Perfectly calibrated...
I'm writing this review because I read some of the other reviews and they were saying how they twisted off bolts because the torque wrench wasn't calibrated right. First of all I don't use a torque wrench unless I know that it's calibrated especially since I use it on airplanes, motorcycles and engines. I've been a licensed A&P (airplane mechanic) for over 20 years so I know how to use a torque wrench properly. Regardless, this seems to be a well-made torque wrench and I'm looking forward to it lasting many years to come. So the pictures that I submitted are me testing the calibration on the torque wrench. If you don't understand the pictures you can YouTube, "testing calibration on a torque wrench". You can see that the weights that I put on it were 30.4 lb and I adjusted the torque wrench to 30.5 lb. The weights made it barely click over which means that it's calibrated perfectly. I have no problems using it. It ratchets well, feels good and is calibrated so unless I'm doing something wrong while using it, I won't have any issues twisting off bolts. The only one con that I could find is when you're setting it to a higher torque you have to keep loosening the lock and it's kind of stiff twisting the handle to get to the higher torque. Other than that, I definitely suggest buying one of these since they're inexpensive and calibrated...
