What??? How did you do that? Are you sure you set the TW to the proper setting before tightening the bolts?

12 lb/ft is VERY little force. It's less than "hand tight". Turn your torque wrench VERY gently. You will barely feel it, if at all. |

I have owned a Craftsman 1/2" drive torque wrench for 3 or so years. It's always been accurate and never failed on me.

Posted this in your other thread, but here is another post that addresses your issue: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...hlight=snapped
As for torque wrench settings, I don't normally trust the settings that are at the extreme bottom and top settings. For those nuts that only require 12-17 ft-lbs of torque I use a in-lbs torque wrench so that I can set it in the middle of it's working torque range. That gives you a more solid click. I think I have at least 4 torque wrenches so that I can cover all ranges I'll ever need without having to go to their high/low settings. |

Strain measurement devices tend to be most accurate in the middle of their range so the same holds true for things like pressure gauges, bathroom scales, etc. It's just a basic rule of thumb.
