Review on ๐Ÿ”ง GEARWRENCH 1/2-Inch Drive Micrometer Torque Wrench 30-250 Foot Pounds - Model 85066 by Jason Mitts

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Previously reliable in Power & Hand Tools

I bought this to replace an old SK they had left behind. I can't afford another SK at the moment and have several other smaller Gearwrench torque wrenches so I decided to give this one a try. My old Gearwrench keys, bought about 10 years ago, were made in the USA. Unfortunately they are no longer available and are now made in China. However, you won't find out by using it. It is very durable and well built and handling is excellent. I immediately checked the accuracy on the gauge and it was less than 2lbs at 150ft/lbs which is very good. I don't like the sliding sleeve as much as the twist lock on my US models, and they also have a nicer soft grip, but those are minor complaints. Overall this is a very good product and just as reliable as my old Self Help SK.

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • High Price
