We use it for our lowered RX-7 race car. We abuse the hell out it and it just keeps coming back for more. Yes, HF sells some junk, but this jack is definitely not in that category.

I have both their 3/8" and 1/2" torque wrenches and they work just fine.

As long as you remember to reset them to zero to remove all spring tension when storing them, accuracy should be fine for a long time...

That's very interesting. I might have to check it out. I'm in need of a smaller torque wrench. I'd have to see how they tested it to make sure it wasn't just random error.

My experience is very so-so. I'm saved money, but also had them literally break in my hands during use.
