• Convert any ratchet into a torque wrench
• Use as a calibration devise for existing torque wrenches
• 4 Torque measurement settings
• Light and audio notification when reaching specified torque
• Both peak and trace settings

No reviews yet, but looks like an interesting product. I'm wondering how accurate it is...

It seems that it's new on the market. I found references to it under the name of Allied, Powerbuilt, and Kingtool.

Here's an instructional video on Youtube:

I think the only thing new about this is that it is a lower end version released by Allied tool (the same people that make all of that Snap on labeled stuff you find every where but, on a Snap on truck). OTC and even Craftsman marketed versions of the same tool for years. I don't think they were real popular. At any rate, sometimes tools that you think would be a great multipurpose option, turn out to be turds instead.
However, I recommend that you buy one, test it out, and publish your experiences here.
