Thanks so much for the excellent information, Pete. I've been thinking of getting an electronic torque wrench, but I think I'll go for one of these instead.

[@PetesGarage]

The work very well

[@pr1sm55]

Imagine that these would have cost thousands of dollars years and years ago. Now they're super affordable AND are absolutely precise. The way it works is the same it would work in a digital weight meter. It's a proven, very accurate and super simple mechanism used in various industries.

They are very affordable and accurate

Thanks for the info Pete. I didn't realize they made such a thing. 🤪

[@PetesGarage]

They are really handy to have

nice job pete

[@PetesGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@nikitagorodnov9044]

Hey Pete, was wondering if you know by any chance the inner working principle of torque adapter/transducer? Do they work as rotary torque sensor(transducer, without electrical interface) in terms of inner sensor chosage (strain gauge or hall effect sensors) and mechanical principle? Any respond would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've never taken 1 apart, now you have me interested in doing that….lol

[@nikitagorodnov9044]

I will be doing my project about it, so I was looking for some information regarding that. Well, when you decide to do so, I'll be there to watch :)@@PetesGarage

Make video use it to torque harmonic balancer

[@PetesGarage]

We will try

[@snower13]

They're so bulky. Someone needs to make a low profile/small one. Maybe a remote display/buttons. I know they make fully digital torque wrenches but do I look like I'm made of money?

[@PetesGarage]

These things are cheap, under $45 compared to hundreds for a good torque wrench

[@josehuerta73]

Mine quit beeping half way through a job 🫤 couldn’t figure out how to get it to beep again, I even took the batteries out and nothing. This was the first time using it too

[@PetesGarage]

I would email them, they will replace it

[@someone7507]

You can enable the beeping again by a combination of buttons. I am more reluctant when it comes to the precision of these things. A normal user cannot really test the accuracy of these things because you cannot do it with a normal torque wrench. And what if your torque wrench is good, but the adapter is not? You cannot tell that either. I guess i have my doubts also because mine came with scratches on the display which means it has been used before. So no idea how calibrated it acrually is.

@@someone7507 You could always visit your local snap-on truck and they'll check it and/or calibrate as needed. Tools Tested checked out the Harbor Freight one and found it pretty accurate. Really same problem with any TQ wrench...

[@huntercook6605]

@@someone7507 Oh wow, quick physics update...if you have a luggage scale or similar you can calibrate this (or any other torque wrench) with that. h/t Torque Test Channel, see their "You're using a torque wrench wrong" video from May 10, 2024, toward the end...right before they suggest using one of these adapters to calibrate, lol.
