How much torque can this strap wrench take? Broke a rubber strap wrench holding pulley, removing/installing cooling fan from Ford Ranger.

I use it to remove fly wheels from garden tractors and so far no problems. So far it has handled all the pressure I can put on it

I used it for this exact purpose on a 2006 Chevy Express 2500, and I wasn't even close to it's potential. The strap was a bit "slippy" however; I cut a length of bicycle tube and placed that under the strap. It's a really well-made tool.

The strap is very slippery. You can apply much torque on it. This tool practically is a junk, in my opinion.

i was disappointed with the torque when removing tire lugs, seemed to be about 60 ft/lbs but was using a 1.2ah battery from my cordless drill. I have since bought the recommended 3ah battery but haven't had a chance to try it.

You can't just set a torque value on this wrench; you have to put it into a memory location. Memory is maintained across power cycles.

Torque wrench...I suggest just buying another and having both laying around. If you decided to change it yourself, put it on the truck, then use the torque wrench to get the bolt off...truck is pretty sturdy and won't go anywhere...unless you have a shop with a good vice. Also...put a towel over anything like a chrome bumper so you don't ding it if the wrench goes flying...Make sure to get some locktight when you put the new ball on.Walmart has em cheap.

No, I may have been lucky, but for me the pulley came off and went back on without a problem. I think that the most important thing is to keep up with parts and where they go back on. I found a helpful parts diagram online. I wish I had taken some digital pictures during disassembly, but did okay and have used it without a problem since last mid-summer.

No...not made of material stronge enough to stand that kind of torque....Get out your pipe wrench! Vicki

Not sure exactly but I would just use it on the lowest setting and dont hammer on them, use a torque wrench afterwards as well. You could also invest into a torque stick that limits the power of the impact when tightening lug nuts.

Mine has a tough time removing rusted lug nuts from a truck but it may be my impact wrench more than the compressor itself. It should be strong enough with the right impact wrench.

I think it has more than enough power, most lug nuts require 100# + or - torque to tighten the lugs, this thing has 300#. I use mine to remove the lugs and they spin right off, even after they were put on at a tire store. I use a torque wrench to tighten them up for the proper torque. I really like mine, the trigger works well but the sockets are hard to remove. I don't think you would regret purchasing this wrench, lots of power and easy to maneuver, no air hose to drag around and can be carried anywhere.

Though I'm not sure about the actual torque produced I know it took a very large nut off the my lawn mowers engine which was impossible to get with a standard wrench. I also haven't encountered anything on my Excursion that it won't take care of.

Yes, took my 2000 Polaris 500 ranger clutch off. Put never seize grease on the threads an use a impact wrench, take your time.

Hi, I had the same trouble, but fortunately I had 4-Way Lug Wrench Tire Iron (you can get this item at Walmart or any automotive store) that fit close enough to get enough torque to loosen the bolt and then used a wrench remove bolts.

Same here I had one and it would do 1 or 2 lugs, 95# torque, before running out of air using a 1/2" Chicago Pneumatic gun. Ran air staplers, pin nailer's and other smaller CFM tools real nice. Very quiet and reasonably light weight. And it is a Makita! To run wheel lug nuts or take off a serious nut better off getting a different, more CFM unit.

if the lug nuts have been over torqued I would also suggest using the x lug nut tool to "break" them. This tool is good for the home owner changing tires on various equipment where a air tool isn't handy. It is not made for use in a tire store. I am satisfied with it.

pretty easy and straight forward on the install. off the top of my head, 15 to 20 minutes to reinstall the pulley. if your are replacing the power steering pump, I venture to guess, the complete job - beginning to end, and depending on the car, somewhere in the 2-4 hour range - as long everything goes OK, that is....

I am not certain I understand the question, but I will attempt to answer it. Suppose you want to torque a bolt to 45 foot pounds. The shaft of the torque wrench has an engraved scale for, I believe, every five foot pounds. Turn the handle until the edge of it reaches 40 foot pounds and the handle has consecutive numbers engraved on it starting at 1, 2, 3, etc., finally stopping at 13. Reading the engraved numbers on the handle, turn the handle until 5 is facing you. You are at 45 foot pounds. The lowest reading possible on this torque wrench is 25 foot pounds. The torque wrench also come with an owner's manual explaining its use and care. I hope I have given you the information you needed.

Wrench clicks or slips as you've suggested. My application of this wrench has been for tightening spark plugs on my boat. 3 years running, i use 30 ft lbs with this wrench, no issues.
