I was thinking to buy torque wrench but I was wondering how to use it correctly Thank you very much for your effort as well for the full information Greetings from Cairo Egypt
Well done tutorial. Thank you! I took notes so I"ll have them in a year or so when I move my travel trailer again. Then looked up the torque values for the tire specifications, and now feel confident enough to give this a try.
Thanks. Was going to change sprockets, chain and tires on motorcycle. Shop said $250. But if I spend half that on tools I can learn to do it myself and have tools for other jobs. Now I know how to use this important tool. Thank you!
"You use a torque wrench in a way so that the value that you hit, is somewhat in the middle" It's because of the total range I need and this that I ordered myself two torque wrenches to work on my racemachines. Very good advice Rev. Thank you for sharing
I'm so glad you made this video smooth and simple first time using a torque wrench your video will be helpful to me thanks great video keep up the good work i will feel confident now gotta change my transmission filter and fluid
Informative, very well made -- thanks for covering this topic in a simple digest-able way. (I realize that you put a lot of time in segmenting your video.)
Thank you sooo much!! Appreciate the links to get these tools as well. I been asking different friends in text on explaining how to use this tool and no reply and the one or two explanations I got, I wasn’t understanding at all. But to see it in person and used so simply is very helpful and impressive. I’m a girl who do my own oil changes and now I’m trying to learn how to do brakes but scared I wouldn’t tighten the tires tight enough or strip them by being over protective. I experienced a tire flying off my car b4, through someone else’s work. 😰😰 could have died!
Thank you RevMatchTV,that clears everything I need to know,to get started as a beginner,using my new Silverline Torque Wrench,thank you friend,for your time & a great clear Explanation..
The impact socket is made from slightly softer but more ductile material. It is less likely to split with impact motion. The hand should be in the center of the handle. More expensive torque wrenches have a smooth ring on the handle to show where the force should be applied. The force should be perpendicular to the handle. Clicking more than will increase torque with each click. These minute things will not affect torque on cars with wide range of torque value, but in more precise application do make a difference.
@@revmatchtv You bet. You do have some very good points. Such as Ft-Lb being the correct unit for torque per ASME, and extensions changing torque. I believe that misnomer comes from impact wrenches. Since the springiness of the extension will absorb some of the impact motion then counteracts the desired direction of the impact wrench. A slow and steady force on the torque wrench will have no appreciable effect on the torque. Unless the head is not supported and it's no longer a perpendicular force to the nut.
Well done! Very informative and helpful. I'm considering getting a 3/8 and a 1/2 inch set. I probably won't use them much, but they are great to have just in case. ✌🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much for your video! It was very easy to follow for a beginner like me! By the way,my vehicle’s owner’s manual says “Torque spec 58-72lbf/ft”. What number should I use?
Great video! I'm trying to tighten my lug nuts but and have set my wrench to the factory spec 95 ft lb, but for the life of me cannot get the torque wrench to turn the nut. Do I need to loosen the lug nuts first before tightening them, or is it possible that my car dealer mechanic set them higher than the 95 spec? Thanks
If you get no wheel lug nut movement that means that the wheels are torqued to at least 95' ft-lbs or higher. If you want to be accurate break them all loose a quarter turn and then retorque to your factory spec. Then retorque 60 miles later again.
thanks! i just got the two answers i was looking for ... can i use a torque wrench to loose bolts?? nope. it is just one sense tool. .. you better use a breaker bar what is this switch for? right-handed threads (set by default) or left-handed thread
Excellent video. At first I thought it seemed long, but you cover a lot. What I miss is the about holding the wrench, because the measurement is based on the lever-arm length. I was hoping you would cover the correct hand location when using the torque wrench. Like properly using it from the handle, and centering, usually with the middle finger on the groove of the knurled handle.
@@revmatchtv let me know when. It was a tough dig, but I got some laminated cards finally from Snap-On / CDI, titled "Torque Wrench 101" which do include a diagram of force at the handle.
in general good video, however on bolt five (the last one) it looked like you put extra twist (maybe 5 to 10 degrees) after the wrench clicked. My apologies if you didn't. Torque to the click and that's it.
Can you set the micro adjustment the ones with 0 - 8 reading in between lets say if the torque settings says 10.5 so can you set it between the 0 and 1?
