Amazon Basics 3/8-inch Drive Click Torque Wrench Ratchet, 15-80 ft.-lb, 20.4-108.5 Nm

I've been very impressed with this torque wrench. It feels solid, well-made, and the click is easy to feel and hear when the desired torque is reached. The adjustment mechanism is smooth, and the markings are easy to read, making it simple to set the exact torque I need. It's perfect for automotive work and other projects where accuracy matters. For the price, it's hard to beat the quality and reliability of this Amazon Basics torque wrench. It performs just as well as more expensive options, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Works great!

This appears to be a solid torque wrench, with a nice case to store it in between my very rare uses, and the price was excellent for what I got. I've gone 60 years without really needing a torque wrench, but decided to install a trailer hitch on my own to save $200 and figured securing the bolts to specs was pretty important and for about $25 I could have some peace of mind. To adjust to the desired torque, you loosen up the bottom bolt and then turn the lower part of the handle. There are etched marks along the handle to show where it's set in intervals of 5/10 ft lbs, and marks around the lower handle for finer settings. It also shows newton meters if that's your thing. The size and weight are equivalent to a large ratchet wrench and it feels well made. I needed to hit about 50 ft lbs which was my limit for vertical bolts while laying on my back, but you can set is up to 80. When you're torqued to the proper setting, the clutch mechanism will slip a little and you'll hear a click. Very easy to use and as long as you set the number right and torque until it clicks you can't go wrong. I got the 3/8" model since that's what most of my sockets fit. Some of my extensions seems loose on the wrench so it was a little awkward to use, but it's no worse of a fit than my regular wrenches and only stands out because I'm putting so much force on it. The storage case seems excessive, but I don't expect to be using this very often, so hopefully it'll keep things from rusting. This saved me a bunch of money and was very satisfying to finally hear the "click" and know I'm done.

Surprisingly good tool, good value, and seems to be accurate, adjustability could be better, definitely not a Snap-On wrench, but still decent and worth a buy.

Doesn’t work, broke a bolt off on my truck and now I have to spend more money on a different product to extract it. Do not buy this, it is garbage.

Very happy with the purchase.

I bought the 3/8"-drive Amazon Basics torque wrench. I could have spent a lot more, but no reason to think more $ = more quality. I also read the 1-star reviews for every brand I considered. I concluded that every brand sends out X% junk torque wrenches. So I bought this one and paid Amazon for an Amazon 3-year warranty. Amazon will be around in 3 years, right. The wrench arrived in 24 hours, shiny, hew, apparently perfect. I put it right to work. I'd bought a new Ego LM2156SP battery-powered lawnmower to replace my old Honda-powered Craftsman gasser. Guess what, the Craftsman was metal; the Ego is plastic. On the Craftsman, I just tighten the bolt until it's snug, then once more till I grunt. Do that on the Ego and I will strip something. Don't switch blades without a torque wrench? Like working on a carbon-fiber bicycle. The torque wrench worked perfectly as advertised. What more can I say? I little hard for my old eyes to dial in the numbers, but once I did, it clicked like it should. Plenty of length on the bar to get 60 NM without staining myself. Of course I have no way of knowing if it was accurate. Now, the extra "warranty" I paid Amazon for. It's from Asurion. I gave up trying to read all the 1-star Asurion reviews on Amazon! I hope this torque wrench marches on, because I have little confidence in my extra warranty! Wish I had been more careful. I should have noticed a third party was involved in the warranty before I bought it!

Great tool to have for changing the oil. This tool with keep you from striping the threads on the oil pan of the car. Grinch

Works well.

Does exactly what it's supposed to

Works as it should, for a lesser price point than competitors. May not hold up under daily use, but for the DIY home mechanic this is a great tool.
