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.

I researched this type torque wrench and was looking at the Snap-on split beam when I saw this baby on Amazon. This Company (Precison Insturments) invented the split beam and for roughly half the price of a Snap-on I picked this one and I wasn't disappointed.

AS A RETIRED FEDERAL AIRCRAFT MECHANIC I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER TORQUE. ALONG WITH PROPER TORQUE GOES THE PROPER TORQUE WRENCH. THE SPLIT BEAM STYLE IS THE TYPE I HAVE USED FOR OVER 20 YEARS. YOU WILL HAVE LESS CALIBRATION ISSUES THAN THE "CLICK" TYPE, IN MY OPINION. DON'T EXPECT TO BUY THIS ONE OR ANY BRAND AND IT HOLD ITS ACCURACY FOREVER. THERE ARE MUCH CHEAPER ONES ON THE MARKET. IN MY OPINION, AVOID THESE LIKE THE PLAGUE. THEY ARE CHEAP FOR A REASON. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN AMERICAN COMPANY MAKING A QUALITY PRODUCT FOR A FAIR PRICE. THIS IS THE BRAND I WILL STAY WITH ALONG WITH THE SPLIT BEAM STYLE UNLESS THEY SELL OUT TO SOME NON AMERICAN ENTITY THAT COULD CARE LESS ABOUT AMERICA BUT ONLY ABOUT PROFIT.
