Can this tool be set for torques less than 10? I have a Ruger LCR 357 that requires a torque on one of the screws of 6-9.

6-9#, get the wheeler as a safeguard and just snug the screw using purple loctite.

I agree with the previous answer. The are ~ 15 detents between 10 and 15 inch pounds. When not in use the this torque should be adjusted to the minimum setting, which is ~ 9 detents below the lowest marked torque (10 inch pounds). I tried adjusting below 10 (1 detent at a time) and discovered that the torque changed (dropped) much more than a one detent adjustment above 10. I recommend calling Wheeler. They may have some suggestions for achieving a 6 - 9 torque. V

Wiha makes a series of quality torque screwdrivers, adjustable in .5 in/lb increments, covering ranges as low as 5-10 in/lb on up to as much as 15-80 in/lb, and several other choices in between. They aren't cheap, but I am about to order one to use on a switch barrel, where accuracy and repeatability matter. There are also a number of other competing brands catering to industrial/manufacturing markets, with costs running anywhere from around 100, on up to 1200 or so, depending on capabilities. Just do a search on "torque screwdriver" or "Wiha" using the search engine of your choice. HTH.

Hello. I believe that 10 in-Lb. is the lowest setting and the calibration chart that was sent along with my unit stated that at 10 in-lb. it registered 10.85. 30 in-lb. setting calibrated at 29.90 and 60 in-lb. it registered 60.40 Hope that is of help to you.

i'm sorry Howard but ......no, the lowest is 10.....sorry I took so long to answer but I was sick....(still)..

first off, this is not a "finesse" tool. The trigger is basically on/off. It runs full power counterclockwise, which loosens fasteners. there are 3 power settings for clockwise(tighten). You can get some additional control by short stroking the trigger(small bursts of on-time), and loosening your grip(let the gun climb counter clockwise). You can and should use "torque sticks" when tightening fasteners such as lug nuts.

No. It't not a torque wrench. It's an "Impact" wrench. It simply applies whatever torque is required (all the way up to it's maximum) to break fasteners loose or fasten them down. If you want to apply fasteners to a specific torque, you need a "torque" wrench.

1.25, but I learned that the set screws are too short. They do not make full contact with the rails before passing the threads. Also, hex set screws would be much better than the slotted ones provided in order to apply proper torque. The trouble is finding them. They are 10mm, 1.00 thread.

Yes. It uses Allen or flat blade screwdriver. I used it with weaver picatine rings. Over 500 rounds with no shift. Weaver tactical parts are very well made.

on a 12gauge w/ a breaching devise ,like my mossberg 500, I used a steele slug to set it on . with 22 cal. Like 10/22 Rugers and even a bull barreled target 22 it worked fine. lerosado@yahoo.com

Either send it to a calibration house... Or test rough accuracy - Buy preset torque wrenches (eg Ritchey 4Nm, 5Nm), tighten until it reaches the 4Nm limit, then try the Venzo at same torque. If the Venzo doesn't reach the limit is at torque or under. Then try the higher torque setting... And rinse repeat. Then tell us how it went! Usually the concern is applying too much torque at lighter range... And not enough at higher range.

I am not certain I understand the question, but I will attempt to answer it. Suppose you want to torque a bolt to 45 foot pounds. The shaft of the torque wrench has an engraved scale for, I believe, every five foot pounds. Turn the handle until the edge of it reaches 40 foot pounds and the handle has consecutive numbers engraved on it starting at 1, 2, 3, etc., finally stopping at 13. Reading the engraved numbers on the handle, turn the handle until 5 is facing you. You are at 45 foot pounds. The lowest reading possible on this torque wrench is 25 foot pounds. The torque wrench also come with an owner's manual explaining its use and care. I hope I have given you the information you needed.

I am not sure, I did not measure how much torque. I raised my 670lb Harley using a socket and a 16" breaker bar. It went up and down smoothly with little force. I did put a small amount of grease on the screw first as the directions indicate.

I don't have the exact torque measurement, but the lowest setting would probably work for very delicate components...I use it to drill tiny screws into plastic all the time with NO stripping whatsoever. I mostly use this for remote control cars and it works great on soft plastics and tiny screws. Hope this helps!

Yes, the speed is variable based on the amount that you squeeze the trigger. It can be used as a screw driver you just need to put in a screw head (it comes with one). The best thing to do is use the torque adjustment when using it as a screwdriver so you don't over tighten and/or strip your screws.

I recall that it does save the torque setting. I returned mine after because the 3/8" wrench broke after only a few uses and the 1/2" torque angle setting was totally inaccurate. You're better off spending more money and not wasting your time even for small jobs - it needs to be done right.

I don't know, I will have to check the specifications. It it is on the tool I will respond again later. For drilling high RPM is ok, but I think you might want to drive screws a little slower, I will provide more later. Brad

I had one from the early 90's when I was a youngster. I believe my Crossman 357 was fitted with 10rd clips. If your clips are 10rd then I say these will work, because the tangs that cocking mechanism engages has not changed.

For the initial installation I would torque the bolt. If you can't use a torque wrench for whatever reason just apply some blue loctite to the bolt and tighten it.

Mine has a lot of torque and a poor trigger. You pretty much get all or nothing which is OK for drilling but not so good where controlled power delivery is needed.

The settings are similar to other drill adjustment settings, 1,2,3,4, etc. There is no ability to dial in a specific torque.
