AKM Dual Direction Precision 20 160Ft Lb 20 210Nm Review

This is a normal torque wrench. It has a pretty big problem and I'm not sure if it's just me or everyone else having this problem, but the ft-lbs label is pretty misleading. Does not queue when blocked. I posted pictures to show this. The fit and finish is fine and to be expected for something in this price range. This torque wrench is mainly used to tighten wheel nuts, so defects can be overlooked. 3 stars is enough for this tool and if I bought it for the same purpose I would buy it again…

I bought this torque wrench for my husband because he needed to replace the engine head gasket and do other maintenance on the car. He used that wrench right after us. With the help of a torque wrench, we were able to replace the cylinder head gasket in a short time. The key is made of high quality, durable material that will last a long time. A detailed instruction manual is also included. Great article. I highly recommend it Pros: Long handle so less effort Easy to read the calibration on the

This clickless torque wrench never clicked and cost me hundreds of dollars in repairs because the bolt broke and I say it weighed 30 pounds and never clicked I will just kept going without thinking I pressed 30 and snapped the latch.

There was no calibration or instruction manual, although I'm not sure I would trust a calibration made in China. I bought it because the Q&A said it was from Taiwan. In my working life in the semiconductor industry…

For a DIY type, this torque wrench is more than enough. No cheap plastic parts. The included hard case protects the wrench well. Includes: 3/8" socket to 1/2" drive adapters, 17mm, 19mm, 21mm, 24mm and 4" drive extension 1/2" long. . All sockets are 1/2" drive. Reversible drive direction.

I ordered this torque wrench specifically to tighten the new Ford Escape mounting nuts. Factory nuts were split and "swollen" after so many surgeries performed by an impact wrench. As a result, your default key will not fit on it. So you can get stuck on the side of the road and not be able to remove the wheel! However, this torque wrench feels solid and gave me really audible clicks when the desired torque was reached. The scales are difficult to read, you need good lighting to read them. But…
