- In this video I disassemble my Tekton torque wrench to figure out why it stopped clicking. I take apart the torque wrench, re-grease, and reassemble. Very detailed for anyone needing to do this step by step.

Please do a video on "removing grease from the carpet"...
Mothers hate him
pure redneck
90% of comments: grease all over the living room carpet
10% of comments: nice tutorial
Next video he will repack wheel bearings on the fresh bed linen
You win, I couldn't stop laughing
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
😂😂😂
I kept thinking of his mom yelling.... "Jared! Did you get grease on my carpet!?"
Many thanks for this video. My torque wrench was about to be scrapped as I could hang off it without it clicking. Your help, twenty minutes and a little grease and it's working again 🙂.
it happened to me just like you
A big thank you for sharing this video. I was about to through out my proto wrench. I watched this video and repaired my torque wrench.
Certainly you are a Bob Ross of torque wrench. Thanks for the show.
Your wife must love you tearing that greasy torque wrench apart on the living room carpet.
😂😂
Wife, not so much.
Mom, definitely!
Steven Davis he bangs her right on it while calling you’re name out 😂
@@rahrah8076 you prat. Is that all you could think of to say?
He had drop clothes everywhere else except for where he was working
Your video has possibly saved my life man
I needed to disassemble the torque wrench to see why locking mechanism doesn't turn all the way, this video helped me a lot. Thank you!
You’re a real one. Thanks for taking the time to make this bud.
You rock. I was so overwhelmed by this tool. Don't understand it really, but I can fix it, so thanks.
I have the shorter version of this TW and you helped me repair and calibrate it. Thanks. Note to future self "Don't bang on TW with a hammer in frustration trying to break loose a nut"
Once you take one apart, you should check the calibration on it. It should click within 15% -/+ of what you have it set for. Always take the wrench back to zero after use to remove tension on the spring.
Your wife probably loved how you were working with grease on the carpet lol thanks for a video I learned a few things 👍
Thank you sir. I had a newer inch torque wrench that stopped clicking. Thanks to you, I was able to fix it and not have to buy another one.
Thanks a lot. Your video help me to fix my torque wrench. Nice clear instruction.
Outstanding video bud! Thanks for helping me fix my wrench! I had made the mistake of storing my wrench all the way down below zero and that locking pin popped out.
This video makes me feel a lot better about the cheapo great neck torque wrench that I just took apart and serviced, the guts on the inside are exactly the same as what Tekton uses on their torque wrenches.
Thanks for the video. You saved my torque wrench! My wrench wouldn’t click. I thought it was broken. Had no idea you could service these things. Why would you disassemble this on a rug?
Thanks, this really helped with my uncooperative torque wrench.
Clearly, this is what I need to do. Thanks for the video.
Great video, I also suggest a very small amount of blue threadlocker on the final hex set bolt threads.
Thx for all the details great video and very explained
Excelente descripción y video, me sirvió mucho.
Gracias
Thanks
Thank you. Your video helped me fixing mine. I almost had it thrown away
I keep my Gearwrench torque in my garage and probably because is not heated the grease got thicker and I couldn’t here it clicking so I took my wife’s hair dryer and set it up on low high for a good 15 minutes and it worked!!!
Ok, now that is very interesting!
As I mentioned about, all these wrenches coming in from China are having the NO CLICK issue right out of the box and not even in the cold.
I really have to wonder if they are using a cheap, really thick/sticky grease.
I wonder what type of grease a person could find that is very thin and light and doesn't get thick or hard at any time, especially when cold.
hmmm
Subscribed. Very nice and informative. Thanks!
Excellent video...Well explained!
Amazing video! Thank you!!!
Thanks for this video.
Now this has me wondering if THIS BAD GREASE thing might be one of the reason that so many of these lower priced ones, coming in from China, are having major problems with the "NO CLICK" issue. It's amazing how many reviews on so many makes and models have this problem of no click happening and people breaking bolts off and damaging stuff.
I bought 2 of these last week.
The smaller one was 1/4", Inch Pounds. It never clicked at all. I tried to test it on my vise, but due to no click, I wasn't sure how hard I should push it. I pushed it hard to see if that would free it up and the danged thing split the vise in half! It actually broke the entire base (white metal).