Around 5:45 you say you pre-tighten by moving the wrench a couple of times before finalizing with the full range of motion until you hear the 1 click. What do you mean by pre tightening? Isn't the torque wrench tightening and you tighten to the click? Sorry for such a simple question :)
My torque wrench is nothing like that in that nothing pulls down or whatever he did. In fact, I am at home depot now and absolutely none of their wrenches do that either. These all have a spinning thing at the bottom. Does anyone know how to use a normal torque wrench and not a mythical one that gets pulled down. I'm sure it's a great video for people who have unique wrenches which can't be found in the real world
The style I'm using is extremely common. I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to, but Home Depot has this style, and there are links in the description of this video the exact wrench I'm using.
I did not know you were supposed to back off the setting and left the spring under tension when I put it away - how can I determine if the tool is still calibrated correctly?
Hello, I believe I have the same torque wrench by CDI. I bought it recently and only used it once. However, when I finished I loosen it all the way down past the lowest setting until it stopped. Will this ruin the calibration? I immediately tightened it to the lowest setting. Also, I saw on their website that the wrench should be used 3 times at maximum setting. Is this a way to brake-in the wrench? Thanks!!
Hey mate, came across your old vid and read your comment regarding this vid. Bit confused with my TOPTUL ANAG1208 wrench. So NM is fine since it has whole numbers but for Ft-Lb it has decimals engraved on the wrench. For eg. it starts from 14.7, 22.1, 29.5 and goes up to 81.1 and on the handle it has numbers from 0-9 and marks between each number for eg. 0|1|2|3 you get the idea. Can you please advise on how the hell do i read Ft-Lb. its driving me nuts. Thanks and keep up the great vids mate!
Ft-lb is just another unit of measurement. The higher the number, the more torque you'll get before you hear the click. If you're aiming for 23 lb-ft start at 22.1 and turn the dial up to 9. It's confusing because your wrench is mapping the NM to lb-ft in a strange way. Generally the values will be 20, 30, 40 etc. Just add up the number on the shaft and the number on the dial to get to your desired spec. Or buy a different torque wrench that's easier to use.
RevMatchTV thanks for the reply but you misunderstood me. My wrench is just like yours in the vid doesn’t look the same but it has Ft-Lb which is (pound feet) on one side and on the other side it has NM. NM is engraved in whole numbers where as ft-lb isn’t. Got issue reading the decimals for ft-lb and dont know how to go about it. Wish i could attach a pic here for you. Would have made it much easier to understand what i was saying.
Hello. So, I "rented/borrowed" a torque wrench from O'Reilly's. Need to do head bolt to 44 ft lbs, plus 90 degrees. Did first 8 on one head to 44, moved dial to 55 so I could add the 90 degrees. Then went to second head. Dialed back down to 44. Busted bolt. Looking at instructions, which I didn't bother to do initially, it says that when resetting wrench, always go back to zero. Is this common knowledge? Because the guy at the store didn't say anything, and I've looked at a couple of videos online that also didn't mention this. Is that why my bolt busted, because it was still set at 55, or was that wrench just faulty? Or maybe a bad bolt? I was using new bolts.
I'm not really sure what the issue is, but there's no such thing as 'resetting' a torque wrench. After you're done using it, you should set it back to 0 however for storage since it will become inaccurate if you leave the spring compressed for a long time. On another note, you really shouldn't be trying to torque down a head if you have no experience. It might look simple, but it's a delicate operation with extremely expensive consequences if not done right.
I was always under the assumption that after the first click, the wrench should not be able to turn the bolt.. but I always feel like the bolt has quite a way to keep turning after the first click, so I've gone to a few clicks until the turning stops.... as I didnt think it could over-torque because of the value set.. let me know if im doing this all wrong!
@@revmatchtv From a Master Tech here. Maybe you should have mentioned not to do a follow through after the first click of the torque wrench thus preventing evertorqueing the desired torque value.
Anyone have a strategy for people who aren't strong enough to reach the desired torque value for truck wheels? Last time I removed wheels I could barely reach the required 150 ft-lbs and now nobody in my family can reach that value to finish my current auto repair job. What is the strategy for slim and short people?
