Lisle 28100 Torque Angle Meter Sep 19, 2010
By Lawrence T. Dagan
The Lisle 28100 torque angle meter is very convenient to use and to operate than the OTC4554 and KD3336 torque angle meters. The flexible clamp keeps the angle meter from rotating and it attaches easily to any fix object in any position such as cylinder heads, intake manifolds, exhaust manifolds or engine block.
I used the torque angle meter for loosening and tightening bolts. Most of the time, I used the torque angle meter for loosening bolts in 45 to 60 degrees increments.
Torque angle meter is sometimes called "angle wrench" from several service repair manual. It is describe as a tool for tightening bolts as shown in the Lisle 28100 packaging material. But, it is not describe as a tool for loosening bolts.
The torque angle meter was used after tightening the bolts to the specified torque. First, the bolt's specified or recommended torque was tightened in sequence by using a "torque wrench" (such as foot-pounds). And finally, the bolt was tightened by using the angle meter (such as degrees).
I used the torque angle meter to loosen bolts that were tightened in sequence by a torque wrench such as cylinder head bolts, intake/exhaust manifold bolts, bearing cap bolts, rocker shafts bolts, etc. Please remember that torque wrench is only use for tightening bolts (incremental torque measurements) but not for loosening bolts.
The distorting, warping or cracking of cylinder heads, intake, manifolds, exhaust manifolds, bearing caps and rocker shafts could result from removing the bolts in incorrect order and incorrect sequence. For example, cylinder head bolts should be loosened gradually in several steps as describe in some repair manual. But the repair manual does not mention the tools in loosening the cylinder head bolts.
Therefore, I used torque angle meter to avoid distorted or cracked parts such as head cylinder heads, manifolds, etc. In order words, I used torque angle meter for loosening bolts that were tightened in sequence and in order; and for tightening bolts where a torque angle meter requirement is called for.

Works as listed! Jan 03, 2009

I ordered one of these to torque down the head on a Volvo 5 cylinder turbo engine,
it did the trick. I like the flex clamp to hold the dial while torquing down the bolts.
Don't try guessing without this tool, you'll NEVER get it right. If you only use this once it's
worth the price.

Tom May 19, 2010
By Tom Orbison
I recently had to rebuild an engine that the timing belt had failed. The specks call for the head bolts and others to use a torque angle meter. I had never used one before but with the aluminum heads on most cars now days this is a must. I researched several types and this one was the one I chose. It worked great and it was easy to use I would recommend it to anyone working on projects that call for a torque angle meter.
Cheap, Easy and Accurate Feb 15, 2012
By Travis M
This tool is a must have if you are serious about your torque accuracy. The tool provides highly accurate angle readings via the easy to read dial. It is also easy to install because it clips to any stationary part.
It is the next best thing to spending hundreds/thousands of dollars on professional equipment.
