Kobalt 3/8-in Drive Digital Torque Wrench 5-ft/lb to 100-ft/lb with Batteries Included

Junk

I’ve had 2 of these and they are total junk. Won’t hold a setting. Constantly goes to error. You have to wait for it to clear out or remove the batteries and reinstall . If you need to cut it off and start it back up you can’t 4 small 0 err code comes up and won’t clear out. I’ve got a 40 year old craftsman torque wrench that I have to use and it’s accurate

Will Not Calibrate

Bad torque. Was doing suspension work on daughter's car, just seemed like wrong torque, grabbed my kobalt click type torque wrench I was right, digital was off by a few ft lbs. When selling a tool such as a torque wrench accuracy is important ! All my tools are Kobalt so hate to leave a neg review !

Gears Stripped at 80Ft-lbs

I was gifted this torque wrench without a receipt. I used it 5 times for values under 100Ft-Lbs. The fifth time broke the gears in the head. Come to find out Lowes does not have replacement gears as they do the battery caps and appear to not carry any digital torque wrenches anymore at my locations.

Battery cap is a fail

I like the wrench. Bought it for doing head gaskets that require degrees so i wouldnt have to use dial gauges. Used it about 5 times. Always have taken the batteries out when done with it. The last time i used it i went to remove the batteries and barely turning the cap one of the ears that retains it in place just snapped off. Cant find a replacement part number for the cap. Now i have basically a brand new digital tq paperweight that for the cost is a joke.

They won't give me money back

Doesn't work

IDK I love it.

I love it easy to set good for a DIY person I say.

Storage case not included

For the price I would expect at least a storage case.

Just don't buy this!!!

The one year warranty that this comes with is not worth the money spent in the wrench. Of course, its better priced than snap on but its still expensive for a paper weight. The battery cap is the fail point for mine, and I was unable to find a way to make it work. I have tons of kobalt tools this being the most expensive other than an air compressor and I will be not spending money on tools that are at lowes that do not have a warranty or some form of repair at a lesser than new cost.

Shipping was terrible

This expensive, calibrated tool was haphazardly packed and shipped. It fell out of the case and rattled around in the box. (pic included) Now, I'm not sure if I should trust that it is still accurate. Pretty disappointed.
