registered user Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 $14 is cheap. snapon probly would be $35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
registered user Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 That would be the crows foot like Larry mentioned. They are finally pretty common in some tool suppliers and their catologs. I believe you have to do a little math for those to torque where you want, as the extension is like added leverage. never heard that adaptor i posted refered to as a crows foot. this is the only crows foot i know, certainly you wouldnt want to use this tool http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Snap-On-Open-Crowsfoot-TMCOM12-1-4Dr-12mm-USA-/331495549953?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2eacac01 definatly you have to factor in the length of the adaptor or as larry calls it a crows foot, other wise your real torq will be off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Adapters are for rookies. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rommel Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 lol think id rather use a adapter than guess. i like everything the same that's why people use torque wrenches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Cool, well ive been doin it by hand and never had a problem. After a while your hand clicks at 20 once you do enough motors. Some people have the feel, some dont. If you feel better doin it that way, by all means do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 they sure are just using adapter for peace of mind each to his own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) not sayin torque wrench is not usefull, I have 3. The point is on hard to reach cub nuts you dont need one. Can be done just as good with torquing the inner 2 without a torque wrench. Edited March 28, 2015 by possum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zillaguy Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I use Matco torque adapters. I have a set from 10-19mm.. i think it was $85. As far as torque wrench i have 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2, Snap On digi's with torque angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
