Advertisers like to use big words for a common item to make them seem
more important, and in the end get their hands on your money. If a
standard torque wrench works, use it. Otherwise that compamy will have
to manipulate your wallet, and probably in a big way. Specialty tools
are always overpriced.




Really. A specialty tool could mean an allen wrench.

A hammer is a specialty tool. It's specialty is pounding in nails. Do
you know any other hand tool that does that? (power tools not
included).


For electricians 9" linesman's pliers are a hammer and a prybar. A rock
could hammer nails also though any tool not meant to hammer nails would be
called a hammer.



Huh? "...any tool not meant to hammer nails would be called a hammer"

Wow, I've sure got a s-load of hammers in my workshop.

A special service tool is one intended for use on one special bit of
equipment and useless on any other.
I wouldn't expect to be able to buy one from just anywhere, it would
come solely from the manufacturer of the equipment.

A torque wrench can be used on anything where the tightness of a nut/
bolt is critical. You can buy one anywhere.

If I wanted to torque someone off by wacking them in the nuts with a
wrench, wouldn't a torque wrench be a special service tool?

No a size ten boot would fullfil the same function.

Is that in Metric boot size? ^_^

Absolutely not. A torque wrench is used to tighten any threaded
fastener to a specific torque. A "special service tool" is available
generally only from the manufacturer of the product being serviced. A
"special service tool" is only useful for the specific and possibly
unique task it was designed for.

An example of a special service tool is a clutch alignment tool. It
is good for only that one task... unless you need something to throw
at the neighbor's cat when it gets in your garage.

Or shove up the.... never mind. o_O

Really. A specialty tool could mean an allen wrench.

I had to install some point of sale credit card terminals with screens
that you use the attached plastic pen to electronically sign your name.
The mounting screws had a custom cut tamper resistant Torx like head and
a special unique driver bit that the customer kept in the store safe. If
you shatter a bit, it must be ordered from the manufacturer of the
fasteners by the part number assigned to the store chain. Total pain in
the posterior region of your body to deal with those horrible things. o_O
