My IR 2131 is maybe twenty years old now and still hasn't met the nut it
won't turn.
I assume they still make its bigger brother if you need to, I don't know,
flip the truck over by torquing the axle.
I have heard excellent reviews of the Harbor Freight upscale line of torque
wrenches. I forget the name now but I'm tempted to buy one just to see if
it's that good.
