Worry Free: Power Tools & Hand Tools

There are cheaper and more expensive torque wrenches out there. I got this for the reassurance of trusting the tool. It has a good positive click and is accurate according to my rustic test: A 3/8 screw has a typical torque of 15 ft-lb (180 in/lbs) without lubrication. I used a trusty CDI torque wrench (made by Snap On) to the low end of its 100-750 in-lb range and torqued to 150 in-lb. I used a notched wrench to tighten the same and the fastener didn't budge. I set this notched wrench to 160 in. lbs and it moved the nut slightly and then clicked. I paced back and forth, each button confirming the other as I worked my way up to 200 pounds. This allowed each wrench to run closer to the mid-range than the lowest setting on my other torque wrenches. I can recommend this 30-250" wrench, CDI 100-750 in-lbs, and for larger items like lug nuts I trust the cheaper TEKTON 1/2" Drive Click (10-150 ft.-) torque wrench. lb . ) because I'm not as concerned about the delicate fastener breaking off in an aluminum motorcycle engine. This is more for nuts and mounting motorcycle axles.
