2. TORQUE WRENCHES & FEELER GAUGES

3. WHAT IS TORQUE? TORQUE IS THE TURING OR TWISTING FORCE WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT RESULT IN MOTION

4. WHAT DOES A TORQUE WRENCH DO? MEASURES HOW MUCH TORQUE (TWISTING FORCE) IS BEING APPLIED TO A BOLT OR NUT.

5. 3 REASONS TO USE A TORQUE WRENCH (ON TOOL TEST) SO YOU DON’T UNDER-TIGHTEN A BOLT OR NUT –COME LOOSE AND CAUSE A PART TO FAIL OR COME OFF SO YOU DON’T OVER-TIGHTEN A BOLT OR NUT –STRESSES THE PART WHICH CAN BREAK OR WORSE YET, FAIL LATER TO GET A SERIES OF BOLTS OR NUTS THE SAME TIGHTNESS –PREVENT BENDING OR WARPING

6. UNITS OF MEASURE A TORQUE WRENCH MEASURES IN (ON TOOL TEST) –INCH POUNDS –FOOT POUNDS USCS (UNITED STATES CUSTOMARY SYSTEM) 12 INCH POUNDS = 1 FOOT POUND

7. UNITS OF MEASURE IN METRIC SYSTEM NEWTON METERS (Nm) KILO GRAMS (KG)

8. TORQUE WRENCHES TYPES BEAM TYPE ($25 TO $175) DIAL TYPE ($150 TO $700) MICROMETER FEED OR CLICKER TYPE ($75 TO $400)

9. TORQUE WRENCHES SIZES ALL THREE TYPES COME IN: –DIFFERENT SOCKET DRIVE SIZES 1/4” 3/8” 1/2” 3/4” TALKED ABOUT OR WILL TALK ABOUT DURING SOCKETS THESE ALL COME IN BOTH INCH & FOOT POUNDS

10. TORQUE WRENCH MAINTENANCE DON’T DROP, JAR, OR HAMMER WITH TURN DOWN THE MICROMETER FEED TYPE WHEN FINISHED –IF YOU STORE IT TURNED UP, THE SPRING LOOSES IT’S TENSION NEEDS TO BE SENT IN TO BE CALIBRATED EVERY SO OFTEN

11. HOW TO USE DEFLECTING BEAM HOLD ON THE HANDLE STEADY PULL OR PUSH 80 INCH LBS

12. HOW TO USE MICROMETER FEED TURN UP HANDLE TO DESIRED TORQUE LOCK HANDLE IN PLACE HOLD ON THE HANDLE STEADY PULL OR PUSH UNTIL YOU FEEL AND HEAR A CLICK STOP AFTER CLICK 30 INCH LBS

13. HOW TO USE DIAL TYPE HOLD ON THE END OF HANDLE STEADY PULL OR PUSH WATCH DIAL AS YOU PULL UNTIL YOU REACH THE DESIRED TORQUE

14. FEELER GAUGES

15. EXACT THICKNESS STRIPS OF METAL OR WIRE USED TO MEASURE BETWEEN TWO OBJECTS TO EXACT SIZE CHECKING VALVE TAPPET LASH JOB SHEET #8 STEP 7

16. FEELER GAUGE THICKNESS HALF THE THICKNESS OF A PIECE OF PAPER (.002”) THICKNESS OF A PIECE OF PAPER (.004”) CAN BE ADDED TOGETHER

17. SAFETY THE THIN FEELER GAUGES CAN BE SHARP THEY TEAR EASILY

18. MAINTENANCE KEEP CLEAN & DRY KEEP LIGHTLY OILED TO PREVENT RUSTING DURING STORAGE

19. FEELER GAUGE VARIATIONS ANGLED FEELER GAUGES STEPPED FEELER GAUGES GO NO-GO FEELER GAUGES TIP.002” SMALLER THAN BODY

20. SPARK PLUG (WIRE) FEELER GAUGES

21. WHY A WIRE FEELER GAUGE FOR A USED SPARK PLUG NEW WORN INCORRECT CORRECT

22. APPROXIMATE COST $5 TO $15 DEPENDING ON SIZE

23. KOOL! I NOW KNOW ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TORQUE WRENCHES AND FEELER GAUGES!
