Works Great! Although it's larger than I expected.
By Robert Sheriff on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2024
As stated, It is larger than normal 1/4" drive torque wrenches. Almost as big as the other two drives. It is accurate. But do not let it sit out in the cold in the winter. No electronic torque wrench reads properly when nearly frozen. That said, this is a very nice wrench. I like that I can torque and angle all in one sweep. Gearwrench makes great stuff!

Beeps and Buzzes like crazy before reaching desired torque or desired angle - HATE IT
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2024
Whoever designed the programming on this torque wrench never had to torque multiple bolts in an engine re-assembly! The software needs to be re-designed to only do a "Beep" when it hits the desired torque - NOT before. And a nice feature would be to mute the frustrating wrench. If it made ONE quiet "Beep" when you hit the desired torque- Just like all the click type torque wrenches have done dor decades! Absolutely no need for ANY Beeping or Buzzing before the desired torque is reached! I often have to torque dozens of bolts when re-assembling engines - and many are Torque/Angle specs, but I am sending this torque wrench back and either just going back to my "1 click when torque is reached" mechanical torque wrench - unless I discover someone who makes an electronic torque wrench that doesn't sound like a fire alarm and vibrate like a Harley Davidson in my hand before it ever reaches the desired torque! It is super frustrating that this torque wrench starts LOUDLY BUZZING and BEEPING way before reaching the desired torque or desired angle. It has a wonderful flex head and fine teeth, but it's all defeated by the frustrating beeps and vibrations before the desired torque is reached. It also does not accurately indicate angle if you cannot do it in 1 pass. Testing the torque against the test stand, it varies in when it hits the torque plus or minus about 15% and doesn't repeat well. Sending it back and looking for an alternative that doesn't drive me crazy with all the noise and vibration this one puts out!
