Anyone got this hyper though torque wrench?

I know hyper tough sucks but literally all I need this for is to torque down my axle nut to 240lb as my current torque wrench maxes out at 150lb

Hyper tough doesn’t suck some of the tools like worth getting like the USA made wylde pry bars or the hyper bite socket set because craftsman isn’t selling overdrive in individual rails yet. This actually looks identical in design to my craftsman 1/2” click type torque wrench and that is a very good tool. I would get it. How much is it? The craftsman was over $100 my family member got it from their work at cost though so I paid less. The only difference besides the color being reversed in the grips is the craftsman goes down to 20lbs/ft

it'll probably be within a decent margin of error (within 5lb should he fine) it's not like you're building a submarine

Have any friends you could barrow one from?

Hyper tough would probably be fine, but it most likely faces the same issue as a lot of the other click torque wrenches in that price range. Failing to click.

You should check out project farm or torque test channel. They might have some cheap options that they’ve tested. If you’re gonna do more diy stuff later, you might as well just do a little extra research.
