about how much does a good one cost? I dont think i trust those digital ones cuz they could get uncalibrated or w/e. but thats prolly cuz i dont know anything about digital tq wrenches.

Re: got a new torque wrench
I got a a spark plug torque wrench. it's a hand tool that clicks when the plug is torqued to spec. it's pretty baller.
I got a snap on torque wrench too, except mine I ------ old, but still holds up even after me using it as a hammer a couple times

My 35 year old Sears POS Craftsman that was set on 85 ft/lbs (major NO-NO!) was more accurate than EVERY digital and about 1/4 or the "old school" torque wrenches on his truck.

Nice wrench but I probually would'nt have got it, thats the kinda the tool you buy when you own everything else and just want to show off. Plus $40 a week for how long? I bought tools yesterday too, and I'll probually get some more tomarrow. OH snapz maybe I should make a thread and show off how big of a balla I am cause I got some tools

Re: got a new torque wrench
I don't care if it is a Snap-On, NO percision tool should even cost that little. It Means it's no percision because they be loosing so much money on it, they might as well give it away.
I've got a Westward Dial and Click Wrench, As long as I keep it in the cae, turn it down and don't drop it, the price I payed, I trust any motor on it. A torque wrench is something you don't want to skimp out on. The Snap-On we have at work are worth more then 2weeks pay for me!!
