This will, in the end, be determined by how cold your garage gets. It's not a good idea to leave this wrench out in the cold. If it's been left in a cold environment, I'd recommend bringing it back to room temperature for at least an hour before using it. If this is done correctly, the accuracy should be maintained. Cold temperatures are bad for the electronics in this wrench, in addition to the accuracy. Thanks.
It works in the same way as a torque wrench with a click mechanism. The display will reflect the settings you've made - It doesn't matter how much torque you apply. When setting up, a dial in is easier to read.
The digital readout's lowest setting is: 15 ft. lbs. which is the same as 180 in. lbs.
No, not at all. You could, however, choose a setting and test whether the nut rotates before the wrench clicks. br>br>While this isn't the best tool for determining a fastener's current torque, the process is effective. br>br>Avoid overtorquing fasteners at all costs.
Selected User Reviews For eTORK 1/2-Inch Drive "Click Style" Electronic Torque Wrench (25-250 ft.-lb./33.9-339 N.m)
I compared this wrench to one of my Snap-on friends. This eTork was tested within 3% of both On and Mac torque wrenches and this eTork was tested within 3% of both of them both. For my aging eyes, the eTork adjustment is very smooth, and the digital readout is a must. I also appreciate the ability to measure reverse or left-hand thread torque. Some users have expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that this wrench only has 45 ratchet teeth. Above 150 feet, I'm not sure I'd want to be torqueing. lbs. Because I use a fine tooth ratchet, 45 teeth is sufficient for me. br>br>In addition, I installed two silver oxide 357 batteries to replace the lr44 batteries that came with the unit. These silver oxides will last much longer than alkalines and will not leak nearly as much. br>br>Overall, this is a high-quality digital torque wrench at an affordable price. kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd kd k.
The pros torque wrench looks nice has an easy grip handle easy to read screen the cons torque wrench looks different than in the picture the picture has a smooth chrome finish the one that came to me has a rough finish and silver in color settings to zeros were also a bit tricky for example if I want 80 lb it will stop at 80. I also did some tests, starting at 50 pounds - I'll have to play with the knob back and forth until it decides to stop at zero. I started at 80 pounds and worked my way up in 10 pound increments, so here's what I ended up with: 50 pound - 60 lb it clicked at 50 lb, then I switched to 60 lb and it clicked but didn't turn the nut even an inch, so I tried 70-lb. I requested a replacement and it arrived today, but unfortunately it was packaged the same way one piece of paper in a box twice its size with no protection, which may be part of the reason why it's not very accurate. br>Update: I requested a replacement and it arrived today, but unfortunately it was packaged the same way one piece of paper in a box twice its size with no protection, which may be part of the reason why it's not very accurate.

Pros:
- It appears to be very well constructed, but that is just a matter of appearances.
- It's simple to use and adjust, despite the knob's sensitivity; you can get a good 1 NM /- with it. after you've adjusted it and locked it
- A variety of measurement units are available. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product.
- The one that stands out for me the most is this: The amount of play on this wrench astounded me. I'm serious.
- Small adapters to go from 1/2" to 3/8 and 1/4 are in short supply. It would have been nice if they were in the case. br>br>So, if you don't have enough space to tighten a bolt, you might be screwed by its play.
This tool is of exceptional quality and durability. Using it is simple. To set the torque value, I don't require my reading glasses. My tool's serial number was listed on the detailed calibration sheet that came with it. Following the sale, I received a nice email letter from the company president, which included his phone number and invited me to call him directly if I had any questions. The torque on this wrench is 25. 250 ft. lb. The readout, however, is only 15 feet long. lbs. When I contacted them, they informed me that it could be used down to 15 feet. lbs. , but it was calibrated for a different range.
I purchased this in order to replace my cheap torque wrench with something more reliable. I was concerned about the price when I first ordered, but I'm very pleased with the product; I used it to make a tie rod and break change on my wife's edge, and it worked perfectly. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
Overall, the construction quality is acceptable. The wrench has excellent metal components. I'm not crazy about the plastic handle. What was the deciding factor in my decision to return it? The handle adjuster for selecting your target torque spec is a disaster. Even after it's "locked," it can stray slightly from what you "selected," and why couldn't they just use arrow buttons to place static values like Kobalt or Quinn? It's a LOT easier to use these than the built-in torque spec adjuster on the handle. It's a cool idea, but it needs to be a lot more precise (add a click-through). lock-style When you rotate the handle, for example, to provide tactile feedback to the user, and to prevent the dialed-in value from straying when you just nudge the handle adjuster). br>br>Given the price of this wrench, it's probably worth it. Get a Kobalt or Quinn digital torque wrench that can also do angle torquing in addition to standard torque to spec. You might have to pay an extra $60-$100. Given the drawbacks of this wrench, I believe it is well worth the extra money spent. It has potential, but it's not something I'd use for a rebuild, especially if you rely on statically-controlled components. Torque spec values and angle torquing can both be set.
I needed to tighten two bolts in a tight spot with limited access. I tried two other torque wrenches, but neither fit in the available space. On Amazon, I contacted the seller through the "contact seller" feature. Cliff replied the next day after I sent it on Saturday. He had one at his house and gave me the measurements of the wrench's head. I decided that wrench would be the best tool for the job. It did. Cliff, I appreciate it. br>It appears to be well-constructed. Prior to receiving it, I thought the digital display was a bit of a gimmick. It isn't because it makes using the wrench a breeze. It's simple to adjust the torque. There were test results for it in the wrench case. All were within 3% of the setting limits of the limitations of the limitations of the limitations br>br>For anyone who is serious about their work, this is a good investment.
My son is "souping up" or "modifying" his Mustang, as we used to call it back in the day. This has come in handy a number of times when a specific torque is required. Although it is heavier and has a longer handle, I believe it provides adequate leverage. The following are some of the car parts we used it on: Lower control arms, drive shaft bolts, and the Pan Hard bar are all things that need to be rotated. Bolts for manifolds It's incredibly simple to set up, and the digital display is EASIER TO READ than a traditional wrench with numbers carved or molded into the side for these older eyes. It also comes with a fantastic plastic carrying case.
