Review on Drive Torque Wrench Breaker Combo by Chp Rodgers

Great Torque Wrench Made in the USA! This is the best torque wrench for truck nuts and wheel bearings! This torque wrench consists of 3 parts: 1 inch ratchet head, middle extension and torque wrench handle. Also, it comes with a retractable handle without a torque wrench, so you can use the ratchet head just as a regular ratchet wrench! FYI: You CANNOT break 33mm nuts with a ratchet! You must use a torque multiplier or a 1 inch air gun. Ring nuts seize on bolts due to dirt, rust and corrosion. It can take more than 1,000 ft-lbs to pull out. I have used this torque wrench to torque and tighten 33mm lug nuts to 500 ft lbs. You will need to purchase a separate 1" and 6" extension to tighten the drive axle nuts! I also have Meritor Unitized steer hubs that require 500-700 ft-lbs of torque. This torque wrench has a maximum measurable torque of 600 ft-lbs. With "Max" settings up to 600 ft lbs, both sides worked perfectly. After that I tightened all 4 drive axle (ConMet) bearing hubs to 300 ft-lbs. This torque wrench measures both clockwise (CW) and counterclockwise (CCW) torque simply by flipping the clearly marked retractable handle. It comes in a molded case that contains everything including the torque free extension handle. This is not a flimsy micrometer style wrench that can be dialed in 1 foot pound increments. This is a heavy duty 10 ft-lb click-click split shaft torque wrench used for heavy duty torque measurement. A calibration certificate is also included.
