Review on Wiha Adjustable TorqueVario Handle Reading by Brad Ward

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Couldn't be better: Swim

This is the lowest torque band in this line, replacing the one-hundred-dollar "Cheap" option that used the multi-thousand dollars -Models replaced. Watchmakers and high-tech assemblers. It took Google a while to convert the units to figure out that this model was actually within reach with some very good jeweler models. And it works really well, with a digital readout that allows me to fine-tune the pressure between the two plates I use to create sliding friction on a round serpentine jewelry chain, while doing it by hand is time-consuming do. The Phillips 000 tip, which I had to order separately, is very high quality for my tiny M1.7 metric screws from China. Even a small change in torque setting is noticeable as a result, so the wide overall range might not step up as well as expensive units, but it really isn't hard to use tiny changes in setting until you get it right.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
