Quality stuff, nicely made. The breakover wrenches have good repeatability with users of varying skill, that is, they'll give you the rated 6% accuracy even with a ham-fisted or inexperienced operator who will overtorque 99 time out of 100 with a click wrench. One thing to keep in mind with these you'll want/need a calibration unit (either a torque analyzer or PDA/transducer combo -- you can use these to test and certify the rest of your wrenches as well) as these are a single setting preset torque wrench, they are not "user" settable (a plus from a QC standpoint) without additional tools and training. Cheers, Ted @John

When it comes to torque wrenches, we require nothing less than dead-on-balls accuracy. Can you vouch for their calibration?
