Please get calibration checked from a Local Store before use, but good for the aspiring enthusiast.
So I've been performing most simple and medium difficult vehicular maintenance tasks in my parking lot and a torque wrench had always been on my Wishlist, but it is a rare product which is not frequently seen in most small-medium scale garages and whenever I've found it available, it has always been very expensive, and started above Rs. 7000-8000.Why Do You Need Torque Wrench?When machines are assembled using Nuts and Bolts, the nuts are tightened to a specific Tightening Torque which the manufacturer has determined after huge amounts of research. Normal hand tools can be used to tighten Nuts and bolts but there is no assessment of how much torque we might end up applying. e.g Weak person will apply less torque to a particular Bolt while a Strong Person might apply a lot of torque. Too less or too much of torque is NOT desired as both as worrying consequences. If it is too LESS, the bolts will come off and cause problems. If it is too HIGH, then the BOLTS might break the part or the BOLT itself might strip as it was not engineered for that amount of torque.So a Torque Wrench is a PRECISION device for ensuring you apply only the RATED TORQUE for that particular application.Who Uses Torque Wrenches?Torque Wrenches are used by Automobile Manufacturing Plants which make Thousands of Vehicles a year. Each part is torqued at the Factory using Precise Torque Wrenches. Few car service centres like Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes use Torque Wrenches as advised in their Official Company Repair Manuals. In India, I can safely say 60% of garages are not using TORQUE WRENCHES but are tightening nuts and bolts using their experience or estimate.Inside the Box of the Amazon Basics Torque Wrench1. Sturdy Storage Box for safely storing the Torque Wrench when it is NOT in USE.2. Torque Wrench itself.3. Owners Manual for the Torque Wrench (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO READ for NEW USERS)Where Is This 1/2 inch Drive Amazon Basics Torque Wrench Useful?I found it useful for the following applications :-a) Tightening Car Wheel Bolts to Torque Specs (e.g Hyundai Grand i10 Wheels : 65~79 lb-Ft, Nm 88~107)b) Tightening Brake Calliper Carrier Bolts which is recommended when changing Brake Disc.c) Tightening Suspension Mounting Boltsd) Any other NUT OR BOLT with Specified Torque range matching the Torque Range of this wrench.e) Useful for most Oil Sump Drain Plugs (e.g Hyundai i10 34.3 ~ 44.1 N.m, Swift Dzire K12 35Nm)f) Can be used to Torque in both RATCHETING DIRECTION with a FLIP of the Switch.CalibrationI assumed the device will be pre calibrated but due to shipping and transit, the spring might lose their calibration and mine by off by about 15-20 Lb-Feet. That means a wrong torque of higher nature will be applied, which is harmful for very sensitive applications and can effectively defeat the purpose of a torque wrench. So please get the torque wrench calibrated before usage.Where It Is Not Useful?1. Smaller bolts in the engine or on machines need very small torque <20 Nm and so it is not usable there as this one is meant for higher applications.2. Not Useful for Spark Plugs as again they are needing Small Torque upto 17-18Nm or so.3. Bicycles also require much smaller torque than this Range allows.Disadvantages1. I feel the spring is a little harder to compress and attain HIGHER TORQUE RANGES above 120Nm (Some Car Tyres) as a considerable twisting force is needing to overcome the spring tension.2. Locking/Unlocking Lever is a little hard and gets stuck sometimes.3. Pound-Foot Scale is more friendlier for setting and changing values compared to the Newton-Meter scale as it is LINEAR. So conversion tables and calculators will need to be religiously used.Care To Be Taken1. This tool has to be used very carefully and all precautions must be followed for ensuring correct torque values.2. Callibration : Upto 12000 Clicks a year or 1 Year and then the device should be calibrated, and so we need to find local shops for the same. But again, do check it before use.3. Do not drop this Torque Wrench as the Springs might lose calibration.4. It is meant for ONLY TIGHTENING. Do not USE TO LOOSEN ANY BOLT OR NUT.Value For Money?This Amazon Basics Torque Wrench is one of the ONLY Options available on most eCommerce sites and I feel it is a good tool to add to the TOOLKIT, but it is NOT an ALLROUNDER as for smaller applications like Brake Calliper Pins, Spark Plugs etc. we need a Smaller Range and perhaps a Smaller Form Factor. But considering it is a PRECISION instrument, I think it is decently priced.So, if you are a MECHANIC at HEART who wants to ensure a perfect job, then do consider picking and starting to use a torque wrench and for Most Engine and Suspension Work, this could be a good start.

Received a faulty product
I bought the Amazon 1/2-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench about 14 months before and did not get a chance to use it until now. The quality of the product is average, but it will serve the purpose. I am giving this only 3 stars because the product is received had a manufacturing/assembling fault which took me a long time to figure out. The pin that clicks inside the wrench was wrongly place and this led to the wrench no clicking. I ended up breaking the locking bolt on my planer machine while testing the product. So i did some research and finally found out the fault after many trial and error. Now the tool works fine, but i had to spend extra money on the broken bolt of my planer and had lost a few hours of time doing this. And now after getting this corrected and reassembling the product I can get the click but the click is not strong enough as expected.So i have to say that this is useful and the packing is good. But the quality can be improved a lot. May be the product i received is faulty. But since I found this after more than a year, I don't think i can claim any warranty.

Good Screwdriver but lacks grip.
This a good all in one Screwdriver set. The handle is not large enough and not as ergonomic and lacks grip. You wouldn’t feel the grip of rubber, rather the plastic more. However the body is sturdy enough for major use, that is not an issue. You cannot unscrew overtightened screws with this handle’s grip. This screwdriver is for light to medium use. I tried it for automobile use, there is no grip at all to unscrew any tight bolt, if you do wanna use, you might want to get a wrench that goes with these bits. The end of screwdriver has a plastic cap, out of proportion and bothersome while holding the driver and serves no purpose. It is hollow inside anyway, they should have added screw bit storage inside. Anyhow you can just stuff your necessary bits inside the driver if you are able to get the bottom cap off. Overall good but could be better.

Good Product
It's worth the Buy ... It serves the purpose. The length of the handle is not that long like a T spanner. However it's solves / addressees your issues .
