The adapters are apex's (basically long Allen wrenches). The entire wrench is MAYBE 3" long. It operates in both inch-pounds and neuton-centimeters (for you metric types). <br /><br />Now, one might ask "what the hell do you need a torque wrench that small for?" Dental implants, of course! <br /><br />This was used on me this morning to finish my last installation. Some of you know I've been going through MAJOR dental reconstruction due to a car accident 15+ yrs ago (broken upper facial plate, lost 4 teeth). Technological advances finally convinced me to take the plunge and have the work done. 6 bone implants, numerous surgeries, and titanium sockets inserted in my upper jaw- not to mention 22 months later. I'm done! <br /><br />And if any of you are curious, the torque on the screws was 20 neuton-centimeters. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="cool.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>turbo50</b> <br /><small>Member # 6700</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,10,19,11,50,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> wonder how many inch pounds that would be? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>89foxstang</b> <br /><small>Member # 5908</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,10,19,12,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> ^ 1.77014916 inch pounds haha courtesy of google .. cool tool i like seeing super specialized tools sometimes <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Chris83179</b> <br /><small>Member # 6017</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2009,10,19,12,19,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Damn, you really ARE a gearhead, even your teeth have to be torqued.
