300lb torque wrench !!! (1 Viewer)

[Fj80oregon]

Anybody in Portland Oregon or close by have a 300ftlb torque wrench I can borrow to torque my crank pulley bolt down? The store wants 45$ for rental for the day. And I can’t justify buying one since I already have 2.

Harbor Freight if it's close enough. 90 day no questions asked return policy.

$45 isn't too bad for two pulls.

Not what you asked, but I bought this one, used it a couple times already.

Check you tube for videos on increasing the range of an existing torque wrench. Some really good ideas there.

I don't get it.. you rent the tool for $45, return said tool and get your $45 back.. O'reillys, Autozone and Advance have the same tool program

I believe 300ftlb = 2.5 seconds of 1/2in impact from hand tight. I don’t have my chart in front of me, but I believe that also converts to 3 grunts on the 36in cheater bar.

I have one in Battle Ground, WA. PM me if you want.

I wish all the auto parts stores only have wrenches that go to 250ftlb. I am going to a tool rental place where you rent with no return.

I just went through this same thing and ended up buying one from Summit Racing for $175

6 foot pipe and a spring scale that reads to at least 50 pounds.

The tech spec is: Tight as ****

Yea, if I see a torque spec over 200 I’m going to assume they just mean “get that f*cker singing tight”

jk sounds important, best use the wrench

Yah that's what I was thinking but since it runs the oil pump and power steering pump I figure I better be safe.

Another option is a digital torque adapter on a breaker bar
