CDI Computorq 3 torque wrench

[kippieland]

Anyone used one of these before? From what I have seen it looks just like a Snappy Tech digital torque wrench (which I know they own CDI), but I don't think it vibrates. Are there advantages/disadvantages (if any) over the clicker style wrenchs?

I would take this a heresay because I'm hardly a expert, but I always thought CDI made the snap on digital torque wrenches?

Here's the thing though snap on torque wrenches usually go for less than the link you posted on ebay so it might be something to look into.

They do make SO torque wrenches...but I think this one is missing some of the extra features...like the vibration.

I have looked on Ebay only found them the same price as this...and it was used. Thanks for the info.

Unless you are doing torque to yeild bolts, I think a digital torque wrench is overkill. That said, I would not be without my two techangles.

Thanks. My brother-in-law who is tech, just went on and on about how awesome the digitals are.

Digitals are nice and I really like mine. The one thing in the back of mine is how long they are going to last. I was talking about this with Snappy and he said that the first one from 10 years ago are still going strong and the failure has been very low. I know he is a straigt shooter, but I just wonder when the day will come that I have a breaker bar I paid lose to $500 for.

So what exactly makes them nicer? If you think about it a clicker won't last forever..
