Great for mountain bikes
I originally bought the Park T handle torque wrench and was very disappointed when I discovered it lacked the range needed to torque many of the smaller fasteners on my bike. This CDI product is perfect and costs less. Highly recommended!

Great deal for a quality tool -- even came with a calibration test report!
CDI is owned by Snap-On, and this appears to be a good tool. The tool is made in China. For the price I suppose I shouldn't expect made in USA. I am very satisfied with the build quality, ergonomics, operation of the torque adjustment, reading of the gauge, and the way it releases over-torque.It was a nice surprise to see a handwritten calibration report on the back of the packaging. The report says the 2 Nm setting was found to be 2.0, 5 Nm setting = 5.1, 8 Nm = 8.4, all of which were within their +/- 10% margin.I don't think you'll find another tool this quality for less than $150.

Excellent bike tool
High quality Snap-On product. Good heavy duty weight, easy to use, a good assortment of attachments for close and extension. Has most of the torques needed for my bike and I like that it goes all the way to 2nm for the bottle cage. It shows the calibration checks on the insert in the package -- who, when, result. I have other torque wrenches that do not have that. Very pleased all around.

Excellent performance and usability - Design/ergonomics could be improved
I purchased this tool for my portable mountain bike tool box. This tool was to replace my Park Tool torque wrench with a similar design type, But the Park Tool doesn't have the ability to adjust the torque settings anywhere on the range and I found it to be not so accurate, good enough to do the job, but not as accurate as I'd like.This CDI tool works perfectly and is accurate for the price and type of torque wrench that it is. However, I wish following improvements to the design/features were made:- Smaller in size with slightly more meat on the handle- Bit storage in handle- Made with a more sturdy material - the Park Tool is heavier and just feels like it's slightly higher quality compared to the CDI which is well-built but feels a bit plasticy

High Quality Torque Tool
A quality tool from CDI Torque Products (Snap-On Industrial Brands). Has the tools calibration checks listed on the back of the package. The torque settings are large, easy to set and read. A solidly made tool that works as advertised.

Excellent product
Our electric works team were required by a customer to torque all the electric panel breaker terminal screws, with a calibrated tool. These are QC type breakers requiring less than 6Nm torque force. The TLA28NM Screwdriver was the perfect tool for this job. It comes with calibration certification written at the back of the envelope package.

Comes with certificate of calibration
I purchased this at the recommendation of friend so I could install new handlebars and stem on my mountain bike without worrying about over-torquing the bolts. It's easy to adjust the torque setting and includes all of the common hex bolts. Unlike all of the other less expensive torque wrenches I researched on Amazon this one actually includes a hand-written certificate of calibration and no reviews mentioning over-torquing or stripped bolts! The 2-8 Nm range is perfect for working on mountain bikes with carbon fiber components like seat posts.

Overall good, but one issue after a year of use.
Overall good and seems accurate. Was worried about the body being plastic, but it's a good quality and so far has held up. Could be better from an ergo perspective. The main issue I have is after about a year the magnet inside the hit holder has shattered and fallen out. Not my bits won't stay in and keep falling out. Would have probably been better to have a different bit retention design as I'm assuming the clicking upon reaching a torque setting creates a mini impact on the magnet. Otherwise it still works, but really tired of dropping bits and can't haven't got around to finding another magnet that fits. I have other CDI torque wrenches and they are great, but only has a 1 year warranty. Also, not sure if it can be calibrated. I need to check with CDI on that. One other thing...the bits supplied with it are a bit small on tolerances so I don't use them as it increases the risk of stripping your fasteners.Feb 2024 Update:Was able to remove broken magnet pieces and replaced with a new one. So far its holding up. However, I noticed a couple more things to consider when using this. More about the included bits, since the tolerances are a bit small they fit loosely in the bolts. This is worse for the long bit included with the kit. If not held properly centered with respect to the bolt, it can over torque. Also, the click is much harder than any beam type I've used which combined with the loose fitting of the bits, does require more control.

Magnet came out during first use. Handles uncomfortable
The bit holder magnet came out the first time I used it, makes me wonder about the durability of the tool.The handle design is poor, it has a sharp wedge shape that digs into my thumb when I'm torquing. Not suitable for frequent use but ok for me I think. Bit storage in the handle would be nice.The adjustment range is great but it gets very stiff at the top of the range, I'm worried somethings going to break.Looks like the tool is completely sealed, there's no way to get into it to it to lube it.The readability is excellent.I don't want to spend 50% more for the Park tool with less torque range, but I'm not sure this one will last...

Well worth the cash.
Pretty accurate for sure. Built SUPER SOLID, more than I expected. I used it to mouth two rifle scopes, and it worked PERFECT !!
