Wow! You start off your video with dangerous information. To anyone reading the comments for this video recognize that 100 lb ft of torque is NOT what MOST vehicles are. That kind of information could kill someone. Either let someone that knows what they are doing torque you wheels or find the correct information for your vehicle. Over torquing or under torquing are both very dangerous.

Remember you still need to apply counter force on the head of the wrench so all the torque is in the proper direction. Sure the losses may be minimal but when using extensions it is important that all the force is applied correctly on the nut. This ensures your torque is on the correct plane of the entire nut/bolt instead of pulling away from the head of a bolt.

Hi, I have a question. I know you said that you can use extensions with a torque wrench, but can you also use drive adapters? For example, my socket set is mostly 3/8 in drive, but I want to get the wrench in the description. Can I use a 1/2 in to 3/8 adapter?

Chris, question sir. I want to bring a torque wrench when I go off road or go on vacation, just in case I need to throw on the spare. Is using the 1/4 wrench okay? My lb-ft is 100, but I don't feel like brining the 1/2 inch because its so large.

I got a quarter drive one recently and the click is not so obvious so I turned the bolt beyond ii the first couple of times. I hope I didn't mess up the calibration. Fortunately it was for a lower torque setting (9 nm. Hopefully it's ok.

I'm curious as the what the diff is between the Harbor Freight 19 one and the 109 professional one? Assuming just longevity and greater accuracy, which might not be important to the avg joe who'll use it 5x year?
