New TM driver no wrench?

[grisham]

I just purchased a new TM driver (300 mini) from the TM website and it did not come with a wrench. Is that typical for TM? First time ordering from TM. I emailed TM a couple days ago and no response yet. 

[ProjectX]

Typically drivers come with one and fairways do not. They could be treating it like a fairway.

I could be wrong, but I thought I read that OEMs were not going to provide a wrench as a default anymore. Basically everyone has one so they were going to cut that out...

 

Any wrench will work if you have one from any other OEM.

That’s a good question. I’ve got the original M1 and it came with a t handle. For the price they charge, they should definitely be coming with a tool to adjust.

I didn't get one with my 300 Mini, but I bought it in a physical store so the employees could have easily forgotten if it was supposed to come with one.  Regardless, this is Golfwrx, so you should have at least 8-10 of those if you're doing things properly, lol.

I didn’t get one with my store bought 300 Mini Driver but I had an old one laying around from an R9 SuperTri that fits and works fine along with the one that came with my Mizuno hybrid.

I also didn't get one with the Mini that I got from TM.

 

I went through a fitter, and the head was already installed in the setting I was fit for, which was nice. The grip is on straight even though it's in the +1.5 loft setting.

Not a big deal. Just go to Lowe's or Home Depot, buy a T20 wrench, maybe $5. 

 

OEM supplied wrenches are nothing special.

T20 torx bit or T20 screwdriver works just fine.  I keep one in my bag.

[RobotDoctor]

I have a Titleist wrench.  Works just fine with all the TM adjustable woods I’ve used since the 915 D3 failed experiment in 2015.

Although all OEM wrenches may fit, are the torque values the same?

[cardigan]

I'd feel comfortable using a torque wrench from another driver that fit.  I'd be hesitant to use a torque screwdriver that fit for fear of over-tightening.

After like 20 years of TM supplying them and then being the industry standard for the past 10 years, I'm surprised people don't have like 7-8 laying around.  I know I have one in each bag and then a few here and there.

Mine is a torque wrench, so it isn't like what you get at Lowes. If you have a torque wrench already, then all you need is a t20 socket. 

 

The white TM wrench is 40, not sure of the torque specs for all drivers but likely the same.

I hear you, but I've never bought into the need for the torque aspect. Just tighten it enough so it's not loose, like any other screw. Never had one go loose on me.

 

Or I'm just not strong enough to over-tighten it. That could be it too lol

[Justsomeguy]

So are all torque wrenches across all manufacturers the same setting? I've got 3 from 3 different oems...

[copegolfer]

When I bought a cobra F8 3wood a few years ago direct from cobra, it didn’t come with a wrench. 

i emailed and they responded saying they don’t send them out anymore. (Someone above already said that) 

but, he did say he would send one if I needed it.

Unless one is a Cobra wrench from like 7 years ago yes.  That one had a tip that was a bit smaller.

I've never had issues with OE weights, but I stripped a few ebay weights well before getting to 40. 🤣

 

As a QA Engineer, I tend to follow specs on things like torque. I can't help it.

Are the torque specs the same or just the tips?

[MountainKing]

You can find them on ebay for under $15.

I don't pay attention to the "torque specs" as I'm not that anal and this would be the first time I think I've ever heard of people worrying about this.  I tighten till it pops and off I go.  I've only had 1 screw break and it was my fault in slamming the club in the ground.

I'm gonna assume they're all just standardized, even if that's stupid, bc they're not exactly different mechanisms.

The torque specs are just like torquing the lug nuts on your car wheel. Overtighten with an air gun and you can't get em off on the side of the road. Undertighten and you risk getting loose.

For the golf club I don't wanna keep turning the wrong wrench til it clicks because unlike a steel wheel, the screw could deform the metal underneath. If a Titleist torque wrench does 50 pound inches and a cobra does 30, you get the picture.
