These are only like $1 less than the everyday price of identical EPAuto torque wrenches also made in Taiwan. Does $1 off make it a slick deal?

Not certain they are identical, but your EPAuto does come with the two extensions and maybe a place to store one socket.

Maybe and maybe not. A lot of similar brands vary in price because of warranty that is factored into the price. Some of the tool brands with the no questions asked warranties, are also by far the most expensive to pay for that service.

Came here to say this. The EPAuto is the same wrench with an adapter and extension.

Some of the reviews for this wrench (Lexivon) and for the EPAuto wrench say that it's not accurate, leading to snapped bolts and stripped holes. I want a low-torque wrench (or better yet, screwdriver) for working on server chassis sometimes, but need to be able to trust it.

I personally think you nailed it. I use a HF for torqueing wheel nuts where 5-10 lbs. won't matter, but a quality 3/8" torquer when I don't want a head gasket job to fail.

Thanks, but I I was looking at the EPAuto 25-250lb model as more versatile, 6" longer as most are for easier usage, that has two 1/2" extensions. I do see what you are talking about with the 10-150lb that has that 1/2" to 3/8" adapter that made my decision even easier for the gift I am searching for that will be used for torquing wheels. Meanwhile, a place to store a wheel specific socket would be nice.

Same wrench from same factory? Once again, maybe. They certainly have different finishes (the Lexivon is attractive), some or no accessories and the knurling looks different from picture to picture that may be just to make them look a little different. I suspect several facilities turn out different parts used in similar wrenches that may or may not be interchangeable. Unless I, or someone I trusted was at the specific factory to verify, or owned both with a tear down for like with maintenance, I am going to stay with the 'maybe.'

People should have a general feel of what different torque feels like and in my opinion, anyone that keeps cranking to the point of snapping off bolts is just ignorant. First thing to do is check the wrench with the local Snap-On, Mac, auto parts store, etc. Someone posted a link for how to do it the hard way with weights and such. Another option is to buy a torque meter and of course, have it tested for accuracy. All of these click torque wrenches require maintenance and can easily be re-calibrated when needed. Then again, with a $50-$100 digital and toned torque meter, do you really need the wrench?

Reading the reviews of products is almost entertaining ---as in, many are too stupid to be playing with scissors, let alone tools without supervision. It is right up there with, "I can't believe McDonald's serves hot coffee and did not tell me." .... lol

Buying a mass produced $25 tool from Asia and expecting perfection is ludicrous. You need to check them as normal maintenance.

You should maybe read up on that McDonald's case. Really, really bad example.
