Description of VASTOOLS Torque Angle Meter Flexible: Tracking Precision Torque with Ease
For tightening bolts by angle rotation. Reach designed and tested to reach fastener in difficult work areas. Equipped with a flexible arm and a range of 0 ° - 360 °. 1/2" male and female square drives. Easily zeroed for next application.
This made working with the connecting rod bearing much easier. The tool is easy to use, stays in place with the boom and the torque angle is very easy to fine tune. The smaller, cheaper ones don't work as well.
This gauge is pretty good. Way better than others you will find at your average auto parts store. Seems very well done. My only complaint is that the numbers feel like a sticker that I think will one day get oily and fall off. I wish they were engraved on metal. 4 stars because of that.
Asked before buying about the junk I got from the dealership. The clamp can literally be "attached to anything near or around the screw to be tightened". The line attached to the clamp by the tool may be loose, slightly bent, or even slightly curved. I needed this for an overhaul on my Ford 4.0 and Chevy 350 5.7.
