 Good quality tool - good overall product November 25, 2007

This tool is well made, graduated in SAE and metric, and comes with case and manual. I bought it for working on my motorcycle.
The case is excellent, as it contains moulded slots for extensions and adapters as well. Buy a 3/8"-1/2' adapter with it!
The manual is obviously a literal translation but does the job well, by explaining the theory behind the use of a torque-wrench, and includes conversion formulae and calculations for use of an extension.
Have not had it long enough to test its durability, but the tool seems of good construction. I have had enough bad tools to know...
 disappointed its not marked in Newton-meters November 12, 2007

Contrary to the previous reviewer, this wrench is NOT marked in Nm (Newton-meters). Rather, it's marked in ft-lbs and m-Kgs. While that means it's technically both metric and SAE, the metric scale that is listed in all of auto manuals is Nm.
The construction of the wrench appears decent and it feels good, but I don't want to have to consult a torque-conversion table every time I tighten something. So I may just end up sending this back and try to fine another 3/8" marked in Nm. Too bad... it appears to be a good product.

Seems to work well for it's intended use. For the price, it's great. I haven't used it much, but the shorter length makes it more convenient to use than a full size torque wrench. Only peeve is that it is calibrated in Newton-Meters and Meter-Kilograms, but most torque specs are now in metric, and conversion is easy.

i believe 10-80 ft/lbs range is ideal for the weekend shade-tree auto mechanic. i used this wrench for suspension, brakes and minor engine work. overall very pleased, has a solid feel to it. not the best torque wrench i've seen so far but much better than that auto store loaner tools. i expect to use it for a long time. keep in mind that torque wrenches are not meant to be dropped, used as hammers or breaker bars.
