Torque Angle Meter, 1/2" Drive Wrench Angle Gauge, 14" Flexible Clip Arm, CR-V Steel

I got this one because of what reviewers said of other products (even one product which I used to buy because although there stuff was not "Snap-On," it was good quality). I have few of their products that I've had for years. Some customers warned that their products have taken a dive in quality, and one person recommended this product. I just used this product today to torque my "Torque to Yield" (TTY) rod bolts. I'm having to work on this engine, on my back, with the engine still in the car. It's challenging. Using this tool was a pleasant experience. It's got a strong flex tube (or whatever the proper term is) and a strong clamp. They also include a couple of extra degree stickers if yours gets damaged. I try to keep my tools clean, but when you are working, looking up all the time, you can't help but to get some oil on the dial. I gently wiped the dial with a "blue shop cloth." I almost had to be a contortionist to properly torque 12 bolts "upside down." This tool did an outstanding job. Hint: Torque to 1st setting and then put a dot of paint on the rod caps or cylinder head, and a corresponding dot on the bolt. That's your "zero point." THEN you start the extra number of degrees that are called for. When you are done, you'll see the dots have moved by the number of degrees that you turned them. That way, you will NOT lose track of what you've done or which ones you've done. Proper torque is mission critical and the paint dots are an outstanding idea. Get one of those little parts paint markers. I got one here on Amazon. Just search for Forney Paint Marker. Good luck and this is a GREAT TOOL!!! Yes, I would recommend it to a friend, and in fact I have a friend who needs to replace head gaskets (on an engine that uses TTY head bolts). I'm going to direct him to this product!

I just finished replacing the left cylinder head on my Jeep Wrangler. The Mopar torquing procedure called for torquing each bolt 70 degrees, then another 75 degrees. I would never have been able to estimate these angels without this tool. It is well made and all metal construction. The ratchet attachment shaft appears to be alloy steel. Anyway, I put a tremendous amount of pressure on it with a 2-foot cheater bar.It worked great and the degree plate stabilizing arm worked fine - it was plenty stiff enough to hold the plate still. Be warned however that if the arm gets bumped in use, it will throw off the degree setting. The markings are pretty small -360-degree graduations on a 3" disc, so I marked the required settings on the edge of the disc with a marker.The only precaution I would offer is the need to apply light pressure on the socket, gauge, and ratchet, to remove the slack in the assembly, then set the pointer to zero degrees. If you don't, you can be off 10 degrees or more when you start torquing...The other reviewer's comments on damage to the degree sticker on the disc is a possibility, but you get two extra stickers with the tool. If you use it a lot, you could eventually lose the markings though.Anyway, I can highly recommend it - especially at that price point.

Easy to use. We have rebuilt a Ecotec 2.2 using this tool.

Bought to install numerous torque-to-yield fasteners on the suspension of my car. It works just fine. -1 star for the degree markings being on a piece of card stock, although spares were included. I will probably laminate one of the extras to protect it from getting stained.

I have already used this product already and it is very accurate to the degree. This product I received an extra degree stickers which you can stick on it if the other gets damaged or overused which is great. I would recommend this product over the one which has the plastic protector around the degree wheel which can be damaged or cracked them the part is useless.

It's better than it looks in the pics! The photos seem to show a cheaper version. The one I received has a knob made of steel instead of plastic, and also includes a magnetic base that can be swapped with the clamp. It also includes two spare stick-on labels to replace the dial face when it gets grungy. It seems well made. I'm happy so far.

This works so much better than the other type of mechanical angle meter with the 90° arm for the brace. This comes with the magnetic anchor as well as the clamp. I used the magnetic one for my application. It was excellent. Fast shipping,great value. Worked perfectly. I should have bought this type first. The other one is in the garbage.

it MOSTLY works. The thumb screw that's supposed to keep the needle from moving comes loose really easy, making it a little more challenging than it normally would be. Don't get me wrong, just using a dial angle gauge is a challenge to begin with (or maybe I'm just an idiot - both are equally probable).