I just returned both of them without testing the 3/8" one.
THEN I checked reviews, something I should have done first as it turns out. I was shocked to see that more than 1/2 of the reviews.... in fact, the majority, were all complaining about the exact same thing! NO CLICK and the breaking of bolts.
So, now I wonder if the problem might be that these cheap factories might be using bad grease or overly sticky grease that may be causing the problem.
ORRRRR
after seeing how JR inserted first the "click part", making sure that it was aligned with that front part where they meet to make the click, I then wonder now if perhaps THAT is the problem (or part of multiple problems) that from factory, the click roller thingy isn't even inserted properly.
Let's just be honest here. One reason so many products from China are sub standard is the sheer lack of QUALITY CONTROL!
In fact, on Amazon, there is what LOOKS like a really nice kit. What I like about it is that instead of shiny chrome, it's black with yellow letters and those guide things.
It's also Tekton, but again, LOTS of the EXACT SAME BAD REVIEWS of NO CLICK.
I'm tempted to order one and take it apart to see if it's an easy fix with totally cleaning out that grease and repacking with a lighter type of grease.
hmmmmm
Thank you so much.
Thanks! It worked for me!
Very nice video
Great Job
Show , gostei muito do vídeo , I lovy the video , I'm from Brasil .
This came in handy, thanks
Thank you 😊
Gran trabajo
Thank you! My wrench was stuck. Only took under 10 minutes to fix. Just wonder how much the specs are off at this point. Prolly still close enough.
Excelente video
Desde Nicaragua
Thanks
Thank you so much
Very nice video I didn't find like this in you tube, detailed. Because I lost the bottom portion I wonder the size of the thread so O can replace it. If any help I'll appreciated thank you anyway.
do i need to take off the top part just to unscrew the handle? I just want to take the handle of to grease the thread of it.
Thanks mate!!
Great video! With my Tekton torque wrench, I've noticed that no matter how much I tighten the locking mechanism at the bottom of the handle, the handle still has a bit of play. I shouldn't move at all I don't think. Do you think if I tightened the hex screw on the locking mechanism, that will fix the issue?
Much appreciated, I took mine apart because of no clicks and it was missing the ball bearings on that last piece. Any idea what size ball bearings it uses?
Thank you and Well done.............followed instruction but stll no click (torque setting).............so will strip it down and try again...............bye the way........do you know what the two pins in the threaded section, which screws into the handle twist grip do................mine are missing............Appreciated........Ron
my torque head is not totally straight with the body , can i adjust that with the allen screw on the side
Nice to see it was backed off after last use !!!
Anyone know how to fix the black adjuster on the bottom mine is frozen? Autozone claims it has no warranty. I cant use it on low torque settings because the adjuster is too loose it only tightens and hols the torque I want on higher settings.
How do you know if the preload to the spring is correct?
So was it not working before and now you cleaned the clicking mechanism now it does work ?
Suggestion to Call Team Torque for TW Parts and for torque wrench calibration
Ok so where do the batteries go? Mine came with batteries and a tube of grease.. tekton 24335 right? Mine looks different though and says it has 3 vibration settings but i cant find the 1/2 inch adaptor that fits the head.. ya know, i wonder if my wife switched our gifts.. godamnit now im going to have to clean it before it starts to get crusty.. keeping this grease though, wonder where youd buy scented grease at? Never heard of Forher brand..
I have two Tekton torque wrenches that have this issue. I tried regreasing the larger one but still no dice. I submitted a warranty claim and they sent me two new wrenches, no questions asked.
My torque wrench just does the opposite. It clicks easily at whatever torque I set (ex. I set it at 140lb to torque the tire of my truck just to test it and it would click without using much force.. I'm not that strong:)). Does it mean my torque wrench is broken, or there's still a way to fix it.. ? Appreciate it if I could have an answer.
You know there is a point where you say to heck and just go buy a new one. That for me happened about the time you said one of these tools for the c-clip. Nicely done though.
Great Video - but now you have to calibrate it using that threaded collar at the end.
Nice idea doing fiddly job over carpet, it'l stop small parts bouncing away like the do on my wife's lace tablecloth.
Gotta love the big WARNING sticker out disassembly and improper calibration around 9:44. Nice job, but how do you know it is calibrated?
