Gearwrench 120XP Electronic Torque Wrench with Angle Review [FLEX HEAD]

The new Gearwrench 120xp electronic torque wrench adds Angle for those TTY (Torque To Yield) fasteners. A flexible head offers even more flexibility when working in tighter areas. With the knurled aluminum handle, this Gearwrench 85196 has the feel of a typical click-stop style torque wrench, and the 120xp ratchet allows for just a 3-degree swing-arc.

*Great **MyBest.Tools** cordless wrench a little heavy*

Cool tool.
I am right now with the click type wrench. But looks pretty awesome and is far way cheaper than the truck price.
Thanks for the video

Nice review! I ended up going with this over the SO Techangle because although the Techangle has more torque range in all the drive sizes and has the ability to calculate additional lengths for attachments like crowfoot adapters at the price of 3 times the price I can buy the 1/2" GW torque wrench PLUS a clean used 3/4" torque wrench for about the same price.

Great review, I know this is kind of old and maybe you 'd know by now but never ever lose a bolt with a digital torque wrench and this is in the instructions. Cheers.

Excellent video tim! I'm kind of up in the air but I think I wanna stay with the click style. 😎

Tim, now that this is your new go to, I'll take that Li-on off your hands!

Hi Shop Tool Reviews (can you do the 1/4 and 3/8 120xp GearWrench Digital reviews)?

Those 120XP ratchets Gearwrench sells are absolute heaven for the price. I would buy their click-style torque wrench over the electronic. The batteries are always dead when you need it the most. Not a fan of electric torque wrenches at all. Plus, in a noisy shop you can’t always hear the alarm but you can always feel the click.

I have the 3/8"... I like it alot....I sold my Snap-on Tec-angle to buy it....👍about 2 months ago
I love the screen red/green in range colors...
Great tqwrnch for $250.... better than my SnapOn....I think..

Snap-On did a really good video showing the difference in a digital torque wrench and click/mechanical style. The issue with the click/mechanical style is the end user. There is no warning when its going to click, it just clicks. While electronic torque wrenches have a gauge and/or lights so you can slow down and get proper torque ratings. Even when he was being careful the user was 3 ft-lbs over. Just going normally about 5-10 ft-lbs over. THe digital, about 1 ft-lbs over at worst.

Can you test the how much torque all the different settings put out on the M12 stubby

I love gearwrench. That's my go to tool brand for wrenches. They may not be the best but they'll get the job done.

Looking forward on the snap on 1/2 torque

[kboruss]

Still like my click torque wrench but will have to take a look at this one. Looks pretty nice. I am always afraid gonna crack then screen or something.

[puffnstuff]

I just ordered this unit today as my tq wrenches are quite old.

Looking into this deeper but I may just go this route over the Techangle Snap-On. $250.00 is a very good deal for what you are getting. What's the warranty on the gearing or anvil in the head from breaking?

[donmige]

how accurate is this in comparison to the snap on?

[osvacaniz]

Where can I take this torque wrench to be calibrated?

[cameronduff]

Thanks for another great video Tim, I also saw another great video that led me right back to you, it was called...Torque Angie Explained by Alkitronic, (German)

Very nice wrench. If I didn’t have the Snap On tech angles, I’d be all over it. Maybe will look at the 1/4”. As far as click style, I love my split beam torque wrench for lug nuts. You don’t have to zero it when not in use. I sometimes like using a micrometer click style for really low torque applications like in the engine bay. I prefer the feeling of the click to the sound of the beep when I can’t see the screen.
