[@Tools-Tested]

Yes it takes less force to loosen a bolt, this is only to test the rundown feature which claims it can achieve 100% of the torque. So if thats true set at 100Ft-lbs I should see near that not 32Ft-lbs, or 9 when its set to 25. Yes removal will always be less on most fasteners unless there is rust. This is not a normal bolt, Its a rundown fine thread loaded bolt.

[@tool.follower2813]

Another way to check. Take a digital torque wrench set well above what the bolt should be. Then KEEP TIGHTENING the bolt until is starts to give/move. Stop and look at the value shown on the torque wrench. You can mark the socket with a sharpie to make tracking easier. That gets around all the pesky bolt variables. Nice work overall!

[@Nivek_the_Relic]

There are several reasons a torque wrench can be out of range when you buy it, like was it dropped in transport? Did you hold the wrench still when it was turned on? Also, the run down function is not meant to set to the correct torque, it's supposed to get the bolt close, so you can finish by hand to the correct torque. Read the instructions. Also also, you didn't mention the last time your test rig was calibrated.

[@JeanBazan]

​@@Tools-TestedHi My friend which model of snap on TechAngle is Better than m12 Milwaukee?

[@darrellmorris5742]

I liked your video. I used to work for a small engine manufacturer and we always did our QA torque checks in the tightening direction. It's more accurate than in the reverse direction. The only way you can check for sure is to use a torque transducer on the tool while you're tightening because dynamic torque that the tool is reading is different than static torque needed to break away in one direction or the other. Found that last bit out the hard way.

[@Tools-Tested]

Thanks! Yeah definitely more accurate in the tightening direction, I now have an impact tester. I just need to buy another one of these and test it again, hopefully during Black Friday.

Good stuff

[@marcberm]

$700 to lease a torque wrench for 4k cycles? No thanks... Hard pass lol. It might seem ridiculous to do the nitty gritty math, but that's like $0.18 every time it clicks!!!

[@MetalStorm01]

All torque wrenches require calibrating after some use, lots of companies do it yearly, even on much more expensive tools.

[@toolscientist]

7:50 torque to loosen is always less than torque to tighten (without rust, etc). You should have done this test by hand tightening to 25 with all 3 wrenches and loosening with the snap-on, then you could make a decent judgment of the run down feature.

[@aesthetic_mfr]

This is important.

[@timmortimer19861]

You should perform a residual check that will give you the best indication of what the fastener is torqued upto

[@foxwood67]

Isn’t it like 75% of original torque to loosen it? Torqued to 100 takes about 75 to loosen.

[@toolscientist]

@@timmortimer19861 haha, yeah that's a much better way

I noticed that you did do loosen torque on the other tools. 😁. It looks close enough. Just set it a pound or 2 under for the first year then I bet it's fine after some wear.

[@timmyl2005]

but you shouldnt have to at that $$$$$ Price Point That is a down right shame.

[@TheKurtTribute]

Does having the test jig “arm” close the the inside edge of the handle (as opposed to the middle or outer portion where your hand would likely be) not change the reading?

[@Tools-Tested]

It looks close to the edge but its actually pushing at the center of the handle. But yes it could potentially affect the reading if you are not center on the grip.

[@DiligentDave1966]

I was pleasantly surprised and pleased the first time I used my Pittsburgh. I did a pretty thorough warm up before using it.

Then I put it back to the lowest setting before putting it back in the case. Despite many reviews that say it fails to click at low settings, mine clicked even at 20 foot pounds.

Milwaukee 'bout to burn down a whole Chinese factory now. That sucks. I thought it looked cool but seemed more like a industrial electricians torque wrench rather than a mechanics torque wrench so I didnt bother but foot pounds are foot pounds and this thing might as well be a super extended length overpriced Milwaukee M12 ratchet. Honestly i hope you just got a defective unit but in my opinion Milwaukee should have never started at this price point with this much tech. To my knowledge this is their first torque wrench, why didn't they start with a basic click one like Dewalt so they can work out kinks in their manufacturing?!

[@Tools-Tested]

Yep I agree they should have never started with this advanced of a wrench. It's weird to me they focused on electricians for this , I would have thought a bigger market would be mechanics. Hopefully I did receive a defective one and normally they are accurate as they claim.

[@Ghryst]

lets be fair here, backoff torque is not directly equivalent to tightening torque. takes less torque to undo a bolt that it does to tighten to that spec. that part of your testing was inaccurate. abetter test would be to try to continue tightening the bolt with another tool and, as an automotive tech, none of my tolerance specs are closer than +/-3%, and this tool is absolutely not designed for "mechanic" use. its made for high voltage electricians who generally use low torque values with somewhat looser tolerances. its really not far off +/-3%, so for my own use, this would be good enough. #ContextRequired