Watch my other video on calibration
@@JRobling I did later see it. Well done! Thanks.
Just a little tip, though pliers are made to pull the other way.
Will the torque wrench need to be recalibrated afterwords since you are taking everything apart?
Yes
Someone please send him a parts mat. Great video though. Thanks.
please show how to do calibration.
th-cam.com/video/xZID9uOy7qU/w-d-xo.html
You must have StainMaster carpet...
How about calibration
Store it in minimum setting will destroy it. Already have 2 destroyed, that is stop clicking at lower settings. What happens at minimum setting is the adjustment nut in the handle locks up and clicking disappeared at low settings. Should store it with spring slightly compressed, YMMV. This applies for the Craftsman and Kobalt, not idea about Tektron, a different design. Had click styles and digital failed. I think beam and analog dial are more reliable. Maybe will tryout a split beam next, I hear its more reliable with 2% accuracy.
Will you need to recalibrate it afterwards?
Yes, that is why I made another video on how to calibrate it.
th-cam.com/video/xZID9uOy7qU/w-d-xo.html
J Robling the
Yes!
My old torque wrench handle would turn while I tightened the bolt. How do I fix that. The new one does the same thing but not as bad.
Example: I am set for 20 lbs as I tightened the bolt I noticed the handle was now on 40 lbs.
This only happens on the low lb settings
Do you tighten the locking screw (at the end of the wrench) after setting the torque?
@@ianbarnes961 Yes, on the new one, I found out, that they can't be stored at a high setting. It messes up the spring. I backed the new one to the lowest setting and let it sit for a day or two. It works. The old one,well no hope.
Thank you for your help
Very informative video. I have a torque wrench where the locking nut is no longer loose and is extremely difficult to turn. Is it the hex screw that needs to be loosened? If so, does the wrench need to be re-calibrated? Thanks!
I'm telling mom you got grease on the carpet!
nonononono!
Greasy tools on the carpet ..... its killin me !
When you put the Torque wrench away after using it and back the pressure off, the little lock knob at the bottom, should that be locked on or off?
It is just a lock like you said, so it doesn't matter its position
Nice video, thanks! I bet your wife loved you doing greasy work on her carpet!!!
Floop
Put a carboard or newspaper down to cover the nice clean rug next time, man. Also helps find parts easier if you dropped them.
Do you think a guy could avoid rebuilding these things if he were to pour a li'l air tool oil in the ratchet end once-in-a-while? Over his living room carpet, of course! ;)
U sure u want tool Grease in your carpet?
You didnt consider to take the measurement of the thread before disassembling the whole thing
Good video but I hope that's a carpet scrap or ur wife's going to cry or holler at you.
After that show next video calibration
Already have
I lost the pin 🤬 I messed around with my wrench for 2 hours, finally found this video and lost the pin. Curses!!!
Why did you do this on your carpet?
Accuracy = Gone.
You have schmutz in the plastic cover for the can of grease, the cover that it designed to keep schmutz out of the can of grease. Put the cover on the can, and schmutz can get into the grease. Not good! Clean the cover before you put it on the can! I bet you forgot to do that last time. Great explanation by the way, of disassembling and assembling a springy-dingy clicky-type of torquerizer. But use clean grease! How does one CALIBRATE this torquerizer thing, by the way? After you disassemble it and lube it up nice, you probably need to recalibraate it. And that threaded nipple at the handle end, that threads into something, and that the end cap thread over - how far in does one thread the nipple, before putting the end cap on? Or perhaps maybe it does not make a lot of difference, as long as it is threaded in far enough to have a good grip and not tear the threads and pull out when you thread the cap on?
The laugh
That stupid autofocus is driving me mad
As someone who was involved in videography for a long time, I remember when Auto Focus became a thing.
At first, I thought that it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. LOL
At least, in those days, there was an option to enable or disable AF easily.
But it seems that these cameras now either don't have an button to enable/disable it OR if there is a way, it's way down in some menu and a pain to get to.
IF there is an option to disable, these people making videos should consider disabling it then manually focusing in on the work area.
There's no need to fight with that stupid mechanism.
Sorry dude. couldn't get past the Channellock's and pipe wrench to service a torque wrench. You probably shouldn't be taking it apart.
Your video has possibly saved my life man
