Review on LEXIVON Inch Pound Torque Wrench LX-181: Precise 1/4-Inch Drive, 20~200 in-lb/2.26~22.6 Nm - Powerful and Reliable by Govindarajan Diepenbrock

I've been an auto mechanic since I was old enough to know what tools are for, so I've used every torque wrench made for over 40 years; Snap (frequently and awaiting replacement) on Mac, Matco, Craftsman, Progressive, Proto, CDI, Williams, AC Delco etc etc. From idler beams to electronic/digital and everything else but mostly those "click" units. I bought one of these to work on my MTB projects and nothing tells me not to give this tool a good review. I've had it not long ago, but have used it quite a bit in the short time I've had, just enough to be sure it will last as long as someone needs if used properly and is maintained. The release isn't loud, but it shouldn't be at these low torque settings anyway, just not enough force to produce a loud click considering how these tools work and are made. None of the other 1/4"'s I've used are any louder. The action is a little less "sharp" and has a softer trigger indication than most, but I don't see anything wrong with that and if you know what you're doing do and watch and use the tool properly i see no reason i turn the music up as loud as i can without disturbing others and i have made it loud enough with it and run about 125 inch pound bolts with it as well as some 40" bolts and I've had absolutely no detection issues. when the setting is reached, and back out the torque, 'click'. It's smoother, but it's hardly hard to detect. I've got the accuracy with one too Tested Craftsman deflection beam which I have used and trusted for years and one of my buddies a very expensive (and very delicate) Junkers Snap and that's for sure I think some people complain just for the sake of complaining and nothing will happen as their trusted, trustworthy, and true brand, no matter how many times they fail. Replacement if the employee decides after a thorough examination whether it is a tool error or a user error. I'll tell you from experience, most of you have a catalog of long-winded reasons why this is most often user error, whatever they are. I'm willing to make a replacement price deal with you on all of this except for the Craftsman, which I switched to after telling a Snap rep to take his $25,000+ box of scrap and shove it in because I tired of customers waiting for their cars while I was on hold Tool salesman (a detective who shows up to "make a deal with me" for tools I've always used correctly or I have to run a shop that sells handymen so i can buy a decent tool i can replace wherever they sell without research or questions it's when i break something i don't remember whatever , I think it definitely won t last much longer than 2 year warranty I would not hesitate to buy it again or recommend it IMO a pretty good tool.
