It's important to know that this type of torque wrench is only accurate when force is applied from a single location at the handle. The first demonstration with hand or hands moving up the wrench past the handle will result in getting a higher torque at the nut when the wrench clicks. This happens because the proportion of force seen by the trip mechanism in the handle, which has its own pivot, is different to the proportion actually delivered through the longer lever length to the nut. This has been adjusted for in the factory during calibration, but the adjustment is only correct for the two different lever lengths seen from the calibration point (ring) marked in the centre of the handle. This is called length dependency, and it's important for anyone who wants accurate results from their torque wrench to know whether the one they're using is a length dependent design or not.

Thank you Todd for an excellent demonstration. I agree that for the price this is a well-built tool with a nice case too. Now I can know how to set it and to listen for that click.

[@ToddsGarage]

Hi Earl, thanks for watching! I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@Ashurus]

Thanks for demonstrating the click. I wasn't sure if mine was clicking, now I know I properly torqued the nut!

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, glad it helped!

[@nuclear_nate]

Just ordered mine, thanks for posting this! Very knowledgeable and helpful

[@lastwhtknight3002]

Todd u r the very best explainer on CZcams. Thank u.

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks appriciate that! I work hard to try to give the best videos i can! Thanks for watching!

[@ScrewedEquilibrium]

In order to get the closest to the torque setting you need to calibrate it by cycling the torque clicks couple 10ths of times before actual use

[@rebelcave8556]

I bought this one. The 3/8 drive however for my spark plugs.

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, hope the torque wrench is working out for you.

[@vabaracusrespect9089]

Thank you sir! I just picked one of these !! Great instructions for the masses

[@jiez.77]

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching! I appriciate it!

[@anthonyrettaliata7311]

Thanks for the help 🙂

[@ToddsGarage]

Thank you for watching!

[@ninoconsorte456]

Hi which one you can recommend EPAuto or Lexivon torque wrench? I hope you answer my question. Thank you 🙏

[@kmboopathi5733]

Thanks Todd… shall we use this torque for Nissan Rogue and its value is 83 ft-lb. TIA…

[@dannykeller6316]

How do you remove the extension and adapter? I put it in but now I cannot remove it.

[@emersonyepez1326]

excelente!

[@Conqueefstador]

Yeah my torque wrench was just faulty. I set mine at 35lbs, made sure the bottom nut was in “lock” setting. And I tightened very slowly, never heard or felt a click at all…. Tightened a little more and now the torque wrench just spins…

[@Eddy-09]

Yours was this same brand?

[@07Review]

I have the same tool, unfortunately I did check it before but months after I bought it to find out this tool was out of calibration.

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, sorry to hear that.

[@saefhindi6184]

Thank you for demonstration.
Every time I tighten the lock knob, the black rubber handle seems stay a little bit loose ! Do you have dame problem ? Thanks

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, I do not have that same problem.

[@paulbiado9014]

Between epauto and tekkton which is better?

[@ToddsGarage]

Hi Paul, Thanks for watching! They are both good brands and in my opinion the same quality.

[@playstation2bigs]

Whic is better epauto or tekton ? Both made in taiwan torque wrench

[@ToddsGarage]

Hi thanks for watching, I haven't tried the tekton, I'll have to check it out!

[@jalacaha]

How can I determine what size socket I need for my 2002 Suburban?

[@ainttakenanyshit]

Whatever size fits.... Scheeese....

[@Whitelivesmatter148ate]

What happens if i get my adapter stuck on the torque wrentch?? I put the short socket on the wrentch and now it’s stuck

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, we're you able to get the adapter off?

[@ainttakenanyshit]

Tip: Use an extension ONLY if necessary.... Done....

[@wesam7]

Epauto or tekton?

[@edneary6074]

You didn't check it against another torque wrench or anything to see if the calibration was right .. it could have been totally off on poundage

[@07Review]

You right I have the same and when I did compare with the other good one, the one showed was out of calibration

[@whatsshaken]

I got in touch with EPAuto about the misleading instructions where it says 'Turn "COUNTERWISE" to increse. I knew it was a typo, yet the diagram shows the arrow pointing right. They sent me a youtube link and funny enough, they make the same mistake. czcams.com/video/dfyfgI1jevE/video.html

[@RedArrowOfficial]

Had to dislike because of the black latex gloves good review tho

[@ToddsGarage]

Thanks for watching, appriciate the feedback, I understand your view.

[@living4adrenaline]

Make sure you use gloves to touch that torque wrench! You didn't explain how the 6 = 76 ft lbs

[@jeannedellphotograph]

Where it the link to buy?

[@isaacbored]

[@jonathanrios7636]

[@isaacbored]
