I am listening

It only rubs the car/fender if you dont use a deep socket

Nah I grab the 18 inch plus extension instead. or 2 footer

Another great video, thanks.

My new wheels came with new 12 pt lug nuts and a really nice 12pt deep socket that gives plenty of fender clearance. It's always good to hear that click/beep verifying the proper amount of torque.?

What is up with the smilies????.......I can see the bottom half of one and the top half of the one directly below.?

Thank you As I made my brake vid... what I like doing helping out tLol

Lol the site here wantd to see me torque they got their wish now they can not shut up!

 

[fishycomics]

hahaha.
Yeah okay. Maybe on your own car, but cold day in hell I send customers stuff out without torquing.

On my Job we are told to mark it if torqued or not, and I till you don't look up its not toqued, run.

Is that more or less a way a person starts insulting one who took a forum members request to use a torque rachet here and bringing

It doesn't unfortunately. Fishy showed in the video that someone can torque it properly without a torque wrench. In the context of what we were talking about, it doesn't.

You, yourself even said, "maybe on your own car." Which is what we were talking about.

Yes Have you yet to see me replace a ripped aluminum rim? they should keep to the topic this is not Harvard or Yale just some Grease monkey shop

Now I remember the days I snapped Lug nuts, and caliper bolts by tightning. I even snapped rachets, because they were El cheapo's.

those were the days.

AKA roadster days.

I watched the video. No offense or insult intended, but the truth is, that is a terrible video - it's riddled with incorrect methods and bad information. It's a how-not-to rather than a how-to. First, you never use a torque wrench in that manner. Use your shortest extension to provide adequate clearance. Second, you never, ever use a torque wrench to loosen a bolt - it's a nice, quick way to throw its calibration completely off, after which it's a useless tool unless recalibrated. Third, when you showed hand-tightening with the large 4-way, then checked with the torque wrench, you did not show that you had tightened it accurately, Instead you showed that you had overtightened it. The immediate click demonstrated that fact. Fourth, that method is a great way to snap off a lug bolt or destroy a wheel, as most of the time damage of that kind cannot be repaired. Alloy wheels can easily be cracked or deformed at the holes. leaving them ruined, and you just showed everyone how to do just that. The entire video is horribly wrong information and bad advice, and is a dangerous disservice to the public. People unfamiliar with the process are not going to have a "feel" for how tight to tighten the bolts. In the hands of someone who actually takes it at face value, this video could result in wheel or lug failure and a terrible crash. Leaving you liable in a civil lawsuit, and responsible for damage to property or persons, or death. Possibly even criminal liability too.

I would highly recommend you take this video down immediately before it gets someone injured or killed, or, at the very least, their wheel or even the whole vehicle damaged or destroyed. Hopefully most people would have the common sense not to follow these instructions, but there are many out there who won't know enough to recognize it for what it is which makes it dangerous.

It may sound extreme to some, but if you disagree with my assessment, I submit that you are part of the problem rather than the solution. I have reported it to YouTube as dangerous. I have also reported it to moderators here.

Kloker No pun intended, I took the time to make a 1 min video and take all who posted to me what I never used and simulated to a video,

You want to break your hand, go right ahead. it does not take much pressure using the wrong tool to do so. that you knew?

I read what I wanted to and basically removed the negative comment off the youtube's video not because it was directed to me, because it's directed as hatred to the youtube.com rules and guidelines for your protection.

Not insulted let me give you a 6 inch lug tool and work that.. and you still come back saying it's the wrong tool to use.

As toque tools are made to check for????
Loosening Torque Test
This test is also known as the “breakaway” test. It is similar to the “first movement” method, with one basic difference. Instead of applying torque in the tightening direction of the fastener, this test uses force in the direction that loosens the fastener.

To conduct this test, take a screw or bolt that is tightened down and begin to loosen it. When the fastener breaks loose, record the torque reading. The torque value to loosen the fastener is the approximate torque that was applied to the joint. This method is considered the easiest to perform, but it may not always correlate to the torque applied to the joint.

From low-cost tools to sophisticated fastening systems, all assembly equipment need to be audited. The objective is to verify accuracy and repeatability performance goals are being maintained. Eventually, torque tools begin to drift out of tolerance. An auditing technique to detect and prevent fastening failures is vital.

Hey Mr. Fish, keep on keepin' on with the videos.

no sweat. glad something pos was said lol.

 

[fishycomics]

@Carbuff2 can easily take care of this @rocky as well, If you like guys. Kloker (whoever you areyou are not a follower and that seems to be your big problem.

AKA Roadster

Found the remark.

Lar***
This video is dangerous, as it advocates improper methods and gives terrible advice. Please remove it immediately before someone gets hurt as a result. Reported to YouTube.

Called an Attack Approach first, talk about the problem they skip pass go.....

 

[fishycomics]

Pick on this. that ole saying, Sticks and stones..... so I hammer the crap out of the poor ole guy who butted in. He told you what to use and you're telling him he is Wrong

Sunday topic a day Early

 

[fishycomics]

If I were to use a socket, I like it to be as close to the actual Nut coming off, the base of the Socket. and not the tip where the weakness is on the socket. The Longer I see the rachet the less strength I must use, the shorter I see the rachet the more strength I must add, called leverage, that some one knew.

I gave a excellent xample in the last vid If i were a body builder with 30 inch pythons and I were cranking down......
