Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

It's good for occasional use. The auto-shutoff is a bit aggressive. It's super easy to use.

Angle degree tracking works surprisingly well. Needed the angle degree torque for my engine bolts. Beep and vibration make it easy to know when you are approaching the setting. Press c button to restart the reading between bolts.



Cons

Tried contacting acdelco multiple times, no response. Three times now it's gone into a continuous beep mode. Acdelco says it is out of warranty and unrepairable.

Dollar piece of junk. Takes forever to calibrate and once it does, it’ll simply turn off mid torque application. Flashes 0000 for minutes at a time.
