The cheap HF ones actually seem to be calibrated pretty well, the problem is that they often to fail to click (or click noticeably) at the set torque setting. Many people have this problem, but you might be lucky...for now.

On the other hand, these Huskys have a reliable and very noticeable click every time. Well worth the extra cost if you need to torque something important.

If you prefer the digital one, you can get the Quinn digital torque adapter(up to 250ftlbs), (MSRP 50, but HF has coupon frequently to bring down to ~35-40), https://www.harborfreight.com/12-...58706.html

Is the twist to lock ring made out of metal? I have an old Craftsman that had a plastic twist to lock ring and that broke...making the wrench useless.

Anyone have experience with some of these Amazon ones around the same price? Just bought this and wondering if the Husky will be better.

Quote from jeff34270 :
Those are terrible quality with very unreliable clicks making it easy to blow right past the torque setting resulting in broken bolts or stripped threads.
Nope, the quality is fine, made on the same Chinese factories but without markup for shill marketologists. I got one for $10 on sale.

Torque wrenches are typically not as accurate at the lower 20% of the scale, so get the smaller one if you're torquing mower blades.
"Torque accuracy of plus/minus 3% CW in the upper 80% of wrench capability"
You don't really need any accuracy with mower blades. Recently I torqued the head gasket bolts on my son's car with the HF 1/2" torque wrench. Turned out to be just right.

If you'd ever had these taken apart you'd know there's no way that same mechanism could 'fail to click'. Once I added too much oil there and its clicks became less noticeable. That wasn't a HF one though but it does not make any difference, they're all the same inside.

First post on SD! I always wanted a torque wrench to work on my cars with more confidence.
The 3/8in drive is $49.97, from $84.97 original cost. 41% discount.
The 1/2 drive is $59.97 from $94.97.

I own both, there is a very distinct difference in quality between them and using the Husky is significantly more confidence inspiring than the cheap HF one. Read that other thread I linked to and you'll see that I'm not alone in this opinion.

Head gasket bolts? Good luck with that. Seriously, good luck.

Project Farm tested that Lexivon and found it to frequently be out of range: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP4uECoH8cc

Might be acceptable enough for lug nuts, but something needing to be more precise and even like cylinder head bolts could be disastrous.

I've owned the regular harbor freight torque wrench. Good luck trying to get it to the higher values. I think mine goes to a max of 100 even though it says it goes up to 150. Tried several in stores when I warrantied one that didn't work correctly. All of them had the same issue of mot being able to go beyond a certain point usually around 100 ft/lbs.

it does just fine for tire lugs. Anything needing more precise measurement I go with my tekton or split beam from olsa.

I got the 250ftlb model a couple years ago just walking into the store for $50. Not sure how slick this is or if I got lucky on a sale.
$50 was the typical sale price. I waited thinking the price would stay the same 😞

Actualy I own another 1/2" torque wrench, an older one. I checked their accuracy against each other and they both click at the same torque.

Thank you, it's already done, and turned out good (proven). HF rulez! Smilie

You got lucky using 1/2" for head gaskets. I used the HF 3/8" Torque wrench and set it to 30ft/lbs. It was seized or didn't click right. I didn't even pull on it that hard but it snapped the bolt on my Honda v6 engine.

Now I'm looking for a quality 3/8" one or maybe even 1/4". Had two separate HF 3/8" ones fail on me on two separate occasions.

That's nothing. Recently a young dentist idiot with a torque wrench which 'was seized or didn't click right' almost snapped my tooth implant off the jaw! And when a couple days later a real dentist surgeon was trying to take it off he bent his wrench!.. Thank God I have strong bones... after that I don't care much about them cyl heads and other metal junk.

Possibly dumb question, can you use this as a breaker bar? Just wondering if doing so would need up the calibration

I picked this up about a year ago from a previous sale ($50). This broke a couple of days ago on my second or third use (clicker failed) . On the plus side, home depot accepted my exchange no questions asked. Will see how MK2 performs.
