Need to torque tranny drain plug to 27 feet-pounds. Is this scale readable for that? Can I use an adapter for a 1/2-drive socket on this?

I think so for both of your questions. First make sure the pointer is lined up with the 0 mark, then torque to the line between 300 and 350 inch pounds. If you feel that super precision is necessary for any of your torquing, you might want to consider other types of wrenches. But, prepare to empty your wallet too.

You have to convert from INCH pounds to FOOT pounds but yes you could use this, no the scale is NOT in foot pounds. You need an 3/8 to 1/2 adapter. You are better off getting one that reads in foot pounds and comes in 1/2 inch. This one is really great for torquing valve cover bolts, oil pan bolts and other small bolts that factory repair manuals and haynes manuals SPECIFY INCH pound torque specs. I've used it and works great and does not have to be calibrated.

Yes, 27 foot pounds (324 inch pounds) will end up right in the middle of the scale range for the tool. And yes, you can use an adapter. I just bought the tool to torque valve covers and am pleased with the build quality.

The increment scale is on 5 lb each so it would be best guess and yes you can use an adapter

Yes to both questions. It's a great choice, as the clicker type go out of calibration and so do the dial type. This does not. It's in inch lbs, so simply multiply the 27 x 12 = 324 in. lbs. Sometimes i have to use a mirror to read when torquing upside down.Good Luck

Yes, the drain plug is 1.5" male thread (NPT) so you would need a reducer bushing. Get a 1.5"male thread to hose thread reducer bushing. That may be difficult to find so you could also use a 1.5" MIP to 5/8" FIP or 3/4" FIP (FIP = female thread) adapter and then get a pipe thread to hose thread adapter. Just make sure the pipe to hose adapter is the same diameter as the hose you intend to use. An example: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FM9XMQ/ref=biss_dp_t_asn Here is a hose adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Dixon-504-1212-Fitting-Adapter-Female/dp/B007D5KFOG/ref=pd_sim_indust_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Y0QAADXZ3Y0FK1JGS43

You would have to look for the specs of the pans. This is a inch pound torque wrench. Your specs would say whether you need Inch pounds or Foot Pounds. If it says Foot pounds for your specs then you will need a foot pound Torque wrench, unless you know how to do foot pounds to inch pounds, then this might works just as long as it has the correct inch pound number.Otherwise personally I would just buy two separate tools an Inch Pound and an Inch Pound. Be better that way.Just note the Drive on this is a 1/4" so if you want to use a 3/8" socket you will need an adapter. You would have to look for the specs of the pans.

The first answer is no longer relevant. Amazon's info for this item is out of date. The new specs for the unit are 120 watts, and 280 ft. lbs of torque! This is about 10 amps. I say about since there are losses in the line and plug, and because when the car is running the voltage is higher. The new model is awesome. It takes lugs off of my 4x4 in one or two impacts, so less than 3 seconds. Two impacts on the way back on sets them just a little tight, but not so much that it would cause harm. I wouldn't dare let it hit another time!

On the impact instruction manual it states 50/60hz.But for a more accurate answer you might try Dewalts web site @ www.Dewalt.com or they have a customer service number which is 1-800-433-9258. Hope this is helpful. (I saw the other answer. My impact is not weak! It supply's 345 ft. lbs. of torque and will perform on a number of jobs! I broke torque on a harmonic balance bolt which was torqued @ 400 ft. lbs. This Impact is a hoss! Another thing to consider is voltage. In the U.S.120 volts is the standard outlet. In other country's it vary's. Hope this information is useful to you Karan. K. Wilson

Do not put it straight I did and after 300 miles was hard to down shift drained it out put syn 20w50 back .found out it to heavy to get into the needle bearings in the trans and they run dry .found out if you do half and half will be ok to run

The specs say up to 480 ft-lb. Not sure if it actually delivers this kind of torque. This is the Chinese made Craftsman.

Hello There, as you said you can plug it into your torque wrench and use it ig you have the proper socket, my personal recommendation is that use the same lug wrench you have used before. Regards.

I don't know your torque specs, but it is good to 200in/lbs. I used it for primary case on Harley which is a similar application, and I went to 120 in/lbs. Hope this helps.

I use mine for industrial control wiring and have checked the torque output with calibrated equipment, the lowest setting for the clutch is about 3 inch/pounds. This it low enough for any desktop PC applications, however it is a bit high for the small screws on laptops. If you only need it for computer repair you may want to look an the Milwaukee 2101-22 M4 cordless screwdriver, however if you plan on using it as a general use drill driver the Bosch PS22 it hard to beat.

I didn't buy the power cord for it, I use the scale very rarely. However you shouldn't have any trouble finding a power cord at your local Radio Shack. That's if you are lucky and run into someone that's somewhat knowledgeable.

I really don't know as I use it for the 1/2 drive sockets, there is no way to ratchet down the torque as with a drill/driver.

As long as the majority of what you are tightening is away from the edge of this torque Wrench's range it should work well for you and offer a wider ranged of use. If you are torquing stuff that is under 25 foot pounds you will probably need a 1/4" or 3/8" torque wrench to get the lower range. I prefer this wrench for the stuff you have described.

No, it is not an impact driver. It is just a drill/driver. It has 310 in-pounds (inch) of torque, insufficient for what you need. An impact driver has roughly 1400 in-pounds of torque, better but not quite. An impact wrench might be more of what you need. An Impact wrench can be 300 ft-lbs (4200 in-pounds). You may have to talk to someone at AutoZone or something similar. Hope this is helpful, Harry the Scrapper

This accessory is basically a DIY device. I doubt that it could adequately handle the torque of a 1/2" drill. I think 3/8" drill is pretty much the limit so I am not sure you would want to modify it for a 1/2" drive bit.

ask the plumber. I bought one and I love it, looks divine. I am pretty sure mt drain is 1.5 if not it is 1.25. Plumber will know.
