Torque wrench ? - JF Coastal_imp - 05-21-2017
Anyone have a link or recommendation. All the local shops don't seem to have one that will go low enough for some of the bolts on the CB1100. Rear upper shock is at 6.6 foot lbs.
inch lbs have a conversion ?
Possibly silly question. Just don't have much experience with them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JF

12 inch pounds = 1 foot pound.
24 inch pounds = 2 foot pounds and so on...
Your 6.6 foot pounds = 79 inch pounds (6.6 x 12 = 79.2)

you won't find one torque wrench that will do the upper shock bolts and the rear axle nut. Buy an inch pound torque wrench and a 0-100 foot pound torque wrench.. Sears, Harbor Freight, probably Loews, Home Depo, Ace etc

Haha nice, simple math. Thanks guys. I figured that much but needed to hear it from the board. Thanks!!

These are handy tools... use them with any ratchet, plus they can also be used to check the calibration of your old mechanical torque wrenches:

That's an amazing idea! Why buy a separate mechanical torque wrench if you can get one of these?

'Cause an electronic beep will never be as satisfying as the solid 'clunk' of a torque wrench?
RE: Torque wrench ? - pekingduck - 05-23-2017
Beep? Click?
My 1/4" beam-type torque wrench is totally silent, needs no calibration or batteries, is quicker, cheaper, measures break-away torque, and you can watch as torque increases.
I have click-types too, but don't need a digital one. I have enough stuff that gets used lightly, but still kill the batteries when I need it. I am constantly replacing batteries in meters, calipers, smoke detectors, scales, security alarms, tire pressure gauges, etc.

I'm old fashioned I guess, as I use both inch pound and foot pound torque wrench's that click/break.
No assembly or batteries required
