Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Day in and day out, mechanics routinely tighten a variety of components to specific torque values. Despite their vast experience and attention to detail, even the best and most efficient mechanic can occasionally over-tighten or under-tighten a component, leading to vehicle damage or even catastrophic failure. Using a patented Double Gear Sensing System (D.G.S.S.), the Brown Line Digital Torque Wrench greatly reduces the possibility of human error with the following features.
LCD Display
Quickly and easily enter a “Target Torque” by using the intuitive button design. The backlit LCD will then display in real time the exact amount of torque being applied.
Audible and Visual Signals
A series of LEDs and a buzzer alert the user as the Target Torque is being approached - and then hit. This helps to eliminate over-torquing as the user is able to adjust their pull speed as the Target Torque nears. Once the Target Torque is hit, a red light and buzzer simultaneously alert the user to stop pulling.
Peak Torque Display
After applying torque to a fastener, the wrench will display the Peak Torque (highest torque value) so the user knows exactly how much torque was applied. No more guessing as to the final torque.
Accuracy
Double Gear Sensing System Technology (D.G.S.S.) and 8-bit microprocessor produce precise torque readings of +/- 3.5 percent clockwise and counter clockwise. And unlike a traditional “click” style wrench, the Brown Line wrench does not have to be turned down to its lowest setting when being stored. This is the biggest reason why torque wrenches go out of calibration.
Measurement Units
At the press of a button convert from Ft-lbs to Nm to In-lbs. No more wasting time doing the calculations by hand.
Range
A ½” ratcheting drive and a range from 15 to 150 Ft. lbs makes the Brown Line wrench perfect for automotive use — from torqueing lug nuts to doing engine work.
Plastics
The Brown Line torque wrench uses specially engineered plastics that resist the most common oils, gasoline, and chemicals you would encounter in a garage. And the soft-grip overmold ensures comfort when being used.

Despite their vast experience and attention to detail, even the best and most efficient mechanic can occasionally over-tighten or under-tighten a component, leading to vehicle damage or even catastrophic failure. This Digital Torque Wrench eliminates the possibility of human error with a series of features that immediately alert the user to torque readings that are over or under entered values. Brown Line Metalworks engineered the only Digital Torque Wrench for the seasoned professional, but priced for the weekend mechanic. Brown Line Metalworks invented and patented (Patent number US 7,367,250) breakthrough technology that allows the Digital Torque wrench to deliver high-end performance and quality at an affordable retail price. Digital Torque wrench has a Double Gear Sensing System Technology (D.G.S.S.) and 8-bit microprocessor enable it to consistently produce precise torque readings of +/- 3.5 percent clockwise and counter clockwise. With a ½ inch ratcheting drive and a range from 15 to 150 Ft/lbs, our Digital Torque Wrench is perfect for automotive use. The backlit LCD screen, green-yellow-red LEDs, and an audible buzzer allows the user to precisely monitor how much torque is being applied. User can set a target torque, and can seamlessly change from Ft/lbs to in/lbs to Nm. Maximum torque applied is displayed when done, ensuring that the user knows exactly how much torque was applied. Specially engineered plastics ensure that the wrench is resistant to common automotive oils and chemicals.

Easy to use, but it has some annoying flaws,

This review is from: Brown Line Metal Works BLD0212 Digital Torque Wrench (Automotive)
After many years of tightening things by feel, I decided that as I was able to do more work on my cars that I would have a nice torque wrench for my toolbox. I needed one pretty quickly because of some new aluminum wheels I was installing and didn't want to over-torque the wheels. I picked this one, despite its relatively high cost because the digital readout with its instantaneous reading seemed very appealing and it had a nice range of 20-150 ft/lbs.
The tool itself is long (as all torque wrench are) which can be an issue in tight quarters or even if you're torquing lug nuts since it will bump into the fenders at most angles. But the advantage of the length is that you can be much smoother when tightening which is essential to getting an accurate torque reading. For lug nuts either a deep socket or an extended will be necessary on most cars. The tool seems made well, and work well. The plastic body leads me to treat this a bit gingerly, but I don't know that its necessary. I suspect I will drop it at some point accidentally and I'll know for sure). It requires 3 AA cells which are not included. The instructions provided are brief and to the point. You set the appropriate scale (ft/lbs or nt/m) and then set the desired torque amount. The numbers are shown on a backlit LCD display. As you use the tool, there are 3 LEDs that tell you what's happening. Green means you're applying torque, yellow means you're close (within 20%) and when you hit the red led and you hear a beep, it means you're hit it. The tool will display torque applied as its being used and will display peak torque. It couldn't be simpler. The one flaw comes from the auto-off feature. The tool will power off in a couple of minutes, which is fine, but when it does, it forgets everything, most annoyingly the target torque you've set. Its not a huge deal, but every time you set the tool down and come back to it, you start all over again. It didn't seem right so I looked through the manual and there seems no way to save your torque. That said, the tool works very well at what it does. I just wish it wouldn't forget the torque settings so easily.

Great new tool,
This review is from: Brown Line Metal Works BLD0212 Digital Torque Wrench (Automotive)
I received this wrench as a present for Father's Day, and so far it
has been working great. It is one of the best father's day gifts I have ever gotten. First, the wrench looks great, and is easy to use. You just set the desired torque and then go. There is a yellow light that lets you know when you are getting close, and a red light and beep goes off when you hit the programmed torque. Best of all, afterwards it will display the actual torque that you hit - so you know exactly what the value was. The wrench can go up to 150 ft.lbs. - which has so far covered everything that I need. Compared to my old "clicker" model - it is so much easier to use. Overall, a great tool.

Good wrench but high maintenance,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brown Line Metal Works BLD0212 Digital Torque Wrench (Automotive)
Good value for money and so far it works fine. It's quite long which is useful for leverage. Quality appears to be nice. The only issue is that you have to wait several seconds for a final torque reading after each crank of the wrench (e.g. on lug nuts) and then you have to hit a button to reset it for the next effort to flash a final torque measure. If you forget then you won't get a reading after the next torque...you do get one while you're wrenching but how often can you watch the little window when you're cranking something down over 100 ft lb's???
There's a track mode I need to try to see if that makes life easier. It's kind of slow the way I'm using it now for something that requires multiple torques.
