- TORQUE WRENCH CONVERSION: This digital torque adapter converts any ratchet wrench into a precision torque wrench with a digital gauge and serves as an accurate calibration device for existing digital and analog torque wrenches.
- METRIC/SAE & BI-DIRECTIONAL: This digital adapter can calculate torque at both metric and SAE units (Ft.-Lb., N-m and kg-m) and bolsters a 1/2-inch drive with socket drive and can measure in both directions, clockwise and counter-clockwise.
- PEAK AND TRACE MODE: This torque adapter unit provides two types of modes: a peak mode that indicates when a specific level of torque is reached and a trace mode that actively shows how much torque is being applied on the display.
- NOISE ALERT AT TORQUE SETTING: The audible confirmation is accompanied by a 3 LED light indicator system to give you a progressive audio notification when reaching specified torque ratings/settings and auto shuts off after 80 seconds of idle time.
- ADAPTER SPECIFICATIONS: Torque range: 29.5-147.5 Ft-Lb or 40-200 N-m; Accuracy: +-2%; Memory: 50; Uses 2 AA batteries.

Most bolts in the engine, as well as suspension and steering, actually have a published torque specification. If you don't work on cars every day, a torque wrench is really handy to properly tighten just about any fastener you encounter.
If you start doing much work on your car, you'll probably find that some small bolts, and bolts on parts with rubber gaskets and similar seals use very low torque values and you'll want a "inch pound" torque wrench (usually 1/4" drive) for those, and some larger bolts need a lot of torque and you'll want a bigger torque wrench with a higher torque capacity for those (usually 1/2" drive).
I also find my "digital torque adapter" quiet handy. It's a short extension, 1/2" drive, with an electronic box/display in it that can be used on any 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar to precisely torque fasteners. https://amzn.com/B009GLISI0 is one example of that type device.
