What was the setting on your tool when it arrived? Mine was set at 50ft*lbs out of the box. I expected it to be set to 0.

The lowest setting on the wrench is around 30 foot pounds. If yours came set to fifty pounds that is pretty reasonable and shouldn't be an issue. I store mine at between 30 and 40.

Torque wrenches should be stored at the low end of scale. This should be a regular practice after each use, but 50 lbs setting is still not an issue for this wrench. It is the long term effect of storage under mid to high spring load pressure that will weaken internal spring, reducing fixed scale accuracy.(Professional torque wrenches used in manufacturing are all set using a transducer for exact accuracy. They do not have a fixed scale on body of wrench.)

i have the same question, can the factory provide some guidance? Several owners advised about the 50' reel spring not being strong enough to retract the cord properly. Thanks, Dave C

Bit works fine for me....I would suspect too deep a cut rather than the motor. Try several shallow cuts if you haven't tried this already.Note that I used a Porter Cable model 6912, which is 1 3/4 hp, same as the router power you used.Of course if the router vibrated before it touched wood then you have a balance problem. Unlikely.

Does not sound normal to me. Mine requires about as much as a run-of-the-mill ratchet wrench. Perhaps it will get a bit smoother with use, or perhaps you should have it replaced.

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

I think mine was only set for 45lb when I got it soI had weight adjusted and ended up adjusting draw length as well.

Mine came set at 56 lbs. that's what the bow shop told me when they tested it.

Shipping weight is 92 pounds. I would estimate the tool itself weighs about 90 pounds.

The DeWalt declaration is the correct one. On my drill it states (0 - 650 / 0 - 2000 ). Even the slower gear limit is also incorrect.

I would just look it up on their website if it didnt come with any directions. I think mine was set to lbs. when I opened the box

It's my understanding that you should set it to zero after use to maintain its calibration. That pretty much goes for all the "click" type torque wrenches.

Looks like it is ten pounds. I just put my finger on it and pushed. It went to 10 pounds.

Maybe you got a lemon. Mine was tightened the way it should be and was secured by loctite. But mine arrived with visible toolmarks.

It was for me. They got it to the city and a local delivery service picked it up and brought it to me. They asked if I thought they would need it. Pretty easy answer because it weighs about 600 pounds as I recall. It's a darned good tool.

Mine stays on Lbs. and will not switch to KG. Ok by me. I can't get it to display KG. Tried changing batteries and everything I could think of. Sorry

The Range from 90 to 120 is pretty normal for most air tools. I would dial it down to 115 PSI at the highest end. More pressure is unnecessary, and may prematurely ware out the tool. I personally set my compressor to 90 PSI and only step it up in 10 pound increments if I need more power. If the tool you are using starts having problems that force you to crank up the pressure, then chances are there is more wrong then low pressure on the tool, especially if you increase the pressure beyond the recommended range. Never do that.

I'm sorry I can't help you. With the bad weather over the past couple months, I haven't been able to set it up where I wanted it. I bought it for riding mower and a few other outdoor yard tools. If you still need an answer in a couple weeks, maybe the weather will cooperate and I will get it in place to measure.
