  • @mario102395  I stayed at a Holiday Inn!!

  • where did you get all this wealth of knowledge from. DEVRY???

  • i just got me a used Snap-On 12Inch QJR3250A and the previews owner told that he used it few time.... in cosmetic terms the wrench is not scratched or that it has been dropped. this video has helped allot and thank you for uploading it.

  • The weight of the wrench itself would result in it clicking at a higher setting than expected, but if you stick with testing values high up in the scale, the error will be less significant. You could minimize the effect if you place the wrench in a vertical position rather than horizonal, and use a spring scale like the kind used for weighing fish (don't use the tall tale versions-) to apply the force.

    Then the weight of the wrench won't matter, and the only error would be the scale accuracy
