Review on πŸ”§ Premium Performance Tool M205 1/2" Drive Torque Angle Gauge by Brian Inman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Misleading readings - save your money and your car

The only thing worse than a non-working gauge is one that gives misleading information. I read the reviews and considered buying, thinking if that doesn't work I might adjust the spring or o-ring as another reviewer suggested. Conclusion: It simply does not provide reliable readings. The turn signal plastic does not rotate smoothly with the key. I tried turning the key slowly and quickly, but it made no difference; it did not work. I've tried a thicker o-ring with no improvement. The only thing that helps is to glue the plastic indicator ring onto the shaft as soon as it is in the correct position. If I use the tool without modifications, I'm tightening the fasteners incorrectly. Too bad if it's a critical fastener on your engine. Very frustrating.

Pros
  • Adjustable lever has 2 different lengths for ease of use
Cons
  • Has been damaged
