Torque Angle Meter, 1/2" Drive Wrench Angle Gauge, 14" Flexible Clip Arm, CR-V Steel

I just finished replacing the left cylinder head on my Jeep Wrangler. The Mopar torquing procedure called for torquing each bolt 70 degrees, then another 75 degrees. I would never have been able to estimate these angels without this tool. It is well made and all metal construction. The ratchet attachment shaft appears to be alloy steel. Anyway, I put a tremendous amount of pressure on it with a 2-foot cheater bar.It worked great and the degree plate stabilizing arm worked fine - it was plenty stiff enough to hold the plate still. Be warned however that if the arm gets bumped in use, it will throw off the degree setting. The markings are pretty small -360-degree graduations on a 3" disc, so I marked the required settings on the edge of the disc with a marker.The only precaution I would offer is the need to apply light pressure on the socket, gauge, and ratchet, to remove the slack in the assembly, then set the pointer to zero degrees. If you don't, you can be off 10 degrees or more when you start torquing...The other reviewer's comments on damage to the degree sticker on the disc is a possibility, but you get two extra stickers with the tool. If you use it a lot, you could eventually lose the markings though.Anyway, I can highly recommend it - especially at that price point.

Works well as designed. Easy to use. Well worth the money!

The VASTOOLS Torque Angle Meter, 1/2" Drive Wrench Angle Gauge provides good value for tightening torque-to-yield bolts and other fasteners that have angle offset tightening requirements. The tool has slop, however. Properly turning a fastener an angle offset is nuanced. You have to take up all the slop in the tool stack setup by applying slight tension to the whole tool stack THEN read or set the initial angle THEN turn the angle offset. The tool's slop makes you, the mechanic, take extra steps to ensure an accurate angle offset for your fastener.

I got this one because of what reviewers said of other products (even one product which I used to buy because although there stuff was not "Snap-On," it was good quality). I have few of their products that I've had for years. Some customers warned that their products have taken a dive in quality, and one person recommended this product. I just used this product today to torque my "Torque to Yield" (TTY) rod bolts. I'm having to work on this engine, on my back, with the engine still in the car. It's challenging. Using this tool was a pleasant experience. It's got a strong flex tube (or whatever the proper term is) and a strong clamp. They also include a couple of extra degree stickers if yours gets damaged. I try to keep my tools clean, but when you are working, looking up all the time, you can't help but to get some oil on the dial. I gently wiped the dial with a "blue shop cloth." I almost had to be a contortionist to properly torque 12 bolts "upside down." This tool did an outstanding job. Hint: Torque to 1st setting and then put a dot of paint on the rod caps or cylinder head, and a corresponding dot on the bolt. That's your "zero point." THEN you start the extra number of degrees that are called for. When you are done, you'll see the dots have moved by the number of degrees that you turned them. That way, you will NOT lose track of what you've done or which ones you've done. Proper torque is mission critical and the paint dots are an outstanding idea. Get one of those little parts paint markers. I got one here on Amazon. Just search for Forney Paint Marker. Good luck and this is a GREAT TOOL!!! Yes, I would recommend it to a friend, and in fact I have a friend who needs to replace head gaskets (on an engine that uses TTY head bolts). I'm going to direct him to this product!

It’s easy to use and didn’t have any issue with it. Highly recommend this one vs the other ones priced higher

Did what I needed it to do

What can I say, I had no idea that degrees was an appropriate torque setting. This did the job but was quite awkward to use. I had to torque the head bolts on a 5.3l chevy V8, while still in the vehicle. At least a couple of the bolts were difficult to get to and they were more difficult to torque down, especially when I had to add the extra "degrees" after the initial foot pound setting. It did the job for the most part.

This tool works as it's supposed to and is a great value for the money. That said, by it's very design it is difficult to use, requires at least 2, if not 3, people to use it and is next to impossible to use with any true precision. The engineers that thought this one up had to have been halfway through happy hour.

Worked well.

Goose neck keeps coming loose. needed to add a little thread locker. Make sure to clamp securely. It came with a couple extra dial stickers, so you can mark them up and get the proper angle every time.

The clamp is a little loose and doesn’t like to grab on to things too well but it is alright for the price. Otherwise it’s durable and easy to use. I’d recommend the Lisle one instead if you need something better.
