Ford says lower shock bolt is torqued to 406 lbs. I have a 3/4 drive breaker bar but need to know what size socket I need. And is it sae or metric.

I used a 30 mm. DEEPWELL socket on the nut with a 6 ft. Breaker bar/pipe. I cant remember the size of the bolt but I believe it was one or two sizes smaller.

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.

You need a 1/2 in. Breaker bar and another breaker bar with a 19mm deep socket

Dear OldAmazonian: Any time you put 150 ftlb on a 1/4 inch you are asking for trouble. You will be twisting, stripping etc with that much force. Your adapter will take the punishment for a while but fatigue will take over. There are different grades of tool steel. The reason they have "Impact sockets", is because they are beefed up to take the force of the impact driver. Regular sockets will also work but the square hole becomes quite worn with repeated use and eventually the socket will fail.

Some of the bolts are different, they range from 60 to 120 ft/lbs. The manual tells you which bolt are what torque.

A torque wrench is not needed to remove bolts or lug nuts. Some Ford spark plugs use a torque setting so you don't break the plugs. I really like this model for heavier jobs a smaller torque wrench would be good for spark plugs.

depends on what you want to use it for. if you want to take the lug nuts off your car, you should get the 1/2 inch drive socket set.

Mine was fine thread, my truck is a 2003 Ford f-250 4x4, also look at your thread on your lugnuts, fine thread will have more threads per inch. Threads are very close together, look on the ad should have specs for threads per inch. Hope this helps.

The wrench works fine, unless the lug nuts/bolts are over torqued, that is when you will ruin the wrench trying to loosen the lug nuts. You need to use a breaker bar first

I can only refer to the 2000 Olds Silhouette. It is on the trans axel just past the wheel well. It was frustrating as I couldn't see the nut to know how big of a socket to get. I ended up getting a whole metric set and just went through them blindly. I used one of the car repair books to make the repair - and it's still running fine - about 3 years later. Good luck.

I believe its a 19, may even be a 17. Which is why the adapter is provided, most vehicles come with a 19mm or 22mm lug wrench standard. So unless you have a 17mm socket you use the socket with the kit. Also most impact sockets(cheap brands) are far too thick to even fit into the hole where the lug nut sits. Remember, about 90ft pounds to toghten, recheck in a few hundred miles.

1/2 inch socket set. Sometimes I use a small extension because on certain vehicles the handle gets really close to the wheel or body panel. The further you swivel away from the lug nut or bolt you're trying to remove the greater chance you have of possibly round off the bolt head, the breaker bar may slip and cause a busted knuckle or you could possibly break a stud. Also, you will not get the best leverage if the handle is swiveled away from the head, it's best to keep the handle as perpendicular to the head as possible. Swivel heads are great, don't get me wrong, but in the wrong hands they can be detrimental and ruin your day. 1/2 inch socket set.

If you already have the pilot hole drilled, then what is the hesitation about driving the lag bolt in? It will either go or it won't. If it only goes part way before the drill stops, then you can always finish driving it in with a box end wrench or socket wrench or drill the pilot hole to 7/16" and try again. This is not rocket science at this point. I'm done.

Look at part number HM-RGM451, that unit will have 175 inch lbs torque... the amp rating will have less to do with that. YOu can call to discuss. Dan CSH Incorporated 989-723-8985

Wrenches: 6mm, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15mm ... 3/8 drive 12pt sockets: 9mm, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19mm ... 3/8 drive 6pt deep sockets: 12mm, 13, 14, 15, 17mm ... 1/4 drive 6pt sockets: 4mm, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13mm ... and that's off the top of my head... just joking... man I had to pull the whole case for reference!

This torque wrench would be overkill for spark plugs in most standard vehicle engines and most car and light truck lug nuts torque below 150 ft/lbs. You can find torque values for your vehicles spark plugs and lug nuts online the select the torque range that best fits your needs. I purchased the Tekton 24340 torque wrench for working on my tractor and 5th wheel trailer so I need the higher torque capability.

Definitely. You will need an adaptor that the drill will hold, and accepts 3/8" or 1/4" drive sockets. I have driven lag bolts and used it on automotive and other mechanical applications as well. It packs a surprising punch, but if the load is too big, it does have its limits. I say try it and see what happens. Excellent tool.
