superShit auto torque wrenchs

[TY318]

dose anyone know if the digital torque wrench from supercheap auto are like? i wanna buy a torque wrench

[Grennan]

Probably supershit.

If its the Supercheap brand one you get what you pay for. You will get a couple of uses out of it but at the end of the day its not going to last.

Kincrome ones are not that expensive, Just buy one.

Can pick them up for about:
$70-85 for a 1/2 inch
$60-70 for a 1/4 inch.
$260-$280 for a 1/2 inch Digital.

Cheers

yeh i want something i no i can trust tho rather just buy one n get it done with

[Grennan]

What kinda work will you be doing with it?

If its just gonna be a once every so often deal just buy something midrange IMO. It will do the job, be fairly reliable. Id only be buying Kinchrome if you were either, quite pedantic about your tools or are going to be using it a lot.

doing work on my motor mostly

I wouldn't trust them what so ever. Like above - get something mid range from a reputable manufacturer (I've got a sidcrome but kincrome are fine) and be confident that it's calibrated correctly. Of course keep it in it's case and take good care of it and it'll last decades.

kincrome 1/2 inch torque wrench 79$ bunnings

your laughing

[Lumps of cheese]

Get a kincrome. Not expensive but decent enough quality to give you confidence that it won't shit itself the first time you use it.

bit slow to answer this, soz.

we need to calibrate our workshops torque wrenches every year and get a certificate. i have the number of a guy if you like. he sticks it in the meter thingie and then toques up to certain points on his meter to check if its accurate.
