ACCURATE; SOLID; EASY-TO-USE “” A torque wrench is an essential tool for someone who does mechanical work. The GearWrench 3/8 in. Drive 7.4 ft./lbs. to 99.6 ft./lbs. Electronic Torque Wrench is an excellent choice for meeting this need. The torque wrench has a solid feel. It fit my hand well. It is easy to set the torque and the torque alert allowance. The torque cannot be set exactly but very close, e.g., 19.99 instead of 20. It has five units of measurement. The selected one appears on the display but with rather small characters. It would have been helpful if it were somewhat larger making it easier to read. The feature that I found most useful when tightening an oil drain plug was that the tool beeps when you are getting close to the set torque. It buzzes, a red led flashes, and it has a slight vibration in the handle when the set torque is reached. This feature was useful because from the positioning of the wrench, I could not see the display. I also liked the feature that the final torque applied appears for 15 seconds in the LED display. That way I knew the exact torque that was applied. The ratcheting mechanism is as smooth as any that I have used. The wrench comes with a certificate of calibration but the calibration is warranted for only 90 days. Changing the batteries is easy. The instructions are clear. It comes with a well-designed case but based upon past experience the lower quality latches are not likely to last. It is made in Taiwan. It has a one year warranty.

Easy peasy torque wrench. I love not having to worry about un-tensioning the wrench after every use. Easy to set desired setting. The display gives you a reading as you apply force. There is an alarm when you get close. The handle vibrates when you are done. Pretty hard to mess up. The percentage is how far ahead you want the alarm to go off before hitting the limit.I received this GEARWRENCH 3/8 IN. DRIVE 7.4 FT./LBS. TO 99.6 FT./LBS.

The Gear Wrench 3/8 inch torque wrench comes in a nice case with padding, Inside the case are printed conversions between the 5 different units. The torque wrench has a big handle with a rubber grip. The rubber isn’t the most durable and can easily scuff so depending on how hard you are on your tools it might look rough. The body is hard plastic which feels solid but for the price it would have been nice to see a metal body. There is an anti roll bar which keeps it from rolling off a table or other surface. Adjusting the settings is a breeze with simple controls. You can adjust the target torque alert which will pulse a red led as you get closer to the set torque. This range can be adjusted pretty easily. When you reach the set torque it will make a reasonably loud noise vibrate and light up which is nice if your working in a busy shop and can’t hear it or can’t feel it. You can also adjust the unit of measurement between newton meters,foot-pounds,kilogram-force meter, kilogram-force centimeter. Adjusting the torch spec is a little annoying as the beeper goes off every time the torque spec is raised. When adjusting the set torque you can get really precise you can adjust the set torque by as little as .07 ft pounds. A backlit display would be helpful for not so bright work areasAt the end of the day the torque wrench gets the job done well and quickly. If you can justify the price over a clicker wrench I would highly recommend you add it to the collection.

Great product!

I wanted a torque wrench poor working in my garage. I like the fact that this gearwrench is an electronic torque wrench. This allows me to more accurately track my measurements digitally and I really like that it gives me alerts so that I do not over torque 8 Ball. It is nice size and weight with a nice long handle with a comfortable grip. It seems very well-constructed and I feel it will last me for a very long time. My only minor complaint is that it did not come with batteries at this price point but I am very pleased with this tool.

This is an electronic GearWrench torque wrench. l like that the target torque can be set so that when I get close to the target torque, the handle beeps and then vibrates when I pass the target torque. This setup is very useful because on my old beam type torque wrench I can only see the torque one one side. But with this electronic style torque wrench, I don’t need to see the numeric display. I can just hear and feel the target torque setting. I also like that is uses AA batteries.Just a note of caution: I accidentally put my hand to far out on the end and popped the battery cover off a thread or two. Luckily, I was able to unscrew the battery cover and screw it back on properly. No damage was done, but you will want to keep your hand on the GearWrench logo and not on the black battery cover.

This is not my first torque wrench, but it is my first electronic torque wrench. I use torque wrenches to put on the lawn mower blade after sharpening or when working on the snowblower. This tool is simple to use. The torque and torque alert % are easy to set and the multiple alerts let me know when I’m approaching the set target. Once I get close to the target the red LED starts blinking, the handle intermittently vibrates and starts beeping. Once the target is reached, the red LED becomes solid, and the handle has a steady vibration and beep. The first time I used this I was thinking, wow! I’m surprised it doesn’t shoot off fireworks too. The handle is comfortable and the tool includes case (with a handy conversion table molded into the cover), certificate of calibration, and instructions. 2AA batteries required are not included. This wrench can be set to 0.1 ft-lb increments from 7.4-99.6 ft-lb, although best accuracy is between 20%-100% (20 ft-lb to 100 ft-lb). It’s calibrated to be accurate to +/- 2% clockwise and +/-3% counter clockwise from 20%-100%. The wrench can also be set to Nm, in-lb, kgf-m, and kgf-cm.I want to mention this model does not have the angle feature like some of the GearWrench models, so there’s no torque to yield setting to set the angle measurement. This doesn’t impact me since I’m not working on cylinder heads or engine blocks, but it may be important to some. Another nice GearWrench product!
