2.0 out of 5 stars A good 20-100 ft lb torque wrench (not 10-150), May 24, 2008

Great price and it does work; there's a noticeable click when the torque limit is hit. But the lowest torque marking is 20 lbs, not 10 lbs. And it's very hard to adjust the torque to the higher range - I can't get it past 100 lbs by hand.

I purchased this wrench to work on my motorcycle. I previously owned a snap on and this one isn't as finished but it is solidly built and will get the job done. No issues and for the price I'm very pleased. I would recommended it to anyone looking not to spend 4-5 times as much on a name brand.

I probably ordered this torque wrench expecting a better value, so that's my failed expectation. As others have pointed out, it can be difficult to adjust beyond 100 ft. lbs and this makes me wonder about its accuracy. In my case I wanted it only to torque lug nuts, as I've got a high quality 3/8" drive torque wrench for those times when greater precision is required. If you are more than an occasional mechanic, I'd look to spending more money on this tool; if it is for occasional use where absolute precision is not mandatory, it's probably ok.
