I'm trying to torque my new cab mounts to the specified 55 foot pounds. I picked up a cheapie Horror Fright 1/2 drive torque wrench a while back, figuring that it would be fine for occasional use. (Maybe I was wrong...).
I've gotten it to click on exactly one bolt, so far, and I can't get it to click on any more. Any advice for getting the wrench to reset? I've no previous experience using these, so I'm trying to figure out if it's a tool problem or user error. I've been resetting the wrench to zero, and finger tightening the bolts, before using the wrench. I've also beeing using a pretty long extension. I can't see how that might affect performance, but you don't know what you don't know....
Ideas?
