Been on the hunt for a cheap (and accurate) digital torque wrench for a few years! Can't speak to the durability just yet, but so far so good and for the price... can't really beat it!
Man I’ve been wanting a digital torque wrench as well but didn’t want to pay those high prices. I’ll definitely be getting me one of these, covers everything ft lbs in lbs and all three sizes you just can’t beat that for less than a hundred buck. I’ll look up the warranty to see how long it is thanks for the video
the blue one isn't as good as this, I just bought one of these... awaiting in the mail... I got the 3/8 one... the blue one might come with a set of cheap sockets but it has less torque and functions, trust me... the price difference is for the sockets... this one comes with a socket changer but when you do torque you should use the proper drive not really use adapters and things... you can but its not the proper way... thats why they have different drive torque wrenches... this orange thing I believe can do angle torquing also from the pics I have seen but havn't heard anyone talk about this setting... I will investigate when I get mine in a few days ... nice review man
Thanks! That's a good point about the angle torquing. If it's possible, it doesn't mention it in the manual. I read all manuals! LOL. Thanks for the feedback.
@@ToolDeals Hey no worries man at all... great review... The manual is very basic and I believe possibly misses out a lot due to language barriers etc. It was the same with their Inspector Camera I got the other day from them, which I belive is the best on the market... Check that out man, do a review on that you will be shocked how good they are!... The reason I believe the angle torquing exists is that is actually a measurment for angle... if it's not what is it? You get what I mean hey? Like when you go to set the Torque level in the units you can see in the top row a degrees type symbol...
I disagree. The big one in the video starts at 25 ft. pounds. The blue one starts at 12.5 foot pounds. I don't know if you have ever changed your own transmission fluid and have dropped the pan, but after you have emptied out all the old transmission fluid and bolts up the pan, Those bolts require 12 or 13 foot pounds of torque. My Dodge truck calls for 13 foot pounds on the transmission pan bolts, and the oil pan bolts. The big one is useless if you have to torque anything less than 25 foot pounds. And it goes up to 250 foot pounds I believe, you never gonna need anything more than that. So I disagree with your assessment. You should be happy with the blue one unless you don't ever change your transmission fluid. One other thing, I bought the blue one on eBay for $75.99 with free shipping.
There's only one problem with that big torque wrench. There are lots of parts on a car, specifically your transmission pan and your oil pan underneath require torque settings of 12 or 13 foot pounds. The blue one is the obvious choice because that value starts at 12.5 ft. pounds. Your big one starts at 25 ft. pounds. Useless for tightening and torquing bolts on the oil pan and transmission pan and other critical parts. I'll take the blue one over the big one.
Agreed. But most torque wrenches aren't one size fits all. I have two that give me a range between 12 ft lbs and 250. But even now I need one that goes from about 200 to 650 for my RV.
@@ToolDeals different strokes, for different folks. I need the small one for pan volts and such, and the big one for big jobs. Like torquing the lug nuts on the wheels on my truck. It's nice to have a big one for that extra leverage, my lugs required 90 foot pounds.
