REVIEW: "QUINN 3/8 in. Drive, 5.9 to 59 ft-lb Digital Torque Adapter" (meter)

[zappman]

Not quite a "Bench Tool", it is a "Tool Box Tool".

My project for today July 10, 2025, was to change the blade on my Lawn Mower.

I had almost every thing I needed to get the job done.

• The Lawn Mower
• New Blade for the mower
• 14mm Impact Socket
• Dewalt 20V Impact Driver (to remove remove the two 14mm bolts holding on the Blade)
• 1/2" drive manual ratchet to use with the 14mm socket to tighten the bolts, when re-installing the Blade
• A piece of 2 x 4 lumber to keep the mower blade from spinning

I was missing one item to be able to perform the job.

• A way to ensure the 14mm bolts where tightened to a Torque of 36 ~ 43 ft-lb

So, I purchased a Harbor Freight "QUINN 3/8 in. Drive, 5.9 to 59 ft-lb Digital Torque Adapter" (meter)
https://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-drive-59-to-59-ft-lb-digital-torque-adapter-58705.html

I had a coupon (never buy anything at Harbor Freight without a coupon), so I paid $27.99 for the "Digital Torque Adapter" (meter) instead of the list price of $34.99

I used two socket adapters to insert the 3/8" Drive Digital Torque Adapter (meter) between my 1/2" Drive Ratchet and 1/2" Drive 14mm impact socket.

The results: Lawn Mower Blade change completed, with bolts tightened to the manufactures specifications, and I mowed the back lawn.

I rate the Harbor Freight "QUINN 3/8 in. Drive, 5.9 to 59 ft-lb Digital Torque Adapter" (meter):
Five            out of Five
