The reviewer discusses a basic torque wrench from TOOPRE (referred to as 'two pre' in the transcript). They describe it as a manual tool that provides an indication of torque by flexing a handle, rather than being a highly accurate click-type wrench. They test it on a stem bolt, comparing its indicated 6 Nm setting against a preset Park Tool torque wrench, and find it to be reasonably close. The reviewer positions it as a tool for home mechanics who need a basic guide to prevent overtightening, rather than for precision work.
AI-Summary
Pros
- Provides a good indication of torque to prevent overtightening bolts.
- Suitable for occasional home mechanic use.
- Comes with a selection of bits, including some Torx bits.
- The test showed it was reasonably accurate when compared to a preset torque wrench for a stem bolt.
Cons
- It is not going to be 100% accurate.
- It is described as 'nothing like' a digital or professional click-type torque wrench in terms of precision.
Key Points
- It is a manual torque wrench that flexes to indicate torque.
- The handle bends, and a scale shows the Newton meter reading.
- Tested by torquing a stem bolt to an indicated 6 Nm.
- When checked with a Park Tool preset torque wrench, the bolt was at exactly 6 Nm, suggesting the TOOPRE wrench was close.
- Intended to give people who don't comprehend torque an indication of how tight bolts should be.
