Review on Capri Tools 20 245 Torque Wrench by Rich Ferguson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good budget torque wrench

I have been using this torque wrench for several years now. I give it five stars because it's easy to use and (most importantly) feels accurate. To evaluate its accuracy I compared it to another torque wrench and the results were very similar. I have a few criticisms, but none of them would be so severe as to cost him stars in the reviews. After all, this is a budget torque wrench. It would be nice if there was a clearer and louder click when the torque reaches the set value. The click is pretty subtle and I'm wondering if other reviewers who said it didn't work for them missed it, just a click. Second, for portability reasons, it would be nice if it came in a case designed for that particular model, rather than one that's about 50% longer than necessary. But those are minor quirks: I quickly learned to spot a click, and case size doesn't matter. This is a very good budget torque wrench.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Long delivery time
