Customer Insights: Rated 4.5/5 from 82 reviews.
Very reasonably priced torque wrench. Seems pretty good overall quality and nice to replace my 40 years old Craftsman one. Only suggestion is making the scale a little easier to read
I like the sturdy product that performs well. To choose the setting is just a little difficult to view on the rotating shaft but is ok once you are accostomed.
Budget-friendly torque wrench that does the job for most garage work. The click is easy to feel and hear, the range covers a lot of common automotive fasteners, and the 1/2” drive feels right for wheels and suspension-style torque values. Setup is straightforward
Been using the old needle torque wrench for 40 years, glad I found this new replacement click type, read reviews,tips and information about this wrench and you'll never have to worry. Used to spec torque bolts on new leaf springs/u-bolts for truck frame repairs, works nice. Longer handled tool was a nice addition.
Purchased recently to ensure proper torque applied to lug nuts. Very pleased with quality of wrench. Highly recommend
Seems to work well. I have used it, rebuilding the front suspension on my GMC truck and it worked fine for it.
It's accurate and is pretty well made. For the price it would be tough to beat. Even a used torque wrench from a big name would be more expensive and should be calibrated which would make it as expensive as a new one of those. Best to buy new with a torque wrench in my opinion. Overall it's a good deal and hopefully will last a long time. Fast shipping from Walmart
I do not like this Torque Wrench at all. The Adjustment, and the locking mechanism keep getting stuck, so I have to constantly fiddle with it just to get it to the desired Torque. In the mid range, the Torque is about 5% off. When used closer to the Min and Max values, like say 25FT/LB, it's off by about 20%. I also found it to be off by about 15% when used in reverse (CCW) at the mid range. The only thing I would trust this with would probably be Lug Nuts, but for the price, there's better out there.
It's mainly my fault because I didn't check the specifications. I wanted an inch pound torque wrench. This one is kind of useless because it's range is 120-960 inch pounds. Most intake manifold torques are less than 100 inch pounds.This wrench is more suitable for low foot pound applications from 10-80 foot pounds. If you want a better inch pound torque wrench find one that starts at zero.
piece of crap.. everything is loose and will not stay in spec. I guess it's not the seller's fault you get watch pay for.. I would send it back but not sure they will give refunds
