I think if you want to use the torque wrench for breaking bolts I think you would be fine so long as the force you're exerting doesn't exceed the rating of the torque wrench. I was taught not to do this, I assume, because the torque wrench is more fragile and expensive than a breaker bar (or most ratchets even). There's more than one way to skin a cat though  |
Thanks Chief.
So you would suggest using a breaker bar to break the bolt and then the torque wrench to tighten it back on to the correct torque setting? That would make sense.
