EPAuto 1/4-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench: Precise Torque Control for 20-200 in.-lb. / 2.26 ~ 22.6 Nm Review

Admittedly, this was my first torque wrench purchase, but this EPAuto wrench seems to be intuitive and quality. I’m not sure how it would hold up being used at an auto shop; however, it will surely work for the weekend warrior like myself. I like that there is a screw to tighten the adjustment knob when you’ve selected the required torque and that the wrench makes an unmistakable clicking sound when tightened appropriately. I’d buy this wrench again, although I doubt I will have to.

I’ve always been a big believer that you need the right tool for the right job. This wrench certainly fits that bill. Very easy to use and comes with a storage case. Perfect! Thanks for the quick delivery too! Awesome!

I bought this to torque my throttle body bolts (4x) on my 2011 prerunner after a cleaning. I wanted to do a thorough cleaning and therefore needed to remove the throttle body to clean both sides. For the 2nd gen, had to torque to 9ft-lbs (108 in-lbs)which my other torque wrench only started at 20ft lbs. Needed this in-lb wrench and used some math to hit the torque needed to spec the throttle body bolts. Easy peasy. I would recommend this torque wrench to others that like to work on their…

The headline says it all. If you're fixing a bike, and it requires a certain number of newton meters of torque, you'll feel much better if you actually use a torque wrench. Ideally, you'd also have a set of Allen (hex) wrenches that fit a 1/4" drive wrench. Sure, you can do it by feel, but you'll always be under- or over-tightening the fastener, no matter how sensitive your touch. Get this wrench and be certain.

Tool is good and helped me already with my 3 cars brakes maintenance.4 stars because dial marking paint is not resistant enough to use and oils wou may have in hands or glaves. . guess you should not wipe it or touch--but hard to do when you do your job. I wish they use more resistant paint or hard marking on dial like it's on scale panel.

This was my first torque wrench and I wanted one for my brake, rotor and getting the lug nuts just right for safety. I chose the 3/8 because of all my sockets. I didn't think these things were delicate nor did I not know you weren't supposed to use them in reverse. I saw it had a reverse function and thought cool, but I didn't need torque specs in reverse so I figured you just used it normally to break a bolt loose then switch it to tight mode and it would click.I first used it on my oil pan…

This is a well made torque wrench, but I bought it for my mountain bike, and it was definitely not made with the cyclist mechanic in mind. The scale is imperial, so even though the Nm values are listed, they are at weird graduations - there are marks at 4.7 and 5.6 Nm, for example. Prepare to do a lot of linear interpolation if you want exactly 5, 8 or 10 Nm. Also, this is only a one-direction torque wrench. It ratchets in both directions, but only the clockwise direction "clicks” so it won’t…

Would neither buy it again nor recommend, but since it comes in a case and 3 adapters, all of which I need, I will keep this. This torque wrench uses a spinny crank lock at the bottom of the hilt and the torque wrench feels stiff/rough to change torque spec. This makes it a bit more difficult to change the torque specification along with longer to adjust it, however, it is still a decent tool.

This EPAuto 1/2-inch Drive Click Torque Wrench is one big heavy-duty tool. I used it to apply 205 ft.-lb. of torque and it worked just fine. It is heavy and must be used with two hands, given that it is made from Hardened treated Chrome Vanadium steel alloy (Cr-V), and it's about 25" long by 2" wide (See Pictures). In addition, the case is sturdy, given that I dropped it from a height of 4 to 5 ft. a couple of times (heavy tool in case carried by one oily hand), and the case neither cracked nor

Quality is ok except I could not dial in the highest torque setting, too tight. The numbers are hard to read as they are just groves in shiny metal.

I bought this torque wrench to install a mini split in my house. The first time I installed a unit I figured I would wing the torque of the lines because I did not have a torque wrench and I ended up losing refrigerant and having to call an HVAC guy. I guess saving money cost me a lot! When I was going to install my 2nd unit I went looking for a torque wrench at my local big box store but all the ones they had started at around 30 lbs/ft, but my 1/4 line needed about 10 lbs/ft. I found this…

I bought this to do some low-torque automotive work. Just changed my spark plugs and retorqued to spec. The one I got has +/- 4% tolerance as advertised.Form factor is great. Comfortable and sturdy. The click is easy to feel/hear, the mechanism is easy to set, the case it comes in is mostly sturdy (though I'm not sure how long the latches will last), and the extra adapters are a great bonus. I panicked for a moment in the middle of disassembling my car when I realized I forgot to pick up a…

I have bought this brand in 1/4 & 3/8" for use on automotive repairs at home and was very impressed with their quality, especially for the money. A good friend of mine, who is a retired auto mechanic of thirty plus years, also commented on their quality look and feel.I bought the 1/2" to round out my kit and it is just as nice as the others. Obviously, I cannot comment on the long-term durability since I won't be using it every day, but it is perfect for my use.

A man's garage needs THREE things to be a REAL garage. an Air Compressor, Beer cooler and one of these.Works great, safer than 'guessing it' (which I done successfully for over 40 years. thank you very much), but getting into more delicate work. so. yeah. it was time.

A little heavy but the torque setting is clearly noticeable. No risk of over-torqueing even at a low setting of 20 in.-lbs.

This torque wrench seems well made. A good torque wrench is a necessary tool these days. Seem like every bolt in the newer cars have to be torqued. You can't do an oil change or even put on a tire with out having to torque down the bolts/nuts.

If you understand how torque tools work, this will be easy to use. As a matter of fact, this was my first time using a torque tool. I use it every now and then to keep my tire lugs at the correct specs instead of guessing. I like it and keep it in my trunk for use if I need it.

I ordered this wrench because I needed a torque wrench that measured in in/lbs for a project working on my car. I replaced the part and the wrench arrived exactly when I needed it. It was easy to use and did the job. I can't speak to its accuracy because I don't have an easy way to check it. But it's close enough.

I bought this wrench to torque some of the very small bolts during a timing chain job on my fiances all-aluminum Hyundai engine. I was immediately impressed with the solid feel and quality finish of this tool upon opening the hard plastic case it comes in. It's perfectly smooth and polished like a high end wrench, and feels weighty and sturdy in the hand, something I wouldn't have expected from an economy brand tool for this price. It also comes with its own extension (6 inch or so), and an…

If you want to do more than guess, you need a tool like this to try to achieve factory specifications. I am a driveway mechanic and have no way of measuring the accuracy of this wrench, however it is alot better than nothing.
