Is this interchangeable? I have a 1/2" Neiko spanner torque wrench set that is interchangeable but I need lower feet-pounds. Will this work?

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.

Yes it will work on a low shank machine.....but I don't like the end results of this foot. This is my opinion.....

I assume you mean 27mm socket. You will need a socket in 1/2 inch drive. If the torque is 150 lb ft or less this wrench will work.

Yes. Calibration is not a big deal. it is a matter of choosing a weight and a distance from the head and applying a simple formula. Simply do a web search for calibrating a torque wrench. There are multiple sites with detailed instructions.

The impact wrench should never be used to set torque. All models are equipped with regulators for speed adjustment. You could put the impact wench on low then use a torque wrench to set the torque.

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.

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.

Marc: A very good question. Many wrench sets miss a few intermediate sizes. Mostly that is because only the most used sizes are included in less expensive sets for the weekend garage mechanic. A buyer has to assess his needs and check the wrench package to be sure he is getting what he needs. On several occasions I had to buy another more complete set because the size I needed was not included in my first purchase. Now I know better. Sears and some hardware stores will sell a single wrench but you can expect to pay a premium. Mike

I have 3 different torque wrenches from the mfg, all have Nm and English unit scales. Note, when the scale is specified in English (ft-lb or in-lb) then that scale is in integers by 10 for each rotation of the adjustment and the Nm scale is in fractions.

I thought you were dead Mr Soprano. Yes the wrench works well for oil pan bolts. I used to tighten trans bolts, pretty accurate and easy to use. trans bolts are 10 foot pounds it can be done with full size torque wrench but risk going over 10 foot pounds with large wrench. 1/4 drive easy to operate and 120 inch pounds ie 10 foot pounds gets you on the money with 1/4 drive wrench. Good tool with case for money.

I'm not sure how you would use these with a torque wrench. The 1/4" hex end goes in a driver (drill or ratcheting hand driver) and then the square end takes a socket. These aren't extensions that you would put in a ratchet or torque wrench.

Sure..... It will work for any torque application that requires 20 to 200 inch pounds of torque. In many cases engines require torque wrenches that measure foot pounds instead of inch pounds (1 ft pound = 12 in pounds)

I don't own a 1/2 inch impact wrench yet. Have just been using it with small nail and brad guns so far. Works fine with them. Sorry.

No, you cannot use tool bits with 1/4" dia shanks in a 1/2" collet, you must use a 1/4" collet. Amazon sells a 1/4" collet that will fit in the same spindle recess as your 1/2" collet. I have used both.

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.

Charles; to the best of my knowledge, they are not interchangeable. A B&D-DeWalt service center could tell you for certain, though. I have access to one, so I'll contact them and post the info here by the end of the week, just in case.

Yes, there are N-m markings on this wrench. However, the markings on the rotating handle (the black part) are only in ft-lbs so you have to estimate a bit when setting to N-m value (can't dial in an exact figure). It does also include a conversion chart to convert from N-m to ft-lbs which may be preferred if you want to set the wrench more precisely. Hope this helps.
