Those big ones are needed to do the old 5 pc shovel flywheels, crankpin nuts torque to 450lbs, lots of fun on a nut with a shoulder that's only 5/16" wide.

This is one of the torque wrenches that we used for bearing retaining nuts on jet engines.

I have no idea what they cost...

I have that one in my tool box. Also, I have the 48 inch cheater bar that you can put the ratchet head on when you need the BFR to break things loose!

I ordered my first ever digital today, so that I could do the torque-turn on my heads without my beloved striped sockets LOL. That is all we had when I was on the floor, I must have 30 sockets that I striped with a junkyard marker over the years.

I ordered a Proto half incher. I just could not bring myself to order one of the Amazon wrenches. I am still suffering the long term effects of being a tool *****
