Used it on my truck as I had to torque down the front/rear pinion seal nuts and the front axle shaft nut to a torque specification.Good torque wrench 30-300 ft/lbs for automotive jobs. Fair price

Well, I received the correct size -3/4 drive . Very nice packaging, plastic container. Nice finish work on the setting. Knurled hand grip and lock are good. Tomorrow will be the test with lug nuts and trailer hitches.

This is much bigger then I thought it works. Probably can use it for self defense too!

Great price for a heavy duty 3/4" drive torque wrench. Easy to use and works great, and costs much less than some of the competition.

Mon frérot l'aime bien mais il manque un peu de torque
John D. Dyer
I compared it to another tourq wrench. They were the same very satisfied
Shawn W.
I would definitely recommend this product
Ron G
Heavy duty and it comes with a case

Love it because my craftsman torque wrench only goes up to 250 ft lbs whereas my Ford Flex CV axle nuts are 258 ft lbs so it tightened it up to the proper ft lbs setting and wont cause my CV axle to go out prematurely! Great money saver!

I have a 2007 F-150 Supercrew 2 WD. I replaced the rotors a few years back and since have had constant issues with the rotor bearings failing. Whether I replaced them or a shop replaced them after 4-5 months the bearings would start to fail. After some forum research I found that the spindle nut may have been over tightened so I decided to buy this. A quick comparison to how tight the spindle nuts were compared to how tight they were after torquing confirmed that, , .yeah I was over torquing the hell out of them. Very happy with this purchase.

This was the cheapest 300lb torque wrench I could find. Is it a SnapOn? No. Will it get the job done? Absolutely. Out of the box it was accurate. I've only had it for a month, so I can't speak to how long it stays calibrated. So far though, I am quite pleased.
Glenn Wright
This wrench works as advertised and has a very decernable click when it reaches the set point. Easy to read settings enhance its usage.
Camper
Used it to torque up to 200 ft/lbs. Easy to read and use. Solid build.

Quality of the product
Robert Gelven
Solid wrench

Seems well built and applied 300 ft-lb when my 1/2" drive would not.

I was going to do a rear wheel bearing on a Ford Explorer. Tuned out the wheel bearing was OK so I haven't used the wrench yet. My main concern is the torque setting markings are painted on, not engraved. I'm afraid they might not last.I liked the factory testing certificate. Nice touch.
Gary Barnes
Would have been nice if instructions were clearer and better. The setting markings on the wrench were hard to figure if it was 5 or 4 or 7. Worked ok and will see if results warrant another comment
AJ
Easy to use seems accurate comes in good plastic storage container

I've used many torque wrenches over the years, for everything from delicate bike parts to construction equipment. This is a solid, basic torque wrench that covers a wide range of uses. I've been using this on my truck, and I appreciate the extra length over most 1/2" torque wrenches to help cranking on high torque fittings. The length can be a hindrance for certain things, but that's why I have smaller wrenches. The finish is quite attractive, and it seems well made. So far, so good, and at a reasonable price for what you get.

So far this torque wrench works as expected.The built and finish of this wrench is really good. It feels right on the hand, it has a nice weight and length that helps when being used. Changing the tension is just as with any other torque wrench.The tool also comes with a protective case for when not being used.In general, I am very satisfied with this torque wrench.

This torque wrench is a winner according to the men in my family.We recently purchased a travel trailer, and one of the things the dealer emphasized is checking your lug nuts on a regular basis. It certainly gives piece of mind knowing that your wheels will not fall off because the lug nuts aren't torqued to the proper tension.My husband said that with a standard lug wrench there is no way of knowing if you are going to break the bolts with too much force or if the lug nuts will come loose. With all of the traveling we hope to do over the next several years, we'll carry this torque wrench because of the possible problems from all of the bouncing that occurs when driving across the highways and byways of America.My son-in-law works on his own vehicles and after giving this tool a thorough inspection for me, he stated that he knows the brand and he assured me that this would be a welcome addition to any mechanic’s tool chest. I feel safer knowing that this torque wrench is in the tools we carry in case we have to service the RV or one of our vehicles.

handy to have when you need it

Feels like it is really well made

Buy the tools you need at the price you can afford.

