Review on πŸ”§ CDI Torque 2503MFRPH: Industrial-Grade 1/2-Inch Drive Adjustable Micrometer Torque Wrench (30-250 ft-lbs) by Joe Patterson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great selection of 3/8 " torque wrenches!

When I wanted to add a pair of torque wrenches to my tool kit I was a bit apprehensive about this model not passing the reviews. There was nothing to worry about. As you probably know when buying a torque wrench quality is what counts, CDI is sort of an offshoot of the popular SnapOn brand, albeit at a comparatively lower price point, was the class I was aiming for, somewhere between a cheap tool (better than say a handyman) and a less professional mechanic.and this one fits the bill.It's important to have a good range.It is also known that torque wrenches are more accurate in the middle of the specified range and not at the end of the nominal range.A one size fits all solution exists So it's more likely that you're getting Leas Two Torque Wrenches watch when you work on a car. The most common use of a torque wrench. For me the two torque wrenches I went with were the CDI 30-250 ft-lb 1/2" drive 2503MFRPH and this CDI 10002MRPH. Nuts and bolts. Another wrench gives me 50 feet to a good 200 feet, used for large nuts nuts and bolts I found they complemented each other quite well and really didn't have anything I couldn't tighten with the ranges these two buttons offer.As for accuracy I don't have professional test equipment or similar hold fluids and there were no leaks or streaks and tightening things like hubs precisely with no problem so I think that's what really matters results right everything is in foot pounds but I'll do the math new, put it in my annual maintenance and never have to find out again. At the time of purchase my certification sticker was about 6 months old so I guess it's been on the shelf for a while. But 6 months does the trick I don't mind. It has lasted over a year with good care and I don't see any future problems other than maybe recalibrating from time to time. Overall I think this is a good choice for a low to mid-range price. Power Torque Wrench. If you're looking to fill out that lower space, don't lose sight of this model.
