!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!
Nothing brightens my evening like checking my torque wrench calibrations.
Tested them both at 40, 80 and 120 ft lbs, all were within +/- 2% of the digital torque adapter’s readings. Not bad for a $10 Pittsburgh (Harbor Freight) clicker and a $20 Craftsman beam wrench.
Now I need to get some drive size adapters so I can check my 3/8" wrenches.
Bonus, I dug out my old Craftsman mechanics’ tool kit that I got back in high school, circa 2002. It was keeping my girlfriend’s Craftsman toolkit company
, which I got her for her birthday ~10 years ago, that I think she’s used like twice ever. My old kit is missing a few sockets and an extension because I packed those into my moto tool kit that I keep in the WR250R.
Then to add sockets to sockets, I checked to make sure my other prebuilt socket sets weren’t missing anything.
This is only about 1/3 of all the sockets I own lol

Nice I’ve been thinking of getting my cheap Farm and Fleet clicker checked sometime as I haven’t always treated it as one should.
Also at first I thought it was an elaborate rig for leveling your washing machine.

I’d trust the $20 beam

more than a harbor freight transducer...

Thanks, I especially like the (now discontinued) spline drive socket set. I’m almost scared to use them though because if I break a socket or the ratchet, there are no replacements being made. The ratchet is not a standard SK roundhead either, it’s a Facom ratchet that I honestly like better than the SK roundheads. I’ve taken it apart once after it got dropped in water and dried it out/re-lubed the mechanism, it is smooth as butter.
A closer-up pic of the spline set:
The extra little piece you see hiding in the topic photo is a Koken universal joint that I tossed in there. No pins, uses a CV-style joint.
