My torque wrench was free! I was born with it (thumb and pointer finger)

Re:desent torque wench

The "digi-torque" at sears is nice, but its like $130. I use a $17.89 one from harbor freight, hasn't screwed me yet. If if feel like your putting 100FT/LBS on something that needs 35, you might wanna get a new one. The only thing I ever torque that needs to right is head bolts/studs, and I just put a metal head gasket and head studs in my civic, so I should need it anymore
