I know this videois a couple years old but I am glad I found it. I was just getting ready to buy a 1/2" split beam and had talked myself out of the Icon for the Tekton but after watching this Icon it will be. Very good video.
The Tektons actually seem precise, just calibrated too low. Shows why we shouldn't blindly trust a factory calibration, too many variables, conditions, shipping, storage, etc. Thanks for the great vids.
Icon has the same problem with some not being calibrated correctly. You just have to return them for one that is properly calibrated. Tekton’s are usually right on the money to their variable allowance. Never be afraid to buy a Tekton tool. Their customer support is incredible. They care about the quality and performance of their tools.
Happy this helped, I do wish the results were different though. I had high hopes seemed like it was going to be a sweet setup being the kit had 3/8 and a 1/2.
Seeing this makes me want to buy the ICON 1/2 Split Beam on this weekend's 20% off sale. That way I don't have to break out the ICON digital for lugs and stuff like that. Amazing that Harbor Freight puts forward so many good offerings in this space.
Another great video! As you probably know, Precision Instruments has 3/8” versions in 10-50 ft.lbs and 20-100 ft.lbs; they also have these same wrenches in metric and in.lbs variants. I already have the 1/2” PI, but wish I had the Icon instead because of the 90-tooth ratchet head. I want to get a 3/8" 10-50 ft.lbs split beam, and like you, I want HF to release an Icon version.
Thanks! Yep, Snap-on also has 3/8 but man it’s pricey at 399.99…. Hopefully HF will have a 3/8 it looks like they have been releasing a lot of tools lately. 3/8 at 99.99 would be sweet!
I had the same thought as you, i wanted a split beam 3/8 cause I have nothing in split beam. But I will wait. I still have a 3/8 Snap-on till i find something ! Nice video to the point and showing the numbers for some of us makes a difference .
I bought one of the Icon torque wrenches based on your testing. I was also impressed by the case that came with it. Be interesting to compare those as well.
What surprises me the most is how many torque wrenches still use a low tooth-count ratchet head, including Snap-On at 36 tooth from your previous split-beam video. I see your comment from 5 months ago where Tekton upgraded to a 72 tooth head. Based on your testing, as well as what I see on other channels, he ICON brand continues to astound me. It seems HF is doing two things here: building quality torque wrenches AND forcing other companies to catch up a bit! Great channel - thank you!
Yep my thoughts exactly, I know most want to hate on HF but when it comes to torque tools and even Icon its surprising. Im not saying everything is good, they sell a lot of junk as well. Im really curious how the new Hercules line performs, the extreme batterys have Samsung cells and are decently priced compared to other manufactures. Thanks! No problem!
I like your videos man. But I must say, it's wild how you're selling people on the Icon split beam 1/2 torque wrench being comparable to snap-on. It's not really close at all. You left out important details. Let me explain. Firstly I own a lot of gearwrench and Mac and other Taiwanese made tools. And I love them. Not everything needs to be snap-on. Now, that being said when it comes to Torque wrenches, snap-on is the best. again, please, let me explain. I have the 1/2 split beam from snap-on in green. And 2 Snap-on Tech-Angles. One 3/8 and one 1/2. All 3 Torque wrenches not only torque on fasteners but they also torque in reverse. For left hand thread. The Icon does not. Also, my snappy's account for deflection angle and degrees. Icon does not. Also very important to mention my snap-on warranty is 1 year full replacement no questions asked. After that, I still have service. I can have my snap-on guy re-calibrate it for free. And he comes whenever I need him to. Anytime. If it requires more than that, I can have it sent to snap-on to be rebuilt. So it's not accurate to say the icon has a better warranty. What if Harbour Freight doesn't have any in stock? You'd be s.o.l 😅 Also the fit and finish on all Taiwanese made torque wrenches has felt sub-par to snap on. Guys love the idea of owning snap-on quality tools for the price of Pittsburgh/Icon. But that's simply not true. If it was, we'd all stop buying snap on. More technicians might get into the industry then. I had some Harbor freight tools that lasted me years as a small engine and power sports mechanic. When I went back to the automotive industry, I then had pry bars and ratchets fail on the first Rusty brake calipers and bolt fasteners they encountered. The Icon torque wrenches are great for someone who doesn't use it day in and day out to tighten things that affect people's safety and well-being. That's no joke. It's my belief that In the first video you made, you didn't actually test them in real world conditions. In my opinion that is. I don't stand in front of a nice clean John Deere tractor torquing clean fasteners 1000 times in a row all gentle like. Torque some lug nuts with grease on your hands. Torque a fly wheel. Maybe a valve cover. Maybe some ARP Head studs. Real world stuff. That would make a good video. And one more thing, the icon split beam has a crappy plastic cover over the torque range indicator that's easy to knock loose. I'm not saying the Icon split beam doesn't have a place in professional shops and settings, but it's not some magical answer to replace 5-6-700 dollar Torque wrenches. Mark my words. In 5-6 months from now, we'll see more reviews on the icon torque wrenches, and I'm willing to wager it'll show how the sacrifices made to keep the cost low and affordable will give way to shortcomings. I hear a lot of people say how it looks exactly like snap-on. Looks don't dictate performance. Another example, I dig my icon sockets. They do the job. They look nice. Good storage. They look exactly like my snap-on sockets but they don't come close. Not even a little. My flank drive sockets are like comparing an Aston Martin to a 1996 Honda civic.
@rosshenry7822 😅 Everyone knows Harbor Freight is a hit or miss, but their Quinn, Icon Torque Wrenches are good. Quit trying to convince people a cheaper brand is worse and can't do the job than your over priced Snap-on Torque Wrenches
