    A lot of the PI torque wrenches have lead solder in the bottom of the handle. I use a butane torch to melt the solder and then shake it out of the handle. The first one I did I ground it out with a small carbide burr and destroyed the lock nut in the process. I have found no way to get that...

    Snap On Torque Wrench Lock Ring Problem

    I don't have any service manual, but I have fixed and recalibrated about 25 of these type torque wrenches. All I have is an old exploded drawing I found on the web. The operating mechanism is different but similar to current Snapon torque wrenches made by CDI. I have recalibrated and repaired...
