Re: Sears Torque wrench for wheels

Local Sears store recently took my busted torque wrench, a 1/2" drive with the dial on the end of the handle, and gave me a new one. No questions asked. I busted the old one by treating it like a 3/4" breaker bar and sticking a 6 foot pipe on the end to gain leverage while removing a Honda crank pulley. A shrink would probably suggest that I abused the old wrench because I wanted a new one. I blame the beer.
LOL...When I was rebuilding my 6 cyl. BMW I couldn't get the crank pulley off either (was afraid of flipping the motor off the engine stand). Called and found out that you have to heat with a torch to take it off. It called for 400 ft. lbs. torque for the install...I used an impact on it.
