Crows foot tension conversion

[Blaaster]

A very handy bit of information.

As you see I fabricated my own extension to tension up the Blaster cylinder nuts, just welded an old 1/2 drive socket to the middle of a 12mm combination wrench.

Instead of pulling down to 18 ft lbs I pull to 16 to allow for the extra leverage.

A very useful torque conversion for extensions.

Why buy when you can make.

Nice going. Sometimes one has to think outside of the box.
I am also one that prefers to make a tool, if needed. (If I need it now, I need it now)

I built one quite a while back. I came up with 10% less for leverage. I'm pretty sure it's in one of my vids.

I plan to do this the next time i need one. The crows feet we bought are junk

They have a whole metric set at harbor freight for $10, I'll pick up a set.

Fyi.....An open box wrench that has a 10mm side and a 12mm side along with a 3/8" torque wrench (10mm side will fit on 3/8" drive) would suffice on the 12mm base nuts..

What would be the torque conversion for that?

What would be the torque conversion for that?

Torque value x length of torque wrench / new Total torque wrench length = new torque value.

lol motion pro makes a tool for about $11 that works well. I bet gerry coldnt find this wrench nowadays if he tried.

A 10/12 mm open box wrench is part of the original tools that came with the blaster..