Just heads up - it is my understanding - that only mechanical (beam, dial, click, etc.) torque wrenches need to be cycled. They have mechanical components; pivot points, etc. - which benefit from cycling. But you only need to cycle them a couple of times before measuring. And after they have been sitting (unused) for a while - you should cycle them a couple of times before using to torque a fastener. Electronic torque wrenches have no moving parts - and do not require any cycling. They have load cells; and electronics. Generally - torquing over 125% of full capacity will damage the load cell; and the wrench will need repair. Also, a load or torque should never be put onto an electronic torque wrench - which is not ON. Load on an inactive load cell can also damage it. But these have no moving parts - and although they should be tested for Calibration just like mechanical - 'cycling' has no effect.
Intriguing set of results. Did the calibration certificate show a temperature and was it significantly different to your shop? Probably clutching at straws really! Certainly worth finding out if the wrench can be adjusted as the spread across the individual test points didn't seem too bad.
Good point, looked at the certificate and my shop is 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler. Yeah its interesting the 1/2 is good at the mid to top end and the 3/8 is the opposite of that. I will have to look I haven't adjusted A split beam style before, but it looks like there is two adjustments that can be made.
Nice video series, thanks!. Icon has been OOS for weeks now and I need a TW for a job coming up. Any hesitation in the Olsa or would you spend the extra $100 for MiUSA PI? OR wait it out for Icon maybe labor day sale?
Thanks! I probably wouldn't spend the extra 100 for the PI, I would go with the olsa even thought I don't really care for the grip on it. But if you can wait it out I would for the Icon.
Have you tested 1/2 gearwrench digital with angle vs the icon digital with angle just curious because icon is $329 & gearwrench is $267 & I have a lot of tools from gearwrench & a few things from icon
Not yet but plan to, just did the Digital Icon Vs Snap on. It will probably be a month or two before I can do the gearwrench but sooner then later I hope to test it and compare.
I have the 3/8” snap on split beam (made my CDI Torque, a snap on company). 20-100ft. Lbs. Would love to see it tested, but I got it used from my snap on dealer for $100, & have no idea how many (or how few) cycles it has on it; & would probably have to send it to CDI Torque to have it re-calibrated & certified for a fair test. (I’d be willing to loan it to the channel for testing, though I don’t know if you do that at all like Torque Test Channel does?)
I would probably say its accurate unless someone has tampered with it. The only split beam I have tested which was out of spec was the Tekton and thats because they had accuracy at +-2.5% when the norm for split beams is 4%, which is what it was. Do you still see the snap on truck? every truck should have a tester on it.
No not yet, I have tested the 1/2 and it passed, plan to test the 3/8 but I need another tester to properly test it so it will be a few months before I can because the tester is about 2K.
Yeah I'm going to say the calibration stand they have is not as accurate. They sent me a set and it tested sub 2.5% but soon after I shipped them the original set back to them they changed the accuracy on the website from 2.5% to 4.%. If calibrated correctly I think it would hold sub 2.5%.
Yeah CDI is owned by Snap-On, most of the Snap-On branded torque wrenches are CDI. I would say CDI vs Icon is purely just a question of do you want to pay more for made in the USA. Both I would trust to be accurate.
@@Tools-Tested thank you I just purchased one today! I like the quality so far! The torque increments is 5 ft lbs, how can I set it up to 73 ft lbs for example?
Sadly when I ran this test, I was just out of the 30 day return policy. I will say I haven’t contacted them, but my experience with other company’s they will tell you to send it out to get calibrated, and they don’t cover that. But I’m a little concerned seeing 3 Tektons tested haven’t been as accurate as claimed. They definitely could have been damaged from Taiwan but 0 for 3 is not good. I even took out the Icon to make sure nothing was wrong with the tester. I really planned on keeping them and selling the Icon, seeing they make a 3/8.
You can, also if you know your snap on tool truck guy or someone that does they have the same tester, just might be a different model and in red. But this tester is made by snap on. Or any tool truck they normally have a tester right on the truck.
Because at the time I really liked the Tektons and they looked to be the better value play and had good reviews. So sadly was in regards to the Tekton loosing.
"There's an awful lot of Bills that do calibrating"....because they are all made in either Taiwan, likely by the same tool company...What do you want "Made conform by Wang" ?
Yeah I would probably say the Precision Instruments one would be the best bet, I hope to maybe test some but that's probably going to be the end of this year because I don't have the tester for them.
Of course it is easy to say this over a comment text, but PI continually cycle tests tools with results of them staying within the stated accuracy for much longer than the ASME spec of 5,000 cycles. Check out the C4D600F or C4D600F36H (same as previous but with a 3/4” ratchet extension for breaking fasteners loose.) Good luck!
Pretty disappointing showing from Tekton. Honestly, from what I've seen their micrometer torque wrenches aren't great either, and heavily marked up. I have a quite a few Tekton tools and really like most of them, but they really just don't seem to have a quality torque wrench.
The Tekton's are now 72 tooth and the claimed accuracy went from 2.5% to 4%.
They're showing 90-tooth and +/- 4% on their website.
I know this videois a couple years old but I am glad I found it. I was just getting ready to buy a 1/2" split beam and had talked myself out of the Icon for the Tekton but after watching this Icon it will be. Very good video.

