Have 1/4 microtorque, 3/8s and 1/2in techangle Fantastic products Not something that’s used every day but something you’re glad you have when you need it

I just got one of these and once you've used it, you'll wonder how you ever got by without it. I'm used to the old torquemeter dial type so this was a big change for me but glad I did it...

Piece of high-price junk. I have a 1/4", 3/8", and a 1/2" Techangle and 2 of them have exactly the same problem.. Both the 1/2" and the 3/8" worked for about 2 years of very light use and then quit working. The problem were the ground wire that runs from the circuit board to the brass screw down cap. It got undone and will turn itself off in the middle of torquing down a fastener. Send them back to Snap On for service and it worked for another 6 months and the problem re-appeared on both of them. Finally did my own teardown to address the problem and sure enough found the ground wire to be loose on both of them. Try to re-solder the connectors and it was a frustrating task because working on soldering these electronics parts is not an easy task for any mechanic who is not skilled in micro-electronic soldering without making a mess. The factory uses spot soldering, but it would be a bitch for the home mechanic to try to work on these task. So after paying royally for these torque wrenches and sending to Snap On for service which again being charged royally because it is out of warranty and then spending time and effort trying to rectify it myself, I finally gave up and throw these away.. Snap On might be the premier hand tool brand but when it comes to electronics, IT SUCKS BIG TIME.

Ditto on this. This has been my exact experience on this unit. After light use mine started shutting off while torqueing stuff so I sent it in. Paid to have it repaired. Then probably used it 10 times. Same thing happened again. I think I am going back to clickers. So pissed about it. When they work they are really nice. But they only work for a while before they don't.

Wow, I was really considering one of these units but reading stuff like this is not exactly confidence inspiring. I accept that things can happen, but geez...

I hope these are better than the CDI version, because the mechanism in the ratchet head of the CDI's is known to leave the factory without any grease causing the head to bind up under load. Mine does that.

Should I get the 3/8” (5-125 ft-lb) or 1/2” (12.5-200 ft-lb) for timing belt job? I originally thought the 1/2” is too long to work under the car (without lift) and not as frequently used than the 3/8”, but don’t know if the shorter 3/8” is sufficient to torque down the crank shaft of my Acura....

I have this in 3/8" & 1/2" drive, they're great. But what about the 1/2" 50-250 ft. lb click-type torque wrench? Whenever I try to research that torque wrench I see TONS of SnapOn bashing about it. People say it is no different than others in terms of accuracy and reliability. They say it's a way over priced tool that is only mediocre at best. I have even seen a video saying Harbor Freight was better! The multi million dollar SnapOn Company does not do anything in its defense to protect its reputation. Many written posts & blogs say they are made by CDI and only the ratcheting head is the only difference. With all the money SnapOn has and a reputation to uphold and protect WHY don't they do a total breakdown of the tool? Show all of the internal parts, the clicker, the spring, ratcheting head, everything. If I never see an actual reason to believe that the 1/2" drive 250 ft. lb. maximum click-type torque wrench is superior to say Precision, Tekton, or even CDI why should I spend $200 or even $300 dollars more on it?

707SonomaComa Snapon owns CDI. The wrench IS made by Snap-on essentially. Why it’s better then the others; it’s USA made in California (not cheap) With regards to why the tool is worth the extra investment, that is up to your Snap-on franchisee to communicate. No other digital wrench is as nice as the ATECH series. The mechanical click type are very similar designs to others. The extra cost is in the quality of the internal parts, spring, sear points, handle and the premium Snap-on ratchet head. They really hold up and age quite well in my experience. I’ve seen some click type Snapon’s that are 30 years old and still going strong. Just my two cents.

@@michaelperpich9831thank you for your reply. I know SnapOn owns CDI and there are many roomers about that. Some say CDI it is its own company and they do what they want, SnapOn just owns them. Others say SnapOn runs and oversees the entire operation. I have never seen a total breakdown of a SnapOn click-type 1/2" drive torque wrench to SEE why it's any better. Or is it better? What's so great about it? Let's see...
