Precision Instruments (PREC2FR100F) 3/8" Dr. Split Beam Click Type Torque Wrench with Flex Head - 20 to 100 Lb. Ft.

by Precision Instruments

Product Description

Split-Beam Click Wrenches overcome many of the problems associated with micrometer-style click wrenches in abusive environments. The wrench has few components, and all critical parts are welded together at assembly. There is no need to ?work in" a C series torque wrench before using it the first time. Nor is it necessary to adjust to the lowest torque setting after use. Setting the tool requires only fingertip force since the adjustment mechanism is not under load.

Extremely Accurate-Accurate within 4% of reading from 20% of full scale to full scale.

Guaranteed against defect in workmanship and materials for 1 year from the date of delivery providing that they have been used according to instructions.

Setting torque on adjustable wrenches is fast and easy because there is no spring tension on the adjustment knob.

Torque setting locks on adjustable wrenches for repetitive applications.

The wrench length is designed to provide the leverage required for maximum torque applications. The length also provides the needed reach for those-hard-to-get-at places.

Plastic molded storage case, calibration certificate, and instructions included.
Range: 20-100 lb. ft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Split Beam Torque Wrench, July 22, 2007

An excellent product. Torque settings are easily dialed via a thumb screw adjustable scale. The ratcheting
3/8 drive flex head is another useful feature. I found this torque wrench to be substantially lighter and
easier to use than comparable micrometer adjustable types. The added plus is that one does not have to return
the torque setting to zero after the wrench is used.

I am a full time mechanic, and have used other brand torque wrenches, this one fits the bill. Best part is yoy don't have to set dial back to zero and it makes a loud click at spec. torque. 2 ft. lbs. between settings is as close as you need to be. and it is made by the same company that makes snap on torque wrenches.

I use this thing every day and it finally gave out on me. I ended up stripping the ratchet mechanism in roughly 2 years. Not really happy about that. Unfortunately, I can't find the rebuild kit anywhere but from the manufacturer so that sucks. The other thing that annoys me is it lacks a reverse, so I'm probably going to ditch this torque wrench and buy a nice electronic torque wrench with a reverse. I do like the narrow head as it does help get into some tight spots. One recommendation would be to put some thread lock on the 2 allen/hex head screws on the ratchet head.
