  1. Fastener torque is the amount you can stretch a bolt joining an assembly in it's plastic range without going into the deformation range. Tightening a drain plug enough to seat the sealing washer is rarely going to need to go into plastic. Any good mechanic knows how tight is tight. Over tightening with lasting heat can just seize the drain plug.

  2. I have one of these, it is older than me, m dad and uncle used it on our Farm Implements, and I used it on ALL my Automobiles, and yes, it is still as accurate, or more accurate than the New DIGITAL Torque Wrenches, and competes well with the Click Wrenches…..

    Maybe sometimes the Older tech is actually Superior……

  3. The Smurfs have asked "do they detect a sight trace of sarcasm" in your comments about K Mart? The only reason they ask is because K Mart is a food supermarket in Holland

  4. You CANNOT Mishandle unt throw around such sensitive equipments, no wundér your Talk setting aré All WRONG 😲😲😵😵😩

  5. 🤣😂LOL thats friggen funny… A+ trolling skills there Ray… I still got one of those Beam Style Torque Wrench also.. and a craftsmen torque wrench, its a classic now… and a newer one with no name – but its a digital torque wrench. it eats battery's just sitting there though.. I turn it off and it will be quit a while before I use it again, and when I go to grab it the battery's are dead.. Its at least 10 years old now…

  6. I didn't know Kmart was still in business. Would have been fun to have you manually/arm/hand/torque/click, then check with Kmart torque wrench… 🙂

    Are you saying you don't have various torque wrenches already? Seems like at least 3/8" ft-lbs and 1/4" in. lbs. would be standard in any mechanic's toolbox.

  7. I tend to use those over the click click type as often as not. Just a nice simple quick quick and easy. Mine must be getting on for 50 Yr old. Was my grandads a life long truck mechanic

  8. I still use my grandfather’s vernier caliper. Almost 100 years old. I’ve checked it against a digital micrometer and it’s still dead on. Just gotta know how to read it!

  9. How high did your elbow go, mine clicks at 95, my shoulder also clicks at 90. Remember underwear is best at k mart, where's that fine Buick convertible. It sounds like they are jealous of something judging your skills, TOO HELL WITH YOU FOOLS, you can't or don't understand skills.

  10. It's funny when youtube 'mechanics' double down on something they don't do properly by saying "I've been doing it like that for 20 years and it worked" Like doing something wrong for 20 years is a thing to be proud of.

    And it's not hand torquing drain plugs, which I also do out of laziness.
