I found this video to be very helpful. I now know how to properly set my torque wrench. Thank you!
Quick question tho. What are the dash marks between each number?
*Good **MyBest.Tools** value compaired to other brands*
As far as I know, the reason there is a left and right torque option… is because there is a left and right tightening thread. They are not meant to loosen bolts, only to tighten them.
Right, so what is the difference for the wrench when you’re tightening a left thread or loosening a right thread bolt? So far no one could come up with a good reason for why it shouldn’t be used for that and people who never turned a wrench in their life just spread internet myths. Force is applied to the bolt regardless of what you’re trying to do so as long as you don’t exceed the maximum strength of the wrench I don’t see any reason how one could damage anything by loosening bolts with a torque wrench.
adjustable breaker bar
@georgebtro the reason you don't use a torque wrench as as a breaker bar is for the reason you provided. Yes force or torque is applied wether tightening or breaking but as someone who's job it is to "turn a wrench" you have absolutely no idea how much torque it would take to break a bolt/nut especially if you didn't touch it prior. There are some threads that through actions self tighten. While you could always set the wrench to max just use a breaker bar. That's what's for and much cheaper than a torque wrench. I'd rather snap my 25$ 25" breaker bar than my 125$ 20" torque wrench.
@@Jfjs58-g the reason is because the manufacturers tell you not to!!! Not an Internet myth, it’s using one’s intelligence to read the user notifications or manual
@@clapclapscream ok but why is that? Any logical explanation for that? You see that’s exactly the kind of things you see on forums, people who never turned a wrench in their life tell you how to do things.
Great video! Direct, to the point, good camera angles, no BS intro music and real life applications after instruction. Keep up the good work.
The reason some torque wrenches go both ways is to torque left or right hand threads. A lot of older vehicles had directional lug nuts on the left and right sides.
Never understood why people would think it's a good idea to break with a torque. Length maybe?
Very thorough instructional video on how to set the DeWalt Torque Wrench (No.DWMT75462). I just purchased the DeWalt Tire Change Kit (No.DWMT17107) which includes this exact DeWalt Torque Wrench and before I read the instructions on the proper use of it, I decided to find a video to watch first, then read the instructions included with the kit. Your video is spot on and makes it simple to understand. I’ve never owned a torque wrench, but have needed one for years when rotating my tires. So, I finally bought one. The kit I bought was such a better deal than just buying the torque wrench itself. The breaker bar along with the five metric deep well sockets and very sturdy case for it all is a very good value. And yes, never use a torque wrench for breaking fasteners loose, that’s what a “breaker” bar is used for. The torque wrench is an instrument to measure torque with.
By far the most helpful video I’ve never used one of these and this helps out so much thank you.
Thank you for your informative & straight to the point video. I feel confident to use a torque wrench successfully. 👌🙌
Great video. The best explaining with closing into the tool. I finally got it.
I used th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4ynqaujg7rZKFapA8s29kTpRszJGa3-K this for the first time today to replace the front wheel bearing on my rwd 98 dodge dakota. This had absolutely no issue removing or reinstalling the lug nuts and it took off the axle nut without any struggle. Sounds like it's got some muscle to it. Time will tell
Great video!! I really appreciate how you kept it simple and informative. Because of your video I now feel confident to actually use my wrench the next time I do some work on the cars, instead of estimating the torque based on how much I grit my teeth!
This video was very informative and helpful. Now i know how to set my torque wrench. Thank you
Very good straight forward video explaining it in a quiet calm manner without advert interruptions or silly intros. Very helpful, thank you.
Very helpful. Finally I understand how to set . Thanks for video.
I picked up one of the Icon 1/2 drive tq wrench's not to long ago. Heard really good things about them. Have not used it much at all but It looks as though its built really well.
Great job. Set my wrench and got the job done. Thanks
Thanks for the video best one I’ve seen without over complicating
Already knew how to use one, but needed a refresher, and don’t get much more clear then this video
Man you explained exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Thanks. I have been wondering about the upper/lower mark deal for 30 plus years. Now I know.
Thanks. Very well explained. Answered my questions.
