Posted on 01/01/2021 19:45 by ADP1963I have been a Caravan owner and user since 1978 and never needed to use the Torque Wrench which travels in the boot of my car. Perhaps I have been very fortunate, but I bet many like me will not see the need for one as expressed.

Posted on 01/01/2021 22:24 by TomLDoes this mean that you've never thought it sensible and appropriate to check the torque settings on your caravan and car wheels - even after the wheels haved been off for servicing, tyre changes?

When you have your caravan serviced the wheels are taken off to check the brakes. Where I have mine serviced they check the wheel nut torque settings while you watch. On the service sheet they advise that you re check the torque setting after 50 miles.

Posted on 02/01/2021 11:07 by EmilysDadBut there are many here that obsess over wheel bolt/nut torque ... I admit that I don't use my torque wrenches for either car or caravan but I've yet to lose a wheel. 😉

Posted on 02/01/2021 11:18 by LLMI often wonder if many understand what a torque wrench is for and how to use it, including so called mechanics / technicians .

Posted on 02/01/2021 16:26 by LLMMy experience of Aldi and especially Lidl tools is they are very good quality; only one item has been less than satisfactory.
