Last week I torqued a bolt head off cause the torque never clicked. I tested the wrench after and it was faulty. Warrantied it no problem, but I'll never trust it for anything with low specs.

I have all three sizes. As others have said, I wouldn't trust them with anything fragile, but the 1/2 works decent enough for torqueing larger stuff like lug nuts, and I use the 3/8 for my oil drain plug. The thing I dislike most about these, and what might be a possible reason so many of them get returned, is that the click on the 1/4 and 3/8 sizes can be very subtle. It's not a nice crisp click. You'll feel it click more than hear it. I actually returned one because of that. It wasn't clicking so I thought it was defective, but that just seems to be the way they are, because the replacement I got did the same thing.

In most cases, hand tight is fine, but your mechanic sucks if he thinks that is always acceptable. There have been some head designs that are known to shoot plugs out stripping the threads with it if not torqued correctly. A mechanic that isn't aware of that and not using correct torque specs is negligent.

Am I nuts or can no one else see the coupon clip for the 1/4 and 1/2 inch sizes? Are those 2 in store only or something?

Coupon works online. Just need to manually add code at checkout.

Have had a set of these for quite some time. If you don't have a torque wrench, you really should buy at least one, if not the whole set. Indispensable.

yeah, there is a lifetime warranty and you can easily swap at any HF but save your money and buy a Tekton. Much better. You get what you pay for.

I have the HF 1/4" one and my 1/2" is a Tekton. Big difference. I figured the 1/4" is good for inch lbs and should stay accurate. I definitely would not trust a 1/2" HF wrench.

HF does a good job at what they do, but a Pittsburgh torque wrench ain't known for it's precision as the vast majority of SDers know, however, at that price, it does have its place. Repped, OP.

Thanks! Was about to head there but I see a Tekton for $38 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...0DER&psc=1

Torque is usually a good thing to get fairly accurate. I'm all for HF but I would skip this and at least get the Icon line or Dewalt like Project farm suggests:

How reliable are these torque wrenches from H.F.? I've seen some dumpster diving videos and there are always a bunch of these in the dumpster.

It's really difficult to overtorque plugs unless you're a caveman yanking the sh@t out of it. People stressing over exact ft lbs ... What if their wrench reads low and they're going under? That would be more of a concern.

Whenever I buy a used car the plugs are on the checklist to inspect and the last Toyota I bought had plugs that were backed out a few full turns. That could have been catastrophic.

My mechanic says make it hand tight and don't yank on it. He's been doing it that way for 30yrs and never had an issue. That's a much larger sample size than any at home mechanic...