Maybe I am deaf. I can't hear the clicking on my torque. Is it damaged already? I bought it from a (don't wanna tell) shop for only $11+tax. Maybe it is cheap that is why it may not click at all?
It's like changing to winter tires: it seems more expensive at first glance but than you realise that two sets of tires wear two times slower. The more you use the tool the sooner it will brake. Especially if you overload it constantly.
Exactly. When you get the $30 you should definitely get a breaker bar when you can. Your torque wrench will last a loooong time instead of going out of calibration after a few uses.
Why does every video on tourqe wrench don't go over multiple tourqe setting valves and how to do that like head bolts have to be done at 22 then 44 then 66 as final setting on 4.3 vortec v6 and someone said I set it at 22 then redo 3 times and don't raise the value on handle and don't see how redoing at 22lbs 3 times without adjusting handle will tourqe it to 66lbs and feel not correct and must do at 22 by handle then move handle to 44 then redo bolts then move valve again on handle to 66 and redo bolts for the third time to get to 66 final tourqe setting but not covered in videos and guessing that this never comes up and seems obvious to me to move the handle value up as you go but got someone saying don't and my first engine head and first time using tourqe wrench and into a job deep lol
How bout on an inch pound torque wrench...does each digit when turned (1-10) equal to one digit or multiples of ten or what?? Nobody seems to covers this stuff with a inch pound torque wrench....Math challenged old inch pound torque wrench folk need love too. LOL!
Look at the dial. As you rotate the dial it will tell you what fraction you're at. It's not mulitples of ten. It's the number on the dial. It's exactly the same as any torque wrench.
RevMatchTV I’m an impact beginner for sure. But a cordless impact used in lower setting used carefully by first tightening by hand could be a simple option
You're the second guy on these vids I've seen say that saying "foot-lbs." is incorrect (even though it says "ft-lbs." on the wrench itself!) Why do you think you know that "ft.-lbs." is incorrect? Where did you gain this truth?
According to the Society of Automotive Engineers applying torque to a fastener is expressed in pound-foot. If you're interested you can Google it. It's on their website. Google "Gary W. Pollak, P.E., Program Manager for the Society of Automotive Engineers" and you'll see the reference. The SAE is considered the standard. Good question!

Why not an impact wrench for the job
Because I’m teaching people how to use a torque wrench. You cannot get accurate torque with an impact and you can easily damage a bolt or stud.
RevMatchTV agree. But you could tighten but not specs first?
IF you know how to use one correctly and not jam on the bolt. Most people don’t know how to do this. This video is aimed at beginners.
RevMatchTV I’m an impact beginner for sure. But a cordless impact used in lower setting used carefully by first tightening by hand could be a simple option
Jeff W Take your time, go slowly and learn how to tighten the nut so it has barely any pressure on it and then finish it with the torque wrench.
OK if this is vital why don’t car manufacturers include A torque wrench?
Because it's added cost and 99.999% of people don't work on their own cars.
10 minutes when it only takes 2 😂
So let’s say my torque wrench makes multiple clicks... does that mean it’s broken
That means you've possibly pushed past too far. But muliple clicks does not sound right.
You're the second guy on these vids I've seen say that saying "foot-lbs." is incorrect (even though it says "ft-lbs." on the wrench itself!) Why do you think you know that "ft.-lbs." is incorrect? Where did you gain this truth?
According to the Society of Automotive Engineers applying torque to a fastener is expressed in pound-foot. If you're interested you can Google it. It's on their website.
Google "Gary W. Pollak, P.E., Program Manager for the Society of Automotive Engineers" and you'll see the reference. The SAE is considered the standard. Good question!
@@revmatchtv Ok fine but it was expressed as ft-lbs decades ago in my college text books.
@@jag3384 Pounds per foot
or
Foot per pounds.
Only one makes sense. RevMatchTV is correct.
I thought extensions changed the torque value. Meaning 130 on the wrench wont be 130 when the extension is involved.
It does not change the torque value
How do you manage to make a 10 min vid out of a torque wrench🤦🏼♂️
Good thing there's a fast forward button!
@@revmatchtv good thing you hit that 10 min mark to get your money from youtube, keep adding all the bs talking in your vids lol
@@christianrodriguez2179 You think content creators should work for free, right? Because it's way too difficult to hit the fast forward button on free tutorial content. Got it.
