Building my last few Bseries engines i had my trusty Snap-on tech2FR100 digital torque wrench for accurate and precise measurement, now with the new Honda Kseries engines they require torque then torque angling ie torque 22ft/lbs + turn an additional 56degrees.

Here is a comparison of the two torque wrenches. They look fairly similar physically, just the color difference. – tech2FR100 (red – digital torque wrench) – Atech2FR100A (grey – digital & angle torque wrench)

I wanted to compare the two torque wrenches, 22ft/lbs and 56degrees. I used the tech2FR100 torque wrench then the manual torque angle attachment. Once i got the desired spec i marked the bolt with a black felt marker. Then i loosened the bolt again and retried with the Atech2FR100A torque wrench and used the digital torque angling feature to see if the felt marker matched up to the same as the previous test. It did, and i also found out that when i torque it to the angle the digital read out also reads what torque the final 56degrees is at. Pretty neat 🙂 -using manual torque angle attachment

-using digital angle torque wrench Looks like it came out pretty darn close. I really like the Snap-on Atech2FR100A for convience and accuracy. I guess it’s time to sell my other torque wrench 🙂 However, on a budget the manual angle attachment is not bad for the money.

In the beginning, i purchased a torque angle degree gauge/attachment. I found that this tool can easily go out of spec if you do not firmly hold it when in use. I built a couple engines with it with no issues so that was fine.

Then i found out about the Snap-on Atech2FR100A digital torque wrench WITH torque angling feature. I thought with the possible errors involved with using the torque angle gauge/attachment it was worth my while to check out this toque wrench. After having seeing a demo at the local Snap-on dealers truck i was sold 🙂 This toque wrench was pretty cool. You do not need to do one clean 56degree sweep, you can do small increments to attain your 56degree torque ie 20degrees+20degrees+16degrees. You can actually torque it 3 times to attain your 56degree angle instead of on sweep like with the manual gauge, also with less chance of error. The price is a bit more for this torque wrench but for the accuracy and time saved i thought it was worth it.
