Working Well....
First off, the number one thing you must do, is to release any tension on the wrench when not using it.The wrench works well and seems accurate enough for the home mechanic to do basic maintenance on their car.Fit and finish was nice, case was good, and the instructions were usable. If you have any doubts, there are plenty of YouTube videos, showing the basics of using this wrench.Nice to have the estra adapters included for various shocker sizes 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2".

Best Torque Wrench for the Money... Great for Bike Maintenance.
I build and maintain lightweight mountain bikes, and often need to torque cassettes, bottom brackets, pivot bolts, and crank bolts to 30+ newton meters. I typically use a smaller torque wrench on stem bolts and anything else up to 24 NM. For larger/tighter applications, I had bought a torque wrench from HF and it never had a distinguishable click when something was tightened to torque, which is not good when you are working on anything, low cost or high cost. This wrench is fantastic. First order of business was to tighten a 8mm RaceFace Cinch crank bolt on a Pivot full suspension bike. I set it appropriately and heard the very distinguishable click when torque was reached. No subtle tick, no second guessing. Great quality as well. I anticipate getting many years of use, and well maintained bikes out of this tool.

Worked as expected
I was really nervous after having read some of these reviews. I decided to go ahead and buy this anyway, as I really needed a smaller torque wrench.Functions as expected. I mean, I have no means to verify that bolts are at whatever torque setting I set it to, but I stripped no bolts and the bolts felt appropriately snug while torquing.I know my "feeling" means exactly nothing, but it wasn't broken, used, etc like some of the other reviews said. I'll update if / when it breaks, but so far it's performed admirably (as far as I can tell).

Excellent and well packaged. But read the instructions!
This is a compact torque wrench easy to carry and use for many projects. It is well packaged and includes adapters to work with sockets of different sizes.But if misused, it can destroy your project. So please:Read the instructionsUnderstand that you should stop torquing the wrench as soon as you hear the "click". If you keep at it, the wrench will not protect you!Try it out on a test part if possible, or with a lower torque than what you actually need.

Gets the job done
Opened up the package and was surprised to see it perfectly with all attachment in the case. Used this once so far and was really impressed with the way it clicked once it hit the estimated 59 pounds of torque. I have a basic branded torque wrench that worked and still works fine but cost me around $50 and this one is much better. The attachments that the tack life comes with are wrench size converters. So you can convert from a smaller sized to larger and larger to smaller. Great product that feels nice and heavy, with a great finish, and gets the job done

Used this to replace my spark plugs -easy to use
Surprisingly heavy in the hand, I believe the setting are accurate. I needed 13lbs of torque when installing spark plugs in my 2008 S550 4Matic. I would have totally under-torqued the plugs. Just when the wrench reached the setting, the wrench kind of flexes, and make a click. This was consistent with all 8 cylinders. It comes with a nice plastic case. Seems super durable, but I have only used it once. I bought this size, and not the smaller one, as I thought this size would be good for lug nuts. If you need torque setting below 10lbs, you would be better off with a smaller wrench. I don't regret buying this. I've never owned a torque wrench, and I think it's a great value for the money. Why guess how tight something should be, and possibly break off a bolt, or worse yet, break a spark plug in your engine. Peace of mind, and saved me hundreds by not having my spark plugs changed at the dealer.

Good tool to have
This is my 2nd torque wrench so I only have 1 other to compare it to. It works fine for my needs. I use it mostly on my dirt bike where things need to be torqued to spec. I probably should have gotten one a litter lighter duty because I think this goes 10 to 80 ft lbs. I find myself needing to torque things more on the lower side of the range. But it's easy enough to use. If you set your desired amount of torque you need, you can't over tighten it because it clicks and let's pressure off. Good tool to have in the garage and reasonably priced.

Good buy for the money
I don't need a torque wrench all of the time, it's a rare thing for me to use actually. With that, buying a very expensive torque wrench was a hard pill to swallow. I bought this instead, cannot speak to its' accuracy as I have nothing to check it with but I've had no issues with anything I've torqued with it yet. Easy to set, comes in a functional but nothing-special case with a couple of adapters. I am sure professional mechanics would ask for more of a tool but for the home DIY-er it seems to be just fine.
