Torque delivered by a hand ratchet with 1/2" socket [closed]
Feb 7, 2020 · 9. Torque is simply the amount of force you apply (lbs) multiplied by the distance from the thing you're rotating (ft), hence the unit "ft-lbs" (foot pounds). If you apply 50 lbs of force 6 inches (.5ft) away from the bolt head, then you're applying 25ft-lb of torque.
How do I achieve required torque when using an impact driver?
The simplest way to adjust the torque on a torque wrench that is hpa (high-pressure air) powered as is the case in this example is to simply turn down the pressure on the air regulator (there is almost always a turn knob which limits the working pressure in an 'air-hog' setup (as they are known colloquially throughout the midwest and southern ...

Turning a hard to access nut? - Home Improvement Stack Exchange
Mar 18, 2019 · Before anybody points this out: ratchet mechanisms are "weak". They do not allow one to exert really high torque, and tend to fail if you try to dislodge a really stubborn nut, for example by bashing the handle with a hammer. If this is a problem, start with a standard wrench to loosen the nut a little. Then switch to the ratchet.

I wrapped one end around the base of the chuck and the plug end around the other so that there were a couple of turns around each. The wire was round and soft and needed to be wound in the correct direction so that it tended to get tighter as I turned. It gave me grip, increasing the diameter of the piece and hence the torque achieved. It worked.

Sep 8, 2015 · Lowest 10mm torque is 17ft-lbs. This is really small, by the way. Just find one (Tekton is a favorite) that matches the socket set that you have and goes low enough for what you are looking for. Remember if you are going to torque at the lower end of the torque range of the wrench, you need to tighten very slowly to feel the wrench break ("click").

How do I tighten/loosen this recessed nut and bolt?
Jan 25, 2014 · You do realize that you have to flip the wrench over after you turn the nut and the wrench hits the wood. If the problem is that you cannot get enough torque on the wrench, look around for a piece of pipe that will slip over the other end of the wrench. That'll give you more torque. – getterdun.
