 Great for the price September 13, 2009

I bought this primarily as an extension/breaker bar to get more torque than a regular ratchet. The torque indicator works fine. I got around the problem with it being not visible when using the 3/8 by putting tape on my desired torque, so I know to stop when the needle hit the tape.
 Fine basic torque wrench October 22, 2008

For a basic torque wrench this works just fine. Although it's described as a dual drive, the 3/8" side is difficult to use because the torque guage is facing the wrong way making it difficult to impossible to read while using. If using the 1/2" drive side though it works just fine.

I needed a torque wrench to properly install my wheels when rotating my tires. This wrench is easy to read and use in this application. I checked it's accuracy with a high end professional digital wrench and it was accurate.
 Why Beam-Type Torque Wrench is not Popular May 31, 2009

I decided to get a beam type torque wrench because I was reading around that it was more accurate than a click-type and that it requires no maintenance. After using it, I can see why the click-type is preferred now.
I went back to buying another, hopefully, excellent quality accurate click-type wrench. For this beam-type torque wrench, the 3/8" side is useless, which is what I need, since the scale was reversed as noted by the other reviewer. I used an adapter on the 1/2" side, but reading was still difficult since I was using all my strength and body weight to get to 80 ft/lbs. I had to make sure I was in a perfectly straight visible position of the scale to prevent parallax error and still be able to pull to 80 ft/lbs. Not only that, the beam was shaking since I was in an awkward position to pull the wrench while reading the scale so my arm muscles were shaking to maintain 80 ft/lbs. I was using it to torque wheel lug nuts. I might be weak, so other people might have better success than I did to prevent the shakiness and strain to pull to the desired torque value without shaking.
 Not that great January 31, 2010

I'm not too impressed but perhaps at this price I was hoping for too much. It's the first torque wrench I've owned and I bought it to torque the lug nuts on my small travel trailer. I find it awkward to use and hard to read the scale when exerting torque. Even when not in use the indicator does not read zero. It left me with no feeling that I had tightened the nuts properly. Should have bought something of better quality.
