the only this i have not found that i need to do my gears next week is an inch pound torque wrench, does anyone know where i can get one of these? or perhaps borrow one for beer?
-
I see they have them at Princess Auto.
-
nope they dont, been there done that and had no luck. this has to be a "bar type" torque wrench, Not a "click type".

-

Its a really good one. top dollar paid for it. i use it for my dirtbike.
-
sweet thanks tom i owe you one! ;)
-
You owe me nothing.
Lots of jeep guys have done good stuff for me over the last decade.
Any chance i can repay the good karma, i do 8)
-
so unfortunately tom's is a click type and only measures down to 40 inch pounds. :( anyone else have any ideas where to get on of these?
-
Just use your fingers. You can 'feel' 8 in/lbs... :P

Got mine on ebay delivered to my door, around $40 or $50 if I remember right. I went thru the same as you and after exhausting everywhere in Calgary I could think of I went the ebay route.
You could try an Snap On or Mac dealer but I think they wanted over $200 for the stupid thing.
If you are really stuck you can borrow mine but I live in Cochrane.....
-
I dont have a toque wrench but I do have a torque wrench I will see if I can locate mine. I will post up if I find it tonight.
-
I have access to a dial 1/4" snap on torque wrench. Send me a PM and I will bring one home from work.

I have a 400 mac dial type. The last time I loaned it out someone busted the lense off the gauge by dropping it.
If you are going to do your own work, buy your own crap.
-
trying to but cant find one and right now with my wife in school i cant afford a mac or snap on. also the reason that i am doing my own work! ::)
i just cant justify buying a $200+ tool that i will use once. also if i borrowed your tools and broke it i would replace it no matter what, i have also lent stuff out and had it come back broken.
i have also tried rental places trying to find this tool with no luck, just no demand for them.

just gamble with ebay buddy, then after you're done, you can lend it out to people who want to do their gears.
do you have a dial indicator too pook?
-
yes i have everything except the torque wrench. and cant wait for ebay i am doing the gears this friday :-\

i know clay you have offered and i have no problem coming out to pick it up i am just trying to exaush 1 more option befor i comit to you. thanks a ton
-
Yeah, Im a bit of a prick that way.
Its not personal, just a pet peeve of mine and why I dont loan tools out anymore. They have a habit of not coming back, or not coming back the same way they left.
-
i totaly understand billy! not every one treats their tools the same or treats others stuff with respect.
-
Dana I have one if you still need it-give me a call 403 333 0773 Charlie
