Pittsburgh Torque Wrench

[bubbatrucklover]

I have needed a 1/2" torque wrench for some time. I had a buddy who has had his Pittsburgh for years and used it in personal and commercial applications with great success.

I still hesitated as I don't put much stock in Harbor freight for tools like this. I have read countless reviews on this and got mixed results.

On sale for $15 I grabbed it today.

So is my initial gut reaction that this is a POS (I mean we're talking a "precision" tool for $15) and I will be taking it right back, or is it decent for light to moderate use.

Its ok But what do you expect for 15 bucks?
It will work fine for home use, you got your moneys worth.

Yeah I'm NOT expecting the world nor by ANY stretch of the imagination do I think it's top notch. I have a Husky 3/8", but occasionally I come across things that exceed it's max torque of 100lbs.

I'll buy the 1/2" Husky. Just needed something for now.
