"Only used it for a little while but so far so good."
"I regularly use it at the higher torque settings and it works great and is easy to use, see, and adjust."
"This is a really good wrench. I just did the job this week and used this to tighten the axle bolt to 140 lbs."
"One of the two retaining bolts at the head of the wrench fell out the first time I used it."
"This thing is one serious wrench."
"Good enough for what I need it for, which is primarily torquing lugnuts."

"still have no idea how accurate this thing is, but ive been able to use it for most major jobs on my vehicle--too big to use in tight spaces obviously but for anyting like axle work or suspension its great."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I needed a torque wrench to do work on our cars. Well, to be honest, I needed to do work on our cars, and decided that I "needed" a torque wrench. However, I was horrified to discover how little faith they have in some of their products these days; Craftsman's usual lifetime hand tool warranty does *not* apply to their to torque wrenches, and is instead replaced by a **90-day** warranty. That sounds like a trivial thing, but that one little change makes reading and setting the wrench infinitely simpler than on other tools. Anyway, I tried a couple of simple jobs with the new wrench, comparing it against a CDI wrench borrowed from work. I couldn't feel any discernible difference compared to the CDI wrench in terms of accuracy. Even on the more challenging 13 ft-lb setting (click torque wrenches being notoriously less accurate at the bottom end of their scale) I found no real difference in either wrench's behaviour. It appears to be accurate enough (with the usual caveats that apply to all non-beam torque wrenches at the bottom end of their range) when compared with a much more expensive wrench, and although I didn't need it for the pair of jobs I've done so far, the facility to switch between standard and left-handed tightening seems like a bonus compared with some wrenches in this price range that just can't do that."
"The knurled lock doesn't stay tight 100% of the time and sometimes I find my torque value has changed by a pound or two."
"Purchased this after snapping a banjo bolt while replacing brake lines on my car, using my "Great Neck" torque wrench I've owned for at least a decade."
"good tool. found mine with some imperfections on it, also there is openings where dust can enter it. other than that it is a great value, and solid torque wrench. i had to twist mine up to 55 lbs ft and work it up to break it in, like others said don't expect to make measurements near the upper limit of 80 lbs ft."
"Used it to torque up my lawnmower blade."
"Make sure you store it at the lowest torque setting otherwise it will weaken the spring and the torque values will be off."
"My first torque wrench, and so far, it's worked flawlessly."
"To be honest I was a little leary about buying a torque wrench sight unseen as I've never owned any Tekton tools much less seen one in use."

"A few were a little sticky right out of the package."
"They're not the quality of Starrett, but they're not the price of Starrett."
"Mostly met expectations...they continually shrank the dimension while tightening the thumb lock...so consistency was the saving grace...otherwise they never would lock onto the bore dimension for variable thumb screw tensions."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I have never owned a carbon fiber bike before and I just got a Cannondale HiMod Synapse Dura Ace Di2 - quite an investment - for my 50th birthday. So the journey to buy a torque wrench began - I poured over reviews on amazon for days/weeks before deciding to purchase the Park TW01 and 02. So, I got freaked out by any comment by any user that mentioned fears about calibration errors on new torque wrenches and this included the Venzo. I put it in my cart, but I just could not pull the trigger - that nagging doubt really stuck. I have used torque wrenches of this type before and didn't really like them - they are awkward in a LOT of circumstances, but I decided to just bite the bullet, better safe than sorry right? I went to the steering tube stem bolts, set the dial to 5Nm and turned - instant click (yessssss!). Let's hit the RD bolt - set to 8Nm and I have to turn slightly before the satisfying click - a little loose, but that is ok. Not fearful of damaging any thing here. I KNEW that I had not properly torqued those bolts with the TW02.... with the Venzo everything was SO much easier, less awkward, and I love the CLICK. I would say buy with confidence - I am sure the hard core Park Tool guys will sniff at this but meh..."
"I’ve used it a few times, and the “click” feedback when you hit the correct pressure is easily recognized."
