will this measure the torque required to loosen a fastner?

It will read for tightening a left hand fastener. I'm curious why you'd be interested in loosening torque values?

I have never seen a reason to determine this. The device may read the peak torque required start rotating the bolt. Basically related to static friction of the threads and bolt head. You won't get any other reading apart from the thread binding from say rust. Are you trying to determine the strength of different threadlockers compounds?

Torque is torque. Set to peak mode it will record the highest torque reached before fastener release. The unit measures in both directions, CW and CCW.

Yes to both questions. It's a great choice, as the clicker type go out of calibration and so do the dial type. This does not. It's in inch lbs, so simply multiply the 27 x 12 = 324 in. lbs. Sometimes i have to use a mirror to read when torquing upside down.Good Luck

In DeWalt calls it the "Sure Set System Floating Magnet". It's supposed to hold the fastener when you use a 1" bit.

Yea,that's about right.You need a lot of leverage when using a torque wrench.Smaller than the Craftsman 1/2" clicker type I've had for years.Works well so far.Only downside is I use it rarely so install/uninstall battery with every use.

You have to know the diameter of the axel and you need to investigate were this device will go to see if it looks possible

Yes. It measures in Kilograms/grams when set to 0.00 by pressing the LB/KG button.

Look on CDI's website for most accurate info. The tool may go down to 5 but likely isn't reliable at that low of a torque.

All inch pound wrenches measure using the same standard. But half inch sockets do not fit a 3/8 wrench without buying a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. Inexpensive and it does not alter the reading.

The reading might be slightly off if your using the extension bar after the Torque Meter; as the extension bar would be twisting. However I would expect the difference to be very small. In most bolted joints we are only after achieving 60-70% of the bolt allowable tension and that all the bolts are tensioned the same. Basically to clamp the joint together by friction. Therefore I would personally not worry unless your using a stupidly long extension bar after the torque meter. My thoughts anyway.

I only use this adapter to check the calibration of my click and beam torque wrenches. A little clumsy to use as a torque wrench itself especially in tight or unusual positions. Checked calibration at a local machine shop against professionally calibrated equipment and found it to be within specs.

Its for torquing. not tightening. Many people do, but you will throw off the torque calibration!

Not that I can ascertain. As I mentioned in my review, this appears to be a no-load "go/no-go" tool for quick triage. I agree that no-load measurements are not definitive; however they are not completely without utility.

Mine did not, but I tested it against NY brother's snapon 3/8 torque wrench, and found it to be accurate to within a 0.50ft-lb.

yes it will. just make sure that the threads on the flywheel ere clean and that the tool goes all the way in smoothly before attempting to pull it out. do not use hammer at any time, these may make the magnets to fall.

No, it does not. It seems to apply more torque as you let it hammer longer. If I feather the trigger I can tighten things without making them too tight.

Not sure what you mean by does it "do" inch-lbs. of torque. Inch-lbs. is purely a unit of measurement. Inch-lbs. also calculate to ft./lbs. According to the website it has a maximum output of 1740 in-lbs. of torque. But this is not a torque wrench, and it is not variable so you cannot "set" it to a specific torque setting. You will get nearly maximum torque with each application. Not sure if that helps or not.

It shouldn't bolt to the bar, you tighten the screws up against the bar. I believe you are supposed to use a torque wrench to measure the amount that you tighten it
