Cold hands, awkward controls

I was able to do everything that I expected to do with this tool. My only objections are with the ergonomics. Working in cold weather, the metal handle is COLD! (I wrapped it with tape.) Also, it is awkward to change the torque settings and to reverse the settings. I do like the fact that it has five settings. I can use these to gradually tighten wheel lugs up to the point where I use a torque wrench. If something happened to this one, the only reason I would pick something else would be to correct these minor annoyances.

Good for general use

Excellent for general Automotive use. Dont expect to break loose thoose larger stubborn bolts. Will remove most wheel studs. For 1/2 its very good. I would have given it all 5 but it will stall on larger tire nuts, need 3/4" in alot of cases.
