Making sure you get the correct torque ?.

Hello,

Just wondering if people get special socket sets to get the correct nm on tightening screws etc or if they just do it by guess work?

Just got a copy of Elsawin and it shows all the nm torque settings, never really thought about it before.


thanks

Just buy yourself a half decent torque wrench for peace of mind.

One of these:


It's 3/8", so you'll need an adapter if you want to use 1/2" sockets, but I use it all the time, and it covers the whole range from tightening the wheel bolts to the oil filter cover.

Tight is fine, but I don't know what 25nm feels like, or 60nm, or the difference between 80nm and 110nm. It's not a lot of money for peace of mind.
