My final update is that VANPO has great customer service. They proactively reached out to me to remedy the situation and make things right. That almost never happens in this day and age! I'm providing a second update that VANPO reached out to me based upon my review to try to help with my issues. I'm very pleasantly surprised by this and have added a star for this outreach. I'll will provide an updated review based upon the customer service that I receive. Quick update to clarify that I purchased the torque wrench that included the ratchet and crescent heads so it would appear there are multiple models that are being reviewed for this particular product. I needed a crescent wrench style torque wrench to tighten some very large HVAC lineset nuts. I just tried this VANPO adjustable torque wrench and based upon reviews I was nervous as to how accurate it is. This turned out to be well-founded. The reason I am being careful is that I have literally one-shot at getting my HVAC lineset torqued to the proper spec and if it is too loose I lose all my refrigerant and if I get it too tight it will strip and/or break the mounting brackets. I used a known-accurate torque wrench to compare to this wrench and measurements were wildly off between 10-30%. As best I can tell, the accuracy gets worse the higher the torque so I am guessing there is some sort of calibration that is non-linear. In any case, this tool is a big YMMV and I strongly encourage those that will use it to test to ensure you have an accurate wrench. It would appear some reviewers are happy so hopefully this is limited to just a few of us. Regardless, I cannot go more than 1 out of 5 stars for this reason and will be returning it to get my hard-earned $100 back.

Su aspecto promete calidad y funcionalidad. Lo corroboraré con el uso. Todo bien en la prueba de funcionamiento, cumplió con todas las espectativas hasta el momento.

I bought and installed a Mr Cool 24K BTU mini-split in my shop. One requirement of installation was to torque the lineset connections at evaporator and condenser units prior to opening valves. While I own other torque wrenches, I had no crow's foot sockets that large in metric sizes and the price to purchase a full set of decent crow's foot was more than I cared to spend for something I am unlikely to use again. Instead, I purchased this unique torque wrench with an interchangeable adjustable wrench and standard ratchet head, which I will likely use again. It was worked very well for torquing the lineset to the required 55-60 ft-lb, which is not small feat while standing on a ladder, though I needed to use a cheater to get the necessary leverage in place. The blow molded plastic case makes a great place to store the wrench on a shelf until I need it again.
