Several recent threads about oil screens has me thinking I need to invest in another tool - a torque wrench that is more accurate at the lower end of scale. To that end, seeking recommendations for which inch pound torque wrench to buy. What do you have and would you recommend it? I suspect there will be lots of different opinions, but lets hear them!

Tom, I feel your pain!
And I'm not yet 65! I've had my side post lift ten years now. Ford I beam front suspension equip vehicles (older trucks) will not chuck up properly and I cannot lift them. As I am an AC specialist shop this hasn't proven problematic. Had a super important customer (Going to paint my house!) with a 2011 E350 1 ton van. Needed brakes replaced. Not a big thing... I haven't done "brakes" on the floor for ten years... The front rotors (which are hubs too, ala 914) must have weighed 80lbs... It needed everything including P-brake shoes and calipers... Wore my ass out! Just getting UP off the floor can be a challenge! I'm turning into a WUSS!!! I'll NEVER do HEAVY "brakes" on the ground again. I'll be LUCKY to make 89... |
