I have a 1992 xj and i need to get me a power wrench! Which is the most useful range for xi's?

 

Do you mean a 12v 1/2" drive impact wrench? If so the only problem I have with them is they go so long between use's that the battery is gone when I go to use it.


I just use a good lug wrench to do the job when needed out on the trail.


After rereading this another 4 times you didn't mean "Winch" did you? If that's it then a 9-10,000# will work fine, just don't buy junk.

 

x2. A lot of people buy between 9k to 12k winches

 

My fault I mean the power ratchet! the one we use to measure the strength on a bolt!

 

You mean a torque wrench ?

 

Bingo.

Get an inch lb in 1/4" drive, a 3/8" drive ft lb, and a 1/2" drive ft lb. (newton meters maybe, for you, I believe your tag said you live in Greece?) These should get you through most anything you need on your Jeep.

 

Can you show me some on eBay or anywhere else to see the newtons? Yes I am in Greece!

 

How did we get so dumb? I'm old and have CRS what's your excuses


Thanks Andrew..........To the OP sorry about the poor answer, that's what I get for thinking 8>)

 

Just search on Google and on eBay for "torque wrench." There are hundreds of them, so you'll need to do your research before buying. They are also sold locally in the US, so you can probably find them locally in Greece as well. Any store that sells automotive tools should have them.

 

Most wrenches list both inch or foot pounds and Newton meters. One scale is on one side and the other is scale is on the opposite side. As suggested, do a Google search. Most members here will have no idea what is available to you in your country. Search torque wrenches on ebay and Google.

 

Thank you all for your answers I got it now!

 

my only excuse is that I'm so accustomed to people mis spelling winches. Lol
