    Need torque wrench info

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Kincrome-...ZmQ2rEqEGc0nng

    Can anyone shed some light on this style torque wrench, I used to have a bent arm Warren and Brown
    1/2" drive till somebody stole my tool box in Alice, years ago.
    Seems this is the main type used these days

    I bought one from Aldi a little while ago that is this style, I haven't used it yet though but it was cheap enough.
    Obviously it won't be as good the Kinchrome one but will be okay for when I need it.

    Maybe buy a 1/2" to 3/8th adapter,
    when I had the chance I brought three socket sets at a great price so all bases covered

    A mechanic told me years ago 1/4 drive for motor bikes
    3/8th for passenger cars and 1/2 and 3/4 drive for trucks
    sounds about right to me

    I have the exact Torque wrench and have had it for nearly 20years. It has done a heap of work and works great today. Bought mainly for wheel nuts but done a couple of heads too. Very happy with it.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
