DraperBTW 1/4" Square Drive Torque Wrench | Micrometre Reversible Hand Tool | 5Nm-25Nm Mechanics Car Tools | Professional Blow Mould Storage Case | 78639

Needed a torque wrench that went a lot lower than my current one for some more intricate jobs, and this has been perfect, easy to read, set, and a very obvious click/bend when you hit your set torque. Nice and safe case it comes in to prevent it from damage. Really happy with this especially price-wise

Nice quality, tool as expeted

I've been a long time fan of Draper tools, usually an excellent mix of quality for a reasonable price. This tool slightly disappointed me though.For the most part this tool is great and I wouldn't necessarily discourage purchasing, but I have 2 minor gripes with it.1. The click isn't very pronounced - you almost can't hear it at all, so must rely on feeling the break.2. The lock isn't very great. I actually had to send the first unit back because the lock simply wouldn't work, I would set my torque, lock the nut and then any twist on the handle (Which is impossible to avoid completely when using) would pop open the lock and subsequently mess your torque settings. The locking nut on the replacement unit I received wasn't quite as bad, did at least work, but could still pop it open by twisting the handle with a little force.Other than this, I do enjoy using this tool. It has a really nice weight to it, feels very sturdy and comes with a great little carry case for storing.

Bought this to assemble my new electric mountain bike. Works perfectly fine, easy to use. Not precision quality, but good value and does the job. Good torque range for bikes etc. Regarding comments about "no click", when using at the bottom of the range, 5Nm, I find it better to tighten by lifting from the left hand side, so you're not using the weight of the tool. That way, the "click" is easier to detect.Tip: wrap a layer of insulation tape around the adjusting end, so as not to scratch your bike!

Great item at a great price

I like Draper tools as they are good quality, last a long time, and are perfect for the amateur. I have another Draper torque wrench for higher settings and bought this for more precise work during a top-end engine rebuild. Great choice, easy to use with a positive click and a great price for what is a very well made precision tool. This will easily last me a lifetime with the limited use it will get and pay for itself again and again from the work I can do myself. No hesitation in recommending Draper Tools, my go-to choice every time.

I've read some reviews saying that there was no real click from this when torque setting. Bearing in mind its a 1/4" wrench, and by proxy you'd be setting very low values, I think it's incumbent on the operator to feel for it. Personally I found the give at specified torque to be noticeable and certainly definite. I guess if you are used to whacking 250ftlbs onto a bolt it's maybe not so noticeable, but it's horses for courses. Pay attention to what you are setting out to do and this works just fine.

Used it fairly often. Probably around 25 bolts a week? Has now started slipping after 23 months. I only paid £25 at the time so I guess that’s not too bad. 3 stars from me.
