Why would someone pay $100's for a good voltmeter when Harbor Freight has a voltmeter they often give away with a minimal purchase?
BTW, my HF meter reads 8% high on DC. Makes a 12V battery a 13V.
I stand by my recommendation. On the electronic side, I work with Fluke meters, Tektronix oscilloscopes and, on the mechanical, with Mitutoyo calipers. The particular torque adapter has about 2% accuracy, better than what you can achieve with typical analog wrenches. Foremost it is extremely easy to use, suitable for different torque ranges with units and operation mode flipped by pressing a button. Yes, the analog torque wrenches I have are consistent with the recommended adapter.
