I just broke a banjo bolt on my new brake lines. Not sure if it was the wrench or the bolt. Though KneeDreggers is thinking it's the bold.

exSRAaron Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I used my $15 harbor freight one all the time. Motor swap, exhaust, swingarm, shock, wheels, etc. No problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 holy crap, never heard of a torque wrench malfunction (unless it's used for batting rocks). I hope people aren't using the newton-meter marks to set ft-lbs... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaNick Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I used my $15 harbor freight one all the time. Motor swap, exhaust, swingarm, shock, wheels, etc. No problems... All I need since I'm not running a repair garage business. I also get mine calibrated at work for free every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 cost an arm and a legShould have got a craftsman to save money. does the same job and just as good of tool. One of these days I'll use mine. I have had it for a year and have yet to use it. I just like to have tools in case I ever need them.
