torque wrenches arent dummy proof
so if youre getting this, please learn how to actually use a torque wrench. realize you cant just pull on this thing like you would a regular ratchet. you set the desired torque, make sure your bit is seated correctly in the fastener, and then SLOWLY AND STEADILY pull from the handle untill it clicks. you should visibly see it click as well as hear it if youre not next to a jet engine. if you yank on torque wrenches youre more likely to get a bad reading. even at max setting of 20nm you should be able to with one hand pull the torque wrench slowly and evenly untill it clicks. do it correctly and take care of your calibrated tools and its a great little piece at a fantastic price. rush it like its dummy proof and youre gonna miss the click at low settings and risk over torquing bolts.
