Can you give us examples which episodes or products he did wrong things as you pointed out? I'm serious and curious to know, not try to offend you since I'm also following his channel. Thanks.
You're mixing different things up. The Ryobi you are talking about is an electric / battery powered impact wrench. It's used for breaking nuts and bolts loose and removing them.
This is a torque wrench. You use it to tighten nuts and bolts down to a precise amount
Let's use hanging tires as an example. You'd use an impact wrench to loosen and remove the lug nuts.
After you put the tire back in place, you put the lug nuts on the studs and tighten them down til snug. Then, you look up the torque specs for lugs on your vehicle, set the torque wrench to the appropriate setting and start tightening each nut. A digital wrench like this will sound an audible alarm telling you that you've Rea he'd the correct torque. With an analog/mechanical wrench, you'll feel a click.
I left out that the purpose is to make sure that you don't over or under tighten the nuts/bolts. Both cases can lead to bad results. Too lose, the nuts may come lose over time. Too tight and you can snap a bolt.
Another purpose is to ensure that bolts are tighten uniformly. Take an oil pan with a gasket for example. There might be 12 bolts securing it to the engine block. If there's a decent amount of variation in how tight the bolts are, it can lead to leaks.
Gearwrench is pretty good quality, but it is owned by Apex Tool Group, not Snap-on
I am trying to see how it is different from the one that claims to be Ft/lbs.
Also...does anybody else think a limit of 100 Ft/lbs....if it can even do them...is a little on the low side?
There's a selector button that allows you to set for ft lbs, inch lbs, Nm, etc.
As to the 100ft/lb limit, I'm sure there are other 3/8th wrenches out there that go a bit higher. But your probably better off getting 1/2inch one for the higher ranges

Dannnng just found this deal
It's back to 102 now.
Is his testing perfect? No, but he does improves testing all the time as he receives community feedback.
I do want to point out that some of his testing has been validated by other independent sources like "Torque Test Channel" and other independent sources multiple times.
