Score!

I just won this on eBay for $91 + shipping... The Snap-On site lists it for $231!

Fancy.

Fancy.

Yeah! Now I can properly set the pre-load on my pinion bearings and get my axle back together. I couldn't justify spending full retail price on something that will get very limited use.

Of course, this also means I'm gonna have the ability to re-gear axles and all that...

Nice score. Sometimes eBay is great.

I hate to burst your bubble but that is a FOOT pound torque wrench and in order to set pinion pre-load you need an INCH pound torque wrench. You also need a 0-25 in. lb. to be exact.

I've seen those... I may end up getting one yet. In the meantime, I did get one hell of a deal on the wrong one, so maybe I can get my money back or even profit from it.

It's the Snap-On TE50FA. It's a great wrench, just not the right one. It reads 0-50 FT/lb, not inch-pounds... I somehow confused it with the other one. It's a 3/8" drive, never used.

The actual item is pictured there, somehow I just had a brain fart and didn't look closely at the dial.

It's all about details.

I would keep it.

X2.

Once i own a tool it will never leave my possession until it is either broke or i'm dead, hopefully not the latter.

What for? I don't see myself needing a 50 lb-ft torque wrench. Of course, I'll sell it and find a need, I'm sure...

But really, money's tight right now and I don't need to be buying stuff I don't really need.
