Happy So Far - Power & Hand Tools

I've been using this wrench for a few days and am happy with it so far. I bought it primarily for inline skates and bikes and have tried it on skates, frames and wheel bolts. I haven't tested it for accuracy other than trying it on some pre-tightened and loose bolts. The wrench inspires some confidence in how it looks, feels, and works. Also the documentation is ok. This wrench isn't the easiest torque wrench to set, but it's simple enough. This involves turning the knurled knob while holding the spring-loaded locking ring and holding the top silver bar. The double scale in lbs and Nm is practical and the torque can be set to any value in the key range. Attaching and detaching the bits to this wrench is easy by pressing the button for both operations. So far I've only tested this button on a subset of its lower ranges, 1.8-5.5Nm. In this range it was very easy to see, hear and feel when the desired torque was reached. It clicks and the wrench head moves slightly while the roller bearing and roller pin roll over each other as the manual says. My only complaint with this key so far is that mine has had a few minor scratches on the black paint. at the top of the micrometer scale, although the box was well sealed and didn't look like a return. You don't want to see something like that with a new product and the first takeover of the company.
