What's stupid is that I made the trip all the way downtown on bike, and forgot the backpack. So I bought a backpack to take the wrench home in. It didn't look that big on the internet!

It goes from 0-200 in 5 nm increments. I dunno, I may just return it and get the 3/8" one.

This is what I get for buying a crappy walmart socket set in the first place!

I'll try the adapter and see how it does.

 

Those 1/2" torque wrenches are pretty inaccurate below 30 Lbs. Many don't read below 30. I would get a nice 3/8". Make sure you carefully hold the rear axle bolt from turning while torquing the nut. If not, You'll booger up the "snails"(Chain adjusters)

 

What's the general range on common maintenance bolts for lbs? This one goes all the way to zero. I'd say it'd be reliable accurate in 2.5 to 5 lb increments.

 

I believe most of them are below 10 Lbs.

 

This is the info' you need.

 

If this forum had a rep system, I'd give you some for this post! Where'd you find this? This confirms I bought the right wrench.

The list should be stickied. The noob sticky needs to be fixed it's all screwed up.

THANK YOU!!

 

It's in the manual. I posted a free version (Pdf) on here last week.
If you ask someone may email one to you.

 

Just remember that the smaller bolts are in "inch pounds". Just use common sense. All the little 8 & 10mm bolts are way too small to use a big 1/2" torque wrench IMO. I just use a 1/4" ratchet on the little bolts and "hand torque" them. Worked at a Honda dealer for 5 years and only used Torque wrench for head gaskets, Bearing caps & a few other rare cases. I've seen too many people set their 1/2" torque wrench to 80 something & snap a 10 millimeter bolt off that was supposed to be in in-lb not ft-lb. I realize this is common knowledge for any technician but we have many people that are just starting out with mechanical maintenance.
