GEARWRENCH 3/8 Drive Electronic Torque Wrench 7.4-99.6 FT LB - 85076

For a home garage tool this is top notch. Worked as expected, signaled when I hit the preset. I just wish woman were this easy to read.

This is my first decent torque wrench. Up until now I've only used the bottom of the barrel click type torque wrenches from harbor freight. This 3/8 drive torque wrench from gearwrench is really nice. The accuracy is as advertised, I clamped the wrench in my vise, hung a weight from the handle, and set the torque to: (my weight) / 12 * (length from drive to handle where the weight was attached). It takes 3 AAA batteries that are put into the bottom of the handle. I like how the battery compartment easily screws off, making it fast/easy to remove the batteries for storage. Things that I don't like: 1. The amazon listing says 7.4-99.6 FT LB, but the actual product is 10-100 FT LB 2. Adjusting the torque setting is pretty annoying how it cycles through the numbers. It increments very slowly initially and then starts incrementing so fast that you easily blow past where you were shooting for. It's pretty weird its frustrating how slowly it increments and then it kinda takes off like a rocket.

GearWrench's 3/8" Flex Head Electronic Torque Wrench with Angle, 10-100 ft/lbs is one great tool that will make your widen the continuum of jobs a DIY mechanic can do. The design, finish and execution of this product speaks volumes of a premium product that it is. This is a very close competitor to the products industry professionals use after paying thousands of dollars yet GearWrench only costs a small fraction while retaining similar quality, execution, fit and finish. The user-interface torque wrench is intuitive enough that I started using it the moment I unboxed it without even having to read through the manual it comes with. It needs two AA size batteries which is awesome because AA size batteries can be found everywhere. The product does not come with AA size batteries though. Overall I am happy with this product which is inline with most GearWrench tools.

Used for a short block job at work, torqued the head and timing chain components fine. Pros Cost No flex head easier to torque No comeback Cons It came red(not yellow in pic If ur picky like that) Adjusting can be annoying (press goes up 0.1 nm, if you hold then it shoots through torque settings quick The beep is friggin loud and unnecessary when setting initial torque spec I just cover the speaker with my thumb when setting. As for being 130$ vs 450$ from a big brand (on sale that is), vs how much I really use this thing makes it still worth the money even with the annoying quirks.

Literal garbage. Sent it back. Thing was freaking out and buzzing and would not stop. Completely useless. There was no way to make it stop, or zero it out. It would automatically register 30ftlb without even touching it. Quality isn’t the best, Chinese as usual but very expensive and overpriced for the quality. Functionality: it worked great for five minutes and then it decided it was time to freak out and never stop. Even turning it off and on didn’t help. Not only annoying but embarrassing, the alarm is loud as hell and you can’t turn the volume down. I am extremely careful with my tools and have worked with hundreds of different tools, this one was probably THE WORST tool I’ve ever used. Seems like there’s no quality control. The buzzer is really annoying and unnecessary. Just a simple beep is more than enough to tell you it’s tight. We are over complicating something that doesn’t need to be. Not made by mechanics, made by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

I bought this product specifically because it was able to be adjust at lower torque specifications. I would say the instructions it comes with aren’t the best, but it’s fairly intuitive. When you input a torque specification, it stays in the memory and loads to that last setting. This is important because the unit auto shuts off after a a minute or two of inactivity. It has lights, sounds, and vibration feedback as you approach your specified setting, so it’s pretty simple to use. I was a big fan of these features. Plus, the digital display shows in realtime what the current torque rating is at as your torquing the wrench. Highly recommend!

After purchasing and utilizing this Torque wrench to do some work on my vehicle in some hard to reach areas, I was pleasantly surprised. This torque wrench made the job easy and the vibrating alert function when you hit your targeted setting is helpful, especially when you are reaching areas you cannot see. My only gripe is that there is no one hand quick release function to remove the socket. You physically need to remove it with two hands and this was very unhelpful when removing spark plugs in hard to reach areas and might need to switch back to a ratchet wrench for some reason or another. While this does not take away from the tool, it is just a hopeful feature they add in future models.

Works great. Times out quickly, which can be annoying. Otherwise very good for the price.

Easy to set the torque limit and the beep does indicate when I reaches the limit. Very easy to use.

As a DIY guy this is just a perfect tool to have and everything i need on most work on my personal truck.

works great love it

Very nice tool. Thank you.

The minimum measurable torque on the wrench is 10 ft-lbs. The description states 7.8 ft-lbs, which is incorrect.
