Calibrated to an accuracy of +/ 4% in the clockwise direction and +/ 6% in the counterclockwise direction, the TEKTON 1/4 in. Drive Click Torque Wrench lets you work with confidence, eliminating guessing and the common tendency to overtighten fasteners. Correctly tightening fasteners to a manufacturer’s torque specifications ensures parts are properly secured without being damaged. Simple and easy to use, this wrench measures torque in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. To measure torque, turn the springloaded adjustment collar to the desired setting (inch pounds or Newton meters) and release to lock in place. Tighten the fastener in a slow and controlled motion. When the preset torque value is reached, a reliable mechanical operation inside the handle produces a click you can hear and feel, alerting you to stop applying force. Built for consistent performance and years of dependable service, the mechanical design doesn’t need batteries, and the steel and aluminum construction has no internal plastic parts to wear out.
IMPORTANT: This wrench is shipped precalibrated and ready to use. To help maintain calibration, store at its lowest setting of 10 in.lb./1.1 Nm when not in use. Be sure to read and understand the operator’s manual, including all safety information, before first use.

Accurate, easy to use
Super accurate, easy to adjust and use. Performed great when torquing both valve cover and transmission pan this past weekend. Click is very clear when reaching the set torque . Comes in a nice small carrying case. Overall seems pretty durable and is great value for money spent.Highly recommended

Works great, consistent clicks
I bought this for oil pan and transmission pan gasket jobs, which require both the right torque and consistent torque between bolts. The other concern is that since the steel bolts are going into aluminum threads, you must not over tighten or you’ll strip the threads. This inch pound torque wrench did great. At each bolt I could both hear and feel the click clearly, and at each bolt it felt like it was clicking at the same pressure.Setting the torque is easy, and there is a positive engagement at each foot pound setting. The settings are easy to read.The wrench feels solid and it comes in a nice zippered hard case that keeps it protected in my tool drawer.

This is the one to buy. Don’t buy model 24320 b/c it’s $5 cheaper.
I have 3/8″ and 1/2″ drive TEKTON torque wrenches that have served me well. So when I needed a 1/4″ drive, I naturally bought a TEKTON torque wrench (model 24320). Unfortunately, I had to return them twice as both of them didn’t work property out of the box.After further research, I realized that TEKTON makes 2 1/4″ drive torque wrenches. Given my prior experiences with model 24320, I was a bit apprehensive about ordering this model but I was still in need of a 1/4″ drive torque wrench. I decided to give TEKTON another try since I have had good experiences with 3/8″ and 1/2″ TEKTON torque wrenches.This model worked perfectly out of the box. So apparently, this is the model to buy and not model 24320. The “click” is subtle yet precise. This is what I would expect from TEKTON.So why “only” 4 stars? It’s a personal preference, but I prefer the screw type locking mechanism over the style that this model has. This style works well and it’s easy to operate, but I am just used to and prefer the screw style.I should also mention that Amazon’s return policy and fast shipping are great. It was easy to return the broken torque wrenches and everything was shipped and delivered in 2 days.

Great little tool!
Instruction are clear and easy to understand -This is JUST a torque wrench – does not come with any attachments – -In my opinion, it’s best for use with bolts up to about 1/2″ – if possible, get the bolt or equipment manufacture’s specs on max torque. My purchase was for M8 (3/8″) bolts at 12NmOne CAN order a wide variety of accessories (personal experience), and, as it’s a standard 1/4 inch drive, most users will likely already have most everything that will be neededOnce the tension is set, ( up to 150 inch/pounds [in-lb] or 16.9 Newtons/Meter [Nm] – ) there is no need to “read” anything – When the set torque is reached, there is a slight “bump” that is felt through the handle. (if your hearing is better than mine, you may hear a “click”) The instructions suggest – wisely – to practice a bit to “get the feel” of proper operation.Personally, as I am getting old and my eyesight is getting bad, I prefer this method – – Because I don’t have to struggle to read a scale or a display to know when I’ve reached the desired torque. (Being a bit of a gorilla, I have a tendency to snap bolts off – especially small bolts (1/2″ is “small” to me) – so this tool is a great damage saver)Setting the desired torque is also very simple. Although some folks who are not familiar with the technique may have a short learning curve, it’s just a matter of turning a knob until marks line up. The instructions have very clear pictures.The settings are in both ASE and Metric, so it is not necessary to mess around with conversion tables or calculators – although a conversion table IS included with the instructions.One precaution though. This is an all meta tool – if using on electrical equipment (which is my usage) it would be wise to wrap electrical tape around any accessory that may be at risk – and keep it in good shape. Shock hazard aside, a short circuit can cause extreme heat and serious burns.This precision instrument comes, as it should, in a nice hard fabric storage case with a tight zipper – the instructions fold nicely in the case – the tool is held in place in a pocket on one end, a Velcro strap on the handle. This case comes in a plastic bag and in a nice sturdy cardboard box – I store this combination in my home – not the garage or tool box – as befits a fine scientific instrument.One last thought – described in the instructions – my grandfather, a custom jeweler and watch maker, taught me that springs – and this device depends on a spring – springs have “memory” – that is, if left wound up, they loose their temper (as if they got angry and being cooped up too long) and ‘forget’ what they are supposed to do. SOOOoooo, always change the setting to the lowest point when puting this tool aside – especially when putting it into storage. Otherwise, it will loose accuracy over time.

Well made and seems to be accurate.
Comes in a nice little zipper case but would like a plastic case instead. Seems like a quality tool.

à um produto excelente para apertar parafusos e porcas sem correr o risco de apertar de menos e ficar frouxo ou apertar demais e espanar a rosca ou o parafuso/porca. A escala de 1.1 a 16.9Nm permite que se use este torquÃmetro em ajustes delicados. A única coisa chata é a calibração no sistema imperial (libras, polegadas etc) em vez do SI (Newton, metro etc) o que exige atenção na hora em que for ajustar o torquÃmetro por isso é MANDATÃRIO LER O MANUAL tanto na operação quanto na hora em que for guardá-lo. Recomendo comprar um adaptador de 1/4 quadrado para 1/4 sextavado ou estriado caso queira usar bits de parafusadeira.

This is a well made tool at a very reasonable price. I needed a small torque wrench for my planer blade and router bit fasteners and it’s perfect for small areas. Tekton makes great tools. This wrench measures in inch pounds not foot pounds which may explain other negative reviews. The case, packaging and manual are well thought out.

Excelente llave, la compré por que necesito darle el apriete correcto a los tornillos del cárter de mi auto de acuerdo al manual del fabricante; es por eso que adquirà esta llave y por la marca me incliné mucho más.
