Torque Wrench

[GoldnKnight22]

church. i love my little $9.99 torque wrench. i was scared to buy it at first. but i havent had a problem with it at all. and its still accurate even after hella uses.

I am curious to hear how you would check the accuracy....

I'm wondering, do you use an impact wrench, torque wrench, or just regular wrenches to put your lug nuts back on?

What got me wondering about this, is this morning I ask my dad if we have a torque wrench just out of curiosity, because I couldn't remember. So he says "no, but why do you need one?" I say simply because I'd rather use a torque wrench to put my lug nuts back on because impacts over-tighten them. Then he gives me this "I been doin it fur yearrrsss every shop duzz eet i nevar see no probleems. Yu aint gunna brake nuttin usin dat impact wrench we gotz."
Pretty much talking like I'm stupid for wanting to use a torque wrench, because it will take maybe 2 more minutes at the most (boo hoo).
Plus as much as I take my wheels off and on, and I will be in the future with possibly lowering my car a little more, getting new brake rotors, new wheels in the future, test fitting wheels and getting my drop dialed in, etc, I'd rather do it the right way at 80ft/lbs if I'm going to be doing it that much.

Bax i died when I read the country accent haha

I'm just hoping one of the two HFT locations will have the torque wrench and lo-pro jack in stock when I go.

Wish I had known about that place before, the prices and selection are fantastic.

Only thing to be wary of Derek is that Harbor Freight parts WILL break and they do not have a lifetime guarantee. My GF's brother bought a lot of stuff from them, basically swore by them, and a year or so later he now having to replace a bunch of stuff that broke.

I have the one from harbor freight too. Works great, and fits perfectly beside the seat just incase someone needs a head bashing

Gotta pick and choose what you buy from HF. Some stuff is cheap and good, some stuff is cheap and not good.

So was I haha
