This is not my first torque wrench, but it is my first electronic torque wrench. I use torque wrenches to put on the lawn mower blade after sharpening or when working on the snowblower. This tool is simple to use. The torque and torque alert % are easy to set and the multiple alerts let me know when I’m approaching the set target. Once I get close to the target the red LED starts blinking, the handle intermittently vibrates and starts beeping. Once the target is reached, the red LED becomes solid, and the handle has a steady vibration and beep. The first time I used this I was thinking, wow! I’m surprised it doesn’t shoot off fireworks too. The handle is comfortable and the tool includes case (with a handy conversion table molded into the cover), certificate of calibration, and instructions. 2AA batteries required are not included. This wrench can be set to 0.1 ft-lb increments from 7.4-99.6 ft-lb, although best accuracy is between 20%-100% (20 ft-lb to 100 ft-lb). It’s calibrated to be accurate to +/- 2% clockwise and +/-3% counter clockwise from 20%-100%. The wrench can also be set to Nm, in-lb, kgf-m, and kgf-cm.I want to mention this model does not have the angle feature like some of the GearWrench models, so there’s no torque to yield setting to set the angle measurement. This doesn’t impact me since I’m not working on cylinder heads or engine blocks, but it may be important to some. Another nice GearWrench product!

Model 85076 (Made in Taiwan – Batteries not included). Hefty, well made, and with a few quirks. The unit is just under 16 inches long and weighs 2lbs, and comes in a sturdy storage case. The rubberized handle is fairly thick, but comfortable. The LCD display is functional although hard to read, especially the “units” indicator, which reads either “N.m, lbf.ft, lbf.in, kgf.m, kgf.cm”. The display has no backlight and the screen cover is shiny and generates a lot of glare. The six buttons are easy to read and operate but setting torque takes some practice. It takes three seconds to turn power on or off (though auto shutoff works in 90 seconds). To set the target torque, first select the unit of measurement, then press “set” and use the up/down arrows to set desired torque. At first the desired torque changes slowly by the smallest increment but holding down the arrow shifts to high-speed mode where the reading increase/decreases in larger increments. When the desired target torque is reached, press “set” again to save it. It gets confusing when you hold the arrows down because the torque setting “rolls over”, going from the top of its range to the lowest (or vice versa) in a single jump. You quickly learn to push/let go/push/let go to “dial in” the setting. A further problem involves the setting increment. In the metric units, the setting increment is always the smallest digit displayed. For example if the unit is kgf.cm, the display might show 6.00 and each tap of the arrow changes the display by 0.01. DESPITE what the package says, the increment is different in SAE units (lbf.in, lbf.ft). In “lbf.ft” the increment is 0.07 or 0.08, and in “lbf.in” the increment is 0.9. As a result you can’t set a “whole number” target torque, like 105.0 lbf.in. You set either 104.4 or 105.3. After setting target torque you set a “warning” value as a percentage of target torque, from 5% to 50%. As an example, for a target torque of 500 kgf.cm, you could set a percentage of 10% and the device will ‘warn’ when the actual torque reaches 450 as you are tightening. As you approach the target torque the unit combines beeping, a red LED and internal vibration to signal nearing and reaching the desired torque. That’s very effective and reasonably accurate, and allows me to move faster than with the standard “click once” indication of a mechanical torque wrench. The unit is fairly accurate (2-3%) and comes with a Certificate of Calibration, which is nice but it’s only good for 3 months – and mine was dated 4 months before I got the unit. The instructions identify where to ship the unit for recalibration. While I usually enjoy electronic digital controls in this case I thinks it’s awkward, especially for the added price. While I like the warning indicators as I approach the target torque, I wouldn’t recommend this unit just for that.

Nice upgrade, I have a manual / needle torque wrench, that works well, but it is hard to read and you have to be facing it to get an exact reading. This electronic display allows you to get an exact torque and can also be set to reach a certain target torque. The tolerance alert is nice for not over-torqueing. It feels very well made. I like the length and the rubberized handle for easy tightening. Nice tool.

The Gear Wrench 3/8 inch torque wrench comes in a nice case with padding, Inside the case are printed conversions between the 5 different units. The torque wrench has a big handle with a rubber grip. The rubber isn’t the most durable and can easily scuff so depending on how hard you are on your tools it might look rough. The body is hard plastic which feels solid but for the price it would have been nice to see a metal body. There is an anti roll bar which keeps it from rolling off a table or other surface. Adjusting the settings is a breeze with simple controls. You can adjust the target torque alert which will pulse a red led as you get closer to the set torque. This range can be adjusted pretty easily. When you reach the set torque it will make a reasonably loud noise vibrate and light up which is nice if your working in a busy shop and can’t hear it or can’t feel it. You can also adjust the unit of measurement between newton meters,foot-pounds,kilogram-force meter, kilogram-force centimeter. Adjusting the torch spec is a little annoying as the beeper goes off every time the torque spec is raised. When adjusting the set torque you can get really precise you can adjust the set torque by as little as .07 ft pounds. A backlit display would be helpful for not so bright work areasAt the end of the day the torque wrench gets the job done well and quickly. If you can justify the price over a clicker wrench I would highly recommend you add it to the collection.

