I have the same set, and it's working great. One thing I love about it is that, unlike other torque wrenches, it can be used to loosen screws. However, one thing to keep in mind when using this torque wrench is that, before zeroing the dial, you should load and release the spring gently to eliminate any existing zero offset caused by a sudden release in previous use. After resetting to zero, you should repeat this process several times to ensure the dial returns to zero after every gentle release. Once you see consistency, then the ratchet is good to use for tightening a screw.
Very interesting. Thank you so much for the demo! Really interesting device. I was wondering from the previous video how this actually worked. Surprised it actually seems to be decently accurate if not also precise.
My wallet is actually in better shape. Some of these tools were tempting me before bzeug reviewed them, but I saw enough flaws that I’ve decided a couple times that I decided I didn’t need them. Or they they weren’t enough better that I needed them. Part of it is that I already had too many tools before I found his channel. I got my first Wiha bit driver in 2002 or so. :)
I would think that the wrench does not go back to zero to force you to reset it before next use and its just part of the way it is designed to work. To me, it makes sense and is okay. I have spring loaded torque wrenches that do permit multiple uses without a reset in-between. Looks like an interesting tool and not a bad price, especially with the case and bits included (currently ~$43 on Amazon).
Interesting set, very compact, I think for bicycle maintenance is accurate enough. I use that wera torque screwdriver and is also perfect for bicycle work, combined with a tool check set. But this mini ratchet is nice. But the wera is more convenient, you cannot overtight the screws even if you are not watching the dial. And zeroing the dial every time, I'm just curious how much deviation you get after more cycles without zeroing the dial. Oh, and the wera works in both directions and you also can lock the screwdriver for more torque.
I'd also be interested to see how it fairs after multiple uses without being reset, if I was doing multiples of the same fastener I'd totally forgot. I wonder if it actually affects the reading and is offset by whatever amount or whether it simply just doesn't return to zero, in which case as long as you're tightening beyond the resting point it doesn't matter.
@@HomoKieran I'm almost sure that dial will be offset after multiple cycles. You can rotate the dial with your hand, and if something is blocking the rotation, or if you somehow touching the wheel during the tightening process the result will be different. But I could be wrong. Another video on this subject would be great.

Love your videos, however, my wallet does not
same here!

Sort of reminds me of a similar set that Harbor Freight sells under the "ICON" line but without the torque capability.
