I need a liitle more torque than my wrench has on it's scale so that i can correctly tighten the rear axle nuts.
I've been looking at torque multipliers but as i've never seen one before i don't know what they're like. I read the descriptions and they talk about releasing nuts and how easy it can be but they don't all say about tightening. It may be obvious to those who have used them but are there versions that only undo and others that only tighten or do both? |

Well, since torque is in ft-lbs, if you know how much you weigh, you can figure out how long a cheater bar you need to stand on to put a given torque on something.
I think with my fat ass, I'd only need a 1-foot bar.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) --DD |
