    I'm absolutely amazed by Quinn's accuracy shown in this video. Harbor Freight is putting out some decent quality tools lately. Growing up, HF was always my favorite place to go for the price. Now that I'm older and primarily buy Milwaukee, its nice to see some cheaper alternatives from HF that actually can compete. Likely buying myself the 1/2 and 3/8 of this after seeing this video.

      @@drummerjimmy51 I just ran a test for you because I own the 3/8" and the 1/2" versions. They both do offer many measuring formats including in in-lbs, nm , ft-lbs and a few more (six total measuring formats).
      the 3/8" starts registering at 7 in-lbs
      the 1/2" does not register until 30 in-lbs
      The numbers on the package that says 5.9 and 25 ft-lbs are BS they measure accurately lower than that, harbor freight wants you to buy multiple so they BS the numbers a bit... if I could do it over again i would only buy the 1/2" because i never need to use them for under 30 in lbs

    Practicing for a few minutes with a click wrench on the digital adaptor I learned that technique is important. My 30 year old 40 - 200 in-lb SnapOn wrench is plus or minus one inch pound full range if I use the proper technique. My 5 - 80 ft-lb Pittsburgh is especially sensitive to technique below about 25 ft-lb. My fifty year old 20 - 150 ft-lb Craftsman is the least sensitive technique of all my torque wrenches. I have a dual beam 0 - 200 in-lb beam torque wrench that's 40 years old that's dead nuts as close as I can read the needle on the beam.
    My take away: If you have one of these gadgets, use it to practice with the wrench for a few clicks if being close really matters.

    • @Tools-Tested
      @Tools-Tested  Год назад +6

    Thanks! That's definitely useful data. I have the new 1/2". It works well. I've been thinking of getting the 3/8" version. What I want to use the 3/8" for is verifying my low torque range micrometer adjust click wrenches. The 1/2" doesn't go low enough for my 40 - 200 in-lb (Used a lot on ATVs) or my 2 - 20 Nm wrench (which I use often on chainsaws). Based on your test results, I think I'll wait on the 3/8" because it's least accurate where I need it the most. The 1/2" is considerably more accurate.

    I need to torque something to 8ft lb. I’ve read that torque wrenches are less accurate outside of the 20% - 80% range. Not sure if this applies to digital adapters as well. Have you done any tests between 5.9 and 10 ft-lbs ? I’m wondering if I should get the digital adapter or a 1/4 inch drive 20-200 in.-lb torque wrench.

    • @Tools-Tested
      @Tools-Tested  Год назад

      You are correct normally below 20% the accuracy drops off.
      I haven’t tested the 3/8 down that low. I would expect the accuracy around 6%.
      If you need something more accurate probably go with the 1/4.

      @stevensam8834 The Torque Test Channel recently did a video on myths about torque wrenches. One of the key tests he did was do adapter or extensions make a difference in actual torque application vs reading. It was fascinating, there is a bit of math, but nothing too hard. Basically as long as you are in line with where you're applying the torque it won't matter. However as soon as you change angles, or add or subtract leverage, it will change the torque applied vs what is set on the tool. It's very consistent however with what happens when. So go watch the video to learn about how the rules apply...

    @DellAnderson Год назад +1

    I have watched and rewatched this excellent test video, but it's not clear how the target torque is indicated. Does solid red mean stop? Does flashing red mean approaching? What does the whining sound indicate? I am asking because it seems like you are pushing past the light indicator changes to make the numbers match, but I won't be able to see the numbers in all applications or positions, so it is important to understand how to interpret torque based on lights alone. Is that possible? Or would a click wrench be better in 'blind' applications? I still have an old beam torque wrench and it is kind of stressful watching that needle approach exact torque at awkward angles and was looking for something better.

    • @Tools-Tested
      @Tools-Tested  Год назад +1

      Thanks!
      Best approach is a click style in my opinion, you can just apply a constant force till the click.
      Digital wrenches are tricky because you need to slow down and can easily over torque, defiantly when you cant see the display.
      The leds on this flash faster and then go solid just past the torque, over by 1In Lb I found. At the same time the buzzer is also sold.

      Digital torque wrenches can be tricky because u won’t be able to see the display, only the higher priced ones have leds on the sides. A digital torque adapter would be better. But I still prefer a mechanical torque wrench for that application.

      So when in peak it will display the highest reading when applying torque, trace/track it gives you the live readout. So if you go up to 50 and let some force of the adapter peak will show 50 while trace would show under 50 so something more like 40
      Hope this make sense it can be a little confusing.

    I need a 1/2” drive torque wrench and I’m debating on the icon split beam torque wrench or a long ratchet and attaching the torque adapter to it. Which one is the better route to go?

  • @charlesronk2989
    @charlesronk2989 7 месяцев назад

    So I bought the 58706 model. Most things I am torquing are 30 to 110 inch pounds. Its range says 25 to 250 foot pounds. So what is the inch pounds range of this device. Do you just multiply foot lbs by 12 and that is the range. Which would make the inch pounds reading basically worthless, or does it read lower inch pound readings. I haven't opened it deciding if I want to exchange it or not.

    I have the gen one 1/2 inch but would it affect any readings if I use a 3/8 adapter and socket if I need to use it for space or whatever? I was thinking about buying a 3/8 torque wrench or adapter but I already have the 1/2 adapter and a 1/2 torque wrench so I don’t want to buy something that will sit and never be used. I also would like to see if I can calibrate my gen one just to make sure it’s within spec.

      Yes using an adapter is ok, it has almost zero impact on the torque being applied.

      Really depends, if your using it every few weekends probably the adapter would be a good choice. Every day a split beam is preferred in my book, engine work is when the digital torque wrench with angle comes into play.

      Longer the better for leverage and it makes it easier to control. Torque is measured by the adapter so the length won’t affect it.

      It works by wires which change resistance that are glued to the shaft of the adapter. As that resistance changes the circuitry turns the voltage change to an actual torque reading.

      @@rlyle5804 The length of the wrench should not matter at all in theory as there is no way the torque adaptor can "know" or "see" anything other than the torque that you are applying to the end of the digital torque adaptor. Is it possible that you are changing your technique somehow between the two wrenches? Creeping up to the torque vs. rapidly torquing? Or perhaps using at a different angle?

    Do not buy and here why. If you hit power and memory button at the same time the calibration of the tool is gone and the torque adapter is worthless junk. No recovery from that. It could be that you Push power and memory because buttons are to close to each other. Power and memory button are exposed and if you place the torque adapter on a bad spot it could be that Memory and power button are activated at same time. The result is always the same the calibration is gone for good and there is no info how to re-calibrate.
