TEKTON Torque Wrench Review: Which Model to Buy

Setup & use · per the maker

• 10–100 ft-lb in 0.5 ft-lb steps, on a single-unit scale: there's no N·m marking, and TEKTON sells the metric range as a separate wrench.
• Rated ±3% clockwise and counter-clockwise, to ISO 6789-1:2017 and ASME B107.300-2021. The serialized certificate lists your wrench's own results at 10, 60 and 100 ft-lb, the test equipment and the conditions.
• Pull the locking collar down and hold it, turn the handle to the value on the main and micrometer scales, then release the collar and twist it to confirm it's locked.
• Set it to its lowest value before switching the ratchet direction, and store it at the lowest value printed on the handle body. Don't turn the handle below it.
• Don't use it to break fasteners loose or put an extension on the handle. Crowfoot and other offset adapters change the effective length, so the setting has to be corrected.
• The manual says to test it after any drop. TEKTON's warranty has "no time limits, no receipts", and its paid recertification service covers this model: $50 to recertify, $75 to recalibrate and recertify, within the United States.
• 90-tooth fixed head with a 4° swing arc. 15.6 in long, 1.8 lb, made in Taiwan.
• In the box: a case, the manual, the certificate and a 3/8-to-1/4-inch drive reducer.

What others found

It's a new model. Home Depot shows a handful of ratings but no readable review text, and we found no independent test, so this rests on TEKTON's published data and manual. Reviews you may find for the older 24330 or 24335 are a different generation of wrench.

• Pull the locking collar down and hold it, turn the handle to the value on the main and micrometer scales (1 ft-lb marks), then release the collar and twist it to confirm it's locked.
• Rated ±3% clockwise and counter-clockwise. TEKTON tests it at 40, 120 and 200 ft-lb, and the serialized certificate lists your wrench's results, the test equipment and the conditions.
• Set it to its lowest value before switching the ratchet direction, and store it at the lowest marked value. Don't turn the handle below it.
• Don't use it to break fasteners loose or put an extension on the handle. Crowfoot and other offset adapters change the effective length, so the setting has to be corrected.
• In the box: a case, the manual, the certificate and a 1/2-to-3/8-inch drive reducer. It's 19.1 in long, weighs 2.77 lb and is made in Taiwan.
• The manual says to test it after any drop. TEKTON's paid recertification service covers this model.

What others found

It's a recent model: we found no independent test and no owner reviews we could read, so this verdict rests on TEKTON's published specifications and manual.

• In the box: a case, the manual, the certificate, a 1/4-inch hex bit holder and a 1/4-to-3/8-inch drive adapter, which steps up to larger sockets rather than down.

What others found

It's a new model. Home Depot shows a handful of ratings but no readable review text, and we found no independent test, so this rests on TEKTON's published data and manual. Reviews you may find for the older 24320 are a different generation of wrench.

Setup & use · per the maker

• 10–100 ft-lb in 1 ft-lb steps, with three modes: torque only, angle only, or torque plus angle.
• Rated ±2% on torque and ±1% on angle, clockwise and counter-clockwise, to ISO 6789-1:2017 and ASME B107.300-2021. The certificate tests torque at 10, 60 and 100 ft-lb and angle at 45°, 90°, 135° and 180°. TEKTON states the angle figure at a reference of 90° at 30° per second.
• 90-tooth head with a 4° swing arc and a 15° flex. 20.0 in long, an effective length of 15.9 in, 2.71 lb, made in Taiwan.
• Backlit screen with large buttons, and feedback from lights, beep patterns and handle vibration as you approach and reach the target. Auto shut-off is user-set to 2, 5, 10, 30, 60 or 120 minutes.
• Runs on three AA batteries, not included. In the box: a case, the manual, the serialized certificate and a 3/8-to-1/4-inch reducer.
• There's no winding down to do: the manual says to store it in its case and take the batteries out for long storage. Don't use it to break fasteners loose or add an extension to the handle, and verify its accuracy after a drop. It's covered by TEKTON's no-time-limit warranty and its paid recertification service.

What others found

It's a new model. We found no owner reviews we could read and no independent test, so everything here comes from TEKTON's published data and manual.

Setup & use · per the maker

• TRQ61122: 3/8-inch drive, 20–100 ft-lb in 2 ft-lb steps, tested at 20, 60 and 100 ft-lb. 18.8 in long, an effective length of 15.6 in, 2.1 lb.
• TRQ62122: 1/2-inch drive, 50–250 ft-lb in 5 ft-lb steps, tested at 50, 150 and 250 ft-lb. 22.8 in long, an effective length of 19.2 in, 3.8 lb.
• Both are rated ±4% clockwise, to ISO 6789-1:2017 and ASME B107.300-2021, and calibrated across the full range rather than from 20% of scale. Each comes with a serialized certificate listing its own results.
• Both have a 90-tooth head with a 4° swing arc and a 10° flex. Each wrench's own product page lists a case, a serialized certificate and a drive reducer with it: 3/8-to-1/4-inch on the smaller wrench, 1/2-to-3/8-inch on the larger. The set page itself doesn't itemise them.
• TEKTON's split-beam manual says the wrench can be stored at any torque setting because there's no internal tension when it's at rest, so there's no winding down to do.
• Don't use them to break fasteners loose or add an extension to the handle, and verify accuracy after a drop. Both are covered by TEKTON's no-time-limit warranty and are on the list for its paid recertification service. Made in Taiwan.

What others found

This is TEKTON's new 90-tooth split-beam line and we found no owner reviews or independent test of it. Forum discussion you may find of TEKTON split-beams is about the older 72-tooth wrenches.

Setup & use · per the maker

• Three dual-direction micrometer wrenches: 20–200 in-lb in 1 in-lb steps, 10–100 ft-lb in 0.5 ft-lb steps, and 40–200 ft-lb in 1 ft-lb steps.
• Each is rated ±3% clockwise and counter-clockwise, to ISO 6789-1:2017 and ASME B107.300-2021, and calibrated at its lowest marked value rather than from 20% of scale, so the rating covers the whole scale.
• Each wrench has its own case and its own serialized certificate recording its results, test equipment and conditions.
• Also included: a 1/4-inch magnetic hex bit holder socket, a 1/4-to-3/8-inch adapter, a 3/8-to-1/4-inch reducer and a 1/2-to-3/8-inch reducer.
• All three have 90-tooth fixed heads with a 4° swing arc. Made in Taiwan.
• Store each at the lowest value printed on its handle, and set that lowest value before switching the ratchet direction. Don't break fasteners loose with them or add handle extensions, and verify accuracy after a drop. All three are covered by TEKTON's no-time-limit warranty and its paid recertification service.

What others found

These are new models and we found no owner reviews we could read and no independent test of the set, so this rests on TEKTON's published data and manual.
