Default Re: fish scale instead of torque wrench

Of course, I hang my index finger in the fish scale and draw
this in a circular arc in the 90 degree angle in the direction
of rotation. The pinion shaft is turning stadily.
And the task 3 kg -- the same as your 6,6 pounds was checked with
3 pack flour. Attached are two pictures out of the 1976 land rover
service manual for gearbox and pinion flange, note the fish scale.
being cheap is not always the best way ---- I pick up the ball
and play back ---- I live sustainably, Just buy what I
"absolutely" need. Why should buy a china torque wrench for one
job, if I can use my old fish scale which is good enough for the
rover diff. China products are my last choice. Instead of buying new
cheap china products I buy a second hand branded item on ebay and
fix it up. I remember the time when "one" neighbour in the street
had a longlife branded drill. Everyone has borrowed there.
Now everyone in the street has a drill. China drill for 25 USD
which last max. one month with stressful work.
I'm not stingy, I just lack the consumer thinking.
