Crows foot and torque wrench in BR
Posted on 4/4/14 at 8:58 pm

I need a torque wrench that can exert 250 ft-lbs of torque, also need to attach it to a crows foot for a 1.5" nut and a 1.125" nut.
What places in BR do y'all think carry this? Lowes/home depot do not.

This. Because it sure isn't going to last more than once coming from there. But their selection of crap is huge. If not them, try Grainger.

People say that all the time, but man I have had a lot of good luck with their Pneumatic tools and hand tools. They have all the specialty tools. I wouldn't buy my meters or socket set from them, but much of their stuff is pretty good, and you can get a warranty on almost anything.

I'm with you on this. I have a fair amount of tools from harbor freight that haven't failed me yet.

St Gabriel and Airline south of BR. They typically don't stock a shite ton of stuff though. Just go to a hardware store or rent one from AutoZone for free

Harbor Freight and search internet or 20% or 25% off coupon.

My front hub nuts on my F150 need to be torqued to 295 ft.lbs. I called all the parts stores about their loaner tool program and all them said theirs was 100-150 ft. lbs max. Ended up taking my truck to the tire store I frequent and they torqued the front axle nuts for free.
Torquing a nut with a crows foot to 250lbs sounds like a good way to get a black eye or a broken nose when you punch yourself in the face.

HF only carries torque wrench up to 150 ft-lbs.
Kobalt all metal with lifetime warranty. Kobalt and Husky torque wrenches are actually made by the same company that makes Blue-Point(Snap-On's cheap brand)
They recently cut their price by nearly half.

Crapsman torque wrench only gives you 90 day warranty

Not very specific then bro. You are asking for a pretty large socket and a pretty heavy torque setting. A few more details might get you a few more answers

What are you building? Because i'm going to tell you, if you are'nt dealing with a bearing or some sort, dont worry about a torque wrench. Just tighten it, don't strip it.

The majority of cheap torque wrenches..under 150, are made in China these days.
I bought three click style craftsmans from sears that had to be returned because they were cheap chinese crap and were way off new.
The ten dollar half inch torque wrench I bought from harbor freight when I was in a jam one saturday reads to within 2 ft lbs.
Is it a german stahlwille? No.
Does it work? Yeah.
Bought a few and put them in all the vehicles for spare tire changes.
There are lots of things you shouldnt buy at harbor freight, but if you arent buying a german, US, japanese, or swedish torque wrench...they are better than ANY of the other chinese ones.
250lbs is a lot of torque. What are you doing?
For that amount of torque, use an 18 inch breaker bar and lean on it. Cant imagine what needs to be that tight yet precise.

I actually only need a crows foot for the 1.5" nut...I'll try to link a pic of what I'm workin with

Sears may have it if you need it this weekend.
I rent and sell torque wrenches for a living. I have plenty of 250ftlb 1/2" drive if you want to rent one for a day. Crows foot fittings are a safety nightmare. I doubt I have the sizes you need in stock. Usually takes 3-4 days to come in. FYI crowsfoot slightly changes actual applied torque from wrench

Please do. What I remember as a crow's foot is what we used for water connections when I worked in industrial construction.
