I was specially looking to see if this was on here yet. I was rather surprised at the results. Icon I figured would be good but not that good

The video in question:
Frankly I'm not too surprised by the result. The channel that posted the video quite seems to enjoy doing tests that show less expensive tools to equal their snapon counterpart. I think his evaluations are generally fair and objective, even if his choice of content is not.
I'm happy with my Armstrong torque wrench. If I were in need of a new one, neither wrench compared in the video would be under consideration.

The question is was that Icon a fluke or are they that good across the stock of available torque wrenches?

"great comparison, Snap-on must hate you! "

impressive what harbor freight can do at that price point. Even more impressive how long snap-on has been ripping off people.

I stopped watching when he switched to clickbait reviews.

RTR: "...now this makes me kind of wonder: why did I pay over 400 bucks for the Snap On with only a 1 year warranty, when the ICON only costs about a hundred bucks and it has a lifetime warranty out the door?"
What an incredibly disingenuous cherry on top statement to make at the end of this advertisement *cough* I mean, review video. The ICON lifetime warranty for the torque wrenches is pretty gutless as it doesn't cover calibration past 90 days and the user is required to provide proof of recurring 6-month calibrations. And when something legitimate does go wrong, who's to say they won't claim that it's just 'normal wear and tear'? //manuals.harborfreight.com/manuals/64000-64999/64064.pdf
Man, it's been so hard to stomach his videos over the past year or so. Straight up paid HFT shill. I mean, good for him and all, but damn, I can't believe no one has mentioned that. All I keep seeing is "best reviewer on YouTube!!!1". At one point, I actually believe he was. I used to enjoy his thorough, obviously unbiased tests. These aren't reviews anymore though. While well versed, clear, and to the point, they're glaring advertisements that try to show you how much better [Insert HFT Product Here] is better than all of the competition.
Now as far as the ICON being respectably accurate: I'm not at all surprised. It appears to be a quality Taiwanese tool, and tools in this bucket have proven their worth for several years now. I didn't need this ad to mansplain it to me.

Wait a second... are you telling me that spending crazy money on snap on does NOT always get you better tools?? And that you can buy stuff just as good, even BETTER, for a fraction of the price????!!!!! Are you trying to say that a brand is just CAPATALIZING on their name?? Are you friggin insane???? Whats wrong with you? Nothing can ever be better than snap on - cause they have trucks...

I don't think HF pays him anything. People just love their youtube clickbait and it works sadly.
If it was Icon vs a slightly more expensive USA made Precision Instruments he'd probably get a tenth of the views-if that.
Ironically these types of reviews actually defy is namesake since they do a disservice to the core base of real tool users.

This is not directed at Fedwrench, he's just informing us but poor Snap On....any chance one can find a tool that compares or is better they love to dig the boots in. Any tool well made or functions as well is cause for high celebration. 'Have a look at this...its 1/3 of the price of SO and just as good'. Yipeee!

I wanna say the old model HF torque wrench has been tested against snap on in a few different outlets - and even that one was comparable. Not as good, but comparable.. i mean the thing is like $20.
Not to mention you have a world of good brands to pick from before you even approach snap on money.

You missed the point big time. Like I said, it’s not at all surprising that the ICON is a quality tool. It also has absolutely nothing to do with Snap On’s business practices or whatever you want to call it. It’s that all of his content is “HFT is better than [you name it] and here’s why”. Look at all of the videos he posted over past ~15 months [by actual video date] - what % of them are “HFT vs. the world”?
And to think this guy isn’t paid by HFT in some way is incredibly naive. It’s not a coincidence he pretty much only “reviews” HFT products now.
But to answer your question: no

