This product works extremely well, is consistant in its setting and typical of old world German quality workmanship.

It is much better value for the money than some other torque screwdrivers and I like the fact that it comes with a certificate of testing and calibrating that uses 6 tests per setting in several ranges. Mine showed less deviancy from settings than 3% with 1.2% being the average. Many box store devices of this kind claim accuracy of +/-6% and no certificate of testing actually comes with them. The positive clik disconnect limiting mechanism eliminates the posibility of over torquing a screw or bolt.

I purchased this tool to torque the cutters on the shelix cutter head on my planer. The tool is well made and works well but the instructions are a bad joke. You really have to figure out how to use the tool and what accessories you will need to allow the tool to do what you need - I had to order a 1/4 inch adaptor to make the tool useful. If instructions had been even average I would have given this tool 5 stars.

This tool is a must have if you are concerned about doing lasting, quality work. It is very well built and feels like you are holding a BMW. Make sure you order the 1/4" bit holder if you are using that size. Don't be fooled by lesser models! This is inexpensive compared to the cost of any damage you might cause, rookie.

What a pleasant change to purchase a finely engineered tool for a reasonable price, not like the crap you get from China...
I used this torque driver to install the scope mount screws on my hunting rifle. It performed flawlessly.
I'd highly recommend the Wiha torque driver to anyone without hesitation.

I have not yet used the screwdriver but it is a well made tool and I will use it for mounting rifle scopes and other project. Also, if you order the Torque Screwdriver you will also need to order 1/4" square drive adaper and 1/4" bit holder adaper. The screwdriver came with 4.0mm bit holder adaper for Wiha Micro Bits.

I bought this screwdriver to torque down small bolts on a hobby project of mine and it did the job well. My only gripe is with the grip being not particularly grippy. I would go for a T-shape handle next time.

I bought this item in error. I needed inch-pounds and I failed to realize when purchasing this that it measures inch-ounces! I returned it and bought the correct model Wiha TorqueVario screwdriver and I'm extremely happy with the quality and ease of use.

Have used manu Wiha tools in past and found quality and workmanship to be excellent. This was no different. Tool is easy to use and works exactly as intended. There are cheaper units available, but if you want top quality. Wiha is on the short list.
