There are many publications out there that have printed it wrong I guess. It sure would be easy to prove.
After reading the last 10 pages, the only way I would use this product would be with the wrench at 90 degrees from the adapter..... easy to do with this application. At least it's not a primer or F/P issue......................:D |

You got it wrong, sorry It's already been explained correctly a few times. The nut sees a torque of applied force * distance from handle to nut. The wrench gauge sees a torque of applied force * distance from handle to drive end of wrench. So correction is the ratio of those lengths. Put the crowsfoot at 90 degrees; the lengths are the same so the correction is zero. |

Many of these posts are pretty humorous, I wonder if I use a large red font if it will have more impact...
It is interesting to see various responses and who makes them; I must be the dumbest guy in the forum; perhaps PI really is 3. "Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?" http://youtu.be/zrzMhU_4m-g ![]() |

I bet there are a ton of AN bolts under and over torqued out there... :eek:

Larry, this is great, this is the closest I've seen to someone actually laying out a mathematical argument for a constant conversion factor.
Now my question is, if this is a good argument, why not apply to a torque wrench that reads inch-pounds. Just change foot to inch: Quote:
OK so far? --Paul |
Allan,
New Service Bullet SB 2012-2-14 For everyone purchasing this wrench, do your own math calculations for torque value. :D |
So tell me, wise ones...
A click wrench uses a spring and pawl, which releases when the desired torque setting is hit. This compressed spring is calibrated to match ft/lbs., which is based on one pound of force, at one foot from the pivot point. The one foot is only a measurement of force. The wrench does not have to be a foot long. How is this spring going to know, if you're grasping the wrench at the exact same spot on the shaft. Does it care? No it doesn't! The force you apply at the handle depending on length, varies. But the spring just doesn't care. It's going to release at the setting it's set to...........which is based on one pound at one foot, for ft/lb settings. edit: And I'm going to add a 100' extension, pulled by block and tackle, connected to a cement truck.................and the spring still won't care, or notice the difference!!!! It will just merely click, when it reaches the set point.. L.Adamson |
