How do you do this without getting carpaltunnel? 3x on my 50-250 ftlb torque wrench honestly kills my wrists. Honest question, any tips?

Use either a wrench or a socket set and ratchet on the nut at the bottom of the torque wrench.

I got a 3/8 Pittsburgh click torque wrench from Harbor Freight a week ago and as soon as I did this test and took it to zero it broke. I got another one because of lifetime warranty and tried the test again just for it to make a gritty sound around 10ft-lbs and got stuck and could not move it in either direction at all regardless of the lock knob being open. Now my 3rd one I just did it again! Felt something move inside it and went to test it at 5ft-lb on a wheel lug nut and it won't click or move, it kinda makes a "dink" sound. Tomorrow I'm going for a 4th. Is it Pittsburgh? Me? Or Harbor Freight?

I borrowed my uncles. I try to twist it and when it got to 120 it became harder to turn. I needed 132 so I turn it a couple of more times, and it broke. I didn't know. Never used one. I guess he didn't exercise his. Now I have to replace it.

Exercising a click type torque wrench is maxing out the setting and clicking it 6 times.
@K03sport
10 ай бұрын
I thought the exercise part was once you have the wrench set to maximum, you click it 6x (to tighten); then switch to loosen and click it 6x. that was in the USAF's Precision Measurement Equipment Laboratory (PMEL) T.O. by running the handle up and down, you are just loading up the mechanism and you aren't actually making it do work (actual act of moving the wrench to the click)

The best advice! What about making it click at the highest torque as part of the exercising? Or isn't it necessary? I found it the hard way that you need to exercise the tool if you want it to click at the lowest torque setting, otherwise it doesn't click at the lowest setting and damage threads.

... yep, you are correct. the wrench should be clicked 5x or 6x at max setting in both directions if the wrench is bi-directional. also the wrench is best used in the middle 80%; so a 20-150 lbft wrench is best btwn 35-135 lbft

@@mikeprice8307 I set it up at the highest setting which is around 100 Nm ( a 3/8 torque wrench), and than I look for the highest torque bolt on my motorcycle which is one located at the steering, below the speedometer and in the middle of the suspension, and I just tighten that bolt (in reality is not being tighten is it does so at a slightly higher setting) and make the tool click around 12 times haha to play it safe, and then it's ready to tighten the lowest torque bolts. I will click regardless. Whether you don't do this before, it won't click at the lowest settings. Either way is better to have several wrenches, I bought a 1/4 wrench as well for the really low torque bolts.
