Review on πŸ”§ Lisle 28100 Torque Angle Gauge by Terrence Castillo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is probably the closest thing to a digital L-key.

Probably the closest digital angle wrench to an expensive one. I had a cheap Fel Pro that I used for many years and I really hated holding the meter with one hand and turning the latch with the other and my face turned blue from the exertion and wished I had more hands or more movement. Very uncomfortable. This makes work considerably easier. Frees your hands. Four stars because the dial is hard to read, but neither is the Fel Pro. Simple solution: I marked the zero angle with color and the desired angle with color. Then when shooting it is easy to understand where to start and where to stop. As far as sloppiness goes, the Fel Pro is the same. However, the simple fix here is to hold the actuator plug clockwise when mated to the stud. Then set the counter to zero while continuing to hold the extension clockwise with light pressure. block him Now when you place a breaker on the extension it will start at the true zero on the gauge after the slope has increased. And yes, you need to change the cable position for a different screw position. So what? It's $30, not $300. Buy a $300 tool if that's too much hassle. It must have taken me another 5 minutes to tighten 12 bolts with this tool via the digital L-wrench. But I also saved $270.
