Borrow in Wellington? Large torque wrench

[nstacey]

Hi,
Anyone got a torque wrench I can borrow? I need one that'll do 500nm for a hub replacement on Dad's disco.

got one at work, but no idea if it goes that high

will look and let ya know

only issue if its the right one is that we use it daily and it will have to get retrieved after work and delivered back before the next morning

368.7810746385 to be exact

Yep, about that Sadam. The manual specifies 490Nm or 362 ft/lb. It suggests two people may be required to torque it. Skid, is yours a 3/4 inch drive? All of the ones I've seen on Trademe that go that high are 3/4 inch.

got one at work will look tomorrow and see how high it goes

A little 1/2" Snap-on rattle gun will do the best part of 1000ft/lb... how precise do you need the torque to be?

Now I know Snap On is good but a half inch rattle gun doing 1000 ft lb ------ 1357 nm , we use inch drive ones at work and they would struggle to do that.

nstacey, if you have got the socket use a power bar and a 1 meter length of pipe don't be silly but a good firm pressure ( as if you were doing a bolt up tight ) on the end of the pipe will be in my opinion very close.

LISTEN FOR YOUR ELBOW TO CLICK,

MG725 will do 1600Nm break-away torques

Personally I would just lean on it with your average rattle gun and call it near enough... but I'm a fkn butcher who shouldn't be allowed near air tools
