Does it measure torque for both directions of rotation?

Since there have been conflicting answers, I'll link to the owner's manual: http://www.tektontools.com/PRODUCT_MANUALS/MANUALS_2000/24320_manual.pdf. It states clearly that the torque measurement only works in one direction.

Mt Tekton wrench was broken when it arrived, but my other ratcheting "clicker" - a Craftsman - does both RH and LH thread. The Tekton should work the same.

No, so for reverse-threaded applications or for torquing the internal-wrenching (hex) side of your right bicycle pedal, it will not work

No. It works by sensing the rotating disc in the meter counting each revolution. Doesn't matter which way it rotates.

Will still work but accuracy will be compromised as calibration was set at it's lowest setting to it's highest . If you go down below to the point where you don't feel spring resistance while turning back the handle, the torque wrench will not sense torque, conversely the higher you set the torque handle, the more pressure you put on the spring thus increasing torque value.

Yes but it needs to be set (programmed) to do one or the other; not both. They're cheap enough; use 2, one for each direction.

Depends. If you are using it for a heating element, it does not matter. If a DC Motor, it could determing which way the motor turns.

Yeah the markings make no sense because there is no point of reference. If you hold it in one hand and slowly push the drive in with your other hand you will see the direction it moves whether slightly clockwise or CCW. If you want it to torque the other way, just turn push in and rotate to the other setting.

No. The wrench measures torque only in the clockwise direction. It will turn a nut in the counterclockwise direction, but it does not measure torque in that direction. This is based on my own testing. I torqued a lug nut to 95 ft-lb (clockwise), then set the wrench to 25 ft-lb (the lowest setting), reversed the ratchet, and turned the lug nut in the counterclockwise direction. If the wrench were measuring torque in the counterclockwise direction, it should have clicked with very little force on the wrench, and long before the lug nut began to turn. The lug nut turned, requiring considerable force, and the wrench never clicked. No. The wrench measures torque only in the clockwise direction.

Yes it does both torque and angle and has five different memory positions, you would just change angle number on last pass

Not at home right now, but I thought it showed the full 360 degree rotation. Good piece of gear. I've been using it for my tubing bender and have been very happy with it.

Yes it does, and once calibrated it is quite accurate. I would advise getting a calibration weight if you don't have one.

It can tighten left-hand (reverse) threads, however the torque setting does NOT function in that direction. It will never "click" to tell you you've reached the correct torque value. The higher-priced Neiko professional grade wrench torques in both directions.

I don't know. It works fine with Torque, but I never upgraded to Torque Pro.

Not sure what you mean by does it "do" inch-lbs. of torque. Inch-lbs. is purely a unit of measurement. Inch-lbs. also calculate to ft./lbs. According to the website it has a maximum output of 1740 in-lbs. of torque. But this is not a torque wrench, and it is not variable so you cannot "set" it to a specific torque setting. You will get nearly maximum torque with each application. Not sure if that helps or not.

Yes. It "clicks" 360 degrees. It is also on a pivot, so it can be pretty much be oriented to any angle. Works well.

no, it only goes one direction. I have one and really is a pleasure to use.

I don't think it would be as accurate as you require. 1/2" torque cube ranges from 4 to 147.6 ft*lb.Good luck.

It will measure your horizontal speed, yes it will tell you your maximum speed
