What annoys the ***** outta you/pisses you off...

Shlt. I just realized I have to buy another TQ. wrench. The two I have are one in inch pounds and the other only goes up to 80 ft. lbs. I need one that goes over 100 ft. lbs. I think instead of the clicker types I have it's time to go.... DIGITAL!!!
I have a manual swap on the ice. I'm also gonna be shopping for those soon.

Buy a good one, none of that harbor freight shit and you'll only ever need one. I've had my Craftsman for 20 years.
 
My oldest and best pair of locking pliers is a Kobalt. I don't see any digital Husky wrenches over 100 ft lbs. There is a nice looking Craftsman for $209 at Lowe's.
Mines just the standard clicking type. I'm hard on my tools, Id probably f*CK up a digital one. I don't have the slightest idea how much I paid for it, been to long

I figure I rarely torque stuff over 100ft.lbs. so it should last a while. There are air tools here but I like to put wheels back on and use a tq. wrench to the correct specs. I had an old fashioned one with the needle and dial but what a pain to read as you tq a lug nut.

Yeah I have one of those to for smaller stuff. They can be very temperamental and become inaccurate really quick if they are not taken care of. I never use air tools to tighten wheels. My torque wrenches are mainly used for building engines.

I did at Tire Kingdom. We used torque sticks but still followed up with torque wrenches which were double checked by a second employee with a torque wrench before signing off on the tires. Sometimes I miss being a tire and lube tech.

Are you the type of builder who loves porting and polishing heads so much that you do it for free?
