ST-13A-1

There isn't anything I dislike about this torque tool. The EPauto Torque Tool is exceptionally robust in construction being steel, not plastic. It's accuracy is verified by quality control inspection sheet included with the package. It is idiot proof allowing me to use it. The tool comes with an assortment of bits that are extra long (about an inch), are suitable for any number of uses and the storage case is also robust and should last a lifetime. Instructions are clear and easy to understand. Torque values from 10 inlbs to 65 inlbs are adjustable in 1/2 inlb increments for fractional adjustments. Included is a conversion table from inlbs to newton meters (N-m) or Foot Pounds (ft-lb) and Meter Kilograms (m-kg). I believe this is a gunsmith suitable tool and not to say the least, it's made in Taiwan. I am more than satisfied with this find and express my appreciation to the manufacturer for providing an extra fine product.

This is my first impression. I've used this torque screwdriver once. This is neither a precision nor a production tool. That said, it suits my purpose and is an excellent tool for the price. It is well made and the torque graduations are both easy to read and easy to adjust. In use, the tool lets me know I've reached the torque setting with an audible click and just the right amount of tactile "slip." The set includes a helpful assortment of bits whose quality is appropriate to "inch-pound" use. The carrying case is well designed and sturdy. I rated this tool 4-stars for accuracy only because the manufacturer specifies +/- 6% accuracy - which is good enough for my purposes.

Ive worked on countless home projects & gunsmithing with this set. Glad I got it! Works well, its durable and its nice and compact. Great value for the money.

No issues using this to adjust torque screws on an optic. Be sure to exercise the adjustments through the full range before use.

Pro's I bought it to use on my RV. Comes in a very nice case with a secure latch. You can toss it in your tool box and be assured it will not pop open with the driver and bits all scattered. The driver itself appears to be well made. It is very easy to set and use. It comes with a certificate of calibration & instructions. Even though I can't verify accuracy I feel comfortable giving the tool 5 stars. The print has good contract.Cons : the print is small, but it has to be small. I is not insulated so if you are using on electrical box be sure the power is off or you are wearing insulated gloves. I will update this review after I have a chance to use for a few months.

The Torque Wrench arrived very presentably: quality packaging, quality plastic case, solid all-metal heavy instrument - all say this is a carefully produced and shipped instrument. All this encourages confidence. I did not read the directions carefully that one needs to "dry fire" the instrument more than a few times if it has been dormant, stored unused, in order to insure lubrication in its inner workings , in order to insure that the wrench is sensing torques applied on the external job and not needed inside itself - in the internals of a dry unprepared measuring device. My device must have been very dry, stored for some time before sale - as I should have expected!Anyway, after my first trial uses were clearly applying far too much torque, beyond the intended and set number, I re-read the directions and learned why. Fortunately this learning experience was not on a sensitive project, but was on a set-up of a nut on a bolt attached to a bench vise, with a lock washer to show changes in applied torque. After ten or so sets and resets at different torques set on the wrench applied to the nut-lockwasher-bold on the bench vise, and I could see reasonable results and I gained confidence that the torque wrench was now "broken in" - internally "warmed up" - "lubricated" - ready to use. After that, all went well.I'm very satisfied with this instrument now.

This is needed to properly torque screws and easy to use.

Awesome wrench. Compared this and other brands for using in my gun smith scope mounting applications. This wrench is built solid. No plastic like the big name “wh***ler” brand. It’s lasted etch so if you get solvents on it while working. No problem. Acetone and carb cleaner do not effect it. Most importantly it starts out at 10in lbs and goes up from there.While other brands you have to guess in increments of 5inch lbs when you “think” the line is aligned with the number….Not this one. Starts at ten and the knob that you turn at the bottom increases in 0.5 inch lbs increment. And there are DETENTS. So once it’s set it’s set.Very pleased with purchase and it has a nice plastic blow molded storage box and a assortment of bits. Worth it to me!
