" ... Feels well made and comforting to know I’m actually putting things back to factory spec. ... "
" ... Both versions I have from TEKTON also came with nice protective cases. ... "
" ... Seems to be accurate and sturdy. ... "
" ... Seems to be well made .looks like good quality tool! ... "
" ... When I open the box, it came in a neat plastic but sturdy case. ... The lower adjusting nut can easily be adjusted for more or less torque. ... "
" ... With a little muscle and a couple clicks the nut was torqued properly. ... "
" ... It is easy to set the proper torque and it insures that your bolts are precisely tightened. ... "
" ... Based on the build and quality, I'll probably end up using this one more than my digital one now ... "

" ... This torque stick however didn’t come close to the quality of those. ... "
" ... With all the reports of sheared bolts and clicking issues, I didn’t want to risk using it. ... "
" ... I had this 3 months and probably used it 30 times and it broke right in the middle of doing a front end job. ... "
" ... Over tighten them because no click or anything. ... "
" ... I’ve used it about 5 times for torquing lug nuts and a couple times for front end work on my truck. ... "
" ... One completely fell apart on me, the second one just all of a sudden lost all of its torque causing me to under torque everything. ... "
" ... The locking mechanism on the handle WOULD NOT stay locked. ... I bought this to do a head gasket job and had to return it because everytime I would apply force to the handle the locking mechanism would slip and change the torque setting. ... "
" ... Bought this to tighten a CNC vice with repeatable torque. ... One of the internal cintered pins randomly broke off and now it slips when trying to tighten. ... "

" ... easy to to adjust and click sure beats the old beam torque wrench ... "
" ... I can't speak to its accuracy since I didn't test for it, but it feels about right. ... "
" ... Very useful to help you tighten down nuts and bolts to the proper pressure. ... "
" ... The lower adjusting nut can easily be adjusted for more or less torque. ... "
" ... I don't have anything to check it against, but it 'feels right' ... always clicks about when expected, helps me avoid over-tightening stuff. ... "
" ... Is it accurate, I dunno for sure since I’ve no way of testing it but it feels bout right. ... "
" ... But this a double edge sword - yes, it might make thing a little difficult on tight spaces, but if the teeth were become worn or broken (more likely if they were smaller), than it might become very hard to distinguish between the mechanism skipping teeth and “the click” indicating the right torque had been reached. ... "
" ... Feels and operates like a quality tool. ... "

" ... I have no way of measuring accuracy however these come calibrated. ... "
" ... I'm big on metrology as well - accuracy and repeatability. ... "
" ... I did not rate its accuracy because I have no certified instrument to use to measure it’s stated accuracy. ... I am TRUSTING it’s stated accuracy. ... "
" ... I don't have any tools for measuring accuracy, but it felt right. ... "
" ... Otherwise it seems to be as accurate as my other wrenches. ... "
" ... I only calibrated it against anotyher higher $$ one I hav e and it seems accurate. ... "
" ... Can’t speak for the accuracy for sure as I have never really tested it. ... "
" ... It's hard to judge accuracy without an intendent standard to measure against. ... "

" ... This worked the first time I used it and then didn’t work the next time I tried it 5 minutes later. ... "
" ... So my lesson is that "like new" from a returns department can mean equally as defective as when first sold. ... But it is my fault for purchasing a product claiming to be as defective as it was when originally sold or "like new." ... "

" ... The TEKTON's do just as well as the Mac and Snapon tools in my tool chest. ... They are made in the U.S.A. and a fraction of the price of Mac and Snapon. ... I still like Mac and Snapon, but TEKTON gives a lot more buying power. ... "
" ... After pricing a 600 ft-lb wrench from MAC and Snap-On at about $1000, I decided 300 would be close enough, since I could push it about 10-15 degrees past the 300 ft-lb 'click'. ... "
