Unitec 20809 Torque wrench with nuts (Automotive)

Customer Review

I bought with the torque wrench in order to change my car tires can.
Especially when it comes to torque wrench can be so incredibly much money to spend, which is of no interest for a private person who 2x takes him into the hands of a year.
From my profession I know her much more expensive torque wrench.
Where would we be also the first point. We check in our factory every few months the torque wrench, if they still bring their torque. So I took the key from Unitec times with the work and can prove it by a work colleague.

At a preset torque of 120 Nm at the set key value of the actually tightened torque by 10 Nm deviated. Say, at 120 Nm set you drew in the end to only 110Nm. This corresponds to a deviation of just under 9%.

The key of Unitec has a set screw that is hidden under a small cap. About this you can adjust the spring in the key at an angle screwdriver. This we did, and now he brings exactly the set 120 Nm.

Whether the key at a value of 210 Nm set has twice the same or deviation in torque, we have not measured.

Now you can as a private citizen his torque wrench not be measured in order to determine how exactly he attracts. But with a deviation of 9% at the 120Nm torque of 110Nm is sufficient still for wheel nuts. Who wants to go on no. Safe, provides a 10 Nm more, it makes you his wheel bolts or studs and not broken.

What I find beautiful, is that the key features at the handle end of a screw, through which one can find the handle. Thus, the set value, the adjusting the handle by turning on a scale and a vernier on the handle adjusts.

In my model is contrary to the photo of the handle in silver, not black. But otherwise the same.

The packaging was damaged with me, inside it is torn in one place. I do not even really care, just one is from the favorable tool boxes that are made of this cheap plastic.

Packaging is apparently a universal packaging, which is also used for other products. It offers space for another nut, although not included in this key.

The key feels otherwise surprisingly wertig at when considering the price. The small extension and the supplied nuts are also OK, but I would at tasks where one spends more power than, prefer other nuts with the torque wrench. But they're too sometimes not meant for more ...

All in all a great product that I would recommend to anyone. For this price you can not go wrong and makes the measurements show that the product is also perfectly technically ok and the price corresponding deviations supplies. I would recommend that key and also buy himself back.

I use the key with the "Proxxon 23938 Impact Socket Set, 1/2 inch, 3-piece 17, 19, 21 mm" to change my tire.
