i bought a 1" impact gun and sockets so i can take the wheels off of the newell if i need to. so i wanted a torque wrench that would do the 450-475 foot pounds for the lug nuts.
those babies are expensive!
i kept looking on craigslist and ran across an old ad for a TCI 600 FRN that goes to 600 ft pound. and it was only 20 minutes away which is very unusual considering where i live.
so i went and bought it and got it AND a 1" male to 3/4" female impact adapter for $50 bucks....quite a score. he said he only used it a handful of times in the 8 years he had it and when he did it was on heads of kenworths. so i am assumming it is close to being calibrated.
given i would have had to buy the adapter anyway, and they are 20-25 bucks, i effectively got the torque wrench for 30 bucks. it is BIG and heavy.
life is good
