Uharbour 3/8" Drive Digital Torque Wrench 1.5-99.5 ft-lbs/6.8-135Nm

Great wrench for the money. The digital wrench appears to be highly accurate and is perfect for those jobs that require low but accurate torque. For the occasional user highly recommend this over wrenches that are much more expensive.

I used it daily i work at ford. Compared it to snap on for quality control every once in a while always reads perfectly

So far works well

I have been using torque wrenches since the late 80’s. I use them not only for factory specifications but to prevent me from breaking off bolts or damaging the equipment I’m working on. Most people think of using torque wrenches for tightening to factory specifications but, do you know every bolt can be calculated to know the exact torque it takes to break it during removal too. One thing I practice this technique on is spark plug removal. If you’ve ever had a spark plug break off in the head of an engine before, you know what a nightmare that can be. You can usually find out what the maximum torque of a spark plug is during removal and use that to help you get it out more safely than guessing how much torque it’s going to take on your own. People are not built equally and are stronger or weaker than others. I used to break bolts off left and right prior to owning a torque wrench. I had to realize I needed a torque wrench after breaking bolts and causing myself a bit of work getting broken bolts or stripped threads fixed. Nowadays I have torque tools for mostly everything I can to prevent making more work for myself and besides, you really should torque bolts and nuts to a specific torque specifically specified by the manufacturer. If you practice this, it will make your life easier in the long run. Now more about Uharbour Digital Torque Wrenches. After testing several torque wrenches, I have replaced all my older mechanical torque wrenches with Uharbour torque wrenches. It’s really nice not having to zero out the torque wrenches after every time you use them. The mechanical torque wrenches can be set, used, and put away without zeroing. Overall the benefits of having a digital torque wrench exceeds the mechanical torque wrench by far. The Uharbour Digital Torque Wrench has 9 different programmable presets, 500 memory banks to save the torque value under. Use for this can be valuable to someone that writes down every torque value for each bolt location. For example, you have a head of an engine and there are 16 bolts needing torqued in a specific pattern. After the first bolt is torqued (IN PEAK MODE), you press the (M) on the keypad, it saves that torqued value in memory. Do the same thing after torquing every bolt and then you can go back and review those torqued values and write them down in your spreadsheet for the rebuild. Uharbour Torque Wrenches have 72 teeth and the ratcheting mechanism has a very smooth and easy to turn gearing. The switch for clockwise and counter clockwise is very easy to switch. The tool’s mechanism is very well designed and constructed. The digital display on the Uharbour is one of the best I’ve seen and used. Most displays are LCD with a lit up screen which is difficult to see. The Uharbour display has one of the best displays I’ve seen by far. The numbers and letters on the display actually light up making it one of the easiest to read in dark areas. The processor used in this torque wrench refreshes faster than any other torque wrenches I’ve tested. The accuracy is very very good. The Uharbour +\- 1% is the best I’ve ever seen at this price range. If you compare the +\- 2% that most torque wrenches are, the +\- 1% far exceeds the 2% of other brands. You just can’t go wrong with the Uharbour Torque Wrenches. They come in a variety of torque ranges. I believe you will find the Uharbour Torque Wrenches to be the last brand you need to own. I have put the ones I have to the test over three months of rebuilding several engines. Afterwards I checked the accuracy to make sure it was correct, and it did not miss a beat.

Love this torque wrench. Buttons could be more intuitive but once you figure it out, this thing measures down the the hundredth, and measures in real time. Used this to put an SBC 383 together and had zero issues.

I had to purchase this to change my valve cover gasket and it worked well. The directions weren’t very useful, and I had to actually google a video of it. Overall it was a good purchase. The carrying case was a nice touch as well!

Very easy to use

First off, ill say this is a great value, it's works exactly as it should, tested against my name brand 1/4 and 1/2 TW's with no complaints there. That said there's some user interface annoyances I will address. Like I mentioned, I have other digital name brand torque wrenches (1/4" & 1/2") that I use regularly so I'm not new to this, but the menu is not intuitive at all, I've never had a torque wrench where I had to actually read the instructions just to set a torque value. My other gripe is the incremenent in which you raise and lower the value and the speed in which it does it. It starts off going at 0.01 lb/ft increments which that in itself is ridiculous, nobody is using this unit to torque space shuttles or medical equipment. Once you hold the button for a second, it will then speed up to go at 0.1 increments. Still a little small for a cheap homeowners wrench. Then, after a couple more seconds it will speed up to 0.5 lb/ft increments. Which if that was the constant change rate, that would be perfect. But then after a second more it speeds up to 1.0 increments, but will also sometimes stop on a half lb/ft which is odd. The fact it changes speed several times makes it incredibly annoying to try and stop at, say, 20 lb/ft. If you let go at the wrong time and stop at 18.50, then trying to time the 3 or 4 rate changes perfectly and stop at 20 is annoyingly difficult. My other small gripe is the case, it's a nice case don't get me wrong but by no means does it need to be so huge. It's more than twice as wide as my 1/2" torque wrench case, and takes up way more room in a tool box than necessary so I'll probably just forego the case. Also, why does the case need a window?? It's a tool, it doesn't need a view of the sunset. All in all, good value for $60. I like the buzzer along with the usual lights and beeps. Though, This is the one wrench I will probably actually set up all my usual preset torque values so I don't have to deal with the annoying value setting procedure every time.
