- New topic for you I've got a 10+ year old Husky 1/2" torque wrench. Unlike the new ones available from HD, it was USA made. This past weekend, the locknut inside the handle came loose so it's no long

- How about b + c ? i.e, get the replacement wrench *and* buy a new one? Two tools gota be better than one! How about one of these...? http://www.sheldonbrown.com:80/tork-grip.html Eric Russell Mebane,

- You can calibrate it yourself. All you need is a torque wrench that is calibrated and a home made adapter. Borrow a wrench and weld 2 sockets together face to face so that the square ends point away

- That's not a bad idea. I'm not sure I want to trade the old one in, and this wouldn't cost me very much. Hmm- maybe I'll buy a new better one for the shop, and use it to calibrate the old one for tra

- Or just buy the appropriate size 8 pt socket. The drive side to fit 'on' one of the wrenches just like normal and the bolt side to fit 'over' the drive on the other wrench as though it were the bolt

- If you're using it primarily for something pretty tolerant like wheel torque, I'd just replace it with the chinese version and call it a day. Then when you leave it at an autox, you won't be particu

- I'll second this, and add some more. Get an inexpensive "beam" type of torque wrench. Even cheap ones are very accurate, and they don't go out of calibration. Mount the clicker in a vise/etc. and use

- Actually there is a socket that will fit over a 1/2 drive, so no need to weld two together. Gee, is it the 8 point or 12 point. Most all my tools are at the shop or the other shop, so I can't run ou