Seems to be a very good product.

This is a monster if you're not used to big tools. Lots of leverage for torqueing the big stuff. Fit and finish are good. I like the color because it makes it easy to read the setting. All my sockets are 1/2 inch so I purchased an adaptor (also black) and works great. I compared it to my other wrench and it's on par.If you need a heavy-duty wrench, this is a great value and I recommend it. Unfortunately it's not made in America. Recommended.

I like to do woodworking and around the house DIY projects as well as most of my own vehicle mechanic work. Fixing my own stuff is enjoyable with the right tools at hand. This is a very useful 3/4 Inch Drive 30-300 Ft-Lb Click Torque Wrench with Blow Molded Case for those times I need to precisely torque down large nuts/bolts. I can use this for axle nuts or my rig's big truck lug nuts with the right socket. I have a 3/4" to 1/2" adapter so my big tool chest has what I need there, it was this large size (~24" long) 3/4" torque wrench that I did not have.I appreciate that this comes with a serial numbered Certification of Accuracy with the SN matching that of the tool. That's reassuring that it meets ANSI standards and offers +/- 4% Accuracy. The numbers are easily read with one side having Ft-Lbs and the other N-M (Newton-Meters). The 3/4" socket drive head has a standard reversible gear tab switch and uses a spring ball socket retention design as it should.I Recommend this LEXIVON Store 3/4-Inch Drive Click Torque Wrench 30~300 Ft-Lb / 40.7~406.8 Nm (LX-185). The seller has other sizes available. This will be in my big rolling tool chest for when I have need of a large, high torque wrench. Good value, well made tool.I hope you’ve found the information and my review helpful.

With such a low price point, I was sorta expecting a chintzy excuse for a torque wrench, but I'm happy to say that's not the case. This this is a monster. It has a good weight to it as it's a huge chunk of steel. Plenty of leverage to tighten up some lugs or loosen stubborn ones. The storage case is a nice bonus too. For the price, you really can't go wrong.

I have a couple of torque wrenches. One cheapie from Harbor Freight and another that I inherited (Craftsman). But I needed one for my new pickup, just in case.To test the torque, I moved the adjuster to the appropriate torque for my brand-new pickup. The torque was supposed to be 83 ft. lbs. and since the truck was just from the factory, I thought it would click at that number. I was right. I went up to 88 and it did tighten. Back down to 75 and again it clicked.So to my non-scientific approach, the wrench perfectly matched my factory-floor lug nuts. Great purchase, and perfect for the toolbox just in case you blow a tire.

I’m using this 3/4” drive torque wrench for hitch balls and wheel lug nut torque on a dually truck along with trailers. Maximum torque is 300 ft-lbs. The torque readings are extremely easy to read with the yellow lettering on a black finished wrench (see the pictures). The finish is almost too nice. I’m sure I’ll be disappointed the first real scratch I put in it but I have it to use, not look at. It’s simple and quick to adjust to whatever torque setting is needed.Prior to this torque wrench, I only owned up to 1/2” drive and the torque capability was inadequate for trailer hitch balls. I’d torque them using a long breaker bar, a heavy duty hanging/weighing scale, and math. It got the job done but keeping the scale attached at the correct length on the breaker bar and pulling at the correct weight value for that length was a delicate balance. That method worked fine for something you don’t do too often. This 3/4” drive torque wrench is a heck of a lot easier.I took a video to show the distinct click it gives when it reaches the torque setting. There’s no question when you’ve reached the torque setting. In the video, I had it maxed out at 300 ft-lb. You can see it worked well.It comes with a calibration certification, shown in my pictures. The serial number matched the tool. I have no accurate way to check the torque settings. My previous approach with a scale is ok but definitely not within the claimed accuracy of this tool. Having done a lot of automotive work, it “feels” right to me at all the torque settings I’ve used but that likely doesn’t mean much to you. I know it’s not way off (like a cheap 3/8” drive one that I have) so I’m happy with it and it’s good for my use.The case is nice. I appreciate the conversion factors stamped right into the case but I probably won’t ever use them. Everything I do is in ft-lb.I can’t think of anything I dislike about this torque wrench. I’m happy with it. If I experience any durability issues, I’ll update this review.

