Review on πŸ”§ TOOLUXE 03703L Dual Drive Beam Style Torque Wrench: 3/8” & ½” Drives, 17” Length, 0-150 Ft-Lbs, SAE, Premium Steel Alloy – Superior Torque Control & Durability by Rick Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's a durable and easy-to-use tool, much more versatile than a click-type torque wrench.

I've had several "click" style torque wrenches over the years and while some of them worked well, others quickly fell into disrepair. First, I like the ability to attach a double-sided outlet. Does a click type torque wrench have this option? No. This wrench is also easier to use as you don't have to constantly adjust the wrench for different feet/lbs. Values. You can carefully read the force applied to the fastener. It's also easier to use as you can turn the key both forwards and backwards without damaging the tool, unlike "click" keys. . At first I didn't think I would use it until I had to change the spark plugs. A 1/2 inch head would be too bulky to fit in wells. And remember that the 3/8" adapter is not designed for larger screws. Better to be safe and use the same socket in a 1/2 inch drive. Also, be sure to clean the threads and lubricate the screw before installation. Speaking of tightening big bolts, I used it. B. when installing the head gasket bolts. This key feels good and is worth the money. In fact, I was so happy with it that I bought it for my dad!
