I need a Long Handle Torque Wrench

[Prange]

They can be handy for fasteners that are 1-1/2 inches and above.

Not everything is dainty like Chargers and such.

I was thinking bridges, skyscrapers, and such.

All right, enough! At 1500 ft-lb who here can apply 750 pounds of force at the end of that 2’ torque wrench? Some of us have seen a bit of large shit constructed and fairly large equipment repaired and built.

Damn Jimmy! Come on. Was looking forward to you telling us this morning no problem!! Have not met you yet, but was hoping you was going to tell me you are a long lost son of Arnold S, and have a 52” chest size chest and arms the size of my thighs.

Seems like my comment about primarily worrying about 1,500 ft.-lbs. and up was taken as that I have torque wrenches capable of that. I don't Only a few of my impact wrenches are 1,500 and over, with the leader being a 1-inch hydraulic unit rated at 2,500.

Should I be concerned with more precise torque numbers it requires using torque multipliers, either the old 11:1 I have carried in larger tow vehicles for many years, or the 64:1 I just bought. Hoping to be able to use a drill motor on that one.

Anyway, it doesn't exactly take lots of body strength to operate any of these tools. After all, a 3-inch socket isn't that much heavier than a 2-inch. And with a bad back and knees, when it comes to lifting heavier stuff I rely on tractors and cranes, rated at anything from 1,000 lbs. to 10 tons.

Okay then that makes more sense.

I don't like all the doo dads, KISS is my motto.

This is the one I got and super happy. Easy clickity click at 140ft/lbs on my Z06 wheels.
