Great deal on HFT's updated torque adapter (with 25% coupon). Unlike the previous version, this new version has 3 beeping led lights and an audible sound progression to let you know when you've hit the target torque. Plenty of videos out there on YouTube, as well -- these things tend to be quite accurate. Claimed accuracy of +/- 2%.
  • Convert any 3/8 in. drive ratchet or breaker bar into a precision torque wrench with this digital display torque adapter. Three LED indicator lights and a progressive audio notification alert the user when desired torque value is reached.
  • High quality display for easy measurement readings
  • Memory function records last 50 torque readings
  • Easy-to-read digital display provides measurements in: ft. lbs., N-m, kg-m
  • Accurate within +/- 2% clockwise and counterclockwise
  • Torque range: 5.9 to 59 ft. lbs.

Wish granted. According to the manual, the 3/8th drive version posted here does kilogram/meter & centimeter, foot pounds and inch pounds, and Newton meters.

You are right! I just saw that in the online user manual.

Good call on the In Lbs - I bought one, but haven't even opened the package, yet.

For those interested, here's the link to the user manual: https://manuals.harborfreight.com...444875.pdf

Also, you'll note it states the following in the pdf user manual:

6. The Adapter contains three unit selections: Kg-m, ft-lb and N-m for 58707;
Kg-cm, Kg-m, ft-lb, in-lb, N-m for 58705 & 58706

The torque adapter in OP is, of course, the 58705 (3/8"), so this model and the 58706 (1/2") model both do inch lbs.

Limited range for inch pounds: 5.9 ft lb x 12 in/ft = 70.8 in lb

One thing that really sucks about these is that at least in my unit, every time I click it into place into a tool like a breaker bar, the knock of the click will disengage the battery so then you have to turn it on again after attaching it. It's super annoying but I only need it in a few places so I just deal with it.

I've never had that happen with mine.

If they're the same model, buy a new one. Return the old one with the new receipt. Never happened with mine either.

I snapped a bolt with my 3/8" HF Pittsburgh torque wrench. I think I was looking for 20ft lbs or less and I didn't feel the "click".

Ended up getting this digital adapter for ft-lbs that are too much for the 1/4" torque wrench, but too insensitive for the 3/8" torque wrench. Going to rebuild the engine, so I need some precision and no damage to the block.
