“Accurate torque ratings - good for home users”
I picked up this torque wrench some time back (older model) and have found it to be very useful when working on both my car and my motorcycles. Torque ratings are accurate and it's quite simple to use (not as touchy or fancy as the internal-set click models).
I'd recommend this wrench to anyone who's...

I purchased the 3/8" bean torque wrench about 6 months ago. For the price this tool is really good. The dial is very hard to read depending on where its used. If I had to buy again and I don't want to be cheap I will invest in digital torque. If you have limited budget then this wrench will do the...

Craftsman Torque Wrench Reviews
While lacking "bells and whistles," the wrench is sturdy and well made. Numbers could be a bit clearer or larger for aging eyes. In a comparison with a wrench that cost more than double the price, the accuracy here was pretty good (with some literal "wiggle room" based on how you use this versus the kind that stops at a preselected setting. Good value, you don't even need to wait for a sale on this one. I've used this exclusively on motorcycle related projects.
This unit is good for the cost. I wish that it would stay on the bolt and turn more evenly without twisting. I use this on my motorcycle, but not on critical safety items.
Best tool I've ever owned!
I LIKE THE OLD SCHOOL TORQUE WRENCH WHICH ALWAYS READS TRUE. THE NEWER CLICK AND DIGITAL MODELS MAY BE OFF CALIBRATION AND YOU NEVER KNOW IT. DOES A NICE JOB FOR ME
Given the inexpensive price, this is a great quality torque wrench for the casual user. Every home mechanic should have one, and if you'll only use it a handful of times, this one certainly fills the requirement.
Wrench required very slight recalibration upon arrival, but other than that it works exactly as expected for basic jobs.
Before purchasing, verify that the torque capacity of this wrench will meet most, if not all, of your needs first..!
I couldn't find a torque wrench anywhere that measured below 10 foot pounds until I found this one. Craftsman quality for less than $30 and it couldn't be simpler to use.
This is a very handy tool when doing major auto engine repair, and for such a low price you ensure you dont over torque bolts past factory specs. It's an old school design yet still relevant and functional. This Craftsman torque wrench has never failed me.
Very accurate tool. Great quallty. Easy to use. I will enjoy useing this tool.
