Torque Wrench Question

Get rid of that thing. Go to Sears and pick up one there. Very accurate, takes a beating and if it don`t the`re under lifetime warranty. I`m one my second one. Tend to drop them sometimes.

The craftsman click type torque wrenches have a 1 year warranty. Digital ones only 90 days. Interestingly, a beam type wrench like the OP has comes with a lifetime warranty.

There are some You Tube tests/comparisons of Harbor Freight torque wrenches vs. the Snap On,Craftsman,others. HF did very well .
My complaint about many modern 'click-type' T-wrenches is the click is very quiet and gentle. Easy to miss & over-torque ! But if you put one hand around the pivot pin ,you can feel the click.
The new beep/vibrate electronic torque/angle wrenches are a great idea but....
Snap On digital torque wrenches - check on Garage Journal for some serious assessments before you spend $300. Significant defects/problems . So far ,I failed to find a reliable, inexpensive ,digital/electronic T/angle-wrench .YEMV.
