No surprise to see this tool on the podium as it shares many of the advantages of our winner. The scales are the same and easily adjusted via the comfortable handle – there’s no cold, rough knurled metal here. The higher range meant it was a little further off in the accuracy test, but still pretty close and well within tolerance. Extra length means this is the tool if you regularly need to hit high torque settings. Like its sibling, it comes with a calibration certificate.