I've only ever used a digital torque wrench mines goes up to 80Ft/lb with different settings for NM, in-lbs etc. Got a twisting torque wrench.. for rent for higher torque the only thing that confused me was if the bottom line was the torque setting or the upper... this helped explain it's the bottom line.
Yes. I only use torque wrenches for tightening. Never for loosening.
Nice clear video, just showing my son because you know it doesn’t happen if TH-cam doesn’t have a video on it. Just one quick point. Torque wrenches aren’t for breaking nuts and bolts free, they to tighten in both directions, right hand threads and left hand threads. Using it to break a bolt free will at best knock it out of calibration, at worst damage it
Correct. I did say not to use it to break things loose, but failed to mention reverse thread torque situations
Tnx from India for easily explained
Thank you, I felt like that was something I just should have known but I didn't. After watching your video I totally get it!!😊
Thank you very precise teaching. I have to practice now
Very helpful video right when I needed it! Thank you sir
Very well explained. Thank you!
Thank you for explaining. Have a great day
Thank you sir you make my life v easy God bless you
It was very helpful. Thank you.
Really nice video thanks for sharing, now I’m ready to use mine
Awesome video Danny! Very helpful 👍🏻
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tutorial!
Excellent explanation, thanks!
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you brother. I appreciate you 🤙🤙🤙 aloha from Hawaii
Nice one, well understood. Thank you ❤
Nice Mach. My father had a 2003 automatic Mach in yellow. It was garaged with 4k on it. One of 145 Yellow autos. We had the chrome mach 1 wheels too from 03. He sold everything for 18,500 in 2019 when nobody wanted them.
thnx buddy I was so worried how am I going to do this but now I know I will do thanx again
Thank you man I you were very clear and specific on explaining how to set your torch wrench.
Ty so much
Wow! This is a very good video. Simplified and properly explained and demonstrated. Thanks for sharing this video.

Great job! Thank you!
What a great review, some excellent tips as well.
Your video helped me big Time thanks broski.
Loved this thanks definitely helpful
Thanks, exactly what I needed to know.
Good video thanks, and I love your Mach1.
Thank you very much for this clarification, I have used a torque wrench all my life but only recently realized that I wasn't sure on this type of graduated scale, I was not sure if you started at the bottom of the squiggly line for 100 as example, or if you used the top of the squiggly line and then started 101,102,103 ...etc.
Thx man i was searching for this. This was really helpful.
I was told a different (wrong) way to ready it….it cost me a valve cover bolt…
Thanks Mr. Crystal clear instruction
Great stuff made it clear
Helped me. Thanks
Thanks
Very well done video...I think you're a good teacher!
Thank you
Cool video! I’ve been using a torque wrench for years but I was trying to find one of that style since the Tekton ones I’ve owned are both the type with a screw on the bottom.
Thank you
Well done.
Thank you!
Thanks bud helped a lot
Thoroughly enjoy your videos. I used your video on removing a rear axle on my 1999 GT. Replaced all 4 control arms, springs, shocks, axle bearings and differential cover. Great confidence builder, so allow me to express my appreciation and gratitude. Thanks, and keep up the great job.
Side note, any engine removal in the near future? Also doing headers and K member in November, an engine support bar video would help immensely.
Thanks for the comment 🙏🏼 Yes, I have a video with the engine support bar for motor mounts. 90% of what you’ll need th-cam.com/video/lmwfvgziAxs/w-d-xo.html
Also, here is a full list of repair videos for the Mustang th-cam.com/play/PLIjr-uSYDZi7hBrphoRniyYjb707PpPTu.html
Man just saw your shoes! I had three pairs of those and I miss them... Thanks for the video really helpful.
I buy them on eBay whenever I can find them. I have about 6-7 pairs I’ve worn over the years . 👍🏼
Loved this video definitely helpful subscribed an saved
I'm glad if found your video, I have a snap on torque wrench. However I what are the half measurements? For example say I wanted to set the torque at 157.
I like these much more than digital 👍
Thanks man 👍
Liked & subscribed, thank you for making this video, take care, Aloha, Kenneth
thank you.
Man thank you !!!!!!
