Hvac Torque Wrench

I used this while installing a DIY mini split heat pump and I'm glad this wrench was available as the instructions really emphasize not under torquing or over torquing the connections. In retrospect I should have gotten the one that ranges from 5-45 ft lb as one of the fittings needed 40 and this one only goes up to 30 but at that point I had figured out what I needed to do to get the fittings tight but not too tight. The wrench was a confidence builder and I was able to get it next day. Thanks Amazon! As for accuracy I tried a regular torque wrench I have and this one set to 20 ft lb and they both seemed to click at about the same amount of force.

Value for money: This piece of junk didn’t work and now I have to call an HVAC contractor to recharge my 3 zone system. It never “clicked”. I over tightened my flare but and crushed the flare!!! I’ve used torque wrenches before. This doesn’t work

Not super easy to use it's either so quiet I can't hear it or I don't know what I'm doing.. could be either one lol

After I got used to it, works very well. Very well made. Was what I needed for our mini split system.

Todo ok

I used it on a mini split. It seemed to work well for what I needed it to do especially at the cost point.

It works well, it's accurate and just what I needed. However... that little ball that locks the jaws onto the shaft has a spring strong enough to lift up a CAT D5 bulldozer. Use needle nose pliers to get it started and a pin punch to get it off. I'm thinking of just abandoning the case and making one to fit the wrench with the jaws attached. But it works. Well. I'm glad that I bought it.

The scale only goes to 25 Nm, so you are left to assume you are torque-set at 30 Nm if you crank it all the way to the max. However, those last several turns are more than you input for 5 Nm increments on the scale - actually twice the rotations. Therefore, is the Max 30 Nm or is it 35 Nm? You don't know, but for the money you pay you should know or what's the point of using a torque wrench? This is nonsense and not worth purchasing. Product is Made in China. As the Jack Nicholson character in the movie to explain all the unwelcome issues in his plot, when it comes to reliable instruments made in china, "it's Chinatown". Disappointed!
