Review on πŸ”§ Olsa Tools Split Beam Torque Wrench - 1/2 inch Drive, Accurate Range of 50-250 ft-lbs, Professional Grade + Certified by Jay Blo

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I can't read the dial

later On the outside this is a pretty nice copy of a real instrument. But due to the design choice of tiny gold letters on a black background, I can't read the torque wheel without aligning it in bright light so the letters reflect that light a bit. This will never work if used where the lighting is variable. My near vision isn't very good, but I wouldn't have a problem with this tool if it were a more accurate copy of the PI and used black letters on a white background. Dial, cutting off almost all the grids between the numbers. This tool is making a comeback due to poor letter contrast, font that is smaller than necessary and window obstruction. Work. In fact, such bad decisions usually require a committee.

Pros
  • while I'm happy
Cons
  • I'll write
