I like the hobby of finding the true manufacturer of many hand tools rebranded in the market

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep its always interesting to see who is making what for who. It's interesting how much cheaper the Quinn versions are. But shipping is expensive which probably pays a huge factor.

[@GilsonJr.Whitout.Numbers]

These marks are random. It is made in China, with accumulated knowledge. I bought a "white label". And it's the same thing. Many brands will have to stop winning over the name.

[@cccspokesmanandcofounder]

Such a great channel. No BS. All great informative content.

[@Tools-Tested]

I appreciate that!

[@gts5930]

Holy smokes! Can't believe how accurate that adapter was, thanks for the review.

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep I honestly cant believe how accurate most of these adapters are. Thanks!

[@rcg9573]

I have one of these and it has paid for itself several times over. I use it to check the accuracy semi annually of two Hazet torque wrenches I use regularly, a 5108-2CT and a 5107-2ct. It has saved me several hundred dollars from sending in those wrenches for recalibration when it proved that they were still accurate and well within the tolerances I require.

[@Tools-Tested]

Yeah they come in handy when checking other torque wrench's. Good alternative vs having to send the wrench out.

[@aluisious]

I just bought one and used it to recalibrate an old torque wrench I had accidentally stored compressed for years. 80 ft lbs setting was clicking at 65 ft lbs on the Quinn. Did a little adjustment, good as new. Also the Quinn has a higher range which is useful for the rear axle nut of my Ducati that takes 169 ft lbs.

[@GilsonJr.Whitout.Numbers]

Here in Brazil I've been wanting to buy a torquemeter for a long time, but it's very expensive. Now begins this new generation, digital and at a fair price.

[@kylefowler5082]

This tool would be great for me as an electrician, most days I'm torqing lugs in the 50-250 lb in range which is this tools wheelhouse. Beats exercising the clicker style. Thanks for your testing, I really appreciate it!!!

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep I hope HF offers it soon. No problem!

[@fitch8363]

Thank you. It's as good as I'd hoped it would be. I put it on the list. I need a cordless mid torque first, then this. I don't know if you noticed, but at the time writing, 1-24-2023, the Amazon web page seems to have the data for the top and bottom lines swapped. Torque data for the 1/4 has a 19mm socket. Torque data for the 3/4 has a 1/4 socket. Confusing it is.

[@Tools-Tested]

No problem! Yeah it would be nice if HF would offer one, I would expect the price to be like the 3/8 of around $40. No I didn't see that on Amazon, but I'm not surprised. In some case I find the info on Amazon more misleading than Ebay.

[@mawer55555]

thank you very usefull and informative content held of on buying one of these aliexpress torque meters for a while being unsure how acurate they really are.

[@Tools-Tested]

Glad it helped!

[@danr1920]

I have the Quinn. Works well for me. I found with the traditional click torque wrenches, you can be very accurate and consistent with some practice. Also, should I watch this video before I buy a tool?! Take one apart, you will be surprised how simple they are and not sure they work.

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep the Quinn adapters are impressive for how simple and cheap they are. Like u pointed out they work well for practicing with a click style and also checking them.

[@WvMnts]

I can’t find it on Amazon tried the link but the 1/4 isn’t listed. Thanks for sharing

[@flashgordon3495]

In any case, Wisretec adapter works quite well with an accuracy of 2% in the range of torque it has been qualified for. Not bad. Low torque accuracy remains quite good even after 1000 shots. I don't know how the strain gauge is fixed onto the shaft i.e. what kind of bond is used and how it will ages with temperature and humidity changes. But good product. And a very informative test 👍.

[@jinchengyang5432]

Great vedio! Are you planning on testing the KiWAV or Performance Tool adaptors which has a rotatable display? I kinda like their design and their seemingly more compact size.

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks!, yeah at some point. Probably won't be for 3 months though.