This is a massive wrench. Operates as a ratchet wrench or torque wrench. 3/4 inch head. Need an adapter to work with smaller 1/2 or 3/8 drive sockets. Power to work on larger vehicles, trucks ot tractors. Comes with heavy duty case.

Exploded during first use

Appearance: Very nice, HUGE torque wrench (I have the 3/4 drive version). It comes with a nice case for storage and protection.Assembly: noting to assemble. This arrives in the manufacturer's case, so it's well protected (and very heavy). Pull it out of the case, read the instructions, and it's ready to use.Thoughts: Super-easy to use and set the correct torque. It feels ULTRA-HEAVY-DUTY and I truly feel this will last multiple lifetimes. For quality like this, you're buying this for multiple future generations to use! Really nice! 5/5Overall: HEAVY Duty Torque Wrenches!

I use this on my truck and trailer axles for the leverage the 3/4 style torque wrench gives you. The handle adjustment was smooth and a beefy audible click made it super easy to use. The only thing I I’m not a fan of is the style of measurement where the line dips down a little. Not a big deal though.
Teddy
this is a great torque wrench, i prefer a click type to a needle gauge type myself and this one is perfect. its solidly built and i feel like it will last a lifetime. the handle is textured so it doesn't slip, important if you like knuckle skin, and the marks are easy to read. for the price id definitely buy another if needed.
Jerry Mouse
One of the best darn torque wrenches in my opinion at this price. This is a perfect torque wrench for any backyard mechanic, DIY, or small garage. It’s not that it won’t hold up, but the constant use would probably give it some wear and tear. I’m sure I’m wrong, though! It’s massive and simple, the design isn’t bulky like a Husky torque wrench. It’s slim, kind of like a breaker barI’d advise everyone though to read carefully before ordering because my bone head mistake was to order the 3/4! I have no use for a 3/4 as most of my work could be done with a 1/2. Still, it’s nice to have around in case of that extra leverage and “oomf!” for those darn bolts. Recommend this product by far
Dave Evers
I don’t have many big applications where I need a 3/4” drive - I’ve been getting by OK with my 1/2” drive. But it’s nice to have a beast of a torque wrench like this for torquing big things like wheel hubs. Looking forward to a big job so I can put it to good use.
HeardItThroughTheGrapevine
This wrench has came in handy many times and it's been great! I've been using it for a few months now and haven't had any issues.Yes, I recommend this product
Sabrina
Wrench looks nice and works as it should and functions looks high quality. I decided to give it a try based on the calibration certification that it claims on the description.However it is consistently off, not all over with readings, but consistently off for the readings I should get. Was using this for work and work in calibrations.So overall do I recommend this maybe, but definitely have to mess with the adjustments as it out of line with everything that's in house for us.
Alan R.
Used this one (1) time and the ft/lb handle froze, would not move up or down. I returnedMy suggestion is spend a little more and buy a proven name in torque wrench's
Tom Hartfield
Sturdy and well built. Nice storage case. VERY EZ to adjust and read.
Geoff
Torque seems accurate as far as I can tell. Setting the torque is easy enough. The black finish gives it a nice look and feel. Nice case as well.
Marco
Compact and very useful on heavy duty applications
Jeremy Klinebriel
Not a bad torque wrench for the price. This goes up to 300 ft. lbs. which is what I have been needing. This is made a little different than others I’m used to using. The handle don’t slide for you to twist to the torque spec needed. The screw that is located at the bottom of the handle loosens up so that you can turn the handle to the desired spec then tighten it back down to lock it in place. The torque wrench is heavy duty. So far it has been accurate but I’m not sure how it would do on daily use. It could be something where you have it calibrated once a year or even every 6 months if desired. For what I need it for it will do the job.
David
It broke at 130 ft/CBS. Very unsatisfied
