I chose the -inch drive because I do most of the work on my car with -inch drive sockets as opposed to 3/8-inch drive sockets. I figured I could always use an adapter to step it up to 3/8-inch drive when occasionally needed. The upper limit setting is also high enough for a lot of my work. The wrench came with test information at various torque levels documenting the accuracy of the torque settings.
I used this wrench to install the oil screen on my Porsche 356. This screen must be installed by progressively torquing ten nuts in a prescribed pattern. With the torque wrench I was able to do this reliably by setting the wrench at its lowest setting (30-inch lbs), tightening all nuts, then setting it to 40-inch lbs, tightening all nuts, etc. The clicking sound the wrench makes when it reaches the selected torque is positive and easy to detect.
I cannot comment on the long term durability or accuracy of this wrench since I just purchased it and have used it only once. I first considered a Craftsman torque wrench but changed my mind after reading negative reviews. I know a professional mechanic that likes the GearWrench ratcheting box wrenches, so I purchased this GearWrench product assuming the quality would be comparable. I think it is made in the U.S. while other GearWrench products are made in China. GearWrench products are sold by Sears (and others) which means they are at least endorsed by Sears.
I am totally satisfied with this product but gave it four stars since I don't know how durable it is.
