Default Not sure about this torque wrench

I have been sort of looking for an inch pound torque wrench, as when I work on my vette, I try to do it as best as possible.

However, I'm not sure about how to calibrate this find on the auction site : I can't believe the seller is trying to pass this thing off on someone.

I have one I got from harbor freight awhile ago think it was 11 bucks. Still works like a champ after all this time.

That's not what the OP is talking about. Look at the #$%^ thing. The torque rod is bent up by the socket attachment point. The wrench is worthless.

Default Torque Wrench joke

This piece of garbage dhould be destroyed before someone attempts to accidentally use it. Sears Craftsman has quality torque wrenches on sale every few months.
