ANPUDS 3/8-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench, 5-45 Ft-Lb/6.8-61 Nm, Dual-Direction, Lightweight Aluminum, 72-Tooth, Dual Range Scales Adjustable Torque Wrench for Bike, Motorcycle, Car Spark

I purchased this wrench for a project to replace a breaker panel. The 1/4 inch/lb. wrench came quickly and had nice a blow mold case to hold other bits and adapters (not included). Upon examining the "new" wrench, I found scratches on the head and shaft of the the wrench, some surface rust on the 1/4" square drive and steel metal flecks inside the case. This wrench had probably been purchased, used and returned by a previous buyer. I was concerned about how it was used/abused. I compared it with a recently calibrated Wheeler inch/pound wrench. I was happy to find that it accurately tracked each of the torque settings on the calibrated wrench. Aside from the superficial damage from the previous owner, I decided to keep it for my upcoming project. It is easy to read the settings, adjust and use, looks nice and is light weight. I didn't have a problem with hearing the click as others complained about because I don't work in high noise locations. I could easily feel the click on each of the tested settings. Time will tell how long it will last. It was a great price for what seems like a great tool.

I've only had this for a few days, so I can't comment on durability. However, I have used it to torque ~100 screws / bolts so far and my initial impressions are excellent. I bought this for the couple times a year I need something smaller than a 3/8" torque wrench, but mostly to work on bicycles. A 1/4" torque wrench is not something I commonly use so I didn't want to drop a ton of money on the purchase. I have used 1/4" torque wrenches from harbor freight & foundation recently but I wanted something with a slimmer overall profile (especially for bikes) and took a chance on this. I had low expectations but have been extremely happy with pretty much everything about this wrench. PROS: - Ergonomics: IMO, overall size is perfect for the amount of torque the wrench can take (~9.5" long). The handle is a nice size and feels great in the hand. All adjustments work well and are very intuitive to use. - Torque adjustment: The collar adjustment for torque setting is one of my favorite things about the tool. I haven't seen this design often, but I wish all my torque wrenches had this. To adjust torque, pull down on the collar and twist the handle. Every 2 in lb, after releasing the collar, it will lock into place (spring-loaded to pop "up"). This is easier to use than the traditional tensioner at the end of the handle and, more importantly, once it is locked at the right setting, you don't have to keep rechecking the end of the handle to ensure the tensioner hasn't come loose. - Engagement: 72 tooth ratchet has a very smooth, positive feel. Switching the lever from tighten-loosen is easy and has a smooth action. Also, the button lock to hold sockets on is, surprisingly, one of the nicest I've ever used. - Accuracy: I have compared this against a 1/4" and a 3/8" torque wrench (which I know to be accurate) and it is spot on all the way from 20 - 240 in lb. - Case: Carry case is much nicer than expected. First of all, it looks cool. More importantly, it's much beefier than I was expecting and seems very sturdy. The case is ~2 inches longer than the torque wrench but this doesn't bother me. I can actually fit other, longer torque wrenches in it. - Warranty (?): Long-term durability is a big unknown. However, the manual states it has a 2 year warranty. I have no idea how the company would respond to a warranty claim but it gives me a little peace of mind. CONS: - The only thing I feel this is missing is a N m readout. The in lb reading is located in the correct orientation and is easy to see. However, I wish they had put a N m readout on the opposite side. Not a big deal, but I would have appreciated that. Overall, I'm extremely pleased. I will update this after I've had it for awhile or if anything changes. As of now, for <$25, I highly recommend considering this tool.

Tool is well built and looks professional, the molded case is very nice and holds the tool secure. Adjustment is smooth and precise with easy to read graduations. Ratcheting is very light with minimal movement so it was nice for the tight space I was working in. For the money, I absolutely feel this and the 3pc set I got are worth it.

Workers stole my old beam type Craftsman torque wrench from the garage and I needed a quick low cost replacement. This arrived and seems to work OK. I can't vouch for the accuracy. I tried comparing it with a 1/4" drive Park Tool torque wrench at the low end of the torque scale by marking a bolt with a sharpie pen, and then tightening it - first with the Park, then with this wrench. They seemed to tighten to about the same point fairly well, but this only tested the low end of the wrench. Whether or not it is linear over the entire scale couldn't be tested with the tools I have. It doesn't look as heavy duty as a Craftsman beam type wrench, but very little does these days. For my occasional needs it is probably OK. Anything that works out of the box these days is worth at least a couple of stars, with 2 more stars for being at least remotely accurate at the lower torque setting I needed.

Torque wrench worked well for thermostat replacement on Jeep.

My favorite smaller torque wrench. It works great. Very compact and such a nice quality. Feels solid in the hands and easy to use with clear numbers. Great for smaller bolts. Works great in torque spark plugs and oil change bolts.

Worked well it was slightly confusing how to do the foot pounds for sure on the lines, but fist time ever using a torque wrench as well good price.

Great value and quality.

The instructions for use are a bit confusing so I figured out how to do it and wrote my own. However The device is really good. Allows 9 storing programmed settings (ie 120 ft/lbs, 100 ft/lbs, 60 ft/lbs etc ) for easy recall . If you need torques in "in/ft" that is easily changed to that mode. It also indicates peak torque or actual instantaneous torque with audio and led light indications as the programmed torque is getting close. The accuracy is pretty good to manual adjustable torque device. Recommend this device.

Rezension nach über einem halben Jahr Benutzung! Preis Leistung / Fazit: Der Drehmomentschlüssel kommt in einem hochwertigen Case, ist sehr gut verarbeitet, super bedienbar und hervorragend genau. Volle 5 Sterne Ausführliche Rezension: Ausstattung: Der Drehmomentschlüssel von Anpuds kommt in einem gut verarbeitetem Case, welches schon mehrere Transporte gut überstanden hat. Die Scharniere sind echte Scharniere (aus Kunststoff) und keine dünnen Plastiklappen die mit der Zeit kaputt gehen. Bedienbarkeit: Die Drehmomenteinstellung erfolgt über einen gut greifbaren gefederten Ring, bei Erreichen des gewünschten Wertes verbleibt der Versteller durch die Feder eingerastet in seiner Position. Versehentliches Verstellen bei der Bedienung (wie bei den Modellen mit Konterschraube) ist dadurch ausgeschlossen. Die Ablesbarkeit ist sehr gut, auch nach mehrfacher Benutzung ist die Skala vollkommen intakt. Qualität: Die Genauigkeit ist absolut überragend. Ich habe die eingestellte Werte mit 2! digitalen Drehmomentadaptern gegengeprüft, die Ergebnisse waren bis ca. 20 Nm vergleichbar mit dem Wera A5. Zwischen 20 und 25 Nm war der Anpuds sogar genauer! Wie auf den Bildern zu erkennen: Einmal mit 12,5 Nm und einmal mit 25 Nm, mit jeweils maximal 0,1 Nm Abweichung. Testhintergrund: Ich fahre Hobbymäßig Rennstrecke und habe dadurch hohe Ansprüche an mein Werkzeug. Dieser Drehmomentschlüssel kam bereits mehrfach zum Einsatz, unter anderem beim Wechsel des Lichtmaschinendeckels. Bei solchen Teilen ist die Genauigkeit sehr wichtig, da die Gewinde usw. empfindlich sind und bei einem Überdrehen extrem hoher Schaden entstehen kann.

Muy buena herramienta
