RECOMMENDED BUY : TEKTON 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench

[DavidDJL69]

Is there a website a JL owner can access that displays the torque settings for a JL? I’ve tried a couple of times to find out if they’re going to release a FSM but so far no one at FCA knows and some don’t know the difference between a FSM and an owners manual.

I have to retract my love for tekton torque wrenches. Pulled my 3/8 out the drawer today to verify torque on my beadlocks and right away I felt something wasn’t right. Didn’t think they could have backed out this much in just one day. Went out and bought a new Craftsman and checked torque and then used the Tekton again to verify and sure enough it was not clicking or stopping at the designated setting.

Have to retract my retraction. Had another look at my Tekton after I noticed the brand new Craftsman wasn’t stopping after clicking. Turns out the locking knob wasn’t adjusted right. Fixed the locking knob at bottom of handle and tested on a bolt I have already torqued to spec and what do you know it works. Craftsman went back to Sears and Tekton went back into service.

And Overlander you are correct those Craftsman torque wrenches are absolute junk.

"Overlander"?

Am I really that big of a dick? Man... I've got some soul-searching to do. 😆

My bad. Lost track of who all was in the conversation. That was directed to you not Overlander.
