possible broken taylormade wrench

[michaeljames92]

hi guys was just using my new r7 460 at the range and i wanted to change the weights and i found that the wrench wouldn't seem to unscrew cartridges. instead of turning the torque wrench just easily makes that clicking sound like when you over tighten a cartridge. could someone help? im really sweating on this as its actually my fathers and not mine. Edit: i went to the pro shop and the guy used his and he could unscrew it. has anyone got any ideas? the people i played with think that the tread is worn down but i disagree as the torque wrench seems easier to make that cracking noise when you dont put as much pressure on it.

It sounds like the wrench is broken. That "clicking" sound is not from "overtightening" the weights, but from when the clutch is engaged. The wrench will not allow you to overtighten the weights by engaging a "clutch" that slips when it reaches a certain torque, or tightness. When I tighten my weights I turn until it clicks, meaning it's tight enough.

You can pickup another wrench on ebay for cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-TaylorMade-r...QQcmdZViewItem

Hope that helps.

That's exactly why I prefer lead tape to adjustable clubs.

I agree, although I wonder whether whoever put the weight(s) in previously didn't use the TM torque wrench and over-tightened them.