[@jinchengyang5432]

@@Tools-Tested Cool, then i'll stick with the wisretec for now, and maybe buy another one with a rotatable display after ur new video👍

[@gslavik]

Is there even a reason to get a click style torque wrench now that these are more accurate, more versatile, and cheaper?

[@jettschenker]

Now it's Quinn, I have the version sold as Pittsburgh. I'll get that 1/4 drive one though.

[@prodstuntman]

This one looks like it’s sold out. What digital torque adapter would you recommend right now for the lower ranges? (4 - 30 lb ft or so)

[@prvtnewbie]

Great video. My question is why buy a digital torque wrench? Why not just buy this instead? I feel like I am missing something between the torque adapter and the torque wrench.

[@Tools-Tested]

This can be to tall or wide in some applications were a torque wrench can get into. Engineers don’t make things easy to work on anymore. Also some digital wrenches do torque angle.

[@three-phase562]

The Wisretec units do seem to be good value for money. I have had the 3/8 version for about 2 years now. Looks like they have changed the design to a much larger display from mine. Shame about the lack of a backlight, it does give the Quinn a bit of an advantage, but these units have lots of rebrands. Unlike the mechanical torque wrenches, the digital units should not drift with use, as it is just a strain gauge arrangement on the drive shaft. The internal reference may drift overtime, with it just being switched on. The only other major failure would be the strain gauges becoming detached, but then you will either get no reading or a really bad one.

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep and the Quinn ones over here are even cheaper. I’m truly shocked by the accuracy, and like you said for the most part it should hold.

[@kimchee94112]

Mine lasted 5 years with little use. Great when working. Could be bad capacitor, bad trace (corrosion?). leaking battery, defective push button contact, so many things could go wrong but still relatively good reliability as long as with Taiwanese semiconductors not mainland Chinese electronic crap.

[@neiliewheeliebin]

@@kimchee94112 Tear it down & have a look it'll be interesting to see just how these things work

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

Apparently, the link goes to a Walfront Electronic Torque Adapter. Have they changed their name?

[@Tools-Tested]

Yeah looks like they just changed the name.

[@RotaxXS]

Another great video. Check out your link, the MFR name is now showing as Walfront. Weird.

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks!, yeah it’s weird it said Walfront when I ordered it. Must be a miss spelling from the seller.

[@MaXGTS1]

Anyone know where to find the Wiseretec 1/4” adapter? The provided Amazon link no longer has it and can’t seem to find it anywhere else.

[@Tools-Tested]

This one has the same model # amzn.to/3TCnehM

[@richardwoodcock849]

@@Tools-Tested Also now unavailable.....

[@juanc5149]

Do you know if they make a 1/4 in drive torque wrench?😊

[@Tools-Tested]

Quinn? not yet but hopefully soon seeing the manufacture makes it in 1/4.

[@dtester]

I'd guess it's just another brand using the same OEM has HF. They only way to be sure is to pop open the Quin and see if there are any OEM markings.

[@nodriveknowitall702]

I bought it when we last discussed it. Too bad you didn't test it at its lower range. It reads far below it's spec, and i was curious about the accuracy there. I might rig up something with some known weights and a little math but I'm too lazy to move sometimes. Checked it against two other lb in torque wrenches and was pleased to see that they both mostly agree. The Pittsburgh clicker style provided a little low in its upper ranges, but not enough to be concerned about. It agreed perfectly with a beam style I picked up.

[@jinchengyang5432]

Actually, this wrench adaptor with maximum accurate torque at 30(Nm) or 265.5(in*lb), its lowest accurate reading which is 20% of the maximum is about 6(Nm) or 53(in*lb). In the video he tested at 50(in*lb), and this is even lower than the adaptor's lowest accurate reading. (Hope i'm making sense here)

[@nodriveknowitall702]

@@jinchengyang5432 You made sense just fine. The adapter starts reading much lower than that, and I was interested in the practical accuracy in that region.

