But well done. in Torque Wrench

(Reviewed by my husband) This torque wrench has been well made and is a high quality product. But the problem for me was that I had to adjust a couple of small screws (about 1/8" diameter, slotted head) and I found I needed a special one (4mm hex) to fit the screwdriver. So I went back online and bought a set of Wiha adapters (also well made) that they sell ($30), but I still had the problem. The only 4mm hex that fit in the screwdriver had a 1/4" external hex. end so your 1/4" female adapter…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No Power

great addition to the tool box

What I like best about this tool is that the click is very distinct when the desired torque is reached. The various adapters add to the usefulness of this tool, especially when compared to the torque tools I've had that only work with heads. I had to go back a bit to use another tool (included) to set the torque on this driver, but it's not hard to do. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want to do odd inch-pounds you must estimate since only even measurements are shown. So far I've…

Wiha quality on wrenches

I bought this dynamometer primarily to mount a scope on my rifle. I know a lot of people don't go as far as squeezing a cheap tube scope in. In the past, I didn't want to risk doing the same thing with a $1,000+ scope. This tool was just a gimmick, there are cheaper alternatives on the market but I have several other Wiha branded tools and they have always been superbly made and as durable as can be. This torque driver seems no different. Setting the desired torque is very easy, the reading…

Pros
  • Power and hand tools
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Great EXCEPT. for Power Tools and Hand Tools

This tool costs over $100. This is very expensive for a small torque wrench. Despite this, it is very well made and I expect many years of use. The instructions are terrible. International destinations without words. It really means understanding it yourself. My biggest gripe with the wrench is that it comes with a 1/8" adapter, which is insulting. I think we can all agree that 1/4" bits are standard and rotating everything is also a nice trick to ensure you don't have to shell out another…
