Do "I ****"?

[WVU Tuba Dale]

Bought if used for $250. The guy before me used it once. What do you all think?

 

[T56 Impala]

Yup, You ****!

List is $439 so, you did good. Once you start using it, you won't use another type of torque wrench again.

Seems like a "you ****" kind of deal. I'm curious as what kind of ratchet is on there. Is it an 80 tooth?

936...............

Great score!

 

[jay50]

Oh, you definitely earn the "YOU ****" comment....

 

[ImportTuner]

Now that you mentioned it, yep, you **** ..

 

[Paladin]

Definately...

 

[GDA]

Score! Big time score!

I've always wondered who the high bidders were on those high-end torque wrenches.

 

[WVU Tuba Dale]

I got it off of Craigslist. They guy left it as "make an offer." I offered $200, and he took $250. It is a 36 tooth ratchet I think. I used it today on a water pump at work, and I love the vibrate feature.

$250 doesn't seem that off for a used torque wrench. Snapon is one year warranty to original purchaser isn't it?

 

[mkdive]

U ****. Nice torque wrench though!

Can someone explain what the "angle" means? The SO man says that it's used mainly in automotive,but I was wondering what it really means.

 

[WVU Tuba Dale]

It measures angle you turn a fastener, even if you use the ratchet. I know on my connecting rod bolts it was a lb/ft measurement + so much of an angle on the fastener to get stretch, but I ended up just using a dial indicator to reach proper fastener stretch.

Many critical fasteners on modern automotive engines are torque to yield type. Their torque setting is usually foot pounds plus additional turning between 35 and 180 degrees after the torque is acheived. These bolts are not reusable.
