I've never seen one of those before... looks awesome!

0-150ft-lbs. Looks like it'd work perfect with a 1/2-inch breaker bar.

It's a little more expensive than a normal torque wrench but the range (0-150ft-lb) and the cool fact kinda justify that extra cost

Yes, and it kicks ***. Used it to check out the accuracy of many other click type wrenchs with it. Very worthwhile tool, if you need to have accurate torques.

 

I used my shop teacher's Snap On one in High School. I guess you could get used to it, but I am so used to the click type.

 

between the handful of motors i've built i've never needed anything except my clicking torque wrench.. it's really up to you and whether you think it's worth the extra money.. if you need to be THAT precise then go for it but it's overkill for building honda motors imo..

That thing looks awesome. I guess you could buy that along with a breaker bar or two and avoid having to buy 3 different torque wrenches (one for inch/lbs, and two for the 0-100ft/lbs and 100-whatever ft/lbs).. cool idea.

 

We use the snap on version, they are definitely handy. It is nice to be able to read actual torque as opposed to waiting for a click. I think the only downside is using it in confined areas.
