Neiko PRO 03710B 3/4-Inch-Drive Adjustable SAE Torque Wrench with Torque Click Settings of 100–700 Foot-Pound, Made with CrV Steel, 48-Inch Length

My larger torque wrench is an expensive, but very well made Snap-on. As much as I love it, I didn't want to spend that much for a smaller 3/8 drive torque wrench. I tried one form Harbor Freight and it was just awful. I took it back...I was hesitant to use Amazon for purchasing a torque wrench for fear I also wouldn't like it. I decided to read the reviews and take my chances on what looks like the best quality for the money. The reviews for this wrench were very favorable, so I decided to take a chance on the Neiko Professional Grade model.I have to say that I am simply thrilled with this purchase! I tend to be pretty picky, especially when it comes to my tools. This is not the cheapest torque wrench by any means. But it certainly is a best buy in my mind. Here is what I like:Nice quality case came with the tool. It can torque both right and left hand directions. The handle adjustment seems very precise, easy to read and it feels like it works as intended. I like the handle. It feels like a very precise click. It clicks loud enough to hear and feel. The tool feels well made.I really don't have any negatives to report. The quality is really fantastic, but not the same as my Snap-On torque wrench. But it really feels good and is less than half the cost (almost a third) of the Snap-On tool. I am really pleased with the quality and I think it represents a very good value.

Lost my last one, got this one quickly and it works very well for light duty fasteners.I'll have a hard time upgrading to something better for my application, especially for the price.

It works well. Well made and handles well.

Tool is sturdy and looks to be well made, including reading "0" at rest. Scale/pointer is easy to read (of course with my reading glasses on), and I like that it reads in both metric (N-m) and English (in-pounds. First used it to torque my bicycle headset bearing preload tightening bolt to 20 in-lb (which seemed to take all the play out of the bearing, even though 27 to 35 in-lb recommended. Cannot attest to absolute calibration, but for such a simple tool no reason to think that it would be off--with only a well know beam-bending equation, steel young's modulus and beam length and diameter geometry involved.

I have 4 other torque wrenches but not one that went as high as this for a specific application I had. Was kind of excessive for what might be a single use, but renting one was gong to be the same price. The fit and finish seemed very good, operating it was very good and had a good feel. Case was good. Good value for the product. No complaints. I did not have it independently calibrated but can’t imaging at 250 ft/lbs that it could be that far off.

This is the second time I've bought NEIKO tools and the second time I've been satisfied with the quality. When companies compromise quality, it's usually because someone didn't go the extra ten feet to save a penny, not the "extra mile." A lot of off-brands cut corners that don't even make sense to cut. NEIKO doesn't do this.It's very hard to find a quality in-lb torque driver, and this results in a lot of copy-cat products within the market segment. This is a good alternative to the screwdriver types made by an assortment of companies with an undoubtedly wide and unpredictable range of quality standards.

I was in need of a torque wrench that would go to at least 150 lbs. I looked at Sears locally but they only had gimmicky electronic ones that were very expensive. After looking through Amazon I found the Neiko 1/2" drive 50-250 lbs wrench. I was very nervous in clicking the buy button as I was scared of getting a piece of Chinese junk. When I got the wrench I was VERY happy when I opened it. This thing is a precision piece of equipment!! It is made in Taiwan (I wish they'd tell you where things were made when shopping on-line). The workmanship is great. I've owned a lot of woodworking machines over the years and the stuff coming from Taiwan has gotten better and better. This is a perfect example of pride in workmanship. The wrench works great, adjusts easily, has a very nice locking mechanism to lock the adjustment so it doesn't change while in use. The thing is very long - 24" which I thought was the same as the short one I saw at Sears (didn't measure it) but that must be a 18" wrench because this thing seems very long. The length helped to make the 150lbs torque on my lug nuts easy. It also has a rubber handle that feels great in my hand. All in all this is THE WRENCH. I'm thinking of getting a smaller one for those under 50 lbs of torque applications and I'm looking no where else but at Neiko. I'll have this wrench the rest of my life and am VERY happy with this purchase. It's the best value out of just about anything I've purchased in the past year. Thanks Neiko, well done!!
