Just found your video 10 years after you posted it. I had to buy a torque angle gauge for some torque to yield bolts on my upper control arms. I wasn't sure how to zero it out or what the arm was for, so thanks for clearly and concisely explaining it. Tackling my project tomorrow, thanks!
Despite wrenching on cars for the past 20 years, I'd never heard of a torque angle gauge before today while working on my car (always something new to learn!) Thanks a ton for the quick, concise, informative video Robert! Well done!
I’m almost in the same exact boat here, my good torque wrench broke when I was cranking like 180 ft lbs on a big ol nut and I didn’t want to guess… so I found this exact type in my bottom drawer of one of my boxes lolol…. and then you go look up how to use them and find 30 min videos breaking down the calculations of density between various metals etc. greatly appreciate the simplicity of your video
I'm 71 years old, and have worked on my own cars since my very first car, before that, I helped my dad work on cars, including tearing down and overhauling various engines, including honing the cylinders, hand-grinding the valves with a spinner and valve grinding compound, etc. Being "old school", and having worked on everything except imports, I had never had to use a torque angle gauge before. Everything i had ever worked on required "X" ft. lbs. of torque for the head bolts and other critical bolts. My mother's 1999 Honda Accord LX, 2.3 liter 4-cylinder engine is the first one I've had to change the head gasket on that requires a torque angle gauge; so I had no idea how to actually use one. Rather than fumble around figuring it out for myself and maybe breaking the gauge in the process, I looked it up and was led to your video. That turned out to be the best decision. I love the way you get right down to business and explain the process and the best way to go about it. After seeing this video, I subscribed to your channel, and I added your video to my Auto Repair playlist. I will be recommending your video to friends and family, on and off of social media. Thank you, Robert, for a well-made video. I wish they had a "thumbs up" and a "big ol' thumbs up". I would definitely give you a "big ol' thumbs up". ;)
Very well explained! I've always done 90 degree TTY bolts, but now I've got to do 80 degree and 51 degree LS main bearing caps. Thank you for making this video explaining how to use this torque angle gauge.
Thanks for the video, like a lot of others in the comments I've been wrenching for years at home and just came across the need for "torque angle". Appreciate the time you took to make a quick explanation
Signed in specifically just to thank you for posting this video. Really helped me for installing the heads on my 01 silverado 4.8. Thank you. It helped so much. Thanx thanx thanx
Very informative, quick and to the point without a lot of extra BS or self promotion. I had never used a torque angle indicator but now I know how. It's so simple. Thank you.
Nice job. Very lean style with practical application knowledge. This gets the information out and I did not have to slog through tons of theory to learn. I can always read more if I need it. It feels like you know how to learn and that makes you a great teacher. Thank you very much!
Just what i needed. I got the angle degree gauge the other day and was wondering what this L shaped pin was about. Thoguth it might be some kind of locking mechanism but wasn't sure. Now I am. Thanks for the upload
Thanks for posting this. I have the same one but it didn't come with any instructions. I didn't know you had to use the "stop". I was trying without it and the dial wouldn't move at all Lol. simple things like that :)