[@jinchengyang5432]

@@nodriveknowitall702 from what the manufacture says, the 0~30(nm) or 0~265(lb*in) adaptor starts reading at 0.3(nm) or 2.65(lb*in), and alarm starts from 1.5(nm) or 13.3(lb*in), but they didn't say what's the accuracy below its 20% maximum. I think if ur gonna need using torque reading below 20% max, u may just go buy a torque screw driver, or whatever it's called, i believe tt also made some videos on that as well.

[@nodriveknowitall702]

@Jincheng Yang Yes, I understand that. I was curious as to an instance of practical accuracy in the range where the manufacturer makes no guarantees. There are often cases where something functions just fine outside of a range, but it's not guaranteed because it's merely not tested.

[@jinchengyang5432]

@@nodriveknowitall702 i feel u. so from what i know, this adaptor is simply an extender w/ a strain gauge attached on its surface. i guess when the load is too small, the reading will be easily messed up by the temperature, unless they have a compensation algorithm for the change in temperature which i doubt.

[@bsowhat]

Can you test the Powerbuilt digital torque adapter? They claim 1% accuracy.

[@Tools-Tested]

I will add it to the list.

[@gtcam723]

Sadly it now appears it’s no longer available

[@Tools-Tested]

Looks like its available from a different seller amzn.to/4hxid32

[@mohamadrafiqrafi8980]

wisretec adq4-200 model.wht digit number start reading.can adq4-200 detect measure lower as 4nm.sorry idnt know speak in english.

[@whatfreedom7]

So is the Quinn just as accurate?

[@Tools-Tested]

Yeah they are basically the same thing, I tested all 3 of the Quinns in another video.

[@tommygomez5343]

Do you know if the Quinn measures degrees for torque to yield bolts?

[@Tools-Tested]

Sadly no, but the regular Quinn digital wrench and the icon do.

[@1k3nts09]

When I click link it has same partnumber you mentioned in graphics but the brand on Amazon is walfront and no mention of wisretec? just wanna make before I buy.

[@Tools-Tested]

Yeah thats the link I ordered from, said walfront but showed up as wisretec. I think walfront is the seller.

[@1k3nts09]

@Tools Tested oohhhh. That makes sense, amazon selling bs lol. thank you, sir for doing the lords work.

[@AdmiralXyes]

I own one of these adapters rated to 150 ft-lbs. I was recently torqueing down bolts that called for 200ft-lbs. I noticed that the display on my adapter would display torque values to about 190. I realize this isn't using the product properly, but I had no other torque wrench available so I ended up going for as close as I could get. Do you think I ruined my adapter and that I should toss it?

[@Tools-Tested]

Normally they are ok up to 200% of max scale before damage happens. But I would test it agents another torque wrench to be sure.

[@AdmiralXyes]

@@Tools-Tested thanks for the info. I actually did test it on 2 torque wrenches. One matched with the adapter. The other other didn’t but I think that other torque wrench is just broken.

[@mohamadrafiqrafi8980]

can it measure 2nm? or start from 10nm?

[@Tools-Tested]

2nm accuracy would be roughly 4%, its rated @ 2% from 6nm-30. So yes it can do it but don't expect 2%.

[@egzonsaidi4574]

Hello can 1/4 read about 30nm?because this is max 2-30nm!

[@Tools-Tested]

Hi, yes 30nm setting is max.

[@ryancasey4807]

Spelling error in the title just a heads up

[@justaguy4788]

wrenches, not wrench's wrench's implies the wrench owns something

[@neiliewheeliebin]

Amazing accuracy i'm honestly a little shocked

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep defiantly for the price.

[@maralsibiotech777]

Same factory, CHINA 😂🤣🤣😂

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep

[@piusjob3576]

Do not buy and here why. If you hit power and memory button at the same time the calibration of the tool is gone and the torque adapter is worthless junk. No recovery from that. It could be that you Push power and memory because buttons are to close to each other. Power and memory button are exposed and if you place the torque adapter on a bad spot it could be that Memory and power button are activated at same time. The result is always the same the calibration is gone for good and there is no info how to re-calibrate.
