanks to these videos I am learning new techniques to train our members
thank you.
greetings from Monterrey Nuevo Leon Mexico
.
The cost of the torque wrench is definitely cheaper than a wheel coming loose and damaging the studs and rim plus down time. Great video 👍
Plus the hefty fine if anyone or anything is hit
Plus bro its bad for back
If only more folks used a torque wrench on lug nuts.
The 1' tire shop 1500lb torque lug nut gun is for removal!!
i use air for removal as well, the breaker bar is a nice bonus don't use it much but its nice too have.
Tell me about it. My buddy had his brakes changed at a tire shop on a Dodge 3500, and the guy used an impact wrench to put the lug-nuts back on, two days later the lug-studs broke-off and the tires rolled down the highway into the woods....
We use the gun to put them back on. Never had a problem and we have over 350 trucks in our fleet. Just don’t over tighten them.
Yes sir. I didn't have nine and had to use a 10ft pipe to get the wheels off.
I love today's classroom session
You're doing great I love it
U don't feel so intimidated by the inner working of trucks anymore thanks to this channel and a few others.
That is something that would be useful. I love that it's American made. Nothing wrong with the other companies out there I just prefer American made if possible.
Remember, American made and made in America is different
I really don't care where it's made. Taiwan is very good at tool manufacturing and they make great tools and machines that don't cost an arm and a leg. Taiwan IS NOT CHINA. They're different countries entirely. Taiwan = good, China = junk
@@juansolo1617 That’s right
I haven’t heard of someone wanting to torque a semi in some time. Impacts were made to loosen lug nuts and NOT tightening them. I cringe when I see or hear a shop use an impact on wheels and not torque them. I’m glad you mentioned the bit about the surface area where the lug nut goes being clean. This is a rule my oldest brother passed down to me ...If you have a tire replaced on a semi, have them checked or re-torqued after 100 miles , when you get back home or if you feel any vibration. Having your own torque wrench is a great idea. I like the preformed cases that come with tools, but I would get a new toolbox and make my own form that would allow the breaker bar to be included. The problem is finding a toolbox wide enough! Good stuff, bro!
I’ve been using that same wrench for five years now. Works great.
They need to be calibrated every year.
Arnoldo Adaire I had The calibration checked a few times, against another calibrated unit, mine was so close we never sent it back.
I'm going to get one of these
How does it works on a rear tandems ?
@AKA Shady ...you can get a 14 extension from Kentool or Norbar via Myers if he doesn't already have a link.
Got two precision instruments torque wrenches. Ten years in not disappointed.
glad to hear it
I've seen some large wrenches and ratchets, and the stuff used on large vehicles and machinery never ceases to amaze me.
thanks for buying an American made product..we need this more than ever folks...
worst comment ever
I really respect that despite the fact you are in line for sponsorship money from the tool manufacturer - you still give us the cons of the product (as well as the pros).
👍
Peace.
Ezra's, these videos are awesome. I learn a ton from you. Thanks!
I remember we had these badass HyTorq hydraulic torque monsters, we used them to tighten and torque 4" nuts on the jaw crushers at the surface mine.
15 pound sledge hammer on our cone. It's around a 4" thread, hit it till she dont move anymore.
Hey WOW, I was looking at some of those but went with torcUP due to other considerations but there are many decent players in the field, ALKITRONIC has a good video that explains the affects of lube on studds, when I worked for a over the road fleet and used antisize, the broken studd remover got a lot of use, but when I went to work on garbage trucks and school buses ,the antisize wasn't allowed but then the inner nut would stick and the Budd nut wrench(pork chop) was needed frequently .
Your channel is def one of my top favorites. Hope to see more videos soon!
Those PI wrenches are nice, I have 2 of those and they've held up well. Check them every year and so far the calibration hasn't moved any. They're fairly priced for what you get as well I think and nice to be able to buy a US built quality tool still.
Now that’s a torque wrench, good to see you again, thank you for your videos and stay safe and healthy.
Always learn something from you Ezra ... keep up the good work 👍
idk how i got here but im glad i did. you seem like a great person. keep it up man
Hi again i'm from UK ,i am retired big rig driver/mechanic.I have seen 20 stone drivers jumping on a wheel brace with a 4 ft scaffold tube on until they hear creak creak ,and then when i have been called out to them when a wheel fly's off they have said to me you must not have tightened them when maybe i have had wheel off to repair something.Not that 20 stone jumping on 4 ft extension doesn't stretch wheel stud threads or fractures stud .This was common in my days but you could not tell these type of drivers they know best.IDIOTS.
