You can "try" the torque adjust of that dewalt with a bucket full of water hanging on the torque wrench handle (parallel to the ground plan). Just calculate how much weight force the bucket will do, and adjust the torque wrench to that value: if it clicks before hanging the bucket completely, the real torque adjust is below the indicated. If it doesn't click, pull the bucket down and see how much force is needed to reach the click. If it's a slight force, then it's okay. If it's too much force, then you better not trust it.
Edit: Actually, you have to calculate the torque corrected by the torque wrench lenght. |
What's considered a good torque wrench? Do I have to go GearWrench. I don't think I'll be buying a SnapOn or MAC
