When the desired amount of torque is reached, what does this wrench do? Does it "slip" like a regular hand held drill/torque wrench? How does it tell

The wrench slips/clicks like most of this type of torque wrench will. I've never had an issue with missing the click. I've probably used it 30+ times now.

Wrench clicks or slips as you've suggested. My application of this wrench has been for tightening spark plugs on my boat. 3 years running, i use 30 ft lbs with this wrench, no issues.

When the desired torque value is reached the wrench snap releases and the head moves at least a 1/4 inch free movement. You can both hear and see the release.

No, there is no adjustment for the torque. The longer you hold the trigger, the tighter the nut will get, up to the driver's maximum torque.

This drill should have adequate torque/power to install the fasteners for a piece of furniture. It has an adjustable clutch feature so that you can avoid over-tightening the fasteners; setting it at the middle value of 5 should give you enough torque before it begins to slip. If you need more torque, just twist the collar to a higher setting. The drill comes with a 2-ended screwdriver bit (stored at the base of the handle) that has #2 Philips and regular slot blade points. If your fasteners need a hex wrench, then you will need to buy the appropriate size hex driver bit.

All torque wrenches are supposed to be accurate to within the manufacturer's specs (my Craftsman beam-type torque wrenches are 4%) from 20% to 90% of the listed torque rating. If you have 150 lb-ft rated torque wrench it will usually be accurate within the 30-135 lb-ft range. Some torque wrenches will be accurate below that range, but if you go below the 20lb increment on the torque wrench you have, you will likely be significantly off (although off by 15% on an 18 lb-ft torque spec is only about 3 lbs, so you would be from 15 to 21 lbs, which should be fine). Micrometer type torque wrenches (like this one) are usually a little less accurate than beam type or dial type torque wrenches.

Though I'm not sure about the actual torque produced I know it took a very large nut off the my lawn mowers engine which was impossible to get with a standard wrench. I also haven't encountered anything on my Excursion that it won't take care of.

Hi Steve, No, there is not enough torque/power in this drill press and the speed too fast. This drill press is only for small size drill bits and high speed. Good luck. Bert

As long as the majority of what you are tightening is away from the edge of this torque Wrench's range it should work well for you and offer a wider ranged of use. If you are torquing stuff that is under 25 foot pounds you will probably need a 1/4" or 3/8" torque wrench to get the lower range. I prefer this wrench for the stuff you have described.

You feather the trigger to stop well before bolt/nut is tight: should be less than hand tight at this point. Then use torque wrench. At least this is how we use it on our car lug bolts. Given the torque spec on this unit, you definitely don't want to end up over-torqueing the bolt/nut.

it has alot of torque, i use it for drilling holes mostly. I recommend a ratcheting screw gun for screws.

For torque-to-yield bolts you will need a dial attachment for the wrench to show degrees past torque. An option is to mark a line on the fastener and check the amount of rotation after required torque. This wrench is a pleasure to use.

I can't remember the torque setting and I don't have the manual anymore. However, I just checked my torque wrench, it is at 600 in-lb. I assume that I used 600 in-lb.

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.

I bought the this wrench for my motorcycle torque settings. If you have metric hardware buy a set of socks and hex heads. Same with the SAE hardware. You can use on anything that needs a a torque setting. Make sure which which wench you need--- inch pounds or foot pounds

Torque angle is measured in degrees after the torque has been met. This requires an additional tool that is quite simply a protractor that goes between the torque wrench and the socket. You can buy these at an auto parts store for about $10. Short answer is no, a torque wrench only measures torque.

That sounds about right. It's long for a 3/8" drive compared to a clicker type wrench for sure. What that length gets you is pretty fine control over the torque without bearing down hard. Also it goes pretty high for a 3/8" drive so again you need some leverage to be able to drive those torques without resorting to force which may overshoot the target. The downside of course is it may not fit into tight places, to their credit I seem to remember the ratchet steps being pretty fine compared to my cheapie Pittsburgh clicker type ones, 72 teeth the Eastwood is if I remember right.

It works great for lug nuts, or anywhere you have room to move. I can't torque the nut on my oil pan with it. I use a standard torque wrench for that.

No. I suggest checking the torque after you tighten each bolt, nut, etc. My applicaton is automotive only however if torque is not as critical perhaps in some constructions situtations, this is a great tool.