I swear I learn something just about every video. Thanks
Guess I've been lucky, but for 52 years, every lug nut I have had installed has been torqued with a 1" rattle gun. I have had to take a torch and burn of studs on the off highway log truck I drove in the '70s when they seized up due to salt rust and snow those were 14-24 Firestone(?) Rib Excavators on the steer tires. I do remember that the tire and wheel weighed 345 pounds. And, the tire man at Weyerhaeuser could pick one up and toss it in the back of his tire truck. Nice guy, but not one to mess with.
Hey WOW man, this all is very manly and I hope I don't come across like a goody two shoes but before anyone tries using a torch on a lugnut that has the tire still on it whether inflated or not, they might want to watch some of the Bridgestone safety videos...I like one title PYROLYSIS.
@@cameronduff884 Nah, the tire was always off the rim. usually, we went back to the shop that night missing studs. Nightshift would replace the studs
One of the tire guys at one of the terminals for a company i used to drive for had one of those. He loved the versatility of it
I love the video
Just used your link for that torque wrench and subscribed! Thanks for doing these videos, they have been very helpful/informative.
EZ, you are so precise..I like watching your videos. You'd make a dam good shop teacher
That wrench is almost as tall as you!!
longer the better, 500 ft lbs is 500 lbs of force at 1ft if the wrench is 5ft long that is reduced to 100 lbs of force for the same 500ft lbs.
@@Ezrider359 make a 500ft long one
Thanks for the info. You make it easy for us non wrenchers to understand
Just wanted you say hey Racer X !
I did receive a wrench breaker bar combo yesterday and now that breaker bar fits in the plastic case
I hope this doesn't come off as odd but I wish I actually knew you. I get the feeling you're a great person to listen to and learn from!
Got mine with the 3/4” head a couple months ago. Awesome quality. The case does hold the breaker bar now.
Great video. Excellent discussion on torque specs and pros and cons of the torque wrench. Thanks and cheers.
Have been doing this 30 years but still not completely satisfied with the methods at hand, sometimes there is lube or antisize on the studds, even from the factory and that changes the friction affects torque as rust would have the opposite effect, I don't have any recommendations at this point but there might be a possibility of using angle instead of torque and some sort of locking device. (like a teardrop plastic nut check)
This was really helpful! Ive been debating about wether to get a 1in millwakee impact gun, which i still plan on but that torque wrench looks like a good option for on the road, least no batteries!👍🦝
I happen to own both along with some other air impacts and torque sticks and most recently a pneumatic torque multiplier which seems the most promising, but I would start with the torque wrench like he has or a broke back type. (no relation to the movie)
Thanks, Ezra and that's a nice setup. I always used a big 4-way and a 4 or 5 foot pipe on it but now they use torque sticks onj aIR WRENCHES. Oh wello. Thanks again and GBWYall!
How is the mighty pup? Sure would be nice to see the Mack a little more. That’s just me though, I’m sure. I really like the green Mack. I know, Old Red still has some work to be done so we have to wait. Thanks for the great videos Ez!
I love the torque wrench. That’s something I need. Added to my links.
Mack has a pretty good list of things that needs to be done but I haven't been running it much as iv been using old red. In sure your see some videos on the Mack In the future
Very informational on something I thought I knew! Right on
Thank you for all the great teaching videos. You make truck work easy. I own a 2002 Freightliner/Thomas FS65/air brakes/5.9. Now if I can just figure out the hub type/number I need to convert from stud pilot to hub mount, I would be in great shape.
I may buy this, thanks!
Thank you
Thanks
Much better than the “four ugga-dugga” method of torquing lug nuts...
Hope all is well with you and your family haven't heard from you good to see you again
Missed most of the video content.
When he mentioned: " ... mating surfaces.", I launched into a daydream, starring Christie Brinkley.
Keep on trucking Ezra
I think you are the only one who torques those nuts.
Great video. Keep them coming I know it's hard to work all those hours and make videos
HF Apache gun case is probably perfect size to fit all those parts, and cradle them in foam.
Well on the flange style lug nuts like in this video requires 5w30 motor oil as well
Its 450 to 500 ft lbs ...
Set the torq wrench to 475 and your good
Me i just oil and use the gun
Reason being 50-100 miles is a retorq requirement...
Drivers dont stop... not my fault ...
Ta charges 7 bucks no wait they come right out
But according to the Alcoa manual, only 1 to 2 drops per outer end of studd and 1 to 2 drops in the thrust washer. (don't take my word for it either)
Agreed
Right in front of handle the steel just snapped only ever used it on one truck and two trailers. Boy seen one one internet for sale about ten miles from home case and everything. It was a prescision instruments six hundred pound. Paid six hundred dollars for snap on. This guy wanted three hundred dollars. I offered him two fifty. He took it. It was exactly the same exactly as snap on. The only difference the snap was red were you adjust it the p I was blue. My son looked on internet and found out p I made the snap on. Still have pre instrument yet works great. Didn’t know if you new that. I torque four fifty truck and dropdeck. Enjoy your show. Just bought tiger tool for taking anchor pins out when doing brakes Havent used it yet. I will keep watching.
