Review on 🔧 Lisle 28100 Torque Angle Gauge by Mike Dart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as intended but broken

The tool is not of the highest quality but good for occasional use. I had two problems. First, the flexible cable is attached to the head of the pressure gauge with a pressed "rivet”. This rivet came loose and the cable came loose. I fixed it by threading a rivet hole and installing a set screw. The second issue is that the 1/2" drive is very loose on the ratchet and nut. This sloppy fit makes the gauge somewhat inaccurate and the gauge has a tendency to fall off the ratchet when moved. And a general comment. There is some play between all parts of the ratchet, socket and accessories (extensions). Make sure to take advantage of this free game by lightly pressing the button in the same way while reading both the start and end points.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Some quirks
