FIRSTINFO H5178 Precision Certified Torque Limiting Screwdriver, 1/4 Inch Hex Quick Release Bit Holder, 0.1-1.2 Nm/1.33-10.18 In-lb with Double Scale

I needed a torque wrench for electrical work. This was easy to adjust, felt solid, and performed well. I easily tightened to 50 in-lb. I appreciate the calibration sheet. It increased my confidence that the unit is within spec. I would have liked a better case. What’s provided is fine to protect it and for occasional use. Also it’s compact. However, for regular use would be a little inconvenient.

Fantastic! High quality. Very well thought out. Easy to adjust and lock in the torque setting. For better and worse, this screwdriver is bi-directionally torque-limiting. (good for left handed screws too) Some times, it can tighten a screw, but torque-limits when trying to remove the same screw. I would greatly appreciate a right handed version with higher torque for loosening right handed screws. (Maybe about 25%-50% extra torque)

We got one of these at work for determining our needed torque on some semiconductor test sockets. This tool really rocks, and beats the pants off the digital "toy" torque screwdrivers. This tool will actually cam-over when you hit the target torque, so you cannot over-tighten. It is easily adjustable, although it can be a small pain to hold the gold adjustment ring while locking/unlocking the torque setting. It fits whatever 1/4" bit you have, so it doesn't really limit you. NOTE: For those who don't know, ALWAYS return a torque-device to its lowest setting when you are done. Don't leave it at a particular setting, or you risk the spring mechanism taking a "set."

At first I couldn’t get it to release my bit the black part that “locks it in” seems to have slid down further that it was supposed to (maybe happened when I was tightening my screws) but after looking at the product description I saw that you are supposed to push it up so I used some pliers to finesse it up and it released the bit. Now it seems to function properly. I used it on my pistol optics. Seems very solid and well built. Comes in a decent case to protect against damage.

Another Buy once/Cry once. I belong to the cheap rifle/premium optic school of thought. (Ya can't hit what ya can't see). The very price of premium optics demand a modicum of care if you bled when you paid for it. So a few extra bucks spent on a tool to guarantee a meathead like me doesn't snap/strip/cam a screw, distort or damage the optic tube of my investment means little to me. +/- 6% error vs Fix-It Sticks 10%. Plus I don't have to carry an assorted multitude of them. Range of settings, cheaper, more convenient, more accurate, highest quality. Save your Fix-Its for your WalMart bicycle.

Well built and perfect for my use. Easy to read and no mechanical issues.

Very nicely designed and constructed. I used it to mount the knives on my planer, but convenient for many things. Supplied with a handle attachment for improved control when working with medium loads. Nicely thought out.

Do you need to install a custom water block on a motherboard? Are you fearful that you'll accidentally flex the pcb or strip a screw. If so, this tool is a lifesaver. I've only used it a handful of times thus far, but I find I'm more amazed every time I ply it against a stubborn pc water block. This tool is worth every penny... if your working with equipment worth more than your whole family.

The seller was 100% and the quality of the device was excellent. However I omitted to check the units the item measured in. The seller accepted my return with full refund without any problems at all. I was very impressed and thankful for his excellent service.

Ce petit tournevis dynamométrique était attendu pour desserrer et serrer au remontage une carte mère d'ordinateur portable et des plasturgies de coques supérieures et inférieures,certainement abimées antérieurement par le reconditionnement de ce portable 18.4" acheté en "refurbished" vendeur agrée ASUS Les vis M2 et M2.5 sont montées à l'origine avec du frein filet bleu ,et si le desserrage peut paraitre aisé,remonter un PC portable entièrement démonté est un travail minutieux a effectuer avec beaucoup de sensibilité pour ne pas "foirer" les filetages ou faire sortir les inserts métalliques filetés de leur logement en plastique;sans parler de la fixation de la carte mère....et autres difficultés Avec de grosses mains ,ce travail d'horloger requiert une attention constante pour serrer "juste": ni trop ,ni trop peu ,pour prendre le risque de desserrage d'un élément au fil du temps,des vibrations ,des différences de température ,des petits chocs..... Au déballage d'un paquet très bien conditionné,il s'est d'abord révélé d'un poids surprenant ,puis à l'examen d'une qualité de fabrication elle aussi surprenante d’où émane une solidité perçue ,restant à vérifier à l'usage. Sa conception m'est apparue particulièrement bien étudiée pour un fonctionnement aisé ,et réglages faciles,son excellente prise en mains. Reste a voir en fonctionnement ,la justesse des réglages de couple ?,mais pas inquiet : prudent ,je règlerais au couple mini requis selon le diamètre à serrer. Le blocage de sécurité au couple, se fait par la petite bague noire . Critique: Ce qui aurait été mieux ,voir parfait c'est qu'il soit livré en petit coffret plat,avec au moins un adaptateur 1/4 male vers 5/32ème femelle pour les petits embouts (micro-bits) de micro tournevis de précision;car il apparait évident qu'avec cette plage de réglage de couples ,son principal domaine d'utilisation s'effectuera avec ces embouts hexagonaux de 5/32 ème de pouce soit environ 4mm sur plats. Ce sont les petits embouts interchangeables divers ,qui sont fournis avec tous les tournevis de précision en coffret . Je regrette donc que cet accessoire quasi indispensable ne soient ni fourni avec ni proposés en recommandations ,avec..d'autant plus qu'ils sont particulièrement difficiles à "dénicher" en EUROPE !.......mais pas en AMERIQUE .mais avec frais de port et taxes;c'est trop. Si un lecteur pouvait m'inscrire un lien pour dénicher ces adaptateurs,a tarif non prohibitif,cela serait très utile ...pour tous.

Netter Drehmomentschlüssel

This has had quite some use. Still holding up well. Consistent torque on the screws. Would buy again if I lost this one.

Works as it should it is well built , comes with certificate, worth the money. You can buy a cheap one but you may get false readings and ruin your instruments
