Review on 🔧 Precision Torque Control: Wiha 28506 TorqueVario-S Torque Screwdriver, 10-50 Inch Pound by Ronnie Segobiano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great EXCEPT. for Power Tools and Hand Tools

This tool costs over $100. This is very expensive for a small torque wrench. Despite this, it is very well made and I expect many years of use. The instructions are terrible. International destinations without words. It really means understanding it yourself. My biggest gripe with the wrench is that it comes with a 1/8" adapter, which is insulting. I think we can all agree that 1/4" bits are standard and rotating everything is also a nice trick to ensure you don't have to shell out another 10-15$ for an adapter (as if a wrenches would no longer be expensive enough) Very often when I buy a Wiha I like the tools, but I feel cheated - for the price and the careful exclusion of details. That's why they don't get 5 stars. I am attaching some pictures of the item and instructions. How to use it. It comes in three parts. 1: key itself. 2: torque controller. 3: Adapter with 1/8" female thread. You take the torque adjuster and stick it into the wrench all the way down. You twist it to the correct torque (there's a little hole in the plastic showing the number), then you remove the torque-adjustable screwdriver and replaces it with an adapter that accepts the bits (you can't use anything off the shelf, it has to be theirs).The adapter is fully inserted into the housing and "clicks" in. (Adaptor length is about 6". You can then insert a little and tighten the fasteners. Knowing this will save you a few minutes trying to decipher the worst of the instructions that come with a wrench. Pros: Well made, long lasting Specific cons: Very expensive Terrible documentation No usable adapter So thanks for your time If you order this just bite the bullet and buy one too a 1/4" bit adapter. You will find that the wrench is useless without it.
