Nice wrench we never put alkaline batteries in ours because they leak we use lithium AAA because they don't leak like the alkaline when they die just a quick tip thanks for all you do
Yes, but when used while loosening, it will tell you the torque the nut was at before it starts to loosen, which is helpful if you don't know the original spec so you can tighten it back to original
One thing I learned a while ago is that the click-type torque wrenches like the Park Tool will only be accurate if you old it the correct way. Which means that if you hold it all the way out on the handle, or all the way in to the ratchet, it will click at a different torque than what the dial says. Most manufacturers therefore specify where to put the hand. Is this digital torque wrench the same?
Curious …did you check the accuracy with another ‘known’ torque wrench ? Also I check mine once in awhile. I found my automotive torque wrench was off my 2lbs at 30ft/lbs.
I'll stick to my Park torque wrenches. How do you know how well calibrated this digital torque wrench is and you didn't mention if the torque is zero when powering off.
Just purchased the Vanpo. I checked the accuracy by hanging a 10 lb. weight at 10 inches from the center of the square drive. Did the math (10/12) * 10). The wrench is off by 1 lb. Ten percent error is quite a bit. Wonder if it's adjustable or if I should just return it. Thanks for the vid. Rick
That is interesting. I’m wondering if there is a machine shop nearby you where they could do a more scientific check on it. I also may see if there’s one near me to do the same thing. If I find one I’ll post a video about it for sure.
@@ClintGibbs Hey Clint. Thx for the reply. You don't need a machine shop to check it. You can DIY. I used a postal scale to measure the hanging weight. Put the wrench in your vise and measure out 10 inches from the center of the socket connection. Use a highly accurate scale to weigh out 24 lbs of water in three plastic jugs. Tie them together using the handles with strong cord or string. Put the wrench in track mode and hang the water at the 10 inch point. The wrench should read 20 lbs. Mine read 22.48 lbs. Off by 12.48%. Earlier I measured 8.65 lbs. (weird barbells) and it measured 9.54. Off by 10,28%. Surprisingly, I purchased a Quinn torque adapter at HF for $30 (25% coupon) and it measured the 8.65 at 8.5 (1.7% off) and exactly 20 lbs at the higher weight. I'm probably going to return the Vanpo and figure it was just defective. I'd really like you to measure yours before I order another one. Don't want to order another one if they're all off by that much. Thanks for you help. Rick
Clint. I returned the defective wrench and ordered a new one. Came yesterday. This one seems spot on. Turns out that Vanpo has two models of the same wrench. My first one was the one with the backlight button, no memory functions and came with an extension and socket adapter. My new one and yours is the model without the backlight button, memory functions, no extension or adapter and a different head. Don't know if that was an issue or the first one was just defective. Rick
The torque wrench from park tools require you to bring it back to 2 setting after each time your done , so the calibration doesn't get messed up, is this true for this one also ?
@@ClintGibbs ok thank you. It seems like if you had none, would you get this over the park tools 5.2 ? Personally this seems better, bc you dont have to reset it.
Every torque wrench requires calibration every 1 or 2 years depending on the usage. The problem with VANPO is they seems not to have a website, no contact address so not sure if they are a legit company anyway. No user manual to download, no way to calibrate this yourself, while there are tons of UA-cam videos explaining how you can calibrate common mechanical "click" type torque wrenches yourself or even bring it to any local company that does torque certifications to industry standards. This seems not possible with these VANPO torque wrenches. I Googled VANPO but it looks like they are not a real company or brand.
I have the green koeorws brand looks exactly the same and the buttons are the same. Thanks for this vid.
Helpful. I always mentally have trouble trusting the traditional click style ones, even though I know they are supposed to work, lol.
thank you very much for well-made and informative review.
The 2 clicks still satisfying tho.
Nice wrench we never put alkaline batteries in ours because they leak we use lithium AAA because they don't leak like the alkaline when they die just a quick tip thanks for all you do
Thanks for the information, great video easy to understand and straight to the point
And im loving it works great.
Nice. I think usually they're just used for tightening. This one, both tightening and loosening. Store at lowest setting/tension.
It's digital. Just turn it off
@@jamesmedeiros2784 Even with digital.
You're not winding tension onto a spring with a digital wrench. It's a strain gauge and some electronics. But you go ahead and keep doing it

Not really sure but I can test it with that in mind

Based on your comment, I just shot a video comparing it to my Park wrench. I’ll upload it in a day or two. OK now, who’s your favorite UA-camr? 😂
@@ClintGibbs based on your findings I may have to get this wrench….I don’t need it…but……🥹
A perfectly accurate torque wrench can still be way off on achieving correct bolt tension.
I don’t see your Amazon afilliated link.
Neither do I!
Hey bruh, where's the link my bro?
It’s there now, or just click here

I’m posting a follow up video tomorrow that will probably answer your questions

How do you set degrees? 😢
Hello Clint, did you ever used the Vanpo for a 40Nm torque? How do you judge the use of this torque wrench in the 25Nm to 40Nm range? Thanks!
I did, and it seem to work just fine but I did not compare it to the park tool wrench.
Great! Thanks!

No, because it’s digital
@@ClintGibbs ok thank you. It seems like if you had none, would you get this over the park tools 5.2 ?

I don't understand where I can get torque value for bolts?
www.bikeride.com/torque-specifications/
I want to know if anyone knows how to reset the erO message? Which mean it exceeded 120% of max torque at least once
Have you verified its reading against your Park tool wrench?
Trust but verify my bro. 👍

Great tool, but im not paying 30 extra bucks for it on Amazon.
