Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 1/4-in Drive Click Torque Wrench

Great value

Fit, form, and function are good. It is well made. The click-handle sets very definitively in each notch.

Very nice selection/very good pricing my opinion can’t go wrong

Works but didn’t last

Used this many times for about a month. Maybe the 15th use when trying to torque a bolt to 85ftpds, the head of the wrench broke off in the socket......so if you only want a torque for fewer than 15 uses and can give up a socket in the process. This wrench is for you.

Torque Wrench

I've only used this once so far on a job that only needed 20ft/lbs. of torque but it worked well! It was very easy to use.

Solid tool

The feedback it gives you when you hit the desired torque is obvious and immediate. Ran it through a lot of work on replacing car suspension parts and never had any problems with it.

Biggest piece of crap from Taiwan.

Haven't used but about 4 times if you want a good torque wrench spend the extra money.

Nice Torque

Never owned or operated one. Have always just changed mower blades with a socket wrench. I'm not mechanically inclined, but the directions were easy. PS. The blades are still attached to the mower. lol

Built quality is outstanding

I bought my dream car at the age of 22, and wanted to start doing preventative maintenance so that it will last. The Kobalt torque wrench was one of the first tools I bought and it felt really good on the grip and quality was amazing, feels like it will last a lifetime

Torqued

I’m just street rodding an old trees so this will only be used occasionally. It is easy to read, set value and has a solid feel. Troy

Torque Wrench

Our son works at a car dealership and needs reliable tools. We got this for one of his Christmas Gifts and have to say he was completely delighted to get it. This wrench seems to be of very good quality and hopefully last him for many years to come. I can say from my experience the brand speaks for it's self.

Good while it work

Is good for home used, but to used in shop it breaks, to easy and it only have 1Yr warranty, not worth it

good for what it is

If you torque things from time to time i suspect this will be well within limits for quite some time. If you use this on a regular basis dont expect it to maintain specs. We bought one just a bit over a year ago and use it regularly. About to put an engine together and sent it to a local place who checks calibration and makes sure its within the acceptable 4% variance. Best the could get was 12% possibly and it could not be adjusted. FWIW its a $60 torque wrench and not a $350 Snap On. Im curiou...

Solid wrench

Had no problems with it so far. I like the click vice digital read out. I feel less hassles with calibration!

Junk

Almost never clicks or otherwise indicates proper torque has been reached. Wanted to like this wrench, it looks nice and feels solid, but that is worthless if it doesn't work. Really dissapointed I spent $60. I wish I had that money back.

Broke After Minimal Use - Bait & Switch Warranty

I bought this years ago when it had a lifetime warranty. It has not seen much use in that time. I use it for 100 ft/lb lug nuts primarily. It was used once on a 150 ft/lb axle nut about 3 years ago. Once in a great while it would be used for bearing caps, ring gear bolts etc. As far as torque wrenches are concerned, this thing had an easy life. Recently, it started to pop & skip while torquing lugs, and it was far from being near to the torque setting. I checked the screws on the head and they ...

Excellent

Very nice torque wrench, good quality, easy and smooth operation, good price. I recommend

Well worth the money spent

Had to replace front wheel bearing in my car. The torque of the hub nut is 159 foot pounds. The wrench was perfect for the job. Just a heads up. It is to long to work in fender well.
