For the torque wrenches is it better to have a larger drive or smaller drive? I see the 1/4 inch drive has a range of 20-200 ft. lb. while the 1/2 inch drive has a range of 10-150 ft./lb.

I've had all 3 of the HF torque wrenches for years and used several times with no issues. They are not going to be quite as accurate as some higher end brands but for 90% of what most people will use them for they are just fine. If you happen to be replacing a head gasket, then yeah, invest in a higher quality tool. I haven't really had issues with the click not being audible, but I'm sure lot depends on timing of when they were made, like most things. There are going to be winners and duds in every batch. Fact that you are even bothering to torque already puts you ahead of most folks. Can't tell you how many shade tree mechanics and even some professional ones I've seen who just crank until it "feels right".

\nI have used a few brands of this style torque wrench and they all tend to go weak Knee'd on the clicking if you are on a lower setting of the range but at higher settings, they are decent and easier to detect the click. For example, say the 3/8 5-80ft-lb - if set at 10 the click will be very weak or almost impossible to detect but at 70 much better. Sort of the nature of these. I tend to set them lower for the first pass then creep up on the end value so I am not missing the click. Some say to set them to the high value then to the low value to "prime" the click. For lug nuts in general, they work pretty great, for lighter stuff not so great. The HF handles are also kind of short IMO. But in general, I have had very good luck with them. I also run them backwards always before running them forward which tends to help the click. But I agree they can be difficult to detect.","hideTimestamp":false,"timestampFormatted":"01-19-2024 at 07:03 PM.","permalink":"/f/17242534-harbor-freight-coupon-free-item-with-39-99-purchase-for-itc-49-99-for-everyone-torque-wrench-dolly-angle-grinder-10mm-essential-socket-set-more-49-99?p=168800500#post168800500","postId":168800500},"commentSectionCommentFooter":[],"commentIsHelpful":null,"commentGiveRepPopover":{"username":"csl4424","userAvatar":"/images/avatar/sd/redesign/Comment-Box.png","headline":"Say Thanks & Give Rep!","subtext":"","authorText":"csl4424 posted this comment.

I haven't really had issues with the click not being audible, but I'm sure lot depends on timing of when they were made, like most things. There are going to be winners and duds in every batch.
