Torque wrench at a very competitive price

Spin on a motorcycle. This key expands my arsenal of tools and I'm glad I have it. Here are the pros and cons of this key as I see them. Pros: * Good/respectable accuracy. +/-4% is a good average for a non-premium torque wrench in this range. You can get better accuracy, but you'll pay a lot for it. Factory calibration.* Measuring range. The 40 to 200 inch-pound range is a good and common range. Other keys may have a slightly lower or higher pitch, but you'll likely pay more for the extra range*. User friendliness. Using a torque wrench is fairly common. Some may need to loosen the end cap to rotate and adjust the reach, just slide the green ring down. Nice and simple. * Easy readability of settings. No laser engraving, just stamped numbers. It's easy to read, but it takes a little getting used to how the measurements are initially set. (At least that was the case for me.) * All-steel construction (i.e. outside of the handle). It appears to be a cost saving that doesn't affect usability, although it may be less durable if dropped. * Includes storage case. (Although almost everyone does.) * Quick release button. Cons: * Really only a small change, but I would appreciate the laser engraved markers and a metal stylus. So a good key that offers reliable accuracy at a reasonable price. There are better wrenches at higher prices and cheaper no-name wrenches that can be had for less, but this is definitely one that compares to other products in this value for money category.

Pros
  • STRENGTH: All-metal construction
Cons
  • Working speed
