Why else would
they put a reversible ratchet head on a torque wrench????

Ask DeWalt or all the other wrench companies ..

* Bite the bullet John , Clare nailed it . Torque wrenches are NOT
designed to loosen fasteners . Why do you think they call them "BREAKER"
bars ?



I'm not arguing with Clare or DeWalt ... except -
... why do they put a reverse option ?
on the cheap homeowner torque wrench that
is not meant for that task ?
.. and then print strict warnings to never use it
to loosen a lug nut ...
