So is this better than a standard torque wrench?I have a good socket and wrench set, and this seems like a great addition.

I only use this adapter to check the calibration of my click and beam torque wrenches. A little clumsy to use as a torque wrench itself especially in tight or unusual positions. Checked calibration at a local machine shop against professionally calibrated equipment and found it to be within specs.

It works great for lug nuts, or anywhere you have room to move. I can't torque the nut on my oil pan with it. I use a standard torque wrench for that.

Well, one thing for sure, it provides you the actual torque value you have reached. You might not like what you seen in the readout but it is what it is. It is still hard for me to accept the fact standard torque wrench can actually over-torqued the nut. Maybe it is because the sudden jerking movement did it.

I like this adapter, but the numbers are upside down depending on if you plan on using it while under a vehicle or over it. It is very well made and comes in a nice case. You will not be dissatisfied except the darn numbers being upside down at times.

This is an impact driver that accepts standard 1/4" bits. It is not an impact wrench for sockets. You can use a 1/4" socket adapter to attach a socket for light duty work. It is designed for driving screws and is geared for that purpose. For heavier duty socket use you need the P260 Impact Wrench

I'm not sure how you would use these with a torque wrench. The 1/4" hex end goes in a driver (drill or ratcheting hand driver) and then the square end takes a socket. These aren't extensions that you would put in a ratchet or torque wrench.

First off I have a whole lot of bit and nut drivers; two to six of each of about everything out there. I went a bit nuts experimenting with them for a while. I am a pro mechanic and use a lot of metric allen and sockets and torx. Ha, ha I never have to change bits now : ) My point is I have bought several sets and this one is the latest and I think it is a great set :Titan - TIT16112 13 Piece Metric Hex Bit SetIf that link doesn't work search with this : Titan TIT16112 13 Piece Metric Hex Bit SetThe bits are easier to get out and the base is magnetized to keep the holder upright in the tool box and the bits in the holder.

I have never had much luck with the "tools" supplied by any manufacturer of any product. I always expect to use real tools and this product was no exception. I had no trouble tightening the nuts and bolts with a 6mm allen wrench and an adjustable crescent wrench. I might have used a socket set as well, it's been a while since assembly.

Just socket set and a hollow pole for leavrage on the socket wrench to loosen manufacture bolts and tighten New bolts . I noticed using the socket wrench a lone does not tighten it enough and it will rattle..and it will save your knuckles. Easy install on my jeep ...I did it myself but a friend holding one end while tightening would have been a big help...enjoy if you buy them . 1 year still have people ask me were I got them .

Torque wrench...I suggest just buying another and having both laying around. If you decided to change it yourself, put it on the truck, then use the torque wrench to get the bolt off...truck is pretty sturdy and won't go anywhere...unless you have a shop with a good vice. Also...put a towel over anything like a chrome bumper so you don't ding it if the wrench goes flying... Make sure to get some locktight when you put the new ball on. Walmart has em cheap.

Hi I don't know what the torque is but it's very powerful just like my husbands drill. I was so sick of people stealing my tools on the job so I got all pink even an extension cord. I love that drill!! Now no one wants to steal my tools on job sites. LOL

yeah, good for torque 34mm better for all round power. May have to rejet it as well.

Probably not the standard. Plus the length of the driver is not conducive to the physics of a fulcrum needed to break the torque of a lug. Let alone tighten one up to the safe point. I'd stick with a proper lug wrench.

I occasionally check it against my "glass torque wrench", one that I keep calibrated and only use to test. I found this to be absolutely accurate and consistent. I did what you wrote, bought a 1/2 and use a 3/8 adapter when necessary. Of course use a quality, short adapter to maintain accuracy.

depends on what you want to use it for. if you want to take the lug nuts off your car, you should get the 1/2 inch drive socket set.

The 1/2 inch driver has more torque and power but I do have a 1/4 to 1/2 inch adapter for my 1/2 inch sockets and this tool runs them ok. I wouldn't recommend this tool for heavy automotive use (it prob won't break a rusted bolt free) but for lighter duty and everyday driving of screws, carriage bolts, timber locks, ledger bolts etc. this is the right tool. I've used mine pretty much daily for the past four years.

Which is better a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, or a socket wrench? Doesn't depend upon what you want to do?

I just used it yesterday seems to work well. It's a little strange to get used to after all these years though after using a standard torque wrench

Yae! I want to see you use a 5/16" allen wrench in your 3/8" socket head bolt! What a pin hear

Though I'm not sure about the actual torque produced I know it took a very large nut off the my lawn mowers engine which was impossible to get with a standard wrench. I also haven't encountered anything on my Excursion that it won't take care of.
