rabbitstew Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Do you mean the actual bit which the socket pushes onto? Im pretty sure on my torque wrench that bit doesnt actually come out, but i guess each wrench is different. Unless its a snap on or similar brand, i suspect you wont be able to just buy that bit?

Zugara Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Prob, called the "drive"whether it be 1/4, 1/2, 3/8, 3/4 inch. So you could say, I have lost my 1/2" drive off my torque wrench. For example! What size is it, and what make is it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 1/2 inch drive then norbar is the make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 And I thought he meant "what's the middle bit of the drain called?" Prob, called the "drive"whether it be 1/4, 1/2, 3/8, 3/4 inch.

Dblock Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 No really you're the stupid one here. You don't phone up Argos about a spare part for your toaster do you? Manufacturer or rep. Email these guys, http://www.diytools.co.uk/norbar-torque ... 13265.html and say what? excuse me break a 70 odd pound torque wrench and sell me the 1/2" drive for 12p?

Zugara Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well Argos don't sell spares for torque wrenches do they whereas a tool, yes that's a tool supplier might actually be able to buy spares in for you, because they deal with the manufacturers and trade suppliers, plus it would save hours of Internet trawling. So, in summary, your the stupid one for thinking Argos sell spares, we all know they don't so why would anyone, apart from you call Argos for any spare part.......stupid And further, reps and manufacturers don't deal with the public unless you have a trade account do they now poppet......
