Unpopular opinion: I bought that $400 'universal' torque wrench adapter kit and it was a complete waste because the sockets were all out of spec and I had to re-torque every single bolt on a Cessna 172's landing gear.

Honestly, I lost a whole Saturday and had to eat the cost of the kit because the manufacturer wouldn't take it back after I'd opened it, so has anyone found a decent brand for these that actually holds calibration?

Universal" kits are always junk.

Universal kits are basically fancy paperweights.

@blairj55 you said they're fancy paperweights, but have you actually had one that just straight up didn't fit at all? I'm curious what brand did the most damage.
