torque adjustable wrench, as a plumbing tool

[Ted808]

Hi guys, ever heard of one of these?
Does anybody use one?

 

[Last Plumber]

I use a torque wrench every now and then but it's more like a socket set than that adjustable. I have two different types.
Why do you ask ?

My wrist is my toque wrench

Never used one

Trying to figure out why a plumber would need a torque wrench? Do boiler casing bolts need to be tightened to a particular torque?

 

[Chuck]

That's a left-handed one for measuring the torque when you undo the bolt.

I own 3 torque wrenches and ive never used one for plumbing work.

only usually need anything like that on flanges and then just do em up FT

That is odd. Never used one on plumbing before, not even commercial stuff. I know when something's tight enough without one, like most Engineers.

Last time I used one, it was to prove a point and settle a slight disagreement.
