will using a drive adaptor for different sized sockets effect the torque accuracy due to the increased distance from the torque wrench drive and the socket. Will the increased distance have some effect on the leverage and torque.

[TruTorque]

Thanks for contacting Norbar. A change of socket size will not effect the torque accuracy. This is because the distance is measured from the rotational axis and this will remain constant no matter what size of socket is used on the fastening. A more detailed explanation can be found at the norbar website>products>catalogues and handbooks>Intro>General torque wrench info

I tried posting a link but YouTube does not like it for some reason

A socket extension will not affect the torque wrench as it will not alter the length of the wrench. If a wrench extension is being considered the folllowing formula will calculate the effect of a Torque Wrench Exension: M2 = M1 x L2/L1 where L1 is the normal length, L2 is the extended length, M1 is the set torque and M2 the actual torque applied to the fastener.

What size torque wrench would i need for my wheels ?

[TruTorque]

A 100 N.m torque wrench will cover the vast majority of cars and bikes. The precise setting will vary depending on the make of vehicle. so check your handbook or with the manufacturer. Trucks and buses will be considerably more than this.

[TruTorque]

A torque wrench will fit any socket that can connnect to it using the square drive. Torque wrenches have different square drives. For example the smallest torque value Norbar torque wrenches have a 1/4 inch square drive, moving through 3/8 inch square drive all the way to a 1/2 inch square drive for the largest Norbar torque wrenches.

love the porn music, I feel like torquing some nuts!

[macman216]

and u put it back in storage at the appropriate torque setting, nice.

@hom2fu My Matco tool dealer including the Snap On dealer down the road said to lower down to the lowest setting when not in use.Ruin the clicker mechanism when set back to zero.

[hom2fu]

@throttlehard Because it manufactured oversea, therefore, they unable to speak English. When they speak, you might not able to understand what they are saying and that will cause more confusion.

[hom2fu]

@AgoraMutual Always set back to zero or negative side because inside the wrench is a spring.

[ab0ad]

@macman216 That way when you get it out it is ready to use on the same job again NOT!! You are right they forgot to trun it back to the lowest setting. Norbar nice video, great tools, but bad example.

[IcePickSnowmanzzzz]

thatl come in handy when i need 2 change my oil

[AgoraMutual]

@macman216 What is the appropriate torque setting for storage?

[EuropeFactor]

I see. That explains why my wheels fell off then...

[throttlehard]

This video was made by the manufacturer and yet, not capable of making a narrated video for better understanding?

This is CHEAP! I could make a better video than this and not have to worry about getting paid to do it.

@macman216 The springs in this model are made of adamantium taken from Wolverine's claws, so they don't deform like those in normal torque wrenches if you don't release the tension before storing.

Shucks, should have listened to professor Mansell and purchased these a long time ago.
