NEWTRY Digital Pointer Dial Torque Wrench Torsion Meter Force Test 3/8 1/2 3/4 0-3000Nm (0.3-3Nm)

The expected mediocre build quality. Plastic bezel, feebly thin max torque needle and generally average materials used throughout.But then it’s £44 and doesn’t pretend to be Snap on or Norbar.Appears to work satisfactorily to set rolling torque when preloading bearings (my sole purpose for purchase).No calibration ticket, but tbh I didn’t really expect one. When I get my calibrated Teng 5nm click type wrench back I will do a back to back just to see how close the advertised 5nm on this one is.Not blown away, but I wasn’t expecting to be either - it is what it is, budget but operational.

It did the job, but not a very high quality tool. Halfway through the job (on a roof) the ball and spring on the square drive came apart and (as it was up on a roof) disappeared. The rest of the job was done with the drive socket taped on - very inconvenient to change sizes.

I had to carry out a “rolling torque” Preload exercise on a bearing in a stern drive which is a vital exercise in the rebuild process of a transmission for a powerboat.This torque gauge provided me with the measurement I had to obtain for completion of the assembly. Although the gauge is a bit “twitchy” after rolling the bearing for a short period I was able to read the measurement required.Cheap and cheerful but got the job done.If you are looking to use this gauge on a regular basis then maybe spend a bit more on a higher quality product but for one off jobs now and again it works fine

The media could not be loaded. Overall - it's a lot bigger than I anticipated, it doesn't come with any calibration/accuracy certificate/declaration and it do any come with an adaptor to fit different bits to....I'm not sure who would make use of this...Im a part qualified electrician and do some electrical work where there are reccomended torque values for screws (such as a consumer unit/fuse box), where generally the prescribed torque falls below 5nm - so the model I got would do for the checks I might need.I don't do enough electrical work to justify the £150+ for a torque screwdriver, so when I was offered this, I thought it would be great to have to hand.First off, it's much, much bigger than I thought. It's going to be difficult to get it into all the nooks/crannies in fuseboxs and such.It's a dial indicator, I guess they call it "digital" because its a continuous scale rather than because any electronics are involved (it's all mechanical).The drive shaft is a short square just like a spanner/socket wrench - it comes with a 6mm socket for some reason...when unwrapping it I assumed it was an adaptor to hold pozi/torx/Phillips bits but no...just a single 6mm socket bit. You'll have to buy a socket wrench adapter bit to use this on anything else. I'm not an engineer so I'm not sure if that will mess up the readings (maybe a longer shaft would create more torque and give you a lower reading of torque in the screw/bolt measured than is true?)It does come with any certificate or assurance of accuracy - this isn't unusual in import tools I guess and it doesn't always mean it's garbage, but for a tool that is usually only needed for technical reasons, a technical spec would have been useful. Unfortunately I don't have another means of measuring torque so I cant test it's accuracy.The blown out plastic case seems like a generic one that fits several models...it's big and not great but I guess will do...So in conclusion, I'm not sure who will want this. I'm not an engineer or an expert so take what I say with a pinch of salt. But its difficult to rely on its accuracy and it's too cumbersome for an electrician. If I could depend on its accuracy, it might be useful for a workshop where it's "mobility" is less of a concern. It's made well enough I think ( it's construction reminds me of old military issue gadgets). So perhaps if you have a means of testing it, you could use it happily in a workshop?

This is about 300mm long and comes in blow-moulded plastic case, and houses a ¼ inch drive point.The dial shows 1-5Nm running around both sides in half sections, with the ‘fingers’ showing how much torque/pressure you’re putting on the wrench.The outer ring of the dial rotates in order for you to make sure the pointer is at zero before usingThe handle is covered with a thick black rough coat which feels rough in my hand yet makes it feel better to grip,It’s simple to use, set the main pointer to zero, rotating the dial is necessary, with the follow up pointer at zero. Then, use the wrench to tighten the bolt you need to tighten. When you hit the right torque the main pointer flashes back to zero, leaving the follow up pointer at the point of torque. This will give you an idea of how much torque is required for future bolts/nuts etc.It can be used both clockwise and anticlockwise which gives you more options.In all, this feels strong, yet is quite light. The handle may flakes a little but it still feels solid in my hand and the dial is pretty easy to use and to understand.My only quibble is the price, (hence the loss of a star) as £100 (roughly) is a little too much for my liking.

This comes in a blow moulded blue case and feels quite heavy. Rather than a torque wrench, which ratchets at a limit, this allows you to tighten with a rolling torque. I'm not sure how accurate it is as it doesn't come with any sort of calibration.There is a simple max measurement as you go with a needle that holds in place. We've got a few tool bits and we've used it to try to determine the best torque we need for an assembly, it kind of does the job for that and is more direct method than upping the torque on a ratchet system progressively.It could be a little better made and I have mixed feelings about it.
