For those who want to use this for bikes, the torque click only works clockwise, not counter-clockwise (unlike the park tool which is bi-directional, but 2x-3x the cost).

If you're referring to how it's better than a Pittsburgh, I had one that fell apart after a few uses. It also wasn't particularly comfortable to hold and use. Overall felt cheap. The "click" was not very strong.

The Tekton is the opposite. Feels comfortable and stout. Easy to adjust and clicks nicely and obviously. Not to mention reasonably priced.

I've used it several dozen times over probably 8 years. Not a ton of use, but enough to know it's a good product. HTH

I have the 1/2 inch drive, great wrench. It's a big improvement over a Pittsburgh from Harbor Freight.

1/2" is already up to $44

I asked three camel oracles if these torque wrenches would drop in price to $38 again. The three camels used their deep knowledge of history to predict that these wrenches will very likely be $38 again.

A lot of bad video reviews. Seems like bad quality control. They break easily for some people

Nice catch. The tekton twin-beam style wrench I have does have the pop-out/reversible 1/2" nubbin to do CW/CCW.
Again, double+ the cost though.

edit: Shouldn't have to mention, but torque wrenches aren't breaker bars...they're instruments.
All of them are actually very fragile and can end up wildly uncalibrated or break if used to remove fasteners.

I'm planning on replacing the spark plug in my 2013 Camry sometime soon...would this be the right size to use to tie those spark plugs?

Torque on Camry spark plugs is 15-16lb the problem is torque wrenches at their low end are not very accurate. Either look into a 1/4" torque wrench or be careful to not keep pushing if it doesn't click after the snug + 1/4 turn typically for tightening plugs without a torque wrench.

I have both of these exact wrenches purchased in 2016 and 2017 with usage that averages 30 days a year and both are still going strong. The 1/2" is used for lug nuts so it's not babied.

Tekton is a good brand. I have been using the 1/2" version without issue for DIY car repairs. However, for the 3/8" version, I prefer to use LEXIVON (and currently, I am using it).

https://www.amazon.com/LEXIVON-2-...07MP1Q3W8/

Because of its size, it is the most compact 3/8" wrench I could find. Usually, if space isn't an issue, I use the 1/2" version. However, when dealing with tight spaces, I opt for the 3/8". Therefore, having a compact 3/8" wrench is my top priority.

In my experience, Tekton has a great warranty on their hand tools too. I had a screwdriver break so I emailed them and sent me a replacement sight unseen.
