    My Torque Wrenches.

    Yes you can check the accuracy against a known good torque wrench. That will get you close. May be within 10%. Really, for many applications, even torque is important. The ones I got calibrated when I was in the tool business, would be within 1 or 2% and were certified in case any accuracy...

    My Torque Wrenches.

    The click type are most prone to going out of calibration and needing repairs. The Precision Instruments (Snap On style) aren't as accurate but they are easy to use and seem to stay in calibration longer. I believe they use a tuning fork mechanism in side.

    My Torque Wrenches.

    They are adjustable with a screw through the handle. It adjusts the spring. Parts can wear and adjusting can bring it in spec at one range and it can still be out in another.

    Best and most reasonable vehicle code scanner/clearer for 2000 - 2024 cars

    Tools Explained

    We had "zero degree" ratchets on the MAC truck too. They were a roller clutch like a sprague in out Torqueflites. THey did require a few degrees of rotation to get them engaged.

    Let's talk more about garage door openers.

    I've got a Chain drive Stanley that has been working daily for probably 25 years. I had a new Overhead Door installed last year and the installer said it will probably last another 25. Spray a little lube on the tube and adjust the chain when needed.

    Anyone replace garage door springs themselves?

    It's not that it's hard or complicated, it's the danger if you don't do it right and you won't know until you mess up and hurt yourself. Your call.

    Timing light recommendations?

    Inductive spark pick up doesn't have anything to do with Multispark. The circuits take one spark signal and send it to the light. Think about how it has to work.
