- When it comes to critical fasteners, the term itself implies the emphasis on the importance. If these bolts and nuts are not tightened to their proper tolerance, then critical components could end their life abruptly. There really is great value in having a trustworthy electronic torque wrench. Furthermore, most of the automotive industry has gone to TTY (Torque To Yield) fasteners, meaning you need to add the correct amount of angle after the torque. Do you need the best torque wrench? This should be the decision of each technician or enthusiast. This @SnaponToolsOfficial TechAngle Electronic Torque Wrench is probably the best digital torque wrench that we've reviewed, but it's still quite a bit more expensive than most other competitors. This is the ATECH3F300MB and it's rated for 15 to 300 ft-lbs.

This torque wrench is worth it’s weight in gold doing gm heads. The ratcheting angle makes it much easier to do the final torque of 150° on head bolts
I had to torque some stuff to 30nm and then 23 and 7 degrees and make sure it isnt tighter than 300nm last week. Really weird. Never seen that before.
Just bought this wrench for a total of $424.00 from the SEP program. This thing is incredible! Definite godsend.
Just got the all black one today, saw the color and just had to get it. I used to have the one that went to 250 ft. Lbs., but I sold it to a friend when I stepped away from the heavy duty side for a bit. Now that I'm back on the heavy duty side, I needed the 1/2" drive lol. I've had my 3/8" tech angle for 5 years now and it's done excellent. Snap on by far makes the best digital torque wrench in my honest opinion.
Not from what I heard
Most do not understand what that certificate is actually worth. In one of my past lives I ordered indirect materials. For testing a certified tool can easily costs 3 times as much as a non certified tool. A racing engine can easily cost 75 - 100k Imagine torquing a head down without a certified wrench.
It costs alot because it is worth it.
You are right on the money. Thanks for watching.
Exactly!
I’ve tried other cheaper torque wrenches to keep from buying a Snap-on but all have disappointed me. Tried gearwrench but they go nuts if over torqued, cornwell and Mac which use the same heads are junk because the gears break easily, Quinn is ok for diy but not a professional shop. Now I own both the 3/8 and 1/2 Snap-on. Best purchase ever!! Expensive but well worth it.
I found out a long time ago that it only hurts if you ask the price. Nowadays I just walk on the truck, tell my dealer what I need, pay for it and walk off lol
I have both the 1/2" and 3/8" version. Recently had an issue with the TTY function on a set of heads I was doing. Torque was 22ft-lbs+90°+70°. When I got to 68° and went to get the last 2° the fastener didn't move the torque wrench beeped and read 70°. The slop from the ratcheting mechanism, extension, or socket on a bolt adds to the reading. I still mark all of my fasteners before TTY so I was able to catch it and make sure they were all equal.
The torque wrench probably maxed out. In other words while doing those 70 degrees the torque wrench reached its maximum torque reading. Happened to a guy in our shop when doing heads. We got a torque wrench with a higher max torque reading.
@@cristianleija7107 the degrees will save in the unit and you can add to them after you roll the ratchet back for the next stroke. It’s a great wrench
That’s a beautiful piece
Yes, it is. Thanks for watching.
Just ordered this one. There are certain things, one just can't cheap out on.
What do you consider cheaping out?
You still feeling it was worth it? I’m considering one.
I purchased the icon 1/2 inch and it looks and has all the same functions for 400 bucks. Same exact torque tolerances and lifetime warranty.
My 3/8 inch is snapon and I plan on getting the 1/4 inch snap on.
If icon made a 1/4 and 3/8 I would buy those also. Seriously though, everything is exactly the same , including operating system and buttons .
Hello again Tim
Thank you for another Great Video. That's a great torque wrench. I just glad, I don't have to fork out the money for it. It's different from an Aviation point of view. The company supplies special tools. I just have to bring hand tools. Thank you again
Excuse me more than the comment. I have subscribed to the channel now. It is very helpful and I have fun watching it. Thank you very much.
Worth every penny. Bought mine a few months ago and LOVE it. The torque to yield feature was the seller for me. Make quick work building LS motors.
You still happy with yours?
@@dlj1285 1000%
@@Em1_99 Just asking because I’ve seen numerous reports of electronics failing out prematurely on these things. I’m considering purchasing one and it gives me pause a bit to read those reports. Not sure whether it’s something that has been addressed by Snap-on or not.
@@dlj1285 Where exactly have you been seeing these reports? I’ve had mine for a little bit and have no issues with it whatsoever. I’d be interested to know what issues are out there so I can be on the lookout for it myself.
@@Em1_99 Just in some comments on Reddit and on some TH-cam videos. Something about the electronics going on the fritz…I don’t know much more than that. I’ve read a handful of these from apparent owners complaining about the same thing.
I bought both 1/2 and 3/8s tech angle and regret nothing
We can understand. These are great torque wrenches. Thanks for watching.
Still no issues? Been reading instances of the electronics on these things crapping out. Has Snap-on addressed these sorts of failures? Anyone know?
I tried to cheap out and bought an AC Delco for working on my Harley. I am now buying a 3/8” drive ATECH and selling the AC Delco. Buy once, cry once!
The last words in this comment are words to live by in this trade... ask any mechanic that has some skin in the game lol
Worth it's weight in GOLD
Positive snap on review : it’s the big one , I’m coming Elizabeth
Just to stop the confusion, the ATECH is made by Snap-on in the City of Industry, California. CDI is ONLY a brand name made by Snap-on, it is no longer a company. Snap-on bought CDI in 1995, so they ceased to exist as a company in 1995. And I ought to know, I've worked there 26 years.
