Review on Powerbuilt 940962 Digital Torque Adapter by Jose Miller

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good enough, but buy an extra battery!

Lithium battery 3V CR2032 - buy at least one extra if you buy this torque meter - you will need it. This has been pointed out by previous reviewers, but I took a chance. The battery was empty after an hour of use. As it turns out, that was enough to feel the torque on some of the rocker arm bolts (124 in-lbs) once I learned how to use it. Also, the beep is barely audible, but the LED on the front will flash as you approach your target torque, then illuminate when you reach it. So that means it's still functional, but it also means you have to aim it so you can always see it while using it. If it had a louder beep and a longer battery I would give it 5 stars.
