Does this impact wrench have any adjustment for how tight it torques or do you just guess and finish it with a torque wrench?

You feather the trigger to stop well before bolt/nut is tight: should be less than hand tight at this point. Then use torque wrench. At least this is howwe use it on our car lug bolts. Given the torque spec on this unit, you definitely don't want to end up over-torqueing the bolt/nut.

The DW292 generates an output torque of 345 ft lbs. Unlike an air tool, it's not designed for adjustment. if you require a specific (tightening) torque value, you should utilize a torque wrench. I hope this helps.

There is no adjustment. You just guess. Over all it is a nice tool however.

No adjustment on this tool. You will have to use a torque wrench for final proper adjustment.

The Drill has 3 settings: "Full torque Hammer Drill, Full torque Standard Drill, and "Torque limited Screw drive mode" where you set the torque you want (Note that since this drill is brushless, it regulates torque electronically according your "clutch" setting, not an actual click-click mechanical clutch like older models). The Impact driver is "impact only" (of course...)

No, there is no adjustment for the torque. The longer you hold the trigger, the tighter the nut will get, up to the driver's maximum torque.

Yes, I just bought one and although I can adjust the torque to maximum, it requires a good deal of effort and takes what I think it too long to set especially since it is recommended that it be brought back to zero after use. I am planning on returning mine.

I don't know the exact torque value, lets just say it's good for light work and tight spaces which is why I got it. If you need heavier torque, I suggest you purchase a butterfly impact gun, flexable and easy to use. Assuming you have compressed air, beyond that, you would need a standard impact driver for the tough ones, and impact bits.

I didn't have any problems with mine, just used 2 crescent wrenches. Normal force will do it.

It can be calibrated the same way any torque wrench is cal'd. Any precision calibration shop will be able to do it. Scott Reilly, A&P; Mechanic

Not sure exactly but I would just use it on the lowest setting and dont hammer on them, use a torque wrench afterwards as well. You could also invest into a torque stick that limits the power of the impact when tightening lug nuts.

I don't know the exact torque settings, but with aluminum wheels I run it up on low and use a torque wrench to finish them off

No it doesn't. But I haven't had any problem with lug nuts. I'd not know what they were to be torqued at anyway. I have used this wrench on many things and it works well. It does seem like maybe it is not going to break a lug or bolt loose, but it does and retightens just fine with no effort on my part.

It has variable speed by use of the trigger, but there is no torque adjustment that I know of. Tire stores have "torque sticks" that are ½ " drive extensions that are color coded for different torque values = 65 ft/lb Green , 75 ft/lb Black, 80 ft/lb Yellow, 90 ft/lb Red, 100 ft/lb Blue, 110 ft/lb Orange, 120 ft/lb Grey, 130 ft/lb Maroon, 140 ft/lb White, 150 ft/lb Light Blue. These extensions limit the torque.

I think so for both of your questions. First make sure the pointer is lined up with the 0 mark, then torque to the line between 300 and 350 inch pounds. If you feel that super precision is necessary for any of your torquing, you might want to consider other types of wrenches. But, prepare to empty your wallet too.

These instructions are mostly for dealers that may be using large wrenches. 9 ft lbs is not very much torque. You should get about the right result by tightening firmly using normal key from a torx set.

i used it with an impact wrench. Make sure the threads are heavily lubed with oil.

I can't remember the torque setting and I don't have the manual anymore. However, I just checked my torque wrench, it is at 600 in-lb. I assume that I used 600 in-lb.

Its for torquing. not tightening. Many people do, but you will throw off the torque calibration!

I've used it on a 4.6L and saved me time because a adjustable wrench will not grip it correctly without rounding out the corners. The tool is cheap and worth it. Took me less than minute to loosen and remove.
