Amazon Basics 3/8-inch Drive Click Torque Wrench Ratchet, 15-80 ft.-lb, 20.4-108.5 Nm

I've been very impressed with this torque wrench. It feels solid, well-made, and the click is easy to feel and hear when the desired torque is reached. The adjustment mechanism is smooth, and the markings are easy to read, making it simple to set the exact torque I need. It's perfect for automotive work and other projects where accuracy matters. For the price, it's hard to beat the quality and reliability of this Amazon Basics torque wrench. It performs just as well as more expensive options, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

This appears to be a solid torque wrench, with a nice case to store it in between my very rare uses, and the price was excellent for what I got. I've gone 60 years without really needing a torque wrench, but decided to install a trailer hitch on my own to save $200 and figured securing the bolts to specs was pretty important and for about $25 I could have some peace of mind. To adjust to the desired torque, you loosen up the bottom bolt and then turn the lower part of the handle. There are etched marks along the handle to show where it's set in intervals of 5/10 ft lbs, and marks around the lower handle for finer settings. It also shows newton meters if that's your thing. The size and weight are equivalent to a large ratchet wrench and it feels well made. I needed to hit about 50 ft lbs which was my limit for vertical bolts while laying on my back, but you can set is up to 80. When you're torqued to the proper setting, the clutch mechanism will slip a little and you'll hear a click. Very easy to use and as long as you set the number right and torque until it clicks you can't go wrong. I got the 3/8" model since that's what most of my sockets fit. Some of my extensions seems loose on the wrench so it was a little awkward to use, but it's no worse of a fit than my regular wrenches and only stands out because I'm putting so much force on it. The storage case seems excessive, but I don't expect to be using this very often, so hopefully it'll keep things from rusting. This saved me a bunch of money and was very satisfying to finally hear the "click" and know I'm done.

Not sure if the numbers are what they say they are but it's simple to set and worked good for torquing my oil plug and crush washer

Surprisingly good tool, good value, and seems to be accurate, adjustability could be better, definitely not a Snap-On wrench, but still decent and worth a buy.

Initial impression was good & this torque wrench seems well made. However, upon using, I quickly learned the torque values are incredibly faint and almost impossible to read! Further, when aligning the selected value, it is difficult to know the value you on on as the alignment "edge" can be interpreted differently. The result is you the value you set may be 5 in-lbs high or 5 in-lbs low, from the value you think you set. My suggestion: Don't buy! I would return but window closed.

Great tool to have for changing the oil. This tool with keep you from striping the threads on the oil pan of the car. Grinch

Very happy with the purchase.

The Amazon Basics 3/8-inch Drive Click Torque Wrench is a solid budget tool that works well for basic automotive jobs like brakes or suspension work. The click mechanism is easy to feel, the adjustable torque scale is straightforward, and it comes with a storage case. It’s rated for 15–80 ft-lb with about ±4% accuracy, which is good enough for most DIY or occasional mechanic use.

Works well.
