85lebaront2 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 This is either Harbor Freight or Northern Tool, but is extremely accurate according to Morehouse Calibration. They bought one to demo at a calibration conference in September 2011 with the idea of showing what kind of junk is on the market. It backfired, it is better than a lot of high end devices that sell more for their name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I have a very similar unit from Eastwood. Matches my new digital torque wrenches closely. If you don't have digital torque wrenches it works pretty well. But, it is awkward due to its size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a problem on the front wheel, short 1 1/6" 1/2" drive socket and a long breaker bar, just pushed down until I got 140 ft-lbs. (8 times). I think it cost about $40.

Dyn Blin Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I love mine. My wrenching buddy made a lot of fun of me when I started using it on the Volvo a few years back (lots of aluminum of those cars and easy to over tighten bolts), but after a year of matching his Snap On he started leaving me alone.
