Yes it takes less force to loosen a bolt, this is only to test the rundown feature which claims it can achieve 100% of the torque. So if thats true set at 100Ft-lbs I should see near that not 32Ft-lbs, or 9 when its set to 25. Yes removal will always be less on most fasteners unless there is rust. This is not a normal bolt, Its a rundown fine thread loaded bolt.
@tool.follower2813
Жыл бұрын
Another way to check. Take a digital torque wrench set well above what the bolt should be. Then KEEP TIGHTENING the bolt until is starts to give/move. Stop and look at the value shown on the torque wrench. You can mark the socket with a sharpie to make tracking easier. That gets around all the pesky bolt variables. Nice work overall!
@Nivek_the_Relic
Жыл бұрын
There are several reasons a torque wrench can be out of range when you buy it, like was it dropped in transport? Did you hold the wrench still when it was turned on? Also, the run down function is not meant to set to the correct torque, it's supposed to get the bolt close, so you can finish by hand to the correct torque. Read the instructions. Also also, you didn't mention the last time your test rig was calibrated.

I liked your video. I used to work for a small engine manufacturer and we always did our QA torque checks in the tightening direction. It's more accurate than in the reverse direction. The only way you can check for sure is to use a torque transducer on the tool while you're tightening because dynamic torque that the tool is reading is different than static torque needed to break away in one direction or the other. Found that last bit out the hard way.

lets be fair here, backoff torque is not directly equivalent to tightening torque. takes less torque to undo a bolt that it does to tighten to that spec. that part of your testing was inaccurate. abetter test would be to try to continue tightening the bolt with another tool and, as an automotive tech, none of my tolerance specs are closer than +/-3%, and this tool is absolutely not designed for "mechanic" use. its made for high voltage electricians who generally use low torque values with somewhat looser tolerances. its really not far off +/-3%, so for my own use, this would be good enough. #ContextRequired

Really disappointing. I had been waiting for Milwaukee to make one for the automotive industry, but finally gave up.

Yeah I’d like to see them put out one more geared for automotive too, this one seems to be more for an electrician or something similar iirc

Milwaukee 'bout to burn down a whole Chinese factory now. That sucks. I thought it looked cool but seemed more like a industrial electricians torque wrench rather than a mechanics torque wrench so I didnt bother but foot pounds are foot pounds and this thing might as well be a super extended length overpriced Milwaukee M12 ratchet. Honestly i hope you just got a defective unit but in my opinion Milwaukee should have never started at this price point with this much tech. To my knowledge this is their first torque wrench, why didn't they start with a basic click one like Dewalt so they can work out kinks in their manufacturing?!

Yep I agree they should have never started with this advanced of a wrench. It's weird to me they focused on electricians for this , I would have thought a bigger market would be mechanics. Hopefully I did receive a defective one and normally they are accurate as they claim.

Milwaukee are never a torque tool maker. These are so useless they can't do angles. Best wrench maker Is English made Norbar. They are way beyond SnapOn etc.
