1/2 Inch Torque Wrench Angle Gauge Tool,360° Adjustable 1/2" Drive Torque meter Wrench Set,Professional Measure Tool,Gift

1st off - on Amazon web page for this product, it states, that the base of this tool is ""METAL"" it is NOT, it's ""PLASTIC"". Stuff like this just T's me off. This was the primary reason I purchase this gauge, over all of the other available ones. In Today's world, a Torque Angle Gauge is a necessary tool in one's tool cabinet. Especially, in engine overhaul or any place where torque is critical from the manufacture. The problem with the standard torque wrench is getting the 'exact' torque required. This is due to the improper use of the tool itself. A lot of people will just yank hard and fast on the torque wrench or worst yet, repeat it several times. Doing so, will go beyond the actual torque setting. Small diameters bolts can be well stretch beyond their parameters, causing minute fractures and premature failures. In the old days of 'Beam Torque Wrench', the procedure is slow and steady to the desired setting on the scale. And sometimes, it was common the add a couple of more ft-lbs. The click style Torque Wrench made it easier to hear the setting vs visual. With the 'clickers' as us old farts called them, the procedure is still the same, 'slow n steady' until it clicks. Yanking hard and fast like a Rambo will cause an erroneous setting, 'meaning going past that click'. Torque Angle has a more precise accuracy on ft-lbs applied, even though it's not measure in ft-lbs, but in ""degrees"" of rotation. Kinda like an Oil Filter, where an addition 2/3 to 3/4 of a turn when the rubber seal touches the metal. For us old guys with experience, we really don't need this type of tool, especially when it's 1/2, 2/3 or 3/4 turn. We just visualized our reference point and turn the wrench, plain and simple. However, the manufacture wants 80, 120 or 135 degrees of torque angle, that's damn tough to visualized. For me, in a pinch, I've a cheap circular drafting tool that has a degree scale on it, where I can mark out my require rotation. However, having a tool like this makes my job easier, faster and precise. Also easy to read. The dial indicator is approx 2-1/2" in diameter with black bold lettering for poor old eyes like me. A couple of important notes: 1...Torque the bolt 1st in ft-lbs 2...Then turn the degrees of rotation required - MAKE SURE the tool restrain arm ""DOES NOT"" on you a...It is not recommend to stop and restart this procedure in mid-stream b...Some will say, start completely over again - loosen - re-torque - then degree rotation I DO NOT do 2a or 2b Usually, Degree of Rotation involves a ""Stretch Bolt"" - THEY CAN NOT BE REUSED - unless approve by manufacture. Hope this helps

Good

Product is very useful for the price

Not the highest quality tool I've ever bought but was sufficient to do degrees of rotation on Honda crv head bolts.

Fast shipping, good quality

I read the reviews slamming this thing before purchasing it, but because it was cheaply priced and I only needed it to tighten down 10 cylinder head bolts I brought it anyways. Gage would not move from zero despite me watching the bolt move while tightening it down, and yes I had the bar clamped against a stationary point. Went to local auto parts store and purchased a torque angle gage that has the vice-like clamp and it worked perfectly. RETURNING THIS THING IMMEDIATELY.

This adapter didn’t work out of the box. The o-ring didn’t have enough friction so the whole thing spun around. I had to add a rubber band to the o-ring to keep it from spinning so it doesn’t give me a false reading. It’s also a bit tricky to get the torque reading to start at zero once initial tension is applied.

GREAT product

he 360-degree scale is very clear, and the tool feels high quality. It fits my 1/2" drive securely and gets the job done right. Highly recommend it!

Broke after first use

L'outil fait ce qu'il est concu pour. Ok pour le mécanicien occasionnel. Bon prix, livraison rapide