But to answer your question: noI think he just found a good niche.. look at how much activity threads like these get.. his hf vs xxx probably get a lot of traffic, and if HF features his vids like they’ve done - it drives a lot of traffic to his site/videos, what have you.. traffic means $$$ - clicks attract advertisers.. they probably just mutually benefit from each other..
Look at that Crazy Russian Hacker guy.. Guy went from working in Walmart to being worth 7 million off YouTube videos that get a lot of clicks, just playing with fire starters and shit he found at Walmart.. Now he’s got an awesome house, 70 acres, a hot wife and an infinity pool. Who’s better than him?? Lol

It appears to be the case that you can get an excellent torque wrench for way less, I wouldn’t go as far to say that Snap-on is capatalizing on their name per say. What I would say is competition is looking good and for a standard micrometer torque wrench.
This torque wrench is a tool where the price a warranty will make it a big winner, like Milwaukee with the 5 year warranty on their electric tools made them stand out on top of the performance.
Do I regret buying my TechAngle torque wrench [ bout it on sale for $325] ? No but if I was in the market for a regular micrometer type torque wrench, you bet this would grab peoples attention.

Someone needs some nuts torqued; so they go looking at someone's tube.. oofda

Thats the question obviously RTR has some kind of working relationship with Harbor Freight. I highly doubt he goes to the local HF, picks up the first TW he sees and then makes a video.
I am thinking he receives a batch of at least five. Picks the best one and then makes the video. Saying that the Icon is still a good TW
The video is obviously geared to novice DIY,s that would have no intention of buying Snap-on in the first place. That model is kind of out dated, most guys I know buy either a Techangle or split-beam. For real heavy duty use i like the Proto about a 4" longer handle than the Snap-on and the ratchet head is bullet proof.

Odd that people give credit to harbor freight because some Asian tool manufacturing plant can make good stuff for cheap. Harbor freight didn't engineer these tools they just had an oem slap a logo on them.

I don't like using up my high-speed data on video, but the suspense is killing me.
Do they both go "click",when they reach the proper torque?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't SnapOn do the same thing on torque wrenches? Doesn't an OEM make them for Snap On?

LMFAO!!!! SO Industrial division, CDI that actually makes the SO wrenches sells very similar models under the CDI label for a whole lot less because no trucks are involved. I can think of other companies that have marketed virtually the same product at substantially different prices under different brand names. Walker got a a lot less for their floor jacks when sold as Ajax.

From my limited experience with the HF $10 torque wrench. they are not even worth discussion. A buddy brought one to work and the adjustments were so stiff and sloppy and the click was so weak. It seemed like such a POS that I would never buy one. The next time I asked about it he had already exchanged it under warrany

It is their OEM. CDI makes a lot of the SO TRs and CDI is a part of the SO Industrial Division. You can buy very similar wrenches for a lot less labeled CDI.

Hopefully this will make CDI put a high tooth count head on their torque wrenches. I watched Tool Teardowns video about this a long time ago. I wrote it off as typical Harbor Freight when the first one he bought was defective.
For $10 I'll be the QC department as a customer. For $100 I expect the supplier to handle it.
Is it accurate? Yes. Do I have any inkling that it will last? No. Is Harbor Freight going to open a service center where I can get it calibrated?
Who makes Icon torque wrenches?
Harbor Freight is the company that has launched, distributed, and marketed the Icon tools. It is one of the most exclusive brands of Harbor Freight. Its headquarters is based in Calabasas, California. The company started its journey in 1977 as a mail-order tool business.
Is a 3 8 torque wrench enough?
3/8 -Inch Torque Wrench It provides a torque range of about 15 to 75foot – pounds making it perfect for multiple applications. It is the drive used most for socket sets and engine works, such as in plug tightening.
Which torque wrench is most accurate?
Split beam wrenches are often more accurate than standard beam wrenches. A split-beam wrench allows you to set the desired torque rating and stops tightening when this setting is reached [preventing overtightening]. Digital wrenches are often the most accurate style of torque wrench.
How accurate is the Aldi torque wrench?
If the click didn't occur, then the wrench's setting needed to be decreased. As you can see, at low values of torque, the wrench is not great, in fact it exceeds its specification of ±4%.
