[QUOTE="VelocityYellowRules!, post: 120280, member: 1318"] While I know that the instructions say not to use them in reverse I was curious as to why the torque wrench has the ability to into a loosen mode at all if you shoul dnot be using in in that fashion? Any chance that it works without pressure being applied on the spring when going in reverse? The reason I ask is that I had to pop my tire off the car yesterday and brought out the wrench to torque down. It had been left in the required 20 lb ft minimum on the handle while in the case and I had a stuck nut so I put the torque wrench on it and never set it up higher and it popped off the nut without any clicking......................would not a wrench tightened to 90 lb ft require more than 20 lb ft to loosen it??
