#Wrench

Last year when I was struggling with cars breaking down at the start of winter, I swore I'd get myself an impact wrench next time I'd have to do this.

So luckily I did get this just before and it was indeed extremely helpful in getting crusty old bolts out, plus taking a wheel off and back on again is so much faster now.

The manufacturer claims it does 1200 Nm at maximum setting, some YT reviewer who did measure and compare them arrived at 1000 Nm, but whichever it is, it is enough to bust old soviet sockets to pieces 😆

It has the same really nice "halo" light as the smaller impact driver, three speed settings, a stop-when-nut-is-loose mode and a nutbusting mode for maximum opening torque.

For size comparison, that's a 46 mm socket.

A nutbuster, err, impact wrench from Skil. It says Brushless on the side. A double-row 18/20V power pack is installed, labeled  Pwrcore 20 4AH. A size 46 socket and 3/4" adapter is installed on the 1/2" anvil. It's styled in red and black. A large winter glove with dirt on it lays next to it.The front of the impact wrench, anvil with retaining ring exposed. A broken socket is in front of it, black with exposed grey cast metal at the break. The driver has a nice halo light around the anvil.

I looked for this crazy old wrench in the basement — but it won’t fit ;-)

I don’t remember where I got it and don’t think I ever knew where it came from???

Knipex Pliers Wrench
One staple in my toolkit and tool roll are the versatile Knipex Pliers Wrenches. With their smooth parallel jaws they can replace every size of spanners - metric and imperial up to their capacity. The smaller wrench from my tool roll is merely 125mm long and can grip up to 25mm or 1" and the bigger one living in my toolbox can manage up to 35mm or 1 3/8". On modern bikes there are mostly bolts with inside hex, but there are still solid use cases for the wrenches:
🔸During the Rookie training of the MTB Club Konstanz I removed a basket off a bike which was fastened with nuts and bolts
🔸Trueing disc brake rotors
🔸Field repair of a dropper post
🔸Opening air chamber of a suspension fork
🔸Countering an end cap on a wheel hub when adjusting the play of the conical bearing
🔸Tightening a valve core
🔸Crimping end cap on shifting cable
🔸Pulling shifting cable tight before fasting it to the derailleur
🔸Pulling foreign objects from tyres
🔸Countering bladed spokes or tightening spoke nipples
🔸opening chain link
🔸 Removing/installing E-clip and safety pins on brake pads

Toename van gewelddadige crypto-overvallen leidt tot vraag naar 'wrench attack' verzekering trendingtech.news/trending-new #crypto-overvallen #wrench attack #cryptocurrency verzekering #Bitcoin veiligheid #fysieke dwang #Trending #News #Nieuws

I need help from #diy community. Is this #tool weird or is this kind of scale and dial normal? I am used to torque wrenches, that have multiple of 10 on the dial. I'd be fine with multiple of 7, if all numbers on the scale were 0.7 apart, but it's not! Between 2.1 and 2.9, 7.8 and 8.6 it's 0.8! Sure, I know, it's not difference in significant digit, this #wrench is not that precise anyway. But if the dial is that screwed up, who knows what else is wrong? Or is it just fine?

Torquing down the cranks on a bike.

Is this the best torque wrench, no. Can I read the display while trying to get to 70Nm(600 in. lbs), no. Is this vintage torque wrench still accurate, don't know. It does give me a great deal of leverage, so that's nice.

If you add a bit of to the end of a bit, it won't slide through the 1/4" on your , allowing you to use the as a without struggling as much not to lose the bit. Putting a bit of thumb behind the tube-side and such can help with downward force. The DoohicKey provides the turning force

You'd have to mod a few bits like this... but bits are plentiful and then you have a set
