You don't want to abuse a torque wrench by using it as a breaker bar. Technically you could crank up the torque and loosen bolts that aren't as tight as the torque setpoint, but you never want to keep pushing on the wrench after it clicks, in either direction. You'll damage the spring and mechanism. Breaker bars are cheaper than a torque wrench

I have four torque wrenches, to cover most ranges. Even the big ones, I treat with respect and store carefully (usually in the supplied case - or in one I bought for it). Not a tool you want to just toss into your tools bin. EDIT: Oh, and don't forget to set the tool to "neutral" after every use. The cases usually help ensure that.

You'd probably hit the max torque if you need a breaker bar, and you'd instantly lose some leverage at that point.

Then it's probably best not to abuse a tool that needs repeatable results

This is a nice deal. It's nice that it has the lifetime warranty unlike Craftsman. I ended going with Tekton as it is made in Taiwan and this is China if I recall correctly. Also, this wasn't on sale when I was in the market.

Does anyone have any experience between this and the Pittsburg one from harbor freight? I have the Pittsburg but wondering if this would be an improvement?

I bought the 3/8 and the 1/2 a few years back (for the same price) to finally retire the disposable HF Pittsburg ones, which I already had replaced at least 3 times. Haven't had any issues and haven't had to exchange these once so far, though the Husky warranty is there if I do need it.

The collar adjustment works much better than on the HF ones as well. Great tools at a surprisingly uninflated price.

I have never had my 2 pittsburg HF wrenches tested. However, I do feel like you get consistent torque in high torque situations like lug nuts. You don't want uneven torque when doing a water pump or valve cover, plus you need accuracy in the low torque range. The one OP posted has a nice high range of 250lbs. I don't think the HF ones get anywhere near 200 ft lbs. This extra is needed for things like the crank bolt when doing timing belts (at least on my Acura). For those, I just did a loan a tool from Autozone or Advanced (?) for free. My opinion is that I would only get a high end 1/4" or 3/8" since you're dealing significant accuracy needs for LOW torque situations... I have had my 3/8" HF sheer an aluminum bolt b/c it failed to click...that's a total bitch when you have no spare bolts and in the middle of a timing belt job on the weekend.

The Husky is better built and feels very solid. It also has a lifetime warranty. Husky is the new Craftsman in my book. Have always liked their tools.

I bought this Husky the last time it went on sale for $50 at HD, replacing the $10 Pittsburg from HF. The Husky feels much nicer and far higher quality. The Husky is very easy to dial in your torque setting, and your dialed in torque setting stays locked in place. The Pittsburg torque setting moves around a bit as you're torquing. I have a car that requires 150lbs on the lug nuts and tried it with the Pittsburg, it popped a few times at 150lbs max setting. I thought it broke but it still worked. The Husky is far easier to use at 150lbs since it's longer and has a nice rubber grip. It's a great upgrade from the Pittsburg for $50.

Not advisable unless absolutely necessary. And if you did it, I wouldn't recommend trusting it for anything you need to be super precise with.

If you're using it to torque your wheels down, I wouldn't be worried as much. If it is almost anything else, I'd treat it very carefully (always stored in case at the lowest setting) and try not to be too rough with it like using it as a breaker bar or dropping it.

I've owned the cheap $10 Harbor Freight, a $30 capri, a $40 Tekton, and a $120 split beam Tekton (all different sizes but mostly 1/2). They all work, but I always unload the spring, keep them in the case, and set them on the ground VERY gently.
