Review on Highly Precise 1/2-Inch Drive Torque πŸ”§ Wrench - 20-150 FT./LBS. for Perfect Tightening by Tony Hanson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Same as Tekton 24335 but better

It's a bit early for me to review this dongle as I've only been using it for a few months and haven't gotten to the point where the similar Sears Craftsman would start , to fall apart . . I bought this Sunex torque wrench along with the Tekton 24335 as they seemed like the best options for the price. At the time of purchase, Sunex was only a few dollars more. I was surprised when they entered because it was basically the same wrench. They come in identical red cases and are physically the same. The differences are as follows. Sunex has a chromed part of the rotating handle, while Tekton has a black finish. The Sunex torque numbers are stamped/engraved into the metal while the Tekton numbers are inked. Sunex came with a blade that had torque readings at three torque settings. They appear to have been hand written and to be honest this means that the wrench was factory torque tested to within tolerance. Both wrenches have a gap for the handle to slide and attach to the head of the wrench. Tekton has an O-ring that resides in the interface while Sunex does not. I'm not sure which is better. Tekton can hold more dirt but can retain moisture. Or the whole thing could be contentious. In general, Sunex is an updated version of Tekton. However, when prices vary wildly, it's hard to argue that the differences are worth it. So far the numbers written in ink seem to be stopping the tekton and that's where I see the main difference in performance. I use these wrenches in sand, mud, and rain, so I'll update them when they spawn a ghost.
