Can I use this with a breaker bar stuffed inside a 6 foot pipe for leverage?

Ofcourse you can, as long as you don't need to exceed 147.6 ft-lbs.

From what I understand, these low cost torque adapters are very inaccurate. Torqueing a fastener is critical. Look at the independent tests on torque wrenches and you will see that these low cost devices are worthless. Save yourself the $55.00 because you could probably hand tighten with the same accuracy.

As for MSRP versus prices on sale are a gimmick. Sometimes I am surprised that people really believe these deals. If these devices coming out of Asia had an MSRP of $5000 with a sale price of $50.00, would everyone jump on it? The actual manufacturing costs on this is probably less than $10.

Lightly used Snap-On, Proto, MATCO, or MAC Torque Wrench. They're all over eBay.

Buy it right, buy it once.

There is currently 1 (one) Snap On digital torque wrench on ebay and it looks more than slightly used and is $45 including shipping...and it's 3/8" drive and has a smaller working range than this item. Do any of those higher end brands make a digital adapter like this?

No Mac, no Matco and certainly not "all over" e-bay. I have a quality torque wrench set 1/2" and 3/4" but looked at this as a cool gadget to experiment with and imagine many people are thinking the same (a la "Project Farm").

While I completely agree about buying it once and buying it right, but this is cheap enough to even just use it as a tester to ensure one's good (aka expensive) tool is working as expected and calibrated correctly and for someone who doesn't have much use for one it's cheaper than even a Husky or something you could get at Home Depot.

My Uncle Bud is a mechanic. He's been a mechanic since he was 15. He currently works as a used car mechanic at a very busy/popular dealership in Philadelphia. He brags about having never once used a torque wrench in his entire career. His career spans more than 40 years.

I bought this vey adapter and when he saw it in my tool box he called me a big pu_ _ y.

It's a nice torque adapter. I paid a bit more for it and have no regrets.

These things are great. I bought the Quinn one at Harbor Freight when it went on sale for $20 last year and it's very accurate.

AC Delco? Batteries and auto parts might be quality, but I've run across misc Delco branded items that were garbage.
