Torque Wrench

[KrackaC8]

Not concerned with cost. i have torque wrenches…. I like the idea of using a torque stick.. my orginal post was asking if anyone has experience?

here are a couple of more options

Why? They're less accurate and designed for lazy lube techs.

anyone use a torque stick?

I'm a technician never use them. They're not accurate. Put your wheels on by hand and set your t torque wrench for 80lbs.

To me, the best thing about these is if you have an impact and don't really know how to use it, these can help with over-torquing fasteners. But I'd still pull out the torque wrench and top all of them off.

The worst thing about these is people assume just by using them that fasteners are always perfectly torqued. Sort of like saying anyone can perform a perfect surgery if they use a calibrated scalpel.

I don't think they're a scam, but they're promoted like they completely eliminate torque wrenches, which isn't the case...or shouldn't be.

Close is close. Unless its something that needs more precision. Then I go with a digital torque wrench

90ft lbs is the sweet spot, don’t over think it.
