I need to get a 1/2" torque wrench and was looking for some opinions. I have noticed that some go up to 150 ft/lb while others go up to 250 ft lb.
1) Is there anything on an f-body that would require any where close to 150? (I understand that they become less accurate as you approach the limits) 2) What are you opinions on husky vs craftsman? Would you even consider getting one of the Made in China cheapies? Thanks, |

If I remember right, the ls1 crank pully needs to be seated to something like 240ft lbs (which is pretty difficult to achive under the car on low profile ramps) on the old bolt or something before a nwe bolt is put in wiht something like 37 ft lbs.
so there would be an application for the bigger one. personanly have have a craftsman 1/2" that does 150. i rent one from autozone that can do 250 when i need it. |
