Digital Torque Wrench Adapters? (1 Viewer)

[120mm]

So... I've been out of the wrenching bidness for a few years, and I've suddenly discovered the new digital torque wrench adapters.

Anyone else have experience with these?

I'm about ready to ditch my el cheapo Harbor Freight click type and get something different. These seem intriguing in their possibilities.

i don't know what the adapter part is, but i have a 1/4 inch digital Snap On torque wrench $. It shows how close you are getting to your torque then beeps and vibrates. It also does angle but for a 1/4 inch its really big. I also have a 3/8ths Snap On click type that feels just as solid to me. I would go with a nicer brand click type then a cheaper brands digital.

Do you get your Snap On torque wrenches calibrated? If so, how often?

I see the digital adapters as useful in maintaining calibration for the cheaper click types. Kind of like using two balance arm torque wrenches to self-calibrate, if you know how to do that.

i bought the digital one new, so no i haven't. and i got the mechanical one for free but it was brand new. (lucky) i don't know the answer, but I've compared them at work with other peoples. obviously you zero them out once your done. the digital one does it on its own
