Digital torque wrench ??

[threedogs]

Spied this digital torque wrench adaptor, and was wondering are they any good .
Has anyone got one, I use a warren Brown bent arm 1/2" unit, but this looks
interesting.

Digital has been around a long time. You can even get digital torques wrenches that vibrate do when in a noisy environment when you cant hear the beep you feel it.

I purchased one of these http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/ToolPro-Torque-Adaptor-Digital/377230 I'd really a proper torque wrench but i intensely dislike the gauges on most of them here in Australia (except the sidchrome ones with the clear window, but intensely dislike the $400+ price of those). I will be using this contraption in the next day or two and I will post my thoughts then. My Halfords ones back in the UK are a treat to use and I don't remember them being too pricey. I do love torque wrenches there is something very satisfying knowing you are doing something correctly, if only the tyre shops used them more instead of the rattle guns.

The Warren & Brown are bullet proof, as long as you remember to reset the trip each time, we see quite a few come in with damage on the ramp where they have not stopped & pushed the cone into the ramp.
I have not seen one of the digital adapters in the flesh, but would be interested to put one on the torque wrench tester if someone in Perth has one.
The tyre shop I use, uses a torque wrench for final torquing of wheel nuts.

You can never have enough tools in my books.
