nevins Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Can not see that being any good running off a cars system, will more than likely blow a fuse every time you use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I don't think there'd be many occasions where you'd need a digital torque wrench in a roadside emergency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 I don't think there'd be many occasions where you'd need a digital torque wrench in a roadside emergency. If it's freezing cold or raining and I had a puncture, I would prefer to whiz the wheel nuts off with an impact wrench as apposed to a wheel brace. I know someone who bought a 12V RAC impact wrench from Argos which he used to get the nuts on his wheels that the garage put on too tight, which he couldn't get off using hand tools.

stevie_b Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Interesting idea, but for the number of times it would be used I wouldn't think it's worth it. I keep a long-handled extension bar with a socket attachement on it in the boot. Connect socket to wheel nut with the bar on the horizontal, and kick down with the sole of my shoe. Not great if I'm wearing my high heels my wife's driving though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
