Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Teng Tools 1/2 Inch Drive Torque Wrench - Bi Directional 10-150ft-lb (Model 1292UAGER) in Red by Ryan Hoover

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NOT bi-directional: Torque wrench

Looks like a good quality torque wrench. Feels well built. Comes in a nice case. The angle sensor is also a nice touch. Unfortunately I bought it to use on reverse thread camshaft bolts. Screws withstand 110 Nm. I did the first run with 50 Nm. It didn't click and was quite tight so I reduced it to 40Nm. It still doesn't click, so the camshaft bolt has broken. Tested on a couple of standard screws and seems to work fine clockwise. Calibration card checked, this is only checked/calibrated clockwise. This is NOT a bi-directional torque wrench. It may be a bi-directional ratchet, but it's not as advertised. Now I have to lower the oil pan and remove the front timing cover, plus a new camshaft bolt and 4 hours of time that I'll never get back.

Pros
  • Torque wrench makes an audible and tactile click when target is reached
Cons
  • Drive socket required
