    I know what you mean. That feeling when your torquing a bolt and you get that feeling that it’s getting too tight and then ……. SNAP, lol. Never clicked! lol. That digital one is pretty cool!

    Thank you. I have been wondering about using an extension on a torque wrench.

    Great video Bob. Thanks for the info. I would like to see a follow up video after you have used them for a while.

    A good video there bob , both torque wrenches both worked great I have the harbor freight version like you showed in your video where you have to turn the settings but the digital etork I like there also.

    Nice video Bob, I'm partial to the manual eTork even though the digital one looked very dependable.

      I thought I would be manual, but he digital sets faster. At least I know they are both accurate no matter which one I choose.

    I heard that if you put some grease on the bolt's it helps with it getting better tourq reading

    I have the 1/4" as well as the 3/8" that you have, both manual. I need to torque the cam bearing caps on Japanese motorcycles, and they specify something like 78 in-lbs. Overtighten them and you could effectively ruin the motorcycle! Being a Doubting Thomas, I tested mine using a digital caliper + weight (10 lbs x 6" = 60 in-lbs) , and the 'click' was spot on. Moving the point of application even slightly changes the response just like you'd expect, so it's got a pretty good resolution as well. It 'knows' the slight difference. Two years of use haven't changed the accuracy. Having had cataract surgery years back, I also really appreciate how easy it is to see the torque setting. I'm not 60 anymore! I don't use them commercially, but I'm very happy with their products so far.

    Thanks Bob these torque wrenches are very interesting, Jake has been saying he wants to go digital so he may order some. Presently we have 3 different sized click style torque wrenches from Pittsburg and Gray which appear to be working fine. We actually purchased a digital adaptor to use as a cross reference check to torque accuracy of the wrenches.

      If what you have works then you are good. I was running into issue with mine not working properly so I got interested in the etork brand.

    How does the accuracy of the manual style compare to those newer ones? I feel that is the unknown with the cheaper ones, are they accurate.

    • @rbarr775
      @rbarr775 Рік тому

      They offer free lifetime calibration (you pay shipping both ways), but really, testing them is a matter of having a known weight and maybe a bench vise to hold the square drive perfectly horizontally. Just measure a distance accurately, and apply the known weight. I use a loop of #14 AWG solid copper wire and hang ten pounds from the tool's handle. That way I can apply the weight at the exact spot I measured.

      The Etork brand is as accurate as proto and snap on. The HF brand may be accurate, but it may not be. I was having some issues with breaking lighter fasteners, so I was looking to upgrade but not break the bank. Other UA-cam channels have equipment to test all wrenches side by side. check them out.

      That is why I made the video, they are highly rated as far as accuracy over 10K tests. and they are affordable and easy to read/set.
