Yeah, there's not many channels that I trust for authentic reviews. I think it's impossible to remain unbiased unless the reviewer buys the products themselves.
@@sheltermonkey6065 yeah and some get so much free stuff they really don’t have the time to really use the products for any long term either. Thanks for the video!
Would it be suitable for mounting rifle scopes? Those operations are very sensitive, a squashed scope can mean big $$$ in lost value. Also: If yes, what set of bits would be good for that purpose?
You have to consult the manufacturer's instructions for the mount to find out the recommended tightening torque. The Felo torque limiting handles are easier to use than this Wera, so I recommend the Felos. They have 3 different variants that cover different torque ranges. But you have to check what your fastener torque specs are. When you buy a Felo handle, you should also get the 1/4" Bit-Holding Blade. As for 1/4" bits, any of the German brands bits are good, Wera, Wiha, or Felo. Quality bits are only a few dollars.
@@sheltermonkey6065 Thx, but the most suitable Felo I can find has a span of 1.5 - 3.0 Nm and I'd like to be able to go to around 1.1 -1.2 Nm for aluminum
@@byronbrimstone5163 There is also the Beta 583 series with three models with different range: 0.3 - 1.5 N, 0.6-3 Nm or 1.2 - 6 Nm. USAG 824 A: 0.5 - 2.5 Nm (there is also a 2 - 10 Nm). TecnoGi has the model 803 with range 0.5 - 3 Nm, the 806 1 - 6 Nm (and the 801 0.1 - 1.2 Nm).
The Wera chuck doesn't care. It's not a Wera bit anyway. I think the only way it would matter was if the bits were diferentially heat treated. Thumbs up for your eagle eyes though!
Hi. I have no idea what your needs and usage cases are. Felo makes torque screwdrivers which are less than half the price of the Wera's. The Felo's cover the range 0.6 Nm - 1.5 Nm, 1.5 Nm - 3.0 Nm, 3.0 Nm - 5.4 Nm. I needed the lower torque range of the Wera for certain applications.
Hi. I'm not sure what you mean by a torsion screw. Also what materials are involved? (steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum) And what grade? And what kind of lubricant?
There is no need to store tools at their lowest setting. The spring does not loose its force over time. Actually backing them off is more likely to wear out the adjusting mechanism. I find it takes a while for a tool to settle once you calibrate it. If you always use a tool for the same setting, you should just leave it there. My company checks its tools weekly. They don't move.
"The spring does not loose its force over time." Actually springs do (at least metal springs), but the amount of relaxation is very dependent on stress and temperature, and also on the manufacturing process. I don't disagree with you that preserving the adjusting mechanism may be a more important issue. This is from the Wera manual: "Attention! If the adjustable torque screwdriver is out of use for a longer period, then turn the wrench back to the smallest adjustable torque value to reduce unnecessary stress of the spring mechanism" Thanks for commenting.
The Wera torque screwdrivers that I find in european market, at least the 7441, 7460, ... of 7400 series are made in Czech Republic. I don't know if they also are manufacturing it in their plant in Taiwan,
Outstanding! I use this tool infrequently and can never seem to remember how it works. This helped me a great deal. Thanks!
Thanks for the explanation, I just got this model and instructions are not that good! This helped me a lot!
You're welcome! It was a bit confusing at first.
Wow someone who actually paid for the product they are reviewing! That’s rare these days.

Good job. Could not for the life of me figure this adjustment
Perfect thanks
I enjoyed hearing the rain.
I actually try not to film when it's raining, but rain is just about a daily occurrence here.
excellent video
Thank you!
thanks brooooo
clear, thank you very much
Thanks!
hi :Is this product suitable for 18 inch/IBs?
thank you, this was what i was looking for... the datasheet is not very clear about it.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

@@byronbrimstone5163 That's the middle one. The lowest range FELO Torque Limiting Handle is 5.3-13.3 in/lbs (0.6-1.5 Nm).
@@sheltermonkey6065 Not happy with the Nm-range I need being divided between two different ones. It's a hassle.
@@byronbrimstone5163 There is also the Beta 583 series with three models with different range: 0.3 - 1.5 N, 0.6-3 Nm or 1.2 - 6 Nm.

Thanks for this video. I don't know why but they made the super confusing and not standardized.
You're welcome. The Wera instructions are very lacking, but I did confirm the operation of the torque screwdriver with them.
Haha I think you have the bit inserted the wrong way, it don't matter because its 1/4" both sides but the notches should probably go inside the tool.
The Wera chuck doesn't care. It's not a Wera bit anyway. I think the only way it would matter was if the bits were diferentially heat treated. Thumbs up for your eagle eyes though!
Good video mate, I was put off this tool a bit by some saying it wasn’t adjustable and you need a nut spinner etc!!
Thanks. You have to be careful which exact model you are buying.
Is it worth the pricetac 225 GBP for set with from 0,3-6 nm?

Excruciating.
Für zu Hause zu teuer. Da über Lizenz in China hergestellt.........
If you know of a cheaper option in the same torque range, please speak up.
The price for this tool is too expensive , you can get a good cordless impact driver for this price !
This is a specialized tool for specialized applications. I don't know of any other good options for low-torque-range torque screwdrivers.
Actually it has a very good price in compare of other Adjustable Torque Screwdriver. all of them are uper than 150$.
Chinese made product, Chinese instructions.
Where did you get that idea?
The Wera torque screwdrivers that I find in european market, at least the 7441, 7460, ... of 7400 series are made in Czech Republic.

The 7460 sucks
We’re sucks, 7460 worst design ever
Worst design ever why?
No offence but with pretty hand like yours dont make videos on tools make on devices or smth
Thanks, but someone needs to keep the McLarens running.
Some of us wear gloves and use lotion, smh