Absolute monster.
thank you great inf..🙏🙏🙏
Hey , good to see ya back!!!
Nice to see you on here again. Nice torque wrench. That looks like my smaller Snap on torque wrench.
Might be, I have a Cornwell that looks like it, I heard that Snap on bought Norbar, a English company that makes a lot of the bigger stuff used to calibrate.
nice to see ya again mate,great video for sure
Just found your channel brother!! I’m a new owner op and look forward to learning some tricks!!!
Was waiting for new video man. Enjoy watching it. Any chance you can do a shop tour and all the tools you own man?
Maybe one day
Currently unavailable from the link in the description. Says they don't know when or if it will ever come available. I subscribed, and will watch for other tool links.
Really enjoy your educational videos. You do an awesome job editing and speak clearly. Thank you for all of your efforts.
amzn.to/3yzqKNW updated link
I think I've seen similar re badged with snap on, Cornwell and Myers tire, similar are Norbar/ ESCO/Kentool and Stahlwille if you're into German tools.
Been looking for a tool like that every time I go to loves for a tire repair I say to myself I wish I had one of those now I got one thanks bigdog
Do you keep it on the truck? Has the torque calibration gone way off kilter from bouncing in the truck? Thanks
@@markm0000 yes I keep it in the truck calibration still the same
@@1971bigrob Ok good 👍. I’ll get one along with a extra wheel to mount a steer and get me home. I paid thousands and thousands in roadside tires and I’ve had enough.
What does James Brown and Ezra have in common? They're both the hardest working man in their profession.
Thank you for your helpful information.
Nice video! I'm tool / precision friendly; but I've seen Les Schuab's tire techs tightening those nuts with their power tool, idk if it was related, but 1 month after geting new tires (from them) a front rim cracked!!!
If the crack happened near or around the lug nut, then yes it was due to over tightening the lug nut. The torque spec is there to keep the bolt or nut tightened so you won’t damage anything as well as it not coming loose, whether it would be the threads, the bolt or nut, or the part itself, in this case it was your rim.
very good tool. i want to buy one, but i dont work in a diesel shop! lol
I own this torque wrench, it’s great!
Just bought that brand but in a 3/4 I have the older style wheel ball n seat just got 6 brand new aluminum wheels and want to make sure there torqued right
Hey WOW, I have the same thing, it's great ain't it!!!just in case you didn't already know it, my ALCOA manual says you can put 1 drop off oil on the studds but not to let any get on the ball seat.(don't take my word for it)....search....
Been missing video's of you, do more of anything about what your daily things.
Good video chief 👍
ironic, i am looking at the precision 3/4" torque wrench on amazon as you notification came up.....not sure if i am replacing mine with the precision, cdi (company that makes snap on, or a snap on torque wrench. the fact that the include breaker bar attachment doesnt go in the blow molded case is irritating....but not a deal breaker for the cost.
iv had mine for quite a while now overall im happy with it. i rarely use the breaker bar but its nice to have. the case and the one button being to small to press with your finger are my biggest complaints. i just decided to do a video on it cause i needed something i could film and upload without a lot of time into it and apparently the internet has a obsession with torque wrenches....lol
Mr Smith in the house!!!!!
@@Ezrider359 i have a older snap-on and the buttons are the same lol, irritating for what you pay new for them
I wrote my comment before I read yours
@@flmmaz how have you been my friend? sure do miss your videos! sure hope things are going well for you.
Got one works for me 😊 good bit of kit y'all stay safe out there bud
Well you have me beat.lol.thought i had a big torque wrench.lol.but great video as always.
Precision Instruments makes Snap-On I believe. Snap-On just puts their name on them and charges twice the price LOL>
Precision instruments and CDI both make torque wrenches for snap on. The Different lines have different manufacturers from what I remember
I can verify this because I work at Precision Instruments. We also make make Mac tools.
My snap on man is pretty good about warranty and has a testing device on the truck...thats worth something to me.
Precision makes them for snap on.
Cool stuff man 👍
Wish I had that torque wrench at work
Sounds like you're boss and co workers are like mine....worried about the next BBQ....and if you break down and buy it yourself, you might find yourself stuck in the tire shop like me.(it's not all bad)
Nice review and tips. You sure pick great products. I purchased one through your Amazon link. I did notice that you can get it cheaper but minus the breaker bar. Thats probably the norm as the blow molded case shows. The combo pack has the breaker bar added. Can't wait to get it. Keep up the good work.
supposedly they have updated the case, to include a spot for the breaker bar as well as a extension and socket.
@@Ezrider359 maybe Precision can send you an updated case. It's worth a call. I'll let you know if they send a case that holds everything when it arrives. Who knows, maybe they updated their case after your product review. I recently got a new blow molded case for a different tool that actualy broke at the clasp after one use.............kind of the same but different.
