Question: Torque settings

[Barry Smyth]

I have a torque wrench that starts @ 6NM & noticed that the rear hub bearing flange nut needs to be toured in @ between 4.7 & 5.2

Does it matter if I torque the nut at the min setting on my wrench?

I've never torqued that nut. Just nice & tight with a bit of .

Most inexpensive clicker type torque wrenches are not so precise at the lower end of their range. Sometimes up to 20% of the lower end is inaccurate.

i concur
ive just bought a smaller "tuv etc approved" 20 quid one from ebay and checked it on the torque gauges at work

set at 16 foot pounds it clicks between 7 and 25 depending on the speed of turn

false economy methinks
