    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    I'm not pulling it because of this, that would be crazy to do lol. I will probably pick up a beam wrench anyways as they are pretty cheap and would be handy to have one for other uses, I think I will use it to verify the torque.

    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    Thanks for the input everybody, and from what I understand 3 percent is pretty good for what I am doing, and as far as I know the wrench is pretty accurate, nothing has made me think that it is out of whack anyways. I found a few places around me that can calibrate them as well, but wondering...

    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    So a beam type torque wrench would be good to ensure that the torque settings are accurate when building my motor? It's on a stand so I can easily see the dial.what type do people usually do to assemble a motor? I guess I am probably just being overly cautious because I really don't want...

    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    Lol that post makes a bit more sense now. I went out and did a few more tests on my big and little wrenches. I think my weight was a bit off last time, I varied the weight by a few pounds each test to see a bit of a range (I'll maybe do some more extremes too) I did three total tests, the...

    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    I will double check the numbers that I got but it seems like they are still pretty accurate, so it's safe to use them I guess? And I had another thread about bolts, new bolts from what I understand arent torque to yield, because of they were wouldn't you only be able to use a bolt once? The...

    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    I will do the test a few more times to make sure that I was accurate. I didn't see a calibrations sticker on my 1/2 drive wrench, but there was one on my 3/8 drive wrench, it was from 99 though lol, tested it the same way and it seemed even more accurate than the other one. But if some don't use...

    How accurate does a torque wrench have to be?

    I'm about to start assembling my motor and was wondering about the accuracy of the average click type torque wrench. Mine isn't that old, and hasn't been used too often. But I was curious about it's accuracy. I measured the length from the ratchet to the handle, and got a bucket of water...
