Thanks for another great video, much appreciated. I just bought the Quinn at HF and really like it, feels well-made and is easy to read and set. If I need to go into the upper torque ranges on this I'll just chuck the bit into my ¼" drive electronic torque wrench, as it scales down to about 12 inch lbs.

That looks like some quite strange grip ergonomics on those screwdrivers. All my VDE torque screwdrivers are a standard screwdriver shaped handle. Can be a little tough to use at the higher ranges, but I don't go up to them very often 3.5 Nm is about as high I usually go with them.

Great stuff, thanks again for your videos! I would like to see the more expensive torque screwdrivers tested. I can attest to torque screwdrivers not being very accurate, I had a Neiko that stripped out alot of screws. I threw that one out and got a Capri Tools which hasn't stripped any threads yet. I actually tested both screwdrivers by having them turn a beam style torque wrench. It was easy to see the Neiko was over torqing at the high end of its scale. The Capri Tools seemed to be slightly under torqing throughout its range but wasn't too bad. No matter what you decide to film I'm here to watch it!

I’m not sure how this title can be “best” when these are all low end or cheap-o. You’re testing looks great, but too bad you didn’t include a great product like Wiha or Wera. Can’t be a great hand tool test of any kind without any German engineered tools.
