I use this 1/4" more than my Snap-On 3/8" and 1/2" ones. I didn't want to spend a huge amount on money on the 1/4" I needed with Snap-On or Matco. It does the job and is accurate. Is it as accurate as the Snap-On ones? Can't say but have had no issues with it so far and have owned it since 2022. Time will tell on its longevity. Note I do not use it everyday but at least 2-3 times a month.

Excellent construction, reliable tool, reputable company. Feels well made, no slop or play in the mechanism. Perfect length. Great value for the price.You won't find many negative reviews of Tekton products. This tool is no exception. I used this exact size and style torque wrench daily for over 2 years at a previous job I had. It never let me down.So, when it came time to buy one for myself for an upcoming automotive repair job, I did not hesitate to buy a Tekton torque wrench. Easy to use. Easy to read the markings on the tool.

Had a good experience with this Tekton 1/2 in drive torque wrench until today. Over the 9 years I've owned it, I only used it a handful of times. Unfortunately, while removing lug nuts from my wheels today, the 1/2 in drive broke right off.Update: if you have any issues with Tekton, you can submit info thru their website and they send a replacement part for whatever broke. I shared the issue I had with mine and they sent the replacement part the same day. It's put back together and working great again.

Bought this wrench for tightening my wheel nuts correctly. Excellent build quality from a well renowned brand. I highly recommend this wrench, way better bang for buck than other more expensive brands. Just be sure to store it at the lowest setting when storing and it will last a really long time.

Momensleutel klikt soms niet of maar pas als de bouten al vaster zitten dan het gewenste aanhaalmoment (NM). Niet aan te bevelen.

I bought mine in 2014. I have used it for multiple automotive tasks. It was accurate enough for cylinder heads and I use it very regularly on my vehicles' wheels, when I do their tire rotations. It's easy to use, the click is very clear and it's durable.

This Tekton torque wrench is a great tool for both DIYers and pros. Great quality, very reasonable price.

Usual tekton quality built tool, great size for most of the usual torque jobs in automotive. Easy to read and smooth operation, would definitely recommend it.

After more than 3 decades my USA made Utica 1/2" finally died. Now a discontinued model (Utica brand now owned by Apex tools), there were no spare parts available. The search for a replacement started. Looked at Snap-On, Precision, GearWrench, Utica and the like but all were in the hundreds of $'s.Being a home DIY'r needed something accurate and reliable but affordable This wouldn't be put to overuse since its only used mainly to service the family's vehicles (cars, motorcycles, recreational vehicles) and lawn equipment.Looking at Amazon's verified positive reviews for the Tektom brand, decided to give it a try as CND$ pricing remains extremely attractive. Arrived in two weeks and Immediately put it to a calibration test. Attached a 15mm socket while tightening against my US made S-K beam-type wrench (tape marked at 10, 40 and 80 ft/lb). It hit all levels exactly.Pros:- superior value for the very attractive price- Steel handle with clearly marked graduations- chrome body- laser marking which makes reading scale values that much faster- decently made RED plastic storage case- solid, loud "click" sound (even better than my previous Utica)- reversibleCons:- the reversible switch was initially slightly crunchy. Became smooth after a few turns.Have always supported North American made products but this Asian built wrench was priced too well to pass up. Glad I took the leap to check it out for myself. Am using the 3/8" for engine work and this Tektom 1/2" for wheel/brake jobs. Total cost of both is roughly 50% the cost of one 1/2" GearWrench. Treat my tools with respect and only use torque wrenches to make the final tightening so if these last for one decade, I will be very pleased.BTW, did go to Canadian Tire and looked at their $99.99 1/2" Mastercraft. IMO, feels cheapy at more than double the cost. Tekton has a heftier feel, steel instead of a plastic handle and better detailed finish. And, a much better warranty too!!!Comment Comment | Permalink

I needed a torque wrench to do work on our cars. Well, to be honest, I needed to do work on our cars, and decided that I "needed" a torque wrench. Excuses to buy tools are always a good thing.I was originally just going to nip over to Sears and buy a Craftsman. However, I was horrified to discover how little faith they have in some of their products these days; Craftsman's usual lifetime hand tool warranty does *not* apply to their to torque wrenches, and is instead replaced by a **90-day** warranty. Three months? What on earth?? I guess that's what you get when you outsource to China.(Source as of May 2014: [...] )Appalled, I turned to Amazon instead. Snap-on is too rich for my blood right now, but I did consider picking up a CDI wrench (and in the long run, still might). Given how often I'm likely to use it, I figured I'd start on the low end of the price scale just to see what was available. I came across this wrench, and although it's not made in the U.S. (manufactured in Taiwan) Tekton is a U.S. company that does appear to be easily contactable in case any questions/concerns pop up. The same can't be said of a lot of the made-in-China stuff. They also appear to keep an eye out on Amazon for those with trouble, which is often a good sign.Out of the box, the wrench comes in a reasonable enough red plastic case. It's not the heaviest plastic known to mankind, but it's not the flimisest either. It seems suitable enough for the purpose, which is good enough. The wrench itself has a decent heft to it, and doesn't give the impression of being cheaply made. The ratcheting mechanism on the head seems smooth enough.One thing that caught my eye about this Tekton wrench is that they filled in the scale on the shaft in black. That sounds like a trivial thing, but that one little change makes reading and setting the wrench infinitely simpler than on other tools. I'm a huge fan of laser-etched sockets with big, clear figures instead of stamped markings (I have a Stanley set that I got for cheap that's etched); they're that much easier to read.Anyway, I tried a couple of simple jobs with the new wrench, comparing it against a CDI wrench borrowed from work. I did a spark plug change and an oil change, trying both wrenches on the same jobs. In general, the Tekton is a solid-feeling tool. The torque adjustment mechanism doesn't feel nearly as smooth as the CDI, but at a quarter of the cost, I'm more than willing to overlook that. The setting locking mechanism is also far simpler than the one Craftsman we have at work (it has some sort of eighth-turn locking collar that never stays put)The Tekton doesn't give a massively audible click when the set torque is reached, but I did find the motion at the set point was quite obvious when I hit it.I couldn't feel any discernible difference compared to the CDI wrench in terms of accuracy. I tried tightening to the two limits needed for the job (13 and 28 ft-lb) initially with one wrench and then checking it against the other (and vice-versa), and found that neither showed much of a difference. Even on the more challenging 13 ft-lb setting (click torque wrenches being notoriously less accurate at the bottom end of their scale) I found no real difference in either wrench's behaviour.Given the length of the handle, hitting 80 lb-ft might be a bit optimistic. That said, I can't think of any job I'm likely to do in the near future that would require that much oomph.Overall, I'm very happy. This appears to be a better tool than I'd expected at this price, and given the cost is probably a better tool than the price deserves. It appears to be accurate enough (with the usual caveats that apply to all non-beam torque wrenches at the bottom end of their range) when compared with a much more expensive wrench, and although I didn't need it for the pair of jobs I've done so far, the facility to switch between standard and left-handed tightening seems like a bonus compared with some wrenches in this price range that just can't do that.My only niggle is with the smoothness of the handle when turned to set the desired torque. For want of a better term, it's a little on the graunchy side. But for that, this would easily be a 5-star product. Even then, given how inexpensive this tool is, it's ever so close to getting full marks, but I like my tools to have a nice tactile feel to them, and this one aspect means I can't quite give it a top score. It works well enough, but it just feels a little off.I'd call it a 4.5 if Amazon would let me...
