Do those wrenches put on enough torque?
I would doubt it !
What do you weight 180 - 200 Lbs , right 450 ÷ 200 = 2.25
Take a bar 3feet long , that will fit your socket bar and measure 2` 3" from
the socket centre , mark this point , with the bar alittle above horizontal
stand on it with your feet either side of the mark , now your a torque
wrench ! When it won`t go any more your somewhere near , always add alittle
. With a little ingenuity and common sense this principal can be adapted !
Wrenches that go to 450 Ft /Lb are expensive !
Necessity is the mother of invention , Noel