I have the 1/2" and 3/8" have to have them. I loved my Carlyle but needed the flex head
Planing on doin my own oil change on my 2016 tacoma
Just purchased the 3/8 version for diy
N it was on sale for 545 regular price 745 n the snap on guy had only 2 left so I chosed the same color as u get
Was comparing this one and the gearwrench bought the gear wrench it was a little bit cheaper the only thing the gear wrench doesn't have is an LED light
The Gearwrench is a great torque wrench, we've reviewed several of those as well. The Snap-On has a bit more polish and feels a touch more sturdy...which it should, for the price. Thanks for watching.
That electronic Gearwrench that reads angle with the flex head is hard to beat...for under $200...
You are correct, that's a great torque wrench for the price. Thanks for watching.
He says snap on have done this right, that torque wrench is made by Norbar with a snap on stamp
Chrome socket on an impact, nice, jk lol great video i have this torque wrench and love it!!
We live dangerously. ;) Yes, this is a great torque wrench. Thanks for watching.
Is it possible to setup multiple Nm settings? For example: 20 Nm 40 Nm and 80 Nm and have them as quick select option of sorts?
You can program 9 different preset torque values into the wrench.
@@nickr1641 Really? I have the wrench at work and I've gone through all the settings but i can't find any preset values for torque.
@@soklotPage 8 of the manual talks about presets. Programming starts by holding the unit button down for 3 seconds and then following the on screen prompts.
If you want accuracy, you get Snap On there not as good as they used to be I’ve got tool that over 40 years old to compare
They are more accurate than they were before but Icon makes a 1/2 inch for 400 bucks that looks exactly the same ,has same accuracy and has all the functions (including ratcheting angle) and same operating system. Literally everything is exactly the same except for the head . The icon comes with icons 72 tooth flex head .
I suspect mechanics were doing a very good job with accurate torque settings before this expensive torque wrench came out.
It just makes it slightly easier. Unless you are using it several times a day, not really worth the money.
Kinda like how the pneumatic stuff from back then was fine as well compared to now? Things progress, man. Especially in the mechanics world.
Thank God I called at the right time
CDI used to make some of Snap-On's torque wrenches. Not sure if that's still the case.
I think CDI still makes this one. Thanks for watching.
I believe CDI makes all Snap-on torque wrenches and torque tools. Snap-on Owns CDI torque tools, Norbar torque tools, and Sturtevant Richmont torque tools. All of them are torque specialists and Sturtevant Richmont is the maker of the first torque wrench (the beam type) developed by Walter Percy Chrysler.
Hi, Can u recommend a cheap good torque wrench for a diy mechanic. thank u.
😂
Can I use it without calibration or it will stop working after a time and the message CALL NEEED will show on the screen ! . I am planing to buy one but because I am not in the US and there is no Snap on dealer in my country ' that is why I am confused. Please advice me buy it or no. Thanks
It won't stop working. You just won't know if it's still within tolerance, but if you take good care of it by not banging it around or dropping it and remove the batteries when in storage, it should be good for many years.
THANKS@@BellaRocko
Is this snap on or made by someone else. I was told by a snap-on dealer that the 3/8 was about $650.
The 3/8 should not be any more than $400
It's made by cdi. But they don't seem to sell the 300ftlb model
I think the 1/2" is only $650, so the 3/8" should be quite a bit less. Thanks for watching.
Made by CDI which is owned by Snap-on
This video was not edited well at all. Besides that terrible editing i love this torque wrench
Nice video can you test the CT9050GDB impact gun tanks?
I have one and I barely use the thing.

Whats the deal with the large T and warning signs?
We should have caught this. This is an issue between editing and uploading. Everything was fine in final edit, but then something happened. We're working on fixing it now. Thanks for watching.
Can you do a review of gearwrench e spec torque wrench
Whats deal with red screen big letter t & a warning ⚠️ sign in your video a few times blocking out your video
Must have been a mess up between editing and upload. Sorry about that. Working on fixing this now. Thanks for watching.
Would love to have one, but can't see paying $650 for something that won't be used daily
@@lawmantimothy problem is when you need a torque wrench it needs to be reliable
@@brettwalkom948 From a few videos I have seen, there are a few options for less than this costs that are just as reliable.
@@lawmantimothy just saying a torque wrench isn't something you want to cheap out on.. Not saying it has to be snap on
There are better torque wrenches and torque wrench tools than Snap-on and most of you people never even heard of them.
Care to share what brand & models you’re referring to? Stahwille?
@@MotorCityMoto My recent purchase is Sturtevant Richmont DTC-75 Interchangeable Head Digital Torque and Angle Wrench.
A similar model is the 1350 Series EXACTA 2 Interchangeable Head Digital Torque and Angle Wrench with radio communications with their Torque Controllers.
The high-end and Heavy Duty model is their 1250 Series EXACTA 2 Interchangeable Head Digital Torque Wrench.
Sturtevant Richmont Wrenches have patented and unique Traditional pin/spring Dovetail or Quick Change Dovetail and gives you access to over 200 interchangeable heads (patented in 1956). Nobody else has anything like that. Sturtevant Richmont is the original maker of the first Torque Wrench, Deflecting Beam type developed by Walter Percy Chrysler. They patented many of the first Torque Tools like the Torque Screwdriver. They created the first Power Tool Tester.
My other two Digital Torque Wrenches are REVO SUPERDUTY made by JETCO in California (owned by Stahlwille). Those are simple and high-quality wrenches.
@@MrCROBosanceros Thank you.
