CDI 501MRMH Torque 1/4-Inch Drive Micro-Adjustable Torque Wrench

Small, fits in tight places, nice distinct click, reversible ratchet, works as it should. Only complaint is I need my glasses to read the setting.

Exactamente lo que necesitaba y con un tiempo de entrega excepcional

This is my 3rd CDI torque wrench that I've purchased from Amazon. This was bought to complete my set as I already owned the 1/2 and 3/8 sizes. I believe the heads are the only difference between these and the Snap on version. While I love snap on and have used snap on extensively along with craftsman and occasionally some husky brand stuff, these are absolutely amazing quality and accuracy for the price. I've recently installed a new clutch, brakes, rotated tires, and used this 1/4 size for torqing a slave cylinder to a transmission and some motorcycle and dirt bike maintenance. All torque wrenches have held up awesome and stay in calibration very well providing you zero them out when done, keep them clean, and store them carefully in their cases. I love that they come with a protective case and a certificate of calibration. If you like high quality tools and don't want to pay snap on prices definitely buy CDI. I haven't had any issues in 2-3 years, so that says a lot considering how much they are used. Plus, if they ever need recalibration I can mail them to CDI in Southern California for a reasonable cost. Others have mentioned that warranty is not effective if purchased through Amazon. I can't comment on that as I've never had a problem. Quality is hard to find these days, CDI definitely takes pride in their products and it shows with accuracy and durability!

Magnificent made us product

I own several CDI torque wrenches, this is why: First, they look good -- chrome plating with laser etched markings makes a tool that looks great and will be easy to clean. I know its just a tool, but having a tool that looks good in your hand is more fun to use. The micrometer adjustment is in 10's around the dial so there is no adding or guessing what your setting is. I have used others in 15 lb graduations and this tool removes the fuss. Simply pull back on the spring loaded sleeve and rotate the main body to make adjustments. Let go and it locks right in. Others I have used have a locking dial on the handle end which can become loose and you lose your setting. The handle is just the right length. CDI has excellent customer support. I contacted them prior to ordering and a tech spent plenty of time explaining the specifics of their wrenches. I called the tech for an explanation on accuracy ratings. This wrench is accurate within +/- 4% from 20% to 100% of full scale -- my certificate of calibration states values much lower than this (from .5 - 2.5%). 20% to 100% is industry standard though some torque wrench's will be accurate to +/- 3%. In this case 20% of 150 in/lb is 30 in/lb. So this tool will be increasingly less accurate the farther below 30 in/lb you go. This is due to lack of compression on the spring in the lower range. Really this wrench should be labeled as a 30 - 150 in/lb wrench, corresponding to the included certificate of calibration (meaning: my cert. of calibration labels this wrench as 30 - 150 ft/lb). Just know that with ANY spring type click wrench the low capability should be 20% of max even if dial will indicate a lower setting.
