I purchased this torque wrench to fill a void in my line up. I required a 25 ft lb torque on a bolt and had wrenches for up to 250 in lb, and then from 50 ft lb up. This wrench is definitely a good purchase. The digital action of it is very nice - it counts up as you torque so you know how close you are. Once in range, the LEDs light up orange, and then when on target, it sounds a beep and lights green. Fool proof.The unit is very well made and, as I found perusing the Snap-On catalog, they offer a similar range model 0-100 ft lb. Looks similar, except the CDI unit is about $200 cheaper :) It even came with a specification sheet and all. I have no bad things to say really. I do have some input, though.I had an issue on my first torquing procedure. I set the wrench to 45 ft lb and proceeded to torque - it torqued it up to the limit just fine and I felt confident in the reading. Then I went to do the next bolt and the wrench wouldn't ratchet. Nothing. The selector was locked too. At first I thought maybe this is to prevent movement? Then I realized no, it's just stuck. I fiddled with the selector and it freed up and the wrench would ratchet again. But, then I free-turned the socket and it felt a little jammy. So, took the wrench to my workbench and removed the two torx screws holding the oil plate on. I could see the ratcheting mechanism was just barely bound on itself. I freed it and removed the square drive gear. I could see the issue, I believe. The issue is that whatever lubricant is being used at assembly is gelling up and becoming quite thick. I removed a piece of lube with the consistency more akin to silicone than grease. I picked it from the gear and dabbed it to a towel and it maintained its shape - not exactly ideal for lubricant. I wiped it out with a lint free cloth and lubricated it with my choice of Redline CV2 grease and fresh differential oil (75w90). I dab some axle grease on the pawl and then dribble some diff oil on it, then re-assemble, and add a few drops of diff oil again. Make sure to get the oil on any surface that slips. Then, buttoned it back together and it's been perfect since.So, they could spend the extra 20 cents of time putting in better grease. There was literally nothing to wipe up as the grease they used was practically a soft piece of rice. I will be torquing some more bolts tomorrow though I do not suspect I will have any issues. So, if you do buy this wrench you might consider re-greasing the ratchet head. Don't be put off by it, it's fool proof! This model has a pawl that is screwed down so no springs or balls or pawls will go flying across your shop. Just lift out the square drive, clean it out, and lube it back up, and re-insert the square drive. Couldn't be easier.The only other feedback I have is that it would be nice to have slightly finer teeth, though that may result in how much torque the wrench can or cannot hold. I would say that this unit probably has about 60 teeth based on my other ratcheting tools. It would help with the angle required to ratchet, though with a torque wrench you generally want to sweep into the torque without ratcheting. Just a thought.

I did a lot of searching for a good Digital Torque Wrench. After searching every brand I decided on the CDI one. Basically CDI makes Snap-On Torque Wrenches and re-badges them. That in itself should give you an idea of the quality of this wrench.I've used this many times and torquing many things.A few of the positive things:Easy to useDigital and easy to read.Easy to switch between NM and lbs.Very low torque range and pretty high range - (5.0-100.0 Ft/Lb / 120-1200 In/Lb / 13.6-135.6 Nm)Angle head (surprisingly very useful)Soft grip handleSolid constructionNegatives:Non-lit display (would be nice to be back lit)Battery removal (not easy due to screw, however it is also very secure)CR123 Batteries (pro or con, but more expensive and harder to find)Although there are con's, some of them could be considered positive.For example the screw to hold in the battery will never come loose.CR123 last much longer than other batteries.Overall for the price this is one of the best Torque Wrenches you can buy.It also comes in a nice solid case.**UPDATE**One other negative is that if you are working in a loud/noisy environment it is hard to hear the torque warning. I saw other brand torque wrenches vibrate and make noise. That would have been a nice feature.However this does have a LED light which is helpful.

I've been around long enough to know when to buy quality. And when a Mfg reccommends exact torque specs on my motorcycle brake calipers I'm not messing around. Sure the cheap stuff is good enough for most common tasks but when you want exact torque specs then products like CDI are well worth the money. Upon first feel I knew it was a quality tool. I'll be able to pass this down to my children and know it will work as good then as it does now. The case is sturdy and the tool just feels solid and instructions are easy to understand. I can ride my motorcyle knowing everything is torqued exactly as the mfg intended. Like I said when it counts always buy quality over cost.
