Thank you for your review. I bought one of these because it was the last one in stock, but I will return it after watching this. I'm most interested in the angle reading for some head bolts I need to install. I can't afford a Snapon, but I'll research Gearwrench or another brand more.
@@mijohnstFWIW I bought this tool for the angle 📐 feature as well. It was off by about 10-15 degrees. I used the fail safe method of marking my head bolts with marker. I will say some were dead accurate and some were off. The only thing this helped with was letting me know I was close and that was good enough for me.
Thank you for the helpful vid. I’m a tech aswell and looking into getting a 3/8” and 1/2” digital torque wrench for Subaru cylinder head-bolts, internals, camshaft carriers etc., are there any mid-tier level brands that you would recommend for critical engine bolts or mainly Snapon Tech-Angle? I was thinking of getting the 1/2” Kobalt digital which is essentially a clone of the Quinn but if it’s not accurate/reliable enough for professional work doing engine builds than I will look into other brands. I was also considering the 1/2” ICON digital as I already have there 3/8” and 1/2” split-beam which I have been impressed with there durability thus far. Thank you for your time.
Professional....yeah. I know plenty of "professionals" who need their tools taken away. A certificate from uti or a trade school does NOT MAKE YOU A PROFESSIONAL... Professional told me a car in our shop had no timing issue. Never took cover off crankshaft...what do you know. Chain chain tensioner gone. Cams still in time though...

Great review!

You can also mark the top of the head bolts for measurement. Most accurate and free method.
That's a good idea. I'll make sure to do that. Thank you! I wish I could justify buying myself a Snap-On.
@@mijohnstI’m the same way. Just too expensive for a hobby but man those tools are such a pleasure to use

Icon may be good. I know gear wrench makes a good reliable digital angle torque wrench. Same internals as the Mac/matco torque wrenches.

what does that have to do with this video?
@@Collindraker Bro was having a straight flashback 😂🤣
Agreed!
Speaking of professionals , I think this guy needs some professional help.
