Torque Adapters: Are they Worth it??

- Hello Viewers,
This video demonstrates how to setup and use the Quinn torque adapters, and the various sizes they make.
These are pretty handy little tools for the budget minded individual.
I hope you enjoy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
the they need to be recalibrated? And if so, who do you send it to do that?
The advantage for me is I can't fit a traditional torque wrench with a high enough rating in the spaces I need them in.
Good point!
im going to get the 3/8 verzion to change the oil on my motorcycle this weekend thanks
It’s a good deal for a torque device for sure.
Good analysis at the end. If you have one of these, is it worth buying a digital or clicker style torque wrench? I'm debating between just buying one of these to use with a breaker bar for tightening my wheel lug nuts or a clicker torque wrench. Leaning toward this frankly due to cost and it seems like it would be more useful in more situations (like torquing other bolts elsewhere)
The nice thing about these is you DONT need a dedicated clicker torque wrench. You’d probably find that these are a bit more versatile in most situations.
I think there are still plenty of scenarios where a click type would come in handy.
Big one that comes to mind is in a spot where space is limited or on a bad angle.
Thank you for the intro! A quick question, I know we should avoid using a torque wrench to do any nuts loosening jobs, but what about these adaptors? Cuz I see these adaptors have a significantly larger torque range (usually 250ft lb) than the traditional ones so I was wondering it's OK to do so.
It’s probably a good idea to try and avoid that but I don’t think using and adapter to loosen a nut would be horrible for it. Especially for smaller jobs, just make sure you wouldn’t be over torquing something.
I have to say I don't understand why you're asking your question. Just take the torque adapter off of your ratchet that you're attaching this thing on to. Takes just two seconds to do. Why even risk damaging this adapter especially when loosening badly stuck nuts?
Hi i have a question: Want to buy a model in the range of 3.4-340Nm, what if you need to set it to 2Nm? Will such a model show anything below 3.4 or will I have to buy two different ones?
same me want to know this.confius 2-200nm or 3.5-340nm model..wht no adapter can read.can it detect lower as 2nm..n wht mean 3.5?(start detect nm from 3nm?)pliss help me.if can start measure from 2nm 3nm iwnt buy.lower torq i use for motor. high tork for car.so buy 1 only can use all.sorry bad english😅.
Can I use this to ready how much torque a nut/bolt has? I want to change my car shocks and want to make sure I get the correct torque specs when I remove the bolts.
Sure, you’ll need to remember that there may be more friction , rust, oxidation, etc making the fasteners harder to remove but it will show you the max torque you apply to break them loose.
@@DartmechDidn't think about rust but you are right. Thanks man
Do these Torque Adapters have the same 20% accuracy range thing that click type torque wrenches have? Need something accurate for lower torque ranges 12 ft/lbs to 20 ft/lbs
they are way more accurate than click wrenches, especially at lower torque
Get the 3/8 version for that, 1/2 in for lug nuts
I have the 1/2 adapter, it ranges from 25-250 ft lbs, so if I want to torque at say 15 ft lbs I just leave it on trace and watch the display.. am I correct ?
Yeah technically that should work, as long as the screen will go that low.
@@Dartmech cool thanks.
It may not be accurate at all though, those are the ranges at which the company has specified that it is accurate at. If you were to go below those ranges you may or may not be accurate.
I would like a more comprehensive review putting the digital against an analog classic torque wrench and check their accuracy every 10 nm across their total spectrum.
Is the Quinn better (more accurate), than the ACDelco version?
I’m not sure about that. I’d say it’s pretty accurate but the only way to be sure is with expensive tooling. I bet the ACDelco one would be just as good.
You have bolts on your tires? That must make them ride kind of funny.
Can I use this to loosen my stripped bolt on tire?
Sure but it wouldn’t be helping anything. It would tell you the breaking torque but that’s not what you need to know.
If it's stripped get an angle grinder on the job. This won't help with anything at all.
Can this tool be used in combination with a 3/8 torque wrench just for added checks and balances when applying say a low torque? 20 Lbs thx
@@FD-dh2fu It'd be like having 2 watches to confirm the correct time :) If you want an added check you'll need 3 torque wrenches.
