If you click on the pictures on the link it has a Video. It looks like its worth a shot. It cant be any worse then a Harbor Freight piece of junk. Id actually buy one if I didnt already have one, and it does inch lbs, ft lbs etc... Cant beat that, one purchase and you have tons of different uses.

To those of you who own these, how accurate would you say these are?

Even if they are 100% accurate, there will be people who don't believe it.

IIRC, the manual claims 2% accuracy, which I believe.

They are pretty cool little gadgets.

Harbor Freight already makes a 3/8" version
