BULLTOOLS 1/4-inch Torque Wrench

Great torque wrench works perfectly

I had to use this on lug nuts for an RV, to 500ft/lbs of torque, and didn't want to use a torque multiplier. This is a well made tool, heavy and solid, with a nice finish. I like the case it came with so I don't have to worry about it getting banged up. I carry this in the RV to check the torque. Since I took all the wheels off to upgrade the suspension, I have to re-check the torque after driving it. The case makes it easy to transport. That and the head has 2 allen head screws so it can be removed to shorten the tool to fit in the case. The adjustment does take some wrist strength, especially if you are changing it by a large amount. It takes a while to get from 150 to 500 as I had to. I also use this on the sway bar bolts(150ft/lbs) abd the leaf spring u-bolts(250ft/lbs). So having a wide range helped a lot. I didn't have another wrench capable of comparing the torque so I can't vouch for accuracy. When I hit the set torque the click was nice and solid, easy to tell. 500lbs is a lot of torque, I ended up standing on the end to get the torque I needed and this thing didn't flex at all. Great tool.

Good tool set

The cons for me is this thing is only 22.5" long. I'd preferred 32" to be able to press to 250ftlb. I'm telling you you're not going to be able to hit to max torque unless you hit the gym twice a day. Secondly, the gray on blue marker (1 increment) is incorrect choice. They should've used pure white. It's really hard to get proper contrast but no where as bad as HF Pittsburg Pro version And now for the pros. The black on gray marker (15 increment) is excellent, you can easily see it. It stood out like sore thumb. Then 1 ft-lb increment turns and easily snapped and locked into place and it's secured. Not like HF version which requires manually turning bottom screws. Felt solid in hand, tested on lug nuts it easily achieves 80 ft-lb. I read a lot of bad reviews it seems like users are not knowing how to use torque wrench. If you are an absolute beginner, please watch multiple YT videos. I'd strongly recommend you stick to one unit. Me it's FT-LB all the time. And start out with a BIG bolt like your lug nut so even if you over torque you ain't going to break it. Whereas you newbie starting out on small bolt you can easily over torqued then you blame the product. It's not cool. You're supposed to STOP when you hear a click. This is a mechanical clicker NOT electronic. Electronic version requires different feeling, extremely different and you can actually over torque due to lack of feedback feeling, it just beeps. Mechanical requires you to STOP when you hear the first click, there is no early warning you must STOP. GO SLOW then STOP when you here CLICK. Let's say if your specs stated 80 then set to 40 to go to 60 then go 80. Get this practice right and you'll never have any problem, I promised.

It was easy enough to change the bits for each use. The quality of the wrench is good enough for what it is and it has decent enough grip on the handle for heavy duty use.

Always wanted a set of torque wrenches, but hesitated by the price. Finally decided to purchase this set due to the good reviews and affordable price. I am glad I did. As an amateur car mechanic, I finally can do some minor repairs myself. I used the set on my 12 year old CRV to replace spark plugs. They worked fine. I just wish the shaft could be a bit longer. Great value!

Update: I used it to replace a bike seat and set the wrench to 12Nm. The wrench stripped internally and basically could no longer tighten or loosen anything. So, after less than a dozen uses, it died on the last day I was able to return it, which I did. I can no longer recommend this wrench and changed my review from 5 stars to 1 star. I needed a torque wrench for a new bicycle build. I have plenty of automotive torque wrenches but none go down to a couple of Nm. This wrench appears to be well built, no plastic on it. When I connected my 3/8" torque wrench to this one, both set to 20Nm, they both clicked at the same time which means either both are wrong, or hopefully, both correct. I built the bike and didn't break any fasteners or strip any threads, so that's good. Also, I do like the button on the back to release the socket, I find that better than the ones where you can pull off the socket without depressing a button as they tend to loosen up over time and you lose your socket. All said, a good value.

Excelente producto

Works very well if you're a home gamer. You can hear and feel the click. Fairly easy to read. Worth the $86. Little rough on the Finish around the barrel. But would buy again

Works as mentioned. Strong and sturdy. Happy with purchase.
