The carrier apparently keeps this item in a cupboard full of scented tea towels, or it came that way from the manufacturer. The scent is so strong that everyone comments on it and it worries the people who use it. There must be a short somewhere in the torque wrench because when we first opened it up and put the batteries in, it broke off in the middle. Turning or shaking the key. It was my first time using it in autocross and I had to rush to get on the grid after our race wheels/tires were fitted to the car. Tightening each lug nut took forever because the wrench was loosening (loosening) with every movement during the tightening. When I turned it back on it didn't remember the torque settings I had before turning it off as the power was completely isolated from the circuitry inside. We don't know how he did it. It looked like the battery warning (low battery?) would pop up occasionally during this busy period. I had to babysit the wrench all the time like it was a nitroglycerin explosive. I genuinely regret the purchase and with no sign of prior use can only assume the serious amount of flavor inside is from the manufacturer. We put this key outside (also a case) so it can air, but the smell will not go away. That's not gasoline smell, it's FeBreeze. It's totally insulting!
