Works great

The 7.4-99.6 ft-lb range is versatile, making it perfect for automotive and other projects. It feels solid, and the controls are intuitive. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a reliable and precise torque wrench!

Great tool. I like that it vibrates and beeps. Seems like cheaper ones just beep

Took a while to get it turned on because the first two sets of batteries I tried didn't work, but the third set did. For the record, the 1/2" drive fixed-head wrench uses three AAA batteries, not two AAs as per the Amazon description.After a quick trial, it seems to work well. The vibration is a little weak for my liking, if I had the option I would probably just turn it off because I can't really feel it through my gloves. It's a very weak, high-frequency vibration with a loose and almost tinny-sound rather than more of a strong, tight vibration from something like an iPhone or Playstation controller.Aside from that, the light isn't that great either as it's a small, individual LED on the screen so unless you're looking directly at it, you won't notice it. I think if GearWrench ever upgraded this model, an LED ring around the top of the handle would work much better.I think it's an okay torque wrench for the money. It feels solid and the ratchet action is tight and smooth so you can always get a nice angle to torque your wheel lugs.

As a mechanic of 20 years my tools are very important. This torque wrench is incredibly durable and comes in a nice molded plastic case. This torque wrench is very simple to use and is accurately calibrated compared to other torque wrenches I own. The handle is very comfortable and its narrow swing makes it great for tight spaces. The torque wrench is powered by AA batteries so there’s no need to charge it. If it runs dead, just replace the batteries.

I haven't used it yet but the 1/2" does NOT take AA batteries. It takes AAA. It was noted that it takes 3.

I’ve own this less than a year and roughly 90 degrees of the total ratcheting mech doesn’t engage anymore and the remaining part that does, does only to about 40 ft lbs then snaps past. I believe either the teeth are sheared or badly damaged. I only ever used this up to 90ft lbs for my wheels. Kept in the case, took excellent care of it and in less than a year it’s nearly useless.If you try to claim a warranty, they send you to a third party shop out of West Virginia. At which point you have to pay shipping to get the tool to the shop, they “need it for about a week”, and then they determine if it’s under warranty. No idea if this is a fox or replace situation.I’ve owned this less than a year and it’s trash, now you want me to pay to ship it to some random company who then decides if it’s a warranty or not. On what criteria? This is nuts. Don’t buy this tool. You’re on your own if it breaks, and at the very least gear wrench is going to make you jump through hoops for a repair or replacement. After this experience I wouldn’t recommend GearWrench anything to anyone. This is terrible service.Update:After another email to Apex they doubled down on sending the tool off for repair rather than offering to replace it.There is absolutely NO REASON that within the first year anyone should have to compromise on a repaired and clearly defective tool. Apex will actively choose to make this harder on the customer when given the chance.
