This post seems to offer a method by which you can go lower than 20 ft-lbs.http://www.amazon.com/No-information-for-this-product/forum/Fx2PK59HIQNWL2O/TxBMHAUEFH78ZR/1/ref=cm_cd_et_md_pl?_encoding=UTF8&cdMsgNo;=4&asin;=B0028081GK&cdSort;=oldest&cdMsgID;=MxM49PS8757LY4#MxM49PS8757LY4

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.

As I look at the Mini-Ratchet, I can't find anything regarding torque ratings. I'm sure, since it measures only 4" long X 1/2" wide X 5/16" thick it won't be able to withstand very high torque. But, that is just my opinion.

I don't know your torque specs, but it is good to 200in/lbs. I used it for primary case on Harley which is a similar application, and I went to 120 in/lbs. Hope this helps.

HI, the torque is according the ¨T¨ in brushed motors; less T: less torque more speed, more T: more torque less speed. This motor is 15T is for med-speed rather torque. Regards

I believe the scale would be inch pounds, I just multiply / divide by 12 as required and note that the 250 inch pound variation is equivalent to just over 20 foot pounds. There is also a metric scale as well. Look for other versions listed, some variations are scaled in foot pounds and make sure you get one that covers the max torque you might need. I purchased both 3/8 and 1/2 drive versions and have been very happy with them. Note, make sure you set them back to minimum torque values during storage to keep the calibration.

These instructions are mostly for dealers that may be using large wrenches. 9 ft lbs is not very much torque. You should get about the right result by tightening firmly using normal key from a torx set.

13 - 15 - 17 - 20 - 24 - 29 - 34 Teeth. Personally, I think this is too wide a range and went with 14 - 32T which has 14 - 16 - 18 - 21 - 24 - 28 - 32 and does not have quite as big a jump between the gears.

The specs say up to 480 ft-lb. Not sure if it actually delivers this kind of torque. This is the Chinese made Craftsman.

You are better off with the 10-150. most cars spark plugs foot/pound range from 7-20

Makita-built motor delivers 200 in.lbs. of Max Torque and 120 in.lbs. of PTI torque in an ultra compact sizeVariable 2-speed design (0-350 & 0-1,300 RPM) covers a wide range of drilling and driving applications- See more at: http://www.makita.com/en-us/Modules/Tools/ToolDetails.aspx?Name=FD02W#sthash.xiAqbM4P.dpufGreat little drill use most of the time in doors.

I don't know the exact torque settings, but with aluminum wheels I run it up on low and use a torque wrench to finish them off

I think so for both of your questions. First make sure the pointer is lined up with the 0 mark, then torque to the line between 300 and 350 inch pounds. If you feel that super precision is necessary for any of your torquing, you might want to consider other types of wrenches. But, prepare to empty your wallet too.

Yes, speed setting limits max speed. Don't know if it affects torque output as well. May be useful if you have a heavy trigger finger, control is good at any setting.

I don't know the factory specs on this motor but I used it as a more reliable upgrade from a different brand 12V, 120RPM motor. The torque of the previous motor was listed as 1100 gm-cm and my subjective guess (by trying to stall it with my fingers) is that this motor is comparable, maybe a little greater. I couldn't find a MTBF (mean time before failure) for it online but plugged one in and let it run with no load. I turned it off after 400+ hours. I also put one on an automatic door I make, which turned it on every half-hour and ran it under load for three minutes. The idea was to simulate opening and closing a door twice a day. It has been a while and I don't remember the exact results but they would have performed that job in excess of three years before I unplugged it. So far, I've been pleased with this motor. Hope this helps.

You can't just set a torque value on this wrench; you have to put it into a memory location. Memory is maintained across power cycles.

i was disappointed with the torque when removing tire lugs, seemed to be about 60 ft/lbs but was using a 1.2ah battery from my cordless drill. I have since bought the recommended 3ah battery but haven't had a chance to try it.

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.
