Capri Tools 1/4 in. Drive 50 in. to 245 in. lbs. Torque Wrench

Perfect for my needs.Most 1/4″ drive racheting torque wrenches only go up to 200 in/lbs.My application calls for a torque value of 216 in/lbs and has to be accessable to very tight spaces.

Solid construction, easy to use. Hard shell case included. Click is much softer than a 1/2″ drive torque wrench so be sure to get acclimated first.

I ordered it for the higher torque setting.worked out well

Good qualityGreat craftsmanship.This is no Regular “click” type of torque wrench.It works differently.I wish it was explained on the instructions.It kind of “bends” but can not hear a clear click.Other than that excellent product.

This is a very nice, compact torque wrench. It came in a nice, strong plastic case that should serve well to keep this tool in good shape for years to come. The wrench, even though it’s compact, feels very sturdy in your hand and the markings are all easily visible and easy to read. This torque wrench isn’t the nicest on the market but for a garage mechanic it’s done everything I’ve needed it to and has all the features I looked for at a very nice price point. I’d certainly recommend this to anyone building a mechanic’s tool set

Very good quality! Not cheap.

I installed a plenum spacer with it and torqued down the intake manifold superbly

Works as advertised. I was hesitant to put all that much torque on the handle, not having used a torque wrench in a long time, in case it was not calibrated correctly. I was changing oil on a HD motorcycle primary and it asks for 8 ft/lbs or 96 in/lbs. My advice is to go slowly and when the torque wrench head clicks or moves/breaks, stop immediately or the small bolts may strip out their threads. I used it with care and it worked very well for me on both the 17 ft/lbs oil plugs and the primary cover screws. I just bought a 10-150lbs Capri torque wrench as well now that I have used the in/lbs version. Just store them at zero tension and they will server you well. Torque wrenches are not really designed for one size fits all, but they work best at 70% of their medium torque ranges. I would buy this again.

Don’t listen for a click on this one. I played with it for a while before I figured the torque value was met when the handle pivots from the head. Again, once the handle breaks and pivots, stop turning! Works well.

This torque wrench is a 1/4 inch drive wrench that can be used to torque items between 20 and 245 inch pounds (or 2.3 to 27.7 Newton meters if you use that measurement). If you buy this wrench, make sure you understand it measures “inch pounds”, not “foot pounds”. If you’re looking for heavier duty uses, this is not the wrench for you. You can use this wrench with 1/4 inch drive sockets which are not included. The wrench comes in a well made plastic case which helps protect the wrench when not in use. The wrench has two scales listed on the handle; one for inch pounds and one for Newton meters. You adjust the setting by loosening the locking screw at the base of the handle and turning the handle to the desired setting. The wrench can be set in increments of 1 inch pound. You then tighten the locking screw. When I first used the wrench, I was not noticing the click to indicate the bolt was at the desired torque. I then realized that the “click” was happening but it was much more subtle than my current torque wrench. It’s important to realize the “click” is subtle so you don’t end up using too much torque. I don’t have any ability to test the accuracy of the torque so I’m assuming it is accurate to +/- 4% which the packaging indicates. Overall, this seems like a good torque wrench for lighter uses.