@@Ezrider359 You are correct. I recieved the combo set all in the case with room for 2 sockets and maybe a short extension. Very nice tool.
@@Ezrider359 cool, we should have come here first, our torque wrench was "sacrificed" for the sake of field expediency, and nothing was said until I pointed out the bow going the wrong way and used a torque calibration cube on it. (they finally sent it out for re testing) but probably were never guilty of being under torque without a regulator or torque stick.
Bought a new snap on torque wrench thirty years ago. Was using it about three years ago it broke right behind
Would be nice if there were places that calibrate that you could find without a hassle.
I need that XLT Breaker Bar
Exactly what I was looking for
Precision Instruments should listen that you have to make room for breaker bar for selling your breaker bar. - Marketing Icon.
Great tool to have and yes i wouldent want the tool rolling around in the truck eather
Hey EZ , havent seen you in awhile figured you been busy truckin.
Looking forward to seeing the Pete , wondered if you put a driver in it ? Stay safe !
Great video!
That's the torque wrench I used building Cats and Cummins engines. Man, that was work but made my day when the smoke flew !🇺🇸
There you go doing the process correctly
I don’t even work on heavy trucks but given my 1/2” digital snap on set me back 550.. I can only imagine how much the snappy version of that would be? Multiple arms and legs
The 3/4” Techangle is $1,500 list. You can get them for a fair price with a student discount or promotion. I paid just over $700 for my 3/4” Techangle.
if you have changed tires and torque them up to spec do re check 40-60 miles down the road ..man that is an expensive tool $500 aud plus in Australia and mating surface is between wheel rim and truck hub not just the wheel nuts too seen heaps wheels that have come/came off laying in the scrub and wedged between trees cause of not re checking wheel nuts nice to see Ezra giving us some videos on trucks and trucking mechanical information or heads up
Hey brother good to hear from you, u doing ok? Nice informative video like always. Well you be safe brother your friend from Larned Ks Eric Houser.
Do they make torque sticks for a torque spec like this? I know they make them for normal passenger vehicles, but for a truck I feel like it would be a decent idea rather than just ramming the lug nuts on you can get in a ball park range for the torque spec
God Bless You!...I just wish I could give you a straight answer..I found the perfect torque stick from Accutorque (made in Sweden),but can no longer find it in my 1inch drive, 475ftlbs, 33mm configuration, I sent a substitute that wasn't as deep as it needed to be, and was blown off by Myers tire supply after getting the exact part #(like l was supposed to be content with a universal square drive)..but yeah..you can find them..Grey..Steck...but I think the Swedish have seen the writing on the wall and have tooled up to make torque multipliers (I think CPs Blue torque is made in Sweden)(anybody feel free to straighten me out if they better information)
Good presentation!
Glad you liked it!
Nice vid, looking forward to more autox content!
there is going to be a autox video in the near future.
Thanks for the video. How is that Torque wrench still working out? I need one for my motorhome 22.5 tires.
It's good
Nice vid keep it up
Appreciate it
Can you show how to use that wrench on the rear axles..? 🤔
What about drive or trailer tires? Does that set come with an extension?
That's a a very valid point that I'm glad someone brought up, just wanted to say that my torque stick instructions warned not to use it for that purpose!...must be a different steel?
In my tool box...
And what drawer does it go in?
It breaks down fairly compact (except for the breaker bar), but if you don't have a wide box and you have room, consider a jobsite box.
oh yeah. you could gut the insides of the case .. then wrap all those piece in plastic. fill it with that expanding foam. presto, custom case. or gut the case and just use a semi dense foam. my two cents.. good vid..
Way too much hassle for the minor annoyance of it not all fitting in the case
Masha Allah akbar ameem
thanks for video ez !! be safe !! wait on the next one from ez production !!!!
thank you t mack
your welcome ez !!
What socket size did you use? 33 mm?
Despite using torque measurements, I've never really liked them. For example most wheel torques are for clean, dry, undamaged threads. An any lube to the mix, PB Blaster, Anti-Sieze, or whatever and you can end up with up with an increase in tensile on the fastener. And it can be significant to the tune of like 50% more tensile
Hey WOW, there IS someone else that has noticed this, the problem is the tire man isn't allowed time to clean and dry them, also noticed that the factory uses some sort of lube to make it so we can get that pesky first time off without needing a sledge hammer, not to mention the leaking hubcap, has anyone tried using angle instead of torque?....yeah, I know, too slow.
Hi, can you show what kinda, size and brand of extension do you have for the rear? I have a 3/4" foot torque wrench ( 4' long) and I used a 3/4" to 1/2" adaptor and an extension to torque my truck. The 1/2" extension broke ;(
