Review on 🦍 Gorilla Automotive TW605 Torque Wrench: Optimize Precision and Performance with this Powerful Tool by David Bar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great torque wrench for car enthusiasts

I used to buy a Titan 3/8 inch. Revain drive torque wrenches, had torque settings from 0 to 80 ft lb which I actually broke trying to loosen a car wheel bolt and since the maximum torque on the wrench was 80 ft lb I broke 3/8 fasteners on it because there the wheel bolts from the wheel magazine were very tight, the torque wrench tightened the bolts. That was my fault too, I didn't know you can't loosen bolts with a torque wrench, oops. Compare this torque wrench to the one at 1/2 inch. The Gorilla Torque Wrench Drive from 0 feet to 150 pounds feels a lot more powerful, and not just because it's 1/2 inch. the drivetrain compared to the 3/8", but the whole wrench is a solid piece compared to the titanium, which had a handle that felt cheap. The adjustability is easy to read and install, and the great thing about this vein is that it comes in a 3/8" size. a small nozzle, as well as a longer extended 1/2" nozzle for those hard-to-reach spots. With the add-on, you don't have to buy all the heads new when you're in the only have 1/2" right now. or 3/8 inch. sockets. The box body is black and better than the Titan. I bought it primarily to tighten my wheel bolts to 65 ft.lb. I don't intend to use higher settings than when repairing a car. Highly recommended for car fans. Also, most stores don't even have a 3/8 inch. Torque wrenches because they are easier to break than 1/2 inch. So if you want to get about 80 feet per pound, it's better to go with 1/2 inch. Drive. I learned it the hard way. Good luck with your decision. Raven is great.
