Its called the Walmart/Sears return policy. Here is how you preform said policy:

1) Walk into store of choice.
2) Pick out product of choice (this would be a in-lb torque wrench for you).
3) Purchase said product.
4) Keep reciept in safe place and go home (don't get lost).
5) Carefully remove product from safety protecting sheath of plastic.
6) Use said tool (torque wrench, not Jimmy). :flipoff2:
7) Put wrench back into safety sheath of plastic in clean condtion.
8) Drive back to original store of purchase with product and said reciept.
9) Walk in and return product for American Doller.
10) Walk to Hallmark Store and buy TxCruzr a "Thank You" card.


ps. You must be old and senial to have not thought of this yourself. I would be ashamed to be your dad and to know that you did not try this time proven method. Kids these days :D

the beam types look more my speed.

[TxCruzr]

They had them at both walmart and sears back home. In fact, it was easyer to find the in-lb than the ft-lb.
:confused2

[fbronco86]

I like the dial type alot better. The beam type get damaged pretty easy.

[jerryg79]

If he setting gears he needs one under 20 inch pounds, which most of them don't do. There was a good thread on pirate about this a year ago. I think someone found a decent dial one on a bicycle website for about $70.

[jerryg79]

you must be busy at work today :flipoff2:

since monday I've reading through all of my old old bosses emails to find all of the secrets he kept from upper management. Then I get to write a narrative about it. Its like doing a research paper, except this is interspersed with tidbits about his divorce, fights with his wife, his dogs grooming schedule, his house payment, his lawsuit from directtv for stealing cable, etc.

I can only look at it for about 10 minutes at a time now before I have to do something else. 2.5 days and I'm halfway done.

Oh look its lunch time :gigem:

[agjohn02]

you no likey the clicky


no i like them, for torqueing bolts. i just need to measure a constant torque and they wont do that.

[redcagepatrol]

did my pinion last night - feeling by hand is close enough. It should spin a few freely before it stops.

[agjohn02]

the bike shop sells beam style. ~$50.

[uglyota]

Park tools are good shiat. Get it

[agjohn02]

yea, but I'm a genius in real life!

I'm sure you could have called and ordered one, then had it overnighted.

[agjohn02]

i can tell you that with 20 in-lbs of pre-load. it will not spin freely at all.

[JeepPhisherman]

Where did you end up getting yours from? I stopped by the bike shop on University today and they had one that they could order for $60.
