The working range of this SK torque wrench (5 to 75 Ft-Lbs) is very useful when working on my BMW & Volkswagen. The knurled handle has excellent grip and will not slip in your hands even when greasy. I especially like the audible click, which you can hear and feel when your torque setting is reached. It is quick and easy to change torque setttings by twisting the handle. The torque scales are embossed into the chrome body so they should be readable for many years of service.

I purchased this torque wrench for properly tightening cylinder heads and other components on a BMW motorcycle and am pleased and satisfied with the performance of the wrench. I would rate this wrench a 5 of 5 if the pull down locking collar was less sloppy and the ratcheting action was less sloppy. The impulse felt when the torque setting is reached is nicely sharp and positive. I believe this wrench is a good value for the money and I look forward to many years of service from it.

This is a nice tool for the price. Feels good in your hand, not some cheap knock-off. Accuracy seams to be there. I compared it to two other wrenches.

Very nice tool! I love the added flexibility of the flex head. Fit and finish is typical for SK, which is to say very high quality. The wrench has a nice solid feel to it when you reach the desired torque setting. The knurled handle is slip-proof, even when your hands are coated with oil. The locking ring has a little too much play to it, which takes away from the quality feel of this tool, but it functions perfectly. It's an expensive wrench, but it'll last a lifetime. No regrets with this purchase.
