Titan23141 3/8-Inch Drive Beam Type Torque Wrench

Terrific and reliable product for anyone who needs to torque bolts/nuts.Initially the pointer was a little off, but instructions noted you can adjust the pointer! And was able to do so with ease. I previously bought a different brand (same beam-style) torque wrench, from a local auto parts store, but the pointer was slightly off and not center-able. This Titan brand one is better / I use more.I first used this on a Toyota engine rebuild, lots of little 10mm low torque bolts. This thing is a time saver compared to a click-drive torque wrench. You don’t have to tighten / loosen or set anything like you would a click drive or digital torque wrench.Just make sure you’re looking straight & above the pointer / gauge to get an accurate reading.Again, this style torque wrench is WAYYYYY better than my cheap 1/4” click drive torque wrench....Sometimes my click drive would not “click” depending on the angle i held it... I almost cracked a customer’s plastic valve cover tightening a 10mm bolt on a KiaOnly thing, wish it came with a small plastic case or something, but still not a big deal.Either way, still a great product

Old school tool that requires more attention while using versus click type.overall good tool that gets the job done.came zeroed,better quality here than local stores.

The beam is to long. You can see or read the torque numbers

I got this Titan 3/8" drive torque wrench because it's in "inch pounds" and newton meters for torquing head bolts and sump cover on a Briggs & Stratton L head gas engine. After reading all the negative Amazon reviews on the click torque wrenches on the market, I decided to go "old school" and use beam torque wrenches, because you can visibly see the torque deflection. The Titan is well made and sturdy, my only complaint is that the scale in inch pounds is only in 25 inch pound increments, so you have to estimate if you have a say a 140 inch pound requirement. But hey, at least I can see and trust that I'm close to required torque instead of trusting a clike which may never come before stripping out a bolt in an aluminum head! I would recommend this beam torque wrench!

There are certain things that can't be done with the new click type torque wrench. Glad I could find this little gem.

I was going to purchase the Presa 31003 Beam Style Torque Wrench, 3/8-Inch yet it cost more and really didn't look any different plus it got some not so great reviews.This item the pointer is dead on the 0 mark and nothing is bent and the finish is satin with no marks or roughness and the scale is readable. I would have got a Foot pound scale yet i can convert . I just trust these more since I've had a few in the past old sears and never had issues. I feel this Titan is a very good product and have been a tech for 40 years now retired, I know what to look for. Most of the click type are simply more trouble than their worth unless you spend a small fortune for one and I ddon't have a fortune.I have a very old craftsman 944466 Digitork 3/8" Drive Torque Wrench it is a click type 3/8" drive 5 to 75 foot pound and NM and checked it @ 14 foot pounds using a jug of water weighing 14 lb's 12" from the center of the drive and it was only 1/2 pound off so it's much better than most of the models sold of this type in this century .

Stop working in one week. locked up my computer going to send back.

Well made split beam torsion bar with easy-to-read markings. Best for light duty where you don't need a lot of torque. No way to be really sure about the accuracy.
