As a pro user, using this in the shop every day, I dislike "click" type micrometer torque wrenches, as they must be re-calibrated on a regular basis to maintain accuracy. I prefer beam type wrenches, as they never really need re-calibration (simply bend the pointer to line it up on 0 if necessary) and I still have my KD torque wrench (0-150 Ft Lbs, 1/2 inch drive) that is over 30 years old, and still works consistently and accurately every day. KD tools hold up under the tough daily use in a professional repair shop. I highly recommend these to anyone.

This is nice compliment to my other torque wrench, I wanted something that does inch pounds and this has a very good range. It runs from 0-600 inch pounds and should work just fine for lower torque specifications. 600 inch pounds is 50 foot pounds so this covers all the lower range I need and it seems to be well made. It is smaller than my higher torque click style wrench, it is a beam style so it has the advantages and disadvantages that go along with that.

Very good choice. Good range for most torquing. Quality built. Made in the USA. Will be reliable for years to come because it doesn't need calibrating as does a clicker or dial style. My old clicker was way out of calibration. Not as user friendly as a clicker but nice to know it will still be accurate the next time I need it.
