What Customers Are Saying
The Kobalt torque wrench offers a range of torque settings and is easy to use, making it suitable for smaller, light-duty tasks. However, some users reported issues with accuracy, particularly at lower torque levels, and a few experienced the wrench breaking bolts. Additionally, the new packaging design was criticized as difficult to open without damaging the case.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.No click, worthless.
Would Not RecommendNo click at all right out of the box. Lowes, stop responding to peoples bad reviews by suggesting they buy your updated 3/8" torque wrench that's 3 x the price with reviews that are even worse.
Did not work, out of the box. No click.
Bent shaft
Would Not RecommendNeeded a torque wrench to 250 ft.-lb. to tigthen pinion nuts. For most applications, thats around 240 ft.-lb. After several uses, I went to put it away in the case and the shaft is now bent.
Solid construction
Would RecommendSolid construction. Ratchet head is well constructed. Other brands I looked at had open snap ring in the ratchet head, flimsy, etc. The torque adjusting ring was very solid. I use to correctly torque lug nuts and suspension parts.

Works OK but be Careful
Would RecommendI needed a torque wrench for smaller rocker arm shaft bolts on a 74 Mopar LA 360. Just as I was pushing for final torque on rear driver's side of engine, the rubber plug from the end of the handle popped out. That bright blue rubber plug bounced like a super ball around the lifters until it found a hole by the oil pump/cam gear and headed for the oil pan. That did not make me happy.
Does the job
Worked fine for me

Worked for a while, then the infamous "no click"
Would Not RecommendI really liked the construction of the 3/8" drive, but as others have noted, at some point, it just stops clicking. Mine did the same at 35 foot pounds when tightening an AR15 barrel nut. Even taking it down to twenty doesn't produce the click.
