Bolts on the box blade and brush hog of our tractor at the farm, anchor bolts for the metal buildings I sometimes do.

Oh. Ya you gotta get a more expensive one for those. But from what little research i did seems like the higher they go up the less accurate they are down low.

We had to buy one of these to get to the 1000+ lbft some of our stuff takes..... They're pricey but the company ate it and I get to keep it on my service truck

Anything over 600 we break out the 4:1. But I did torque some heads to 600 the other night. Two heads, 10 bolts each, 3 passes, 200, 400, and 600 all by hand. It was a Waukesha 7042 12cyl natural gas engine. Each cylinder has it's own head and valve cover. Big hp ****

I should post pics of some of the **** I turn wrenches on nowadays lol.

With the multiplier, 250lbft = 1000lbft.
