I put the wrench to immediate use ratcheting down both my brake brackets and calipers to 125 and 25 ft-lbs respectively. It was very easy to dial-in the desired amount of torque as long as one is careful about which scale you are reading (one side is imperial and while the other metric). The quality is much higher than similar wrenches priced under $100 and the seller was very prompt with shipping.

Pros:
- Solid all metal construction with grip.
- About two feet of length makes it easy to apply large amounts of torque.

Cons:
- Etched numbers can be difficult to read under certain light conditions.
- No quick release.

Note, that the case I received was red, not black, not that it made a difference to me but just be aware of that when you order.

This review is from: Mountain 16250 1/2-inch Drive Torque Wrench - 25-250 ft/lbs (Misc.)

Another one of those tools that you hate to spend money for, especially when your "old faithful" did the job so well for so many years only to be stolen by typical lowlifes. Used rarely but used when called for if you're going to do the job right which I always do. I finally broke down and decided on this wrench only going on the reviews on Amazon and most were extremely favorable.

Received it soon after ordering, wasn't expecting it to be as heavy as it was but a good looking tool and the hard, blown-molded case a nice bonus as far as I'm concerned. It feels like a well made, solid tool, torque adjustment is smooth and being able to tighten down the setting is a positive feature. Old eyes work to see the markings, gradations but that is the only thing I would do differently besides not getting old.

Definitely would recommend to a friend or family member. I've looked at many since purchasing this one and you can pay more but the quality is not any better from what I can tell. So the purchase was not as painful as I thought it was going to be. I rarely give a five rating to anything unless its pretty near perfect but this is a highly rated four for the money.

This review is from: Mountain 16250 1/2-inch Drive Torque Wrench - 25-250 ft/lbs (Misc.)

Torque Wrench arrived in a timely manner. Was impressed with the quality and the functions of the wrench. It is easy to set the amount of torque you want to apply by turning a set screw at the bottom and then turning the handle to the appropriate setting. This is very simple compared to the last torque wrench that a friend gave to me that quit working (Craftsman - and they don't guarantee them either). I am totally satisfied with this product. It also came with a very nice carrying case.
