Good set, seems pretty accurate for the money

Let me start by saying that I have no way of calibrating the accuracy of this instrument. I just have to take it at face value, that's exactly what they say. However, it seems accurate enough and it came with a small certificate. I think if you use it to work with guns or something like that would be great. For my purposes I would like it to be a bit lower in the torque range but I also needed some other applications that are a bit higher so I might have to own two of these in different ranges which isn't good for my wallet. ...I couldn't find anything that could cover the entire range in the one tool I needed to cover and it just seems like it is. Keep in mind that if you adjust this until it stops clicking or something like that you just have to rotate it, watch as you rotate it and you have to align it, but I don't have detents. If your accuracy can be within a few percent then this tool is for you, if your accuracy needs to be ultra precise you may need a digital meter or similar. For the money this is something I could justify and I think it will do what I need it to do. I really like that there's a T-handle for the higher end of the torque range, where you might not be able to reach just by holding the handle of a screwdriver. So that was nice... The T-handle fits about a quarter of an inch into a regular drive. So if you don't want to use a T-handle, you can always use a quarter-inch ratchet. Whatever works for you. It didn't have enough small bits and a square drive that you could use with sockets, so overall it's a very good little set for the price. Much cheaper than some German brands. I'd advise giving it a try if you're looking for something decent that you can afford.