Extremely easy to use and very accurate. The size of the 3/8” drive is a good size so easier to get into smaller spaces than a larger wrench.

Easy peasy torque wrench. I love not having to worry about un-tensioning the wrench after every use. Easy to set desired setting. The display gives you a reading as you apply force. There is an alarm when you get close. The handle vibrates when you are done. Pretty hard to mess up. The percentage is how far ahead you want the alarm to go off before hitting the limit.I received this GEARWRENCH 3/8 IN. DRIVE 7.4 FT./LBS. TO 99.6 FT./LBS.

Haven’t exactly had a chance to test it yet but the build quality is super solid. Has gotten really good reviews, both in professional reviews and reviewed by consumers, so I expect good things. Comes with a decent warranty. 90 day accuracy guarantee and 1 year for defects.

This is an electronic GearWrench torque wrench. l like that the target torque can be set so that when I get close to the target torque, the handle beeps and then vibrates when I pass the target torque. This setup is very useful because on my old beam type torque wrench I can only see the torque one one side. But with this electronic style torque wrench, I don’t need to see the numeric display. I can just hear and feel the target torque setting. I also like that is uses AA batteries.Just a note of caution: I accidentally put my hand to far out on the end and popped the battery cover off a thread or two. Luckily, I was able to unscrew the battery cover and screw it back on properly. No damage was done, but you will want to keep your hand on the GearWrench logo and not on the black battery cover.

I wanted a torque wrench poor working in my garage. I like the fact that this gearwrench is an electronic torque wrench. This allows me to more accurately track my measurements digitally and I really like that it gives me alerts so that I do not over torque 8 Ball. It is nice size and weight with a nice long handle with a comfortable grip. It seems very well-constructed and I feel it will last me for a very long time. My only minor complaint is that it did not come with batteries at this price point but I am very pleased with this tool.

I prefer click-style adjustable torque wrenches to torque-measuring wrenches. It’s been my experience that it’s much easier to tighten/loosen to a specific torque value with click-style wrenches. That said, I’ve found that this GearWrench 3/8 in. drive electronic one is a pretty decent economy torque-measuring wrench. I’ve found it to be useful after some practice using it.The wrench came in a plastic storage case with some basic instructions on the modes of operation and a certificate of calibration. The operational settings are easy to select and modify using the buttons near the LCD display. I set the desired torque and then the wrench uses an LED and beeping to indicate when target has been reached or exceeded. The wrench can be set to either “peak reading” mode or “tracking” mode. In the peak reading mode, the display shows the maximum torque applied within the preceding 15 seconds. In the tracking mode, the display shows the real-time torque value. I’ve used the tracking mode to identify the torque required to loosen tightened fasteners such as the oil pan drain plug after an oil change at the garage. (They almost always over-tighten beyond the spec torque.) The certificate of calibration is for torque readings in the range 20 to 60 Nm. In that range, readings were well within the permissible variation of 2% from the true values. The certification test was apparently performed at the factory in China, but the test purportedly conformed to American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) performance and safety requirements for manually operated torque instruments. The certification is not traceable to National Institute of Standards and Testing (NIST) standards.The wrench seems durable. The rubber handle is easy to grip and the metal parts have a nice chrome finish with the exception of the 3/8″ square drive. The wrench requires two AA batteries, which were not included with my wrench.

Sturdy construction; the tool feels substantial and is well machined. Quick learning curve. Easy to adjust. Accepts multiple English and Metric units (i.e. N-m, ft-lb, in-lb, kgf-m, kgf-cm). Shows real-time readings and, when the pre-set torque is reached, the handle vibrates, the tool beeps, and a light appears. Requires two AA batteries (not included). Requires recalibration after months of use- at additional expense. Nice hard-side storage case.

ACCURATE; SOLID; EASY-TO-USE — A torque wrench is an essential tool for someone who does mechanical work. The GearWrench 3/8 in. Drive 7.4 ft./lbs. to 99.6 ft./lbs. Electronic Torque Wrench is an excellent choice for meeting this need. The torque wrench has a solid feel. It fit my hand well. It is easy to set the torque and the torque alert allowance. The torque cannot be set exactly but very close, e.g., 19.99 instead of 20. It has five units of measurement. The selected one appears on the display but with rather small characters. It would have been helpful if it were somewhat larger making it easier to read. The feature that I found most useful when tightening an oil drain plug was that the tool beeps when you are getting close to the set torque. It buzzes, a red led flashes, and it has a slight vibration in the handle when the set torque is reached. This feature was useful because from the positioning of the wrench, I could not see the display. I also liked the feature that the final torque applied appears for 15 seconds in the LED display. That way I knew the exact torque that was applied. The ratcheting mechanism is as smooth as any that I have used. The wrench comes with a certificate of calibration but the calibration is warranted for only 90 days. Changing the batteries is easy. The instructions are clear. It comes with a well-designed case but based upon past experience the lower quality latches are not likely to last. It is made in Taiwan. It has a one year warranty.
