Recommendations for a torque screwdriver?

 

[MichaelP]

Wheeler is decent if the range suits your needs. I use it for firearms and related stuff.

Pb swiss

This Capri digi is very nice. (Rebranded Eclatorq, another company called Tapha also sells them for less, but they seem out of stock.) The torque range and accuracy of the digitals is unbeatable.

I have a full set of the Wera’s. They are probably the best bang for the buck. Even with the full range I believe they have a gap in coverage. PBSwiss is another great option. Tohnichi are also good as well.

How high do you need to go? For most people (IME), 50 in/lb is about the highest most people can handle as a screwdriver, without a T-handle or traditional "wrench" design.

How often? Beam wrenches basically never go out of calibration.

What kind of attachment? Hex, 1/4" dr, etc?

They’re branded “Gedore” now, but still the same tools.

I have several, superb quality and incredibly durable.

Sturtevant Richmont has quality options.

I have the CDI 3-15 in/lb and Proto 7-36 in/lb, but nowadays they are too ridiculous priced to consider, but they work real good. Like anything, I'm glad I purchased before covid ruined the world, as between the two i'm only invested $200 or so.

I thought Wiha was a player for these.

I have the HF Quinn. I checked it on a beam torque wrench and the one that I have is very accurate.

I would've liked a Wiha, but I couldn't justify the $ for something that I'll use very rarely.

I got a really good deal on the Wiha set, this one.

I was able to hunt up this old paper. Good stuff. 30% or more “data scatter.”

Maybe Quinn is good enough.
