@gibsonrocker070 Hmm.. Something is could be wrong with it but more importantly does the torque portion of the tool work?

Thanks for the video. I just got two Norbar Torque wrenches because we use them at work and they are good. The thing I was trying to find out was why Norbar's how to sheet seems to say no counter clockwise use. I think it is saying you can torque a left hand screw but use a knuckle bar to break screws loose.

@studley2436 Corrrect. They can lose calibration going CC trying to breake a bolt loose. Odd thing is that all of them have clickers to go either way so the temptation is there. You can check the poundage it takes to loosen up a nut that way but technically really shouldn't. I do on these cheaper wrenches though. Oh well..

craftsman quality seems to go lower and lower...and their warranty with it...great vid..

@subcomandante77 I agree. Most of it's made in China now...

My wrench only goes from 100-1000

@Johnnysshop I was always under the impression that torque wrenches are reversible so you can tighten left-handed bolts. You don't use a torque wrench for loosening.

@ironballsmcgee83 More than likey just a manual old school style where you have to read the dial. I hear they are more accurate.
