The media could not be loaded. Very impressive torque wrench. For a half inch drive, it’s a beast. Very lengthy too, which should help with achieving the higher torque values as I age. It came with a nice case too, to keep it stored properly when not in use. I know there’s been a lot of hating on Craftsman lately but hey, their tools get the job done, and they are economically friendly too. And Ive used all types of brands of tooling and Craftsman is on top for affordability, usability and durability. So, if you’re mechanically inclined and like doing your own work, get one of these to help in torquing all your fasteners properly. It takes the guess work out of it.

Works great. Good quality and good price

The media could not be loaded. In my opinion, it works fine, but probably may not be the first choice for a professional. It's reality long and only is useful for 20-100 ft/lbs so not ideal for right spots and low torque.Technically you can use it for 10-20 ft/lbs by setting the specifications to below the 20 mark but set the rotating piece in line with that mark to get values like 11, 12, 13, etc. but be aware that the clink at these torques are extremely faint. Go very slowly and listen very keenky.Do not use on anything less than 10 ft/lbs! I already did that test for you and broke a bolt.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because after tightening just 10 lug nuts at 80+ ft/lbs, the left/right switch wouldn't budge and I lost all rotation on the drive. Nothing would tighten or loosen. I was able to fix it by using a pair of pliers and force the switch loose and then it was back to normal. I'm hoping this was just a "first use" problem.All in all, grip is great; material feels premium; clear instructions on manual; markings won't go away unless you chisel them off; and most of all, it works (click audible for 20+ ft/lbs).Great buy for DIY jobs.

craftsman sure makes nice tools. this is a nice torque wrench. bought it to torque wheel nuts. worth every penny spent

I like this tool cause it’s made perfect. Easy to set up the twist dial and the settings are visible, very well made to last , comes in a plastic case . The length is perfect for torquing larger bolts

Perfect on accuracy and click sound. Nice quality.
