Product Description
Product Description
This Draper 34570 3/8-inch square drive torque wrench has a reversible ratchet head. The nm and inch-pound scales are engraved on the barrel of the wrench for easy and permanent reference. The micrometer-type sleeve is easy to read and allows accurate pre-set torque values to be set. When the set torque is reached, the wrench produces an audible click and a slight, safe release of tension to prevent over tightening. The torque range is from 10-80 nm or 88.5-708 inch-pounds. The wrench, which measures 280 mm, has a knurled grip and adjustment. This product has been designed to be tough, durable and easy to use. It comes supplied in a blow-mould storage and carry case.

i have recently purchased this item through amazon,I'm an engineer and obviously use tools on a daily basis,we have a much more expensive torque wrench in the workshop, and have to say this draper unit is exceptional value for money.
quite a heavy item for it's size which is usually a good indication of tool strenth and quality, and setting the desired torque level is 'fairly' accurate and easily acheived.
i would definatly recommend this item for the diy car/bike mechanic

Just received my Draper torque wrench. Out of the box it looks good quality, box is more than ample for the job and the wrench is quite weighty suggesting good build quality. The mechanism which disconnects when you reach your torque rating is a bit vague and to be honest I can't be 100% sure it is disconnecting at the right place but I guess with use this will improve.
The one MAJOR problem with this torque wrench is the poor calibration from the box. There is no way of knowing whether the wrench is set at 10Nm or 20Nm, which is quite an issue. I have just phoned their technical line and they said these wrenches need sending of to be calibrated, which now reduces my happiness for grabbing what seemed to be a bargain.
This is my first torque wrench so cannot be sure how this compares to others, but I have used a lot of accurate measuring equipment at uni as I do mechanical engineering and this is by far the worst calibrated scale I have seen. I have ordered the Draper micrometer as well for more heavy duty applications and will post a review of that when I also receive that one.
On the whole seems decent enough quality for DIY applications but beware that the wrench will probably need calibrating at extra cost . . .
EDIT: After using the wrench for a few days and comparing to the micrometer Draper I have just received - the wrench probably won't need calibrating if you can deal with the dodgy scale. Just be careful to select the right setting. The micrometer wrench's scale is much better and lines up properly unlike this one. But the two wrenches torque the same suggesting they're calibration is reasonably accurate. So if like me you are using the wrench to torque up parts around an engine - having to get into the inlet manifold bolts etc this 3/8 drive one is probably a lot more suitable, but the micrometer version has a far more accurate scale.

I am very pleased with the quality of this torque wrench i went to halfords and they wanted £89 for a small torque wrench (i thought im not paying that sort of money). So went on here and saw a similar and in my opinion better quality torque wrench for more than 50% cheaper than the halfords torque wrench. The torque wrench feels very solid and theres a satisfying click when you reach your required torque setting. Setting the torque is very simple. 5 stars, high quality product for excellent prices like most draper tools i should think. Fast delivery too came two days earlier than estimated although i wasnt in at the time so had to wait in for it the next day.

I'm using it on motorcycles. It is simple to use and can easily be compared to much more expensive torque wrenches out there. Definitely very good value for money.
