Capri Tools 31002 30-150 ft-lb Torque Wrench - Perfect for Tightening & Loosening Fasteners

E46_Adam: while i was working on my car, i was torqueing my oil filter housing after changing the gakset, i was following the torque procedure and it was 25ft, while i was torqueing something felt wrong so i stopped and told myself it was good enough, 1 week later i had a huge oil leak, turns out the torque wrench ended up over torqueing my housing and i was forced to buy a new housing, avoid this product or buy a quality torque wrench.

Yo mism: Todo perfecto. Eso si, pagué 36€ por ella en 2017, la he utilizado bastante y todo perfecto.
IMPORTANTE: quitarle la tensión después de usarla.

Hunter-Gatherer: I needed an inch-pound torque wrench to torque down camshaft cap bolts on my Mazda 5. This did the job easily. It has a good weight to it and seems well constructed. I had consistent torques all the way through. No complaints. It comes with its own case too! Just remember, this is not a "click" torque wrench. It is a "Yield" torque wrench. When the torque is reached, the handle yields (pivots slightly at the head). It's easy to see and feel. Don't use it expecting it to click. If you do, the click you'll hear will be the bolt breaking off! Great tool and price!

Marcel Allaire: Pour évaluer le calibrage ayant été appliqué par mon installateur de nouveaux pneus Nokian et je fut renversé de pouvoir constater la non-conformité des calibrages recommandés par BMX pour mon X3 a essence qui est de 120 n.m. Heureusement cette Tork-Bar a fait la job avec sa capacité possible de 205 n.m. On m'avait troqué mes nuts de 35 n.m. supérieur et même plus dans mes safety-nut .. La résistance a débarrer ces écrous m'a demandé beaucoup d'énergie mais ce Tork-Bar de marque Capri fabriqué en Californie a répondu avec fermeté et ce fut un bon test a la fois .. Je peux hautement le recommander .. Merci au fournisseur ainsi qu'a Amazone ..

Brandon Mc Neal: I was used to using a beam style torque wrench. It was some pretty old school tech ,but It is what I used to torque the wheels on my truck since it was the only torque wrench that would go up to 140 foot pounds I had. I had bought a torque wrench from Harbor Freight and I had forgot to check the box and I believe it only went to 80 foot pounds so I returned it. I found this on Amazon and saw that it went up to 150 foot pounds so I had to give it a shot. It's a good torque wrench. I haven't done any scientific testing with it ,but it feels as accurate as my beam style torque wrench and the click when it reaches the torque spec is loud and you can feel it through the tool.

A word of advice though make sure you reset the torque wrench to zero after you get done using it so it stays accurate and make sure the little knob to turn to lock and unlock the torque selector is set all the way to lock. I had it come unlocked and I over torqued my bolts to my transmission pan and crushed the gasket. That was probably my fault though.

Dave: Capri Torque Wrench 1/4" - Quality tool for a good price. I bought mine $8.50 cheaper from warehouse deals because the plastic was torn on outside of cardboard box. My wrench worked great installing rear shocks and glow plugs on a 1994 Chevy Dually. I am not a mechanic. I would love to know how these buyers are breaking bolts. 240 inch lbs = 20 ft lbs. This is not a whole lot of torque, compared to 40-60 ft lbs. 10MM Glow Plug torque was 15 ft lbs. That was approx. 1/3 turn from hand tight. Take your time to read the instructions, go slow, and feel the break when turning handle slowly. Someone wrote the O does not line up properly. Mine is the same. O does not line up properly on inch lbs side or newton meter side. MESSAGE FOR TAIWAN - WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING IS WRONG! Take your time and try lining up the O for the inch lbs side ONLY, when assembling product. Some buyers complained about case size. I left my instructions inside plastic bag, placed on top of wrench and closed the lid. Tight fit, no movement from wrench inside case.

94eg!: This is a fantastic piece. I used it already on so many fasteners to do a valve adjustment on my wife's 04 Honda Pilot. Throttle body, Intake manifold cover, intake manifold, valve cover, rocker shafts, spark plugs, etc..... This is perfect for all those low-torque nuts & bolts. Just multiply by 12 to convert your typical ft/bls into in/lbs. BTW: For spark-plugs, I highly recommend getting yourself a 1/4"-3/8" adapter ($5 for a 5 piece set at Harbor Freight). Then you can use your regular 3/8" spark-plug socket & extensions you are familiar with in all those hard-to-reach spark-plug areas.. Honda spark plugs require only 13lb/ft of torque with anti-seize, and it always bugged me that I could never torque them properly. Those days are gone and I am a happy man. Also the adapter works amazing to get into hard to reach spots with various extensions or deep 3/8" sockets that your 1/4" gear might not reach. This can make all the difference to allow plenty of room for the torque wrench to swing....giving you nice smooth torque applications.

BTW: This wrench goes very low. 20in/lbs is light enough to allow you to click the wrench-head just with your bare hands. I found...

Carmine: Comprata due volte perchè la prima mi è stata rimborsata per una negligenza del corriere che ha danneggiato l'imballo;
Oggi mi è stata consegnata la chiave in un pacco decisamente ben confezionato (mi chiedo che razza di animale ha maneggiato il primo pacco per danneggiarlo al punto da doverlo rimandare indietro); scatola esterna molto generosa in modo da accogliere la scatola della chiave più una buona quantità di materiale (carta e giornali) per proteggere il contenuto;
Chiaramente la prima curiosità è stata quella di aprirla; devo dire che a dispetto del prezzo la chiave si presenta molto ben curata nei materiali nelle serigrafie e nell'assemblaggio, a dimostrazione della buona qualità dell'oggetto c'è anche il numero di serie inciso sul manico; all'interno c'è uscito, tra le varie carte, anche il certificato di calibratura visto che si tratta di una chiave destinata ad un uso di precisione; attaccata al manico c'era una bella avvertenza di rimettere la chiave in posizione di taratura minima prima di riporla dopo l'uso;
la confezione di plastica che contiene la chiave è quasi certamente la stessa che contiene anche la chiave più grossa, infatti risulta...

JohnK: I was on the hunt for a torque wrench that could be used to tighten small parts like those found on a bicycle. The Capri 1/4" torque wrench fit the bill with a compact 8.3" length and a range of 2-28 Nm. It also has micro-adjustment in .11 Nm (1 in/lb) steps. On top of that it was only $30 and, at least in the pics, it looked nice with an easy to read scale. I must admit upon unboxing the wrench I was a little disappointed. As other reviewers have mentioned, the scale isn't actually as easy to read as it appears in the pictures. The markings on the black handle are clear but the engraving on the silver shaft is difficult to read. Also, the handle turns very rough like metal-on-metal grinding. It's not smooth at all but I guess this is to be expected on a $30 wrench. I also was surprised that an 8" wrench comes in a case designed for the larger 14" wrenches. It would be nice to have a case that actually fit the wrench. On the plus side, the wrench does seem to be working correctly. I had no trouble getting the wrench to "click". Also, bits are not included so take this into consideration when comparing other wrenches.

** UPDATE: Soon after I purchased this torque wrench I...
