Torque wrenches...
Anyone know any good sources for these.
It seems like I will be needing a nice repeatable one in the 5-100 in/lb range for 10-32 screws and nuts. I am not sure what the torque is that I will be using, the screws are AN509-R10 (MS24694 #10) and the nuts are MS21040-3. I have seen from 20 in/lbs to 60 in/lbs for these.

My personal ones are Snap-On's. All of ours at work are also Snap-On. At 20 inchpounds, you are almost down to the point of needing to use torque watches instead. Craig |

I concur with Craig. If your'e going to buy a torque wrench, buy a good one
and stay away from Taiwanese junk. I tried that. Bought one from Harbor Freight (cheap). You get just what you pay for. I suspected that the torques wern't right and had it checked out by an instrumentation lab at work. Was repeatably 35 in/lbs over set value. Couldn't set low enough to use and finally just threw it out. Real bargain. I bought one from Avery Tools for $150.00 (same as those made for Snap-On). Was right on the money for torque values. It's your plane and your life on the line. What's it worth? Bill wrote in message ups.com... .Blueskies. wrote: Anyone know any good sources for these.

TIA I paid $aus250 for the smallest australian Warren & Brown. it is a round section tempered beam with a separate rectangular section pointer and a click indicator mechanism. measures 10 - 210 inch pounds. almost impossible for it to go out of tolerance. whole thing is under 9 inches long. almost the only thing I use it for is tightening my prop bolts. but worth every penny to get these right. if you are totally stuck in the usa email Stealth Pilot australia |
