HTG2 digital torque gauge offers programmable high/low setpoints for go/no-go testing. ORANGE lights up for measurements less than Low setpoint, GREEN for between High and Low setpoint, and RED for ...

Using a digital strain gauge, it converts the torque applied through the adapter into a digital readout. At a typical ridiculous Harbor Freight price of $39.99, we decided to include it in our test.

This small unit fits in between a standard 12-inch drive breaker bar and the socket, and using a digital strain gauge, it converts the torque applied through the adapter into a digital readout.

We did some torque wrench testing to see how they stack up. See what we used and how they preformed in the April 2013 issue of Car Craft Magazine.

Gauge positioning compensate for extraneous forces such as bending moments. Signals get from the rotating shaft to the static electronics through radio frequency wireless pick-ups rather than ...
