Just because someone has always done something a particular way, doesn't mean it's right.

I agree.

It’s also surprising how little actual physical force it takes to apply 140Nm with a torque wrench. Way less than would normally feel ‘right’ on a thread that size and that’s with a lever length on a torque wrench less than most breaker bars. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

I must say, despite the likelihood of my buying anything called a torque do me good, never mind using one. That’s ALL absolutely fascinating. Thanks.

Interesting how reducing friction is given so much weight when avoiding additional friction caused by corrosion is overlooked.

I wont get into the debate on whether to use an impact gun or not but for me I have 3 or 4 depending on the torque required and the space available. I use all Milwaukee as I am on that platform for years and one of my favourite recent purchases was the 90 degree right angle impact wrench. Ideal for getting into the tighter spots.

haha Andy, see in my house buying new tools actually counts towards gifts for her as I get to fix the Rover and she gets to steal it on icy days for work so I guess thats a win win, that said I advise all people to stop buying gifts for valentines!

I have a Makita DTW300Z. It's a great little impact wrench, brushless motor and a small form factor so you can get into tight spaces with it. Fastening torque is 330Nm and nut busting torque is 580Nm. Kev
