OK,I've done a comparison with a teng tools 110nm wrench  I torqued a nut up to 70nm with the teng then with the aldi one set to the same tried it on the nut,at 70nm the nut tightened a bit before the wrench clicked. I then tried it with the teng going up in 1nm steps until it clicked, +3nm was needed to click the teng . 80nm was+2nm 100nm was the same as the teng. I couldn't go to the 210nm as I have no wrench of that torque here at home. I know its not a very scientific test but looking at the three results I don't think its bad for a cheap wrench really. |

Good test Dave. One thing I forget to do with these click torque wrenches is that to preserve the accuracy you should not really leave them set- the spring needs to be relaxed for the weeks/months it sits in the toolbox. Looking at the original torque spec given for the flywheel it looks like Honda converted their metric kgf-m design specs to Americanese. 72lb-ft is 10kg-m and 87lb-ft is 12kg-m. I fear we may see undertightened/overtightened/snapped bolts ahead unless we are careful in general with these torque settings- not everyone is on the tools every day and knows how tight tight is. And the conversions can be confusing. Jeez remember the metric stuff starts out with a Newton being the average force an apple makes when it falls out of a tree! I have used this little program for years- not just for torque but for most unit conversions- worth downloading and putting a shortcut on the Desktop... joshmadison.com/convert-for-windows/ |

handy little tool Paul, pity there isn`t an android version for the phone.
I have one I use bookmarked in my browser on the phone but this is a lot better it covers most things You may need to convert in one prog.
I agree , you must remember to wind off your wrench when you have finished using it.

I have two Teng Tools torque wrenches, Santa brought me them last year. I think they are a bit hard to set for lb-ft as the markings are a bit confusing. Anyone else find this or is it just me ?
