Making this product a cinch to use, its adjustment knob, which easily turns to change how much torque it applies, is clearly labeled in both foot-pounds and Newton meters, plus it has a knurled handle so you don't slip, even if your hands are greasy or dirty.
The next torque wrench on this list is burlier and more expensive than the EPAuto model listed above, but it's still very reasonably priced and even more versatile.
Like many other torque wrenches, its adjustment barrel features a knurled handle for a nonslip ergonomic grip and its numbers are clearly marked -- a high-contrast yellow over black. This is a pretty stylish click torque wrench! But looks are irrelevant; functionality is what counts, and this mechanical torque wrench unit offers plenty.
It operates from 25 lb-ft up to a whopping lb-ft of torque range. This gives you a huge torque setting range to work with, making it great for heavy-duty applications from engine and front-end service to tightening the lug nuts on a commercial truck.
But the icing on the cake is this product's 4. Quality costs money. If you want the best, be prepared to spend more. Sure, it's expensive, but that's money well spent if your livelihood depends on a torque tool like this or if precision is paramount. Having personally used Gearwrench products myself, it makes great stuff, so you shouldn't be disappointed. But are digital torque wrenches better?
The short answer is yes and no. They're easier to use and arguably more accurate, but tend to cost more. Setting this product apart from the other torque wrenches highlighted here, it is electronic. Rather than a clicking mechanism or a bar that bends as you apply force, it features circuits and sensors. You easily set the desired torque level using a series of buttons and the handle vibrates, a buzzer sounds and an LED shines when you reach that target torque amount, so there's no excuse for over-tightening any fasteners.
For extra flexibility, it can be set in lb-ft, Nm, kgf-m and kg-cm. Keeping this precision instrument safe and secure, it comes with a plastic carrying case. This Gearwrench torque wrench's 4.
If value is important and simplicity a top priority, consider this Tooluxe beam torque wrench gotta love a punny name. This type of torque wrench is less convenient to use than either the click torque wrench or digital counterparts, but they are cheaper and dead simple.
With no settings or mechanisms to deal with, you simply tighten fasteners in a clockwise direction while observing the indicator. When it points at the desired torque setting, you're all set. This beam wrench is 18 inches long and operates from a torque value of zero to lb-ft. Made of steel for long-haul durability, it's treated to a bright chrome finish that will look good in anyone's toolbox. For less than 25 bucks, you can't go wrong here. This clicking-type torque wrench can accurately tighten fasteners anywhere from 10 lb-ft to lb-ft of torque value.
It's made of durable steel, comes with a storage case, has easy-to-read scales and features a reversible ratchet head that drives in both directions, handy if you ever need to tighten something with a left-hand thread. Consider it cheap car insurance. They have more power than the lower-voltage types described so far, though the length of an extension cord will reduce the amperage getting to the tool.
These are probably most useful for stationary use at a workbench. They can occasionally be plugged into an outlet beyond the reach of an air hose, but the cordless type would be handier there.
Dragging the cord around to all four corners of the car is a disadvantage this type shares with the pneumatic type. Electric cords tend to tangle and snag more easily on jacks and jack stands than do pneumatic hoses. Professionals use pneumatic impact wrenches because they are more powerful and faster. These are generally more durable, as they are made for daily commercial use. The homeowner who already has a small compressor in his garage might want to consider one of the less expensive pneumatic impact wrenches.
They get the job done quickly. This might be just the ticket if you need to switch between off-road and street tires every weekend.
