one of the head screws went missing after a week and i can't find a replacement anywhere.just waiting for the other one to pop out and then i'm screwed.no pun intended.
you get what you pay for. mine worked great when new but when I went to use it a year later the torque setting had frozen and I broke a $75 pair of rings over torquing them.
As the inch-pound major settings go by steps of 20, it's not hard to figure half way for 20, 3/4 for 35, etc.Quality and storage case seem good for an inexpensive tool.The range also goes to 240 inch-pounds, not 200 as the title suggests. The minor calibrations are only in metric while the major calibrations are in both inch-pounds and Newton-Meters.
Fortunately I discovered the problem before using the wrench or I would have surely stripped out the fasteners. As received, the torque wrench was so badly out of calibration that it was totally useless. Don't waste your money on this product - buy the 'Snap-On' tool. The wrench appears to be a knock-off of the high quality 'Snap-On' wrench which is available on-line for ~$135. The torque settings on the wrench produced torques almost twice as high as the indicated values over the entire torque range. In addition, reproducibility was so poor that I was even unable to make a 'correction' table.
This is a high quality tool and was a good transaction. I looked in several places in our town and could only fine wrenches that were 2-3x more expensive.
