    Question

    Geo...I remember you once said something about the lowest torque and highest torque settings for the Del Sol's. I think you said something about in. pounds and ft. pounds.
    When I go to buy a torque wrench I want to make sure I get the right one. I know I don't need the inch/pounds but I always see two different ones in the foot/pounds....one smaller in 3/8 and the bigger 1/2 version.
    Any suggestions on which one to get?

    Thats actually the socket size...you know the size of hte little square nipple that connects to the socket. would suggest getting the 1/2 and then getting an adapter package that lets you do 3/8 as well.

    You can leave the hard stuff for Geo [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Larry get the 1/2 inch drive one, then later you can pick up the 3/8 inch model.

    Yep, that's what a pneumatic torque wrench can do for you. What were you torquing Geo, your oil drain plug? [img]eek.gif[/img]
