I’m nowhere near an HF today, man…
You will love that torque wrench. 40% off is a freakin' steal.
Not a chance.25" is not enough?
That's where the digis are cool because they'll show you ultimate torque after moving the prescribed degrees.Not a chance.
Also too I looked up the initial torque setting. It's 200nm or 147lb/ft. That's tight - but another 180 degrees is required after that.

I don't even want to know what the ultimate torque was because it was scary high. And because they are torque to yield, one time use, stretch bolts, when you torque the final 45 or 90 degrees you'll feel the wrench go soft, as if it's being stripped. Not a good feeling but that's the way they cinch up.That's where the digis are cool because they'll show you ultimate torque after moving the prescribed degrees.
However I realize most digis wouldn't work here because they'd be too short and I'd never put a cheater on a TW
90+90 using a 1/2" digital torque wrench never had any issues...That's where the digis are cool because they'll show you ultimate torque after moving the prescribed degrees.

I would love to get one too but I got used to my 1/2' impact wrench, and I know exactly how much to tighten the lug nuts, otherwise I use the 1/2" digital torque wrench for other suspension needs, and 3/8" snap-on digital torque wrench for everything else.
I got one too but it was available at the first store I went to, it was hidden in the back. It is a high theft item (I will never under theft...)Went to 5 diff Harbor Freights, there were 2 left HAPPY!

I know the ones that take a 19mm allen socket work out to be about 300-325 lb.ft. I had to borrow an angle TW from a friend who does trucks. A real PITA and when the bolt head is all rusted and the hex rounds out it gets to be real fun and games removing it.I don't even want to know what the ultimate torque was because it was scary high.

Ahh lucky you...the 3rd one i went to supposedly had 3 in stock but nothing on the shelf I wonder if they kept them in the back...i didn't bother to ask and drove to the next oneI got one too but it was available at the first store I went to, it was hidden in the back. It is a high theft item (I will never under theft...)
I wish I thought this through, would have loved to buy the Icon 3/8" impact swivel, shallow, and deep socket sets.