I picked up an Icon based on your videos today that replaces my 20 year old craftsman clicker that quit working last night.
The effort in these videos is awesome. Definitely becoming one of my main channels for tools. Also, that poor bolt, lol!
Thanks! don't forget my arm lol

Thank you for all these videos! Your video is the sole reason why I bought the Icon 1/2 split beam today. I really appreciate it. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No problem! good to hear I don't think you can beat the price just hoping we see a 3/8 version!
I had these in the cart and was ready to purchase but I'm so glad I found your video first.

Yep spit beams are awesome for lug nuts. I agree, seems like HF put a ton of focus on torque wrench's. Hopefully we see a 3/8 Icon digital soon!
Bill and Tony do all torque wrench calibrations everywhere, at all times...

Thank you for the video! Wanted to buy the 1/2 and 3/8 Tekton split beam set but after watching this I think I’ll just buy the icon split beam instead
No problem! Yeah I wasn’t impressed by how both of them tested, after those test results.
But we can only hope Icon releases a 3/8!
I bought one of the Icon torque wrenches based on your testing. I was also impressed by the case that came with it. Be interesting to compare those as well.
Nice!, Yeah the Icon cases seem better than most. Cant wait till 3/8 split beam and it also looks like Icon digital torque adapters are coming.

Good to know. I ALMOST got the Tekton because of its apparent value, but ended up opting for the Precision.
Yeah I was expecting the Tekton to be the best seeing they claimed better accuracy then the rest.
But you made a good call with the Precision!

The Olsa is the same wrench as the ICON. The tooth count on the ICON is better and I am very happy with mine.
All three of them look to be the same wrench under the finish.

Can you do this test on the other regular Tekton torque wrench’s if you have not already?
Hopefully next month, alongside the gearwrench 120xp, CDI and sunex
happy i found your channel, definitelty subscribing!

Hi I am torn between icon micrometer vs split beam what do you recommend?
Hi, if you don't plan on torquing LH tread then go with the split beam.
Much faster and easier when it comes to adjustment.
@@Tools-Tested thank you I just purchased one today! I like the quality so far! The torque increments is 5 ft lbs, how can I set it up to 73 ft lbs for example?

The Icon would be your pick, "sadly". I would think that accuracy and durability are there with the Icon. Why sadly?
Because at the time I really liked the Tektons and they looked to be the better value play and had good reviews. So sadly was in regards to the Tekton loosing.
I heard Precision invented the split beam torque wrench.
Yep that is correct from my understanding.
Tekton doesn't claim ±2.5%. They claim ±4% as do Snap-On, Precision Instruments, etc. for their split beams.
Originally they claimed 2.5 when this video was made.
The icon are cheaper with coupons or without. Not sure why anyone would buy tekton
Yep only people EU or UK should consider tekton.
For the algorithm
Tekton torque split beam 3)8 wrench has 72 teeth
Look like they recently just changed them to 72 teeth and went form 2.5% claimed accuracy to 4%. Thanks for the info!
"There's an awful lot of Bills that do calibrating"....because they are all made in either Taiwan, likely by the same tool company...What do you want "Made conform by Wang" ?
Wish someone would make a 600ft lb 3/4 that i could use daily and feel comfortable it was going to stay accurate
Yeah I would probably say the Precision Instruments one would be the best bet, I hope to maybe test some but that's probably going to be the end of this year because I don't have the tester for them.
Of course it is easy to say this over a comment text, but PI continually cycle tests tools with results of them staying within the stated accuracy for much longer than the ASME spec of 5,000 cycles. Check out the C4D600F or C4D600F36H (same as previous but with a 3/4” ratchet extension for breaking fasteners loose.) Good luck!
360 degrees divided by 32 teeth gives 11.2 degrees.
Correct the degrees in the video is in reference to the actual flex head not the arc swing.
Pretty disappointing showing from Tekton. Honestly, from what I've seen their micrometer torque wrenches aren't great either, and heavily marked up. I have a quite a few Tekton tools and really like most of them, but they really just don't seem to have a quality torque wrench.
Yeah these seem to be good quality, maybe they were just calibrated wrong? They are trying to get tools produced in the US so that's a + in my book
