Hi guys,
I’m fairly novice to mechanics, wanting to be able to take my wheels off to clean / if have tyre issues in future.
I’ve currently got the Torque wrench (FOURROBBER Torque Wrench1/2-Inch Drive Click 25-220 Nm Dual-Direction Adjustable Torque Wrench Set Amazon.co.uk)
But thinking of changing to the digital adaptor as it feels like it’ll be less prone to human error and more accuracy? (ThreeH 1/2''(1.5 to 147.6 ft-lbs.) Heavy Duty Digital Torque Adapter with LED&Buzzer Alert (1/2'' Drive & Includes adapters for 3/8'' and 1/4'') Amazon.co.uk)
What do you all think, any tips and instructions on this, for specs I think my Mercedes C300 Coupe 2016 April Reg is 130nm torque for bolts from reading online.
Also if agreement with changing to digital adaptor, would a standard non torque rachet work best or a breaker bar.
I’ve got a vonhaus corded impact wrench, breaker bar & 17mm 1/2 wrench socket (fits my wheel bolts)
Also got Halfords 3 ton hydraulic trolley
Photos attached for context of what I have and torque wrench and digital adaptor I am considering changing from and to.
