CDI TORQUE PRODUCTS 3/8 Inch Drive Adjustable Click Wrench, Range 10-100 Ft Lbs / 16.9-132.2 Nm (1002MFRMH)

High quality product with a most useful range if working on motorbikes.Great value for what you are getting, when compared to the competition.

The immediately discernable difference between a hefty, high quality, pleasure to use, "comfortable in the hand", highly accurate (it comes with a certificate of accuracy), beautifully made tool such as this torque wrench and one made by a little known, offshore manufacturer is truly the difference between night and day. This CDI 1/2" drive torque wrench is quite likely more tool than I need to work on my car (a Porsche), simply snugging down the engine oil drain plug and re-attaching my road wheels. But that said, I wanted to be absolutely sure that the wrench I would be using to perform these simple but important tasks would be of the highest quality and accuracy while still being relatively affordable. This wrench most certainly meets all of those requirements and more.Yes, I could have purchased a less costly Asian made wrench, but truth-to-tell, I wanted the assurance inherent in using an American made tool from a well known and respected manufacturer. CDI, being a subsidiary of Snap-On (far too expensive for a shade tree mechanic such as myself) gives me that assurance. If I have a complaint, and I do, it is that the numbers embossed on the shank of the wrench are a little difficult to see and therefore to interpret unless the torque settings are adjusted directly under a strong light. Not a major hassle, but my (very) old Snap-On torque wrench was easier to set than this one.That minor inconvenience aside, this is a wonderful wrench. It is undoubtedly the best tool in my tool box now that my old Snap-On wrench has been sold. I fully expect it will serve me as well as that one did for many years to come.

Ratchet head is screwed, torque isn't reset, covered in gunk.

First I want to say that I own several different makes of torque wrenches and this is the first CDI torque wrench that I have purchased. After using this torque wrench for several months I feel that I've used it enough to write an educated review.This review is for the 1 inch drive torque wrench and I use it for a specific job. It is used to torque bolts on a forklift attachment to a setting of 720 ft lbs. so it is a pretty hefty task and the torque is near the upper end of this wrenches scale.The wrench comes with a very sturdy (and heavy) metal carrying case which is a major plus. For a wrench of this magnitude and weight I was pleased to see it didn't come with the standard blow molded, and normally wimpy carrying case. It is a two piece torque wrench and once assembled it measures a whopping 70" and weighs around 25 lbs. The weight and length of this wrench make torquing bolts to over 700 lbs quite easy. I weigh in at 160 lbs so I figured I would be hanging on the end of this wrench to reach 720 lbs but with a medium effort two handed pull I can get the proper torque. However, it is quite a workout handling this wrench due to the weight.The torque wrench itself is of exceptional quality. Like I stated earlier I have several makes of torque wrenches and this one, by far, exceeds the rest with its quality and workmanship. The torque adjusting dial has a locking collar so once you select your specified torque you don't need to worry about the dial moving while handling the wrench. It locks in securely and is very easy to unlock and change your specs.Snap-On does it again with an exceptional tool that is aesthetically pleasing, ergonomic and extremely durable. And Amazon comes in with the best price on this product on the planet saving me several hundred dollars. I will never own another brand of torque wrench.

This is the best torque wrench I have ever owned.I knew as soon as I took it out of the box.No plastic! Everything is very solid, polished, and machined looking.The knurled adjustment handle and all the numbered torque-setting marks are a work of art.There is a dated calibration card that shows the torque tests for a whole range of values. This is one accurate torque wrench!I'm suprised and how much better this torque wrench is compared to any I have ever seen in a big-box retail store.Well worth it. It looks like it will last generations.
