[QUOTE=xviper,Apr 11 2006, 10:14 PM]Using a 1/2" torque wrench usually means that its range of torques is so big that it will not accurately measure 18 lb/ft.

I have never used a torque wrench on any car I've ever owned (7) and never ran into a problem

that's about as wreckless of a statement anyone could ever make. don't post such crap as it can confuse and mislead members of this forum.

and don't bother posting here when you suddenly have a problem with a spark plug backing out because you "didn't use a torque wrench and never had a problem before". hell, even too much torque on your lugs can cause premature rotor wear, cracking, and warping.

Kinda like saying, "I've never used a condom on any girl I've ever boinked (7) and never ran into a problem". OR ..................... "I've never obeyed speed limits on any road I've ever driven (58,859) and never ran into a problem". OR ............. "I've never thought twice about walking on thin ice during the spring thaw and never ran into a problem". OR .......................... "I've never used a clean needle on any of the times I shoot myself up (7) and never ran into a problem".
