    What up playa’s

    So I just got a new torque wrench delivered today. Nothing special. Tektite 24335 off Amazon for rims, check pumpkin cover, and exhaust install. Wife opens door and grabs it off the porch and immediately drops it big time.

    So my semi-precision torque wrench now any good? And I mean drops it.

    If it’s “torque wrench” that relationship is in more trouble than Dr. Phil at the buffet.

    Box, but it was a solid thud. Like you could hear it make contact. You know that sound what a batter makes contact with a ball for a home run, there you go.

    If it's semi precision, there's a 50/50 chance it improved the situation.

    Why so negative?

    Torque wrenches don't break bolts, over-zealous mechanics break bolts :muscleflexing:
