SUERCUP 3/8" Drive Click Torque Wrench - 5-45 Ft-Lb/6.8-61Nm Torque Wrench Dual Direction Adjustable 72 Teeth Click Torque Wrench for Motorcycle, Motorcycle, Auto Repair

Too small and range of 10-100 would be good for general use

Very good

I'm a torque wrench junkie. I have torque wrenches from Central Tools, Proto, KD Tools, Armstrong, Precision Instruments, among others. All of my other torque wrenches, aside from this one, are made in USA. Actually I have a Gearwrench torque wrench that's made in China after Apex Tools moved their torque wrench production to China. I believe that was JS Technologies in Georgia, which was owned by Danaher Tool Group. Danaher merged with Cooper Tools, which became Apex. Apex was acquired by Bain Capital, which of course, being a good American company, sought to cut costs at all levels. Hence all US manufacturing (apart from government contract work) was moved to Asian countries. But I digress.....Sorry for the tangent. I got this torque wrench because when I'm changing the oil I have very little clearance to access the drain pan bolt. For reasons I don't fully understand, American tool companies make smaller torque wrenches (12 to 14 inches long) only for inch/pounds scales, which only go up to about 20 ft/lbs. My drain pan bolt needs 30 ft/lbs. So if I wanted a smaller torque wrench that could achieve 30 ft/lbs, the smallest American brand torque wrench I could get would be 18 inches long. This is too long. I can't even get it to click before it hits the ground or the bottom of my car. My old KD Tools torque wrench (made by JS Technologies I believe) was 5-75 ft/lbs and only 12 inches long and that's what I used until it finally broke. This was the only torque wrench I could find with a good ft/lbs torque range at 12 inches long. I do have aGerman made Gedore torque wrench that's about 13 inches long, and it's ok, but it doesn't have quick release and is only in newton meters (yes conversion to ft/lbs is easy....but still). And this little guy is great. It's accurate out of the box, it's small enough that I can torque the drain pan bolt with only a few swings, the quick release allows me to easily remove the socket with greasy hands. It seems fairly solid, although not snap on solid. It works. Bottom line. I mean it's a made in China torque wrench. But so are the Gearwrench. To be fair, most modestly priced quality torque wrenches are made in Taiwan, such as the Harbor Freight and the tool store brands like Cobalt, Harbor Freight, Menards, and others. I still prefer the USA made torque wrenches like Central Tools, CDI (owned by Snap On), Precision Instruments, Sturdevant Richmont (now owned by Snap On I think). But none of those guys made the size I needed. Anyways, recommend it, good stuff, great price.
