Nice comparison video. I still prefer click style simple and no batteries to worry about. The digital adapter style seem to work well and would be great compact unit for a service vehicle.

[@TowingAndTrailersLtd]

I like the click type but other people use them and I know that the digital ones will not be left with torque wound on them damaging mechanisms. I can also hand it to any one they don't need to be able to read a micrometre style gauge to set it a digital wrench. If I am doing something I often have people come to me asking Questions this can distract me and the counter that the digital wrenches have is handy to see where I have got to. The wrench I don't like is the one that flexes I specifically brought the one in the video to do the filming and once it was filmed I gave it away as I don't trust it for use in our workshop.

Going to be honest you lost me the minute you started torquing a wheel that is not on the ground.

[@TowingAndTrailersLtd]

Hi I know that it is not a done practice to torque a wheel in the air. When I have serviced a trailer I always check the brakes and leave them locked in the auto reverse position. I then torque the wheels this gives me an Idea that the brakes are working well. The wheels then settle and are torqued when the trailer is collected by a customer as a final check.

@@TowingAndTrailersLtd It is also not a safe practice for you as that is a good way for something to fall from a lift or jack

I understand what you are saying if it is not securely supported We do make sure that trailers are secure while we work on them. The trailer in the video was on more than suitable axle stands. When a trailer is serviced with sealed bearings or a stub axle is fitted you are applying 280 - 850Nm to the same area on a trailer. If it is safe enough to tighten one of these it can manage a wheel stud / nut at 60 - 195 Nm Hope this helps Towing and trailer ltd www.towingandtrailers.com
