Great value for money torque wrench

Everything about this torque wrench looks like a chrome Tekton wrench. I'm assuming Tekton did this as an OEM rebrand for anyone looking to sell them. The overall quality matches the price. This is an old fashioned torque wrench with few teeth. The handle is finely knurled and good enough for greasy/greasy hands. The only complaint I have is that the legend folds into a handle and can be a bit difficult to read but does not rub off with use. I can't confirm the accuracy as I don't have a meter to test it. It worked great for me on several projects that needed to be within a few pounds. I can only assume that it should be accurate enough. For a budget key, it's worth the price for casual use. I would recommend opening up the head and applying red lithium grease to the spur gear and pawls. Also, never store it with or without full torque. Always store it with little torque. With maximum torque or no torque, the mainspring and other parts will deform or loosen over time.

Pros
  • High contrast dual range dial pre-calibrated to Β±4%
Cons
  • Expensive
