Need a big torque wrench

[Bhudgins]

Was wondering if anybody knows where in Asheville I can rent a torque wrench that would go up to 305 ftlb

give this a look, perhaps you can use a different wrench with an extension on the handle. hopefully others can chime in if this link is bs, i dunno. Changing or increasing or decreasing the range of a torque wrench, use of extensions on torque wrenches

I made up an extension from a piece of black pipe. Slipped it over the end of a 1/2 ratchet, welded joint. At other end, cross drilled and welded in a short 1/2" drive extension. Total length is 2x my torque wrench length (to middle of handle). Set wrench on 100lbs, get 300lbs at the end. Close enough as long as you aren't building a space ship. You have to keep the torque wrench and extension straight to be accurate (there is a formula to calculate multiplication if the two are at an angle to each other).

And nobody is curious what the hell needs 305 lbs of torque?

Not a bit.

I've learned not to ask those questions.

I would guess diesel head studs or king pins..

Heck, 305ft-lbs is only half the torque value for a D60 kingpin.

I used a 6ft pipe on a 7/8" allen, and pushed on the end with a bathroom scale to about 105lbs.

A little bit. We just got a new press in at work and the anchor bolts call for 450 ft-lbs.

I've heard of dropping a double acorn lug not in there and then using a socket with an extension.

You're welcome to borrow my 7/8" Allen key. Pre-tested, only been used once. (Well, twice because I did both sides)

Thanks! However, I'll see if I can find one locally to save on shipping (yes, I'm a cheap ass)

Why not buy a torque multiplier? You can get them for less then $100 ....

Lugnuts on my truck are about 500 ft lbs. In other words, a big cheater bar and as tight as I can get them!

Fixed it for you.

I use the German virgin method. Guudentite.

We have a couple hydraulic hytorc wrenches for steam turbine bolts that go up to 135,000 ft lbs. Maybe overkill for your application.
Example
