3/8 and/or 1/2

You actually want two for a knuckle job, one small 3/8" drive for the little stuff, that measures in inch pounds, and one bit 1/2" one that has a range like 20-200 foot pounds.

The big one is more important.

I bet Cube can bring his no problem.

and then if the wrench is a different size than the socket, just an adapter for it to work. I know the one I got from slee was bigger than my wrench so it's got an adapter.

I will bring a torque wrench and fish scale and 1/2 to 3/4 adapter (assuming the pig ass socket is 3/4 drive, we'll know Monday ) I don't bother using a small torque wrench on the small (6mm) fasteners, I just get those "snug".

Whatever is fine. I'd go with the mechanical ones over the ones needing batteries, so you can just throw them in the toolbox and forget about them. The absolute accuracy isn't important, you're going to be measuring the difference between two states.

If the choice was between those, I'd pick the bottom just because I've gotten mine greasy and it'd be easier to clean off the manual one I think.

I can find a pic if you like, but the one I bought from Marlin is straight like that smaller one and it pulls a marker with the scale when your weighing it so when the scale returns to 0, the marker stays at the weight you're trying to find.

Gawd I hate Vista. MS changed the menus/pulldowns for Excel 07 (I'm assuming this change happened with Vista) and it's upsetting 13 years of muscle memory using the previous style of Excel. I wonder if they have a retro menu option

I like the vista here, at least in certain parts where you can see the mountains

I gots that one too. I it.

grrl, you definitely want a longshaft 1/2" inch torque wrench. you will need it to get enough leverage on the caliper bolts. get a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer bit to go with it.

the craftsman 1/2" long shaft torque wrench will work fine and is a good "one stop" basic torque wrench deal. looks like it is not on sale right now which is a shame.

I have the older version of that wrench. It's the standard hobbyist wrench. It's probably what Cube will show up with.

He thought he had run over a toy or a stump so he just kept going until he saw son #2's shoe shoot across the yard. They spent a couple weeks at Ronald McDonald House in the Chatt. They thought they were going to have to amputate about mid shin but the foot and lower leg responded to all the graphs, etc and the kid is doing pretty well. Although he was the most athletic of the family. He lost a portion of the end of his foot and big toe. It was severed at the scene.

Really horrible. Waiting to hear about the conference call.

Similar. Before fuckhead I mean Bob Nardelli took over Home Despot they were trying to steal marketshare from Sears in their hobbyist tool market. I bought a made in 'Merica Husky then. It's been a good torque wrench.

I have three. 1/2, 3/8, and 1/4 in inch pounds. The 3/8 won't stay calibrated. 2 outta three from HF ain't bad.

She probably thinks I am a Trex salesman if she followed the directions and read all these thing anyways.

Oh yeah, sorry I forgot about our pathological fear of clouds. That's gotta be rough.
