Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this wrench: http://www.harborfreight.com/1-2-hal...rench-239.html I'm trying to avoing breaking the bank on a tourque wrench
Thanks

 

Yea I have one, I will be using it today on my mj. I never had a problem with it. Don't forget your 20% coupon

 

I would get one from sears before buying that one.

 

I take mine to work every few months to have calibrated, and not to sound like a harbor freight employee but it is always pretty damn close and easy for them to get back to the 4% toleration. For the money, I think they are great. There are only a few things I won't buy from HF.

 

How do you even go about calibrating a torque wrench?

 

You use a torque wrench calibrater obviously...........

 

I bought 2 torque wrenches at the same time from harbor freight. Neither of them worked lol.

 

pffft. I feel like a total idiot. I thought it was going to be some fancy shamncy thousand dollar device.

 

I just bought the brown metalworks or whatever there called torque wrench. They seem to get very good reviews besides people saying they are big. I used the code cherokee and it was $99 shipped

 

Hell if I know I'm not a cal tech. I just know we have an entire lab at work for it.

 

I've got one, it works well enough for me. Every so often they have coupons making it $9.99. For ten bucks you really can't go wrong

Yeah HF has quality control issues lol. Usually when I buy stuff there I try it out in the parking lot before I leave in case I need to exchange it haha.

 

Found this for calibration.


They have one for 3/8th too.

 

Hell.. I HAD a craftsmen torque wrench and the head just snapped off. le' sad!!!

 

I have had mine 1/4 3/8 1/2 and they are just as good as the snap-on one that I bought to replace them but I still use the harbor freight one for home use and the only reason I bought the snap-on ones is my company split the bill with me

 

I work on diesel stuff small and large I will keep my snap on torque wrenches , I use an ancient beam wrench for some thIngs tho !
