I personally owe a set of those and do find them to be well built and love how they lock in place with your torque settings. I would recommend them to everyone.
Danny, thanks again for another great lesson. Background story: My only previous torque wrench is a light duty, old school, deflecting beam type; which works great, yet sometimes is difficult to get into position. My teenage daughter who is about to graduate from VoTech auto-mechanics, and whom is almost 40 years my junior, is embarrassed by that 19th century artifact. When I first saw this video last week, I was sold; just what I've been wanting for half a lifetime: an affordable, reliable, modern, pre-set, click style torque wrench. Today after changing the spark plugs on the '08 Element SC, following your other great instructional videos - it came time to set the wrench to 13 ft-lbs. I proudly showed her the new 20th century modern wrench, and asked her to teach me to set it. To my surprise, she didn't know how; both of us were dumbfounded. Turns out, she has only been using 21st century digital torque wrenches, which I didn't realize existed. Hence, I revisited this video to learn how to set it.🤣
Nice video! Does it have to be 1/2 drive to torque wheels? I have 3/8 Kobalt clique torque wrench (20-100 ft.lb). Can you also do water pump preventative maintenance? Thank you.
I received mine yesterday and even at the lowest setting (10 FT/LB), no matter how much torque I exerted it wouldn't click. Did you or any of your subscribers experience the same issue?
@@joeyyung911 2012 FK2 Civic anyway I used a 1/2 torque wrench and no a 3/8. But I learned my lesson one time. I tighted it with a 1/4 wrench by feeling and then I checked it with the 3/8 torque wrench and it was between 20 to 30 Nm
I’m curious if the PCV was a factory Honda from the dealership or after market, can you confirm it was or was not purchased from the actual dealership, this will help determine if it’s an incorrect torque spec or a inferior aftermarket product
@@dannysdiygarageNo Danny actualy my car has only 67000 km so 42000 miles. And it has the original PCV valve for sure. I have cleaned and reused the original PCV valve and tightened the valve with a VANPO 1/2 torque wrench (that seems to be the European counterpart of ANPUDS) and it seems if you tight it with a 1/2 wrench seems to have maybe more force than if you set a 3/8 wrench to the same torque rate. I just can't explain, how it happened😂

Thanks for sharing, yes mine are holding up well
thank you. been looking for an affordable troque wrench for a while
Appreciate your gratitude ❤
Thank you for your love for our products, a great video, thank you👍
I Appreciate the affordable torque wrench, it’s a valuable asset for “do it yourselfers” working on their cars ❤
Great work video 👍
@@luisorellana3392 appreciated
Thanks Danny your very professional thanks 👍

What’s great story, appreciate reading this
Thanks, Danny. 😊
Welcome! Appreciate you watching

3/8 drive works for most Honda cars, but wheel torque is different on other models and 100 ft lb won’t be enough
How do you set nm.
@@Koailo88 the same way, it’s marked with both
I received mine yesterday and even at the lowest setting (10 FT/LB), no matter how much torque I exerted it wouldn't click. Did you or any of your subscribers experience the same issue?
wish I saw this video sooner. Bought a Craftsman last month that cost more and no sockets.
Yeah, I can’t believe the price of that thing, I wasn’t expecting much, but so far it’s delivered, it will be interesting how it holds up over time
Danny I did a mistake with my Torque wrench set to 44 Nm I have broken my PCV valve, I think that was to much torque applied😅
2006 Civic? The service manual is wrong. I broke mine a couple of times using those torque numbers.

Cheap ones are a liability. The two ive bought were way out of spec
Time will tell, I’ll do an update every time I use it in a repair videos, that needs something torqued 👍🏼
And that’s why you test them for accuracy.
