Hello everyone.
I'm in the middle of trying to tech myself more about engine re-building.
I'm adding to my tool collection and looking for a few different bit's.
There are some that I'm a bit unsure of and are hoping that someone here might be able to help me out before I hand over money.
I'm doing the second hand tool hunt, so most of my questions will be related to second hand stuff.
With Torque Wrench's, typically do you need both a 3/8" and 1/2"? And how smaller Torque amount and how much should you look for?
There is a Webb and Brown - Sidchrome one for sale that's 10ft lbs - 120ftlbs. Does anyone know if these were a good unit and if that torque range is good enough.
With them also is it a case of best to stay away from cheaper ones?
ALSO: I'm on the look out for an old Distributor (re-curving) machine. So if anyone knows of any around please let me know.
Thanks heaps for all your help with this.
Francis.

10 - 120 lbs should be OK for most work on cars. Thats the main one I use all the time. I have a 200 lb one, but don't use it very often. both are 1/2" drive.
Probably if you wanted to tension everything up, you might want a 1/4" drive in/lb one, but I'

We calibrate all our torque wrenches at work every 6 months (and we have dozens of them) With precision gear such as torque wrenches I believe in buying the best you can afford (or waiting till you can afford it). Nothing beats quality when it comes t Edited by user Sunday, 28 January 2007 6:57:31 AM(UTC)