Exercised three times at full scale first, then use.
I have another question if that is fine so I notice I have a rattle in 1st and 2nd gear when I’m at 2000 rpm to around 2500 ish And only under load and it seems louder when it’s cold I am thinking timing chain but I want to be sure and if you got any advice or videos on that. Thank you a ton and if that is the problem let me know if you got any videos on timing or getting into the 4 valve Mach engine :)
thank you so much. I got a torque wrench and I did not know how to adjust it. It has ft. lbs and Nm. I believe I can still use it for my bike when putting on the cassette to the back wheel.. of not..buy another one.
So I'm trying to do a righty tighty but the wrench says on or off. I put it on right? (To put the drain plug back on)
Excellent instructions 👍🏻
I’m glad you enjoyed it. I did mention not to use it to break fasteners loose, but one thing I did not mention is it has the reverse direction selector to torque reverse thread bolts.
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage It’s still a very well instructed video, 9.5 out of 10 😉
Honestly I’ve only used a torque wrench for valve cover replacement but other than that just make sure it’s hand tight, never had an issue. Been working on cars for years.
Most of the time I do the same unless it’s very important
Good video
Torque wrench settings all well and good after a long spell. Don't forget to use master clock.
The extension bar can affect the specified torque number chosen. A direct socket is more reliable.
Very true
would be interesting to see a test, direct socket vs 5-10 extension bars (fixed, not pivoting ofc). Is there any difference in the rotational force applied?
What should I give my dogs
Exelent
Nice Mach 1, I miss my Azule Blue one.
My brother has an Azure blue one. It’s awesome
got it
Once you have pulled the sleeve to move it to a higher torque level, do you need to lock the instrument in in its torque set level? Will it move and change while in use?
Yes
I just bought one and it does not click no matter what setting it is on, it is basically just functioning as a breaker bar. hard to imagine it would be no good straight out of the box.
Do you think a digital torque ranch is better to work with? I’m planning on getting one. What do You recommend?
I imagine they both work, but the digital lets you know when you are almost to spec instead of waiting for the click and possibly over-tightening it.
When using NM does it matter where the fine adjuster thing is? I put it on 0 on the NM side and it stripped the thread. Is it because it was too much on the FP side and does the FP side have to be on 0 to have the correct torque on the NM side?
The scale should be the same starting at zero on each side for NM or FT-LBS
I went blind looking at those scales
The only thing that I will say is maybe the wrench doesn’t need to go to zero. Example, I have a husky it was factory set to 30lbs so I just set it to that
Why your switch is set to left if you want to tighten clockwise? I am asking because it is still not clear to me.
It can be set to tighten regular bolts or reverse thread bolts
@@dannyjohnsonsgarageok but I see that some people has this switch one left others on right and everyone wants to tighten the wheel. I am just wondering what happens if this switch is set wrong way? I guess we should hear this rattling noise when nothing happens. When it is quiet it means we are tightening the screw. Right?
So how did you torque down the security bolt?
The key for it has the hex end that the same size socket goes on
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage 👍
Missed 1 bolt on the truck with the 6 bolt pattern and did almost the rest of them twice.
I usually go around to all of them in order once I have torqued them down evenly with the star pattern
bruh i been tightening stuff 10IB higher then I thought ;-;
👍
What number for Honda Odyssey 2010 please
I am finding 94 foot pounds for the wheel lug nuts if that’s what you’re asking for. Please verify in your owners manual
👍👍...jc
This is the way I have been setting my torque wrench. But after reading a very long post on Reddit, seems there are two ways to interpret the scale. People claiming to be metrologist who calibrates instruments for a living, people claiming to be aircraft mechanics or nuclear submarine mechanics, and they cannot agree on the correct method!! In fact most people are saying that the bottom of the range marked by 100 is actually 90, and 100 is right opposite the digits of 100. Very confusing!
If you count the rotations from zero it ends up being at the bottom of the line, but it’s possible different brands do differently
@@dannyjohnsonsgarage Found the instructions for my wrench. The procedure is definitely as you describe it. Wierd that a lot of mechenics are probably doing it wrong!!
