    I honestly did read a lot of good reviews when googled. I searched good torque wrenches and this one kept coming up for my needs,

    I was just worried since there was zero packaging between the Amazon box and the red case.

    A little steep, going to have to pass.

    I've bought 3 different CDI torque wrenches from Amazon in the past. They were in a case, but the case wasn't padded in the box Amazon shipped them in. They've worked fine over the years and I've never sent them in to be calibrated, so I'm sure your torque wrench is probably alright.

    My main concern is lug nuts. It can’t be off that far I hope.

    Battery impact gun is the best tool for that !!

    I've used the same harbor freight torque wrench for years after throwing it and it bouncing around in my car. Its within 2ft-lbs of my brand new husky that stays in my tool box.

    Maybe I wouldnt trust it for head bolts and engine bearings torques. But wheels and other stuff its fine

    I've got the 3/8 and 1/2 and they're pretty slick. They cover Nm and lb/ft, and there is a angle setting for torque-to-yield bolts. It watches the angle of rotation and then tells you what final torque you ended at.

    Yes it buzzes and beeps and has a little led light that flashes when the torque is reached. Sometimes the "click" can be missed when you're in a loud shop and trying to move fast

    Complete overkill for weekend warriors but worth every penny in a retail shop

    I used a Milwaukee Fuel Impact to put on my new wheels, worried it was too strong.


    What is Nm? I think u misspelled m&m

    Yea it's got a M&M dispenser built into the handle

    :bananadance:

    Nm is Newton meters, another form of measuring torque
