The instructions say "Torque the bolts to 10 NÂ·m (7.3 lbfÂ·ft). Can someone suggest a torque wrench that will do this?"

I'll be super honest - I used a drill and the torx bit and just tightened them until they wouldn't go any further. I've periodically checked them, but they are all still tight tight. I didn't bother with a torque wrench.

I used a 1/4" socket wrench with the hex drive bit to install the mounting bolts. If I recall, the threaded fasteners supplied have a thread-locking compound applied. I simply tightened the fasteners fully - without really "reefing" on them.They've remained in place an functional ever since (installed 6/14).

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.

I am not certain I understand the question, but I will attempt to answer it. Suppose you want to torque a bolt to 45 foot pounds. The shaft of the torque wrench has an engraved scale for, I believe, every five foot pounds. Turn the handle until the edge of it reaches 40 foot pounds and the handle has consecutive numbers engraved on it starting at 1, 2, 3, etc., finally stopping at 13. Reading the engraved numbers on the handle, turn the handle until 5 is facing you. You are at 45 foot pounds. The lowest reading possible on this torque wrench is 25 foot pounds. The torque wrench also come with an owner's manual explaining its use and care. I hope I have given you the information you needed.

It depends on what the repair manuals say about how much torque you should tighten to. I originally bought this for motorcycle work but never used it since the lower end of this wrench was a bit too much for most of the fasteners.

A correctly sized wrench should do the job, you will have to remove the handle first I believe.

I have a very narrow wrench made for the job. You should be able to find one for sale at any bike store or online

Doubtful, as stated earlier most automotive torque specs for lugs are around 100ftlbs and I've never been able to get mine to break the lugs free. Had to start it by hand or just pull out my pneumatic impact. Wish it would as it would be much easier than lugging the hose around.

Yes you can , you need a torque wrench and tight the bolts no more than 5 Nm.

Not sure exactly but I would just use it on the lowest setting and dont hammer on them, use a torque wrench afterwards as well. You could also invest into a torque stick that limits the power of the impact when tightening lug nuts.

Either send it to a calibration house...Or test rough accuracy - Buy preset torque wrenches (eg Ritchey 4Nm, 5Nm), tighten until it reaches the 4Nm limit, then try the Venzo at same torque. If the Venzo doesn't reach the limit is at torque or under. Then try the higher torque setting... And rinse repeat.Then tell us how it went!Usually the concern is applying too much torque at lighter range... And not enough at higher range.

I don't know which is right Torque (in-lbs): 330 at acmetools Torque (in-lbs): 122 at lowes

These are not "torque sensitive" like the action screws. Just refer to the chart provided with the wrench for torque recommendations based on bolt size.

I don't think it would be as accurate as you require. 1/2" torque cube ranges from 4 to 147.6 ft*lb.Good luck.

These take a 3/8 wrench. Best scenario, a deep well socket with a torque wrench that measures inch/pounds. Barring that, a wrench and an easy touch. Don't want to strip them. Also, when bleeding, you only have to loosen the bleeder screw slightly, otherwise you'll get leakage around the threads.

I'm curious as to the discrepancies between answers here. Has anyone besides Buck actually tested the torque function on left/reverse threaded bolts? I can confirm that my Tekton 3/8" does NOT work to torque left threaded bolts.

No. It't not a torque wrench. It's an "Impact" wrench. It simply applies whatever torque is required (all the way up to it's maximum) to break fasteners loose or fasten them down. If you want to apply fasteners to a specific torque, you need a "torque" wrench.

I needed an 11mm socket wrench. I also had to use an adjustable wrench (set to 13mm) to hold the head of the bolts while I screwed on the 11mm nuts. You can use any kind of wrench that can handle something 13mm. Without the adjustable wrench I wouldn't have been able to screw on the nuts.
